THE FLIP FLOP DELEGATION.
(Cedar Falls Gazettel

The Iowa delegation at the national
republican convention most strenuous
| ly opposed the nomination of Senator
Dolliver for vice president because his
nomination would favor Governor
! Cummins, and when the boom was
started for the governor, the opposition
on the part of the delegation was as
marked and even more bitter. This ac-
ton seemed perfectly natural under the
circumstances and no one was sur
prised. The delegation was basing its
action on the fact that for years the
republican party In Iowa had been try
ing to weaken the influence of the gov
ernor, and upon the fact that after a
long and bitter struggle between the
factions Cummins was down and out
and that it was the will of the people
that he remain down and out and they
were but executing the sentence passed
by the people of Iowa. After taking a
firm stand along these lines, the dele
cation finally weakens and gives Cum
Minis it's unanimous support for vice
president. The cause for this weakness
may but be conjectured, but the result
and consequences are definite and GER
tain it is a full and complete reinstate-
ment of Governor Cummins. and is an
admission that he Is worthy of the
honors he sought, and If he is worthy
of the position of vice president, he
could not be disgrace as a senator or
governor. These same men opposed him
as governor and as s~A@ator on account
Of his alleged unworthiness, because on
account Of his political record he would
not be a credit to the state. In giving
their support to him for vice president,
they apparently stultify themselves,
they admit that their former estimate
of the man was wrong or that they
were not prompted by the best motives
when they decided to recommend him
to the people of this nation as ft
man for their vice president. In any
event they have reinstated him and are
now precluded from declaring him I'M
worthy of any political honor he may
seek in the future. These criticisms
may be somewhat severe, but those to
whom they are directed are entitled to
make an explanation to their constit-
uents which they were supposed to
represent at the national convention,
and If we have drawn wrong infer
ences, we are ready to correct them,
but in the meantime we must, by vir-
tue of their suggestions, entertain as
much respect for governor Cummins as
for those who refused to stand pat.

A MAN MEAN TO HIS CHICKENS.
(Belle Piaine JJnion)

IBVIIG 1lHIlIe UHIUII
A man in the northern part of the
state is raising chickens and obtaining
money under false pretenses. He made
his hen coop air tight and put curtains
at the windows At noon he draws the
curtains. making the hen house per-
fectly dark, so that the biddes go to
roost, and at 1 o'clock he raises the
curtains, letting the light in. The hens
think another day has dawned and pro-
coed to lay another egg. It's a mean
trick and equal to the man who put
green spectacles on the horse and fat
tened it on rye straw. The green spec
tacles made the poor horse think 1t
was hay.

a great deal seen. And in blue there

TIRED OF RUFFLES
REACTION AGAINST ELABORATE
DECORATION OF UNDERWEAR.
Strong Probability That Trimmings of
valenciennes Lace and Pink Rib
hons Will Soon Be Thing
of the Past.

Give me lingerie that is buttonless.
ribboniess, laceiess and laundry proof"
exclaimed an eminently practical
young woman. I'm tired of dancing
attendance on my underwear. Life is
too short Many other women have
come to the same conclusion since the
extraordinary run OF Val. lace and
pink ribbons, which began with the
lingerie waist fad. Every laundering
means solid hour of mending torn
lace, patching ruffles and running in
ribbons, until women who have any
thing else in the world to think of be-
sides the f1uffness Of underwear that
never shows anyway, are giving it up.
This reaction happened Just at the
time of the mo hips" fashion, when
everything that increases ones size is
reduced to a minimum, and the result
is the plain embroidered underwear.
Many women are even abandoning the
dainty nainsook which they always
considered a necessity of well-bred
life, for long cloth. This stocky ma
terial isn't SO soft and pretty as the
nainsook, but it is much finer than
ordinary cotton cloth, and wears fully
as well. It's said by some to stand the
attacks of steam laundry better than
anything else yet found Some women
who will be dainty at any cost have
compromised by using cambric. This
is especially good for long white petit
coats. as it takes starch beautifully.
AS for trimmings. primeval simplici-
ty, in effect, at least reigns supreme.
No more fluffy shoulder ruffles and
frills down the front. The very incest
underwear shows either the fine EN-
brOidery or insertion and embroidery
combined, and everything is put on
fiat. For everyday wear nothing lasts
SO well as the buttonholed edges and
French satin stitched flowers. Women
who never did any hand work on their
underwear before are doing this work
now instead of setting on lace.
Il think it takes less time in the end
than continually mending fine lace"
said one woman. Some who begrudge
even this time on things that don't
show trim their underwear wholly with
narrow linen lace, which stands laun-
dering as though it were made of cast
iron. This lace costs bit more than
lasts at least three times as long.
In giving up ribbon-trimmed under
year, except for very best wear. many
busy women have found a substitute In
narrow linen tape. This can stay in
during the trips to the laundry and
