1.-THE Best and Only Policy

George Harvey, editor of Harper's
Weekly. reputed to be owned by
John Pierpont Morgan, made an in
teresting anwer to the New York
Worlds query, What is, the best
principle and what is the best poll

new lifG :" Here is Mr.. Harvey's
answer:
To the Editor of the World: The
best principle: The constitution.
The next best: Tariff for revenue
only. The best and only policy
Beat Br, an. GEORGE HARVEY.
No one is surprised that a man who
edits a newspaper owned by the
King of Trusts should oppose Mr..
Bryan. 1t is a clear case of Whose
bread I eat whose song sing" with
Nh. Harvey. Some time last year
O. little presidential boomlet was
launched for Mr.. Harvey, but it
soon petered out, and since then he
has been doing all he can to he ad off
the nomination of Bryan. AS Har-
per's Weekly like the New York
World. is only an echo of John
Pierpont Morgan's wishes, its abuse
helps BRYAN with honest people.

Stands by Tobacco Trust.

The New York World, so fond Of
asking irrevelant questions, may be
interested in a recent issue of the
publication called Tobacco" and
published in the interest of the to-
bacco trade. The editor of "Tobac-
co" charges that the New York
World has deliberately ignored i'm
portant news, the publication OF
which was not desired by the tobac-
co trust magnates. This trade pub

who hold stock in the tobacco trust?

of the tobacco trust that its robbery
of the tobacco grower will have to
stop and as a consequence some OF
the ill gotten dividends of the own.

Drainage.
The coast section of our State is
one of the richest in the world. Our
forefathers appreciated it and by a
system of canals, endeavored to
drain the swamps and claim the
abundant fruits of the soil. pledge

Water Powers.
Our chief hope, to be able to man.
ufacture our produce cheaper than
elsewhere in the world, lies in the
development of our abundant natural
water powers. These are now being
harnessed and brought to our doors
in the form of electricity. To pre-
serve them it is absolutely necessary
to protect the forest upon our noun
tains from the ravages of the axemen.
If the trees are cut down we shall

retaining the water and our hopes for
cheap power will be blasted. The

ALI Trusts Oppose Bryan.

The Times, of Buffalo, N. T., says
in its opposition to Mr.. Bryan the
New York World is in the company
of the Standard Oil trust, the rail-
road trust, the sugar trust, the
leather trust. the insurance trust
the paper trust. the tobacco trust
and all other trusts which are prey
ing upon the people through their
pull with legislatures. 1t is in the
company of the frenzied financlers
and stock gamblers of Wall Street.
1t is in the company of all the pre-
datory corporations which infest the
country. All of these interests are
opposed to Mr.. Bryan. They are
doing all they IAN to eliminate him
as a candidate and accomplish the
nomination of some man who would
be their willing tool. The plumber
ers of the people know that with Mr..
Bryan in the presidency they would
receive no quarter. Their hope is
that with a conservative in the
chair they would be allowed to ply
their traffic at will. 1t is very con-
genial company for the World to be
in as it is claimed that it's owner has
a great deal of stock in the various
trustS.j

TO WATER FLOWER BASKETS.
Use Of Small Pulley Will Make the
Work Easier.

The fern baskets and hanging bas-
kets now used on porches when hung
high enough to look well usually are
out of reach and the watering of them
often enough to keep plants thrifty is
task. To overcome the need of stand
ing on chairs, stools, ETC., in order to
reach them suspend the baskets by a
cord such as is used on window avn
ings. and instead of the usual hook
in the ceiling of porch screw in a small
pulley through which to run cord.
Screw another pulley in ceiling of
porch column and an awning hook in
back of column about four feet from
floor. Run cord through first pulley
along ceiling of porch to second pulley
and through cord down back of post,
and fasten on awning hook. When
necessary to water basket lower to
within easy reach or rest on porch
railing. The flowers can easily be
-watered and cared for and the basket
raised to place again. With fern bas-
kets which must be taken down and
plunged into bucket of water at least
once a week the plan is excellent, as
the cord can be long enough to allow
basket to be lowered to porch floor.

Half Finished Embroidery.

For quite long time the needlework
shops have been selling pillow tops,
doilies, centerpieces and table covers
partly embroidered. so the beginner in
the art merely has to copy the work
already begun.
This is particularly easy method
for the elderly woman whose eyesight
is not sufficiently good to choose the
shades of the silks for herself 1t is,
too, much more encouraging to finish
work already begun. 1t gives an i'm.
petus, desire to see it complete. quite
lacking when just the stamped ma.
terial is lying in the work basket.
Besides embroidery one may also
buy bits Of drawn work in which the
threads have already been pulled and
one corner is finished. AS so few know
the intricate stitches, 1t is far better
to invest in one of these-even If 1t
costs somewhat more.

POINTS OF FRENCH LINGERIE.
Tho New Undergarment Is Worn
Under the PetticoatIess Gown.

Lingerie dresses for grownups are
being made of sheerest null without
a scrap of lace of any kind, but cov-

In white and richly raised. The de-
sign is massed about the torso, bust
waist and hips. the skirt set on to the
bodic with beading and sash
wound loosely twice about the figure
but weighted at the ends. This sash
is in printed silk with the design
maSseo on the ends above deep fringe
The neck and hem of the null gown
IS trimmed simply with hem-stitching
and tucks, and the short embroidered
sleeve is straight and wide enough to
reveal the arm bare to the shoulder,
its hem plain.

entire thing is lace bands save for
half dozen narrow bands of white

stricted the number of their garments
to next to nothing, and while draping
the bust, but leaving the entire arm
and shoulder absolutely nude and one
ankle in coquettish evidence, do not,
however, drape their gowns with the
tightness that some of the sensational
dressmaker's models would lead one to
suppose. Though the draperies are
close and everything is weighted to
hang fiat and straight, nothing is
stetched into a tight wrinkle. Flesh
colored or white tulle is inevitably in

runs straight about under the arm or
