DISTORTED
Denies That Ne Said the PsO-

BY The United Press.

strenuous predecessor today 10 deny
and branded as a "falsehoodn the as

asslduously circulated that in his
Linciln Lay speech at New York h.
had declared thar the people "were

a special statement enibodying tho
the matter was issued at the White
House today il was as follows.
Among the falsehools that arc now
being assiduously circulated BY per-
sons and papers opposed to the Prasi-
dent is one that in his Lincoln Day
speech the President argued that The
people are not fitted for self-govern-
ment' President Taft said nothing
upon that occasion which could pos
sibly be tortured into any such con
struction.
The speech in which the President
made reference to popular govern
ment was delivered at tile banquet OF
the State Bar Association in New
York on the night Of January 20.
What he then said on this subject
and it was correctly quoted in the
newspapers on the foil owing day
was this:
Popular government We all be- |
lieve in There are those OF US who !
do not believe that all people care |

fact is we know they are not. Some |
Of us do not dare to say so, but / do;

TIGHT EFFECT IN
BROCADE IS PRETTY

One usually associates brocade with
something very heavy and stin. but this
season some Of the most supple materi-
ais are brocaded and made suitable for
the jeune file
Brocaded charmeuse, brocaded taffetas,
brocaded. chiffon velvets for evening
wear would appear TO be among the sea
sons favorites. and the fashions are
for their use or for plain satins veiled.
Eyes have become so accustomed 10
the complications OF the toilet as shown
in both these fashions that any
thing in the nature Of a plain dress with
out either yelling or brocading looks
inexpressibly dowdy.
And the tapering figure with its mar
rowing line to the feet is stiH the fav-
orite silhouette Some OF the recent
evening models are so tight with their
little fishhal trains that it is extremely
difficult to walk in them.
Progress in a tight dress is at no time
a pleasure. but last season made one so
accustomed 10 picking ones steps and
so lost to all sense Of shame when the
tiehtness OF ones skirt caused an OBJ
viOus fall that there is no revolt against
the continuance OF the fashion. One can
get used to anything. However. the tight
effect in brocade is rather pretty. and s.
aIluring in its simplicity for a jeune

change or regrets and reprOofs, announce
unent was made that the amount would
be deducted from the monthly wage. And
the incident was made the basis for the
future-aH breakages chargeable.
How much OF custom this is, one
does not know. Whether the usual or
the exceptional one cannot tell; but one
does know that II happens too frequent
ly to give prestige to woman's claim for
fair treatment Of her helpers
Part of Working Tools.
Most Of us have had some experience
In the handling Of delicate china, selected
pieces that We care for because their
fral prettiness goes to make up our in
dividUal collections, and We know how
easy it is to drop one in an unguarded
moment. Dishes are part Of a maids
working tools. and II is impossible TO
handle them without occasional disaster
If she must pay for mishaps. she should
not be asked to handle expensive ware.
The mere comparison Of her wage with
the value Of the articles she sometimes
handles is sufficient to show the pettiness
of the eXaction.
II it happens that the value Of a sin
gle bit OF china is s. g. SO, or more, and
a months wage but SIS, SIS, or $50, the
figures are much too heavy on the one
side. too light on the other And there
is a smallness about the transaction that
does not tend to send women into the
field Of housework II they can possibly
Mt in elsewhere.

Servant Problem.
And now it is the old domestic service
problem, which has so many vexing
phases that 1t is difficult TO reach and
maintain a nice balance between the

Perhaps they are the same old ineQual-
ities-or shall we call them abuses?-
that for many years have been talked

sometimes they stand out more promi-

time to drop some OF the old, arbitrary
ways Of doings things that have led 10
discomfort on the part of workers and
a reputation for unfairness on the part
OF employers.
