WANTED A JIM CROW PARADE

Ohio went for Taft by a hundred
thousand or more The negro voters
apparently forgot all about Browns
vile, Foraker and his troubles, and
any and all other grievances, and
lined up to a man behind the banner
of Republicanism
Naturally the negro voters wanted
to participate in the celebration and
get in line for the distribution of the
small jobs that are always more or
less scattered after a national vic
tory.
But the color line was drawn on
them at Steubenyille. When the
night Of the demonstration came, the
white voters who had yelled them
selves hoarse for Taft during the
campaign, and stormed the polls on
election day in his behalf insisted
that if the negroes wanted to parade
they must get to the rear and stay
there
The managers, remembering how
awfully sensitive the Ohio negroes
have become, decided that the bro
Their in black was entitled to the place
of honor in front When they so
ordered the white voters disbanded
and Steubenville was treated to Re-
publican demonstration with no white
trimmings.
Something is going to happen up
In Ohio one of these days.

QUEER MORALS IN NEW ORLEANS

Ex-President Adler, charged with
looting the State National Bank OF
New Orleans, who subsequently char
tered steamer and carried off a
cargo of goods to Honduras to pre-
vent his creditors from attaching
them, came back to the city in Gus
tody Monday.
A crowd of several thousand met
the returning prisoner at the levee
and received him with cheers. AT
the Mayors Office several prominent
citizens were awaiting to sign his
bond.
Adler was clearly the hero of the
hour.
One wonders what sort of moral
ideas they have down in that city
when such a man, with such rec
ord, is received with open hands.
showered with good wishes, extended
one might say, the hospitality and
freedom of the municipality and
made to feel that it is highly com
mendable thing to break banks and
defraud creditors.
Evidences accumulate that the one
thing this country needs more than
anything else is crusade on the
line of the restoration of personal
probity and the inculcation of higher
ideals in the public mind.
A few Morse sentences may have a
good effect in that direction.

THE DIVISION OF TEXAS.

A division of Texas into two states
is proposed. The territory west of
the Pecos river has been suggested
as adequate for new commonwealth.
1t is about equal in area to Mary
land.
Texas will doubtless resent the
suggestion. State pride is intense
and although it is recognized that the
states bulk is enormous the people
would probably prefer to keep it in
tact.
The South and the Democratic par
ty might well hail such division with
pleasure, giving, as it would, two
more Democratic Senators. But the
idea suggests itself, If the state is to
be divided why not do it scientifical-
" and make three or four states out
of it? It is enormous as now con-
stituted and three large states could
easily be carved out Of its sur
face.
A Republican senate would doubt
less not stand for the admission of
one or two Democratic states, but
the agitation Of the question is not
bad. We may have a Democratic
House and Senate a few years hence
and everything might be shaped up
IN advance for that time.

FIGURE WORRIES
MODERN WOMAN
COrSetierS Have Season of
Their Lives.

New York, Nov. lot is almost
useless to try to get women more in
terested in clothes than in the fig
ure. The corsetieres are having their
innings There has never been such
a season. They are consulted be-
fore dressmaker and tailor
Even with this immense rush of
trade toward them with their purses
filling up rapidly, they woefully wish
that the ordinary figure was back in
style. A few of them sigh for the
vogue of the fat woman
One well-known corsetiere yehem-
emily declares that she hopes a fat
woman with a large waist and hips
will set the styles in Paris for the
year 1909
Her tales of the walls of the wo-
men in her place are laughable and
distressing Hundreds go to her
in order to get the right corset
and the correct figure before they
think of having a gown made.
They take up hours of her time
They insist that, weighing $50 pounds
they should be made to look like
sylphs.
They cannot understand why she
is in the business unless she can
achieve the result for them they wish.
They want flat hips. That is the
first demand. This is easier to grant
than the second demand, which is
that the waist shall be as small
as it was when it was laced
Nothing can make them understand
that this is anatomically impossible
A woman must either have large
waist and flat hips or the reverse,
if she has been so unfortunate as to-
gain too much flesh.
It is only the women who are per-
fectly formed who have the long,
slender waist and flat hips to begin

A BLOW AT LIBERTY.

The killing on Monday of Ex-Sen-
ator Carmack, editor of the Nashville
Tennesseean, sent thrill of horror
over the state, the South and the
nation. His assassination was ID
blow aimed at the liberty of the
press to criticise politicians for their
acts The father of the young man
who actually fired the fatal shots
had been charged with being a part
of a political ring. 1t was not denied
that he was associated with the men
designated as part of the machine,
hence it was not case of mistaken
identity. 1t will be a gloomy day
for the nation when the liberty of
the press to thus criticise those who
attempt to run a state is menaced by
the threat that the man who dares
boldly attack what he believes to be
evil takes his life in his hands. 1t is
to be hoped that the people of Ten
nessee will by an overwhelming pub
lie opinion force full punishment to
the slayer Something more is al
stake than the life of even a dis
|tinguished citizen The right OF the
people. through the public press, tc
question motives and to expose wrong
doing is by far the most powerful
weapon which the people have against
official wrong doing. Amy browbeat-
ing should be quickly and conclusive
ly rebuked
i Senator Carmack was man among
men, who by his intellectual prov
ess lowered above his fellows. His
death removes a national figure, ant
one whom the future apparently hat
muchsin store for.

Then last spring Mrs Charles Smith
died. 1t was not long after she was
buried that Charles Smiths atten-
tons to his brothers wife became
the subject of talk in their neighbor-
hood During the summer the gos-

both left town. Joseph complained
and the officers followed them to the

with.
When stout woman is laced into
modern corset which, with it's long
coutile bands, holds in the flesh over
the hips, she admires herself until
she sees the way the waist begins
to grow larger Then comes the
real tussle between her and the cor
setiere
She wants flat hops and a tiny
waist. She can't get them and the
corsetiere won't let her have them.
Then she either submits to her fate
with tears and signs, or she indig-
nantly goes to another corset place.
1t is true that he high wasted
skirt and the straight princess gown
look better when the fabric can fall
easily away from half-revealed
slender waist, but it is not a necessi-
ty of style to reveal a little waist.
The woman who is frankly twenty
eight inches or more above a pair
of flat, long, well-laced hips is not
only comfortable, but she is fashion,
able
The high-waisted skirt, which is
still in style, is for her as we'll as
for her slender sister There is a
good deal of talk abbut this garment
at present Dressmakers have taken
sides for and against it. As rule
the women like it.
When the skirt is extra high
wasted a regular corselet of this
betting is made which keeps the
whole figure from bust to hips in
smooth rounded lines
One thing is certain; that whether
or not woman cares to wear one OF
the extra high-waisted skirts, she
looks well in one that carries it's
own girdle
These skirts are cut from two to
three inches above the normal waist
line, have a seam down front, and
straight ones on the side The top
edge is we'll stitched or bound. The
lining under this must be tight-fit-
ting. if there is one; if there is not,
the girdle or betting should take its
place
There is a wide tendency to avoid
any skirt lining for a street ffock.
Women are delighted about this
fashion. for it saves from So to SIS
on a cloth suit.
