SNAP SHOTS.
(By J. F.. Click.)

The greatest objection Democrats
some of them-have to Judge
Clark being Senator is, he is too hon
est and fair; he gives his platform
and tells what he stands for, which is
too Democratic for the oligarchy of
the State, now astride Of the Kitchin
Donkey.
The only trust Kitchin intended to
bust was the Simmons machine trust.
He did it when he beat Locke Craig
for Governor. OF course, Kitchin had
to cry railroads and tobacco trust to
bust the Simmons machine, which
was the only trust between Kitchin
and the Governor-pie-count
An editor says Clark's platform is
Populistic, save his pension plank
Why did he except that? He knew
Senator Butler would have gotten
pensions for the soldiers and widows
had it not been for Democratic Con-
gressmen in this and other Southern
States. These Democrats feared that
if the old soldiers got pensions under
Republican administration, they
would vote the Republican ticket.
Simmons is reported as looking
with suspicion on this Good Roads
Movement" It's said that in his
speech at Stanley Creek, he warned
the farmers to watch it, saying that
there was something behind it, seek
ing first of all, not the country's
good-but it's own good. He is re-
ported as saying he believed the
automobile syndicate was behind it,
because it can not sell automobiles
where there are no good roads.
When running to beat the Sim
mons machine for the nomination of
Governor, Kitchin cried out against
trust rule. Now, since he is Gov
ernor, and is trying to defeat Gov
ernor Aycock for Senator, he cries
out against negro rule, saying that
1.-The government is now run by white
men," If he said this, it means ne

cock doesn't feel bad

PRESIDENTS VETO WAS SAFE
AND SANE.

Immediately following the adj
ournment of Congress many of the
Democratic papers carried stories
Under glazing headlines telling what
things had been accom-.
plished by the Democrats and thai
still more wonderful things would
have been accomplished but for the
fact that President Taft vetoed the
cotton tariff bill along with Other
measures.
1t seems, however, that the Char
lotte Observer, the leading Democrat
ic paper in this State, has not at
tempted to fool itself or it's reader:
in this matter. The Observer, com
upon the Democratic fiasco
says:
''Of all the tariff fiascos which
were put up to President Taft
for his veto, the insurgent Re
publicans under Senator LaFol-
lette venting their feud with
the President and the Demo-
Gratis hoping that they would
derive advantage somehow, the
cotton bill touched the limit.
quite. This measure was so man
ifestly crude political device
that some of the Presidents
most censorious critics as re-
CARDS the wool and free-list bills
either expressly or by express
implication acquitted him here
Still, the full absurdity of the
cotton bill in it's final form did
not become generally known I'M
til the Presidents veto had been
received. By these presents all
men knew that the various
amendments were even more of
mess than the original bill it
self.
In : the general movement
among Democrats to guess at re-
auctions on cotton-mill supplies
as compensation for the other
reductions guessed at, some
truly ludicrous blunders were
made, the amendment which
purported to reduce duties on
chemicals leading the way.
When the Presidents veto mes
sage arrived it became known
that many rates had been in
creased instead. Bleaching pow
der had been increased thirty
per cent, boracic acid between
twenty and thirty per cent, alum
ten per cent, zinc oxide no less
than ninety-five per cent. Such
reductions as really we're redue-
tons turned out to be nearer
one hundred per cent than the
twenty-five per cent designed.
1t then transpired that in doing
the best he could under impos-
sible circumstances Senator
OVerman had gotten hold of a
Treasury Department clerk who
framed reduction of the chem
ical schedule supposed to be uni
form at twenty-five per cent.

PAY ATTENTION TO THE ARMS
Easy to Dress Them Becomingly So
as to Overcome Any Natural
Defects.

Thin arms are very easily dressed
becomingly, though there have been
women in the world who had every
device of the toilet at their beck and
call and yet failed to understand the
needs of their meagre arms. A cele-
brated actress and we'll known society
woman was one of these, and even
the SURPRISING loveliness of her face
could not make up for the ugliness Of
the arms she was forever showing off
in short sleeves.
However, estimates of beauty have
changed somewhat. and with the pres
ent formless lines striven for In
clothes match-like arms are no longer
a bar to good looks. But they must
be dressed becomingly-in long
sleeves gathered over the arms or in
the shape of loose bishop puffs end
ing In long hand ruffie. The closer
sleeve should have pointed bottom
covering the back of the hand if this
member is also too thin or otherwise
unlovely, but where the bishop sleeve
is used the material of the bodice
must be thick enough to hide the out
lines of the arm, for otherwise there
will be an unpleasant X-ray effect
when the light pierces the thin tex
ture

CL0AKINGS FOR THE FALL
Used by All the Fashionable
Costumers.

A great deal of interest is expressed
in ratine cloths for fall. There seems
no question that they will be consid-
erably used by all of the best houses.
The new idea Is, of course. the double
faced finish, and beautiful lines In two
colors reversible, or in plain colors
with plaid back are being shown.
Colors in cloakings are both dark
and dull. In double faced materials
we see such combinations as navy
blue and dark red, two shades OF
Havana brown, sage green. and beige,
dull blue and mode, navy and taupe,
Bordeaux red and Oxford gray, olive
green and khaki.
The newest ratine cloths are light
weight and thin also. The first OF
these cloths brought out last year
were much heavier and were found to
be clumsy, and, therefore, were not

are much thinner, and are, therefore.

Judge Brewster stopped and laid
down his eyeglasses.
"Ah, that is precisely the point Of

his eyes flashed as he retorted
quickly:

What do you mean?" demanded
the chief.

of this man his own true thoughts of
innocence, you have forced into his
consciousness your own false thoughts

The Judge spoke slowly and DELHI
erately, making each word tell. The
police bully squirmed uneasily on his
chair.

you of giving an untruthful version of

papers in this city. These scurrilous
sheets have tried this young man In
