TUESDAY,, FEB. %, 1905
DIGNIFlED SIMPLICITY

We are gravely informed by the
chroniclers of events at Washington
that the costume that will be worn by
Mrs. Roosevelt at the inaugural ball
has been completed, that it fits beauti-
fully and that it contains forty yards
of taffeta and one hundred yards of
chiffon-all made in the United States.
That the amount of material may sug-
gest to somebody the idea of elabo-
ration the court reporter of the White
house adds that the costume conveys
an impression of dignified simplicity.
Which is gratifying.
But is there not some derogation Of
dignified simplicity in the announce
ment that "the petticoat is of taffeta
and the lower half is given up to nu-
merous rows of silk chiffon plaitings? p"
The inquiry is made in perfect good
faith. We have no disposition to ques-
ton the good taste of the first lady in
the land. There may be other members
of her family who have at least a good
natured tolerance of the proposition
that it pays to advertise, but it is very
certain that Mrs. Roosevelt will not
feel that the dignified simplicity of her
costume will be enhanced by the fact
that the intimate details of its compo-
sltion have been made known to the
public-apparently for the purpose of
notifying possible critics that the ma
terials were all produced in the United
States.
Of course those materials were pro-
duced in the United States. Why not {?
1t is no longer even fashionable for the
parvenu to insist on wearing confec-
tions of materials made abroad, and
that for the simple reason that we
have improved on the foreign work.
men. Like the vaudeville artist who
initiated pig better than pig" we
produce better materials than the peo-
pie whose products we initiate. Mrs.
Roosevelt exhibits good taste and
judgment and, in some measure. mani
tests her patriotic impulses by wear
ing only materials made in the United
States
And in sympathizing with Mrs.
Roosevelt on this unwarranted expo
sure of the surprise she proposed for
those who go to pay their respects to
her at the inaugural ball we are moved
to real feeling because of the sting
hidden in the tail of description of her
costume wherein it is set forth that not
only was her bonnet made in the
United States, but that it is the prod
uct of La Porte Qnd) milliner.
Against this We protest. We have be-
come reconciled to the necessity of
accepting our poetry, delivered in bales
from a wagon made in Indiana and
drawn by Pegasus, but not even the
example of Mrs. Roosevelt will con-
strain us to accept our millinery from
the Hoosier factory. That would be
carrying patriotism beyond the limit
set by a paternal, protective tariff.

Heredity of Talent

The District of Columbia is an exam
pie, perhaps unique in the world, of the
heredity of talent. Let il be borne in
mind that, in this case as in that of
every state, the elements of the calcu-
lation' are not the men and women who
reside in the district, but those who
were born in it and who are dissent
mated all over the United States. That
such a percentage of the people born
in the District of. Columbia should be-
come famous is, of course. the result of
the artificial selection which has gath
cred temporarily or permanently into a
city, not among the largest in the eoun-
try, so many eminent men.-The Cen

Contemporary Comment
Punish the Beef trustees

The recent decision of the supreme
court affords hope that the attorney
general can bring the beef trust to
book. Should he succeed, he will be
justified in pressing for the severe PEN
atty of Imprisonment for a year rather
than the mild censure of fine of $1,000.
Before we plunge into further anti
trust legislation we must see what We
can accomplish under present laws, and
no fair test can be made until We try
the extreme punishment.-New York

INCREASE OF NAVY
North Dakota Senator Combats
the RoOseveItian
Policy

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 27.-The
senate today concluded the impeach-
ment trial of Judge Swayne by acquit-
'ihs MIN on all the charges made
against him in the articles of impeach-
Nheht presented by the house. and then
passed the naval appropriation bill.
Inc voting began at 1910 o'clock
and continued until Has. There was
no discussion, all the time being con-
sumed in taking the twelve votes nee
sary to dispose of each of the articles.
The highest vote for Impeachment was
80 votes and the lowest against it AZ.
On the two articles charging the use
on private railroad cars only 13 votes
were cast for conviction. The large
votes were mostly along party lines.
Ihe naval bill was discussed by Mr.
Hale, who again criticised the too
rapid increase in the navy. He said
the people would not stand for il. Mr.
Lodge defended the policy of the ad-
ministration in foreign matters and In
naval increase. The bill passed, 1t
carries s1O0,300,000.
McCumber on the Navy
Mr.. McCumber said during the de-
pate that every piece of legislation for
internal Improvement was Topped off
because the money was needed for the
construction of mighty battleships and
ing money for battleships that will
never be used"
Mr. Perkins suggested that a big
navy was bond of continued peace,
but Mr. McCumber declared that to be
an imported idea.
Mr.. Spooner asked Mr.. McCumber
who could say just how large a navy
was needed. Cant the senator from
North Dakota?" he asked.
Yes" was the reply. Now, can
the senator from Wisconsin tell how
large standing army is needed ?"
Mr.. Spooner said an army could be
mustered more quickly than battle
ships could be built, and asked what
was the assurance that the powers
would not have united against the
United States in 1898 if the navy had
been no larger than it was in 1880.
Mr.. McCumber spoke of concessions
made to this government by England
IN relation to the Clayton Bulwer
treaty and the Alaskan boundary. in
spite of the fact that Englands navy
was much larger than ours.
Then why do we need a navy at
all?" asked Mr.. Spooner.
Private business of the government
was given as the reason i'm the renly
by Mr.. McCumber, and Mr.. Dietrich
asked If navy would not be needed
to collect the debts of South Ameri-
can republics.
Now the senator is getting into deep
water" said Mr.. McCumber. Il don't
know to what extent in the future this
nation will be asked to collect bad
debts, but l had hope we would not
be called on to go any further than
we have"
During the consideration of the In
dian bill protracted debate took place
on the question OF the right of Indian
ailottees to ALLEVIATE property owned by
them.
