Uneasy Lies The Head

Colonel Fred Hale, member of the
Republican national committee by yir-
tue of the Maine Rooseyeltian senti-
ment, is now finding his position a
most embarrassing one. At least that
is the way some wise politicians in
Maine are putting the matter.
You see. it is this way: Col Fred
has been wanting some sort of job
by which he might in political terms
get back, at Hon. Asher Kinds, his
successful rival of some years agone.
Now when people began to catCl Oh
To tac flct Hat T 'adtre Rose ct,
twice President of the United States,
wanted tc hold that high office again,
they began TO discover ways aad
means by which, taking full advantage
of the caprices of Roosevelt, they
might get themselves boosted polt
cally into notoriety.
Col. Fred was one of the fellows TO
catch on. Suffice it to say that he had

by reason of the relationship existing
for long between T. Roosevelt and Col.
Fred's father, Eugene, erstwhile L. S.
Senator, it may be safe to argue-in
fact in many circles it is so argued
and with good grounds for it-that
Col. Fred was anything but kindly dis
posed toward T. Roosevelt.
But Col. Fred caught on.
The first thing the people of Maine
knew was that everybody seemed to
want 7. Roosevelt for President. The
original source of that sudden demand
was Col. Fred. You see, he wanted T
Roosevelt because he wanted some
thing else.
So Col. Fred and his henchmen and
his coadjutors got into fighting trim,
got Roosevelt delegates elected all
over Maine and carried the Bangor
convention for T. Roosevelt.
That was easy.
And the next step was easy.
f. NJ. Simpson, standpat Republi
can and therefore a Taft man, had
been elected to fill out the late Chair
man Hills term on the national COM
mittee. Then came a demand, voiced
by the Lewiston Journal and other
Roosevelt supporters, for a Roosevelt
man to be elected from Maine to take
place.
Col Fred was elected.
See?

THURSDAY, JULY Is, 1912.
Don't Be Girlish

Strange that the average citizen is
so politically blind.
Take, for instance. the present poll
tical situation. The talk centers alto
gether on whether you or your neigh
Dor will vote for Taft or Wilson or
Roosevelt.
AS though Taft or Wilson or Roose-
welt were the government
1t is downright absurd that people
should be so short-sighted
The whole question for the Ameri-
can citizen is as to whether Taft or
Wilson or Roosevelt stand for plat
form of principles that will make the
government stable and strong and pro-
gressiye.
Now we'll venture a guess.
That the man who reads this edi-
torial cannot tell what is the sub
stance of the the platforms upon
which Wilson and Taft are running
for high office.
AS Jedidiah Brown used to say be-
tween the emptying of mouthfuls of
tobacco,-"Now GOMEZ"
Wilson?
Well. we wonder whether or not the
election of Wilson, now SO confidently
predicted by a flamboyant democratic
press, does not stand for certain prin-
ciples of government which will, il
enacted in to law, bring about stagna-
ton of business and closed doors for
factories, and low wages, and poor re
turns for the farmers.
We do not say the election of Will
son and a democratic legislative body
will mean that-we ask that question.
Does the democratic party, now
headed By Woodrow Wilson, stand for
the kind of free trade that will knock
the business interests of Maine and
New England into the middle of next
week?
We wonder if the democratic partg
has greatly changed in the last few
years.
1t is almost disheartening to hear
political discussions that center about
the personality OF the candidate in
stead of about the great all-important
party principles.
In these days of great national
growth, of tremendous establishments
of commercial interests, when men
seem to be easily led astray by the
whimsical ambitions of self-appointed
leaders, there comes to be q strong de-
mand for men of clear vision and of
unruffled reasoning The number of
those who are willing to study the
problems and settle them honestly, in
the clear light of their study. are few
indeed. But happily it is these men,
these real students of affairs, who can
at important crises demand the
thoughts of those who apparently give
little heed to the deeper significance
of important party declarations.
Whether you like Taft or adore
Wilson or admire" Roosevelt mat
tiers very little. No one of them, If in
the White House, could do much. The
question should be whether you like"
free tsade, or adore" protection, or
admire sound doctrines
Whatever you do as men, don't be
girlish; use your think-tanks and see
to it that no bubbles get on the sur
face.
And before you discuss candidates
be sure that you have read the party
platforms and know what your party
or somebody else's party stands for.
That's one use to which think
tank can be splendidly put.

HERE'S A CHANCE FOR
WOMEN AND GIRLS TO MAKE
CHRISTMAS MONEY

The women and girls of Hattiesburg
will all be rolling up their sleeves and
putting on their aprons for a try at
that $1,000 Prize Contest, mentioned
on page today. It isn't often that an
opportunity like this comes their way
either-with q chance to get a good
sum of eXtr- Christmas money for so
little effort, because candy. fudge and
cake making isn't hardin fact, it's
very simp'e and any girl Or woman
en- easily accomplish it. No expert
ence is required, and almost anyone is
liable to win a prize. Let everyone of
the gentler sex in Hattie5burg try it.
The offer, by Penick e. Ford makers of
Red Label Velva Syrup, is as generous
as it is unusual, and 1t gives an oppor-
tunity seldom offered by any manu-
facturer, Some of that money certain
ly ought to come to Hattiesburg.-Ad-
vertisement.

and now one sees quantities Of collars
which, instead of rolling slightly and
then turning down In deep points,
fare out from the throat and roll at
the edge without turning down. OF
course, in all such shapes there Is
some faint echo of the famous Medici
collar, and 30 the name clings to all
the variations on the theme.
The Directoire lines have not disap-
peared from modish neckwear, have
indeed taken on a new lease of life,
rather spreading type of the high turn
down or rolling Directoire collar hav-
ing a place upon many of the coats
and blouses, while the high rundown
collar held close to the neck is much
worn. This latter shape is usually
held in place by bow or strap across
the front; but, like the close-fitting
stock with Medici flare at the top and
open front, this class of Directoire col
lar sometimes is stoutly boned or
wired into place.
Chenille-dotted shadow wells are
steadily forging to the front Plain
mesh effects are worn by a conserva-
tive few who do not admire the shadow
wells.
The black or white Shetland wells
are enjoying a continued popularity
from last season, and the magpie Shet-
lands are worn by many of the smart
est dressers.
Accordion-p,aited net is very much
used for young girls dresses, There
are lovely little gowns. simply made of
this material or of goffered pearlwhite
chiffon, into which is spliced panel
of shadow lace, pleated to match.
A very evident trimming on the new
neckwear is buckles. They are enam-
eled and sometimes of fabric, but they
give a smart finish to lace and linen.
Charming little fur hats are made
to match the fur set worn. For in
stance, a hat of soft moleskin in tam
o'-shanter style is simply trimmed with
an aigrette.
Fur trimmings have also extended to
children's fashions. The handsomest
winter coats for children have fur
trimmed collars and cuffs.

Fads and Fashions

By FLORENCE EAIRRANKS

New York, Nov. 16.-Some Of the
most picturesque models that may be
seen in the shops and fashionable
dress-making establishments are Of the
Directoire period. The short-waisted
coat, with its deep collar and broad
hpels, the frills of lace adjoining the
front and sleeves, the wide sash knot,
ted at the side, the slashed-up skirt
and the smart turned-up hat, with it's
stiff cockade-all have been revived
to a marked extent in the modes of the
present season.
The tall woman should revel in this
fact, for she appears at her best when
attired in a Directoire gown. Grace
and dignity are contributed by these
fashions. Materials are seen at their
best when used to fashion an artistic
costume OF this period
Not every one can afford frocks OF
the new extremely fashionable silk
velvet, so velveteen was manufactured
as cheaper substitute. 1t Is lovely,
and gives almost the same effect as
silk velvet when made up. velveteen
and corduroy are used to fashion many
smart frocks for street wear.
Plain colors are more frequently
used for the velveteen models. They
are effectively trimmed with fur mo-
tallic laces, Persian or tapestry en-
broidery. Velveteen does not adapt
itself SO successfully 10 draping as do
the softer velvets, 80 the skirts are
usually plain or with pleated insets.
The bodices are In jumper effects, with
guimpes of lace or chiffon. Corduroys
In the soft-fnished qualities are ex-
tsnsively used. Frocks and coat suits
are developed from this material and
seem to find a ready sale.
