The "Iowa Idea"

"If a Republican committee finds that
reductions can be made without injury
to labor interests, 1 am for reduction
and If not shall oppose Mr.. Babcock's
proposition. Ny idea is, and the Iowa
idea is, that the laboring men must hrst
be protected and his rights preserves.
I think II is generally agreed in Iowa
that no revision of the tariff shall be
suggested until after the next Presi-
Dental election. Iowa is all right on the
tariff, and you may depend upon that"
As TO Governor Cummins' candidacy
for the Vice Presidency. Colonel Hep
burn said he did not know what the
governors wishes were in this respect.
but that II he decided TO seek the nomi-
nation there would be no question as 20
the loyal support which Iowa would give
him.
In regard 10 the new Office building
Colonel Hepburn said that the struc-
ture would be erected following the gen.
eral scheme OF the plans submitted 10
Congress and approved two years ago.
Colonel Hepburn said he saw no reason
why the work OF clearing the site and
starting the foundation should not he
commenced as soon as the condemnation
proceedings are concluded, and the Gov
eminent acquires title TO the property.
The appropriation is available on July
/. II is expected that the building viii
be completed and ready for occup =
when the Fifty-ninth Congress meets In
regular session, unless something un-
foreseen intervenes to prevent.

sad Colonel Hepburn. They are sim
pB endeevorIns to stir up little trou-
lie. but the Republicans are agreed and
united upon the subject
Always Protective Tariff.
"The Republican party has from time
% time revised the tariff schedules
when conditions were such that it was
advisable to do so. and it will again
revise the duties; but they will always
remain protective, for no one can doubt
that the Republican party is always in
favor of protection When the circum-
stances warrant it. the Republican party
revises the tariff by lowering duties; it
is not always in favor of increasing
duties.
When I entered Congress in 1888 tho
duty on steel rails was something like
SOS a ton. The Republican party has
from time to time revised that scheduis

into a band at the wrist AS a rule, the
chiffon coats have no trimming, but
there are few designs that have bands
of lace insertion or are trimmed with
cords and tassels of white passemen-

in itself has very little warmth, but COM

warm enough to be of serice a cool af-

the races is now so much a ne
cessity in these days that more
attention is paid TO costumes for the
races than to any other gowns in the
fashionable outfit. and not only must the
gowns themselves be of the latest style.
but every accessory, such as parasol,
wrap. and hat. must also be new and as
becoming as possible.
The Partisan woman is fond of the
races, but not more so than the Amer
lean woman of the present day, who feels
that there she can wear her best cloth
ing, and see the latest styles. AS the
races continue for several weeks ii read
lily can be understood that there is plen-
ty Of opportunity for the wearing Of
smart gowns and also of many smart
wraps When the day is cool the light

are seen; If the day be warm then is the
time TO display gorgeous creations of

II might be thought that there could
be no change in the different styles of
cloth costumes. especially those in light
colors, but dressmakers and taiiors and
designers discover every day some new
way OF making up cloth. especially the
lightweight cloths. which are so light as

plat arranged in two groups are big
pearl buttons. This dress is not at ali
inappropriate for morning wear, and
yet it is equally good style for almost
any Informal afternoon occasion.
In making up a gown of this sort,
where the skirt is OF light weight silk.
| unlined, the petticoat requires special
attention. Il must be fitted over the
hips as carefully as the dress skirt.
There must be positively no fullness at
the waistline, while at the bottom there
may be one deep founce, slightly
stiffened with featherbone. or many
featherbone stiffened ruffies.
The selection of new coat for a two
weeks vacation is. indeed, a problem
for the girl OF limited income. OF
course, much depends upon where she
is going and whether CT not she has q
jacket left over from last season, which
could be used very we'll for a knock
about coat. If she happens to have
covert cloth jacket. she can afford to
buy one of the very new smart looking,
loose fitting long coats of black spot
prufe taffeta. She can use a coat of
this sort as travelling wrap. as it will
shed the dust and rain, and is cool and
comfortable. She can also put It to
good use during her two weeks vaca-
ton, not only as a driving coat, but TO
wear over her light summer dancing
gown in going from one hotel 70 the
other in the evening.
The fashionable black taffeta coat en-
phasizes the button craze. 1t is double
breasted and fastens with big black tat
feta covered buttons, while the collar
and wide cuffs OF the coat are trimmed
with groups of small black taffeta but
