THERE ARE OTHERS"

The ARGUS wants to call atten-
ton to the letter of zone Who Was
Fooled" and add few comments.
He is not the only one who was
caught by the reduction in the State
tax from IS cents to 20 cents. AS
the gentleman remarks cit look
ed good to me-" 1t might be SAID
that 'ft looked good, to every one
who did not take the pains TO in
vestigate the Dawson tax laws.
Had the assessment of property not
been re0i5ed the people would have
gotten reduction in taxes as pro-
missed them by the Machine and its
followers. But when they said they
would assess everything at its "true
and actual value" this should have
set thoughtful men to thinking.
cone Who Was Fooled" illustrates
the point. His property was as
sessed at 500 under the old law.
but when Assessor Orr assessed it he
put 1t at its 'frue and actual value, "
which in his judgment was 5000.
What is the result The property
that Gone Who Was Fooled" paid
the State IS cents on he will pay
the State under the Dawson tax
laws more in spite of the reduction
in the levy and Its to be regretted
that the Journal and Its "Frldays"
are so thick-hea ded that they will
tell you that "One Who Was Fool.
ed" will pay less tax on his property
under the Dawson tax laws.
Now we submit it to an honest
public if it is not a waste of time
to argue with such hide. 6oNn6 bay-

The President and his family rarely
dine alone and although these din
ners are not formal occasions there
are generally a few distinguished
guests at the White House in the
evening. The entertainment of the
visiting bankers in several of the
fine homes Of the city, notably that
of Secretary Shaw has given an i'm
petus to social affairs which usually
do not show life until New Years
day. The President though is not
much distracted by society this ear
ly in the season and he is working
in preparation of his message 10
Congress and in receiving the great
numbers of delegations that are
coming every day with their various
requests and petitions. The usual
number of cranks are arriving and
departing each week but the Secret
Service which guards the President
is so capably organized that none
have so far reached the President.
The public is as far as possible
guarded from a knowledge of the
various cranks who attempt TO gain
admission to the President for il is
we'll known by the service that pub
licity given to one unpleasant incl
dent of the kind will develop a crop
of like sort and multiply many times
the work of the detectives. The
President will start on his southern
trip next week and in the meantime
he is laying in a stock of health that
will fortify him against the fever
menace of the South. He allows
nothing to interfere with his horse
back rides which he takes in com
pany with Mrs. Roosevelt or Secre-
tary Root every evening. He
drives to the edge of the city about
four O'Clock every evening and there
takes a horse which an orderly has
in waiting for him. He acknowl-
edges with heartiness the salutes OF
those who have assembled to see
him mount and on his way to the
park near by calls out "hello, boys

games and snatch off their caps as

upon the continuance of her charm

the shock OF bizarre associations of

which sound simply awful when

Ribbon embroidery will appear

many people to be amused, in This

The shirt-waist suit will remain a
fixture. + h e skirt model most
favored for making it is plated, the
plaits being stitched to hip depth
or little below. Both the box and
side plated skirts frequently pos
sess as many cores as plaits, thus
the plaits keep perfect line with
the thread of the goods, the top is
svelts, and the whole skirt has the
pretty swing Of style.
The tunic is frequently seen. 1t
does not follow straight lines, but is
somewhat punched, suggesting the
overskirt of former day s.
Such effects are usually a reaction
from long skirt coats and redingotes,
and perhaps the overskirt will not
take a definite shape.
Wool batiste will be much used
for Fall asd Winter shirt waists.
