A POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITY.

Addressing a Kentucky audience
people of a state immovably Demo
cratic, apparently, in their politics
Secretary of War Taft asked at Lex
ington Now, is it not time for a
highly-intelligent, manly electorate
to commune with itself and to say
to itself that the period has arrived
in which by Independent action at the
polls it shall establish its right to be
considered by both parties as fac
tor in making up national policies,
and in selecting national candidates?
The Republican party, in so far as
a majority of the members of it can
be properly scheduled in the matter
of their political opinions, has never
as yet felt the necessity of asserting
itself militantly for securing support
in the states "below the line; it mas
uniformly opposed everything that
looked like support of southern senti-
ment or southern policies. But the
time has obviously arrived when a
between-the-lines state like Kentucky
can well afford to renounce the policy
that puts the fear of negro domina-
ton at the forefront as a political is
sue. Non-inuelligence can never rule
Kentucky And if her electorate
would only once divide nationally on
political questions, assert itself as for
or against the policies that are being
pushed by the Roosevelt administra-
ton, it would blaze the way for a
breaking-up of the solid SOUTH
The Democratic party has, at the
moment, no strong man to present as
a candidate for president of the Unit
ed States. The Republican party has
a choice between two-or, possibly,
three-men who are accounted
"availables'' but who are admired on
ly by those citizens who would like
to see important business interests
knocked and the values of securi-
ties in all incorporated enterprises
cut down to ''the lowest common de-
nominator.
Is it not possible that the South
has some man of presidential caliber
whose nomination by either the Re-
publican or the Democratic party
would attract general support and
thus destroy the vicious sentiment

CONTINUES TICKLISH.

The situation in Alabama contin-
ues to be ticklish and the railroad
men and the state officials are each
a little uncertain as to the others es-
Gaping arrest and imprisonment.
While the railroaders listen to threats
of arrest by the state officials, those
officials tremblingly observe the
handwriting on the wall executed by
Thomas G. Jones, of the United States
court. A railroad delegation waited
on Judge Jones and asked as to their
recourse in case of threatened arrest
by the state. The judge, after de-
nouncing any such possible proceed
ings as an entirely unnecessary in
dignity to the individual laborer,
said: "In view of the threats that
have been publicly made. it is emin-
emily right, and may save trouble for
me to say to you now, as | do say,
that if you are arrested you will be
Immediately released on habeaus cor
pus and the officer making the arrest
in contempt of the orders of this
court will be severely punished so
that he will remember it for long
time This is in line with Judge
Jones' charge to the federal grand
jury last Wednesday, when he read
to that body the United States stat
ute providing severe punishment not
only for every person interfering
with the processes of a federal court
but for any person who ''corruptly or
by threats or force endeavors to in
/ fiuence, intimidate, or impede any
witness or officer in any court of the
United States in the discharge of his
j duties, or corruptly or by force or
threats obstructs or impedes or en-
/ deavors to obstruct or impede the
/ due administration of justice" In
/ his charge the court plainly stated
i that the jury would be detained in
session for some time in view of pos
sible overt acts threatened by the pre-
/ tended friends of Alabama "home
rule" So local hysteria continues
i to batter its head against the federal
wall-and the end is assured.

WILL SEEK IT'S LEVEL.

1t is a recognized fact in economic
science that money, like water, fol-
lows the line of least resistance or
follows the power of greatest attrac-
ton. The secretary of the treasury,
for instance, may deposit money in
Omaha or San Francisco and if the
demand for it is more pressing in
New York, if there be a surplus in
the western cities and a vacuum in
the east the money will flow into the
vacuum.
Undoubtedly Instructions, artificial
and temporary, may be imposed to
this movement of money, or the
forces drawing it may be for the time
strengthened by artificial processes,
but these cannot be long maintained.
The natural forces of industry and
commerce are greater than all legal
barriers or commercial combinations.
Just now the Bank of England,
somewhat timid, with a reserve of 81
per cent in it's vaults. arbitrarily ad-
vances the rate of interest, not be-
cause it believes that cheap money
in London would draw gold in New
York.
Undoubtedly it would. 1t would
soon establish an equilibrium be-
equilibrium will in time be establish
ed. The Bank of England cannot re-
sist it save temporarily In COM
merce the greatest influences are not
worked by sympathy or national
pride or local selfishness. If Eng
land wants cotton she must send gold
for it. The laws that control are
universal laws when commerce is
universal. An artificial barrier like
the tariff compels the blowing out
of new channels and fluctuatine
standard of values, double standard
in money disturbs the currency and
impairs confidence and credit which
are the foundations of commerce.
But in time production and eX-
change soon lift commerce above all
barriers and correct all errors. The
thing for the government to do is to
put into the channels of commerce as
few distractions as possible.

HELPS THE LINGERIE DRESS.
Ribbon Run Through Beading Has
Charming Effect.

Nowadays the lingerie dress has
done away with the unsightly safety
pin that used to keep the skirt and
waist together, and most of them are
put together at the waist line with
piece of insertion or some other trim
ming. But most popular of all for
the tall girl who wants to outline her
waist is a piece of beading thrSugh
which is run soft ribbon about two
inches wide. At the left side of the
waist is put full bow, with two short
ends tackled up on the waist and e.
couple of leng loops and ends falling
down over the skirt. Finish the
sleeves in the same manner and run
the ribbon through the beading, fin
ished at the top OF the elbow with a

PURELY FEMININE

for instance, little-known fact that
the slanting Mongolian eyes are really
perfectly straight. 1t is only the
formation of the skin surrounding the
eye. accentuated by the extremely
slanting eyebrow. that gives this de-
ceptive appearance.
1t is easy to see, therefore, why
the beauty of the eyebrows is of inn
portance to her who would aspire to
good looks in any form. 1t is neces-
sary that she keep them in good con-
dition, fostering any good feature they
may possess and correcting whatever
faults they have She should first of
all consider just what shape, thick
ness, ETC., of the eyebrows would con-
stitute beauty. and then devote her
self to the reaching of that point.
The perfect eyebrow is in form an
arch, not too high, yet distinctly
curved. 1t should be rather thick
than thin, yet excessive thickness is
the worst defect it could show. The
two eyebrows should be perfectly dis
tinct, with not even one hair between
them, and yet not so far apart as to
show poor mental caliber. They
should be of shade slightly darker
than the hair, but not noticeably so.
Finally, they should match the color
Of the lashes exactly.
Perhaps the most common fault is
excessive thickness of the brows, ac-
companied by number of wild hairs.
There is but one cure for this condi.
tion-removal with pair of tweezers.
The operation causes no more pain
than when a hair is pulled from the
head, and may be performed by ones
self. Use ordinary small tweezers,
such as physicians employ to pick up
surgical cotton, and pull out one hair
at time, taking care that each really
comes out, and is not simply broken
off.
OF course, this treatment will not
destroy the hair follicles, but with
perseverance these, too, will CO. and
the hairs will appear no more. II
any itching or smarting is felt after
the pulling, apply little cold cream,
but remove as soon as the pain
ceases, as otherwise you defeat your

Then his eyes widened and met mine
