IN ROGER 0. MILLS STATE,

Even down in Texas there is law at
times, and very good law, too The
Lone Star State is rafting" big one.
1t has myriads Of broad acres and
brave people, and is a fast growing sec
ton of this great and glorious republic
Even the power of Judge Lynch in
Texas is abating. Now behold the
courts find in the State of belligerent
Roger @. Mills that the right of lawful
contract is right that even Texans
must respect and uphold. The United
States District court has just declared
the Texan antitrust law void because
it restricts the right of contract The
case which gave rise to this decision
was suit instituted against the STAN
dard Oil company and the officers of
that company. 1t was in itself a suit
of minor importance. but it brought up
an important question. Judge Swayne
declared the right of contract one of
the most sacred rights of liberty, guar
anteed by the constitution, and not to
be vitiated by legislative enactment
The court said also that if an ordinary
business partnership is rendered Grim
inal by this act, no further argument
! is necessary, and that this is plainly
the effect of the act when it forbids
two or more persons to unite their in
terest in sale or transportation so that
prices may be affected, as under it two
village grocers doing business at a loss
to both could not form a partnership
in order to save both from bankrupt

Tucking, in punches that lie between
smooth pleats, will be a feature of the
coming seasons shirt waists. Some
times the pleats and the tucks run the
same way, again the trucks run across
way and the pleats up and down. Ad-
Unstable white collars and cuffs are to
be worn always. Very few new ideas
are as yet ventured in collars. An ug-
ly affair with the top turned out hori-
zontally, like a little shelf has appear
ed, but it is not becoming and has a
mongrel look that is the ruin of good
taste in linen. A collar standing high
and turned over only half way down is
perhaps the newest thing. This collar
is wrapped with a stock that tucks I'M
der the double and appears below. An
effect of great height is thus secured.
A few shirt waits are offered in very
fine linen with tiny tucks across chest
and back to the bust line. These tucks
are interrupted by box pleats, one in
the center and one at either side of the
front, each about an inch and a half
across, falling straight and stif and
setting under sharply at the belt. The
rest of the shirt fits closely. At the
back the pleats lie close. The tendency
shown last year to allow the round belt
to droop d little in front and TO mount
distinctly in the center Of the back is

NOT YET,

Are LHe Gays OF battles and red
handed war, the days of slaughter, ra-
pine and carnage drawing to q close
and the days when white-winged peace
shall hover over all the nations of the
earth drawing near? The good book
tells Of time coming when swords
shall be beaten into ploughshares and
spears into pruning hooks. Is that per-
iod at hand? 1t must be confessed that
the only hopeful symptom of this
happy dream of peace apparent at the
present time is the arbitration treaty
pending between the two great Eng
fish speaking nations and there seem
to be belligerent statesmen enough in
congress to oppose this beneflcent
measure and perchance not only delay
and obstruct its adoption, but possibly
defeat it. There is little else on the
worlds horizon to indicate the decad-
enoe of the war-like spirit. There is, to
be sure, a greater hesitancy among Eu-
ropean powers to engage in fighting
the case. There are too many blood re-
lations among the princes and poten-
tates of those lands to be consulted,
and there are powerful trade and fnan-
cial, as well as family interests in the
way. War, grim visaged war, has
smoothed its wrinkled front for many
g. day as far as a first class contest
between any of the great powers OF
Europe is concerned but, nevertheless,
each and all of them depend on keeping
the peace mainly upon the maintenance
of great standing armies and formida-
BILE fleets Of warships. Take look at
the immense ornaments that have to
be sustained in order to keep peace in
Europe between the great powers, and
note the constantly increasing growth
and expense thereof In 1888 the army
and navy budgets of France Russia
Germany, Austria Hungary, Italy and
England had reached the already enor-
nous sum of $756, OOO,0 600 Ten years
later they We're 1911 200, 900, and at this
moment there are in the six nations
named at least 100000 men in active
service in the army and navy. And the
end of all this enormous outlay is not
yet. Think of what all this outlay Of
money and withdrawal of men from
agricultural and other industrial field:
entails and the oppressive burden o
taxation which results. And all this il
order to prevent these Christian ma
tions from bouncing upon each other

plications engendered and kept aliv,

which are SO entangling that none o
the Christian nations dared raise

FASHION NOTES
Fashions Above the Belt.

Bodices that are thoroughly novel
are too often so striking that their
beauty, providing they are possessed
of any. has but little chance to assert
itself because of the garments unusual
features. So the bodice pictured here
unusual of construction, but is very
pretty. 1t was made of striped silk,
pink and white predominating and was
gathered across the front, fastening
with a large rosette and silver buckle
at the shoulder. The sleeves were plain

The working of our immigration laws
Is shown in the great decrease of pas
sengers landed on these shores by the
ocean steamships during 1896. Where
as a few years ago 100000 or more
would be landed here in a twelve
month, during 1898 the number was
only 351, 573, and the decrease was most
marked in steerage passengers. Some
500 trips were made by all of the ships
during the year, the average number of
passengers being a few over 400.

People who think that they like white
pepper better than black may be sur
prised to learn that they both grow up
in the same plant. the white being the
ground seed itself, while the black is the
seed ground with it's external covering.
AS the greatest pungency is in this
covering the white pepper is not as
strong as the black, but the actual
flavor must of necessity be similar A
pepper made of the covering alone,
without the seed, would be about the
hottest stuff known and practically use
less as q condinent.
