now necessary to strike a happy mean
between the aforesaid fare and The
uncomfortable sinking in around the
feet which is so Objectionable in a
petticoat. A good way in which to
achieve this happy compromise is to
have the foundation of the skirt-that
is the lower edge-made of material
that has some body, such as a soft
taffeta, and the trimming If IL be in
the shape of flounce, made of softer
material-lace, chiffon or an inter-
mingling of both. Satin is. of course,
softer than taffeta. and the flounce
may also be made of soft satin, al
though lingerie and chiffon founces
are even more fashionable.
Satin petticoats for evening wear
are made with hounces of net trimmed
with fi,et lace, or the flounces instead
of being trimmed with lace, have pat
| tern formed of narrow satin or velvet
ribbon made on the lace A very effec'
tive pattern made on flounce of open
net was of squares or blocks, the rib
bon being made into a lattice work
to make the blocks. Blocks of net
so trimmed alternate with those OF the
plain net.
Other skirts having net or chiffon
hounces were trimmed with embroid-
cry done in narrow ribbon. This is

1t is also a fashion of the moment
to trim brocade potticoats with floun
ces of net having an applique decora
tion which has been cut from the bro

Petticoats for street wear are made
with very soft houncCs trimmed with
self-colored embroidery. They match
the skirt in every instance except
when black is worn, and then some
times black and white underskirts
are used.

ties the stalks is worked partly with

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SOUTHERN
REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS.

1t looks as if the Southern Senators we're
lured into desertion Of their traditional
opposition to subsidies and bounties in this
case by the fact that the South for one time
gets part Of the benefit. All the more honor
to them therefore if our Southern Represen-
tat1ves shall now scorn the Greeks bearing
gifts and fight the subsidy to finish. Take
away your artificial restriction forbidding the
purchase Of ships in the cheapest market and
you will not need to go into the public treasury
for subsidies. 1t all illustrates the old
doctrine Of Emerson
'The basis of political economy is non
interference The only safe rule is found in
the self-adjusting meter Of demand and sup
ply. DO not legislate. NEEDLE, and you snap
the slnews with your sumptuary laws Give
no bounties; make equal laws, secure life and
property, and you need not give aims. -

water supply in aid of navigation of the
Tennessee and Ohio Rivers especially, as a
means Of preventing the destruction of great
bodies of agricultural lands by foods, and as
a means Of preserving in the lesser streams
sufficient water power to operate industrial
and manufacturing plants now located and
hereafter to be located The speaker in the
course of his address gave the results of his
personal observations at different periods, first,
prior to 1887, when the Appalachian range
between Asheville, N. c., and the Virginia
state line was an almost unbroken primeval
forest, and, second, twenty years afterwards
when considerable areas had been entirely
denuded Of timber growths, and told Of the
seriously bad effects the destruction of the
timbered areas had upon the streams having
their sources or much of their supplies from
the Appalachian range and upon the larger
and navigable Tennessee River. He also
argued that if the Government was justified
in making vast expenditures for retaining
arid lands in the West it was eminently right
and proper that the Government should make
an expenditure to provide for the protection
Of great areas and the navigation of rivers
by reserving and protecting the great forest
range Of the Appalachians as a national

that have been sown already at the gathering.
We are living in days when things move quick
ly and when almost any eddy started in the
pool Of political or economic affairs may grow
into tidal wave It is not improbable that
we are witnessing at Washington the initiation
of movement that will play tremendous part
in the future Of this country, a movement In
which by constitutional methods the nation
will approximate such control and regulation
of it's resources as dreamers and Missionaries
have urged in Utopian schemes for the So
cialization of wealth.
We are awaking to the fact that hand in
hand with private ownership must go the
national sense Of stewardship for the whole
people. It is not in the thought Of any who
are sharing in the present conference to ham
per or prevent private enterprise. 1t is
recognized by all that the prosperity Of the
country depends upon giving to capital
proper and fair opportunity for reaching and
developing the treasures that nature has
stored in the forests, mines and waterways Of
the land. But it is also becoming a convic-
ton that the people have a right to protect
this treasure from plunderers and to make
sure that those who profit by investment in its
possibilities make adequate return for the
rights they enjoy, and take every reasonable
precaution to provide against wanton waste.
We do not hesitate to predict that when
the story of the Roosevelt regime is written,
there will be no chapter better worthy Of an
abiding place in its pages or more deeply
engraved upon the life Of the country than
that which deals with this conference and it's
issues.-Lousville Herald.

establishment, and fourth, the prevalence of
that pacific and friendly disposition among the

them to forget their local prejudices and poll

some instances to sacrifice their individual
advantages to the interest of the community"

EARLY FRUIT OF CONSERVATION
CONFERENCE

The first day Of the conference on con
servatien of natural resources, called by
President Roosevelt, gave promise that
practical results of far-reaching effect will be
the outcome Of it's sessions. Two suggestions
we're presented to the gathering that are
fraught with possibilities of greatest value and
Importance.
Secretary Root, in his address, pointed out
to the assembly that the Constitution of the
United States laid no limitations upon the
cooperation of the various States, subject to
Congressional approval, in the carrying out
of plans to preserve from exploitation the
great wealth Of our forests, mines and other
national assets.
This view, which must be accepted as
authoritative, opens up wide field for action.
The educational influence Of the conference
will no doubt awaken the interest and sym
pathy of all in attendance, and the Governors
of the many Commonwealth represented will
return to their homes impressed with the
need for taking such steps as will contribute
to the end desired. The knowledge that in
these steps they are free to seek the assistance
of each other and to invite the joint action of
State Legislatures will give practical trend
and concerted strength to the policies that
may be decided upon.
The second suggestion, which was made by
Cows Glenn and Folk and embodied in reso-
buttons for later consideration, advocates the
converting Of the conference into permanent
organization. It will be seen that this fits
into the opportunity for cooperation, which
Secretary Root emphasized, providing a means
bv which it may be carried into effect.
It is impossible to predict how vast may be
the undertakings developing from these seeds
