THE HUGHES BILL,
SENATOR 8. n. HARPER SAYS AN.
Tl-PAss BILL is NOT "MlLp,
HARMLESS MEASURE"
Takes Issue With the Des Moines Cor
respondent Of the Courier ~ Thinks
Measure Is Sufficiently Drastic -
Few Private Citizens Have Passss.
Des Moines. March 6.

Des Moines, March 6.
Editor of the Courier, Ottumwa, Ia:
Dear Sir:-I take issue with your
Des Moines correspondent In his let
ter Of the Sd inst. wherein he desig-
mates the amended Hughes anti-pass
bill as a mild and very harmless lit
tie measure"
A measure that provides that IL any
railway company, or any officers,ag
or representative thereof, shall issue,
give or offer to give, to any city, coln-
ty, district, or state officer, including
judges, members of the legislature,
Jurors of the state and federal courts,
or to any delegate to any political con-
yention, or returning therefrom, or to
any member of any political commit
tee or employee thereof, or to any can
dtdate for city, county, district or
state office, any free pass, ticket or
other privileges. at rates less than
charged the public, shall, upon con-
viction be imprisoned in Jail not to
exceed six months or fined not to ex-
coed $500, is not a mild measure but
Is pretty severe, when we consider
that this granting Of free transporta-
ton has been in vogue for half OF a
century and but little opposition has
been offered to 1t, until within the
past few years.
This bill prohibits any Of the ON.
Gals above named from asking, or US.
ing free transportation, subject to the
penalties above mentioned. I think
this Is pretty drastic. If city, coun.
ty or state officer should simply ask
for free pass. ne would lay himself
liable to be imprisoned six months in
jail. Is this a mild, harmless little
measure?"
Tnls bill might have gone farther
but the committee after most careful
consideration came to the conclusion
that more drastic measure would not
pass.
Anti.pass bills were defeated four
and two years ago on the ground that
they went too far. AS the personnel
of the senate Is the same as two years
ago. it was thought best to cut out
some OF the more drastic features of
the Hughes bill, SO as to materially
strengthen it In the upper house,
which / believe has been done.
Your correspondent speaks of the

have his pass and will exert his in
fiuence in favor of the railways. I

was a great bond Of vympathtic feeling
between them. For they had much in
common. But Of real, true love, such
as she understood should exist between
two people who proposed to enter the
bonds of matrimony, sne had none for
the man who had proposed to her.
Should she marry him in the hope that
love would follow?
To a certain extent sympathy Is akin
to love, but the former only develops
into the latter when nothing Interrupts
the intercourse of the two people con-
cerned. But there Is, in the first place,
always the great danger that after a
girl has been married to a man she
merely likes and sympathizes with, she
may meet with one for whom all such
minor feelings are swallowed I'D in the
great factor-love.
Even surprising, however, that no
other man appears on the scene. II a
true census was taken IL would probably
be found that the majority Of women
are disappointed in some way with re-
gard to the men they marry. But love
helps them to forgive faults, to regard
them with a kindly mind, and think
more Of their husbands virtues.
A girl who marries man simply be-
cause she sympathizes with his troubles
and trials, his ambitions and ideals, re-
ceives a severe shock when she finds
after marriage that there are several
| flaws in the man whom she liked to re-
gard somewhat in the light Of a para
gon. She may find that his disposition
and character is such that he deserves
blame rather than sympathy, because he
has not realized those ambitions he u
so fond of talking about
No, sympathy Is not a sufficient mo.
tive for marriage, and more especially
when that sympathy Is aroused by thu
shortcomings Of a man whom q girl
thinks she could reform Of bad way
by marrying him.

How Women Defy Age.

It Is not true the woman growing old
must not wear black. 1t is that she must
not wear all black. There are no pow
ders or cosmetics that have the power
to help the skin like contrast This Is
one word that the woman who begins
to fade wants to have written at the
top of her dress calendar.
1t Is not necessary to give up the all
black hat, but let her wear 1t with the
white or nearly white dress or suit.
Again, let her wear the white lace hat
or the small dress hat with bright foil
age and flowers with her black gown.
To the sallow brunette the combina-
ton of navy blue cloth with cream trim
mings has been rejuvenator always
and worth whole battalions of beautifi-
srs. To the same type the palest Of
pale grays with black hat and black
trimmings and white chiffons is safe
screen behind which to hide complexion
al defects. 1t Is the same with brilliant
red worn In small quantities with
cream and mode colors, where all red
would turn the sallow complexion cop
perry. There seems to be KIND OF
power like that of the ventriloquist
which distracts attention from all de-
fects In such combinations or perhaps
IL Is the mixed light" Of the two colors
which, thrown together ON the personal
color scheme, puts it out" entirely.
1t is this principle which has made
for the universal becomingness and
long staying of the white blouse worn
under the dark winter coat suit 1t is
one which can also be carried far bet
ter into evening gowns. Here, even
with the decolletage, all black Is not
safe where there are health defects,
and consequently bad ones Of color
also. To such complexion the black
net gown made over white lace or
chiffon is a salvation, while all white
laces or silks are better relieved with q
touch Of Jet jewelry, turquoises or bril-
liant red flowers.

Flower-trimmed hats are again fash
ionable this year, but there Is new
way of wearing them-a coquettish
way. Empire and Directoire modes do
not go well with puritanical millinery,
20 the newest millinery designs are built
to emphasize the general effect Of the
gowns with which they are worn. This
little toque has a crown Of corded chif-
fon finished with double brim of pink
silk roses. There Is no touch Of green
about the hat, the ribbon at the back
being long, full loops Of deep rose vel
vet.
The matter Of hair dressing enters
largely into the question of stylish
headgear, too, the new seasons models
calling for more or less elaborate Golf
fures. Both the high and low couture
Is modish, but those who can wear the
latter becomingly seem to prefer 1t.
With small hats, however. the high
headdress Is more effective. Parted
hair Is also worn by women to whom
1t Is becoming, but no woman of taste
will let her devotion to fashion carry
her beyond the point of an attractive
cofffure. Hair ornaments are unusual
ly pretty this year, and the new combs
barettes, etc, show striking departures
from the old conventional lines.

There Is no dimlnution of the popu

sign sketched here Is one of the newest
ideas from Paris, showing the way in
which strapping is employed for q
front trimming. Braids of all kinds
figure prominently In the decoration Of

or hip length. This coat Is built OF
finely striped face cloth, with collar
and cuff trimmings Of heavy silk MORE
which in turn is bound with elegan,

trimmed with a shaded brown coQue's

Any Of the ordinary methods of brac-
ing do not seem to answer the purpose.
An excellent brace may be made by
the following plan: Place the post in
position, then dig hole two feet deep
and about six or eight feet from the
post. Obtain a heavy stone and fasten
a stout piece Of wire to 1t, long enough
to reach to the post and wrap around
II two or three times. Then bury the
stone In the hole, covering 1t with the
soil and tramping the soil down tightly.
The other end Of the wire Is then
wrapped about the post tightly and
held In position with staples. 1t should
be drawn taut 1t will not be possible
for the post to draw away from this
brace under any ordinary conditions.
