That Tariff Board is a Peach.

Is it fair to judge President
Taft's tariff board by what the
chairman IF the board himself
think of it? If so, it is a sort of
joke.
Chairman Emery, of the tariff
board, in speaking at a banquet
of the Americn Association of
Wooden and Worsted Manafactur-
ers at New York City, said:
There are certain things that
are very difficult to get, and one
thing that according to the plat
form of the Republican party
and incidentally that does not
mean anything to me, except that
have been given the job accord
ing to that platoon is to try to
get the cost of production. |
frankly say right here that this
idea of settling things on cost
alone is all nonsense. You must
not think | am joking about this
thing, but there is a joke about
it, and the joke is this: have no
power whatsoever. The tariff
board has no powers. There is
really no such a thing as a tariff
board. The law says that for
certain purposes the president
may employ such persons as he
sees fit. | am one of such per-
sons. That is all. daughter
and applause.)
And it was because of this
board, even the chairman of
which treats as a joke. that
President Taft vetoed the efforts
of both branches of Congress to
reduce the cost of living.

Presidential Fight On.

Washington. Ninety nine men
out of every hundred in the Unit
ed States today believe that the
Presidential race, which will Gull
inmate year from next month,
is going to be the most holly con-
tested of any which the Dem
ocratic and Republican parties
have engaged in for twenty years.
This is the view of the profession
al politicians and of the plain cit
izen whose only part in the gov
eminent is casting his vote.
The campaign has already be-
gun, unofficially, although neither
party has selected its leader. The
issues are being framed, deliber-
ately and inevitably. They are
comparatively easy to forsee. It
is another matterto name so far
in advance the men who will op-
pose each other in the battle.

Virginia Debt.

The Republican state admins
tration seemingly has been able to
lull the people into an apparent
state of oblivion and indifference as
to the status Of the Virginia debt
matter
Just the other day tho attorney
general of old Virginia presented q
petition to The United States Su-
preme court which asks that tribu-
nal to enter a decree, of judgment
against the State of West Virginia,
for the sum of seven million dollars,
and interest, amounting, altogether.
to sum approximately about thir-
ty millions of dollars. A perusol of
the Virginia newspapers cannot fail
to impress one with the fact that the
Virginia Commission is absolutely
confident that they will be able to
collect this debt. Yet, on the other
hand, those who are supposed to
have charge of the West Virginia
end Of the matter, persist in their
ominous silence, or tell rs, without
giving any reason, that this state
can never be forced to pay any part
of his debt
In any event this question bids
fair to DO about the liyest of the
many issues of the campaign
ne xt year.
No man can deny that the Repub-
lican party, dominated by the
Scott Elkins machine, is certainly
and wholly responsible for the pres
ent status Of West Virginia IN this
controversy. We are thankful that
there cannot possibly be any mud
dying Of the waters with regard to
this proposition,
Unless we are greatly mistaken
the people Of the state, before the
lapse Of many more months, will
awake Co realization Of the true
situation We confess chat we are
unable to say how the Supreme
Court Of the United States can. on
will, enforce its judgment. But
every man must admit that the
state of West Virginia, with a judg
ment against her by that albunal,
amounting to millions Of dollars,

Old Committee 0usted

At meeting of the Republican
State executive Committee, helC
in Charleston Tuesday and We'd
nesday last it was decided &c
hold a Statewide primary on
June 18th 1912, for the purpose
of nominating all candidates for
State Offices, except members of
the Supreme Court of appeals.
At the same time there is to be
elected one member of the com
mittee by the voters Of each sen.
atorial district. Also two mem
bers at large are to be selected
from the colored race. Rules
and regulations are to be adopted
by a subcommittee of the old
committee. The subcommittee
is composed of S. V. Mathews,
Virgil Highland, j. M. Sanders,
l.. j. Foreman and E. w. Martin.
Several Of the old Federal and
State office-holders rendered their
resignation as members of the
committee to take effect when
the subcommittee makes re-
port.
And this ends another chapter
in the fight of the progressive
Republicans to gain control of
their old party in West Virginia.

MISS FORCES PRINCIPAL
WRITES OF ENGAGEMENT.

The following letter was written to
the editor of the Evening Post by Miss
Clara b. Spence, principal of one of
the schools attended by Miss Madeline
Force, whose enlargement to John
Jacob Aston is awakening worldwide
interested.
To the Editor of the Evening Post:
Sir-Permit me to thank you for your
editorial in your Saturday humble in
regard to the selling of daughters to
worthless inheritors Of wealth or rank"
Not only should we be indignant with
the arranged marriage of a young girl
with a notorious roue," but the So
called leaders of society, who, perfectly
understanding the terms OF the mar
riage, continue to send flowers and con-
CALCULATIONS, must share with parents
the responsibility of encouraging a
marriage which can lead only to I'M
happiness and scandal.
Many schools in our country are
earnestly and fearlessly trying to de-
velop in their students the virtues That
1t seems impossible to graft upon the
character of some of their parents.
One of the most pathetic results that
a faithful teacher occasionally sees
Zone is grateful that 1t occurs so sell
DOM is the deterioration that comes ia
a young woman after she has been for
some time In the worldly environment
OF her mother.
With Indignation and sorrow the
teacher sees the pupil who in school
was so receptive, so responsive to every
good and high resolve, brought into a
world of fashion and vulgarity. and
whose daily life is made a round of
display and amusements. both degrad-
ing and wasteful of energy. Every
good school is trying to train its stu
dents so hat their lives in the future
may be of service in their homes and
In the community in which they live.
Although every earnest teacher has
this ideal in mind, unless the home
gives cooperation it is almost impos-
sible for a pupil, on leaving school and
it's standards, to take a worthy part
in the great struggle between good
and evil.
With deep gratitude we recognize
those parents of high standard and
noble life who do keep the young COM
mitted to their care unspotted from
the world, and who gladly join with
our noblest teachers In imparting to
them the principles on which right liv-
ing rests.

!: Easement Curtains Popular


The curtain which is most popular
at the moment Is the easement design.
This Is extremely practical, for 1t dis
pepses with the window blind n
looks we'll in most rooms. no matter
what scheme of decoration prevails.
Easement curtains can be fitted at
small cost, too-another point in their
favor-and they can be carried out in
all kinds of materials. from soft silk
to shantung. There is an excellent
range, too, of easement cloths at prices
from a few cents a yard upward, the
colors of which are most artistic.
The fashion for stripes in the world
of dress has extended to curtains.
Striped designs are to be seen in nets,
muslins. etc, and very pretty they
look. Dwarf curtains for the little
easement windows are already to be
had striped In insertion. OIL the stripes
are simply woven in the material it.
self.
The vitrage curtains from France
gain popularity each year Made to
hang fatty on the window. they are
quite narrow and finished with shaped
or square ends. Vitrage curtains are
particularly adapted for French win
dows, and they can be either short or
long, just as the housewife likes.
The new muslin curtains, patterned
with rosebuds, are being finished with
plain hemstitched borders and a pretty
idea when using these curtains in bed
rooms is to have the bedspread
to match.

Helen, a Motherless Child


many an older woman has, that her
sex was against her. She borrowed
boys clothing from the closet in the
boys ward, hurriedly donned them and
then she shore her pretty glrlish head
of her long, thick tresses.
But even the outward and visible
signs of mans emancipation did not
avail her. AS the child shyly slipped
down the street an officer of the police
detected the girlish figure and Helen
was brought back to further punish
ment for the new and additional sin.
Any child that is motherless Is to be
pitied.
Even a bad mother is better than an
institution.
1t is to be oped that the institu-
tional friends will perceive that Helen
is a girl worthy of tender care and
thoughtful love.
A girl that is brave enough to part
with that which the masculine ages
have always considered her greatest
beauty, and who realizes, at the imma-
ture age of IA, that when her time
comes to go in the wide world, she is
handicapped, is worth loving. She is
a girl of character and action. Kind
ness, sunshine, understanding, in fact,
love should save her.

CURTAINS and draperies change in
~ fashion as furniture changes from
this period to that period. At one
time it is the Renaissance drapery,
then the empire curtain In for
a u of popularity. Swiss net cur
tains are always favorites, together
with the Madras muslins, the British
nets. the Marie A~ntoinette muslins, the
Brise Bise nets, and so on to the
most popular of all, the easement cur
tains made in heavy shantung or silk.
The old Venetian point ace n flet
antique lace hav provided inspiration
for window draperies, the quaint
figures worked on the borders of the
latter being particularly attractive
when the curtain is hung fiat. A cur
tain which lives its day over and over
again is the cluny design, enriched
with embroidery. This style. which is
bold In pattern, looks very beautiful
in the reception room says a writer
for the New York Times.
One style eclipses the other in popu-
lar favor, but the patterns are so va
ried that individuality may be obtained
to a certain extent by most house
wives.
Excellent style is shown in net cur
tains with strong mesh capable of the
hardest wear, and yet most delicate in
appearance. These curtains. with their
borders worked in quaint old world
patterns, are suitable for bedrooms and
drawing-rooms.

SOME NEW FLOWERS.


White flowers are perhaps the most
important in the new favorites. In
Paris there is a furore over the dead
white flowers that are of velvet or
muslin. These are placed in white hats,
that in their all-white glory are giving
the new. fresh touches to the bright
costumes at afternoon parties, recep-
tons. etc.
Flowers formed of mousseline de sole
are used to decorate sash ends. These
are usually lily-shaped, with narrow
pointed petals gathered into a yellow
centre of bright streamers.
Tiger lilies are giving the touch of
brilliant orange to summer dresses. One
large one will be used on the girdle; a
bunch of them will weight down a
chiffon sash; a cluster will decorate a
hat.
Hydrangeas In the shaded pinks and
lavenders are mixed with white on
large garden hats or formed into up
standing lunches at the side of white
net lingerie hats.
Lilacs In white and purple are here
to form entire crowns on large hats
They also fashion the bunch at the
side.

How to "Shed" a
Bad Complexion

It's foolish to attempt to cover up
or hide a sallow complexion when you
can so easily remove the sallowness
or the complexion itself. Rouge and
the like on a brownish skin only
emphasizes the defect. The better way
is to apply pure mercolized wax-the
same as you would cold cream-put-
ting it on at night, removing 1t in the
morning with warm water and soap.
following with a dash of cold water.
The effect of a few applications is
simply marvellous. The half-dead cuticle
is absorbed by the wax-painlessly,
gradually, in tiny imperceptible par
ticles-revealing the beautiful, ~velvety,
white new skin beneath.
No woman need have a sallow,
blotchy, pimply or freckled complexion
If she'll just go to the druggists, get
spme good mercolized wax and use as
