CARAMRAt

Assuredly the news of an order for
arms recently placed in Europe for the
equipment of the Cuban army has in
furiated the Yankees. No doubt Ma
goon advised the creation of a standing
army in Cuba in the hope that the
United States would be its providers.
As the expectation was not realized.
the disappointment of the would-be re-
generators of Cuba is manifest and
they have resolved to send the arms
anyway. but borne on the shoulders of
their soldiers, and afterward to send
in the bill once more to the Cuban peo-
pie.
1t will be seen that the ambition.
the rapacity and the violence of the
North Americans know no limits. The
persecution of Castro scandalized the
world; Panama constitutes a dark page
of human history; the American inter-
vention in Venezuela and the abuses
committed there are past description:
the intrigues in Central America are
likely yet to cause much talk. and the
affairs of Porto Rico and the Philip-
pines complete the picture of a policy
which has no equal for ambition, arbi-
trariness, rapacity, fraud and violence
This is a huge orgy of flibusterism
exhibiting itself to the world in all its
nakedness, and the world will have to
put itself on its guard against machi-
nations.-From El Correo EspanoI. Or

FADS AND FASHIONS

New York, July S.-As the season ad-
vances the fashion settled upon seems
to combine the styles of all the ages
gone before, although here and there
we may ind an individual touch which
would indicate the gown was made in
1909 rather than in 1900. Paris says
that all skirts are very voluminous at
the bottom. clinging around the hips
and finished with a large bow behind.
while IN this country we have already
become familiar with the tight yoke
and the plated apron of the Gallo per-
iod. Paris also says that as we ad-
vance further toward the autumn
months the dresses will be more and
more frankly draped until we have
reached the voluminous style Of the
Louis.
The most striking characteristic of
the present style, says an authority on
fashion, are its points" Last sum-
mer everything in Paris was square.
There were square necks. square fig
ures. square trimmings; but now ev-
erything is pointed after the later
style of the Crusades. The lines of
the present indicate that the pointed
bodice is to be worn, although it may
be that the gown will bit cut in one
piece and the trimmings be depended
upon to give the effect of the required
point
Sometimes the point is so low that
it extends to the feet, as in the instance
Of one heavily embroidered gown with
an overdress of chiffon caught on the

hips, brought round and tied together
in the middle of the front leaving Wis
ible merely a wedge shaped bit of un-
derdress Sometimes the point is form
ed by the overdress itself which is cut
either side. Particularly is this pos
sible when the over gown is of jet. for
1t is material heavy enough to hang
closely to the figure.

SPELLING ..REFoRMn DROPPED.

The discovery by the government
printing office that it is done with
thru, tho, thoro," etc, will excite no
great attention because the public has
ceased to be interested in the a.temp,
TO force this sort Of spelling reform
upon an unwilling people. At the -ime
that the government printing office was
saddled with this change It was gen
orally felt that a blunder had been
made, though credit was given for ex-
cellent intention. Perhaps. now that
the government printing office has re-
turned to the tortuous but beloved path
of English as she is spelled. 1t IS just
as well that the excursion was made.
1t cannot be claimed that the new
spoilers did not have a generous Of
fficial trial-Boston Advertiser.

PEOPLE, NOT THE CORPORATIONS

senator Beverldge represents the peo-
pie in the great issues now before
Congress; he represents the Rebuplican
party; he represents the President of
the United States, and 1t isn't within
the power of Aldrich to impair his
popularity or his honesty for, unlike
his senatorialcensors, Mr.. Beveridge is
answerable to the people, not to the
corporations of the country.-Ft. Way
ne Journal Gazette.
The Lake County times., 1909-07-09
DON'T MIRRY ALBERT.

Senator Aldrich, son-in-law of the
Standard Oil Trust, is violently engag-
ed these warm June days in reading
Senator Beveridge out of the Republi-
can party. and in a torrent of words
charged the Indiana senator with try
ing to organize a new political party.
The Republicans of Indiana are entire
ly satisfied with the course of their
senator and will be so long as he stands
The Lake County times., 1909-07-09
ALDRIcH A LAnnERwoCK.

Senator Beveridge is more popular in
Indiana today than he ever was before.
His fight against the Rhode Island jab-
berwock has not only pleased his own
party. but all the better elements of
tn Democrats as we'll. It has been a
brave and honest piece of work, direct
ly in the interests of the vast consum-
ing public.-Indianapoli Independent.
The Lake County times., 1909-07-09
THEIR EVERLASTING THANKS.

Senator Beveridge is to be commended
but he should not give up the fight.
Tariff reform is right, and the people
are demanding an honest revision down
ward. If Senator Beveridge aids in
bringing such a result about he Will
have the everlasting thanks of an out
ragged people.-Tipton Times.
The Lake County times., 1909-07-09
SOMETHING IN THAT.

The Republican bosses in the Senate
may read Senator Beveridge out of the
party, but his stand on the tariff gues-
tion will make him vastly stronger
with the people of Indiana. And after
all, the people of Indiana are the ones
who have the senator making job.-Tip-
ton Tribune.
The Lake County times., 1909-07-09
A REGULAR MOSES.

In the revision of the tariff there are
none who command the respect of the
people to greater degree than Senator
Albert ]. Beveridge. All eyes are turn
ing toward him as the Moses to lead
Uncle Sans children out of the wilder
ness and into the promised land.-Del-
phi Journal.
The Lake County times., 1909-07-09

1t is safe to say that Beveridge would
be sustained almost solidly by the peo-
pie of Indiana. The Republicans OF this
state want Just tariff" law. and they
believe in carrying of the Chicago con-
vention The people Of this country
will not bow down to the special in
terests" of New England nor to the
leadership of the Mormons of Utah
Noblesville Ledger
The Lake County times., 1909-07-09
WHY SHOULD THEY,

Why should the progressives give up
the fight? The position squares with
the Republican platform and the great
mass OF the people are with them. They
are regular from party standpoint and
are right in urging a downward revis-
ion of the tariff.-Danville Republican.

The Lake County times., 1909-07-09
A REAL SERVICE.

The progressive Republicans, as they
are called in the Senate, seem to be
doing a real service to the people.
Through their efforts an honest and
fair revision of the tariff bill seems to
be assured. It is a matter of some
state pride that Senator Beveridge Is
leading in this mater. -Greensburg
Standard.
The Lake County times., 1909-07-09
BACK TO FIRST PRINCIPALS.

1t is very pleasing to the people in
general the way Senator Beverage is
getting back to this early mooring. The
public servant who lives close to the
people and his constituents need not
fear. They do things, and do the well.
