One of the most difficult problems
that many women have to deal with, is
that of keeping themselves looking
well in the morning. The trouble with
many house gowns and dressing jack

they are not becoming around the neck
To remedy this new and pretty idea
is 20 cut a piece of muslin about the

Fads in Embroidery,

Hand decorations will play a dainty
part in the wardrobe this year pref
ty fad in handkerchefs is to buy them
with colored borders, then trace the
name in pencil. and etch it in linen
or silk to match the edge. A more
striking within of fashion, though, is
the embroidering of monograms on
gloves. The best way is to have the
gloves made TO order. with the back

then placed in the center at the back

A SERIOUS SITUATION
The Rapid Formation of Trade
Combinations.
THERE'S NO FAIR FIELD
No Equal Opportunities for the Young
Man OF To-Day-Washburn Sees
aMenace to Republican
Success.

New York, Sept. 1O.--The Tribune will
publish tomorrow an interview with
ex-senator William D. washburn, head
of extensive flour milling interests of
Minnesota, in which he says
"The present situation to the good
citizen, the good republican and the
man who loves his country is equally
alarming, and it is more largely owing
to the rapid formation of what is called
First, this trust craze has changed the
whole nature of doing things.
when l was young mani am
now 6S-I had the world before me and
there was absolutely a fair field Cor
me. Take all of our most successful
business men of to-day and their
experiences were like mine They en-
tered the race without a handicap and
their grit and capacity won. Now this
building UP of trusts puts stop to
fair and equal opportunities for The
young men of to-day.
The young man out Of college has no
opening as rule he cannot begin
business on his own account against
organized capital He must join the
procession. He must content himself
with being a mere clerk and the
chances are that he will never get any
further, because there are so many in
his class. This makes the situation a
serious one, and l am sorry for the
young man of to-day. I've studied the
situation and I'm sure of what l am
saying"
Ex-senator Washburn declared that
the almost universal DISQUALIFICATION
of trusts and the manipulation of prices
to produce exorbitant profits must
eventually result in general collapse.
He added:
There is one thing that greatly dis
turbs me. The republican party,
whether justly or unjustly, is associat-
ed with trusts in the minds of the
masses. AS a party we have reached a
crisis where we have got to call a halt.
The republican party has got to dis
connect itself from trusts. 1t has got
| to do something more than adopt plat
| form planks against trusts 1t has got
| to put forth it's full strength and leg
| islate against them. The feeling against
| the trust idea is intense in the West.
1t is so intense in the republican party
| that the party will break ranks unless
| something is done. The undertow of
sentiment in the Western republican
states against trusts is not understood
| in the East. The revolt may strike us
| as early as next year"
| Senator Washburn suggested the re-
| moval of protective duties where such
| duties are of advantage to trusts.

stopped to complete their work. The

safe with dynamite. The strong tcx
was soon blown open and the contents
taken by the thieves, who hastily de-
parted.
