palm which protrude from the earth,

Boys clothes-BOys' clothes when cor
rect are essentially severe. They are
trimmed with plain bands OF bias material
stitched along the edge, or, for the very
small boy. straight rows Of wash braid.
Lace on the small boy is out OF the
question, and fancy materials are almost
as bad. These are rules that hold good

Yielding to the Majority.

From Lppincotts Magazine.
A Philadelphia physician, in declaring
that insanity was frequently productive
OF sound logic tempered by wit told the
story Of patient he once met in an
asylum.
He came across this patient while stroll
ing through the grounds, and, stopping,
spoke TO him. After a brief converse
ton on conventional topics the physician
said:

Tresses Heavier; Diamonds Fewer.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph
Fashionable hairdressers are having the
busy times OF their lives this winter. Not
for long time have heads been 50 much
dressed for parties and balls, Not in
years has so much false hair been worn,
and tho work Of matching artificial and
natural tresses together begins early and
ends late Plain bands OF gold, one above
and the other poised in front of the hair
among the waived tresses, have been in
evidence at the opera.
Patrons Of the Metropolitan, in New
York. say that few jewels are seen this
season. and that women who sit in the
paTterre tier do not glitter as they have
In other years. Diamond tiaras are not
so numerous as usual There is a fancy
for palmer ornaments. Mayhap the fancy
will change when Wall Street stirs again.

stead Of discussing the Legislation
they proposed TO enact. they began

would have 10 give out around the
Capitol from spittoon-cleaner mp.

among the applicants for all the va

ocratic chief object In life was pie.
but We didn't think they would al
low that fact to become 30 apparent
to the public just after they had been
shedding tears during the campaign
over how the poor people had been
wronged and what great relief they
would give them IL the Democrats
were only In power. Now that they
have the next Congress they have
forgotten the dear people and are
trying to gather in the loaves and

WILL PUT OFF THE EVIL DAY.

The Baltimore Sun has invited
prominent Democrats from all over
the country to meet in Baltimore In
the near future and outline a policy
for the Democrats in Congress for
the coming session, as well as, the
session that will convene next fall.
The Sun fears that IL some program
is not mapped out the Democrats
may go wrong and the voters will
return them to innocuous desuetude
in 1912.
The Suns fears are well founded,
but even If such a meeting should be
held in Baltimore, or any where else,
they didn't get in row, and a
program or platform should be map
ped out; does the Sun, or any one
else suppose for a moment that the
Democrats would stand on the plat
form when they get in the halls Of
Congress?
We note that several Democratic
papers are opposed to such meet
ing. And their fears are also well
founded. When the Democrats meet
to discuss their policies they will be
sure to get into a row and many of
the Democrats are, therefore, in
favor OF putting off the evil day as
long as possible. Watch them when
they try to frame a new tariff bill
And watch how they stand on econ
omy when some Democratic member
wants a new public building Or an
appropriation of any kind for his Dis
trict.

MIR. KOONCE, HIS PISTOL, AND
THE ANTITRUST LAW.

We note that some of the Demo
cratic papers say that Representative
Koonce, of Onslow, will again intro
duce his Texas antitrust law" when
the next session of the Legislature
meets.
Mr.. Koonce may introduce his bill
but from the present looks of things
in the Democratic party, Mr.. Koonce's
bill will meet with the same fate it
met with two years ago.
If Mr.. Koonce will bring up his
pistol with him he may be able to in
timidate a few of the Democratic
members, but hardly enough to Sc
cure the passage Of the bill.
Six years ago, We believe it was,
just after emerging from a fisticuff
with fellow citizen in Onslow, Mr..
Koonce came to Raleigh and intro
duced a bill making 1t a very heavy
penalty for carrying a concealed
weapon. Mr.. Koonce fought hard
for his bill. but it never became a
law.
On the day the Legislature ad-
journed some of Mr.. Koonce's fell
low members presented him with a
pistol and told him to go home and
protect himself.
We fear that Mr.. Koonce's anti
trust law will meet with the same
fate at the hands of his Democratic
colleagues as did his pistol bill.
However, he might bring his gun
along and try both love and war in
an effort to get his antitrust law
through the Legislature.

While there has been some de-
preston in business circles since the
late election, still the catastrophe
will not come to a climax until the
Democrats In Congress, who now
have the majority according to the
returns, begin their attacks upon the
policy Of government advocated and
adopted by the Republicans and
which has made the country prosper
Gus, above any nation on earth.
When the next Congress meets the
first little matter on the Democratic
program will be revision of the tariff
downward, in spots to suit each sec
ton where the party has a clamoring
majority. One of their leaders, the
gentleman from Missouri who ex-
poets to be shown to the Speaker
chair, has even at this early date said
that this would be the policy of his
party. Then, look out for squalls on
the financial and commercial horizon.
The Democrats have always been a
party of disturbance, of opposition to
progress and development, and they
will undoubtedly prove their right to
! this reputation when once installed
| in such power as can be derived from
the control of the House. They can
not effect permanent harm, for the
Senate is safely Republican, but they
can manage to create doubt in the
outcome of their political maneuver.

GREAT REPUBLICAN PROGRESS
SIVE POLICIES.

The Republican State platform de-
clared for many great uplift, pro-
gressive principles and policies.
In addition to broader and more
progressive policy for public educa-
ton, including free textbooks for the

atoms for good roads. the drainage

A Southern convention favoring
the drainage of Southern swamp land
is to be held in a few days at Will

great national meeting for good roads
is to be held at Washington, D. G.
An article in the Washington Cd.
CD Times of last Monday on the
good roads convention in that city,
is as follows:

Body.
Meeting in Washington this week
is what is likely to prove to be the
most important gathering ever held
in this country in the interest of the
of the meeting is to harmonic the

national association which will CO.

ers, such as the National Grange and
the Farmers Union, in promoting the

So far as getting the farmers pro-

roads have an intimate relation to
the business of distribution and to
the cost OF living, something to which
everybody now is giving attention.
1T would be worth while il every
farmer. every person who uses the
roads, every township official, could
see the magnificent examples of what
may be done with country roads as
shown in the improvements being
made under the State of Maryland,

Now that the Democrats will be
in control of Congress next fall some
of the Democratic papers are afraid
for them to make a move for fear
they will do something to hurt the
party. The following is from the
Durham Herald:
'The Democratic party has
more than once suffered at the
hands of its leaders, and now
they could not dc better than
to let things drift for awhile"
If they would only stop at hurting
their own party it would not be SO
bad. But the trouble is in the fact
that the innocent ones also have to
suffer when the Democrats have any
power OF course. it is bad, but we
do not believe the people will stand
for it more than two years.
