A World Issue

There is one issue upon which the most of us agree. Lterany-ths
mos of us-the many-as contrasted with the few.
That issue is always the same. though from moment to moment and
from year to year the application Of it changes.
The only dimcult thing for people to see is the real issue, covered a s
It is by the guile Of man and the play OF passion.
One day 1t may be a municipal matter-a water. a gas Or electric fran
chise.
Tomorrow 1t is the cost of living
Yesterday it ws the problem Of employer and his liability for safety.
And SO with each turn Of what the poetic Budhists call the Wheel o
Life it resolves itself into the conflict between the Few and the Many. 1t
is nothing but the determination to combat Greed and selnshness. For
It is a Universal Question.
Look at England and its throes and the increasing number OF pau
pers in that country. Is 1t any wonder that a Labor Party should be active

Funerals Must Wait for Lunch

which according to traditional French
customs, thousands of ofiicial persons

The cheaper funerals only take place
in the morning. Now if the hour is

Odd Band Of Thieves.
Several men who are suspected OF
being members Of a gang which is de-
scribed as having devoted special ener

gang is known as La Bande des Cra-

count which is given Of its exploits, 1t
particularly singled out. chateaux or
villas at which deaths had occurred
and while relatives of the deceased
were watching the corpse its members
effected surreptitious entrances and
laid hands on the inheritances. But
the band would not seem, according to
this story to have confined its. activity
to houses of mourning. It is believed
to have broken into the registrars Of

have attempted a similar coup at an
other tribunal.

| Pleasure Deferred

The people Of this community are extremely sorry that Theodore
Roosevelts one speech in Indiana this Fall will not be at Richmond It
Is doubtful whether there is another place in the state where the feeling
of regard for Americas most distinguished citizen is o hearty Or o uni
versal. Democrats Or Repubhcans-parusanship has little to do with this
feeling n the petition of over i've thousand names from Wayne County
testified.
To have Theodore Roosevelt here on the occasion Of the celebration
Of the centenary II this county would have been a quickening of patriotic
feeling.
To have invited Theodore Roosevelt q the highest tribute this
County could pay him and the memory of those men who were foremost
in the early Winning of the West.
That the lack Of time to MI pressing duties a the sd reason for Mr..
Roosevelts letter saying 1t is a simple impossibiity" for him to accept
Wayne Countys Invitation goes without saying. "
In the customary phrase Wayne County hopes 1t is only a pleasure de

MORGANATIC.

When King George recently sue
ceeded to the throne of England the
papers had something to say about
marriage of his that once took place
long ago, before he contracted the
alliance with the present Princess of
Wales.
Some of the papers denied it, and
others while admitting it had little
to say about it.
The truth is that many years ago
the present King of England married
an estimable lady and by her had
several children. This lady is now
living quietly in Canada.
When the King married his pres
ent wife, by the law of royalty his
former marriage was annulled and
his children are morganatic children.
Could anything better reveal the
hypocrisy of the Anglo-Saxon? So
far as the law is concerned the pres
ent King is no less than bigamist.
Yet high functionaries of the church
celebrated his royal marriage and
prayers are offered daily for his
health and conduct.

fact that he is the father of two sets

THE WRONG SIDE.

Some mornings everything is wrong,
And, all against my will,
My dressing takes SO very long
I can't keep good and still.
My naughty sash will not tie straight
My hair won't be begun,
The breakfast bell will sound at eight,
And / shall not be done.
Somehow the buttons all are gone,
And then, of course, you see,
When Mummy tries to sew them on,
The needle sticks in me.
But | will tell you what [ heard
And what my Mummy said
There is (although it seems absurd)
A Wrong Side to the bed.
And if you do not really know,
And get out on that side,
Things go as wrong as they can go;
It's just as if they tried.
So do remember when you wake.
And think of it at night,
And do not make the sad mistake
Of Wrong instead of Right.

FASHIONS AND FADS.


Many colored waists are seen
One sees leather-lined motor coats.
The Greek couture is the most
fashionable.
The hat with the ribbon bow is
quite popular.
The two-toned silks continue in
great demand.
The prettiest "fad'' in Paris is the
blisse-the ruff of chiffon with dain-
ty ribbon roses set in to wear over
tailored suit with a collarless
blouse. 1t is soft, crisp and becom-
ing to the face.
The jabot is long frill and gives
length the rabat is a fiat little tab
which lends an air Of doctrinal Sc
verify to the prettiest face; the plisse
is the side frill, the most popular of
all this summer
Little girls are wearing hats that
have departed from the simplicity
that has been so popular. A mass of
lace and frills crowns little ones
heads, no matter how plain the coat
and dress may be.
Novelty ribbon braid is used for
the fringe on many of the handsome
paraso1s.
Scarlet cloth is used for extremely
short Jackets, belted in with patent
leather.
Coarse blue linen frocks, embroi-
dered with blue and coral silk, are
made for young girls.
The slippers covered with Irish
crochet will be more in vogue this
season than last year.
A hat which is extremely becom-
ing to the wearer has a square
shaped crown of shirred tulle.
The tied-in effect has given way to
the banded-in idea. Wide bands
draw in the fulness of tunic or skirt
towards the bottom. This is striven
for even on the fancy tailored suits.
The vogue of the collarless dress
is in a measure responsible for the
return of the half-inch velvet ribbon
neckband. These come provided with
jeweled or metal slides and clasps.
