dence, whose necessity to our party's suc- cess and usefulness has been so often demonstrated in the past.
 "It is but natural that those who have followed all their lives the democratic standard should longingly desire their partys success: but this success cannot be gained by either shouting our party name or attempting undemecratic experi- ments.
 ''I am profoundly impressed by the con- viction that the situation now confronting the people of our land has directed their attention more to their relief from condi- tions that alarm and startle them, than to the empty satisfaction of partisan su- premacy.
 Our country needs conservatism, re- cuperation from nervous prostration, re- instatement of constitutional observance. buoyant but none the less safe and pru- dent Americanism, scrupulous care of every person and every interest to care. and the square deal that means exact and honest equality before the law and under constitutional guaranty.
 These things are still among the pos sessions of true democracy and demo- cratic patriotism. sincerity and wisdom demand that every party in this line should unitedly offer them to our eoun- trymen
 My regret that I must be absent from a Jackson day dinner, where the atnos- phere must be so thoroughly democratic. is intensified by my close friendship and admiration for the guest whom your club will especially honor on that occasion. It would be an unusual and memorable grat- ihcation if l could add my tribute of praise to one who by nature, by convic- ton, by clean party service and by clear understanding of party doctrine has so well earned democratic confidence and de- votion as Morgan J. O'Brien. Yours very sincerely GROVER GLEN BLAND"

 Returning to Russia. he was immediate ly siezed again and led across the from tier into Bulgaria. A warrant of expa- triation was filed al St. Petersburg, but after two restless years Milyoukov bold ly returned to Russia. He was thrown into prison without trial. and kept there for five months.

 in promoting improvements and in secur- ing the attention of Congress. The wide spread interest in these criticisms is indicative of wholesome awakening on the part of the American people to the absolutely vital importance of our navy The oceans that once protected us from distant powers have now become the medium for them to reach us, and we are now exposed in the Pacific as well as in the Atlantic. The important thing to do is to speedily enlarge our naval strength so that the national government can protect the states bordering the oceans and the gulf in the full and free exercise of their reserved rights. And if the country will give the navy suffi- clent strength I can promise the same wonderful efficiency that has character ized our navy from the days of Paul Jones, Hull and Perry to those of Dewey, Sampson and Schley.' w. s.

An Offensive Order.

Washington, January S.-President Roosevelt was asked today to defend an executive order which provides that pos tai employees shall be at least five feet. four inches tall. The request was made by Representative Oyerstreet of Indiana, chairman of the house committee on post offices and post roads. The President was surprised to learn of the existence of such an order and laughngly remarked that he could not undertake to defend it until he acquired information from the Postmaster General.
 Representative Overstreet believes he will have little difficulty in having the order revoked. otherwise, he said he would make an effort to have it applied to all government employees.

If simple frills seem falling into dis use" says an exchange, 'it is because the art of preparing them properly-strol1ing the gathers. it used to be called-is prac- tieally lost art yet without this neat stroking the frills lose greatly in value and importance. The gathering is done in the usual manner. with what is called the uneven running stitch. the stitch on the underside being ony half the length of that on the upper, though all the stitches on either side must be alike in length. Do not use a thread that is too long; if the gathered edge when finished is to be more than three-quarters of yard long, it is better to use two threads and divide the ruffle in halves, marking at each division with a colored thread; divide and mark the edge to which the ruffle is to be applied in the same manner. After the edge is gath cred draw the thread out at the left hand side of the gathers, drawing the edges up very full; run in pin perpen- dicularly into the left-hand end of the ruff1e and wind the drawn-out thread around it under the head and the point in the form of the figure s. Use a coarse needle to stroke, and place it in the fold of each stitch, laying a little plait to- ward the left and holding it under the thumb of the left hand. Continue in the same manner until every stitch is stroked. Do not scratch the material with the needle; use 1t only to stroke each plait gently into place. After the gathers are stroked, remove the pin at the end and distribute them evenly over the length of thread. A ruffle gathered in this way must be attached in a manner that will conceal the raw edge. If only a seam allowance is provided, lay the right side of the frfll against the right side of the garment to which it is to be attached, with the seam edges even; haste the seam. then lay over the frill a narrow piece of the material to serve as facing and include its edge in the same seam and stitch It. Turn the fac ing over on the inside of the garment; turn under the edge and hem it. This finish is sometimes called a false hem.

 In buying these bonds the banks holding them shall be paid their oriei- nal purchase price, provided the bonds were bought before January 1. 1908 and providing their exact purchase price can be proved.
 Fowler's Statement.
 Representative Fowler, chairman of the committee on banking and cur rency made the following statement re- garding the financial situation:
 We are today, with regard to our financial and currency practices exact ly where we were in 1896, with regard to our standard of value, and to de- eide now to make all kinds of bonds the basis of currency would be just as serious and fatal mistake as to have adopted silver then as our stand ard of value.
 ''The time is opportune, the circum- stances are suspicious and careful in- vestigation of all the facts and con- ditions justify the conclusion that Con gress can and should so legislate as to bring about these results;
 "First, a uniform banking system.
 Second, uniform bank reserve con sisting of gold coin or it's equivalent.
 Third. a simple and scientific mone- tary system consisting of only three forms of currency-gold for our bank reserves, bank credit notes redeemabie in gold in larger bills, and silver for the smaller bills and subsidiary coins.
 Fourth, currency automatically ad- justing itself to the demands of trade, never too great, never too small, but always just adequate to our require- ments.
 "Fifth, an equal and absolute pro- tection to all depositors in national banks by placing in the United States treasury a guaranty fund which by January, 1909, ought to approximate $500, 0,000, 900.
 Sixth the establishment of certain rules and regulations which by the financial operations of the treasury shall be so conducted that the gov ernment will cease to be disturbing factor in our trade and commerce"

The Marx Sales of White

Grow greater each day. Folks bought that never bought before. Old customers to our Annual Sales of White bought twice as much as in usual sales. Why? Because the Embroideries, Laces, White Goods, Undermuslins and Lingerie Waists are simply ire sistibIe in their beauty, their quality and, greatest of all, their price. You are buying at these sales the very cream of the mar ket's production at about half regular price. Why at half price9 Because 1t is a feature with Us and it keeps us busy in ordinarily dull months.
 Besides the sales of White All Winter Merchandise is under THE MARK RULE. You know Marx never carries over merchan- disc from season. The savings on Suits, Coats, Furs, Skirts, Blankets, Comfortables, is simply enormous-bigger by far than ever before.
