johnson was on his way to Har.

Women's Bathing Suits.

The old, old controversy about
bathing suits for women is again
raging in the East, and we see
the usual crop of absurd orders
from Atlantic City, Cape May,
Coney Island and almost every
place where men and women 60

The whole thing is based, up
on the absurd idea that there is
something immodest in a woman
dressing for ocean bathing in
the same manner that custom
and common sense dictate Tor
men. There is nothing in it.
There is no more reason why a
women should be compelled to
wear stockings when bathing in

Somehow or other the women,
although they are the ones it,
volved, seem to take less inter-

questions pertaining to rights.
They should take the matter up
and settle it, if for no other
reason than to stop this perpetu-
al debate. Evening Post.

A Tine for Action.

WuiCu ICuOCICo CuuopiCuOuc
public service, in unearthing the
scandalous circumstances sur.
rounding the pardon of Frank
Blair, is right when it declares
that the whole State is interest.
ed in the affair.
The State is demanding, as it
has right to- demand, that all
the facts of the Blair pardon be
brought to light. 1t is well
enough for Gov. Morrow to say,
81 have made a mistake, l am
sorry" but his.repentance is bar
rem unless he uses the full power
of his Administration to expose
and punish those who were in
strumental in procuring this par
don, whereby a notorious bandit
and crook was turned loose with
serious Federal charges pending
against him.
The temper of the people of
the State is to acquit Gov. Nor
row of any intentional wrong
doing in the matter, but if he
wishes public opinion to continue
in that charitable mood toward
him, he must do something more
than talk.
Mr.. Calvin, the shrewd Repub-
lican leader in Covington, whose
connection with the 1915 Guber-
material campaign gained him
Statewide notoriety, and who
was MIR. Ernst's personal mana
ger in the campaign last fall,
should be called on the carpet to
detail his activities in the case.
He should explain why he felt
called upon to extend the hospi-
tally of his automobile to a rob.
ber-convict, whose pardon he
had been instrumental in procur-
ing, and whisk that convict
away to Paris, KY, where the
latter might catch railroad
train to flee to safety, when he
declares that he did not know
the convict, and had no personal
or pecuniary interest in securing
his release.
He should explain further the
conflict between his statement
that he never saw Blair before
the pardon was granted, and the
statement of the Warden of the
penitentiary that Calvin called
on Blair upon as many as wo
occasions while Blair was in con.
finement.
Mr.. Calvin, or some one else
who knows, should explain why,
at absolute variance from the
rules of the institution, no rec
ord was kept of his visits to see
Blair, and that the assistant su-
perintendent at the, reformatory
hailing from Mr.. Galvin's neigh
Dor city of Newport, and who
vas charged with the duty of
recording Mr.. Galvin's visits,
was discharged from the service
the day after the exposure was
made.
Some of these facts and cir
cumstances seem to defy expla-
nation, but Mr.. Calvin is entitled
to his day in court and to explain
them if he can. To himself. his
Administration and to the State
Gov. Morrow owes it that this
opportunity be given Mr.. Calvin
at once.
