"He Will Not Accent

New York World, Sept Is.
To the Worlds suggestion yesterday
that Dewey is the man for the Demo-
Gratis to nominate and for the people to
elect as president next year, two replies
are sure to be made:
1. "He will not accept
2. HE Is a Republican"
Of course we understand that Admiral
Dewey has said that he does not want
to be president and that he would not
accept a nomination. Gen. Grant said
the same at the height of his military
fame, and yet he was twice nominated,
he twice accepted, was twice elected and
sought a third term.
No American has ever refused a nomi-
nation to the presidency by one of the
great parties.
No man living can now say-not even
Dewey hirnself-that he VIII not accept
a nomination to the presidency. That he
has put aside the ggestion-knowing
that he could have it through the mere
consent Of silence-proves again that he
is a hero AS his high sense Of propriety
an Office to be sought, so his high sense
of duty will instruct him that it is not
an Office to be declined.
If it shall next year seem to be a pat
riotic duty for him to accept the presi-
dency the man who steamed into the
torpedo-strewn bay Of Manila at night
and smashed the Spanish fleet in the
morning, in discharge CT his duty, will
not fail the nation
1t is at once the opportunity and the
duty of the Democratic party to make
the nomination. If he then will not &C
cept, the party can do the next best
thing.
AS to the allegation that Admiral Dew
ey is a Republican, everything depends
upon definition. In the abstract sense
every Democrat is Republican, just as
on true Democratic ideas every Repub-
lican Is a Democrat.
But George Dewey has never cast a
Republican vote. The World has made
careful investigation of this matter, and
feels warranted in asserting that no man
can even say that Dewey ever voted or
made a political speech a partisan ut
terance. And so his general sympathies
on the politics of the past count for
nothing In view of the great new issue
that has submerged and swept away for
the time all the old questions.
| On this dominating issue Dewey is on
the side of justice, freedom and self
| government. And on this issue all true
Americans can say, as James Monroe
once declared, eve are all Democrats
We are all Republicans"
| From every point of view Dewey will
| do-Dewey is the man

o'shanter crown. Wreathing the hat
was q large black and white ostrich
feather and just underneath the hat,
placed to rest on the head was bunch
Of cerise velvet roses.
Another hat combined in the trimmings
two exquisite shades of rose pink. The
shape was patterned after the little Eng
fish round nat. The brim was Of real
CRETE, in its own soft white and brown
tints and the crowns and trimmings
were a soft crush Of rose velvet in two
shades, fastened with a cut steel link
buckle.
The bebe hat, perhaps called forth
more pleased EXPLANATIONS than any
other in the store. 1t was entirely in
black, with shirred baby crown of chif-
fon, the brim turned back from the face
and the soft shirred black stuff forming
the prettiest frame imaginable for q
ytrlish face.
A toreador turban had an almost
monumental effect with It's heavy folds
of black or castor velvet. A Linn

tique, faced with castor, was much ad-
mired The brim was edged with mink
fur and a splendid ostrich plume dropped
over the head.
A very chic affair was a French walk

trimmings of sable tails and a dropping
ostrich feather. A fold of turquoise blue
around the crown gave it dainy fin

One of the seasons novelties is the
handkerchief hat, designed for young
girls. 1t Is Of turban shape in different
fashionable colors, though the castor
shade as usual is the most popular Half
dozen taffeta handkerchief5 are used in

fly edges punched together produce an
exceedingly swagger effect.
A fiat hat with a graceful, fanciful
brim combined in it's trimming fur and
ecru lace and the effect was most ar

The ornaments used on the hats this
year deserve a whole chapter to them
selves. There are brilliant rhinestones,
cut steel, exquisite jet trifies and the
new pastel ornaments.
For early morning shopping the Cor
dons rival the quieter turbans and
they are to be found in all the shades
of grey and castor, and also In blues
and blacks, though, of course, the light

has refused to accept the award of con-
tract to construct the addition to the St

When in ST. Paul last week, Mr.. Hayes
the head Of the company, said that the
work on the extension would not be COM
menced until next spring and possibly
not until late in the summer.
Mr.. Hayes visited the quarries at St
Cloud and found that granite could be
obtained at any time, but 1t was quite
another matter when he called upon the
manufacturers of architectural iron. Nc
one Of those whom he approached was
willing to take a contract for iron to be
delivered before spring. Mr.. Hayes bid
was $4,000, the next lowest bid SIT, 000
