In answer To all this. Il is some
times urged that there Is so much cor
ruption in politics that good men are
deflled by participation therein. That
excuse is not tenable. In fact. II Is
preposterous. To use a common ex-
preston, III will not wash
The probabilities are that there IL

where there is majority OF purchas-
able voters. and that the unpurchas-
able voters can control every one OF

No doubt, there are corrupt men in
politics; 80 are there corrupt men In
every business and profession but II Is
a consolation to reflect that there are
not so many corrupt ones either In

there will not he so many corrupt ones

but while there is undoubtedly cor

plots who go about proclalming that

FASHION AND FADS
By Mrs. Maud E. GilIey.

Blue is color that will be con-
tinued into the early spring.
Beads are everywhere; no type Of
decoration is more prevalent.
A peculiar green blue, named for
the sea, is being shown in Paris.
Ribbon is much used as a trimming
or accessory in the present fashions.
Drapery and suppleness are the
chief characteristics of evening
frocks.
Sapphire blue, especially in satin
and velvet, will be a fayorite IN trim
ming.
Satin and velvet are effectively
combined in some Of the new stocks
and yokes.
There is a new dimity--a combina-
tion weave Of silk and cotton called
silk dimity."
The new ginghams are considerably
lighter in weight than the weaves Of
past seasons.
Plaid combination with plain cloth is
an idea used by many of the French
designers now.
Evening skirts are longer and have
draped tunics. All lines are still Gre
clan and fabrics thin.
Lace or velvet flowers are used to
trim dresses and hats. A narrow
edge of fur outlines each petal.
Bow-knots of brilliants are yery
smart, indeed, and have supplanted
the pearl brooch Of older days.

NEW YORK, Feb. S-Colonel George
w. Goethals. chief engineer Of the Pam
ANA canal, who has arrived here from
Panama in response TO a cable mes
sage from the secretary of war, said
that his visit to the capital is for the
purpose Of reporting to the appropri-
ations committee regarding the forti-
fications of the canal. Nov that we
have spent so much money on the
canal there is only one thing 10 do.
and that is to fortify it, said the col
onel. "lt would be a mistake 10 leave
IL unprotected, and il would also be a
mistake % use the navy TO defend it.
In time of war the navy is supposed TO
take the aggressive and seek out the
enemy and destroy 1t as soon as possi-
BILE, and the use of the navy for defend
ing territory that can be we'll defend
ed by land fortifcations would be
wrong. We should build batteries
along the seacoast and provide suf-
fcient means for defense OF the locks,
so that any land force could be pre-
vented from harming them"

fur and feather trimmed, are among
the features Of the season. This set is
smart and attractive, yet very sim
pie.
In the illustration il is made of vel
vet edged with fur. but it is appro
PIRATE for a variety of materials. A
great many sets of this sort are made
to match the suit and trimmed either
with fur or marabout, and for evening
occasions, chiffon, messaline, and ma
terials of the kind are liked.
The scarf is Just long straight one,
gathered at the ends and can be fin
ished with fur tails or tassels or in
any way that may be liked. The muff
is now yet simple, and very easy to
make. It consists of a long piece shap-
ed at one end. Il is designed to be
lined throughout and padded for two
thirds Of its length then folded with
the shaped end overlapping the
straight. This shaped end is gathered
and finished to match the scarf.
To make both muff and scarf will
require 3-4 yards of material 20
inches wide or 2 3-S yards either A
or So inches wide, with 5 yards Of fur
banding.

II you will use a common sense
method, getting rid Of catarrh is easy.
Germs cause catarrh, you know that

In every HYOMEI outfit which is

catarrh germs.
Pour a few drops OF this liquid
into the little hard rubber inhaler
which comes with the outfit and
breathe this now antiseptic vaporized
air over the membrane of the nose

LONG VOYAGE FOR
ONE-YEAR-OLD FISH
One Thousand Young Bass
Taken From Michigan to
South America

NEW YORK, Feb. 8.-A thousand
tiny 1-year-old 'fingerlings" OF the
black bass family have set a new
record Of fish travel that is second
only to the legend of the quaint sal
mon Matched on the Atlantic coast
finding their way around to the Pa
cific home territory Of their species.
The young bass, however, made
their tour after a modern fashion, by
train and boat, all the way from the
Government hatchery in Worthwhile,
Mich. to Sac Paulo, in Brazil, where
they were sent to stock an artificial
lake belonging to an electric power
and light company owned and op-
Grated by Americans.
The yearling fishes we're shipped
from New York on the steamship
Verdi. October 20. and word has just
been received of their arrival, with
loss Of only 1876, or about IL per cent,
on the sea voyage Of 20 days. This
is a remarkable showing. in the
opinion of fish experts, and it is
record in the matter of shipping live
fish, both as regards distance travelled
and obstacles of climatic change con-
tended with.
A representative OF the company
and two ships stewards we're on con-
slant attendance on the fish, and the
temperature Of the water in which
they we're transported was taken
every half hour during the day and
night from the time they left New
York until they were placed in their
new home. During the trip these
readings OF the thermometer, together
with the temperature of the air, were
put down IN g log to be sent to the
United States Fish Commission as a
record. From the time of leaving
their native Michigan waters, in zero
weather, the bass encountered a va
ration OF more than so degrees in
temperature. On arriving in New
York the fish were cared for at the
Aquarium and had several days I'm
which to recover from the 5O-hour
railroad trip, during whichsthe water
in their cans was kept aerated by
baling.
Under Mr.. Morgan's direction 10
gallon milk cans filled with sea water
we're prepared for them on shipboa-d.
An air pump, operated by an electric
motor, was installed to furnish oxy-
gen in the water. and specially con-
structed covers were fitted to the
cans. which could be filled with ice TO
regulate the temperature. Two tons
Of ice were used during the voyage.
Throughout the trip the tempera-
ture of the water was never allowed to
fall below SO or rise above 81 degrees,
while at times the atmospheric tenn
perature ranged from "a to Sc de-
grees during the day. During the
first two days 123 died, but after that
only three more were lost.
