hopes that he will succeed. We
have known Russell for several
years and have observed his ac-

while a student in the Liberal
schools. He has the industry,
the brains and the ambition to
make business or professional

right kind of patronage he will
merit it, and they will never re-
gret it.-Liberal News.

SENATOR FOSTER AND THE
SFNATORSHIP

For years the election Of senators b.
a direct vote of the people has been IN
agitation in the United States Senate,
but, although defeated, has progressed
steadily until now when it lacked only
d -. votes for a majority.
Ore Of the distinguished gentlemen in
the Senate who voted against the prQpO-
sition is Senator Foster OF Louisiana.
How will he explain his vote against
the people?
It is safe to interpret his apology, or
to be more reasonable and polite, say his
defense.
However subtle and plausible, he can
no longer nislead or deceive by holding
in terror the negro from the political
Woodpile.
When men such as Senator Raynor OF
Maryland and other staunch Democrats
favored the proposition regardless Of the
Switzerland amendment, the fears OF
Federal bayonets controlling the cleo
tiow for Republicans is as the stories
of maiden. aunts who brighten chiIren
to sleep.
In this enlightened era when the sec
tons of the United States, the NORTH
and the South, are again entwincd in
good will by commercial interests and
are united in friendship not severable,
ii would seem to be the supreme limit
of nonsense to entertain the possibility
of force bills or the re-enachnent of the
outrages perpetrated on the States OF the
South at the dictation of Republican
hatred and malice. -
1t is no longer possible to arouse the
bitterness of the past by appeals to sec
tional prejudice nor the threats Of
differentiation of the South. All such
suggestions are a discredit of the intel
1igence of Caucasians who have main
tanned the civilization of the South re-
gardless of Federal bayonets, i'll the
days when men of nerve were sorely
tried
The people want change and will
not be satisfied until the Senate of the
United States shall be comprised of men
who will be the actual representatives of
the masses and not the attorneys or the
agents of trusts and monopolies

LINEN FROCKS
SIMPLY TRIMMED.
Buttons Prominent In AdOTn-
Hlent Of Wash Dresses.


Most of the new linen frocks are
quite simply trimmed. this trimming
running down the front of the bodice
and skirt in the majority Of one piece
designs.
Often this consists only in the many
buttons and buttonholes which frankly
button the frock up the front.
Again, these buttons are for orna-
mental purposes only, and the button
holes or loops are embroidered or
made Of braid, the buttons being of
lace, covered or plain white pearl.
Black satin fastenings also are popular.
One pretty pale blue linen model had
for trimming only little fat bows set
vertically down the front of the dress
from the low cut neck to the hem Of
the skirt.
In the middle of each bow was
small fancy pearl buckle. The collar
was modified sailor This style was
popular during the winter and prom
ises to be extremely so during the
summer.

Roots For Cows.

One of the most practical ways of
supplying succulent feed for cows
when one has only small herd and
does not have ensilage is by raising
roots as mangels, rutabagas or stock
carrots. For small herd roots are
cheaper than ensilage. because expen-
sive machinery or expensive storage
room is not required. One acre of
roots planted on rich, well prepared
land. well taken care of, will provide
sufficient succulent feed for six or
eight cows

SENATOR LORIMER WHITE
WASHED.

Senator William Lorimer of Illinois
has been officially whitewashed in the
Senate of the United States by thirty
FIVE Republicans and eleven Democrats.
In opposition were twenty-five Republi-
cans and eighteen Democrats.
Among the Democrats who are listed
as withdrawing Lorimer are Senators
Foster and Thornton of Louisiana.
Had Lorimer not been an ally of the
trusts and combines he would, most
probably, have been retired from the
Senate
The charge against Lorimer was that
he had obtained his seat through irregu-
lar methods. Indeed, it was in evil
dence that there was liberal use Of
money to secure his election, and
whether he was cognizant of these facts
is immaterial. 1t is refreshing to note
that there are men in the Senate who
did not spare their denunciation of the
methods and the means which have Sc
cured Lorimer his seat by a bare ma
jority.
If Senator Lorimef is possessed of
any of. the sensibiiities which are the
pride of noble manhod. he must feel I'M
comfortable, if not in real discomfort,
when sitting or standing in the presence
of any one or all of the forty senator's
who have discredited him.
The presumption is that Senator Lor-
inner has concluded philosophically that
it is more digni6ed to stand white
washed, even if the scales may peel and
fall off, than to have been branded with
an equivalent OF guilt by denying him
his seat in the Senate
1t would be of general interest to the
citizens of Louisiana if Senators Foster
and Thornton would explain or give
their reason for adding their share to
the whiteWash of Lorimer.

Easily Made Nishtdresses.

For the girl who makes her own lin
gerie there is an easily fashioned
nightdress which has only side and
shoulder seams, as it is in two pieces,
with kimono sleeves cut in one with
the body of the garment. A pretty as
well as simple way of making this
style of nightdress is to use very sheer
material and devote almost the entire
sum of money set aside for the gar
ment to its purchase rather than to
few yards of expensive trimming,
since the extra fullness at the top
when finely plated sufficiently orna-
ments the front and back, and the
square neck and loose, straight sleeves
may be finished with inch wide bands
of plain muslin applied under a fine
beading.
Another slip over the head style Of
nightdress fastens in the back and IS
Of distinctly empire type. Only two
straight widths Of fine nainsook are
required for this garment, and, while
its lower portion is rather scant, it is
not too much so for comfort On the
other hand, the extra fullness above
the high waist line may be side tucked
into a band of muslin embroidery
matching the finish of the rounded
neck and the half long bell sleeves.
and the garment will look quite as
trim as an empire negEgee. The same
model made without sleeves may be

certain prosecution in case he caught
him trespassing again hurried away,

warning given to him.

THE DRY FEEDING
OF POULTRY.
Saves Time and Labor and IS
Based on Nature.

The principle of dry feed is good
one and is being adopted by poultry
men everywhere 1t conforms to ma
ture as all fowls in the wild state live
mostly upon grain, seeds, nuts and
grasses, while bugs and insects form
their animal food, says Farm Journal.
By carefully conducted experiments
It has been found that chickens raised
and fed on the old system of wet mash
do not make SO rapid or so plump a
growth as those reared on the new or
dry feed system The wet mash il fed
In too great quantities is left sour, and
chickens eating this are bound to be
injured by it. Evil results follow and
the flock is hampered in its growth.
On the other hand, dry mash or grains
do not sour and cannot possibly injure
the flock.
If supply of dry mash and grains
is left where chicks can get at it they
will satisfy their hunger and make
steady growth, / know of several
eases where chickens are fed but once
a week. A quantity of dry mash and
grain is provided in a sufficient
amount to last a week. Fresh water
is supplied once or twice daily.
A hopper is considered the best for
feeding dry mash and grains, for it al
lows of but little waste. Some poul-
try keepers, however, use large shall
low boxes for dry mash feeding, while
others prefer deep box so that the
chicks cannot scratch it out and waste
it.
A wet mash Is apt to cause the
chicks to eat too much at one time
and thus gorge themselves. This
causes them to become logy, and they
will lie idle for hours in the shade
rather than forage and get the much
needed exercise which is so essential
to their growth. A dry mash. on the
other hand, will never tempt the
chicks to eat too much. They will eat
a little at a time. forage for bugs and
worms and return half a dozen times
a day to the dry feed hopper

HUNOR OF The DAY
Farrner and Horse.

Before the horse is awake the farm
er gets up, and he retires only after
the horse is bedded.
The farmer gives the horse daily
massage. The horse doesn't MASSAGE
the farmer
The horse eats leisurely and eats
only the food that suits him best. The
farmer can't afford such luxurious
habits.
The horse doesn't drink when he is
hot and tired. If the farmer didn't
drink when he was hot and tired he
wouldn't drink at all.
When a horse gets old his load is
ightened. AS the far-Ier grows old
the mortgage grows he4vier.
If you work a horse to death some
body's liable to have the law on you,
but when it comes to working farmers
to death--welI, there's 10 closed sea
son fer farmers.
If a horse dies you have to pay
about hundred dollars to get another.
If a farmer dies two twenty five-cent
ads, will bring you a couple of dozen
men looking for the job.
Still, III one way the farmer has it
on the horse. When the farmer votes
he has sense enough to vote to keep
things as they are On the contrary,
If the horse voted probably his horse
sense would insist on radical change
"a change which would doubtless dis
tnrb many of the great and good men
