ARRANGING THE FLOWER HAT
Attractive Headgear That Any Ciev.
er Girl Can Put Together
at Home.

Attractive flower hats can be easily
made by a clever girl, whose time Is
her own. A frame Of white silk wire
can be bought at any of the shops,
and there Is a wide variety of popular
shapes from which to choose.
The frame should first be covered
with fine white material and then the
flowers are put on In a solid mass OF
color all over the entire surface OF the
hat. The brim Is faced with shirrcd
net or soft silk or satin in a pale col.
or to harmonic with the blossoms.
No trimming Is required except,
perhaps, a stiff cockade of wired black
velvet ribbon, forming a many-loop
bow at the left side. Black and white
aigrettes are also used on these hats.
A close-fitting hat with a turned
down brim. vas of geraniums in all
the tones from the palest pink to deep

are known as tapestry colors. While
very thin plain stockings are to be
the acme of smartness. lace or open
work hose are shown in no end of at
tractive patterns. Some are made with
lace ankles and the upper portion
plain, but the majority seem to be Of
the ~all-over openwork variety.

The Declaration Of Independence was
received with every demonstration of
public rejoicing. We are told that It
was read In public from the platform
OF an observatory In the rear OF the
s~tatehouse. On the same day a bril-.
liant fete was given in honor Of the
nations birth on board the frigate
Washington in the Delaware, the fes-
tivities terminating with q ball in the
evening. The declaration was read at
the head OF each brigade of the Cont.

and received with Joyful huzzas. Again
on the tenth day Of July, the declara-
ton was read in the courthouse at
White Plains by order Of the conven-
ton then In session. The kings coat
Of arms was brought from the hall
where his courts were held and burned
amid the acclamations of the multi
tude.

An Unfair Tee+

One of the significant incidents of
the recent elections was the defeat of
the Democratic attempt to disfran-
chlSe the negroes of Maryland
Such wholesale disfranchisement would
have guaranteed Maryland to the
Democratic party for a long period of
years, or until the people became SO
incensed with misrule that they over
came the Democratic office holders and
took the reins themselves. The dis
franchisement amendment looked in
nocent enough on it's face, but a prac-
teal test of its workings, not among
the negroes, but among college stu
dents not vet old enough to have for
gotten their school lessons, showed it
to be most unfair.
The test was made at no less an in
stitution than Brown University and
before the one class where one would
most expect correct answers, that in
history. The students were asked to
give the full name of the man who is
now president of the United States.
the name of one Justice of the United
States Supreme Court, the name of
one of the justices of the Rhode Island
Supreme Judicial court. the name of

of the mayor of the city of Providence
Not one OF those young men answered
all of the questions correctly. Only
IS knew President Taft's full name.
Not one could give the full name OF
a Justice of the United States Supreme
court. The questions relating TO
Rhode Island We're better answered,
but few students were able to answer
students are so busy getting an edll-
cation that the majority of them do
not closely follow current events. The
great majority of business men IN
Maine could not answer similar set
of questions regarding Maine. 1t IS
not because they are ignorant. 1t Is
because their attention is given to
other things. The same is true of the
negroes of Maryland. Some of them
are ignorant. Some are not. Any test
that guarantees to the negro an OPP
portunity to attempt to pass an OK
animation which would not debar the
majority of white voters wherever
found, would not be resented, but it
is obvious that such a test, if applied
in the North, would debar the major
ty of the electorate from enjoying the
privilege of the ballot. A reasonable
educational test is perfectly proper
and should be rigidly adhered to but
an unfair test such as the Maryland
Democrats sought to have accepted,
is worse than none The campaign for
it resulted in the defeat of the party
and taught the schemers a lesson.

The Retirement of Heney.

San Francisco has elected Francis j.

prosecuting grafters. If he has any
private practice left he is more fortu-
nate than most attorneys who serve
the public any length of time, and give
as strict attention to his public duties

Why has San Francisco defeated
such a man as Heney. The answer is
not easy. He has been honest, fearless
and unremtting in the performance
Of his dIty. Ona reason is that San
Francisco became tired of being good
and could no longer resist the tempta-
ton to have another fling. Another
explanation is that the continual de-

palled on the people and they deter

The criminal elements of San Fran
cisco combined to defeat Heney. He
has been their arch enemy and he was
known quality to them. His success
sor could do no more to interfere,
with their activities and is more than
likely to be unable to do as much.
therefore the opposition to Heney cast
ly united to defeat him. But all the
criminals in San Francisco and all their
lri"hos, could not muster votes enough
to defeat the strenuous prosecutor.
The votes of many thousands of de-
cent, aW-abiding and law-respecting
men were necessary. That the Heney
opposition got them is proven by the
returns.
Heney's defeat is cause for regret

OF graft and the JOB was so big that
the people tired of the work before it

"Now Boost Maine"

The Board of Trade Journal for
October has an editorial entitled Now

ought to read. Maine people should
boost Maine. They have. more on
which to base their enthusiasm than
the residents of any other state in
this Union, but if Maine people don't
boost Maine no one else will. The
Board of Trade Journal cites the Won
derful spirit of loyalty which domi-
mates the people of Seattle, and says:
LET us get the Seattle habit in
Maine. Let us at least enthuse as
much as do our visitors. They
marvel at our wonderful water
rowers. ideal harbors, our quar-
ries and lakes and forest and Won

must do her part. The Maine
State Board will take the lead in

lines accordingly"

Maine is worth shouting about must
make noise enough to be heard above

say that they must go West, or North,

breakers have monopolized the adver
