woMEN's SENSE or BEAUTY.
This 10 Chief Cause Of Their Extrava.
gance In Dress.

"Modern women are extravagant,"
says Mrs. Ellen H. Richards, "but 1t Is
the conditions of our modern life, with
Its loss of personal independence,
which are to blame for this extrava-
gance."
Mrs. Richards teaches in the 1nsti-
tute Of Technology and is deeply In
terested in educational questions, par
ticularly those which relate to econom-
10 and industrial training, but before
everything else Mrs. Richards is a
gracious, charming lady who moves
among the glass TASKS and Bunsen
burners OF her chemical laboratory
with the same poise and dignity which
her mother probably showed in the lin
en- room so years ago, says the Bos'
ton Herald. So one isn't surprised to
find that while the tech teacher
realizes perfectly all the temptations
which the modern woman Is heir to,
her plea is not the overcoming Of these
temptations by mannish disregard OF
all pretty things, but rather return
to the old, beautiful ideals Of living,
which recognized primarily that things
were not really pretty" unless they
were also good"
She compared the women Of to-day
and of 80 years ago as regards the
quantity and the quality of their
dresses.
"Did you never hear of the judges
wife in one of our Massachusetts
towns" she asked, who had only
three gowns?"
Her gray eyes smiled quietly as she
watched the establishment of her
twentieth century listener, and she
continued in calm enjoyment:
eyes, she had her morning gown, in
which she did her housework-linsey
woolsey suppose it was, spun by her-
self-and she had the gown which ahe
wore for calls and at church, and then
she had her beautiful brocade, heavy
and rich and splendid-why, 1t would
stan6 1lone. And it cost a great deal,
because it was such a lovely thing;
but she wore it and wore it and hand
ed it down to her daughter and even
now it's the most precious dress OF
the daughters daughter.
"But compare with that inventory
the gowns of woman Of to-day. She
must have her morning dress, which
she can never wear in the afternoon;
she must have gowns for street wear,
for dinners, for receptions, for dances,
for lectures. And yet-she hasn't one
really nice dress out Of the lot-how
can she, when she must have SO
many?
tits this desire for the show OF
things and not for the real goodness
underneath that is the greatest extraV-
agance of modern women" declared
Mrs. Richards with increasing feryor.
"Instead of getting one nice gown
which will last for years and years,
we get these slazy stuifs which pull
to pieces before tie season is over.
And the reason is that our sense OF
beauty Is detective"

kennedy,s Friends Testify,

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Each day
that passes brings evidence that Con.
gresham Kennedy made friends on
every hand in congress and in the va
rious departments in Washington,
where the prosecution of his duties
called him. These people have volun-
tarily testified to Mr.. Kennedy's worth
as member of the lower body, and all
have expressed appreciation of the
progress that so young a man in con-
gress has made in his first term. The
Hawk-Eye has sreceived communities
tons and personal statements from
those who know of the work Mr.. Ken
nedy has performed. These are SIM
liar in their note of praise Here is
an extract from letter just received
from former resident of Iowa now
employed in Washington, and in close
touch with congressional affairs there.
1t ought to be pleasing to the friends
of Mr.. Kennedy, and it must convince
the voters of the First district that
Mr.. Kennedy has served them well
and will continue to do so.
I have observed Mr.. Kennedy's
course in congress with much interest
and he seems to be making good in a
remarkable manner. The man who
counts in congress is not SO much the
brilliant speaker as the man who
works hard in the committee room.
who makes friends with the other
members and Is cordially liked by all,
as was Thomas Hedge and our late
Governor Gear. In many ways Mr..
Kennedy reminds me OF Governor
Gear Such man has the good will
of all his colleagues and when he
wishes to secure legislation he has be-
hind him the kindly feeling and sup
port of his fellow members and thera.
by is more apt to secure such legis,n-
ton as he may be striving for, part'cu.
larry in reference to local measures.
Such a man is Mr. Kennedy For a
new member he seems to be very
highly thought of and popular. I get
this information from the boys" who
work in the capitol and seem to size
up the members individually and know
just how they stand.
MIR. Kennedy is an untiring work
er, not only in the committee room.
but also on the outside in attending
to department matters. and in serving
the wishes of his constituents.
IF returned-as | hope he NAV be,
Il believe he will make most val
able member and one who can and
will accomplish things for his district
and state.'

campaign. Some people think Tracy's
fortune handicaps c. A. Kennedy, the
Republican candidate. Mr.. Kennedy
IS poor man. The little he has he
gained by the labor of his hands and
the sweat of his brow. He is a man
OF the common people, one of them.

TAFT AND HUGHES WILL WIN

TAFT AND HUGHES WILL WIN
President Roosevelt predicts the
success of Taft and Hughes by "over
whelming majorities' In letter to
Mr.. c. B. Wolfram. editor of the New
York Herald. after thanking the lat
ter for the admirable work he is do.
ing for clean and honest government
by his support Of Taft and Hughes,
the President writes:
II have profound faith in the good
sense and conscientiousness to duty
and high ideals OF my fellowworkers
of German birth. | am certain they
will go right if only the facts can be
clearly presented to them, and, thanks
largely to your efforts, the facts are
thus being clearly presented.
"Mr. Taft stands in the nation and
Mr. Hughes stands in the state for
that high order of government eff
ficiency and that high standard OF
governmental honesty, the union OF
which is absolutely essential in order
to secure good government.
Each adheres and has always adj
hered, in public and private life. to the
most inflexible standard of honesty
and fair dealing as between man and
man. Each represents what is best in
American citizenship. Not one word
of any kind can be truthfully said
against the private or public character
of either. Each has the broadcast
sympathies for his fellow-citizens-
for need hardly say that the accusa-
ton that Governor Hughes is a mar
row and illiberal man is preposter-
ously false. believe that the victory
of the one in the nation and the other
in the state is assured by overwhelm-
ing majorities. and I thank you Tor
the way in which by your efforts you
have contributed to bring about this
result
There could not be stronger en-
dorsement or endorsement from bet
ter source. Nor is there any question
that the President is fully Informed as
to the exact situation in New York
state and the country at large. HIS
Judgment in the matter may be ac-
cepted in entire confidence.

S. H. Johnston, the Republican can
didate for assessor, is qualified and
worthy and should be elected by a
handsome majority. There have been
many and serious complaints about
assessments in Keokuk in recent
years. An opportunity is now afforded
to correct whatever abuses exist by
electing a thoroughly capable man to
that Office. Mr.. Johnston has intimate
and general knowledge of property
values and the disposition to deal
justly by everybody. Taxpayers will
find it to their interest to vote for him
and elect him.

The Fairfield Ledger calls public
attention to a bad break made by the
Democratic paper in this city recently
in saying that Congressman Kennedy
appears to be the creature of the
predatory corporations. The facts
in the case are thus pointed out by the
Ledger
The Keokuk paper would better
let insinuations of that kind alone.
The fact is that if ever a candidate
for congress in the First district
stood close to the railways and other
corporations that man is George S.
Tracy, the Democratic candidate. His
fortune is in railway and corporation
stocks, his livelihood is derived from
them. and if man in public life is
tempted to vote as his private inter
ests dictate Mr.. Tracy's vote would
be with the corporations every time.
