REPRESENTATIVE sHELDON's
PLAN.

so AHHH
If Representative Sheldon, of Wash
ington county, former Republican
Governor Of Nebraska, shares the
view Of most Northern republicans,
no doubt he would like to see social
and political equality between the
races in this state and in the South.
If he shares this view why not carry
his educational program for the en-
lichtment of us poor benighted Mis-
sissippians little further and in
elude the negro school at Rodney
for amalgamation with our other
state institutions? One is about as
practical and logical as the other. If
political equality in the South means
anything, it means that the STATE
must extend its educational advan-
tages to all citizens alike and the ne
groes cannot be denied university
training at the great co-educational
and co-racial school at jackson. Are
there not negroes at the University Of
Nebraska, where he came from?
Another very serious objection is
its co-educational feature. We be-
lieve less in co-education now than
ever. The war has done more to
break down the barriers existing be-
tween the sexes than anything that
has occurred in the previous history
of this country. Men and women are
doing things which a few years ago
would not have been tolerated in de-
cent society. 1t is a fast and pro-
fligated ard dissipated age Of autos
and extreme dancing and social ex-
cesses everywhere. Our whole social
fabric is being undermined and the
demand now is for every restraining
influence. This is a view worthy Of
consideration, especially in these
times.
Representative Sheldon and Senator
Cellar want to make the |. l. and c
and A. and NJ. secondary and prepar-
atory schools. Only few years ago
the legislature cut out the preparatory
branches Of these schools, increasing
their collegiate work and they
are doing magnificent work as col
leges. Is the legislature to face about
so soon in its educational policy {?
With the development of the high
school system all over the state what
will become Of these colleges doing
similar grade work
Their plan contemplates saving adj
ditional appropriations for these col
leges. The increased appropriations
are largely in the increased support
funds made absolutely necessary by
the times. What are the colleges to
do without adequate funds to run on?
What will become of their faithful
teachers and attendants, who have
stood by their posts sof duty through
all these trying times? Is there no
obligation of the state to them? In
the new appropriation bill are they not
to be provided for and taken care of :?
Surely the legislature is not going to
refuse them salary that will enable
the to live.
1t is the wrong time for any such
radical change,

MIR. Dodson Warns Against Use
of Treacherous, Dangerous
CalOr1el.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tonic for few cents
which is a harmless vegetable substi-
tute for dangerous calomel. Take a
spoonful and If 1t doesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better and
quicker than nasty calomel and with
out making you sick, you just go back
and get your money.
II you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides
it may salivate you, while If you take
Dodsons Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great. full Of ambition and
ready for work or play. It's harmless.
