CAMPAIGN PLEDGES

One of the favorite paStimes Of puD- lie officials in America is the breaking of campaign pledges. It seems they are made with the metal reservation on the part of the candidate that he may break them at his pleasure The queer part of it is that the public seems to take it as a matter of course.
 The matter of fact is that the prom ises upon which candidate IS elected should be considered among the most sacred promises. The fact that they arc not is one of the great evils in our representative government. when d candidate represents to his consutu tents that he will exercise his trust Ill such and such manner and Is elecI- cd upon this understanding his tallure to carry out his promises is crime and he does as much harm to our sys- tenn of government as the aharchls'' for he brings the government Tn ois- .rnute and weakens it to the attack ol those onposed to organized govern ment When people see their ehorts aI the ballot box come to naught through broken pledges more and more of them turn to the belief in direct action Wnch means the death of all government.
 The evil in broken campain pledge extends from the lowest to the high est officer in the land. Public officers who break their promises with their constituents are not subject to the law but they should be subject to pub lie condemnation.
 One of the most effective means of handling the situation is the recall True it is that in the states wnere this right is retained by the people not a great deal of use is made of f but we believe that the reason of this is that there is less inclination on the part of the public officials to break faith.
 The recall came in for considerable opposition because of the extensive use it was proposed to make of it. It should only be applicable to thos of ficials of a representative nature and should not be extended to officers such as judges who are not representative in their nature.
 The recall is a good thing as a safe ty valve on public sentiment. If num- Der of people feel a grievence as re- suit of the action of certain of their representatives instead of having to simmer with the lid fast down they can expend their energy in a recall If they are beaten they can then know they are in the minority and the ma- jority must be right of at least they must submit to the will of the major ity. This is not hard for the Anglo Saxon peoples to understand for they have the idea of the rule by the ma- jority fully imbued in their makeup
 There is one thing that should be possible and that is when a public of ficer finds that he cannot keep a cam paign promise he should apply to his constituents for their permission to al ter his pre-campaign plans or else car resign his trust rather than breal faith. This method is even better thar the recall

which are lovely to behold. There
are silk capes and silk coats and silk
hats. In fact, there is no part Of the
realm of dress where silk has not
taken the stand of being the leading
| fabric and where it has not success
fully maintained that lead.
| A long coat of heavy crepe silk has
been trimmed with monkey fur. But
more original, and to some minds
more beautiful, is the idea of trim
ming heavy silk material with a
big, rolling collar Of chenille. This
has been well done in q long cape
coat of exceptionally good line, which
| had low set draped belt at the back
and long, loose sleeves, to which was
added the cape effect that stretched
across the back. The chenille collar
had long tassels which hung down
the back when the collar was draped
about the throat.
| Another smart costume made Of
black heavy crepe has appeared,
trimmed with silver in Chinese de-
sign, with q high collar which served
to carry out the prevalent Russian
effect This may seem like too much
Of a combination of ideas, but the
ultimate effect was charming.
Chinese embroidery is appearing on
many of the modern gowns in unex-
pected ways. For instance, there was
frock Of soft serge. 1t had around
the sleeves a band Of vermiEon and
yellow Chinese embroidery near the
elbows. From these bands hung long
and loose sleeve panels which Topped
about. Across the front Of the bodice
and supporting long front skirt
panel there was another band Of the
same Chinese embroidery, and these
little spots of red did a great deal
toward giving snap to the dress.
The short coat-cape deserves men
ton, for many Of them are bedecking
women who, in past seasons, would
have scorned capes as being out Of
their style. 1t Is astonishing how all
sorts and conditions have taken to
the cape this season. Most of the
smarter short capeS are loose and
flowing at the back, and In the front
they cross or fasten into the belt in
some way or other. A short coat that
can be worn with little dresses or
over the separate skirt has straight
and loose back and front with very
wide, hanging sleeves and invisible
fastenings This is made in a light
weight duvetyn that is called summer
duvetyn and in a dull almond green.
Over a plaid silk dress it looks par

If one does kind acts, thinks kind
thoughts and brightens the pathways
of his fellows with kindly smiles, he
is almost certain to find his kindness

thinking of the happiness of others, his
face usually is hard, his thoughts sell
fish and his own pathway bare of the

at night when all was still in the doc
tors office.
Right under Hans feet was a little
calendar over which Hans seemed to
be standing guard, but though he had
such an important duty he was not
at all happy because near him stood
a paperweight in the form of stern
looking boy with his arms folded in
such a way that he could hold pencil
or penholder.
Paper-weight Boy looked upon Hans
with disdain, and told him that he
was too gayly dressed for boy, and
besides that his hair was cut like a

Poor little Hans was very unhappy,
because though he told Paper-weight
Boy he was a Dutch boy and that was
the way they dressed in his country,

Then Paper-weight Boy, being
made of brass, did not tumble over as
did Hans when the wind happened to

Old Theory Exploded.

1t is commonly believed that the
great temple of Karnak was built by
the ancient Egyptians so that the sun
at the precise moment of the solstice
should shine straight down the axis Of
the temple. But the Egyptian survey
has made accurate measurements of
the temple and proves that the sun
has never been visible at all, at any
moment in any day in any year along
the axis Of the temple, since about
5000 B. c., and that it last set along
the central line Of this axis between
twelve thousand and thirteen thou
sand years ago. "At this date" says
the Scientific American, Europe was
still in the Old Stone Age; the cave
period was at its zenith, and the huGtt-
ers of the Dosdogne were chasing
reindeer over the French tundras. To
suppose that the temple Of Karnak
can have been built then is out of the
question"

Increasing Favor; AiIover Romper
Worn Under Dress.

Combination pantaloon dresses are
to have increasing popularity; the
pantie effect may even go to extremes
and outclass the dress altogether. The
newest show the pants developed in
an allover romper worn under the
dress, which is a kind of jumper,
belted. This gives two garments, in
stead of one.
Keep in mind the fact that white
dominates in spring fashions, that the
individual demand is for exceeding
simplicity. Lower prices than those
of a season ago are demanded, and
sport wear must have more than or
dinary consideration.
Buy plenty of sweaters, with slip
overs in the lead, and you can't go
far wrong.
