Linen Gowns Are Nov the Vogue.

"rhere are so many different styles
in the linen gowns this summer that
this fact may be regarded as an i'm
portant new feature of the seasons $
NODES" writes Grace Margaret Gould
in Woman's Home Companion for
June, "There are linen gowns suit
able for almost every occasion, and
some of them, with their combin-
ations of Irish lace and artistic en-
broideries, are quite as elaborate as
the silk frocks. The linen frock with
the jumper waist having the large
armhoIe, and the skirt with fan
plaits, is very charming model,
and will look well made up in any of
the fancy linens. A scalloped edge
finishes both the opening OF the waist
and the skirt which is in the front.
''Many of the most fashionable Of
the hot-weather gowns are made Of
linen in dark shades. a dark blue
linen is used for the gown, which has
the waist band trimmed and made
with vest, and the skirt plated and
cut in seven cores. Lawn tucking In
white or pale tan is used for the vest
and the cuffs. The linen bands which
trim the gown may match the tuck
or be introduced in a shade darker

The matter of withdrawing coal
lands without the authority of con-
gress is going to be tested in the
courts. Department and executive
rulings are coming to take the place
of law in many matters concerning
government lands, and if we are to
have dictator ship the expense of
maintaining congress is unneces-
sary. The laws provide how coal and
other lands may be acquired. The
president nui!ifies the laws by an eX-
ecutive order. In exactly the same
position is the matter of collecting u
grazing tax. notwithstanding this,
an executive order puts the system
into effect and has maintained it thus
far.--Steamboat Pilot.

General Sherman Bell, who bore
the brunt of the odium cast on the
Peabody administration in connec-
with the Cripple Creek and Telluride
which are not calculated to cause the
average fair minded and honest citi-
zen to look with pride on the doings
of the Peabody administration.
Sherm Bell shows that the state

Mead Opposes the Roosevelt Policy.

Elwood Mead, through whom tine
Roosevelt Pinchot scheme of charg-
ing royalties for use of forest reserve
waters leaked out, is reported as OPP
posed to the scheme and in speaking
of the matter says:
''In my opinion as lawyer, the
government cannot exercise such
power in Colorado. 1t appears to me
that under the enabling act for our
territory, passed by congress, we
were given forever free to public APP
propriation,' the government water
for arid regions. On this ground we
may be able to prevent the consum-
nation of the plan announced by the
present administration. The frontier
never before has been used by the
government rs a matter of specula-
ton, of profit Mt the expense of in
dustry. Today the beef trust and the
ers' money, and now the government
has stepped in and is taking nearly
all the rest. The governmentiss is seem
ingly putting the last straw upon the
camels back, as it were, by charging
the cattlemcn from % to 80 cents n
head per year for cattle grazing upon
the public domain. 1t may be there
is some benefit in regulation of these
reserves; do not deny it. But many
hardships and injustice result in the
manner in which the federal admin
istratiOn is handling it. This is not
political matter 1t affects those of
all political faiths, and no attempt
should be made to force politics into
the. question. We do not want any
political advantage; we want justice.
Republicans and Democrats both will
demand from President Roosevelt the
relief which is needed. If we do not
get it from him we will do our best to
secure it neutrality-suspicious. in the
courts.

Charming Situation of Many

Lois.

John + Jerman. of Fairfax and Wien
ma. Va, has had q remarkable expert
ence in dealing in real estate in Virginia
He has always lived at Fairfax. and
until two year ago ran a farm as his
only occupation. At that time Mr.. Jer-
man conceived the notion that Virginia
had within its borders many farms,
villas country places and suburban
properties or which little was known 10
the country and of which even such
close neighbors as Washingtonians were
ignorant He figured that if this We're
true. It was only necessary TO let In the
light Of publicity in order TO attract
many buyers to old Virginia.
Mr.. JermIn sun runs the farm. but
ION the side" he has made rs sales OF
all kinds of property to people in all
parts Of the country as wei as here in
Washington. This is the result of using
liberal quantities OF printers ink both
for home and foreign consumption.
A Thousand Estates.
In the list of his properties he has over
LOO farms. country estates, houses. and
lots. tracts of land suitable for suburban
subdivision and other classes Of prop
erty. Most Of these are I'm Virginia, but
some also are further south and some
even I'm the West.
Northern and Western farmers ars
coming in large numbers and opening
up farms in Virginia. according TO AIr.
Jerman, and applying TO their cultiva-
ton the mcre advanced methods known
in the sections from which they come.
The genial climate of Virginia. the
longer open season. and. consequently,
the possibility of more frequent crops is
the attraction.
Mr. Jcrman's success is largely. due
also to ,he fact that he attends person
ally 10 each and every one of his clients.
His boast i2 that every sale he makes
proves highly satisfactory proposition
TO his customer
Beautifully Situated.
OF particular interest to Washington
ians are his properties ON the Falls
Church and Old Dominion lines IN
Fairfax. Vienna, BaIstOn Falls Church.
and other smaller places along both
lines he has many ideal homes. home
sites, and country places for sale. All
of these are very accessible TO Washing
ton. owing TO the excellent electric car
facilities. All are high above the city
and delightful views OF the city below
and of the winding Potomac are possible
from most of these properties Thar
they are growing rapidly IN popularity
among Washinetonians is attested 10y
the many new subdivisions that are
being opened and the greatly increased
traffic on the two suburban roads.
10 is safe 10 say that 81 Mr. Jerman
has been able TO make 125 sales i'm his
first TWO years as "a real estate operator
the next Two Will far exceed that record
