The power of example in style or mode in dress or feminine adorn- ment or unadornment is most difficult of control. It is so far hopeless, because we do not go to the source, but rather attempt to dam the flood of style and cus- tom after it has broken out of the banks. If we could reach the creators of things objectionable and ab- horred we might be doing a better day’s work. The whole matter is brought home by the revela- tions in the Detroit case, in which the parents of scholars of one, of the most largely attended high schools were invited to attend a mneeting to discuss the good of the schools. The motKers listened to things like these\ from teachers and others’ who had knowledge of the facts: That when many girls in their early teens appeared at school their dress. differed,ma- terially from that in which they ‘left home, a -few safety pins being capable of reducing: skirt lengths and producing other rather startling effects; that powder and rouge were used freély, after if not be- fore leaving home; that.eyebrows and’ slashes were often penciled; that fancy garters so placed as to show and roll stockings of high visibility below . the knee were worn; that not infrequently girls were.sent schoolrooms to qwash their faces, so -beplastered they; that the school authorities had actually’ cdnsid- ered taking the lookipg glasses aut of the lockers, so much time being spént by some girls in frenzied primping. Parents. at ‘the ‘meeting were asked not: to permit their daughters to attend in attire more suitable fot balls or fancy dress parties than. for a’ workaday school. They were also requested that, if they’ ap- proved the use of make-up cases by their daughters, they at least compel] said daughters to leave them at home and not bring them to: school. Instruction in manners and morels, .or\the limited instruction in public schools may be counted one of the deficiencies’ or a thing overlooked.’ Subjects of this character come more particularly within the province of the home. In matters so deeply personal as con- duct and dress, for schools to-admonish respecting them would likely give cause for resentment. Whether it does or not and whether parents shoulder or neglect to shoulder the responsibility that is rightfully theirs, the schools should lay down rules and regulations re- specting just such matters and see that they. were ob- served. In the Detroit affair parents learned for the first time and with some alarm and astonishment of ways and methods affected by daughters of which teachers had long been aware. It is high time that parents and teachers were get- ting closer together on the good of the order. __ If anybody knows of anything finer than a modest, innocent, unspoiled American girl, what is it? AGNES THE TRANSPORTATION SITUATION. The most important matter before the country today is the transportation situation now being argued by the carriers and brotherhoods. It challenges the thoughtful attention of everybody. Primarily it is a controversy between railroad com- panies and their employes over a matter of wages. If not direc then indirectly the issue affects the peo- ple of the wholes country, tormed the general public, for every seller of goods and every traveler is affected by Pal cost of railroad operation. A brief recital of the facts leading to the present situation although possibly well known to everyone, «ill not harm no¥ prejudice the cause of either side. In 1916 there was an increase in railroad wages by governmental order after the railroad brotherhoods had threatened to strike if their demands were not met by a certain day and hour. In response to the urgent recommendation of President Wilson, the Adamson act was passed by a Democratic congress and Mr. Wilson signed it, using four different pens which were presented to the heads of the four brotherhoods as mementoes of their victory over the government. Later, under government operation of the roads, wages were increased from time to time, and the scale of compensation remained at the government figure when the roads were turned back to private manage- ment. There have been adjustments in wage scales in most large employing concerns but none in rail- road employment, for the reason that the law pro- vides for certain conferences, appeals, hearings and formal decisions by a board. The railroads Propose a reduction of salaries and wages, from top to bot- tom, with equitable adjustments which make’ allow- ance for differences in rates of increase under gov- ernment orders In support of their proposal, the rairoad managers cite the fact that there have been adjustments in other lines of employment, and that government statistics show that a large proportion of| ee FS road mileage of the country is now operating| at a loss If this were a question between the railroad own- ers and railroad employes alone, the public could af- ford to quiescent and await the outcome. But the publ s the party to the controversy most vitally af- fected, therefore most extensively interested. Needless to oublic is and aways has been willing to p: nd equitable wage and to have the employ on rk under proper conditions. But, ( / ‘a large if not the controlling factor. | bankruptey. |four brotherhoods that any. change in wage scale can | enterprises, and, ;service rules, because it is the party that instituted the other hand, the public is entitled to have wages and working conditions adjusted if out of harmony, with wages and conditions in other lines of indaxry/ and enterprise. road employes, if continued on a war time basis, are! out of proportion to wages in. industries that have gone through a readjustment, is 4 question to be discusséd, and in the discussion public RpuOR, will be The railway wage increases began with an athtiary |raise granted in pursuance of an act of congress, and not through so-called “collective “bargaining.” ©The chosen representatives of the public authorized the arbitrary increase without the consent of the employ- ers. The employes can hardly justify themselves, therefore, in complaining at an arbitrary decrease in corresponding degree without their consent. The situation presented is a critical one—one that will not wait indefinitely for remedies, Many of the railroads are wel! on the way to receiverships if not The suggestion of the leaders of the come only after extended hearings—meaning long de- |lay—is one that will not find much support, outside f the offices of the brotherhood. The public is en- itled to continuous transportation service at a scale f compensation on a par with that realized by other whatever the procedure, the public will demand reasonably rapid action. ° The wets die hard.

The Smith-Towner educational measure, pending i in} congress while the subject of: much discussion ‘and| criticism is not we fear generally understood in the details of its provisions. Briefly, it provides, primarily for the creation of o federal department of education. This department) would take over the séveral educational boards and bureaus, now distributed among the several depart- ments of the gevernment; the object being to cén- tralize responsibility and effort and at the same time establish economy of operation. The purpose of the department would be to con- duct research in educational matters and among other things to distribute among the states an annual appropriation of a hundred million dollars, which is stated to be to “encourage the states in the promo- tion and support'of education.” Should any or all the states desire to “match dol- lars” with the government in this proposition, the funds thus jointly made available would be used*in this manner: One-half would go to the enlargement of teachers’ salaries; for the improvement of instruc-| tion; for the extension of school terms; for the build- ing up of public libraries, and similar ‘purposes, One- fifth of the amount might be expended for physical education and health instructio: three-twentieths would go for teacher training purposes; three-fourths | for instruction. of native-born i! rates over 14 years old, and the same amount for the instruction of \im- migrants more than 14 years of age, “in the English language, in the seat rte purposes of the American government and the duties. of citizenship in 4 free country.” to the allotments of the government would be under) obligations to proceed in expenditures under certain’ conditions, the most important of which: are tha schools would have to be, maintained to a \minimn of twenty-four weeks each year; that a compulsory school attendance law ‘be enforced, and that the Eng- Mish language be the basic language fab and. pak thé common branches i all schools,” publi¢’ and, priv vate. left entirely in the hands of the state and local edu- cationa] authorities; and there isa definite provision that the’ act shall not be construed ‘to “require uni- formity of courses of study.” Aside from the obection to increasing government expenditures and the insistence that education is a matter for the state, rather than the federal govern- ment, to handle, the chief criticism has been that the tendency of federal participation would be, to stand- ardize schools and prevent their adaptation to local conditions. Germany, with its uniform coursesof study prescribed under government direction, is. point- ed to as the horrible example. The bill, however, specifically leaves school contro] with the states. Ap- parently the only influence the national governmént would have through the measure would be indirect and moral rather than direct and actual. rn) The Republican party will of course apply, the ciyil that great reform in the public service, but it will first loosen the works up sufficiently. to get rid of the Wilson incompetents in the first, second and third class postoffices and other important places under the government, then of course the lid will be bolted down again. ARR ade yd oa RIGHTS A WRONG. President Harding is about to right a wrong per- petrated by Mr. Wilson just before his retirement from the presidency. It was such a small calibre wrong and so unworthy a president as to almost for- feit the respect due the man and the office by the public. At the last moment Mr. Wilson requested the resignation of Obediah Gardner, a Democrat, and a most estimable gentleman and qualified official, from the international joint commission dealing with the boundary waters between the United States and Can- ada. The resignation was demanded in order to point Secretary Tumulty to the place. The presi- dent’s action created a storm which chilled Mr, Tu- multy’s feet and he declined to accept the vacancy created under such unusual circumstances. Mr. Wilson then offered the vacant place to Mr. W. B. Wilson, secretary of labor in the cabinet. Ho promptly accepted although he possesses no merit that would entitle him to serve in the capacity of a mem- ber of such a commission. Mr. Wilson's services were brief however, for when his resignation was asked he promptly sent it in and retired from the job he had held but few weeks, It is the intention of President Harding to restore Mr. Gardner to his former position at once so he can proceed in the St. Lawrence waterway negotiations which means so much to the country, and especially that portion west of Chicago. The country will approve Mr. Harding’s action and Wyoming will especially endorse it because Former Whether the compensations of rail- sa The states which might make appropriations equal} Courses of study in the schools and the execution| ;, of provisions attached to appropriated: funds would) be} ” ir FROM OUR WOMING EXCHANGHS.

The \storm was accom penied by only a slight wind: The storm struck nearly all of the Rocky Mountain states at pretty nearly the same time, but in most instances tt was short-lived and long “before mid-' night it had completely subsided. Weather forecasts issued from Wash- ington for the “Rocky -Mountain- dis- trict were for a con lower temperature but little rain or snow is anticipated for the week: “But you oughta seen it in 1888," croaked=the old-timer in the middle of the bitzara last night.

They were compelled to ship in a few laborers from Billings to supply the need, but now all men needed are at hand. ‘One hundred and sixty feet of the work on the tunnel have now been completed. ‘Tho total length of the tunnel will be about 850 feet. Mr. Longwell states that it is probable that all the work on the tunnel will be done from the one entrance, instead of excavating from both ends.
