RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION
‘‘So you want a divorce, do

‘‘Yes, sir. I've stood just about
all 1 can. My wife’s turned suf
fragette nad she is never at

‘‘It is a pretty serious thing to
break up a family, you know.
Don’t you think you had better
try to make the best of it for a

ing fad.”
‘‘That’s what 1 have beeu
doing, but there are some things
a man ean’t stand. I don’t mind
the cooking and I haven't kick
ed on washing the dishes, but 1
do draw the line at run'ning
pink ribbons in my nightshirt to
try to fool the children.” —
| From ‘‘Success Magazine.’’]
TRYING M SENATE,
Senator LaFolette’s resolution
for a reopening of the Lorimer
case is turned ov< r to the mer
cies of tlie committee on contin
get expenses. This committee
consists of Senators Briggs of
New -Jersey, chairman; Dilling
ham of Vermont, Bristow of Kan
sas, Clarke of Arkansas and Wil
liams of Mississippi.
In the vote on the Lorimer case
at the end of the last session
Briggs and Dillingham voted for
Lorimer, Clarke and Bristow
against him. This gives the de
ciding vote in the committee to
John Sharp Williams, a conserv
ative democrat and former house
deinoeratis leader, who is a new
comer in the senate.
The Lorimer case is reaching
a point, however, where it is
passing beyond the reach of the
senate. With the Lorimer peo
ple in Illinois reduced to the ne
cessity of suppressing records
by habeas corpus proceedings, it
is the United States senate, ra
ther than Lorimer, that goes on
trial. And a body that does not
ask committees for instructions
will do the trying, towit, Ameri
can public opinion.
Whether the senate thinks Lo
rimer and his political methods
are after its own heart is mere
ly an incident to the larger ques
tion beyond. If the senate be
lieves Lorimer good enough for
it, then the question becomes
acutely this: Is the senate good
enough for us? State Journal.
IHElDISTRICT • •
^ ^FEDERATION

gates gathered at the church and

THE SCHOOL EXHIBIT
The school exhibit is ready for
inspection. The walls of the
large 81h grade room in Central
building are covered from floor
border with art work and miscel
laneous school work mounted on
cords 22x28 inches. A very
I leasing effect is secured by the
use of light gray mounting board.
Heginning at the south-west cor
ner of the room, the art work,
arranged in order of grades from
Kindergarden to 81 h, covers all
of the west and north walls. A
beautiful border made by the
Kindergarten and 1st grade at
Harlan extends the entire length
of these two walls. The border
is in three sections; 1st: two
little t<'ls in white with candle,
retiring; 2nd: the Easter mbbit;
3rd.: Cupid with his bow. The
figures of the border are cut in
white paper and mounted on
green.
Various forms of construction
and industrial work cover the
south and east walls; while much
material that could not find room
on the walls is placed on tables.
The room is well lighted
both for the daytime and the
evening. The exhibit is worth
seeing even by those not person
ally interested in the schools.
Open Thursday evening 7 to
10 o’clock, and Friday from 2 to
C p. m.
THE COWBOY, INDIAN AND
THE LADY.
The tent show, “The Cowboy,
Indian and the Lady,” last even
ing drew a fair sized crowd, and
seemed to give satisfaction. The
acting of the old maid, “A lady,
born and bred,” was the best
feature, and while the remainder
[ of the east was not exceptionally
strong, it was up to that of the
average tent show.

GLOBE SIGHTS
Considering that ‘‘to him that
hath shall be given,” the under
dog gets a lot of consideration.
Another very human frailty is
to be proud of things which
cause shame.
A limiting your guilt after it
is proven, is a form of honesty
that won’t help you much.
If married people are nice to
each other in public it is sure
to be said that they fight at
home.
While honesty is the best poli
cy, it may be all right to lie oc
casionally to keep out of anar
gument.
If you need a few drinks to
make you feel cheerful, you had

While the corset may help ap
pearances in some respects, it
|can’t do anything for a double

A good many white men are
Indians enough to catch the fish
and make wives dress them,
i It seems rather difficult for
the average man to remember a
jpgirl and anything else at the
same time.
If a man lives in fear of be
| mg found out, that is pretty apt
| to happen to him before he gets
through.
Sometimes a man marries an
heiress and finds about all she
inherited was her father’s mean
dispos'd ion.
If a woman really loves a man,
the fact that lie doesn’t amount
to anything never bothers her
for a moment.
The only thing to he said in
favor of a twenty-four hour au
tomobile race is that it doesn't
last six days.
The man who does not have a
good time on a vacation is liable
to he a pretty valuable man to
his employer.
When there is no other way
to attract attention, a man can
be the first one in town to put
