Mans New Coat.

Masculine fashions change less radi-
cally than the styles for women ana pro-
duce fewer departures from norman INES
Nevertheless mems clothes at times DIS
play signs of eccentricity Incompatible
with the supposed disdain OF the So
called sterner sex for the fripperles and
foibles of fashion One OF the most lu-
dicrous devices of the tailors of late
years was the abnormally padded Shout
ders which were supposed to give an ap-
pearance similar to that of the young
men drawn by a certain famous illustra-
tor. Unfortunately few men are so con-
structed as to bear exaggeration about
the shoulders. Lacking the breadth or
beam necessary to create the impression
of strength and sturdiness, their wearing
Of these garments made them look like
peg tops in action, tapering to the ground
delicately from their braWny backs. NOT
one out of a hundred of the tallormade
athletes could pass muster as the real ar
ticle. Nevertheless the style persisted
until a coat made without epaulettes
marked a man as hopelessly out OF style.
The tailors now have recognized the
absurdity of trying to make men look
bigger than they are by stuffing them out
at the shoulder points. According to the
latest plates the fashionable coat of the
future will be strictly snug fitting at the
tops Of the arms. But the tailors are not
going to abandon their devices altogether.
They are going to continue to flatter hu-
mainly The new coat is to bulge away
from the lines of nature, but at a differ
ent point. The we'll tailored man hereafter
will have a tremendous chest. even
though he may have been given a mini
mum Of lung capacity by nature. He will
bulge from the shoulders down. Then the
coat is to sweep in snugly to the hips,
the trousers proceeding in graceful undu-
lations to grip the shoe tops with an af-
fectionate embrace suggestive of the
olden days when flaring neither garments
were strapped to the feet.
Thus attired the fashionable man will
still leave something to be desired as an
object OF mere personal interest, how
ever he may add to the gayety Of life by
his suggestion of human carrot.

Throughout the city wagons are to
be seen bearing upon their sides
placards which read: BE kind to your
horses! Rest them! Water them"
These cards are issued by the Humane
Society in its effort to ameliorate the
sufferings Of the dumb animals during
the hot season. The presence OF such
a bit Of printing on a wagon or cart
is to be understood as meaning that
the driver of the vehicle subscribes to
the doctrine that the horse deserves
consideration and kindly treatment
Every driver in Washington should be
eager to obtain such an evidence OF his
own humanity and enlightened selfish
ness.
To care properly for a horse in sum-
mer is not merely to display sent1-
ment for the animal. The dictates OF
business management command that
such valuable assets as good horses
should be protected. The horse will
work as hard as possible. in response
to the urgings of It's driver. 1t falters
only when it's strength is exhausted
Upon the man on the seat, therefore,
depends the manner in which the
animal weathers the fierce summer
days. A fallen horse is fair evidence
that there has been some measure OF
cruel Indifference to the horses well
| fare, too much urging, too little con-
sideration. The owner whose horse
falls in the street may regard the
driver as responsible in most cases, I'M
less he has himself directed an unduly
heavy load or an unsafe speed.
When the temperature is above the
ninety mark 1t is as dangerous for
even the hardy horses as for human be-
| ings to urge the former to efforts that
would be perfectly safe in other cir
cumstances. The shrewd horse owner
knows that he cannot get as much work
out of his stable during midsummer as
during the spring or autumn, and he
calculates accordingly. To expect his
animals to keep up spring pace in
July is to invite loss. Thus selfish bust
ness considerations command humane
treatment, and the placards upon the
wagons may be read as an acknowl-
edgment that the horse. regarded as a
business asset, is worthy of safeguard
ing
Besides which. this card means also
that the man who holds the reins is not
himself altogether a brutal creature. in
different to the sufferings Of the help
less.

obliged to fight for whatever he gets.
Some Of the bitterness that attended
his campaign in 1906 survives. and may
reappear when he gets into his stride
this time.
The senator's friends in supporting
him for the term he Is now filling dwelt
upon his great abilities and upon their
recognition In the Senate. They con-
tended that not only the democracy Of
Texas but of the whole country would
lose by his overthrow. He had made
a place for himself in the front rank,
leave a gap there.
This was true then. and 1t IS even
more true now Mr.. Bailey not only
occupies a place in the front rank of
his party in the Senate, but stands at
the head Of the line. He IS not the
titular leader of the minority, but easily
It's foremost man In all that goes to
make up leadership. He shows the
way in times of emergency, and COM
mands more attention when on his feet
than any of his party colleagues. De-
scribed in the vernacular, he is the
main guy. His party braces by him
and leans up him in times of stress.
The republicans have been losing in
the Senate Of late. Mr.. Spooners vol
untary retirement was heavy loss to
the party. and not less SO the enforced
retirement OF Mr.. Foraker. Mr.. Aldrich
and Mr.. Hale are to follow next March.

power and managing resources.
Mr.. Bailey has at one time or another

and always to the value of the debate.
He Is both full and ready, and at the
same time fair. There is probably no
member of the Senate whose views
upon a constitutional question calling
for reading as well as reflection are
heard with more respect. In view OF
these things-well known in Texas-at
does not seem likely that he Will 1all

A TENSE SITUATION IN PORTUGAL

The fall OF Portuguese ministries has
been so frequent Of late that the press,
for tho reason perhaps that it under
stands but little the cause, has failed to
do more than record the fall with scant
comment. We recall cablegram from
Lisbon Of June % which announced that
the progressist ministry OF Senior Fran

because Of bank scandal which had
precipitated the crisis. The bank scandal.
let US remark attaches to Senior Lu-
cieno de Castro. the old progressist leader
and former prime minister. who. en-
sconced for years in the office of the gov
ernorship Of the Credito Predial. has
been robbing the treasury by means OF
an intricate system of double-entry book
keeping. The victims-the bond and
shareholders-will not be appeased by the
arrest Of subordinates who have been Sc
lected as scapegoats. and one of them has
already put the criminal law in motion
against the former prime minister. 1t is
probable, in view Of the immunity &C
corded criminals in Portugal, especially
those of rank, that the culprit VIII es-
cape scot Free but meanwhile his politi-
cal career is ended, and with it the old
evil Of rotatavism which the ex-minister
