There is every indication that our friends, the Socialists, are going to stick around a while. We trust our deer will not be so illmannerly as to step on the toes of our friends from the city.

Hurrah for Chuch! ’Ear, ear! NOT SOUND. It doesn’t seem to this paper that the argument of expense is against calling an extra session. It would be, in our opinion, about the best paying investment the state ever made. It has been shown that an extra session could be held at a total cost of not more than $25,000. Every expense possible should, by all means, be cut. Not a single unnecessary employe should be employed. The committee clerks, janitors, doorkeepers, gallery lookouts and others usually identified with a full working regular session should be absent from an extra ses- sion, except so far as their presence for such a session is absolutely nec- essary for the prompt handling of the business of the lawmakers. NORTH LEADS IN RURAL SCHOOL REFORM. Just what is being accomplished in consolidation of rural schools in Min- nesota, is told in a statement issued by C. G. Schultz, state superintendent of public instruction. Mr. Schultz has a laurel wreath for “the little red school house” which, he says, has passed, and holds out a glittering view of a future waiting consolidated schools, if the people will grasp their opportunities. He says: “Minnesota has set itself the task of making its rural school as efficient as those of its villages and cities. Can | it be done? No doubt of it. Will it be done? The art of prophesy is common, the gift is rare. It is a worthy task? Of our half million school children many more than half are dependent upon the rural schools for their early training. And the ru- ral school in the mass have been wretchedly inefficient—poor in equip- ment, wanting in modern building conveniences, ungraded, isolated and taught in the main by a constantly changing body of instructors, wholly ‘without professional trying. lic instruction have coiispired to im- prove the coiidition of the one-room country school, and county superin- tendents have co-operation in every ‘way. There has been improvement. Teachers are better educated,: build- ings are better heated,.lighted and ventilated. ‘Many an isolated rural school now has a fairly good equip- ment of necessary utensils and some progress has been made in grading and reducing the number of classes to be taught daily. “The Holmberg act went into effect April 21 of the current year. Since that date thirty schools have applied for aid under the law. It will be re- membered -that’ the law provides a minimum territory of twelve sections for a consolidated school district. The average territory for these thirty schools is well up toward the area of o/ township. “The most notable feature of this list is the progress of consolidation in the northern section of the state. The greater number of the thirty schools lie well up toward the north- ern boundary, and only four are south of the twin cities. This evidence of progress in our great undeveloped north bespeaks a rapid opening of this region -by desirable settlers and thereby a measurable increase in the state’s resources. “It will take time to increase this new class of schools for effective work in industrial subjects. There must be always in view the purpose of making instruction in these subjects serve a community need. Courses of study in manual training and home economics will not be good because they are like those offered in urban communities. They may be so shaped as to harmon- ize with the interests and activities of the school locality. A bulletin has just been issued by the state department, outlining such a plan of industrial work. “Thus.the children of the country districts are coming into their own. They are to have within easy reach of the home an equal opportunity with the children of the city. They may receive the elements of a good educa- tion, and still spend the years of childhood and youth under the pro- tecting care of parents. The crime of sending to the city the adolescent youth of the country district among indifferent strangers, to secure an ed- ucation during that trying period when they have all the passions and imptlses of adults; and: no knowledge of life, wofild of “itself sufficiently ]ué— tify the discontinunace of the one- room rural school system which gave rise to it. “The barbaric vault closet, the breeder of indelicacy, indecency, im- morality and disease, that also is to disappear.. The drinking cup, with its rusty, repulsive, germ- lined rim, carrying its yearly freight- age of contagion into many homes, and untimely death to some, it is to be banished from the rural as it has from the urban school. One lingers lovingly over the memories which are inseparably connected with ‘the little red schoolhouse of history and of per- sonal experience. But the day of its usefulness is by. It has served its purpose, and its successor, the modern country graded school, equipped and organized in harmony with modern standards, is at hand.” common NO REIGN OF PRUDERY THREATENED. ‘Woman has acquitted herself tri- umphantly at the very point where her critics had been most -doubtful. If we have equal suffrage, we have been told, and juries of women, look out for a reign of prudery and petty censorship. Yet it has oddly hap- pened that California’s first jury of women had for its first duty to try an editor on the charge (brought, no doubt, by men) of publishing an ob- scene and indecent newspaper, and waited only twenty minutes to re- turn a verdict of not guilty. The edi- tor had simply reported in his news- paper the words used to him by a hostile town trustee. Profane simp- 1y, decided the jurors, and not inde- cent, and added that such words were less of a shock in a newspaper than when heard while passing a saloon: “Yet such men are never arrested. ‘Why should we punish the editor?” Sensible womén! They have heaped coals .of fire on the head of the ac- cused editor, who had been opposed to woman suffrage. Who says that wom- en cannot be magnanimous?

Governor Simon E. Baldwin, whom; the Democrats of Connecticut-are dis-| cussing.for the presidential-nomina- tion, is one of America’s legal au- thorities.

Students of the University of Min- nesota have organized a LaFollette club to aid the Wisconsin senator’s candidacy for the presidential nomi- nation.

A Blot on Its Record. The evil of adulteration has its hu- morows phases, one of which is brought out in “Science and the Crim- inal,” a book by €. Ainsworth Mitch- ell, the head of the inspection burean of Scotland’ Yard. An eminent English counsel was cross examining Mr. Siemens. the clec- trical expert, in a case in which there was a dispute about the- working of some electrial plant. “I think, Mr. Siemens, that yon have had a long experience with electric- ity.” “That is so.” “Well, ncw, I want you to tell me ‘whether in the course of all your ex- perience you have ever known electric- ity to be advlterated?” “In only one instance.”” “When was that?” eagerly asked counsel. “In the phrase ‘greased lightning,’”” the expert replied demurely. A Difference of Opinion. On one occasion Bishop G. of At- lanta purposed leaving home on a Sat- urday night. train, arriving in Savan- nah the next morning in time to fill a pulpit engagement. His brother, much his senior, old fashioned in his notions of Sabbath vbservance, hearing of the proposed Sunday trip, tovk him to task about it. The bishop explained that he was staying home as long as .pos- sible to take care of his children, “who had been 1l all the week, so that ‘his wife would be in better shape to nurse them during his absence. “You see, Allen,” the explanation ended, “it's a case of the ox in the ditch.” “Ox in the ditch nothing!” snorted ‘his brother in-disgust. “It's a case of a donkey in a sleeping car!’—8t.

Many Republicans in the last house voted for the Demo- cratic wool bill, which would have be- come a law but for the president’s veto. With the statistics furnished by the tariff ‘board it seems alto- gether likely that a measure reducing the tariff items, .especially as these apply to manufactured woolens, will command-not only the Democratic support, but a large element on the republican side of :the Chamber. . . x o Two-thirds of the offices of con- gressmen are again open and doing business, although considerably less than half of the total number of rep- resentatives have returned to the capitol, and their affairs are in the hands of their secretaries. Quite a few of the offices were kept going during the summer months. Senator LaFollette is one of the men who never left the job. *xo. i A unique white wash that has been used in. Uruguay, which might be brought into service in parts of our own country, where cactus is found, is described by United States Consul Frederic W. Godding, stationed at Montevedio. 'In his letter to the state department the consul writes as follows ‘When traveling through the rural districts of Uruguay one’s attention is attracted to the fine white color of the farm buildings, ev- en during the wet season. To ob- tain this neat effect a white wash is used which is made with the sliced leaves of the common cactus, macer- Had a Full Course.. ‘The sign in front of a Harlem res- taurant attrocted the eye of a farmer, and he went. im.

SAGE TEA WILL DARKEN THE HAR Restore Faded and Gray Hair to Na- tural Color—Dandruff Quickly Removed., There is nothing new about the idea of using sage for restoring the| color of the hair. Our great-grand- mothers kept their locks soft, dark and glossy by using a “sage tea.” Whenever their hair fell out or took on a dull, faded or streaked appear- ance they made a brew of sage leaves and applied it to their hair, with| ‘wonderfully beneficial effect. Nowadays we don’t have to resort to old-time, tiresome methods of gathering the herbs and making the tea. This is done by skillful chem- ists better than we could do it our- selves, and all we have to do is to call for the ready-made product.

The American navy has grown to such proportions, and evidently the Deople of the nation are so proud of it—as ‘was demonstrated during the recent spectacular show in New York har- bor, that there is a sentiment one hears’daily expressed in the capital, that the United States does not need to form any alliances or partnerships with Great Britain in orderto main- tain peace on this side of the salted seas. The spirit of the peaca situa- tion appears to be that the Agerican people ‘are well satisfied becaugle they are at peace with the world, and cherish - contentment over the fact that if any other nation is_fncllned to interfere with the universal com- fort we are enjoying in that'respect, that .we have a navy big enough to bluff them off without the necessity of trying out conclusions in real war- fare. < *a The bodies of forty-three sailors who died in the wreck of the Maine have been recovered since the work started in raising the ship.
