Simple kimonos are often the most effective and are greatly liked for the convenient room gowns worn by young girls. This one is made of Japanese crepe, blue and white. with bands of plain blue silk, but any material suited to garments of the sort is appropriate. For cold weather French flannel and the many pretty nannelettcs are admir- able, while the crepe and simple cot ton fabrics are always in vogue.
 The I1imono is made with fronts and back shaped by means of shoulder ard unGer-arm seams. The back is laid in inverted pldits which are stitched flat for a short distance below the neck, and which provide fitness below that point. The sleeves arc in one piece each. and both they and the kimoao are faced to form the bands,

Sully could DO more with the cotton
market than all the exporters. spin
ners. farmers and shippers in two
continents combined.
This is a SAD commentary on the
business. and while such conditions
may have prevailed during the past
few years, they will not last. 1t is
more apparent every day that the cot
ton farmer himself is going to be a
factor in the establishment of a sell
ing price for his product. Now let
the mills make up their minds thar
they will, regardless of the advice OF
commission merchants, have more to
do with the establishment and main
tainance of value for the products of
the mills; and conditions will change
for the better, and both mill men
and farmers will be the beneficiaries.
1t need not require the organize
tons of combines or mergers TO do
this If a large number of the
farmers will make up their minds to
hold their cotton until they get 10
cents per pound for it they will surely
get it, and if the demand for a price,
embracing a fair profit for mill pro-
ducts gets to be fixed in the individual
minds of the mill men they will de-
mand it and finally get it.

Spirit of the Press
Republican "PoDulists."

Brooklyn Eagle.
The Republicans in this State are
up to their old tricks again. In
1896 they signed the petitions circu-
lated for Palmer and Buckner, so as
to get two Democratic tickets upon
the ballot and made sure of the state
for Mckinley. They have always been
ready to encourage any split among
Democrats. This year, when the Dem
Ccrats are united, these same obliging
Republicans are posing as Populists
and signing petitions 10 get Tom Wat
sons name upon the ballot In AL
bany county the signatures necessary
to insure the use of Watson's name
are reported to be "all Republicans"
One Populist from Cohoes has been
discovered in the list. but the great
bulk are Republicans. This industry
is apparently not hindered by the fact
that a man who signs such a petition
must swear that he proposes to sup
port the man whose n2~1e he asks to
have on the ballot. A little thing
like that would not discourage Repub-
licans when they think there are votes
to be made by the multiplicity OF
tickets. The interesting thing is that
they feel the need of getting as large
a vote for Watson as possible in thus
state. To hear them talk you would
think they believed Roosevelt would
carry New oYrk by anywhere from
1000 to $50, 000-unless you knew
the takers.

COTTON FACTS AND FIGURES

Some two weeks ago when cotton
was selling on the Raleigh market at
9 IA to 8 3-8 cents per pound the
News and Observer noted the fact
that exporters were taking the cot
ton and shipping it abroad at the
then prevailing prices instead of GO
ing into it's legitimate channels the
warehouses of the local mills, and we
stated at the time that our local mill
men were doing on their opportuni-
ties, or else the foreigner was mani
testify too anxious for cotton.
Since then cotton has advanced half
cent a pound and Notwithstanding
this fact there was less cotton offered
on the Raleigh market yesterday than
was sold here on the day the former
article was written. So it turns out
that the local mill men, VINO were al
lowing the cotton to depart from under
the eyes of their mills to foreign
spinners, were letting an opportunity
slip by them unawares, while the for
eigner was exerting himself to his ma
terial benefit.
It appears at this writing and has
appeared for several days that the
cotton growers have a we'll define idea
as to what their cotton is really worth
and the falling off in receipts during
the past several days is evidence that
they are not going to sell it-yet awhile
at least-unless they get something like
the price that has been fixed in their
mind. The cotton planter of the
South is in SO much better financial
condition than he was half dozen
years ago that he does not have to be in
a great hurry to get his cotton to mar
ket He owes but little these days
and he pays that off early III the sea-
son, and if he feels disposed to pile up
few bales of cotton on his own
premises for a few months, it is no.
hodys business but his own. There
is no prearranged concert of action
on the part of the farmers to do this
but there is unquestionably a unan-
nifty of sentiment that is far-reach-
ing, to the effect that if the cotton
growers will market their cotton
gradually and prudently this will do
great deal towards controlling the
price.
1t has been said, and perhaps there
is some truth III the statement that
our cotton mill people are natural
bears on raw cotton, while their COM
mission merchants in New York and
other points are natural bears on the
manufactured product. These things
may or may not be true: if they are
true, it is little wonder that mill divi-
bends in the South have largely di
minished and in many instances en-
tirely vanished during the past few
years. 1t has been said. too. that a

TRYING TO USE
LABOR UNIONS TO ELECT
RADICALS.

The Republicans do not dare to ask
for the votes of the people of North
Carolina for their discredited party.
They are nearly everywhere running
under an alias. In the counties that
have large towns they come out for a
labor candidate" always making sure
that the labor candidate" will do the
bidding of the Republican bosses.
In Wake it was widely advertised
that a labor candidate had been
nominated for the Legislature. In
vestigation showed that he had voted
for negroes for office in Franklin
county, had voted for Jim Young and
other negroes and a member of the
infamous Legislature of 1897. and had
been a local leader in the days of
Russellism. And yet good men had
been appealed to to support him as a
labor candidate
They will never do it!
In Mecklenburg the same trick
was attempted. The Republicans en-
dorsed Fred A. Sawyer for the Legis-
lature. 1t was given out that Saw
yer was the candidate of the Central
Labor Union. That body set the
matter at rest by adopting the follow
ing resolutions:
.."ReSOlved. that this body. Charlotte
Central Labor Union. inform the pub
lie that we do not endorse Mr.. Fred
a. Sawyer. or any other Candidate for
public office. as it is contrary to our
local and international bylaws and
constitution. And be it further
''IseSOived. that this body never
again allow party politics to be mem
toned or discussed i'm it's hall during
its sessions under any consideration.
and that no member shall be allowed
to use the Eame of this body for any
political purposes
The wise member of labor unions
know that if they permit Republicans
like Barrow and Sawyer to use the
union to elevate them to office. the
unions will be disgraced and lose all
their influence for good.

The conscience of America has been
aroused over the policy this country
has pursued toward the Filipinos. The
Republicans refuse to state what .iieS

will treat the Filipinos as they have
treated Cubans. What is the Popul1st
position? Here is what Tom Watson
