usual gamut from which the conserv-
alive and radical alike may choose
the style most suited to her, for
while there is no marked departure
from the prevailing modes of the past
season, there are the usual fashion
able varieties OF novelties. On EN-
pire and directoire styles we have
rung all the changes, and in the
creations of some Of the best French
mOdistes the times of Louis XVI. are
memorialized by toilets which at once
bring to the mind famous portraits
of Marie Antoinette's day. The re-

is with us, which is a welcome change
from the over-popular pompadour
The new coffure, while similar in
shape, is rolled much farther off the
forehead, and is somewhat wider at
the sides.
The Marie Antonette bodice is the
vogue in the world Of modes, and
destined to take a prominent place
on miladis summer wardrobe is the
Marie Antoinette silk, a style which
has caught the fancy Of
fashion leaders. A revelation,
even to the woman of the goth
century, accustomed as she is TO the
wonderful progressiveness in fabrics
for her adornment, it IS long since the
silk world has scored such a success
as it has done with this charming
fabric.
The relation of fabric to color is a
much mooted question today-a tone

undesirable in another but IN the

country is rapidly shifting from the
east TO the west.
Upon the years total exports
from Atlantic ports have, since 1894
increased So per cent, from gulf ports
$50 per cent and from Pacific ports
264 per cent.
This stupendous increase in export
trade to the westward, which has
come with scarcely any of the ordin-
airy aids to commerce. IS only an
indication of what may be expected in
the near future when the government
shall have done for the Pacific coast
something of what it has done so
literally for that of the Atlantic.
Battleships have been called the
"drummers of the worlds commerce.
Particularly in the unsettled condi-
tions of the far east a showing of

now being established will control the
industrial destinies of nations for
many decades to come.

constitutions are not mere legal doc
uments; they are the skeleton frame
of living organism; and in this case
the course of events had nationalized
the government once deemed confed-
crate" Not until later was the new
light on the bible to come which
would forever end the deposit theory
of its making. and shatter the concep-
tion of logical theologians. and south
ern slave owners, which made old
testament ethical standards binding
IN modern men. But the facts of eco
nomic and political life in the nation
were against the logical theories of
Calhoun, and he went down as all
lOgicans must before the facts of life
which so often belle its philosophy.
If one wishes to know the feeling
of the north toward Calhoun while he
lived. read Lowells Bigelow Papers,
Series 1, No. 5; or Whittier's Poem to
a Southern Statesman, or George
William Curtis Grafton on Political
nfidelity. To Lowell it seemed as
if "the constitution. cOnsecrated by
the callous consuetude of sixty years
and grasped in triumphant argument
by the left hand of him whose right
hand clutches the knotted slave
whip" was crying out for juster in

Craftiness in its self-set snare, and

The wrath of man to praise him"
And this is precisely what the West
ern pioneers did do, as Woodrow Will
son admits.
The larger question raised by con-
temptation of Calhoun's career is,
whether world political and social
conditions today initiate against the
la scendancy of men of his tempera-
ment and his conception of law and
government. Has radicalism or fan
atheism any place in the political life
of the twentieth century, or has the
opportunist temper which now COL

The two most illustrious fanatics
in our history were John C. Calhoun
and old John Brown. They repre-
scented the inevitable tendencies of
American civilization. One died in
his bed, honored and deplored as a
great statesman. The other was hung
upon gallCws, derided as a fanatic.
The statesman struggled with his last
strength to keep millions of human
beings degraded. The felon stopped
beneath the gallows, and, tenderly
lifting a child Of the degraded race,
kissed her in he soft winter sun.
Peace! Peace, History and the hui
man heart will judge between them
Both their bodies lie Wondering in
the grave: whose soul is marching
on? 1t was the fanaticism of aboli-
tionism that has saved this country
from the fanaticism of slavery. 1t
was fire fighting with fire"
Thus spoke George William Curtis
in a lecture on Political lnidelity
first delivered in 1864, concerning the
eminent South Carolina statesman,
whom in another address he charac-
terzed as the pagan in politics"
Without entering upon analysis
with respect to the respective repu-
tations of Calhoun and John Brown,

ing to note that Curtis description Of
Calhoun as a fanatic is supported by
two of the ablest sSuthern interpreters
of our political and intellectual devel

academic world of the north, Wood
row Wilson of Princeton and w. p.
Trent of Columbia.
