The "Arnold"
Baby Outfits.

nNOUR baby deserves the best

LIZ isfed appetite is the com
q fort of the little ones body
Tight-ftting bands and pinning
blankets, harsh, ill-ftting garments
Of muslin, cambria and flannel with
rough seams have no place in the
modern baby's wardrobe.
Arnold" Baby Outfits OF the soft
est knit fabric fit every curve of the
baby's body and allow absolute free
dom to all portions. Absorbent to
the fullest extent, the knit material is
the surest preventive of colds baby
can wear.
Then there's the mothers side
for Arnold outfits stand for SIM
plicity and common-sense methods.
The reduction of the number of the
pieces necessary for the complete
outfit reduces also the number OF
fastenings, so that only one pin is
used instead of fifteen, as in the out
of-date way of dressing babies. The
result? Comfort and health for
baby and saving of time and worry
for the mother.

Shocking Tales From Kingston.

1t will be we'll to go slowly in expressing
final judgment on the subject of the alleged
heartlessness of the English society people
in Jamaica at the time of the earthquake.
The stories told by refugees are, 1t is true,
circumstantial and apparently conf1rmatory.
but the utter lack of humanity on the part
of the men and women Of rank and posi-
ton which they indicate is SO shocking that
it is we'll to wait for full proof AT this
time there Is readiness to believe the
worst. Gov. Swettenham's stupid per-
Torrance has SO offended public sentiment
that these tales are likely to be taken at
face value as Indicative of characteristic
British lack of feeling for the unfortunates
1t is'unfair to condemn a whole people thus.
The men and women who it is charged,
dined and made merry while the wounded
were suffering for common comforts on
board their yacht, and who finally caused
the sufferers to be sent ashore because their
cries became annoying. must be rare ex-
ceptions. no more to be considered as typi-
cal of English society than Gov. Swetten-
ham is truly representative of the British
empire
If these tales are true, there seems to have
been at Kingston on the part Of the titled
and moneyed British celonists and visitors
strong prejudice against Americans;
This prejudice may have had an influence
in causing some heartlessness In the treat
ment of sufferers from this country during
the terrible hours following the disaster.
OF course the matter Is not properly sub
ject of official representations. The best
thing that can happen Is a complete ignor
Ing of the allegations that there was lack
of humane regard for those in pain or need
on the part of others who were In q POSI-
ton to be of assistance. II the guests on
board the Port Kingston acted with cruel
indifference to the requirements Of Christian
charity they are to be pitied for their utter
lack of heart. They will ultimately pay a
heavy penalty for their caliousness, for
their names are of record and their con-
duct will doubtless be thoroughly exploited
at home. where just at present the senti-
ment of the people is by no means lenient
toward such offenses. 1t is hard enough
for the British public to suffer the humilia
ton of Swettenham without having to
endure the shame that now seems to be
threatened by these tales of brutal indiffer-
ence to human agony. .

wheng In Tennessee In particular does the
party of Parson Brownlow resent eulogy Of
the Union cause, and an expression of
qualification at its triumph? How that
tameless and tireless old fighter would de-
nOunce. the bare suggestion! He was a
southern republican after Mr.. Lincoin's own
heart. and opposed secession, and after
wards supported the Union cause, with all
his might.
Here may be seen somebody trying to
play presidential politics with the Browns
Vile matter. Mr.. Foraker's October speech
on another subject Is a mere pretext. The
object is to bring the Ohio senator under
a general fire. In the north he Is berated
as a trust champion; in the south now as
a dIsturber of the peace. And so the people
are asked to blacklist him, and defeat his
suspected presidential aspirations.
One may Imagine Mr.. Foraker serene unl
der such attacks. or, II moved at all. only
to amusement. There Is not a term in the
White House on either side of the Browns
willie affair. And as for the delegates from
the lower southern states to the next re-
publican national convention. they would
not be a tower of strength II marshaled I'M
der one banner in that body. Since 1895.
when those delegates last figured In presi-
Dental calculations. the political situation
In the lower south has come to show the re-
publican party there completely helpless.
its voters barred from the polls and nothing
remaining but a form OF organization whose
uses are confined to the distribution of fed
eral patronage. Permit those men to nomf-
nate a candidate for the north, east and
west to elect? The republican party at this
day Is not capable of such folly. 1t Is
fighting organization, and next year may
find it necessary to put up one Of the best
fights of its existence

Bailey.

Mr.. Bailey's reelection had been foreshad-
owed and 1t may have an influence on the
Investigation now in progress. But the In
vestigation will proceed, and should be
thorough. So much Is due both to the pub
lie and to the senator. The charges are
specific. and those who bring them offer
proof. II the legislative committee shall
decide that they are sustained Mr.. Bailey
will resign. If, on the other hand. the
committee finds for Mr.. Bailey, will his
opponents fulfill their threat and follow
him here? The country is genuinely con-
cerned. for the future of very able and
attractive man is in the scale. More than
any other man Of his years In his party, Mr.
Bailey possesses an equipment for analysis
and statement which is of the greatest
value in political life. and his enforced re-
tirement at this time in the circumstances
confronting him would cause a profound
sensation.

An Appeal to the Rodents.
From the New York Sun.

from the New York sun.
Into the seething whirlpool of discus
sion Of the race question, of the constitu-
tional and statutory powers of the ex-
ecutive. and a most deplorable mass of
personalities there is now thrown a re-
markable charge. 1t Is that this attempt
to open some court Of justice to men who
may be the victims of an unintentional
injustice Is blow aimed at the executive
by the trusts and the corporate interests
supposed to have been injured or offended
by the policies Of the President. It is
doubtful II better reply to this charge
can be made than that Of the Washington
Star Of January Fl. In an article headed
Tho Baby Act and Brownsville" the
Washington newspaper says:
There Is one word that fits this con-
tention like a glove 1t is short and
racy Of the street. Lacking the approval
of the drawing room, Dis also of the study.
1t yet carries q meaning so forcible and
comprehensive it may in time become a
classic. Rats"

The United States and Canada

In closing his address al the Ottawa
banquet. Mr. Root lifting his glass said:
II ask my friends to drink this toast to
the Canadian settlers VINO are going to
New England, and to the American set
tiers who are focking to the Canadian
northwest: May they ever. with loyal
memory. do honor to the lands of their
birth; may they all he loyal citizens and
do Gods service to the country oil their
adoption
No better sentiment could have been Of
fered. and it is certain CT Endorsement on
both sides the line.
In considering the relations between the
United States and Canada too little atten-
ton as rule is paid to this feature of the
question. We have many citizens of Ca
madam birth. and there arc many Canadian
citizens of American birth The number
of the latter has increased amazingly with
In the past decade. With keen eye for
rich land and agricultural possibilities.
American farmers living in the northwest
began casting their glances some years
ago on neighboring Canada newly settled,
and seeing that IL was good they began
to move across the border and occupy it.
The American colony in that quarter Is to-
day very large. and IL continues to grow.
These men. though influenced in the
change of base by considerations of thrift.
have not forgotten, and will not forget,
their old home and its associations. They
love America still. though in material in
terests they now Canadians. The
change was not radical. They did not
forsake bad government for good. They
did not run from tyranny to freedom. In
deed. they probably found little difference
between the political conditions they had
left and those they now conformed to.
While Canadians therefore by adoption.
they are Americans by training. and the
influence of their training will show within
the area of their activity.
These men are not numerous enough to
Americanize Canada, but they will con-
tribute toward good feeling at all times be-
tween the two countries They cannot be
made the tools of agitators seeking to en-
broil the two countries. Their knowledge
of their old home and their interest in the
new Will make of them force for con-
servatism and peace. The stars and stripes
and the union jack will intertwine we'll to-
gether in their sight until the time-which
may not be a century ds;ant-when Canada
has a flag of her own, or when the stars
and stripes will be considered sufficient for
the whole business
OF war. of course, there is neither thought
nor probability Peace will continue to be
the word: and ninety years of peace should
convince us all that only the most extraor-
binary chain of circumstances would avail
TO disturb relations which have done much
for both countries, and while they last will
do very much more.
Mr.. Roots visit will have the good re-
suits expected. and it is another feather in
his official cap.
