The Shirt Waist Set.

Quite the latest thing in fashions
whirl is the shirt waist set. The shirt
waist, with hat to match, is no novelty,
but the shirt waist set is comparatively
new. 1t consists of four pieces-the
hat, the stock, the belt and the umbrel-
la. A fashionable woman Of the east
end Wore a few days ago a gown Of
dark brown. 1t was an uneventful
gown except for the 'set'' which went
with it. This set, in tomato red, was
charming in setting off the costume.
The hat, all in tomato red panne and
scarlet tips, was supplemented by a
stock of tomato colored silk, which in
turn was made noticeable by a belt Of
tomato red satin lined with black silk
velvet put III in rows. And all we're set
off by a red umbrella of regulation rain
size. gg
The brown gown was in two parts, q
shirt waist and a skirt. The shirt waist
was tucked in front and buttoned in
the back. The skirt had tucked hips
and q fare skirt.

Judging from the number of tariff

it applies to the country at large, none

MINER is

The Butte Miner takes a rather
p~essimistic view Of the situation
brought about by the conference Of
governors recently held at Helena. II
processes to see the possibility Of
great injury to the state because, a.:
the Miner says, il has been made the
''storm center of litigation against
capital invested within the limits ot
this and other states.' Just how the
Miner makes Montana the "storm cen
ter is not so very apparent. The lit
igation which it sees fit to deplore is
not to be instituted in this state
neither can it be said that it is the re
suit of what was done at Helena. Be
fore he anne here Governor Van SAINT
of Minnesota had decided upon ths
steps he intended to pursue and mis-
request for a conference was merely
to ascertain the sentiment of his con.
ferees. Long before coming to Mon.
tana he had given it out that he in
tended to fight the merger in the
courts and had Instructed his attorney
general to that effect. He merely
wished to receive the moral support
of the governors of the adjoining and
interested states. This he has as.
is with him, and he enters
upon his battle with a sentimental
advantage only, N ~
The Miners attempt to make politi-
cal capital for it's party out of the
matter is a decidedly weak effort. To
hold the republican party responsible
for the existence of trusts comes with
poor grace from a newspaper repre-
senting the party which defeated the
effort of the republicans for a consti-
tutional amendment intended to make
impossible such combinations of cap
ital. When the issue was squarely
put before them the democrats stulti-
fed themselves and disregarding all
their professions and protestations
voted against the only which
promised relief.
If the relief which it processes to
believe can be obtained by legisla-
ton is so easy of acquisition why
then did not it's party give the nation
some of it. 1t was in power twice at
Washington and in this state repeat
eddy, in the latter no longer ago than
last winter, but if any trust effacing
legislation of democratic origin can
be found on the statutes of either the
United States or the state of Montana
nobody has as yet been able to find
it. The only law national in it's scope
calculated to check and control trusts
that finds place on the statutes of the
country was framed by a republican
and passed by a republican congress.
While pretending to be against
trusts and harmful combinations of
capital of all kinds, or combinations
believed to be SO, the Miner is opposed
to the institution of any legal pro-
ceedings calculated to establish their
status or define their rights under the
law. Should the decisions be in favor
OF the defendants in the proposed lit
igation, the Miner says it will only
entrench the trust system legally and
its elimination would become all the
harder task. If, on the other hand,
that same litigation should result in
preventing the merger it would be
only a partial victory for the people,
says the Miner, for it would have to
do with only one phase of the trust
system.
