Waists of Wash TuIIe.

A distinct novelty for the south, and
which will create kind of revolution
in the shirt-waist line, is a tailored
waist OF white washable tulle, made
very severely and designed to take the
place OF the white linen shirt-waist.
1t is lined only as high as an ordinary
corset cover would come, has long
tucked sleeves, and fastens down the
front with six pearl studs. This tulle
is said not only to launder beautifully,
but to wear woll.

ring the senatorial question to the leg
islature, agreeing to abide by the re-
sult"-Des Moines Capital.
If this thing would be done by the
party leaders there is not a Legislative
district in Iowa in which partisans
would not begin to inquire rs he for
iCummins or against him." Mr.. Young
knows now that his distinguished fell
low townsman, Jim Berryhill, has al
ready approached a republican nominee
with the threat You must promise us
not to vote for Cummins or you can't
get our votes at the polls" He also
knows that Haugen and Jim Blythe
visited several county seats last week
to line up legislative nominees and are
probably at 1t today. knowing
this and being sufficiently astute In
politics to know the conditions that
prevail in The other districts why does
Mr.. Young keep talking for delay?
Does he really want party humiliation
in order to defeat Cummins?

Editor Times Republican,, There
seems to be great variety of opinion
as to the best means by which to set
tie the senatorial question. l would
suggest as follows:
AS there is no immediate need of
haste In this matter, and our state
will lose nothing by so doing. place
the several candidates names upon a
slip ticket and fold same in regular
ticket to be voted at our fall election,
counted and result declared. BY so do
ing the same results would he OBJ
tained as IL regular primary had
been held. and our legislators would
be instructed by the people as to their
choice. l believe that the voters OF
Iowa want some means by which to
voice their choice. This method / be-
lieve would be fair and just, as we have
no one regularly nominated to vote
for We should have one fair deal by
the voice of the people in the election

Dear Sir: would like to reply to the
following editorial which appeared in
your paper of Aug. z. "Homesteaders
In some Of the semi arid regions west
of the Tooth meridian of longitude who
have planted and plowed only to see
their crops dry UP and Wither this
year, are doubtless ready now to tes-
tify to the scientific fact that climate
dosen't change"
Now I am a homesteader In the re-
gion referred to, being west of the 1929
meridian Of longitude; came here from
iMarshalltown. June 5, 1908. Am To-
Gated in Adams county, North Dakota;
one mile from the South Dakota line
and want to say there are no crops in
this locality drying up this year. Per-
sonally have no crops planted except
potatoes and garden truck both are do
ing fine: but my neighbors on all sides
are at present harvesting good crops of
cat, wheat, flax and speltz. Prairie hay
is plenty and good. notwithstanding
the fact that this region was swept by
a fire late last fall.
In my opinion it will be easier, by
deep blowing and thorough cultivation
to conserve the just sufficient rain
fall of this section, than to contend
with the flood conditions that prevail
in so many of the eastern and southern
states. The rainfall here this season,
while not sufficient to raise crop in
Iowa, has been all that was necessary
with the climate and soil of this coun-
try.
have always been under the I'M
preston that it was scientific fact"
that filling the soil and planting
groves of trees, does, in time, increase
the annual rainfall whether 1t changes
the climate or not. But taken Just as it
is, without any changes this Is
mighty good country much better than
expected to find when I left Iowa.

THE LAWS DELAYS.
burlington Hawkeye)

every now and then a great law
yer or a convention of legal lumi-
naries or a wise Judge or some author
ity on law gives forth the dictum that
the laws delays are intolerable and
must be curtailed or abolished. And
that usually ends it. The individual
or the association has done its full
duty and no more is heard on the sub
ject.
THE moment q layman arises to
voice his belief that the delays OF the
law are intolerable and that the whole
system of procedure ought to be
amended. the wise men arise In their
might and sit down with all their
weight upon the luckless and witless
individual who has rushed in where
angels fear to tread. And the world Is
grayely informed that the law is great,
wise, beneficent and well-nigh infalli-
BILE, simply because it cannot be hur-
ried. Because 1t takes its time. that IS
the time of the litigants, and uses 1t
without stint. and until 1T wears out
the patience, the very heart and soul
of the parties to a suit. And that a

advantage of the opportunity to ex-

He has not exactly promised to remedy
the evil, but having been a judge Tor

not qualified to speak on the subject,
and the experts will inform him that

they are necessary, and that IT they

never know that fact. And so Mr.. TAFT
has simply begun again an old dis

And the wise outsider suggests: DO
