Spring Hat Trimming

Leather strapping is a popular trim
ming for spring hats. The simplest of
sailors have no other decoration than
band of leather and buckle, while
the more pretentious affairs are strap
caught up or down, wings and quilts
are held in place, and even bows are
made secure, all with the aid of dainty
straps of leather and brass buckles.
The same form of decoration may be
seen on the newest spring suits. Cuffs
collars and belt of bright cOlored
leather make an elegant as well as
simple trimming, and very beautiful
effect. may be obtained by having the
leather stamped with a conventional
pattern in gold and using gold buttons.

DECORATING Skirts.

Skirts are no longer decorated with
patches of trimming in the way of
applications of lace or CT passenlen-
The correct style is to place all the
decoration around the hem. Two
stitched folds of taffeta silk the exact
shade of the gown sewed on half an
inch apart make a pretty finish on
even the thinnest fabrics. For heav-
Ter cloths an unstitched band of velvet
seven or eight inches wide headed by

aged couple found burned to death in
their dwelling house at Montrose, dis

hole through the head A revolver
with two empty chambers was found
in the kitchen near where the man
was found. The coroner's jury found
that Lemlee had killed his wife, set
fire to the house to hide his crime, and
then shot himself. The police are now
working on the theory that the old
couple were murdered by stranger,
who set fire to the house afterward.
Little is known of Lemlee's early life.
He had lived in seclusion in Montrose,
making few acquaintances.

MR.. CARNEGIE ON THE PHILIPPINES.

Mr.. Carnegie, in his interesting letter, which
we publish in another column, misunderstands
our view of the anti-imperialists. Our point
was not that they should stop insisting on i'm
mediate independence, but that they should
stop insisting on an immediate promise of indie
pendence. What the future may hold in store
for the Philippines no man knows Secretary
Taft may have vision of an Oriental Canada
and the President of second Cuba. Neither
has any power to bind this country legally or
morally by the expression OF his aspirations.
What the anti-imperialists have demanded was
a binding promise of Philippine independence
as soon as, In the judgment of this government,
the Filipinos were it for it. Secretary Taft.
and now the President himself hold that such
a promise would interfere with progress and
civilization, and would stir up among an igno-
rant and childlike people premature agitation
that would be harmful. That is the view which
all through the campaign the anti-imperialists
have derided, and 1t is odd to find some of them
now appropriating the President to themselves
on the strength Of a personal expression OF his
hope Of the ultimate autonomy or independence
of the Philippines in the course of q warning
against the agitation which the antimperlaIists
have carried on.
Mr.. Carnegie approves Of the language Of the
President, and says no one would be foolish
enough TO turn the attention of the Filipinos
away IToH tue problems or achieving moral
and material prosperity, which is just what
Judge Taft said the anti-imperialists were do
ing by their demands for an immediate promise
OF independence. Then he at once does his part
to distract their attention from those problems
by saying that stimulated by this promise'-
Mr.. Carnegie treats the Presidents expression,
i most earnestly hope that in the end they viii
be able to stand" ETC., as promise they
viii soon prove themselves worthy of a trial"
Then he adds that, according to Admiral Dewey
and General Merritt, they are already better
lifted for independence than the Cubans
AS most of them speak only barbarous dialects
and have no possible unity of speech or thought,
except as It is slowly developed by American
teaching, 1t might easily be shown that they are
not as well fitted for independence as the
Cubans. But that is not the point at issue.
Whatever their fitness, Mr.. Carnegie throws his
influence into the scale to make them think they
are already fitted for independence and to re-
gard the Presidents expression as a reason for
expecting speedy trial, which is Just the no.
ton that would awaken intrigues for future
power and paralyze advancement along the
lines Of the present policy. And yet Mr. Car
negie Is undoubtedly sincere and Jealous in his
praiseworthy desire not to turn their attention
away from moral and material problems to in
tr1gueS for independence
