To Avoid Shrinkage.

There is absolutely nothing more pro-
voking or disheartening than for a
dainty liren frock that has cost time
and money to shrink badly the very
first time it is washed. The following
method is said to make linen unshrink-
able, and is certainly worth trying: FIJI
the bath tub about one-third full with
clear cold water: then, without unfold
ing the linen, wrap it in 2 clean towel
and leave it in the tub over night. Take
it out in the morning and hang it up
without wringing out the water. It will
take some time to dry, but the linen
will be thoroughly shrunken and the
material need not be pressed until after
the garment is made.

Mating,

Never use soap in washing a mat
tirg, because the alkali in it will even
tually yellow and destroy the fiber. The
most effective mode Of washing a mat
ting is to use lukewarm water, adding
salt in the proportion of handful to
bucket of water. The floor should be
dried thoroughly.

at the facts in connection with corpora
tons, to control their interstate trans
actions, to punish their misdeeds, to
make them play fair, it owes to Re
publicans Nearly every effective local
| fight made in the several States against
corporation aggressions has been made
by Republicans.
1t may seem paradoxical in some
| quarters to speak Of the Republican
party as the radical rather than the
conservative party. Yet it will not be
so to the veterans who remember its
appearance on the national theater as
! the champion at once of human free
dom and of stronger central govern
ment. The Democratic party took then
the position, to which it had been COM
mitted by its history, that the nation
did not have the power to put down
slavery in the States. Its own logic is
driving it into a similar position now
If the American people are to be bound
bv "strict construction" and glorifi-
cation Of "state rights" at the expense
of the national government, they will
be hailed in their attempt to curb the
great interstate corporations which in
diyidual states have chartered.
Only by turning its back on its own
history could the Democratic party, the
marty demanding a weak central gov
eminent, qualify itself to do the work
which the people are requiring now. 1t
ia an old reproach that the Republi-
can party is 'paternal," and so it is
The abolition Of slavery was paternal,
| the protective tariff is paternal, the
| intervention of Roosevelt in the an
thracite strike of 1902 was paternal, the
| supreme court interpretations that en-
large the nations power to handle In
| terstate transactions are paternal
Nothing but paternalism can meet the
present problem. ''Paternallsm," as
Republicans translate it, Is mastery
an effective assertion that the nation is
bigger than any of its constituents or
any Of its creatures.
It was the logic Of party history that
! the antitrust law, as the Democratic
World said In a frank editorial in 1904,
was framed and first executed by Re
publicans, and that when the supreme
court declared it constitutional the dis
senting minority Of the court Included
every Democratic judge OF that tri-
| bunal." It was the logic Of party his
| tory that the Sarato@' platform Of
| 1904 on which the New York Demo
Gratis presented Judge Parker to the
nation, declared for 1.-The maintenance
| Of state rights and home rule; no cen
| tralization." BY this same irresistible
| logic Bryan himself Is driven to the
! grotesque necessity of advocating the
breaking up of the railroads OF the
country into as many systems as there
are states, and their taking over by
the states, instead Of their control by
the nation.
The next step in national progress is
not going to be confded to the party
whose motto is, you can't do it,
New York Mail.
