FASHIONS FANClES|

Skirts are a little fuller.
 Tie lingerie blouse still holds its own:
 Linene is a new material for sailor suits.
 White gloves are not fashionable for street wear.
 Varitable flower gardens are the new spring hats.
 Mohair is favorite material for the everyday spring suit.
 The wee tots are wearing the quaint Kate Greenaway bonnets.
 Dress-up slippers are gay affairs. There are red heels, gilded heels, and heels a-glitter with gems.
 Piques are being pointed in quaintly old-time calico patterns.
 Lierre lace, spangled tulle, and pink satin formed charming tea gown.
 The picturesque Louis XIV period, with the long pointed bodice is coming ill.
 Satin has taken the place of silk for the lining of sheer voiles and chiffon clothes.
 A fetching spring hat had very large buckle at ons side made of tiny pink rose buds.
 Heliotrope verging toward pink is a lovely colcr and is to be spring fav- orite. 1F#
 There are hat pins of Japansse lac quer in red and blue to wear with the spring tailored hat.
 Colored shirt waists are quite as smart as white ones, and flannel will be worn on tho cool days.
 An adorable little tub dress is of pink and white striped muslin, with in- sertions of cluny lace.
 An airy trihe from Paris is fan Of rainbow hues. 1t is made of crinkled papers which look like feather quills.
 Golden roses and silver leaves are ,ised on chiffon ball gowns in combina- ton with coral and pearl beads.
 It sends shivers up one's back to think of it, but ''rat-tail'' is the most fashionable trimming of the moment.
 A new model for spring motor coat is of khaki tussor royal, with black satin girdle and facings and gold but tons.
 Very fetching are the big poke bon nets for young girls. With a rose or two tucked under the brim they are be- witchingly pretty.
 A brilliantly beautiful Cbuddah shawl is of crimson silk, richly embroidered in gleaming crimson floss, and edged with a ten-inch silk fringe matching in color.
 An odd novelty is Russian girdle of dark green and brown Hat braid that goes about the waist and hangs in two ends, q tassel of dark green worsted on each one. Every trand is tipped by white bead.
 Though the natural waist line is re- turning to favor, fashion has no inten- ton of shelving the empire line for evening gowns. The idea is too becom- ing and charmingly picturesque to be lightly brushed aside. It will die out gradually and gracefully--a sort Of swan song ending.

NO OPPOSITION PARTY
Funeral oration Over the Nearly De
 funct Democracy.

From the Indianapolis News.
 We do not recall a more pitiful ex- mbition in OUT politics. The people have been robbed of precisely that form of opposition which MT. Taft thinks so important and valuable. The dem ocrats, with few honorable exceptions, might have been thousand miles away for all the influence they have exerted on tariff legislation. Thsy have re- fused to be bound by their platform, refused to accept time-honored demo cratic principle, principle which, probably more than all other princi- ples, differentiates their party from its great adversary. Democratic members have not even helped to correct the in- equalities or to eliminate the admitted evils of the proposed bills, have not helped to make an honest law even from the protect tionists point of view. So the party has totally failed to perform the part of an opposition. The country has lost, and the republican party has lost by reason of their failure. A great public service has gone unperformsd. And as a result the republicans have been allowed to go to extremes that would have been impossible had there been even a show of intelligent oppo- sition.
 The democratic party has of late years been through many trials and tribulations. But nothing has done so much to weaken 1t as this revelation of it's inefficiency. Tariff reformers who belong to no party, but whose only purpose is to get rid of protection, will not find it easy to work with the dem ocratic party in the future. It will be impossible to feel that even the best platform means anything, impossible to have much faith in the professions of the men who seem to have marched straight into the Aldrich camp. Yer fly, we need an opposition party. But where are we to get it? There are plenty of democrats who ara true to the party faith. It is for them to take hold of the organization, to cut out all frills and fancies, and to bring the party back once more to an advocacy of fun damental principles. We wish them well in whatever attempt they may make in that way.

TAXING LAND VALUES
Recognition of Nsw Principle in Brit
 ish Budget.

From the Johnstown Democrat.
 For the first time the single tax gains official recognition in Great Britain. It has been presented in more than one parliamentary bill, and in several cases the votes in it's favor have been signal ly encouraging, but never before the submission by Chancellor of the Elk chequer Lloyd-George, of the pending budget, has 1t obtained government in dorsement.
 The friends of the single tax had hardly dared hope that the Liberals would 80 far commit themselves on the subject of the taxation of land val ues as they have in the new budget. Only a few weeks ago 1t was intimated that if there were any recognition of the idea at all it would be of such slight import that 1t would be negli- gible. But we find it goes so far that 1t is certain to arouse the landlord in- tcrest to the limit, with the prospect that the house of lords will reject alto gether a budget which they will have no power to amend. Thus general cleo ton would be precipitated, and the is- sue on which it would turn would be that of taxing land values.
 MT. Lloyd Georges proposal embod- les the imposition of 20 per cent tax on the unearned increment, half-penny tax on the capital (selling) value of undcveloped land, and also a special tax on unimproved mineral lands and royalties. From this 1t would appear that the work of Mir. Fels and the men associated with him in the single tax propaganda has not been in vain. The program which they have been de manding is given recognition more complete, we fed sure, than they had believed at all likely.
 The importance of this step is hard ly to be overestimated. There will be no going backward. Once in the bud get, the land value tax will remain, and more and more it will be relied upon for revenue. It will tremendous ly strengthen the free trade cause, while correspondingly dstracting from the strength of the protectionists who mas querade as tariff reformers. It will

FREMONT IS ALL RIGHT

Although we thought, and go stated, that no good could possibly come of Representative Hollingsworth B resoiu- tion having to do with the battle ship Mississippi, and that now famous silver service decorated with the likeness of Jefferson Davis, We think We shall have to ask permission to take it back, and say we were mistaken. It has served to introduce to the country at large Captain John 0. Fremont, U. s. N, and he seems to be an American of the right metal exactly.
 The Mississippi is now on her way to receive the gift of the people of the stats in honor of which she was named, and she is under command of Captain Fremont. Near New Orleans the Charleston News and Courier caught the captain with wire. asking to be in formed whether he objected to receiv- ing the proposed gift, and if so, why7 To this direct inquiry Captain Fremont made fine reply, We think, and 1t will do to paste in your scrapbook and think over whenever you find yourself in clined to be pessimistic or downheartsd in respect of this great country and its manifest destiny. Here is what Captain Fremont wired back:
 NEW ORLEANS, La, May 6,
 1909.-The navy is without section
 al prejudice, and its patriotism
 knows no boundaries save those of
 the great country at large.

 There is nothing to bs added to that. It is a whole sermon on patriotism and good common sense within itself, and needs no elaboration or special analysis. It hits the bulls eye and it rings the bell so all may hear. Mississippi s

An Illinois man comes forward with this: He says he recently hooked a fsh but failed to land 1t. A week af- terward he hooked 1t again. and this timo did land it, and identified 1t by the broken hook in its mouth left there from the first unsuccessful effort. Dur ing the week he had told a number of his friends that the Ash he had missed weighed two pounds, but when he ac- tualiy captured it he found that 1t weighed five.

LOVE SONG OF A LOBSTER

specific act may have been conceived in bad taste from one point of view; it may have been the acme of righteous ness from another. It may have been this, that or something else. None of these things touch the great things in- volved, and from which the gallant Ere mont never lets his optic stray an in- stant. This is country honestly and happily at peace with itself no lass than with the entire outside world; and it proposes to guard that sweet domestic peace even more jealously than any other.
 And tho sooner We all get around to the Fremont point of view, the better. Whatever may have been the passions, the mistakes, the glcries, the ifs, and tho ands of the past, we are not going to fight the civil war all over again. Our fathers fought it out superbly.
 But we are glad this man Fremont has made himself known to his country. He comes of mighty good American stock. An ancestor of his was once honored rather highly by the Republi- can party-was indeed, it's very first nominee for the presidency. To the young men of America in particular and to the older heads in gensral, we should say: Give heed to Captain Fremont's splendid words. No man rot well worth while would have penncd them.
