SOCIAL DEMOCRATS
AGAINST CONSTITUTION
They Adopt Platform Favoring
Its AboIiShment-0ne Law
making Body Favored

MILWAUKEE,, May 30.-Wisconsin
Social Democrats met in state conven-
ton tonight, completed organization 4Rd
took a recess until tomorrow when a
platform will be adopted and state
ticket named. The convention was call
ed to order by Victor l.. Berger chair
man of the state central committee, who
sounded the keynote of the gathering
home rule. Mr.. Berger said one of the
aims of the party was to show the world
that international socialism can be APP
piled to local situations. He favored
the adjustment of the constitution as
it is now. There should be no written
constitution, he declared; that no man is
wise enough to fit the situation as it is
today.
He advocated abolishing the United
States senate and said there should be
but one lawmaking body and it's mem
bers subject to recall.
United States judges, he said, should
be elected by the people and thepeople
nave the right to recall.
Decisions of the supreme court, he
declared, followed in conformity with
election returns.
The aim Of the party he said, was not
simply to elect mayors and other Off
Gals, but to abolish the capitalistic sys-
tenn.

on April %, 1861. three days after the
Virginia convention adopted an ordi-
nance of secession, Gen. Robert f. Lee
resigned his commission in the Federal
army. in obedience to his conscientious
convictions that he was bound by the
ect OF his state. His only authentic ex-
preston of opinion and sentiment on the
subject is found in the following pass
age from a letter written at the time OF
his resignation TO his sister:
with all my devotion to the union,
and the feeling of loyalty and duty of
an American citizen, have not been
able to make up my mind to raise my
hand against my relatives. my children.
my home. I have therefore, resigned my
commission in the army, and. save in
defense of my native state-with the sin
cere hope that my poor services may
never be needed hope / may never be
called upon to draw my sword"
During the early part OF the war Gem
eral Lee served inconspicuously in the
western part OF Virginia. In the au-
tumn OF 1861 he was sent to the coast OF
South Carolina, where he planned, and
in part constructed. the defense lines
that successfully resisted all efforts dl-
rected against them until the very end
of the war. For some reason the Con-
recognize the remarkable abilities of Lee,
and in one instance, being repulsed in
West Virginia, he was recalled by Pres
ident Davis.
Up TO June, 1862, II was not suspected
at the north that General Lee was to
prove the most redoubtable opponent Of
the union. When. however, General John
ston was defeated and severely wounded
at Fair Oaks, he obtained his first great
opportunity. He was appointed, on June
3. 1852. to take Johnston's place as COM
mander Of the army of northern Virginia,
for the reason, as President Davis said
at the time, to an aide de camp, Col
w. p. Johnston, that he unlike other
Confederate generals. had persistently
recommended a vigorous, aggressive pol
icy.
His biogrspher tells us: lowing to his
undemonstrative demanor, and the alb
sence of any melodramatic element in his

character Lee did not at the time, nor
does he now, receive full credit for auda-
cious purposes. The truth is, that, could
Lee have had his way, he would never
have suffered the federal armies TO re-
cover from their defeats, nor the interval
of nearly a year to elapse between the
two invasions of Maryland
The effect of Lees promotion, on June

of Richmond was Immediately perceptl-

drove the union general to the James
river under the protection of his gun
boats. How much the sword of one great
general weighs when flung into the scale
of war. may be computed from the fact
that the Washington government, winch
only 80 days before deemed its forces In
the field adequate for all exigencies then
issued, i'm a fever of anxiety, call for
800. 600 men.
A large army was Immediately con-
centrated for the defense Of Washington
and placed under General Pope Before
the junction was entirely effected, Lee,
whose ouickness of discernment was
euualed by his celebrity of movement, fell
on Pope and crushed him so utterly that
the remnants of his army were glad to
flee for refuge behind the Notifications OF
Washington.
Lee had now been general Of the army
of northern Virginia for 80 days, and,
whereas at the outset Richmond seemed
upon the verge OF capture, now, at the
end OF that brief period, Richmond was
safe, while Washington was in immi-
nent peril.
Lee had things pretty much his own
way until March, 1864, when Grant was
made commander of the federal forces,
when it was evident that the Confederate
general was to have "a foeman worthy OF
his steel" From this on it was strug-
gle to the death for either Lee or Grant,
and the latter came out victor through
superior numbers and superior resources,
but with great admiration for his oppo-
nent-an admiration which existed up to
the time of Lees death, october II, 1870.

| CARING FOR HAIR RIBBONS
Use Of Rolling Pin, Damp Cloth and
Various Little Attentions Will
Preserve Them.

Ribbons will last longer if they are
cared for than if they are carelessly
tossed into the bureau drawer. One
mother l know has given her small
daughter a set of toy rolling pins on
which she expects the child to roll the
hair ribbons when they are taken off
Light colored ribbons will keep clean
much longer If they are laid away in
box The process of rolling or fold
ing will keep the ribbons fresh and
they will not require such frequent
pressing. When this becomes neces-
sary place the ribbon between cloths
which have been slightly dampened
and then press with a warm iron I'M
til the cloth is dry. Only a good quail
ity of ribbon will stand pressing and
although a good quality costs more in
the beginning it is worth the extra
money because it outwears the cheap
er ribbon.
The test for quality is the test of
wear. Do not be deceived into think
ing that a stiff, heavy ribbon is of
purer quality than one of light weight
In all probability the stiff ribbon has
been adulterated and while it looks
well at first sight it will not wear at
all satisfactorily. Such ribbon has
generally been weighted with artificial
matter in the dyeing process in order
that it may stand up stifny and to
give the impression of heavy silk. The
result is far from lasting.
Quality in ribbons costs money. but
in the end it is worth the additional
outlay. 1t is true economy to buy
good quality.

THE MOTHER AND THE BOY
Childish Condolences That Should
Never Be RepelIed, But Al
ways Encouraged.

A boys heart is full and overflow
Ing. He needs some one who will listen
to his condolences. If he is repelled
and finds himself alone, he becomes
fretful, indolent or worse. His affairs
are not nonsense" A good mother
never says: Run away; l am busy"
She listens, encourages.
Important discoveries may be made
in these outpourings. She gives sym.
pathy, enters into his feelings, sees
things from his point Of view. If he
tells her of something which proves
that he is. at fault, she does not repri-
mand at the time, because this will
check further condolences. She gives
her attention quietly, tells him she is
glad he has confided in her, and that
she will talk of it again to him.
If mother has insight she can
solve many problems. She is interest
ed in her boys sports. collections, his
school and companions. The choice OF
his companions should not be left to
chance. 1t is well If they are from
families known to his parents.

COLOR ALWAYS IN DEMAND |
Just Now More Popular Than Ever
On Shirt Waists and Linen and
Crash Suits.

Color on the shirt waist is more pop
ular this year than last. There are
frills. turnover collars, and cuffs of
blue and pink lawn on white or vice
versa.
A smart looking blouse of white
madras has lengthwise tucks with the
front laid in an inverted box plait On
each side of this plait was an inch
wide knife plating of old blue madras,
which was also used around top of
collar and to edge cuffs.
These touches of color are even
shown on the linen and crash suits
One of natural colored linen had a
vest of pink net over white lawn, while
buttoned across it were cords of twist
ed white cotton, with small pink but
tons on each end
Other crash suits have borders of
color done in oriental tones in cross
stitch. Where the mesh of the linen
is not sufficiently defined, canvas is
used for the embroidery, and the
threads later drawn out.

To Improve the Hair.

To keep the hair bright and glossy,
and encourage a strong and rapid
growth, few better methods exist than
that of ventilation.
The treatment should be practiced
for five minutes each day The
tresses should be separated one by
one and shaken gently and slowly,
SO that the air may penetrate between
the strands. If maids help is OBJ
tainable, still better result can be
secured, the attendant tanning the air
gently onto the hair with the right
hand. while supporting one lock at a
time with the other. This must be
persisted in until the hair feels light
and the scalp cool and refreshed.
Besides proving excellent for the
hair, the treatment is wonderfully
stimulating after severe brain work.
and has been much recommended in
nervous complaints, of which head
ache and insomnia form par.

Suede and Steel.

A gray suede bag shaped like a
feur-de-lis is most attractive in its
unique cut. Its mounting is steel, plain
In design, which does not interfere
with the outlines of the bag. and the
beading differs from that usually seen.
In that it is done with large instead of
small beads.
They measure about an eighth of an
inch in diameter and are of cut steel.
They are used to bring out a pattern
on the bag and also to outline its
edges. and at the same time to sew the
two sides of the bag together.
