The Lebanon Register is crOwding
Brother Mcdowell a little too close
on the political attitude and latitude
of his candidate for governor. The
Register must tote fair in this bust
ness if it has any arguments to
make on the subject, let it make
them, but it won't do to Gull various
paragraphs from Brother McDowell's
own paper and quote them back on
him for reconciliation without com
ment. That is not fair. Wait until
the Toiler gets out Republican can
didate to run against its Democrat ;
then you will be able to see how con-
sistently those paragraphs can stand
up and fight each other.

to That Cause.

Topeka, Kan, March 10s-A mass
convention was held last night in Repre-
sentative hall in tine interest of a re-sub-
mission of the prohibition law of this
state. There was large attendance of
men of all parties.
Senator o. H. Bentley, of Wichita, a
prominent Republican, delivered the
principal address, declaring that prohi-
ton in this state had been a complete
failrue. He submitted statistics to show
that the population of the state had de-
creased in the last two years, and
ascribed the fact to prohibition.
j. w. Steen, of Kingman, said the
people were tired of the Prohibition
farce, which had depleted the treasures
of the cities and towns and caused bust

COMBINATIONS ~ WALLPAPERS.


The walls Of house the smooth. upright sur
faces that support ceiling and roof Their impression
Of stability well rs their function as background
to furniture etc. ought be properly expressed In
their decoration. The ancients as observed in the
wall decorations Of Pompe and elsewhere character
lied the wall In lower, intermediate and upper parts,
called dado, wall and frieze respectively The pro
portions were dado one, wall space three and rczc
one and half More properly, think. the dado
should be one and half, the wall space three and
the freEe one as the base Of the wall is even more
important arctecurally than the eze since it bears
the weight OF all. Here then the wall striving up
ward opposes the burden lying upon it--exerts It's
mirsble 70 emphasize or symbolic tic various
parts OF the wall distinguishing the lower part with
heavy design and earnest color the middle part Of the
wall proper with lighter decoration the upper part
ezc, with the freest design and the br gtest and
most shining cO0rs. In this way we bring the wall
into harmony with the pillar column in architecture,
whose proportionatc comp0nents are base shaft and
capital We may In fact. consider the wall as pillar
unroed for this truly Its purpose or function. 1t Is
a pillar transformed Into nat surface SO wide and
alsnrrounding as to become background well as
plara double purpose which be expressed IN its
decoration Nowadays the traditional PROPORTIONS Of
vogue Walls are frequently simply covered from
floor to ceiling with tho unvarying pattern. IN
other cases wide freze Is added without dado. and
again dados of all degrees of elevation used with
wall space and freiEes
