WOMEN LOOK LIKE A CROSS
BETWEEN CAMEL AND KANGAROO.
Straight Front. Rear Elevation, Back
Action Skirt.

Over the signature Of "Decency'
some New Yorker complains in the
Sun of the present style of close fit
ting gowns worn by fashionable
momen, saying:
The fact is that women must know.
do well know, that they are forcing on
attention, not only their natural
form which fashion so far might be
defensible) but in multitudes Of in
stances an extreme and artificial exag-
geration Of the peculiarities Of that
form by means that can be seer in
some shop windows and are indicated
in many women in the streets-inevit-
ably suggestive and often ridiculous.
1t is shameless. And they further ex-
aggerate their real or artificial basal
anatomy by the backward hand pulling
up and sidewise the absurdly long,
dust-gathering skirt.
The writer's artistic sense seems to
be shocked even more than his mod
esty. No n appears able to account
for the origin Of the various silly fash
ions that from time to time afflict
women-and the men likewise for that
matter. But of all the absurd and
ridiculous distortions Of the feminine
form the present "straight-front," rear
elevation. back-action-sk effect is
perhaps the worst t~ravesty on nature.
1t makes the average woman look like
a cross between a camel and a kan
CARGO.

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
Something New Under the Sun"

All Doctors have tried to cure CA
TARRH by the use of powders, acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste form.
Their powders dry up the mucuous

used in the inhalers have entirely eaten
away the same membrane that their
makers have aimed to cure, while
pastes and ointments cannot reach the
disease. An old and experienced prac-
titioner who has for many years made
a close study and speciality of the treat
ment of cATARRH, has at last per-
fected a Treatment which when faith

discharges, and curing all inflammation.

BUSINESS SENSE.

In the determination of the Board Of

tracts Tor lighting the public buildings
on a business basis is the assurance
that municipal generating plant for
these structures has not been forgotten.
: New contracts will be made with the
lighting companies whereby the city
viii pay on the same footing as other
large business concerns. The city will
have the privilege Of continuing or dis
continuing the service as 1t pleases, and
own the wires and fixtures, thus re-
moving an element of risk that has
hitherto raised the price Of the lights.
There win be no difficulty in having
the city's own lighting installed at the

when the present contract with the
private companies ceases. By renewing
the contracts for lighting the other pub

SYNDICATE SOLDIERS.

One of the most picturesque develop
ments now promised by the syndicate
quarrel and possible war over the own
ership of the Feiicidad asphalt mines in
Venezuela Is that Of new figure in our
national life-the American syndicate
soldier Of fortune.
We are told In the cable and tele-
graphic news that young Americans
who have seen active service in our re-
cent wars or who have received any
notable degree Of military training are
In great demand MS employees at these
mines. Three of the West Point cadets
recently expelled for INSTRUMENTATION
have, 1t is said, been hired to assume
command Of the forces of one of the
ciashing syndicates, Several members
OF the First Colorado Infantry, which
served in the Philippines, are also re-
ported to have been engaged, together
with their old reglmental commander,
Colonel Cassius NJ. Moses. These men
are expected to fight. not to work in the
Mines
The American soldier of fortune, bat
Ting for private commercial interests,
has never before been seen in history.
There was q time, Immediately follow
ing the close of our Civil War, when
certain ex-officers Of the Confederate
army sought service under the flags Of
foreign Governments, but this was a
different matter. They were following
the profession of arms in legitimate
manner, even though not fighting for
their own flag as best belts a soldier.
Martial glory was still possible to them.
Advancement in arms was still the
promise Of their future. This promise
is not contained In the war" now pend
Ing In Venezuela. That conflict is n
commercial war pure and simple, with
hired fighters whose only incentives
must be the pure love of fighting and
the pay offered for fighting.
Syndicate soldiers are not pleasant
American figures to contemplate. The
young Americans taking service In vene-
zuela are brave and adventurous fell
lows. but their appearance in history
has a sinister Significance. The syndi-
Gates employing them are little different
from the Robber Barons Of old, who
similarly hired professional fighting men
for their wars Of conquest and loot. The
development is not in keeping with
American tradition and is utterly hos
dle to the true American spirit

CUBA ON TRIAL

There should .ibe an interesting ex-
position Of Cuban intelligence and
worthiness Of national independence in
the debates and final action Of the
Cuban Constitutional Convention on GER
tain important problems Of self govern
ment coming before that body this
week.
The form of election law to be
adopted is one Of the most momentous
of these problems. The character Of the
Republic to be established, whether a
strongly centralized Federal Govern
ment or one allowing the greatest pos
eible amount of home rule to the
Provinces and municipalities, is another.
The final authoritative decision on the
proposition for the granting Of univer>
sal suffrage is a third. These are in
deed vital issues as affecting the future
Of free and Independent nation.
The spirit in which the Cuban Consti-
tutional Convention approach and dis
pose Of these problems will definitely
indicate the national capacity for self
government. The convention has
reached the most important stage Of its
history. Its proceedings from this date
forward deserve the closest attention of
oil who are interested in so grand an en-
terprise as the establishment of new
free government In the world of to-day,

THROW OFF THE CLOAK.


There has never yet been in any anti
Democratic paper Il fair discussion Of
the Missouri election law. An example
OF the abandoned partisanship Of the
great fraud issue" discloses itself IN
the continued abuse Of the recent Su-
preme Court decision as IL 1t were a
consequence Of the "Nesbit" law.
Many times 1t has been made plain
that the Supreme Court decision had
nothing to do with the Nesbit law, but
simply construed old provisions Of the
election statutes. Moreover, it has been
made plain that the Supreme Court
could not have rendered u different decl-
sion without utterly destroying the
fundamental principle Of secrecy Of the
ballot. If on any claim of a defeated
candidate the ballots could be compared
with the voting lists. party machine
could always check up the vote of every
man in st. Louis.
There are some men who do not be-
lieve in secret ballot. If the Republic
an party, as the agent of trusts and
magnates. wishes to put an end to Sc
crecy, why not make the issue distinct
ly? Why not contend that the poor man
should be compelled to vote openly and
bear the consequences Of the enmities
he may bring upon himself? Is the Re-
publican party going to labor for a
change in the Missouri Constitution and
statutes under which every voter must
publish to the world his ticket?
Let the people know what the Re
publican party in Missouri means by its
"Nesbit' law bowls. Maybe the real
Republican object Of attack is not the
Aesoit law, but the secret ballot.

THE FOURTH OBSERVED.

st. Louis had Fourth Of July cele-
bation Of the right sort yesterday. Not
Tor yean has such q thoroughly old
faahioned and patriotic commemoration
Of the nations birth been held In this
city. It was almost q resurrection of
the days when the Fourth OF July was
the day Of the year for both young and
OLD -
In the morning the parade through the
downtown streets was surprisingly
largo Every element Of the nations
diverse character was represented In the
collection Of military forces, societies,
athletic associations and secret orders
The marches Of the many bands the
regaiia. the hags and banners. the
vehicles and the girls in the floats a,l
made q moving picture recalling the old.
time Fourth.
In the afternoon another feature of
The celebration, delightfully."- reminiscent
OF those gatherings in the groves of the
country. consisted Of the reading Of til.
almost forgotten Declaration of indie.
pendence, In patriotic songs and speecb.
g In harmony with the spirit of the
day. The great crowds that listened n
tnese exercises amply testified to the
popularity attending the old-fashioned
method Of recalling the past history and
tine present dangers Of the Republic.
The day had the three essentials OF q
sourth-s parade, speeehmakingj and
nreworks. Everything was on q biz
scale. In contrast with the small cele
ofstlons OF previous years, yesterday
was especially noteworthy. Outbursts
o. patriotism and fitting commemora
uons are not 30 frequent in this countr,
that st. Louis can afford to neglect CON
ordinations to itself for the success OF
yesterdays celebration.
