To be damned with faint praise"
is bad enough, in all conscience; but
for Senator Martin N. Johnson to find
his late tariff record defended solely
by the democratic Devils Lake Jour-
nal is equivalent to finding his party
perfdy and betrayal of explicit prom
ises condemned utterly. For not only
lis justification by the democratic Jour-
nal worse than worthless to Johnson,
but the animus of the Journals frothy
endorsement is well understood. For
some reason Editor Bloom has it
IN" for Gronna. Clearly it Is a person
al matter, and all the more intense
and vindictive on that account. Bloom
has viewed with alarm and increas-
ing disgust the fact that Gronna is
growing steadily in favor with the
electors of North Dakota, while at the
same time the people are getting wise
to Johnson. The people know that
the support of Alex. McKenzie's ma
chine was the only thing that pulled
Johnson through in the election last
fall, and during the late session of
congress they saw plenty of evidence
that Johnson realizes his obligations
and Is paying them off with neatness
aud dispatch. But what grinds the
Devils Lake Journal is the fact that
Gronna is. apt to benefit by Johnson's
loss of prestige and the inevitable ov-
erthrow of the Mckenzie cCumber
wing of the republican party. That is
the reason, and the only reason, why
the Journal tried to "say something
for Johnson.-LaMoure Chronicle.

more strikingly new deyelo pments
there are many suggest lions that are
being brought out. One that must al
ready be familiar to many Of you is
the coat having a skirt attached at

Shorter coats the top Of this facing
was turned under rather deep and
stitched about an inch from the top.
|It was applied something like patch

different from huge pocket placed
Fright around the bottom of the coat.
This way Of making these coats seems
|t0 be very desirable when one wants

[Hpi heavy materials 1t would seem
more practical not to have the two
folds of CLOTH ssz zt1>: =.
S Something that is prettier style,
I think, is the use of plated sections
In coats. For instance. a coat In

had a back whose center-back panel
was plain to anEinch or two below the
Wafstline, and consisted below that
Esppint Of the plated section. d.

DANGERS OF THE AIR

Life insurance companies, rejecting
a prevailing belief that aerial naNigas5

air will have their policies so rear
ranged that these grave risks are
their own. = : s::sss,;sS$E S.
