The mems low shoes also are plain
with the bal pattern most popular. Tan
will be, no doubt. in demand. with white
shoes also more prominent al the shore
than in previous years.
y large number OF mems white low
shoes is being displayed IN The larger
stores. the expectation being that with
a big season in women's white shoes.
more shoes OF the same color will sell
in the mems trade. This may prove true
TO some extent. but, despite their attrac-
tiveness the average business man will
probably not increase the Inconvenience
Of keeping his shoes clean, as would be
the case wqn white shoes.
The real startling novelty in mems
footwear is a soc with the toe turned up
in front. giving the appearance Of a
canoe. This is technically called the
rocker bottom last. 1t appears in me
dunn and cheaper grade shoes only. and
will never have any favor with conserv-
atively dressed men. IL Is a later de-
velopment Of the extremely hish toes that
have been prominent the last year or 50.

since It gives some room for all Of the

well-dressed woman feels in having her
footwear on a par for beauty with other
garments
For the early spring the popular eolors
are tan and white. Button boots Of tan
calf leather and white buck give good
range Of choice for harmonizing with
suits OF the leading style colors.
For q trim. neat effect with the pre-
vailing short. narrow walking skirts,
the button boot is much superior TO the
lace fastening.
The black and white fashion note has
been carried out. also. in footwear. Hand
some boots OF patent leather with white
calf leather tops are displayed In many
stores. The same color combination
is also shown in tops made Of black
and white striped fabrics.
For the woman who favors a COM

can be found. such as patent feathers
or DUH feathers with tops OF grey
suede or the delicate champagne kid.

this year there are q number Of at
tractive changes from the plain pump
which has been so popular Of late
years. The most prominent OF these
is the pump ornamented with togue

ferent from the earliest Colonial,

ers. such as white buck. tan calf and pat

the plain pump. They can secure this
in all feathers. and IL they want slight
change can have a small ornament. such
as leather buckle
Another novelty this season is the low
button shoe or button Oxford. This has
always been a favored shoe with many
women. II Is now shown with from four
10 eight buttons. The real novelty In the
button oxford. however. is a style that
has the buttons down the side instead of
m front. This is a Paris style, and fol-
lows the idea Of the gaiter boot, which
made Its appearance this last winter.

on New York's streets. and II seems pre-
mature to state that the style win not

the present vogue in buttons on vomen's

fits in very strongly.

the low-cut plain pump. which has found
favor with younger women who demand

The passing Of this oxford tie is a strik-

NOT POLITICS, DEcENcY.
[Mapleton Press. ]


Theodore Roosevelt's recent victories
have SO angered some Of the old guard
politicians that they are beside them
selves with rage. One Of them named
Jones, who in some way broke into the
United States senate, and in some way
became a friend of Lorimer. in re-
cent speech walked the floor Of the
senate and Missed the word anarchist
in berating Roosevelt Such silly talk
as that is helping the former president
to get his big boosts.
How true the accusation every rea-
sona;ble man knows. Here Is an incl
dent: When the Los Angeles Times
was blown up by anarchists and many
politicians were afraid to open their
mouths against the outrage for fear OF
union labor, Roosevelt wrote a ringing
editorial which was heard in every
nook and corner Of the land, denounc-
ing the foul deed, the dominant
| thought Of which was Murder is muir
der"
Roosevelt has no doubt made mis-
takes. but he doesn't stand for anarchy
in the least. In fact his whole life has
been spent in fighting all KINDS OF
archy and lawlessness.
This il not designed to be political
argument. It is rather . plea for de-
cency in politics.

Tines- Republican: In = recent issue
OF yotr paper there appeared an arti-
Gle oApied from Golfers, under the

Champ Clark's attitude on the Sher-

would not have been in existence in
1912. Very many things accomplished
by them are apparently on the forgot
ten list Of today. Remember they took
up in blood the foreclosed mortgage OF
state rights, slavery and rebellion paid
and satisfied. That at the close Of the
civil war the army and navy were the
sole owners of the nation. Had they
cared to be so, there were none to say
them nay, that could have backed
their arguments by force. The army
decided back to the nation a whole
country with its vexed questions set
lied fui ali time. Now in their old age
a bill for their relief is termed a grab,
while government protected trusts
plumber them, going so far as to fix an
age limit in all mechanical industries,
railways and commercial lines, where
they must be wage earners, leaving
only the most laborious work which
they can not do Let me ask you this
question: In those darks days Of SO
and ga, when actual grim war held the
nation in it's grip, nearly all old regi-
ments had reached the end of their
three years services. they had passed
thru actual hell Of battles, disease, and
oftimes famine. They were importuned
to re-enlist by the president, congress,
governors Of states, the press. and
from the people came the cry. Don't
leave US now in the mortal distress of
the nation" With the knowledge of
the past, with every heart beat urging
them to forsake danger and go back
to the love Of mothers, wives and
sweethearts. suppose they had followed
the heart, stacked their arms and for
saken the flag? But sirs. when they
lined upon those old colors for three
more years. with that look OF solemn
elation on their faces-was it for the
wage of $13 per month in deprecated
currency or do you think they were
looking forward to the Sherwood bill
of 1912 Of 81 per day as too much for
these old men? 1t more than pays this
nations obligation to them. Isn't
$4,000 per year to rich ex-presidents or
their widows or $1,000 to ex-members
of the supreme court, with from $4,000
to $4,000 per year to the widows of
generals or admirals little steep? Or
do they get more hungry than the man

MORE ant, PISTOL SUGGESTION

The National Revolver ASSOCIATION
sugKests law against concealed
weapons which shall provide:
First: That the act OF carrying fire
arms or other weapons while commit
ting or attempting to commit CRIME
be regarded as attempt to commit
murder. punishable with not less than
fifteen years imprisonment; this SEN
tence to be made mandatory on the
part Of the courts.
Second: That, license or no license,
no person ever convicted Of burglary
or any other crime Of violence may
carry firearms or other weapons under
penalty of not less than five years i'm
prtsonment; this sentence to be made
mandatory on the part Of the courts.
Attention is called to the failure of
the restrictive law in New York to
prevent criminals and dangerous per-
sons from obtaining and carrying
deadly weapons and the claim Is made
that laws which go no further than
general I00tf1CI1Ou 1oSAl III O2Se11 uAA16
tho law hiding citizen without in the
least affecting criminals who havescores
OF under-handed means Of obtaining
weapons and who welcome with open
arms any law that will insure them
defeneeless victims.
Il might be we'll to add the sections
suggested by the association to law
regulating the sale and wearing of
deadly weapons. However the law
against carrying concealed weapons,
unless under license. should be kept
intact and enforced There Is no good
reason to be advanced favoring gen.
eral carrying Of weapons. But if the
addenda were to be made would the
law be better enforced than the pres
ent laws against pistol toting? If not,
what's the use?

Important Decisions
Tho following notes OF cases are
from the West Publishing Company,

CONTRADICTORY NEGLIGENCE.
The following Is interesting on the
question Of eontributory negligence.
Tho perfectly reasonable and obviously
correct, yet one does not very often see
the question squarely raised and de-
cided, that because Of a persons men,
tai capacity he may not be contribu-
torily negligent when receiving a per-
sonal injury. The contention that all
adults of sufficient intelligence to go
about the streets without the necessity
for guardian ship to keep them out Of
harms way should be held to q uni
form rule of responsibility for con-
tributory negligence, for the reason
that it would be impracticable to frame
varying rules Of responsibility for
varying degrees Of intelligence, sounds
good on it's face, but we must keep
our eye on the rabbit" and remember
that in the first instance defendant Is
wrongfully negligent, for which 1t can
escape liability only by the contribu-
tory negligence of plaintiff. One can
not be held responsible in such case
for his want Of judgment and discre-
ton A person is required to use only
such care as his mental strength and
development demand Of him. In other
words, one can not be foolhardy, rash.
or daredevil. If an insane person gets
in front Of train no one would con-
slider him foolhardy and rash, but
would attribute his action to his men
tai state, which misdirected him and
rendered the act irresponsible. He be-
comes, so to speak. an inanimate OBJ
iect, and, If the train crew were pri-
MARTY negligent, they become liable
for any injury resulting. 1t Is for this
reason that IL is never said that cows
or horses struck by trains are con-
tributorily negligent. They are consid-
cred without judgment and discretion.
and, SO far as power to discern danger
and the proper time and method for
escape is concerned. are mere inanimate
objects. Likewise a child OF tender
years, which has not yet learned to
properly discriminate between the rel
alive force and functions OF the objects
Of his environments, is exempted from
the rule of contributory negligence.
! These principles are applied in Seattle
Electric Company vs.. Hovden. 100 Fed
eral Reporter. T. in q personal injury
action where plaintiff. a woman Of ma
ture age, was struck by a street car
running at q speed exceeding that
which was allowed by law. 1t appeared
that plaintiff saw the car coming but
did not appreciate her danger, as she
did not realize the excessive speed at
which it was running. The evidence
showed that she lacked the intelligence
and capacity to care for herself. which
! is possessed by the average adult per-
son of ordinary understanding and In
telligence Her contributory negligence
was the defense pleaded. The court
| held. following Baltimore & Potomac
Railroad Company vs. Cumberland. It's
U. s. 232, 20 Sup. Ct $50, ~ L. h. A.

the full degree of care required OF one
having normal use Of his faculties. and
