sartorial matters.
''The Germans do good work. but have
little artistic merit As makers of mems
clothes the French are failure which IS
strange. considering that the most superb
feminine toilettes in the world aye evolved
in Paris. There are no good tailors in
Italy or Spain. according 10 our Yankee
standard. and Russia Is also far behind as.
Now, while the English tailor Is not

A North Carolina gentleman who is
warmly welcomed at the Capital is Judge
Spencer 3. Adams. Of Greensboro. who
was seen at The Ra.eigh yesterday. AT

Republican party for years. and has been
chosen both as the candidate Of that party

''The other day remembering some eX-
peTieGces Of nay juvenile days I went into
my smokehOUse. and building a fire Of
cOrncobs, exulted in watching the smoke
curl among a lot Of hams suspended from
the rafters. It pleased me more TO engage
in curing that meat from hogs of my own
raising than 10 try a lawsuit OF sit on the
bench. Some Of these days ] am going TO

There Is no doubt that the governor
of New York is showing himself "a fear
less man and that he is going TO give
an excellent administration said Mr..
Eugene Lewis. one Of the leading practi-
TONERS Of the New York City bar at the
New Willard.
AS Gov Hughes was formerly in my
law firm. I know him well, and have
! high appreciation of hls merit and ability.
But he is making such radical departure
/ from the course that his predecessors
/ followed that good deal Of anxiety and
criticism have developed on the part Of
many conscientious Republicans. These
men are asking what viii become Of the
/ party if the governor persists Iu ignoring
/ the recommendations Of the party leaders.
If the followers see that their leaders
I have no influence, and that their counsel
/ is rejected, the prestige OF the leaders is
gone, the organization becomes democrat
/ lied, and disintegrati0n and decay are
/ bound 10 eusue.
I This chiefly concerns men VINO believe
/ in party politics. but this is government
4 by parties, and as the success of parties
/ is dependent on efficient organization, if
/ the latter is disrupted a chaotic situation
/ is inevitable That Is the reason that
/ Gov. Hughes has put 30 many people on
/ the anxious seat. They are wondering
what will be the result Of the innovation,
/ and what will happen after he is through
with his official work

! When I was boy away back on a farm
lin Indiana. one of the most detesJed duties

was no reason why some of the hired men
