MAKES ARTISTIC SASH
EFFECTIVE DSAPgRY OF WIDE
MgssALINg, SATIN OR BLK,
VIII Go Far In DRESSING Up a Simply
Made House or Evening Frook--
oolors That Make Most
Fetching Combination.

Absolutely new in sashes and IN &C.
oessory Of the sort that will do won
ders toward the dressing up of a sim
ply made house or evening frook Is
the one TO be fashioned from o yard
and q half strp of the very widest
messaline, satin or silk prooursble,
as the material should be doubled over
and the two long edges invisibly
Joined before the portion to be draped
about the waist Ia attached to a foun-
dalton girdle This girdle of stiffiy
staFohed linen Oh canvas or Of heavy
taffsta should be shaped very high at
the back, taper toward the sides, wild
en- slightly toward the front and then
covered with the sash material which,
starting from the front and at the left
side, goes about the waist and slides
through al ornam entail and very large
square buckle at the ether end, whence
1t falls straight down the left side In
a single broad, heavy end. which is
embroidered In ~self-oolor, with white,
gold or silvsd, sppliqued with tinsel
medRllions or beaded In Oriental eff
feet and finally fringed with deep,
knotted silk or tinsel fringe. The
buckle, also handmade, should as
nearly as possible match the trim
ming scheme Of the sash end and Is
easily made by covering a cardboard
or leather foundation with the desired
shade OF satin, with a tinsel cloth or
with q Northumberland fabric. The
idea fs to produce q rich effect and
the model affords a good opportunity
for the exercise Of personal ingenuity.
For instance, IL shot taffeta in rose
and gold Is employed for the sash, the
large buckle should be of cloth of gold
embroidered with rhinestone beads,
the straight end embroidered with
gold tinsel and rhinestone bead
strands. On a white lingerie house
frock an embroidered black velvet
sash is particularly stunning, but on
account Of the bulk Of even the chif-
fon velvets, the portion encircling the
waist should not be doubled and the
depending end would best be silk-lined.
Chiffon or Brussels net. II heavily Dor
dered and embroidered In pearl, crys-
tai or silver beads, makes a lovely
girdle for a young girls dancing frock
and in that event the portion going
around the waist should be mounted
upon satin decorated to match the
sash end, while the buckle should
match the color scheme OF the fringe.

Great variety exists in the applica-
ton of pu~nch-work, says the Dry
Goods Economist. This stitch Is used
l n medallion effect. as a background
to bring a design into strong relief, or
to form the whole Or a portion OF a
design. An excellent illustration Of the
last mentioned method Of application
is noted IN a poppy design with punch
work petals, which comes in scarfs
and pillow tops, and in a highly IA
vored butterfly design with punch
work wings, the latter being one of the
favorite designs in guest towels.

Crops and Prices

The department of agriculture
gives official estimates of the princi-
pal crops in this country this year
as follows: Wheat 72O,000,0O0
bushels, oats 1.417,172,O0O bushels,
barley 100000 bushels, rye 35,-
422,OOO bushels, hay 72,425,O00
tons, corn 3O,O16,OOO bushels.
buckwheat 100000 bushels, po-
tatoes 4O1, 100000 bushels and to-
bacco 974,OOO,OOO pounds. Spring
wheat, oats, barley, rye and hay
have exceeded the best record pro-
auctions, while corn and potatoes
promise the same when the harvest
is completed.
Notwithstanding this enormous
store of agricultural products the
farmer can purchase more merchan-
disc with his produce today than
ever before. So he must be ad-
mitted to be enjoying prosperity. The
yield of crops cannot be entirely
credited to 1.-The administration" but
some credit is due to the efforts Of
the federal government to help farm
ers get etterreturns per acre of their
cultivated land. The price of farm
products is due to the profitable en-
ployment of so many laborers i'll
American industries. This profitable
employment gives them money with
which to purchase freely the neces-
stiles of life. They are larger con-
sumers than they would be at re-
duced wages. The activity in indus
trial life is largely due to the pres
ent system of protecting the Ameri-
can manufacturer from the competi-
ton of the cheap labor in foreign
countries. 1t will be continued If the
republicans are continued in power
and stopped if the democrats get in
power. So the present prosperity OF
the farmer is a strong argument for
him to stand Loyalty for the party
that has brought it to him. No party
Roosevelt Notwithstanding can
make everybody rich and comfort
able and it is bold politician who
will promise better times than we
are now enjoying. Our prosperity
and stable industrial conditions is
one of the strongest reasons the
republican party has for asking it's
continuance in power. To keep on
doing we'll enough is the surest road
to success.

Taft on the Rnn Moose

We have not seen anywhere a
clearer or more comprehensive es-
innate of Roosevelt and the third
party movement than that given out
by President Taft in an interview at
Beverly, Mass, last week. 1t is also
free from rancor, such as might nat
urally faint such an utterance. 1t
follows in full, beginning with this
reference to Colonel Roosevelt.
81 entertain no feeling of bitter
ness toward him. / simply regard my
former friend, Mr.. Roosevelt, as one
of the most wonderful and rare men
in the world-a remarkable example
of what human nature is capable of
doing with itself, for itself and by
itself when unbounded ambition and
certain attractive personal qualities
are united in a single individuality.
1.-THE progressive leader, though
he may be unconscious of it, is act
ually convinced that affairs in this
country have reached a state where
in a benevolent despotism is de-
manded in order to secure a mile
MUM and secure happiness to the
people, and that he alone is fitted for
that benevolent despotism."
OF the progressive party platform
he said
ct is fraught with more danger
to the orderly progress, the peace,
the dignity, the sanity and the health
of the republic than any movement
of wide reach since the Civil War. It
seeks to transplant to this country
the English system of government,
and that only in it's worst form.
"Mr. Roosevelt and his followers
would do away completely with the
constitution framed by the fathers Of
the republic and substitute for it the
British form of constitution, which
is no constitution at all, but merely a
tradition.
''They would wholly destroy all
constitutional limitations and re-
strictions, and replace them with the
unchecked will and emotions of
bare majority of the people. They
would make the congress a perman-
ent constitutional convention, sub
ject only to the momentary whim of
bare majority of people that they
themselves would control, and their
full program would place that con-
troll in the hands of the president.
''The progressive party program
seeks in every essential detail to
strengthen the executive authority.
1t seeks to do this by taking from
Congress the exclusive right to~Iegis-
late and from the courts the exclu-
sive AUTHORITY to interpret the laws
and apply the established constitu-
tional restrictions and limitations.
For these it would substitute
commissions to be appointed by the
president, subject wholly to his will.
In the end, he alone would be the
center of authority, the giver of all
good gifts and the administrator Of
rewards and punishments. - Her

President Taft's Visit

There are many satisfactory fea-
lures of President Taft's visit to Yer
mont and to st. Johnsbury. First it
gave the residents of this town an
to learn the estimate and
appreciation of the Hon. Henry G.
Ide in his work in the larger field.
1t may lead to a better understanding
of the mans ability among his neigh
bors who have never been brought
in contact with him as national and
international figure. His reference
to the Fairbanks scales showed that
even the greatest men. of our coun-
try are familiar with St. Johnsbury's
leading industry.
Another local result that was
pleasing was the unanimity with
which St. Johnsbury people sought
to honor the president regardless of
their political beliefs. On every hand
there was enthusiasm and respect for
the head of our national government
which are unmistakable signs OF
good citizenship and this demonstra-
ton should make us appreciate more
highly our own neighbors and
friends.
The best result of the visit was the
opportunity it gave the people in
this section to see and become better
acquainted with the president as &
man. His good nature, thorough
honesty, strength of character and
faith in the American people an6
American government impressed
themselves on all who heard him
Perhaps one of the best expression
concerning himself made during hi
stay in Vermont was at Montpelier
when he said
I'm not a muck-raker, a calami
ty bowler or one who says every
thing is wrong. Everything is mor'
nearly right than a great many PEG
pie are willing to admit blu
that's far from saying there il
not room for improvement. It is thu
business of all of us to make thing
better where a remedy is possible.

Roosevelt and the People

Theodore Roosevelt vOciferously
claims that he represents the people
in the present presidential contest
but we cannot help noticing some of
the people he represents.
First he represents $4,000 of
Dan R. Hanna's money which he con-
tributed to the preconvention cam
paign. Mr.. Hanna is a son of the late
Mark Hanna who so faithfully rep
resented the people and was de-
PENDANT in a suit brought by the
government in which he was fined
for granting rebates in violation of
law.
He represents $4,000 or more of
Frank A Munsey's money, adefender
of trusts and the owner of several
magazines on which the rate of pos
tage was raised last fall on account
Of the advertising they carried and
who is trying to get back at the ad-
ministration which brought him to
justice.
He represents $4,000 of Bill
Flinns money, the discredited boss
of the republican party in Pennsyl-
vania, who is now seeking to get
even with the men who rejected him.
He represents $4,000 or more of
George w. Perkins money, an influ-
entail member of the Harvester
Trust which was exempted from pro-
secution under the Sherman law by
the personal direction of Pres. Roose-
welt but which is being prosecuted
for violation of the law under the
Taft administration.
1t makes us laugh to hear faithful
Roosevelt boosters admit that Pres.
Taft Is a good man but not able to
cope with 1.-The interests" and that
Roosevelt is the only man who can
do It. No candidate now before the
people has received so big contri-

In the selection of committees in
the legislature no attention was CIV
en- to a mans politics. If he was a
good man for the position he was
given the place. This is not a new
practice but one that has been in
vogue for many years. 1t has pro-
tected Vermont from political laws in
the past and is the best promise we
can have that we shall get only such
laws as will benefit the state enact
ed at this session.
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1912-10-16

The senate investigating commit
tee has found that some money has
been spent in behalf of Pres. Taft.
To be more explicit they found pre-
convention expenses amounting to
$486,O and of this sum Charles
P. Taft, brother of the president,
contributed $215, 900. At the same
time the committee had discovered
1896, 900 expended in the preconven-
ton fight of Theodore Roosevelt. OF
this sum $287,OOO was contributed
by Dan r. Hanna, George w.
Perkins and Frank A Munsey.
Mckinley, Taft's campaign man
ager, told the committee that they
had been forced to expend five times
as much money as they expected
when the campaign opened. These
are large sums of money but the
managers of each campaign claim
the money was all used for legiti-
mate purposes. Pres. Taft has q
good brother but it must be gener.
ally admitted that he is safer con
tributor than some trust men.

les in Portland today completely
lost his temper over the loss of a
book he had been reading and
made things exceedingly unpleasant
for a considerable number of per-
sons, including his secretary, the
management of the hotel where he
was staying and his hosts. The
Colonel had set brief time aside for
rest, and dropping into a chair called
for copy of 1.-THE Second Roman
Republic" which he laid down in
the room. When it was found ia be
missing he few into a maniacal rage.
Find me that book" he yelled at
his secretary. II want it now"
The Colonel paced the room like
Gagged beast while he waited for the
volume, in the meantime demanding
over and over again that the book
be produced.
Secretaries, hotel attaches and
members Of the reception committee
joined in the search, but the book
was gone.
Roosevelt demanded to know who
had been admitted to his room after
he had left and was told that no one
had. The name of a woman to whom
he had shown the book in the morn
ing was mentioned, but Roosevelt
cleared her Of suspicion of taking II.
After leaving the hotel his amaZ-
ing anger did not abate, and when
his Auditorium speech was finished
he announced he had decided not to
return to the hotel for dinner, but
go directly to his train.
On the way, however, he stopped
at the hotel, the Oregon, and called
for the manager. Then before his at
tendants and the reception commit
tee and scores of onlookers he gave
the manager a vicious call-down for
the loss of the book and demanded
that the hotel advertise for 1t. Every
one who heard the unprintable Ian
guage employed was astonished
at the Colonel's outbreak over what
anyone else would have regarded as
a trifie.

A Rebuke to ''steal'' Talk

The detection of Gov. Hadley of
Missouri, who has come out publicly
in support of President Taft, is a
staggering blow to the third-term
candidacy. His position today is
rebuke to all the talk of a "steal'
in the republican national conven-
ton. Hadley was the Roosevelt floor
leader in the convention and was in
a position to have an intimate
knowledge of facts concerning con-
tested delegations. Gov. Hadley's
veracity and integrity have not been
impugned heretofore. To continue
the talk about stealing" is to brand
Hadley as an accessory after the
fact. Gov. Deneen of Illinois
is another erstwhile Roosevelt lead
er who is now supporting the regu-
lar republican ticket. Charles S.
Baxter, who headed the list of Roose-
welt delegates-at-large in Massa-
chusetts, has made an outright dec
laration this week in support of
President Taft.-CVermont Phoenix.

We hear and read much these days
about the mistakes and errors of
President Taft. To my mind it is true
to this extent:
President Taft made one mistake
when he failed to establish a press
bureau to constantly pour forth a
stream Of panegyric and fulsome eu-
logy whenever he moved; to hang
upon his words as bees to the honey
of Hym8ttus."
Another mistake was not to have
a kodak corps to picture his every
movement from the rising of the
sun until the going down OF the
same"
Another mistake was not to pose
as the first and ultimate authority
upon all things celestial and terres-
trial SINCE creations dawn.
President Taft made an egregious
error when he did not assemble a
corps of noisy claquers to proclaim
to a wondering world his transcend
ent moral, mental and physical abili-
/ ty and to point out how much better
he could do in every department of
human endeavor than anybody, any
where, at any time or place.
Another mistake was not to have
posed as the only truthful, virtuous
and righteous man, wholly destitute
Iof evil, and moved only by strictly
honorable purposes.
Another mistake was in not de-
claring that his unsupported asser-
tons upon all subjects must be &C
cepted as ex-cathedra and that doc
uments and affidaYits were incompe-
tent, and irrelevant and immaterial,
and if they were to the contrary,
were, necessarily, misleading and
labsurd.
He made another mistake when he
failed to acquire an exorbitant
amount of information about
things that amt so,' as Josh Bill
llings said, and not becoming obsess-
ed with a mania for inf1icting said
information" upon a guileless and
Ipatient public
, To my mind, however, President
Taft's greatest error consisted Of
: being a simple-hearted, serene-mind
ed, transformations gentleman, free
=, from posture and pretence. and WHIT
had inherited and acquired a pro
: found reverence for the old Land
marks" under whose guidance WI
have secured and maintained free
dom, peace, prosperity, and demon
strated ''it is a goodly land that tn,
Lord our God hath given us. III
