Mr.. Standish was mad when he went
into the millinery establishment, and
the longer he stayed the madden he
got Presently he walked over to a
stunning black creation that hung on
q peg near the window and said:
This IL the hat want to see you
about"
The proprietor came forward.
What can I do for your he asked.
You CON fix this hat over the way
my wife asked you to-" said Standish
explosively. "She wants the feather
put on the other side. that bow moved
to the front, and she wants the rim
to bulge a little more over the TEN.

Seeing a guilty flush creep over the
proprietors face, Standish went on
with increased heat:
-She says you have refused to make
any alterations on the ground that a
stitch added to or subtracted from the
hat Is bound TO ruin 1t, but tell you
that's all nonsense My wife knows
how she wants her hat to look, and IL
she can't stand up for her rights Ill do
1t Tor her. She is coming around this
AFTERNOON to try tho hat on again. II
1t isn't ready by that dme there will
be no end of q row."
The proprietor twirled the black hat
on his forefnger and looked from IL to
the head saleswoman lugubriously.

that No wonder women get cheated

Throughout the day standish con

Against RooseveIts new national
ism" President Taft enters this mild
protest:
In these days there is a disposition
TO look too much to the Federal Coy
eminent for everything. | am liberal
in the construction OF the Constitu.
ton with reference to Federal pow.
er; but am firmly convinced that the
only safe course for us to pursue IS
to hold fast to the limitations OF the
Constitution and to regard AS sacred
the powers OF the States.
The President isn't quite sound him.
self on this vital matter OF restricting
the central agency to it's appointed
sphere, says the Virginian- Pilot. He
recently expressed the ambition dur.
Ing his term OF Office to extend the
Federal arm over all subjects which
II could efficiently embrace. But even
so his most extreme suggestion OF
encroachment on the reserved rights
oil the States is conservative compared
with the radical propositions laid
down by the predecessor who is schem
ing to be his successor. Taft would
weaken the constitutional limitations
by slow approaches, while Roosevelt
would treat the whole organic law as
a dead letter.

WAS NOT AGlTATED.
The Bluetield Telegraph says:

1T is charged that Senator Baker
did not vote to submit the constitu
tional amendment in the extra session
OF the legislature. That is true. The
matter at that time had not been agi
tated, but when Senator Bakers par
ty declared in favor of submission
and the matter came up in the regu.
lar session his vote was cast In ia.
vor OF submission. His action in the
extra session is being criticised with
the view, beyond doubt, to cause the
dry people to vote against him. In
this connection 1t is well to remember
that the wet people are not support
ing him, a pointer that does not fail. "
In answer to this the Hinton Daily
News, Republican, says:
There is no use trying to evade the
question and 1t is folly to say" the mat
ter at the time, had not been agitat-
ed" AS matter Of fact when Sena-
tor Baker voted against the submits
sion of the Prohibition Amendment
he cast his vote over the protest OF
q petition, said to have contained
about 10000 signatures and further
more he had made promises to vote
for the amendment and failed to do
1t, when his vote would have carried
the proposition. q,
Baker is now a candidate for the
same position and we believe he will
make good, if elected again, but he
cannot make campaign by claiming
that he did not know that the Prohibi-
ton issue was a live one"
Senator Baker was confidently
counted upon by the temperance for
ces to vote for submission at the ex-
ira session and it was a great sur
prise to them when he gave the decid-
ing vote against 1t. He afterwards
explained his vote in an argument
against Prohibition quite as strong as
advocates. But at the next session
he had undergone a change of views
and voted for submission, and this
year we find him ultra dry. Two years
ago he voted 10 submit the prohibi.
ton amendment when his votetwould
not avail anything, and at the same
time he advocated the election of q
declared wet" man for county com
missioner against a declared dry
man. 1t was not until the exigencies
OF the political situation demanded
that we find him completely convert
ed from his pro-liquor views. He is
now hitched up with the prohibition
lists, but will he stay hitched?
