CELEBRATION IDEA POPULAR.
- . I
Citizens of Cordova gradually are warminy up to 11 m* idea
that a Fourth of July celebration is desirable.
All the business men in the city seem to he in favor of a
yood proyram of amusements and sports, and all that is needed :
is some small committee of public spirited men to take the mat
ter in hand and visit the citizens. They can yet the money, and
after that every thiny will be easy.
The Valdez ball team wants to come to Cordova .and Cor
dova wants them. It appears that with that as a starter the
Fourth of Jul) committee ouylit to be able to yet up a proyram t
that will prove satisfactory to all who come to Cordova for the .
Fourt h.
REFORM!
The lion wears a mane, the lioness none. This apparently
sad statement is true mainly in the animal world. But when j
one enters the realm of the human is it found that the tender j*
sex seeks sartorial adornment to enhance charm of person and
manner.
In many cases this is accomplished cjuitc tolc*linijtrly
others we are compelled to admit that the lieu pheasant, tin* .
hen quail, the peahen, or even the lioness have the ho-t ot it.
Shall the women of America standardize their street dress?
Two thousand delegates, alternates and visiting oluh members
of the thirteenth biennial convent ion of the Federation of
Women’s Clubs, answered the foregoing question in the aflir
mative at an open conference of the home economics committee
of the federation in Chicago. It was furthermore stated':
“Women shall strive for simplicity and modesty in their
dress. The ever changing styles of today are responsible for
street dresses that not only astonish, but horrify.”
“Astonish” and “horrify”—good words. Tf we had
hunted the dictionary through we could not have found better
ones, especiallv “horrifx.” \\ bite hoots to the right ot u^ and <
to the left of us, rezarie gowns on all sides of us, a thousand
other nightmares menacingly revolving around us.
“Woman’s clothing should express her philosophy ot lift'
and should Ik* the highest expression ot Iter artistic soul,’ said
one of the delegates ,who did not, to the public sorrow, under
take to detail the manner in which philosophy may be expressed
in dress goods by the* yard, feathers, parasols and artificial
vegetables. As to the “artistic soul,” it looks lovely in print,
but the main idea is speedy reform.
“A standardized street dress for women, on a par with the
conventional sack suit of the men, would not only make Ameri
can women more dignified in appearance and deportment, hut
would reduce h**r dress hills by one halt,” said one delegate.
Thai’s the idea, and now, sisters, yon may add it you want
to, “It should he simple, hut expressive of honesty and courage,
typical of womankind.”—Tacoma News.

Kvidentlv just now some difficulty is lieiuur exjx*rienced in
finding soiik* manner l>y which file lots iti the government tract
will pay taxes after the auction sale. The buyers cannot get
deeds to the lots until the full payment is made and until the
deeds are secured they are not liable to taxation. All this is
very peculiar in a country when* the government and the peo
ple are supposed to be svnnoymous terms. Kven in making
sidewalks here in Seward between Fourth and Fifth avenues
you cannot tax I nolo Sam although lie has the biggest building
in town right there. < )f course there was some reason tor these
laws exempting the government trom taxation. Frobabl\ it
one paused for two moments to think several reasons might he
discovered, hut .just on the surface it looks queer that while in
dividuals pay taxes their government does not. One little
thought that comes from all this is that although governments .
may be by ,with, of, for, in, through the people, the people arej
only considered' while casting votes as a rule. And in saving,
this there is no attack on democratic government. It is abso
lutely necessary that a government should have some indepen-l
deuce of public opinion after having been chosen. Neither the
city council of Seward nor the cabinet of Woodrow Wilson
could afford to have interference from the people when the
work is being done for which either was selected, but still the
fact remains that the most democratic government in the world
is, except during election times, as autocratic as the most auto
cratic in several respects. In spite ot all this the people of a
democratic country have the glorious privilege of the section
boss of immortal memory who ordered the gang to take off the
car and put it on and take it off again just to show who was
boss. And yet the gang had' to [lump finally to keep the car
going.—Seward Gateway.
