Advance Preparations.
For weeks past the high class houses
have been busy designing and making
garments and accessories for women of
society and fashion whose presence at
the show Is OF sufficient importance to
create newspaper sensation all over the
country. Just what these women are to
wear is, naturally. of interest TO women
OF every class.
Each day Of the show is divided into
three sessions. morning, afternoon and
evening" and each session calls for its
own particular style of dress. During
the morning hours one sees only bust

masculine contingent surrounding the en-

Of all ages will wear this year the smart

The Afternoon Toilette.

SCOPE OF THE LABEL.

After all the talk and debate in con-
gress for a couple of years, the De-
partment of Agriculture has found 1t
necessary to warn the public that it
should not believe everything It reads
on manufacturers labels. Secretary
Wilson promises to commence suit, If
necessary, against certain manufactur-
ers of goods who, taking advantage Of
the wording of the pure food law, are
misleading the buyers and the public
into believing that their wares are
guaranteed by the federal government.
The pure food law requires that man
ufacturers Of food articles shall file
with the government guaranty of
the purity and proper branding of their
products. But this is the guaranty of
the manufacturer and not of the gov
eminent. The government simply
gives the manufacturer a serial num-
Der, for the purpose of Identification
and to fix the responsibility in case of
complaints. Many manufacturers have
taken advantage Of this quasi-indorse-
ment to advertise that THE United
States Government Guarantees the
Purity of Our Products" or Every
Bottle is Guaranteed by the United
States Government" Secretary VIII
son declares that unless this practice
is stopped he will do a little advertis-
ing for the government by publishing
list of offending manufacturers.
The distinction is, of course, plain
and the manufacturers resorting to
such methods must admit themselves
at fault, but 1t seems pity that, after
such a prolonged campaign of educa-
ton, the public should not be allowed
to place more than it's former faith in
labels.

Ho, Yankee. Porto Riean and Texan and

Let's hail the peerless leader the eloquent
Nebraalkan;
The time has come for putting all preju-
dices down,
For standing up united, white, red and
black and brown;
Let Bryan mount the platform and in a
grand Grafton
Proceed to hand our Teddy another nom

Ho, fiery. Tennesseean and brothers Of
Rhode Island.
Ho, men Of every lowland and verdant

The time has come for casting our politics
aside
And standing up as brothers with honor
and with pride;
Let Teddy mount the platform and show
the way TO Zion
And freedom from oppression by nominat-
ing Bryan.
And when the peerless leader and he that
rules, Oh brother,
Have won our trust by daring to nominate
each other
Let Georgie's son, Tom Watson, step forth
10 do his turn,
To free the lana from trouble and lasting
glory earn
By eloquently adding another Innovation
Let Watson shine by giving them both the

NEBRASKA PRESS COMMENT.

Beatrice Sun: The governor vetoed the
bill providing a penalty for neglecting to
cut weeds That was the proper thing to
do Under the child labor law some
farmer might have offended against the
law by setting a boy under 16 to cutting
weeds. Weeds and loafers are the future
crop Of Nebraska.
Oakdale Sentinel: We were considerably
puzzled at the absence Of Representative
w. q. Fletcher when the vote was taken
on a number Of the measures before the
legislature. The Elgin Review explains It
BIZ stating that Mr.. Fletcher improved the
opportunity by attending a series Of med
ical lectures. II true It is hoped the doc
tor accomplished more good for himself
than he did for his district.
Sidney Telegraph: The legislature will
go down In the history Of the state as a
legislature that legislated. From start TO
finish It was busy attending to the bust
ness for which II was chosen. and 1t at
tended to 1t faithfully and we'll. 1t did not
do everything to suit every body-no one
expected It to-but It carried out every
pledge of the state convention and passed
a power Of good, wholesome laws that were
needed and will do much toward advancing
the general interests Of the state. Some
laws failed to reach shore that we think
should have been passed but maybe we
are wrong. At any rate we take on our
hat and make our most respectful bow to
the legislature Of 1907.
Seward Blade The people of Seward
county, regardless Of party, may we'll feel
proud of the records made by their repre-
sentatives and senator in the late legisla-
ture. Dr. F. A. Marsh and ]. p Stolz
were sent to Lincoln to carry out well
defined reforms and help enact them into
laws which were demanded by the people.
and how we'll they have discharged this
trust a glance at their record and votes
on important measures will show. DR..
Marsh was soon recognised as one of the
strong members Of the house, and both ne
and Mr.. Stolz took an active part in shap-
ing legislation. They were attached to the
most important committees and in that
capacity accomplished much work. always
being at their posts at committee meetings
as well as on the floor OF the house at
critical times, and never failed to vote,
and vote right, on every bill Senator Al
drich, by reason OF his experience as an
attorney, was soon regarded as a leader
OF great capacity in the senate. His fear
less aggressiveness on the measures de-
manded by the people soon won for him
the respect Of his fellow members, and his
work will receive the commendation which
1t deserves from his constituents in both
Seward and Butler counties.

The consensus of opinion every
where is that Nebraska republicans
occupy a vantage point on the polit-
zeal battle-ground from which they can
not soon be dislodged II they but make
the most Of their advantages. This is
emphasized by review Of the late leg
islature by Editor John c. Sprecher of
the Schuyler Free Lance, himself for
many years one of the most fearless
and conscientious leaders OF the popu-
list party and several times honored
by his associates with official prefer
ment. After enumerating the impor-
tant measures placed on the 1907 stat
ute book, Mr.. Sprecher says:
The republican party in Nebraska Is in
excellent condition to come before the peo-
pie another year and there is no use put
ting up a democratic ticket, as with proper
nominations the state will be more repub-
lican than ever. and It should be. The DEM
ocratic opportunity in Nebraska Is passed.
They mad a grand opportunity and proved
unfaithful to the trust and simply fake
reformers" who promised profusely and
gave nothing in return.
The populist party, he goes on to
say, was inspired in good motives, but
wrecked by designing schemers, and
continues
II there ever was political element en-
titled justly TO the term fake reformers"
II was that demo-populist combine. and yet
leaders Of that outfit today have nerve
enough to sit back and sneeringly refer to
the republicans as fake reformers." We
give credit where credit is due and say
that the republicans have done what the
pOpulists and democrats should have done
years ago, and would II they were anything
but lot Of fake reformens."
Considering the source from which
these remarks come. they contain
more than ordinary significance. We
have no doubt but that they represent
the real views of the great body of in
dependent voters in Nebraska who
honestly enlisted under the reform
banner raised by the demo-pop com
bine. Most of those on whom party
ties sit lightly and who believe that
substance is better than shadow, per-
Torrance better than promise, will
prefer republican leadership, provided
only the republicans take no backward
stens
