MAYB E.

A Cincinnati dispatch to the New
York World says that two of the CAM
paign choruses sung at the Taft noti-
fication meeting, were as follows:
He's no Billy Bryan fakir,
Well have it understood,
When he's asked to show his hand
He always has the goods.
He's a great big man, don't you ever
doubt it.
And he will keep on growing, now
that he's about it.
He'll be president, the people all will
shout it,
And everybody knows he's from Ohio.
Me o, my o, dear old state Ohio,
Mother and trainer of presidents.
Maker and shaper of great events,
We're in it again in nineteen eight,
Favorite son of our great state.
He's not only big, but he is great,
Our candidate, William H Taft.
Maybe if he keeps on growing now
that he is about it" he will be able, in
a few years, to write his messages
without sending them to the jungles
Of South Africa to be edited by the
gentleman who forced his nomination
upon the Republican party.

AN ISSUE THAT CUTS SHARPLY


In its meeting at Bryan's country
place near Lincoln the Democratic mas
uonal committee made a telling cam
palgn issue with the Republican man.
ayers by declaring that the Demo-
cratic party will not accept contribu-
ions from corporations, that no con-
tribution of more than $4,000 will be
accepted from any source. and that
every contribution of more than S100
VIII be made public before the cleo
ton.
treasurer George r. Sheldon of the
Republican national committee, has
ostentatiously proclaimed that contri-
buttons TO the Republican campaign
fund will be as cordially welcomed
from corporations as from individuals
1t makes no difference TO him where
the money comes from. The Repub-
hcan party needs money to be used
IN improperly influencing politics dur
ing the campaign, and he will take it
from any source.
Mr.. Sheldon's standards of political
morality are quite as high as those of
other Republican leaders and cam
palgn managers. He does not see the
improperly of using in politics the
money OF corporation which by its
charter can have neither political
principles nor the right to vote.
Mr.. Sheldon and the other Repub-
mean managers do not see the palpable
dishonesty of accepting from directors
OF corporations money of stockhold-
ers which they have not voted for DO
litical uses. In their view the manipu-
latlng corporation manager is every.
thing. the property rights of the indi.
Vidual stakeholder nothing.
In its platform and through the ac-
ton of its national committee the
Democratic party has made for itself
a higher code of political and business
morality. The code will stand, not
for this campaign only nor for the
Democratic party alone. 1t is so emf
nently right that it will before long
be the only code tolerated. 1t will be
the law Of the land from one end Of
the country to the other.
The list of contributors to the DEM
ocratic cause, to be published before
the election, will be roll of honor in
which any good citizen may well be
proud to see his name printed The
legitimate expenses of a presidential
campaign are necessarily large, and
no one who believes that the Demo
cratic party is right need be ashamed
to contribute in any way that he can
to its success.
new era in America politics has
been opened at Fairview. Now let us
see what the Republicans are going to
do about it.-St. Louis Republic.

TRIMMING FOR TULLE FRocK.
Heavy Soutache Over Pink Makes
Effective Combination.

A white tulle frock heavily SOU

pink liberty sash coming from out eye.

Lavender gowns with violet coats are
very smart-Vicomtesse de jane wore
this combination at the dinner dance
at the lie de Puteaux club the other

into the foundation chain work 5 chain
into every third stitch.
For the border at sides work
double crochet in the first chain loop,
5 trebles with a chain between each in
the next loop, and repeat for length
Of work, turn, and work chain into
every other stitch back to the starting
poin. Repeat on second side.
For the Fringe.-Cut the wool into
26-inch lengths, pass the hook through
the first loop at end of scarf, fold
four strands of the wool exactly in
half and draw them a short distance
through, forming a small loop, draw
the eight strands right through this
loop and pull gently, drawing the knot
close up to the work. Repeat this
into every loop, taking care that all
the knots are turned the same way.
To knot the fringe, take four threads
of the first tassel and four threads of
the next one and tie them together
about an inch below the other knots,
tie the remaining strands of the Sec
ond tassel to four of the third one and
repeat to end of row, being careful to
keep the knots quite level.
Tie another row of knots an inch
below these, but this time taking the
eight strands OF each tassel and tying
them together. Tie two more rows of
knots at equal distances below
these, and cut the ends level with a
pair of sharp scissors. Fringe the
other end Of the scarf in the same
manner.

Waist of White Net.

A very pretty, cool-looking waist,
suitable for general wear or for half
mourning, is of white net. The ma.
terial is first laid in tuck groups of
three-quarter-inch tucks, alternating
with one measuring half an inch in
width.
When cutting the waist the body
part is laid on the material so that the
tucks run vertically. The sleeves are
full length even to beyond the waist,
and fit the arms smoothly, the tucks
running around the arms. There is
no lining and the waist is much more
attractive than it appears by descrip-
ton.

NOT THIS YEAR.

The New York Post says: "The st.
Louis Times, which represents the
opinion of the best German element
in st. Louis, does not follow the lead
of the New York Staats-Zeitung in
supporting Bryan"
But perhaps the st. Louis Times
does not follow the lead of the Ger
man element" Certain it is that
American citizens of German extrac-
ton are not to be led to the support
of special interests by an editor who
either does not understand. or does
not care to understand, the dangers
of plutocracy.

Curtis in StuIe

Soft, natural-looking curls about the
face are coming into style and a
mighty good thing it is after the long
reign of the befrizzled pompadour.
Women have grown too utilitarian
and are too certain of the rapid pass
ing Of fashions to cut their hair even
to sport tiny curls at the temples and
down toward the ears. But most have
had a sufficiently long course of hot
irons to own plenty of broken hair to
turn into lovelocks without recourse
to scissors. And. then, they are for
sale.

Revivins Cotton Prints.

1t has been many decade since cot
ton prints, as they are commonly
called, were as popular as now. The
fine cashmere and cretonne designs
are back in first favor. They are
printed in all the original colors or
white and ecru cotton and used for lit
tie coats, for house gowns, and for
long wraps.
The Vatican edge is one of the
prettiest of the old designs that has
returned. The selvage of old blue
or green, or pink, is an excellent touch
as a border, and makes very pretty

locations, on the ancient monuments
of the Mississippi valley, by Squier
and Davis, was issued in 1S4S, and
distributed in this country and abroad.
The germs of the present exchange
system are evident in the words OF the
first secretary, Joseph Henry, who
wrote as early as 1882:
The worth and Importance of tie
institution are not to be estimated by
what it accumulates within the walls
of its building, but by what it sends
forth to the world. It's great mission
is to facilitate the use of all the i'm
plements OF research, and to diffuse
knowledge, which this use may de-
velop. The Smithsonian publications
are sent to some institutions abroad,
and to the great majority of those
at home without any return receipt,
save in some cases that of co-opera-
ton in meteorological and other OBJ
ServatiCns."
As now conducted, the rules for the
control of the exchange service pro-
vide in addition to the distribution Of
the United States government publica-
tons to foreign libraries, for the dis
tribution abroad of books, pamphlets,
charts and other printed matter sent
as gifts or exchanges from literary and
! scientific societies or individuals to
| correspondents abroad, without ex.
pense to the sender beyond that of de-
livery to the Smithsonian institution
in Washington. No charge is made
to the receiver except in some in
stances the cost of delivery from the
Smithsonian agent or correspondent
nearest to him. Similar material sent
from abroad to this country is for
warded to the recipient without ex-
pense to him, the packages having
been delivered free of freight charges
to the foreign agent or correspondent
of the institution.
The international exchange service
has now grown to huge proportions.
Three paid agencies abroad are main
tanned in London, in Leipsic and in
Budapest. The shipments sent abroad
by the Smithsonian exchange service
! include practically every organized
community in the world, from Ireland
to South Africa. They are made in
uniform packages or boxes, and ship
mentS to smaller communities are sent
whenever enough material has accu-
mulated to warrant it's transmission.
To larger agencies the service is
weekly. To France, in 1907 went 1853
boxes and 12,061 packages; to Great
Britain and Ireland, sos boxes and 90
! 213 packages, and similar amounts +,
other large agencies, supplying in all
nearly 10000 correspondents. In re
turn France sent 1857 packages of
books, Great Britain and Ireland z,
937, British America 800, and SO on.
1t may be seen from the larger fig
ures on the shipment side that the
United States government is moe
generous than any other nation in the
matter of publishing and giving away
| literature of scientific and an educa-
tional nature.
The exchange service is limited to
voluntary contributions from recog-
nized societies, institutions or facul.
ties. The United States does not un.
dertake to ship free Of charge books
purchased in different countries, nor
scientific apparatus nor instruments.
The exchanges are still administered
for the same purpose as at their begin
ming, "for the diffusion of knowledge
among men,"
