Al conspicuous feature of the summer
girls wardrobe is the quaint little bertha
very much like those which the bellies of
General Washington's day used to wear
with their thin tarlatan muslin frechs
over a century ago. These berthas arg
made of light figured silk, grass linen,
dotted swiss nj ergandie, trimmed with
narrow ruffles. Very often the ruffles are
made more beautiful by the addition of
frills of lace and narrow ribbon sewed
upon them. Some of these dress decora-
tions look like regafias, or lodge decor
ations. When the long tabs come down
below the packet the effect is odd, but
extremely fetching.

These founees are set on about three
inches above the foot of the skirt, reach

where they are rounded off, and follow
the seam on either side of the waist line.

ment to begin with, but their concil-
iatory attitude was ignored and they
were, with brutal imperiousness, call
ed upon to surrender without question
to the purchased authority and. domin-
ion of the United States over their en-
tire archipelago without assurance as
to our intentions or as to whether they
would be treated as free men or slaves.
The wise and humane policy which
Gen. Funstan recommends at this late
day was the precise policy of Admiral
Dewey, who at once recognized the in
dependent government of the Fill
pinos. But this truly American and
just policy was reversed by orders
from Washington-and the same ord
ers relieved Dewey of command of the
situation, giving it to the present in
competent henchman of the admins
tration, Otis, through whom was in
augurated the present imperial policy
Of grab and plumber, which the adj
ministration adopted at the behest OF
Wall street millionaire spectators,
and which has resulted in the present
ignominous disaster.

MAYBE THE CENSOR wASIN WASH
INGTON TOO.

The New York Herald, independent
Republican and straight-out imperial
list, voices suspicion that is decided
ly interesting.
Of course, Otiss censor in the Phil
ippines emasculated the reports of the
situation made by the representatives
of the press to their papers in the
United States and thus grossly de-
ceived the American people as to the
true state of affairs in the islands.
But did Otis also deceive the ad-
ministration at Washington?
This is an interesting question. AS
our New York contemporary asks,
were the optimistic dispatches made
public in Washington as coming from
Otis really received from him as is
sued or were they excised and altered
before being given to the public? Ha..
Otis deceived the administration by
persistently cabling that the situation
was well in hand; that the rebel forces
were disintegrating. and that thirty
thousand men would suffice to uuell
the instruction? Or has Otis cabled
the truth to his superiors in Wash
ington, and have the latter suppressed
it and given out the ultra optimistic
statements with General Cts name
attached? Whether the President is
fooled by his subordinate in the field
Or is himself trying to fool the Amsri-

Persistent advertising
Brings Success.
WHO'LL HEAD OFF FUNsrAN?

Hey, there Mr. McKinley-or Han
na!-or any old body! There's more
treason in the air. And it comes from
a more dangerous source this time
than Mr. Atkinson, of Boston, for it
in a letter written by Gen. Funstan,
of Kansas, and Gen. Funstan won his
title by extraordinary herosm in the
Philippines and is, so to speak, a
popular idol. When popular and pa
triotic idols right fresh from the field
Of glory begin talking treason, it is high
time for Mr.. Mckinley to stand from
under or buy treason-proof awning
for his second term boom.
Yet rampant treason is what Gen.
Funstan is guilty of, according to the
Interpretation of the term by admin
istration organs.
Listen to this, will you, in letter
written by Gen. Funstan:
STRANGE AS 1T MAY SEEM, 1 AM
ALMOST A 'PEACE-AT-ANY-PRI
MAN. WHEN LIFE AND PROPERTY
CAN BE SAVED, IT is ALMOST A
CRIME NOT TO FOLLOW THAT RULE,
WHATEVER THE CIRCUMSTANCES
BE ARGUING AGAINST IT. AM A
REPUBLICAN, BUT AM AN ANTI-EX-
PANSIONIST, THOUGH NOT A BIT
TER ONE. BIG SYNDICATES AND CAP
ITALISTS WILL BE GREATLY BENZ
FITTED BY THE RETENTION OF
THESE ISLANDS, BUT OUTSIDE OF A
FEW EXCEPTIONAL INDIVIDUAL

IN THEIR POSSESSION BY THE
UNITED STATES. THE ISLANDS Al t,
SO TH1CKLY POPULATED AND La
Dor SO CHEAP THERE CERTAINLY
is NO INDICTMENT FOR THE AMER
ICAN LABORER.'
Here's rip, roaring, rampant TREA-
SON for you!
Did you ever hear the like-except
possibly from Iewey-and it is from
the pen of the II est popular-and de-
servedly so-military hero the Philip
pines war has produced! And he is
or was at the last election-a Re-
publican in politics.
Gen. Funstan comes from way out
in Kansas but he knows a thing or
two about the Philippines and he adj
mits that in the present war the ad-
ministration at Washington, which,
alone, is responsible for it, is simply
lavishing blood and treasure "for big
syndicates and capitalists who will,
if the war is successful coin the blood
of our troops into millions for their
own pockets. Labor's share will be
to do the fighting and pay the taxes.
Gen. Funstan advises that now
there should be less gunpowder and
more diplomacy" He thinks we can
win their (the Filipinos0 confidence
by some concessions and assurances
that we would give them a representa-
tive government as free and liberal as
any government on earth to-day
But alas the time for such wise
policy has passed. 1t would be a re-
cantation and a confession of fail
ure which the administration will
hardly make. These things are
all the Filipinos asked of our govern

WEST VIRGINIA AT THE NATIONAL
EXPORT EI-POslCION.

Philadelphia has been selected as the
place of the National Export Exposition
to be held next fall for the advance
ment of American manufacturers and
the extension of our export trade.
Every line of American manufactures
or products that are or may be ex-
ported are to be placed on exhibition.
Chambers of Commerce and CONNER
cial organizations the world over will
be represented and the farreaching i'm
portance of the exposition to the mater
ial advancement of our country's trade
abroad will be at once apparent.
There is no State more interested in
this exhibit than West Virginia, for
there is no State in the union, except
Pennsylvania, that can equal West Vir-
ginia in the matter of her coal and coke
product, while none can equal her in
timber, oil and gas, to say nothing of
ginia. 1t goes without saying that West
Virginia cannot afford not to be repre-
sented at this exposition where what
we have to sell the world abroad, which
must furnish a large portion of our
future market, will be displayed to rep
resentatives of the worlds trade, to say
nothing of that OF the United States.
OF course, every business man knows
that this exhibit of The States products
cannot be made without funds. In this
connection Commissioner E. Tracy To-
bin, for West Virginia, has asked the
Register to start a popular subscription
through its columns toward defraying
the expenses of the West Virginia ex-
hibit. The sum necessary to make the
States exhibit a success is not large
between $4,000 and $4,000. The appeal
is made to our State pride as we'll as on
account of the material good that will
inure to West Virginia and her people
through a comprehensive exhibit of ner
industries.
Subscriptions may be made to the
Register, which will acknowledge and
forward the same, or direct to E. Tracy
