We should hate to think so. Dut this
week we have evidence that young
ladles of that age are Investing thtlr

hopes.

look at, this attitude cam as some
thing of a shock.
It hasn't born more than twe or
three years since every young lady
past Hghtecn hnd one of those cher
ished chosts. I!y the tlmi she reach
ed twenty, It was pretty Well filled
with all sorts of stuff in readiness
for the day of days. But if lhi young
lady with whom we were talking
fairly represents the members f her
Bex at her age, It's going to bo bard

Whatever Is responsible for the
Ions of interest in hope Chests ought
to be found out and punished. Trob
ably it's tbe-'prof liters. They have
taken the Joy out of everyhlng clsi
but some things ougfft to be sacred,
even to profiteers. Put ui down on
record as favoring bollta the cul
prits in oil or anointing thorn with
turpentine, reserving the right to
Vote for some worse punishment if
one should be discovered.
The civil liberties Union sends us
another grist of publ'.city dope this
morning. They are still trying toTPt
the goats of the department of Jus
tice and A. Mitch Palmer, the at
torney general. This article la headed
"Political Prisoners Torturi-d," a.ut
It Is a hair-raising account of the way
in which one McCoshem, whoso name
sounds like he might be of Irish
Iltbrew descent, confined at loit
Leavenworth, had been punished for
refusing to work by being placed la
solitary confinement with the hands
manacled to the bars Of hla cell dur
ing regular working hours.
The war department, to the- civil
liberties league states, used to have
this "Inhuman" punishment, but
abolished it. The department of jus
tice continues It, and In a letter to
the league officials, says that "It is
entirely satisfied and desires no
change." We refuse to get worked
up over McCoshem's wrongs until
we know more about tne case. There
are some offenses for which this
would be a rather light punishment,
and It Mae Is one of those red radi
cals who (ancles that the bolsheviks
have an Ideal government, we're
rather glad he's getting his. One of
the leading lights in this league is
Jeanctte Rankin, the Montana con-gresswoman-that-was,
and we dimly
recall. In the dark days before the
war, how this old girl sobbed In the
house of representatives at the time
she voted against the war resolu
tions. Her soba now over the fate
of the "redB" and her tears then
over the boya who were to be cannon
fodder have about the same value.
Another Indication that the world
is either growing better or at least
that its point of view Is changing la
seen in the report that comes from
Chicago. William Burkhart, deputy
public works commissioner, whose
duty it Is to supervise the public
parks and beaches of the Windy
City, has openly announced that
there will be no restrictions on the
styles of bathing suits. "Let your
conscience be your guide," says this
public spirited brother. And now if
other guardians of the public morale
follow suit, won't there be a roar
from the reformers.
There are two sides to this I. e til
ing suit question. It all deronds on
whether the suits are worn for
swlmm'.ng, or for exhibition pur
poses. When ono swims, clothes are
in the way. The more he wears, the
Icbs headway can a swimmer make.
Our theory is that if one of the fair
box wants to make a show of herself,
she'll do it anyway; and if she wann
to swim, nobody ought to stand in
her way. Now that the movies afe
spreading the California bathing
styles broadcast over a helpless land.
It may be that the Chicago .con
science has been hardened.
A Scottsbluff colored woman has
been given considerable prominence
in the Denver newspapers because of
a row with her son-in-law. It seems
that she went on a visit to her daugh
ter in Denver and wasn't in any
hurry to leave. She was enjoying
herself. It didn't take long for her
to wear out her welcome with her
son-in-law, however. Sometimes It
doesn't, in cases like this. But this
brother was wise. He didn't care to
enter Into any open warfare, and bo
he showed his sentiments by playing
the phonograph.
The phonograph can be an instru
ment of torture unwittingly, and
when played by a man with malice
aforethought, it sometimes ' drives
good people to murder. This son-in-law
selected one record, and played
it about forty times a day, and
heaven knows how many times at
night. The name of It was sugges
tive of the son-in-law's thoughts:
"Come After Breakfast, Bring 'Long
Tour Lunch and Leave 'Fore Supper
Time." Mother-in-law got hostile,
some hard words and harder crock
ery were passed, and when an of
ficer of the law arrived, both sides
were ready to sign a peace treaty.
But the mother-in-law will cut short
her visit. This Is the first time on
record when one of them was de
feated. This record is on sale In Al
liance, and we offer this hint free
