There's only one kind of clothes

all wool fabrics. Every inch of every
yard is thoroughly examined for
flaws; sl1runk three times by a steam
spOnging process, the goods are cut

better tailored than the average GUS
tom tailor does it, or can dOit.
There are economies in cost at
every step; they appear as price
economies to you. If you cannot af-
ford the exclusive tailOrs prices, you

IRRIGATION CONVENTION
Nebraska's Governor Presides
Over Interstate Congress.
MAXWELL ARGUES FOR HARMONY
Wyoming Is Also Represented at Colo
RADIO Convention and Harmonious
Action Between the Three States Is
dvocated-Condition Encouraging.

Sterling, Colo, Feb. 27.-The states
OF Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska
are represented in the irrigation con-
gress which met at the opera house
yesterday afternoon. There are about
rs delegates, including Governor Saw
age and a large delegation from Ne
braska. George II. Maxwell executive
chairman of the National Irrigation as
sociation, delivered an address. He
commended the idea of promoting by
such convention a harmonious senti-
ment between the three states of Col
orado, Wyoming and Nebraska.
He said that one state could not ac-
complish as much for its own benefit
by acting solely from a selfish stand
point as it could by working along
broad lines that would consider and
welfare Of all of them. He impressed
upon the convention the fact that the
national irrigation movement was not
planned nor was it being carried out
with any idea of interfering in any
way with private enterprise. On the
contrary, he said, it was one of the
purposes of the national association to
aid and stimulate sound and legitimate
enterprises which could be carried out
without government aid or interven-
tion. He said that the purpose was to
get the government to build only such
works as were of reason impractical
BILE for private enterprise. He COM
mented on the local conditions in the
region about Sterling, and said that
the fact that the existing irrigation
bitches were controlled by co-opera-
tive companies, owned by the land
owners themselves, was an encour-
aging fact, because such systems had
everywhere tended to a larger and
more permanent prosperity.
IF there are anywhere within your
reach" said Mr.. Maxwell, "opportun-
tiles to increase or make more certain
the water supply for your bitches, by
all means organize your local people
and build the reservoirs. Do not wait
for the government to help you"
Governor Savage of Nebraska was
made permanent chairman of the con-
vention and a committee on resolu-
tions appointed, with Ex-Governor
Eaton of Colorado as chairman. 1t

SENATE STILL AT SEA,
Can Find No Solution of Tillman-Mc.
laurin Difficulty.

Washington, Feb. 27.-The meeting
of the senate committee on privileges
and elections did not result in supply
Ing any solution of the difficulty that
the senate is in, in connection with
the Tillman-McLaurin matter. The
Republican members of the commit
tee frankly confessed that they had
not been able to formulate a scheme
which would relieve the situation.
The galleries of the senate were
thronged with spectators when the
body convened. All were anticipating
reopening of the discussion of the
CONTROVERSY respecting the right of
Senators McLaurin and Tillman to par
ticlpate in the proceedings of the body
while under the ban of contempt
Burrows (Mich.), chairman of the
committee on privileges and elections,
was recognized. He said the commit.
tee was in the midst of the considera-
tion of very important question, a
decision on which had not been
reached. By instruction of the com.
mittee he therefore moved that the
senate adjourn. Without objection
the motion was carried and the SEN
ate adjourned.
Most of the Republican members of
the committee hold that to Senator
Tillman should be awarded a more se
we're form of rebuke than to Senator
McLaurin, while the Democrats do not
generally concede there should be dis.
elimination. Proceedings were not Of
character to permit of any definite
conclusion as to what the result would
be, though so far as they went they
indicated censure as the form of pun
ishment most likely to be recon.
mended. Some of the Republicans,
however, are holding out for a more
pronounced rebuke to Senator Tillman
than could be given in any verbal
reprimand
