The Critics Are siIeneed.

When President Roosevelt appoint
ed Knox attorney general, there was
a great outcry among Democrats about
the appointment because Knox was a
distinguished corporation lawyer. No
doubt he was hired by the corporations
on account of his great ability. For
the same reason the president appoint
ed him attorney general. Since he has
undertaken the fight against the rail-
road mergers and the beef trust, the
guns of the opposition have been ST.
fenced. Let it be remembered that all
antitrust laws have been passed by
. Republican congress and all efforts
to enforce such laws have been made

To Senator Fairbanks belongs the
honor OF introducing in the senate a
resolution making an appropriation for
the relief of the people of the devastat-
ed Island of Martinique within a few
hours after the extent of the disaster
at st. Pierre became known. This res
olution would have passed both houses
or congress the same day but for the
objection of Representative Under
wood of Alabama, who insisted that
congress should await official infor-
nation" before going to the relief of
homeless and starving peor'a. Of the
Fairbanks resolution, which was steer
ed through the house by Representa-
tive Hemenway, the Gaulois of Paris,
said; of all friendly manifestations,
the most brilliant and the most touch
ing are certainly those of the United
States. The great people beyond the
ocean have again proved that feelings
of humanity and generosity are among
the NOBLE qualities upon which they
pride themselves This fine example
foundly, and we are happy to note it
in this unforgettable circumstance"

tration of state affairs is of vital con-
Germ to the citizen and should not be
lost sight of, even in the excitement
of a campaign conducted on national
lines. Good government ought to be-
gin at home. In the management of
the affairs of the state of Indiana a
series of four Republican legislatures
has made a record for honesty, wis
dom and economy unexcelled in the
legislative annals of this or any other
state. The people of Indiana are not
ready to reverse policy which has
been of such signal benefit to the COM
monwealth.
Nothing better indicates the pros
rerity of the people than the patronage
accorded to the newspaper When
Hard Times comes to community the
first place he hunts up is the news
paper office. There is significance in
the fact that despite four years of ex-
ceedingly hard shedding" for Indiana
publishers during the decade ending
with 1900, there are now nearly twice
as many wage-earners employed in
the printing and publication of news
papers and periodicals in this state
as there were in 1890. In 1890, 2,62S
persons we're employed in this indus

invested in the business $3,5S9,513;

Senator Dolliver expressed in few
words the attitude of Republican lead
ership toward the Philippine problem
when he said recently: 1.-THE time
may come when we will in sheer ex-
haustion abandon our work in the
Philippine Islands. Our burdens have
been grievous, and sometimes | have
thought they have been almost too
heavy to be borne; but if the time ever
comes for us to go, our retreat will
be taken up in an orderly way and it
will not be conducted by the men who

4ay g1auou Discusses Fashionable Fu1 and Neck Fixngs

Not alone do they make a most gorgeous
showing. they mean genuine warmth as
well. Even the smartest of tailored jack
cts would be ample so supplemented and
we shall see many charming costumes as
result. If the day be cold these stoles
can be drawn close over the shoulders
and above the throat If it be mild they
can be slipped down and worn after the
manner of a bertha, so making a most
effective and elegant finish to the gown
as we'll as a most becoming one. Few
women fail to look well with drapery
arranged about the shoulders. These
exquisite stole capes of soft fur allow Of
wearing after a manner that Is at once
graceful. elegant and comforta BILE.
Shorter neck scarfs also are In stole
shape. but show variety in style never
theless. In some instances they are
simply stoles lying fiat round the neck,
in others they are tiny capes with
storm collars elongated to form stole
ends. These ends and stoles vary in
length from those that fall to the knees
to those which terminate above the
waist line. Some. notably those of chin
chilla and ermine, are finished with a
fringe of silk cords and tassels of fur.
others again show tails. but as with the
longer sort the newest and smartest are
plain Round boas are seen in the lonS
haired bear, fox and Alaska sable. but
are not new and lack the distinction OF
the stoles.
Motor coats are everything that well
can be imagined. Apparently protection
against cold aid wind has been the first
thought, Tor uniformly they are in
three-quarter length and volun1inous,

equally effective worn open or closed.
Carriage and evening wraps are #luxu-
rious in the extreme. Many of them are
all of fur. silk lined, but others again
are Of cloth combined with fur and are
modelled on Oriental lines. Both the
Kimono Of Japan and the Mandarin coat
of China are made to serve as models,
and both appear In modified forms. The
favorite material is cloth. white or pale
biscuit or tan shades, with fur as lining
or accessories. Capes gre no longer worn
to any extent, and these loose ample
wraps appear to take their place more
satisfactorily titan any other models
known. White cloth with erlnine or
chinchilla trimmings is handsome, and
is much in vogue. Lace, embroidery,
passementerie, and the inevitable drops
appear. Oriental needlework is much
liked and has a special fitness on the
Oriental cloaks. but all sorts appear.
Lavish trimming is the rule. Simplicity
is lost to sight. If not buried forever.
Short, loose box-coats Of fur, chinchilla,
erInine and squirrel will be worn by
young girls as evening wraps and are
assuredly exquisite as well as warm. but
the longer models prevail To be ideal
for the purpose the wrap worn en- route
to the opera and the dance must pro-
tect the gown as we'll as provide warmth
for it's wearer. Inasmuct as short coats
leave all the skirt exposed, they do not
quite fulfill the requirements, but young
girls find them allurins in spite of that
fact.
The smaller, minor accessories of fur
are more exquisitely beautiful than ever
before and AFFORD wide range of choice.
N1uffs are preferably soft. fiat and wide,

give a curved effect. But while this Is
true. the round model Of generous size
is always correct and will be carried by
numberIess women. Sable is superb, but a
sable muff of fine skins means a thou
sand dollars, and consequently, to one
such hundreds Of less costly fur will be
seen. Chinchilla is always soft, tempt
ing, caressing to the touch, and is much
liked. Fox and lynx are to be much
used Persian lamb, broadta1l and seal
are exceedingly handsome. but nothing
is better or more satisfactory than mink.
and, in the finer skins. it often makes
almost as rich an effect as sable. All the
martens are used, as is silver fox, by the
few who can afford it's ever increa sing
price. Squirrel is the novelty and is
shown in all the new shapes.
Neck wraps have taken on new glory
and are in stole shape with long ends
that hang nearly to the feet. In many
instances the nerk portion becomes a
small cape and fits the shoulders snug
ly and perfectly. The ends are from
tive to six inches wide and quite fiat.
Some are finished with tails. but others
again, and to my eye the snlartest, are
simply broadened slightly at the ends
and left plain. Those of squirrel are
charming. The gray is soft and beconS
ing, the skin is piabe and the hairs rest
caressingly against the skin. at the
moment their price is big enough to give
no anxiety on the score of over-use, but
the season has barely opened as yet.
We will be in better position to judge
of their smartness three months hence.
The mink stoles and the stoles Of err
mine, chinchilla, fox and seal are superb.

but mink is shown also, and there are
any number of odd skins found on oc-

of the curiosities, that really is most
effective. is a Russian colt skin and
many other similar things are daily be-
ing evolved with which to equip those
women whose aim is speed. and who
consequently require ample warmth.
Seal, Persian lamb, and broadtai1 are

Learning To Swim.

., The value OF swimming as an
exercise has been proved by some
Of the most famous athletes, and
the mastery OF this accomplish
ment moreover, may some day
mean the saving of human life.
That boys and girls should be
taught to SWIM admits OF no argu-
sneRt. Asit is, the majority of
children fear the water, and much
OF this fear Is d,e to the misguld
ed anxiety of their parents. The
trouble with beginners is that
they make too much of the task;
provided the effort Is made, the
slightest muscular exertion will
suffice to keep one afloat. How
readily one may learn to swim Is
