HOSIERY CLERKS SAY SO AND
THEY OUGHT TO KNOW

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25.-
Managers of hOisery departments
i'm San Francisco's big stores de-
clared today they are selling big
ger stockings to women than ever
before. They assign as reason
both bigger feet and limbs and
more common sense shoes.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, Sept. %.
I'VE thought it was a local con-
dition and that the women of
Southern California were develop
ing into large race of women,"
said a department store proprie-
tor, discussing the large size Of
women's hosiery.
Right from the lips of two
dainty, pink checked girl hosiery
clerks today came the startling
disclosure that the feet of Tacoma
women are becoming noticeably
larger.
The two young women who re-
vealed this appalling fact are the
Misses Litha Dempsey and Helene
Webb, mistresses of the ladies'
hosiery department In local
store.
And the women themselves,
when approaching the stocking
counter, according to the winsome
informers, not only do not make
the slightest attempt at conceal
ment, but brazenly and in tones
unseemly loud, ask the question:
Have you number tens?"
There is not the least doubt
that this apparent pride is but
another. expression of her import
ance in the world by the woman
politician and business head, in
the belief of both young women.
1t was only few months ago
that 1t was the woman with the
tiny "toots'' who was loudest at
the hosiery counter. Today she
comes In with hanging head, whis-
pering under her breath the dimi-
nutive size number of the desired
article.

The warrants were sworn to by
Prosecuting Attorney Brawley at
Mount Vernon. Skagit county. The
Schricker bank failed about six
months ago, leaving. $500, 900 In

the prosecutor that Furth's Seat

beforehand that the Laconner
bank was insolvent. The Schrick-

1t is charged that the Seattle

them to Seattle to apply on the

A GOOD RESULT.

The sinking of the Titanic is
likely to bring a new state of
affairs and a different feeling be-
tween men and women, and the
gentler sex will come to regard
man with more honor, more re-
spect, and as an entirely different
creature than what they were
fast becoming to regard him.
The efforts of woman to leave
her own sphere and crowd her
self into the place of man has
fast became the bane of civiliza-
ton and was robbing man of his
glory, his nobility and his gran
deur, while on the other hand
woman was losing her redeem
ing grace and lovability and be-
coming coarse and undesirable.
The clamor of manish, unseX-
ual women for votes, position
and power will now disturb less
feminine minds, and the world
can take a rest. Already they
are beginning to proclaim, put
the women on an equal footing
with the men; let her share his
fate equally and save herself or
die, because her life is no better
than his" when the fact is, the
women could not have been saved
without the assistance of men,
and plutocrat and peasant We're
the same. The women were as
sisted to the life boats-aSsiSted
into them with tender care-be-
cause they were weak and power,
less to take care of themselves
and it is dishonorable not to pro
tect the defenseleSS. So men,
great and small, gave their lives
to save those who could not save
themselves.
And the few men passengers
who did save themselves, at the
expense, perhaps, of the hundred
women who perished, must q
through life branded as miser
able towards, while the 1900 mel
who proved to be men will live il
history and in poetry and sons
forever.

There is nothing that will so
quickly establish the true calibre
of a man as will his official con-
duct and bis treatment of the
people. No matter what Office a
man holds, he owes that office to
the people, and he is their ser
want. 1t is strange how some
men, when given little official
power, to labor for and in the
interest of the public, soon be-
come to think that they own the
public. You frequently notice that
common courtesy and accOmOda-
ton is entirely absent. But the
good official, from postmaster,
all the way up, repeatedly goes
back to Office and can always de,
pend upon the people to assist
him, while the Surly, insolent,
oyerbearing and selfish official
gets his just dues sooner or later.

1t seems that the sentiment in
favor of Judge G. b. Faris as a
candidate for the supreme
bench of the state is steadily
growing all over Southeast Mis-
souri,, and we are confident with
out solicitation upon his part.
Speaking for this paper, Judge
Faris has never intimated his
candidacy to us, either by word
or letter, and what we have said
has been entirely of our own ac-
cord. This seems to be one OF
those rare cases of the Office
seeking the man. The people
are fast learning his ability, and
their appreciation is being shown
by endorsements from var,
ious sources, irrespective of poll.
tical affiliations. His nomination
seems almost foregone conclu
sion.

Well, once more we shall have
to mention the public square.
Three years ago the good ladies of
our town went to work, and by
their assistance the square was
fenced, graded, set with trees
and sodded with grass, and then
the men took charge of it. Now,
the grass is nearly all killed, and
will have to be re-SOdded, and
what is worse, the grass was kill
ed by tire-by burning the dead
grass. Bermuda grass grows
from joints on top of the ground,
and the heat was so great that
these joints were killed. We
have fought against burning this
grass, because we knew the nat.
ure of it, but of course we could
not help Oursalf, and had to
stand aside and see the fire dc
it worst, not only by killing the
grass, but by it's great heat kill
ing some of the trees. Some one
with some knowledge of horticul
ture should have the superinten
dency of all public grounds.
