who, by chance or otherwise, hap
pened to be at the head of things
nationally.
1t doesn't make any difference
whether man is Democrat, a
Republican. a Mugwump or Wam-
pus, as the Progressives should be
called, any time chap is big enough
and clever enough to get himself
elected to the Presidency Of this
great nation, he should be given
due credit for it and every real citi-
zen should wave a few handker-
chieves and vomit forth few yells
when said executive appears upon
the street.
Personally, | respect and revere
the Hon. William Howard Taft. 1
deem him safe and sane and one of
the grandest and finest men that
ever sat upon the D. C. throne. He
has twice visited Seattle in his Of

ripe frost. The first day he visited

ton the crowds stood silently.
watching him. The lack of enthu-
siasm was so palpably noticeable as
to approach discourtesy. The next
day he was scheduled to take in the
stock show and just prior to his ar
rival, a man mounted the review
ing stand and through the medium
of a megaphone begged the assem-
bled thousands to arise to their feet
and give the President cheer as
he entered the grounds.
Just think of it! Begging thru
a >megaphone the American people
to cheer the chief executive of this
nation. / think it an absolute dis
grace to Seattle when our citizens
have to be begged to applaud man
of the caliber of Taft.
1t wasn't quite so bad on. this
second trip, but all through thai
long parade of Tuesday the Presi-
dent stood in his auto smiling and
bowling and there were blocks at a
time when hardly cheer was heard
or handkerchief futtered in the
air. And how different when
Roosevelt was here! The crowds
that lined Seattle's streets went
crazy at his every appearance and
yelled themselves black in the face.
Taft has made safe and sane

nearly as cordial welcme when he
comes to Seattle as these three men
did as they gasolined their way
down Second Avenue. Everybody
got up on their hind legs, figura-
lively speaking, and whooped and
yelled. They got five times as
much notice as Taft and million
times more attention than was be-
slowed upon the colored soldiers.
Tiny wee Sammy sat there with an
idiotic grin on his face; John L.,
for the first time in his life CONVEX
sationless, sat wagging his head
from side to side as he always does
when embarrassed, while the
Colonel laughed and grinned and
waved his stick in response to the
yells from the crowds.
No use in talking, you can't go
back on the Bible. In fact the
good old book has delivered even
stronger than its prediction would
justify, for at last indeed, the lion,
the ass and the lamb are stabbed in
the same barn. Vive la Republic,
whoop and Rah, Rah! Sis Boom
Bone!
But anyway, l think Seattle
ought to be ashamed of herself for
the way Taft was treated. and I also
think the Chamber of Commerce or
whoever is responsible, should also
be ashamed for calling off the row
between The Times and the Post
Intelligencer. When The Times
called the Pr. a whelp and the p
I. called The Times a cur-ah,
them was the happy days! There
isn't any fun in this Alphonse-
CASTOR business. Out with the
Katzenjammers; up and have at
'em! Once more let loose the ASS,
the Lion and the Lamb.

president and he should be sent
back for another term.
Another, thing that / noticed as I
leaned out OF my office window
watching the parade was that the
negro band and negro soldiers from
Fort Lawton were absolutely over
looked by the throngs of spectators,
and yet every time the white mar
ines from the battleships went
swinging by they always drew a
rousing welcome from the crowds.
Personally, / haven't much use
for a colored man, but I'll say this
much-that colored band was as
good as any band in the parade and
those colored soldiers made three
to one better appearance than their
white brothers. Regardless of
mans color he should be given due
credit for whatever ability he may
have. If man is colored and
thinks enough of this nation to en-
list in either the army or navy be
should have just as much credit as
a white man who enlists, and if he
can play horn well, or march we'll,
or shoot well-give him the hand.
AS | listened to the stirring strains
of the colored band and watched
those colored soldiers swing down
the street with brisk, jaunty step
and noticed that not a single
handkerchief futtered in their hon
or nor a single hand was raised in
applause, l was heartily ashamed of
the citizens of this city. l hollered
my head off and was the only one
around University and Third who
did.
There is always a bit of humor in
everything, however, and the Taft
parade was not an exception. The
President, of course, headed the
line of automobiles and he passed
through the long streets with hardly
a cheer. How different, however,

LINGERIE
BY EDNA EGAN.

Dlmity is greatly employed for
night dresses and combinations,
those dainty little pieces of corset
cover, skirt and drawers all in one
which seem the acme of luxury and
coquetry.
But the new dimity weaves are by
no means like the old ones. The
sheer white is woven with bars,
checks. spots. squares and little floral
designs, which, since they, too, are
white. only serve to increase the
delicate look of the background.
With this is combined Val. lace or
insertions OF double edged embroid-
cred galoon. with soft ribbons an inch
wide used for the draw strings.
An entirely new night gown ma
terial Is imported crinkled crepe,
which is of vei-like fineness. a bias
of fine lawn being used with this for
neck and sleeve bands, through
which which colored ribbons are
drawn. Domestic crepes of a coarser
sort. some with cringled stripes which
look like seersucker, also appear in
night dresses, all of which, by the
way, II they are at all of a stylish
nature, are low-necked and short
sleeved.
Separate drawers and short petit
coats are in the minority. The hip

extra fullness of the bands of these,

be offered the smart woman. The
slips are of lawn. lace and ribbon
trimmed, and fitted to the figure al
most as closely as a gown.
The long petticoat for a stylish in
door or evening dress Is a thing of
exquisite elegance. The top of the
petticoat is fitted to the figure with
out wrinkle, the material being
turned over and sewed by hand to
form the band so as to do away
with any possible thickness. Into
