pRtae.SIne AND NOT pRACTlcIsG.

The League of Virginia Municipali-
ties composed of the mayors of Vir-
GINA cities held its first meeting at
Richmond on the 18th inst Among
those who addressed the meeting was
the Hon. Carter Glass who chose for
his subject, Purity of Politics in Mu-
nicipal Government. In the course Of
his remarks Mr.. Glass said:
"Ward politicians may be relied on to
run politics on the plane and by the
methods which their environment,
their training and their avidity most
readily suggest. How else could they
be expected to run things? And newt
ably the result is, when you turn your
election machinery over to grafters and
the conduct of your primary meetings
over to men devoid of civic pride and
sometimes of common honesty, you get
grafters in your high places and putri-
faction in your political organiza-
tions.
ssWhen electoral boards are composed
of grafters and political pirates it
would be folly to expect the judges and
clerks Of elections to be honest men.
And if they are not, by what ordinary
process of reason should we expect our
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1905-12-21

elections to be fairly conducted and
honestly proclaimed?"
This is about the solid truth, if it
does come from Mr.. Glass. We recall
the fact that in an editorial published
in the Lynchburg News in March, 1900,
Mr.. Glass, who was warm advocate
of holding a constitutional convention,
declared that the most urgent reason
for making new constitution was to
get rid of the political brigands and
office-holder' trust" that had been so
long ruling and disgracing Virginia.
We also recall the fact that Mr.. Glass
was a member of the constitutional
convention and helped to so frame our
suffrage and election laws as to place
the State completely at the mercy OF
machine politicians. No more partisan
and election laws have ever
been made than those embraced in the
new Constitution of Virginia. Mr..
Glass knows that he and his Democratic
colleagues in the constitutional conven-
ton when they framed those laws had
for their chief object the perpetution of
Democratic rule in Virginia.
We will never have pure politics and
honest elections in Virginia until we
have non-partisan election laws.

ON USE OF SAcHET BAGS.
A Strong Perfume Is Not Pleasing
Daintiest Manner in Which
to Use Scents.

There are no perfumes so sweet,
dainty and lasting as sachet powders.
The delightful extracts which usually
cost a dollar for a small bottle are
very strong at first and then fade
away, but any girl can always have
a dainty odor about her by the use Of
sachet powder Get a good quality
and always use the same kind. Make
little bags of thin silk and cotton bat
ting and put the powder In them.
Scatter these all through your bureau
drawers, your handkerchief and veil
cases, your shirtwaist boxes and even
your hat boxes. AS the odor grows
faint from time to time renew the
powder, but, as your bureau drawers
are kept closed most Of the time, the
odor will last, and as your old chiffons
and gloves become saturated with it
they will impart it to the new things
you place with them. Then when you
are dressed and start out you will have
dainty and habitual odor about you
instead Of the distressingly strong one
of perfumery freshly applied, which is
80 distasteful to fastidious persons.

Tailored Suita

Most Of the jacket and coat suits
shown thus early are severely plain,
and are the greatest relief to eyes
grown weary Of decorations and frills.
The tailored suits are actually rigid
il their plainness. They are close fit
ting, and have small collars and SIM
pie sleeves. When well made they
bave an air of correctness that is I'M
mistakable. The authorities say that
all sorts Of coats, long, short, tight
and loose, will soon appear. and that
we are by no means to be confined to
enc style. Thus far, however, the long
coat and the very short Elton have IL
all their own way.

Boiled Starch.

It is a mistake to suppose that box
starch is the cleanest. On the con-
trary, bulk starch, that comes in big
Jumps, is far more free from dust and
other foreign substances. Select your
starch with care, and dissolve tea
cupful of the big, clean Jumps in
enough cold water to cover 1t. Add one
heaping teaspoonful of salt, one Of
granulated sugar, a piece Of butter the
size of filbert or hazelnut, and little
blue water. Pour this mixture into
four quarts Of boiling water, stir while
still boiling, until 1t is free from
Jumps, and then let 1t cool. This
starch is delightfully."- smooth, will not
stick to the irons, and gives a beau
tiful domestic finish.

The Richmond Journal says: I'VE
fear Mr.. Williams is a failure, as sue
cessful leader" Of course he is fail
ure, but how could he be otherwise.
He has what the Times-Dispatch calls a
mob, and it is very small one, to lead.
And how can mob that represents no
fixed principles be led successfully by
any person? Even if John Sharpe Will
liams had all the elements of great
leader he could accomplish nothing with
the small, discordant band he has been
chosen to lead.

LACE HATS IN FASHION.
They Have Come Back Again and
Often One Can Unearth and Re
model in Old One.

Among old friends brought back are
the lace hats, one of which many wom-
en- are sure to have on hand. One
model suggested the way to rejuven-
ate an ordinary white lace covered hat.
A broad band Of Jet spangled trimming
was put around the edges Of both
brim and crown, and it was finished
with a great, full bow Of black tulle.
One OF the loveliest hats seen in the
openings was also one which would
lend itself to home manipulation. A
remnant would first need to be picked
up in the heaviest kind Of white open
work lace. This is stretched on after
the frame is first covered with white
satin. A black velvet facing is put un-
derneath, tiny twist of black velvet
around the low, oval crown, and a
bunch Of black tips with long feathery
black spikes curving just enough not
to be aggressive, is set under the
turned up side Of the brim. The little
hats made with white val lace edging
will also continue good for winter,
with the addition of soft white wings
or tips. Great punches of wings are
loaded under the turned up brims of
day hats. For instance, a dull blue
beaver, with twists of velvet to match,
had the most of its trimming In
great bunch of pale blue wings set at
the back.
In picking out ready made hat
care should be taken to get one in
which this bandeau trimming is set so
as not to interfere with the straight
line to the front of the brim, which is
more becoming to the usually straight
browed American than the extremely
tip tilted styles, which are going out
with the decline of the little hats
