An Atroeltx Of Rosslsm.

II is encouraging to see that, in
spite of Mr.. Roosevelt's letter TO his
Georgia friend arbitrarily barring the
door to the new party against south
ern negroes, number OF northern
members of the Roosevelt national
committee protested in Saturdays
meeting against applying the colonel's
policy to the negro delegation from
Florida.
The specific case embodits the is
sue with perferct clearness and dis
tinctness. A white bull moose boss
in Florida, II. l.. Anderson by name,
excluded SO negro voters from his
progl 2ssive state convention and he
frankly admits that he excluded them
because of their race. Boss Anderson
worked the exclusion trick as cleverly
as Barnes, Penrose. Guggenheim or
Lorimer could have worked IL. He
issued red tickets to negros and white
tickets to the white men, and when
the negroes reached the hall they dis
covered that the red tickets admitted
them only to the gallery, while the
white men alone were allowed on the
floor.
Anderson at Chicago pleads that
"by no other course can success for
progressive policies be secured in
Florida" II these Florida negro del
egates are excluded from the Roose-
welt convention, ii will be, Of course.
by methods much more arbitrary than
the celebrated steam roller" pro-
cess. The Roosevelt convention is
hardly more than a mass-meeting.
There has been no system of party
procedure. no body of party law
founded on precedent to guide bull
moosers in choosing delegates to
Chicago. The more people desiring
to attend the better. Mr.. Roosevelts
managers want the hall crowded.
Excluding the Florida negroes sole
iy because of their color will be an
atrocity of bossism absolutely un.
matched by any of the outrages al
legged by Mr.. Roosevelt against the
recent national convention OF the Re
publican party But this atrocity
must now be perpetrated in the name
of social justice ard political purity.

welt is to be carried out and his Ma
son and Dixon's color line is TO be es-
tablished.

really wonderful. A few long and
short stitches on wheels or diamonds
or some other motif are all that are
needed.
Irish crochet and fiIet lace waists
or crochet combined with hand en-
broidery, have been worn recently
with the dressy velvet suits. These
waists are quite a departure from H.
all-Oyer Irish crochet models previ-
ously seen, as the f1let and French
embroidery on batiste are used in
about the same proportion as the
crochet in working out the garment.
These combinations are most ef-
fect1ve, as the designs are worked ont

Nets of various types, from plain
TO fancy Brussels, are favorites. not
only for high stock yokes and long
sleeves, but for waists, draperies and
whole gowns. Some Of the fancy
black nets have a color woven in the
embroidery or design in a new way
for instance, blue with black.
These embroideries give the ap-
pearance of incrustation rather than
the smooth, fiat, satiny or hand-run
effects to which we have become &C

over black or white, these nets will
no doubt establish an enviable vogue

Lace will be used for the best even

TRIMMINGS

Of Fur Now Are
Popular

~ Trimmings of fur on hats are
noted almost without limit.
Both the long and short-haired
varieties are in use. Skunk is, per-
haps, the most popular. Imitation
seal is frequently seen, and ermine
and mole are much used, in addition
to real seal on high-class models.
Skunk and opossum are employed
in wide and narrow bands, the mar
rover bands being used like a fringe

Not only are small turbans and

kinds, but large trimmed models are
noted entirely covered with one OF

The cost of living is now above the
high point of 1909 when it reached a
figure expressed by the Brajstreet index
OF commodity prices by s22. 1t is now
927. The rise is chiefly due to the in
creasing cost of foods, and these have
advanced partly because of three years
in succession of dry weather and short
crops. Grains, hay and forage are very
dear, and have caused a rise in the
price of meat and dairy products. Many
articles which go to make up the COM
modify price have not advanced, notably,
iron. steel, coke, lumber, cement, CLOTH
oils, fruits, chemicals High as is the
present price of commodities, it is not
up to the price preceding the panic of
1873, following the boom caused by the
Civil war.

GIBSON MAY BE CHOSEN.
"Progressives" to Meet Here Tomorrow
to Discuss Candidates for Office, State
and ConuresslonaI

There appears to be no doubt that
Judge E. w. Gibson of Brattleboro will
become candidate to succeed Repre-
sentative Frank Plumley of Northfield
in Congress. A meeting of the PRO
gressives" Gf anybody knowns what that
means) in Windham county has been
called for tomorrow at 2.30 o'clock in
Grange banquet hall to talk over the
question of candidates for office, state
and congressional, and Judge Gibson has
written to persons in various towns ask
ing them to be present. The meeting
will be open to all who believe in pro-
gressve measures, irrespective of their
preferences for president.
When asked if he would be a candi-
date for any Office Judge Gibson said in
part: -Four years ago when l began the
agitation for the enactment of a prim-
airy election law and corrupt practices
act l decided not to put myself forward
as candidate for any position, and to
become candidate for office only in the
event that by SO doing those measures
for which ] stand, and in which l be-
lieve, will be advanced. / will leave the
matter Of determining candidates entire
ly to those who will meet to consider
the situation.
The situation justifes the prediction
that at an early date Vermont will be
redeemed from the control Of those poll
ticdans who for years dictated Its pol
icy and selected its officials. For years
have been urging in public addresses
and through the press, the enactment
of a direct primary. For a considerable
portion of this time 1 have acted on my
own initiative because there seemed to
be no one to come forward and stand
with me. Now, after four years of agi-
tation, it is extremely gratifying to find
that the cause is not lacking of friends
that we will soon have a splendid or
ganization with which to fight the ma
chine, and for the right of the people
of Vermont to rule themselves"

1t is commonly assumed that the con-
stitutional amendment providing for the
direct election by the people of United
States senators will be approved by the
legislatures of three-fourths Of the
states, now that the amendment has
been passed by Congress, says the
Springfield Republican. There is no rea =
son for such an opposition among the
states, as developed in the case of the
income tax amendment, which is also
awaiting the approval of three fourths
of the states in the Union Local in
terests bound up with the taxing pow
er still obstruct the latter modification
of the federal constitution. although only
two or three more states are required
in the Affirmative column. In the other
case, serious obstruction cannot be dis
cerned in any quarter. Indeed, nearly
two thirds of the states have at one
time or another officially gone on recy
ord as favoring a federal constitutional
convention in order that a change in
the election of senators might be
brought about. The recent popular
movement in favor of direct nominations
for all offices, moreover, reveals a pop
ular sentiment that will surely force this
amendment through the requisite num-
ber of legislatures.
