At the coming city election the
people will be asked to vote on the
question of granting new franchise
to the PEOPLES Telephone Co. The
old franchise has not expired but the
company wishes to make some chang
es in the system which are not pro-
vided for in the old franchise and it
is for this reason that the new one is
requested. A new telephone building
is to be erected just south Of the
postofice, and when the new wire
connections are made tbs company
wishes to remove the present over
head lines which are not only un-
slightly, but are so overloaded with
wires that much trouble is caused
from tangled wires and interference
with shade trees. The plan is to put
in large cables underground, running
mostly through the alleys. While
this change will entail considerable
expense on the start. the managers
feel that the saving in the end thru
elimination of line trouble will justi-
fy the expense. The city will be i'm
proved in appearance, aud the patrons
relieved Of much annoyance caused by
tangled wires every time there is a
severe wind storm. The new fran
chise gives the company the right to
construct these underground lines and
we believe the voters will heartily
support the change by voting for the
franchise.
Another thing to be voted on is the
levy of small tax for the support of
the band. The law gives the voters
a right to vote for levy not to ex I.
ceed one mill for this purpose. As
Scotland has never had a band since
this law was enacted such levy has
never been voted, but band has no
been organized and is receiving IN
struction uader the competent leader
ship Of Chas. McClung OF Tripp. 1t
is composed of young boys, mostly
beginners, and they are making rapid
progress. So far the expense has
been borne by private contributions,
but the band will be public benefit
and it is no more than just that the
public should snare III the cost which
will be Insignificant when distributed
among all of the citizens. Let as en-
courage the boys by giving them this
support, and the evening concerts
which they will be able to give on
the streets during the summer even.
ings will more than compensate for
the favor that they are asking of the
tax payers.

A resolution declaring the war at
an end was passed by the lower house
Of congress- last Saturday by vote OF
242 to $50. Twenty two democrats
voted in favor of the resolution and
two republicans against it. The cen.
ate 10 expected to pass it this week
by close margin. There is some
speculation as to what effect such q
resolution will have. Under the con-
stitution congress can not make q
peace treaty independent of the presi-
dent. but inasmuch as congress has
authority to declare state Of wal it
ehould have authority to declare a
state Of peace. While it can not fix
the terms of peace this resolution
should nullify the arbitrary war pow.
er conferred upon the president, and
that will help some.

LONG A PLACE OF WORSHIP
Before the Christian Era Romans Hon,
ored Their Gods on the Noun.
tain Of Monserrat.

Monserrat, the famous shrine in the
Spanish province Of Barcelona, illus
trates the effect which high mountains
have on men. When you climb to the
top Of a high mountain you feel wor-
shfpful and at peace with the universe.
Mcnserrat is an outlying spur of the
Pyrennees which stands all alone,
splendidly dominating a rich plain. It
Is one Of the most ancient and famous
of Catholic shrines. According to
legend, many centuries ago an image
Of the Virgin was found at the top of
the mountain, and it was impossible to
move the image. Thus it was shown
to men that they should build a shrine
on Monserraf.
In medieval times 1t was q shrine Of
unexcelled beauty and splendor. An
emperor came here to kneel and to
cover the great Byzantine church with
geld. A queen walked up the noun
tain barefoot. The. great and the
learned Of all the Christian world
gathered at Monserrat. Its greatness
came to an end in the nineteenth GEN.
tury when the French sacked the
shrine and carried away the orna-
mentS.
Now tile church has been rebuilt
and offers free lodging to the pilgrims
who come there still, but the fame
and splendor Of the place have shrunk.
Yet Monserrat will always be shrine.
Before Christ the Romans had tenn
pie Of Venus there and before that
more than likely savages worshiped
their gods on the mountain top.
Worship veritably grows In the SOD
Of Monserrat.

Paris Turns to Tailored Suit.

The tailored suit, which is about
the most expensive costume in Paris,
is again becoming popular. During
the war period the women of Paris
were deprived Of man-tailored street
costumes. owing to the fact that all
masculine workers in dressmaking
shops were mobilized. Now the
tailored suit comes back into fashion
with all the force and interest of a
novelty.
For this reason the blouse, from a
standpoint Of fashion, is again COM
Ing into its own. Considerable inter-
est is manifested in the simple
tailored blouse with frilled collar and
revers. Some of these new shirt style
blouses are high necked, with collar
somewhat in Peter Pan shape. but
falling from the top Of straight
neckband. This style Of collar was
launched by Lanvin in connection with
a number Of her tailored suits and
blouses, and neckwear manufacturers
have taken it up.
The wide ribbon sash-girdle is still
one Of the most popular trimmings.

ing houses as well as the milliners are

The wide skirt is dying hard in
Paris. owing to the popularity Of the
house of Jeanne Lanvin. who dresses

it was Lanvin who launched the hip

the reason why certain women con-

This fashion Is noted especially
among the actresses in Paris, some Of
the most important of whom are

to their fidelity to the dressma '.er. as
