line, but for the successful operation
of the machinery of the government a
business man is absolutely necessary.

Harvey's Weekly: One of the prime
indictments IF the socialist party has
been that it permitted unnaturalized
aliens to participate actively in it's
management and control. Tha truth
of this charge was made patent in the
convention, number Of the members
of which were aliens who had not be-
come citizens. These persons partici-
pated in the framing of the platform
and in the nomination of candidates.
The state of New York will thus he
asked to give place on it's official ball
lot to the names Of candidates chosen
by aliens. We have no hesitation in
saying that such demand is indecent
and should be illegal. AS to the nomi-
nation of Debs as the party's candidate
for president, we shall, for tie present,
content ourselves with calling it wholly
characteristic.

RETURNING TO SAVAGE DAYS?
Feathers, Furs and Jewels, Now So
Popular, Are Reminiscent of Our
Early Ancestors.

Glimpses Of present fashions and
views of some shop windows lead to
the impression that the world is, after
all as some commentators say, revert
ing to the savage, remarks the New
York Evening Sun.
Women are wearing more and more
feathers in their hair and more and
more large and ornate jewelry upon
their hands and in their ears. Men are
showing a decided inclination to orna-
ment themselves to the limit of their
purses in these days Of the high cost of
clothes, and altogether anthropologists
tell us it is not such a very far cry
from the adornments of present-day
civilization to that of the Nearanthaler
man or the Garden of Eden itself.
The fashions Of last winter showed a
prediction toward furs such as the
world has never seen since the days
when they were worn raw. Both men
and women wore them.
In milder climates women seem to
be wearing less and less. The stage is
noteworthy in respect to the unclothed
feminine back and certain sections of
society seem to follow the stage. Fash
IONS return to. Eve seems in certain
cases to be mere matter of weeks, as
we progress in these swiftly changing
times. J

and home economics will open at the
university farm on June FL and con-
tinue until July 80. Regular college
classes for college credits will be
opened and special course offered for
principals of consolidated schools. A
library training school will be held
under the direction of the library divi-

ton. The division of agriculture
biochemistry and entomology will
make a special offer of work to gradu-
ate students, some phases Of which will
be continued through the summer in
order to utilize that part Of the year
which is the most favorable for such
studies. Saturday, June 10, and Mon

days for the summer session at uni

register any time on or before 8 a. M,

Casing Forest Fire Impractical.

The, officials Of the United States
department of agriculture have been
in receipt Of sosmany suggestions rel
alive to exiting gushing forest fires with
the use Of gas bvti6bs dropped from air
planes that it has been found neces-
sary to issue statement for the pur-
pose Of explaining that the scheme is
not feasible. For the purpose of over
coming detachment of men, mix
ture Of one part Of virulent poison to
100000 of air would be entirely suf-
fcient to accomplish the purpose, but
one of $50 parts to the thousand would
not be powerful enough to quench a
confagation. Another thing to be
taken into consideration is, the difficult
ty of dropping the bombs with the nee
essary precision. The art of striking
a target with any degree Of accuracy
has not been developed at this time
and there is no prospect that it will
be sufficiently perfected to the point of
becoming available for the purpose of
fighting fires.

The Third Party Bupaboo.

The favorite indoor sport of the
imaginative writer's Of political dope"
for the magazines and newspapers at
present is planning "splits" in the re-
publican, party, and launching "third"
parties. They are succeeding in scar
ing good many people, anxious for
the success of the republican party, by
handling the facts rather carelessly
and inventing all sorts of theories as
to the terrible things that are likely
to happen at and Immediately after
the approaching republican national
convention.
The third party we have always had
with us. Nearly every campaign since
the civil war has witnessed the ex-
ploitation not merely of third parties,
but of fourth, fifth, and even sixth and
seventh parties. History is repeating
itself this year in the discussion of
minor parties, new and old. These
movements never have landed any,
where. The only third party move
ment that ever reached the point
where it was seriously considered as
a contender for national control was
the progressive party in 1912; and
that, really, was not third party,
but division Of the republican party
which later returned to the parent
organization.
No man or movement now existing
has the shadow of chance of causing
serious embarrassment or threatening
the defeat Of the republican party
through the launching Of a third
party. Any such movement, on the
contrary, would be more likely to in
crease than to decrease the prospect
of republican success.

DON'T TICKLE THE cELLIsT
Happening at Detroit Shows the I'm.
wisdom Of That Particular
Form Of Piayfuiness.

One should never tickle a cello play
er in the ribs, especially If he is IA
nous one such as Phillip Abbas of the
Detroit Symphony orchestra, remarks
the Detroit News in recent issue.
Graham Harris, second violinist, did,
and l. almost cost him lot of trou-
BILE, to say nothing of new violin
bow.
The story came out when sHarris
filed a suit for $500 in justice court
against Abbas. 1t was story of tenn
permanent and temper and the trouble
arose at rehearsal. Ossip Gabrilo-
witsch, director, was away for a few
minutes, and the temperamental ones
INDUCED in few moments of play
boy, not music. Harris reached his
violin bow over and tickled Abbas in
the ribs. Abbas does not care to be
tickled in his ribs and he swung a
wicked cello bow to demonstrate that
he did not care for tickling. There
was snap and the second violinist's
best bow was mess and wreckage.
"Ah. ha," shouted Harris. "You
have broken my bow. You shall pay
"Shan't," shouted Abbas. "Your
own fault. You had no business in
my ribs" They glared and then the
director appeared and the fight was
dropped. It was taken up again via
a Justice court suit. 1t is believed that
the suit never will be heard. The or

So r. F.. Smith, publisher of the
Book News, has been compelled to
throw up the sponge. He states that
his paper has been suppressed,
strangled and squelched through the
activities of the socialistic nonpartisan
league" with whom he is not in SYM
pathy. Smith says that through our
unwillingness to boost their rotten
politics the dagger has fallen and our
business is ruined by the same tactics
that ruined over 100 papers in North
Dakota" Editor Smiths conscientious
Americanism would not permit him to
truckle to the dictates Of the radical
element so he has been compelled to
close up shop. All loyal Americans
heartily approve of the course pur-
sued by him.

New ENGLAND Least American.

Talk of.Amerieanizing New England
rings oddly on American ears. If the
cradle of our country needs American
izing, where are we?
We think Of Massachusetts, as the
heart Of New England. Among the
states it is next to the Oldest" But
a count of her present generations
parentage shows Massachusetts to be
almost the least American of. the 48
states, the World Outlook states.
The 1910 census discovered that only
80 per cent Of Massachusetts, folks
were native born of native parents
More than 68 per cent were either for
eign born or were born here Of foreign
parents. Later figures would be even
more astounding. The years that in
ftervene between 1910 and the outbreak
of the war saw the greatest influx of
immigrants the country has ever
known.

Is it any wonder that the price Of
clothing has jumped to almost pro-
hibitive prices when manufacturers of
cloth make from 300 to 400 per cent
profit? At least such profteering is
charged to the American Wooden COM
pany Of New York, which has been
indicted on ID counts under the Lever
act. The books of the company show
that despite a five-months' strike in its
mills during the past year its profits
amounted to $15,OOO,0O0. So it is
reasonable to assume that if this cor
poration made enormous profits other
companies did likewise, as big manu-
facturers, have never been known to
put forth any perceptible effort to cut
one another's threats by actual compe-
tition in prices.

convicted anarchists loose instead of
deporting them. IT'S a pity America

National Republican: The federal
reserve system has been used not only
as means of tremendous currency in
flation, but for the encouragement Of
speculation as contrasted with produc-
tive enterprise. Loans have been free
ly made on "sure thing" purchases of
foodstuffs and other commodities
bought for speculative purposes. This
speculative activity has been RESPONSE
bic for much of the profteering in the
necessities of life. There is growing
demand that the federal reserve sys-
tenn be operated for the service of the
country rather than that of certain in
terests.

AS expected, the president has We
toed the Knox resolution which de-
clared an end to the war between the
United States and Germany and con-
sequently the conflict is virtually, if
not in actuality, still on. Such a peace
as the resolution calls for, says Mr.,
Wilson, is inconsistent with the digni-
ty of the United States. It seems that
the president is determined to have his
own way and call the fight off himself,
so the proposition remains up in the
air. The stubborness of some men

loaned money to every country in Eu-

flight from Sydney to Melbourne of Sir

The lilac and the budding rose,
And daisy gemmed with dew,

Our service flags unfold. /.
