Why They Don't Do It.

About every other day the REFLECTOR
skins the alliance candidates and hangs
their hide on the fence to dry, Now If the
Monitor does not take the fight up and skin
the republicans 1t ought TO be booted -
Dickinson County News.
There are several reasons why the
Monitor does not undertake any such
thing, One is because the republican
candidates in contradistinction to the
to the peoples party's standard bearers
are capable and unassailable men.
Their records are ones to be proud of
and no man can say he is ashamed"
of his ticket as the peoples party
ties do frequently. Another reason is
that the Monitor crowd hasn't enough
brains to write four line paragraph
and has thus far in the campaign failed
to produce single argument for the
party it represents. The editors chief
business has been putting themselves
and inserting typographical errors into
gray" country correspondence.

Not Ashamed of It.

Actually and honestly we are
ashamed of our conglomorated state
ticket said democrat of Abilene to-
day. There is good reason why they
should be. On the other hand the re-
publicans are not ashamed of their list
of candidates. Everyone is a clean,
open hearted, upright gentleman cap
able of fulfilling the duties of his Office
satisfactorily and well. We are proud
Of our ticket and the men on it.

First District Politics.

The Racine correspondent of TIE
Sentinel in last Sundays issue makes
the following comments upon Repub-
lican politics in this district:
"Interest is already being shown in
the congressional contest in this district
and various opinions are expressed as
to the probability of Congressman Cas-
we'll being given another term. 1t is
quite probable that the lake shore coun-
ties will present candidate, but the
Hon. H. A. Cooper, of this city, who
has been mentioned as a strong and
probable opponent of Mr.. Caswell, says
most emphatically that he has not even
intimated that he was a candidate for
the congressional nomination.; he had
been too much occupied with business
matters, he added, to NEEDLE with poll
tics. Senator Cooper LAS many admir-
ers who think he is well qualified to fill
a seat in congress and they only wait
for him to express desire to secure
the nomination, when they will do
their utmost to have him nominated.
It is, of course, true that that portion
of Caswells constituents in the First
district, known as the lake shore por-
ton. have long desired man to repre-
sent them and look after their inter
ests, who himself was a lake shore
resident. The talk that Mr.. Caswell
would be showed under in this county,
in the event that he should receive the
| nomination, is mere idle talk from a
few disappointed politicians. His
| course in the postoffice fight may have
| alienated some voters, but his appoint
ment on the whole gave pretty general
satisfaction Another thing which will
go far to help Mr.. Caswel's election is
the promising outlook for the S100, 900
public building at Racine, for which
| he has labored so hard. The Bennett
| law, which the Democrats confidently
| expect will elect their ticket will sure
ly prove boomerang to them"

There's a corset that isn't
a corset, a waist with straps
for the shoulders and rows
of buttons to button on
skirts and stocking supporters
and SO forth-the Ball Waist
and that's about the whole
of it. No; you can put it
in the washtub-no metal in
it or on it.
1t is worth your seeing, if
for nothing but how to sew
on buttons.to button easy and
never come off, and how to
make buttonholes wear for
ever.
Women differ in their ways
of thinking and dressing as
we'll as in other ways. This
waist is for women whose
minds are made up that they
won't wear corsets.
There's much to be said
on both sides; but did you
ever hear of a woman who
hadn't made up her mind in
some way? and is there any
possible use in trying to get
her to change it? She will
and she will ; or she won't
and she won't.
You can get the Ball
Waist and wear it a week or
two or three; and, if you
don't want it, take it back to
the store and get your money.

that plural marriages have been solemnixed

President Woodruff further says that
inasmuch IS the laws forbidding polygamy

his intention to submit to those laws and
use his influence with the members Of the
church to have them do likewise. There
is nothing in his teaching or that Of his

which can reasonably be construed to in
cuicate or encourage polygamy. and when
any elder has used language which ap-

WASHINGTON CIrY, Sept. 24-[SpeciaL l.
By . vote Of five to four the House COM
mittee on judiciary today decided to make
favorable report on the Senate bill for
forfeiture Of the property Of the Mormon
church. The bill Was introduced to carry
out the decision of the supreme court OF
the United States, delivered just before the
adjournment Of its last session. The bill
passed the Senate, and after it had reached
the House committee on judiciary, hear
ings were given to representatives Of the
Mormon church in opposition to the
measure. There is no probability Of pas
sage of the bill by the House this session.
