simple frocks, made of brown linen,
white linen, and red and blue, or of fou-

FADS AND FANCIES.
MINNA SCHATT CRAWFORD.

Although the picturesque and eccentric
play the leading parts on fashions stage
this season, there are many charming
styles that are decidedly conservative and
simple, so that it is merely matter of
taste whether one be dressed conspicu-
ously or with quiet elegance. Fashions
are so elastic that 'becomingness" is the
only real essential of good style.
This is the period for wash gowns
and the clever woman who can sew on
the machine is able to make herself half
dozen pretty tub toilettes for the sum
she would be obliged to expend on one of
these smart creations if she bought it
ready made.

Mr.. Editor: l want to congratu-
late you for the plain common sense
in your editorial onlynching last
week. Three cheers for it,
This community was stirred last
Tuesday night on account of a
would-be rapist; Fincher Murphy,
(colored,) being the dare devil"
He tried to commit this so common
and yet dastardly crime on one of
his color for his first attempt, and
skipped to parts unknown. We
hope the law will soon bring him
to justice, and teach him lesson
he will never forget, and prevent
some other, and even more hcinous
crime. This thing ought to stop
now; 1T must stop here. God for
bid that any of our noble woman
hood shall ever suffer this living

FORTY-SIx STATES NOW
President Signs Bill Admitting Okla
homa to Statehood-It includes
Indian Territory

Washington-Another star was add
ed to the union when President Roose-
velt signed the bill admitting Okla
home and the Indian Territory as enc
state. The measure also provides
that Arizona and New Mexico may
be admitted to statehood as the state
of Arizona provided the people of
the territories vote in favor of ad-
mission On the terms submitted by
congress.
The signing of the measure was
made the occasion of an interesting
ceremony. Senator Beveridge and
Representative Hamilton, chairman of
the senate and house committees on
territories, who have worked long and
hard for the measure, were present,
Oklahoma and a number of residents
of Oklahoma; Delegate Andrews Of
New Mexico; Secretary Loeb and
others
Just before the president signed
the bill Ambassador Speck Won Stern
bern of Germany was ushered into the
Office and he, too, witnessed the cere-
mOny.
The president used two pens in
signing the measure, writing his first
name Theodore" with a solid gold
pen presented by the people of Ari-
zona, his family name Roosevelt"
with an eagles quill taken from an
American eagle in Oklahoma.
After he signed the bill President
Roosevelt congratulated Senator Bev-
eridge and Representative Hamilton
ON the completion of their long and
arduous labors in connection with the
measure. He also expressed the hope
that the people Of Aii,iizsen;a and nd New
Mexico would avail themselves of the
opportunity to come into the union as
a state. From every point Of view,
he said, he regarded this as the thing
for them to do as the opportunity
might not come again i'll score of
years The president said that he
has personal interest in the admission
of Arizona and New Mexico as many
OF the members of the rough riders,
his regiment, reside in those terri
tories

exceedingly anxious to bring the ses-
sion to close as speedily as possible,
and great deal of hurried work will
be done, which as rule Is never
done satisfactorily to the interests of
the people, but always satisfactory to
the special interests whose attorneys
and lobbyists are on the ground and
taking advantage of the impatience of
congressman to dispose of the matters
on hand and return to their homes
to participate in the caucuses and con-
ventions of their parties.
A decided change in the attitude OF
the leading republicans in both
branches of congress is noticeable as
the result of the debate over the rate
bill. They have at last become fully
aware of the fact that the future sue
cess of their party depends upon the
attitude of their various state cOnven-
tions in dealing with the problem OF
transportation and monopolies. They
at last seem to realize that a change
of front is necessary If the party is
I, to retain its hold upon the govern
: ment. With this idea in view every
utterance of Senator LaFollette is
noted with great interest by friends
and enemies alike as all have come
to regard him as voicing the actual
and positive demands of the voters
of the country at large in greater
measure than any other member OF
either branch of congress. 1t is gen.
orally understood here that President
Roosevelt himself is keeping very
close tab upon the utterances and pos
itions of the Badger senator, and that
he is preparing to adopt many of his
views as means of retaining his hold
upon the affections Of the voters. The
best politicians among the republicans
here believe that it will be necessary
to renominate President Roosevelt in
1908 as a necessary step to save the
party against the bewildering popular
ity of Bryan. Therefore it is that
politicians who have no sympathy
with the reforms advocated by Mr..
LaFollette, or those urged by Presi-
dent Roosevelt are coming to regard
these gentlemen as the most yalu-
able assets of the republican party
in the fight that Is iissaaaain Just
ahead.
Many shrewd politicians believe
that the railroads and trusts will be-
come reconcled to the denomination
of Roosevelt and will support him II
nominated in 1908 rather than take
the chance of the election of Bryan,
whom they have no hope of being
able to influence or hoodwink. They
begin to realize that while the sue
cess of the republican ticket In 1908
would land their friends in congress
and wo,ild put them in much safer
attitude than having democratic
congress with president possessing
the intelligence, convictions and sta
biitv of Mr.. Bryan Evidence on all
sides points to the adoption of more
radical platfroms in the future by re-
publicans who do not intend to hazard
their own political futures or the pros
poets of party success by openly on
posing the unmistakable trend Of pub
lie opinion.

RAPs WATERED STOCK
Should Show Property to Value Of
Their Capitalization

Milwaukee-Public service corpora
tions ought not to be allowed to fix
their charges so as to earn dividends
on watered stock is the position taken
by Governor Davidson in an inter
view. The watered stock proposition
the governor said, was one of the
greatest swindles ever perpetrated on
the American people. A law COM
pelling corporation to show actual
property he added, to the value of
their capitalization would be a good
thing and would protect the people
against promoters engaged in boom
ing wildcat propositions.
