election to issue bonds to build a

The sentiment against municipal

LINEN POCKET BOOK
WHITE MATERIAL IS BEST FOR
 THIS DESIGN.

 Pretty Trinket.


 Linen is coming more and more into favor as a material for small articles, and calendars, desk sets, purses, bags and many other such things are seen in the art needlework stores and their popularity is due to its strength and its neat and fresh appearance. A design for a linen pocket book is shown in the drawing. which might very easily be carried out by the home worker at small cost, white linen being used as material. The pocket book was embroidered with white embroidery cotton in tre- foil pattern. round dots also being set on at regular intervals. A double line of the embroidery cotton formed the border.
 Another style of pocket book is an exact copy of the popular strap pock- ct book, with handle on the back. which may be slipped over the fingers. When finished 1t should be seven inches wide and four and a quarter deep. The strips should be about 12 inches long to bring this siEe when finished. The strips are folded up much like an envelope with the turnedover flap coming to within an inch of the bottom of the pocket The foundation for the purse is made of heavy white canvas. cut just like the linen covering except for the flap.

MONDAY, AUGUST IF, 1907.

That the victory of tariff revision is the plainest message now on the political sign board can be told by the actions of members even of the republican party, which is responsi- ble for that iniquity, says a Wash ington writer. In Ohio MT Taft, the revisionist, has thus far beaten at every point Senator Foraker. who stands as the exponent of high tariff ideas. In Iowa Governor Cummins practically drove Secretary Shaw. the stand-patter, out of public life, and has forced even the wary Allison to say in his customary cautious man. her that before so very long the tariff must be revised. The fight against monopoly in private hands, railroad extortions and aggressions and the robber tariff is we'll under way. But will the people commit its leadership to the generals in that party which has been responsible for all three evils?

HEARD IN PASSING.

The Sherman antitrust law is now said to be unavoidable" There seems to be no way for the republican lead CTS to make trust unavoidable, how ever.
 Senator Foracker stands pat and calls upon the trust ridden republi- can voters of Ohio to continue to let the tariff projected corporations plum der them.
 All trusts are bad trusts, because the very object of every trust is to re- strain trade, and thereby extort un- fair prices from the consumers of trust made goods. One might as we'll talk about good thieves as good trusts.
 It was happy thought of that North Carolina judge to put law breaking railroad officials in the chain gang. It worked like a charm, and now the presidents admirers are won dering why he never suggested it as a mode of trust busting.
 Speaker Cannon says he Is not a candidate for president. but then yon know Uncle Joe is sly-devilish sly and perhaps does not care to give "the boys" an excuse from busting him from the speakership. Uncle Joe be- lieves in the old flag and an appro- priation," and that bird in hand is worth two in the political bushes. i. Governor Hoke Smith of Georgia, wants higher tax on the property of the railroads. He believes that when the agents of roads swear in court that their property is worth sum twice or three times as great as its assessed value, there is something wrong. Every railroad should have its value ascertained and be. taxed ac- cordingly. p"ice Gis'is%
 Tom Lawson having made his peace, it is reported, with the frenzied flnan- ciers. has taken up republican poli- tics, and declares President Roose- welt is bound to be reelected. If MT Lawson's political tip is not better than his advices to his stock gambling friends, Roosevelt will be as badly left in the shuttle as Lawson's friends have been.
 secretary Root, "the only smart man in the cabinet,' virtually confesses be is at his wits end to enforce the trust protecting tariff. without serious dis agreement with foreign countries. For he has had to resurrect an old stat ute that allows the president to bar out foreign goods of nations that dis criminate against us. If that law is put into effect, up Will go trust prices again.
 Former senator Carmack declares that be would sooner be a justice of the peace. or school commissioner with something to do than vice-president. who had nothing to do but look wise and draw his salary. The friends of Senator Carmack think he is of presl- dential caliber. and if he would say the word, declare they would give him the vote of Tennessee in the national democratic convention.

 With When a Boy.

Fourteen years ago Mack Miller, a Danville street car man, then a lad IS years old, stood staring at the flaming four sheets announeing the coming of a circus to his home town Bristol, Va.-Tenn. But it was of no use; his parents had said he should not see the "Dens of Roaring Lions," the Sisters and Brothers Tivelli, the Greatest Aerial Perform CTS of the Age; ..Nimbo, the Two Headed Man: the Thrilling Bare back Rider. Mile Melisse, just en- gagged for another season at a salary of $500 a day." and all the other "thrillers" which made dear to the heart of a boy of Is any old circus, whether good or bad. So Mack sighed and went on his way to do the errand on which his mother had sent him. He resolved to face the disap- pointment like little man.
 Two blocks further on Mack heard the sound of bugle, and he ran "spang'' into the glittering pageant" the circus parade. That settled 1t. But how? The boy had no money. Then he thought of the pocketpieee given him by his mother. dollar minted the year of his birth. There are thousands, doubtless, old CT than Mack. who could finish the story, at least the circus end of it. Mack's pocketpiece dollar went for bit of pasteboard and some small change, and that. in the natural course of things. went for the ''trimmin' 's"-red lemonade and peanuts-for the red lemonade was no joke then--it was red.
 To-day Mack was pulling the fare cord on his car when a statuesque blonde handed him silver dollar. Fare" she said in tones which didn't gee with the August sun.
 That's my dollar" said Mack, half to himself. half aloud.
 "Sir-r-r." came from the stat uesque blonde.
 Beg pardon" said he Chester fieldian con" "I mean it was mine and it will be again" And because he was 60 happy Mack told the pas senger the story of the dollar: how he cut his initials on it years and years ago. in a state line town, and also put his private mark on 1t: how he had looked longingiy at the circus bill boards. of his resolution, and thus his fall. and lastly. now that he had possession of the dollar. which. after an absence of fourteen years. in some mysterious manner had travelled 100 miles to meet him, that he wouldn't part with 1t again for a $50 note. not even for circus and the pleasure of seeing Nile Melisse. the thrilling bareback rider. just en- gagged for another season at a salary of $500 day. nor yet the lemonade which Is red nor the accompanying peznuts.-Indianapolis News

tan Island south of Fulton street. That seems to be the bluest spot on earth just now. Many of our great corporation leaders are much dis turbed and displeased at the recent activity of government and state off, cials. For this they can hardly be blamed, since not a few state attacks are indiscriminate and i'll judged. Nevertheless, an era of reform in corporation management has already begun, the effect of which will ulti- mately be beneficial to stockholders and will do much towards removing the political and social discomfort which has been rising in a threaten ing degree for several years past. There is the best of reason for stat ing that the federal government has no trust smashing" policy in view. There has been much exaggeration as to the intentions of the govern ment in this respect, and all that is likely to be enforced so far as can be ascertained is a quiet but firm policy of compelling the great corporations to obey the law equally with the humblest citizens. Of course, there is more or less public hysteria con nected with these movements, but this in time will disappear, and the results of past agitation will unques- tionably leave us with permanently higher standards of corporate man agement and responsibility.

In the organization of a 'woman's club flor promoting the lost art of conversation" the limit of daring would seem to have been reached. Women do not know how to talk nowadays" says the founder of the organization, Chicago matron. All her talk is on domestic topics. Mans talk is about dollars and base ball, and there is little hope of reforming him. The restoring of the polite art of conversation must come about through the efforts of the women." At the first meeting of the new club a conversation contest" was held. Without any bridge whist or piano soloists, which afforded the custom ary stimuli for conversation in fash ionable circles, the aspirants for con versational honors entered the race. The women were seated in pairs at small tables, according to an eye witness of the thrilling affair. On each table was a written memoran- dunn of the subject to be discussed by the couple seated thereat, and each couple was allowed five min utes. There were five participants and twenty-five subjects, ranging from Japanese art to The Hague peace conference. A surviving re- porter says that when the gong sounded he never heard anything like it before, and hopes he never will again. .-. -..

There is one judge in the state of Colorado who enjoys the confidence of the American people in a very un- usual degree. says one writer in dis cussing the recent Haywood verdict. Judge Lindsey of Denver. by his re- markable success as judge of the juvenile court, has given evidence of high character and unusual ability in dealing with men and boys. But he uses language about his own state which an outsider would hardly care to employ. Colorado" he says. lis politically rotten, and getting con- stantly worse. As a state it is ab- solutely in the hands of the criminal rich. Now I am no opponent of men who make their money honestly; but these men have stolen their riches from the people, and by crimes more far-reaching than those of Mover and Haywood, if the charges against them be true. have outraged the very prin- ciples of government. Their crimes are driving the people of both parties into socialism and anarchy" He proceeds to make specific charges with reference to individuals among
 the criminal rich" which need not be quoted. but which the persons mentioned hardly can afford to ig- nore. He adds: But what can be done to get such men into the peni- tentiary when they own the legisls. ture. both parties. many of the ju- dietary, and the press Of the state?"
