The New Millinery Wrinkles.

In regard to the hats to be worn at
the winter resorts: Extremely small and
medium sized hats will be worn for gen.
eral wear. Extremely large hats will
be worn for dresSy wear and for mid
summer. In these. as in every other
type of hat. the rolled or upward brim
will be the most popular. Velvet rib
bons. particularly. with the taffeta backs,
will be greatly favored. Epingline or un-
cut black velvet ribbons and fancy vel
vets will be novelties greatly used in all
high-class models.
In colors. black or black and white.
alone or with touches of cerise. rose
color salmon. or royal blue, will be
among the smartest combinations, though
gray, trimmed with the royal blue will
also be favored. Large use will be made
of the violet and the blue series of col
ors and their derivatives. Small flowers
appear to be favored for trimming. Vio-
lets are much used; often purple and
white are combined on the same hat
In several cases red or the deep pink
roses appear with the violets. The roses
are also Of the smaller type. Flower
hats are featured.
A new note in some Of the hats is the
sloping crown, the top of the crown be-
ing higher at the back than in front.
Black, white, and some gold and silver
laces are used On a number of the i'm
ported hats. Fancy beaded bands, small
cabachons. with beads, strings of beads
around the crown and ornaments made
of beads strung on wires and twisted into
semblance of bows or chouX are all seen.
On some of the hats lace is fastened in
such manner that the ruffies of the lace
droop toward the back, strongly suggest
ing willow plumes.

VOGUE OF BLACK AND
WHITE IN SPRING MODELS

Black and white rules in the models
shown for winter resort wear. That this
fancy for black and white, which has
been the predominant note of the late
winter modes, will last well into the
summer Is the opinion of those who
should know. Modists and millinery de-
signers are rather chary about giving up
their choicest secrets before the openings
in late February or March, but all are
agreed on the black and white combina-
tions. 1t has proved such a successful
follower of vivid colors, and the artists
in the profession have developed such
way Of putting touches of crude colors
against this combination that has made
many a wonderfully pretty gown this
last season. When ii is the fashion to
use a background like black and white
for the introduction of a color note, then
one is apt to find an amazing number
of successful costumes.
It is when the vivid colors are used as
background that women en- masse. pre-
sent by far too gaudy and tawdry an
and one is in doubt about what to wear
the black and white season is that groups
of women such as one sees at large social
gatherings lose all gayety. There is also
this fact to bear in mind: that unless
a black and white combination is chosen
carefully there is nothing so loud looking.
The improvement over the old time
methods of relieving black and white is

for wear in warm weather. They come
in white and colors, fastening together
with small pearl buttons or a gold

CAN BOTH LoosEq

There is a story of horse trade,
both animals being so worthless that
it was declared both parties to the
trade were cheated, says the Sioux
Falls Press. If this story is true il
may be possible for the United States
and.Canada tonegotiate trade agree
ment which shall be a loss and a
detriment to both. That is what has
been done if we are to believe the
opponents of reciprocity here and over
the line to the north. The speeches
made in the congress of the United
States which were calculated to con-
vince the American farmer that the
pact Disseminated against him and
in favor of the Canadian farmer, are
being used, or something very like
them, to turn the Canadian farmer
against the pact.
r. l.. Borden, opposition leader
In the Canadian parliament, is stump
ing the country against the agree
ment. He says:
For every Canadian farmer admit
ted to the American market free,
twelve American farmers will be adj
mitted freely to the Canadian mar
ket."
What powerful interests are at
work among the farmers of Canada
and the United States to defeat the
reciprocity agreement? In each
country they have used the argument
that appealed to the farmer, assuring
him he would lose in the trade agree
ment. Yet it is obviously impossible
for Canadian and American wheat
raisers, each to lose or gain by rails
ingo or lowering of the reciprocal tariff
on wheat.
Some one is certainly badly mis-
| taken as to the effect Of the reaifpro-
city arrangement.

AFTER having failed to defeat the
reciprocity agreement in this country,
the trusts have gone into Canada
where they hope to accomplish the
defeat of the agreement. They are
using the same argument in that
country that was used here, which is
that the Canadian farmer will suffer
if the tariff wall is let down. Isn't it
queer that the trusts work this argu.
ment on both sides of the line'
Evidently they believe the farmer an
easy victim. One thing is certain, he
has been an easy mark in the past
when he was worked to help maintain
the trust tariff schedules which raised
the price of every thing he had to
buy, but did not raise the price of
that which he had to SELL

PRESIDENT TAFT did the expected
thing and vetoed the resolution pass
ed by congress providing for the ad-
mission of New Mexico and Arizona.
The reason for the veto was the
fact that the constitution adopted
by Arizona provided for the recall of
judges by popular vote. The president
went out of his way to express his
displeasure in regard to the recall
feature. He denounces it as perni-
cious, and calculated to destroy the
independence of the judiciary; be
would have the courts entirely free
from fear of the majority of the
people. 1t is evident that his criti-
cism is born of his prejudice and bias
as judge, and it is equally certain
that Mr.. Taft is not as clear 10 his
conception of the duties of a Judge as
he should be. This is indicated by
his vicious attack upon a principle
adopted by majority of the voters
of the territory of Arizona whe seek
to embody in their constitution only
such principles as they are entitled
to under the United States constitu-
tion, and such principles only as are
now operative in some of the states.
Mr.. Taft does not measure up to his
own standard as a Judge for he does
not decide the statehood question
according to law and Justice. 1t
cannot be contended for a moment
that he has a right to refuse state
hood to a territory possessing the
necessary qualifications when it only
seeks to embody in it's constitution
such principles as are in existence in
states now forming part of the I'm
ion.

The farmers free list bill was vetoed
by the president. He gives two rea-
sons for withholding his approval.
viz: that it had not yet been reported
upon by the tariff board, and that it
was loosely drawn and might involve
the government in endless litigation.
The wool bill also got the axe. In
the latter course the president is not
consistent. He stated in his Winona
speech schedules were "indefensible"
Just how the new schedule could be
more "indefensible" Mr.. Taft does
not say. Meantime the woolen trust
will continue to add the ''indefensible''
tariff schedule to the price charged
the consummer. As to the farmers
free list, it probably makes little real
difference for there is practically nc
scource of supply other than the
trust in our own country. We have
an idea that Mr.. Taft will find it hard
to make an explanation that will sat
isfy the people of the northwest.

THE GOVERNOR

The field of candidates for the con.
gressional places and for governor
is growing large and all factions and
groups in the party should have no
trouble seleo ing from the list to suit
themselves. The Press is chiefly con-
cerned in the success of the prog
ressiye movement, state and national.
That it has always supported consist
emily and it still believes that therein
lies the hope to the people. The people
of South Dakota largley believe this,
too, Judging from their action at the
polls. They are not following merely
after a man because he is called re-
former, or because he is fighting the
old-time leaders. They want to
know the man himself, and just
where he stands on the public qnes.
tions which the people are learning to
study and think out for themselves.
1t is altogether likely that every
candidate for congress and for gov
eruor will be called upon to state
positively his position on certain mat.
tiers of public policy. 1t is not always
sufficient that candidate announce
bis platform because that platform
may be cleverly worded to evade
a positive declaration and it may
miss some important matter al
together. A list of questions such as
Bryon put up to the democratic can
didates for president is more effective
and satisfactory. 1t is well to have
candidates poIled on the same list of
questions. In such case it is much
eaiser to compare their answers and
find out where they really stand.

of Mission Hill, as avowed candi-
