"SPEAK OUT! SPEAK oUrw

WiIson-MarshaI Mush.

Speak out! Speak out!" is the al
most desperate cry Of the New York,
World, the newspaper chiefly re-
sponsible for the nomination of Wood
row Wilson in 1912, as it was for the
nomination of Alton B. Parker in
1904. Day after day, it seems, the

as much relation to issues of the CAM

led to curious crowds and to editors

sentiment by I'VE asked you for

ated with Wilson they turned to Mar
shall only to find him as aperient of
vacuous platitudes as his coadjutor.
It's hopeless appeal AS well try
to seize the elusive tail of creased
pig at county fair as expect to get
anything definite out of Wilson. He
was definite enough when he said in
his History of the American Peo-
pie that the Chinese are more to be
desired as workmen, if not as citi-
zens.' than "the coarse crew crowding
in at eastern ports"--that is, immi-
grants from Europe He was definite
enough in saying in the same book
that congress had dealt very harshly"
in passing the law excluding Chinese
from the United States. He was def
mite enough in denouncing immigrants
from Poland, Hungary and Italy.
Evidently Wilson can speak out IL
he wants to, and the inference is that
he is afraid to. On the issue of

more like one of those ancient Egyp-
tian monstrosities carved on the num-
my cases, with heads looking contrari-
wise. On one point he is definite-he
wants to be president, and he doesn't
care much how he gets there. He Is
willing to slosh through sea of bosh
to the White House, and now that he
has the nomination he counts upon

doodles to follow, whether they like
his style or not.
Perhaps they will, Notwithstanding

As there has been a great deal Of
contention in this county as to wheth-
err township trustees are entitled to be

in general elections. county auditor
Lewis Bowman recently wrote to
Thomas NJ. Honan, attorney general,
for his opinion. In a letter received
by Auditor Bowman this morning,
Honan states that township trustees
are not entitled to inspectorship of
the board OF registration by virtue of
their office. but that the county coul-
missioners may appoint them. or 9th
ers who mthey desire to appoint as
inspectors.
For some time the trustees in
Wayne county have pressed their
claims. saying that they should be ap-
pointed inspectors under the new reg
istration act. Their claims were sub
stantiated by number Of persons,
while others declared chat 1t was not
compulsory to appoint them.

This Small World.

This is getting to be a mighty small
world compared to what it used to
be-" said a telegraph operator. I'm
handling a cable wire now. The other
night the cable editor Of one of our
daily papers called me up over the tele-
phone and asked me whether his cor.
respondent down at Cape Haitien had
filed anything. The wire from Cape
Haitien had just called. and l told him
to wait a moment. Then ! went to my
key and in an instant learned that the
correspondent had just dled thousand
words. went back to the telephone
and reported the fact to the editor. It
didn't take nearly as long for him to
get that information all the way from
Cape Haitien. more than a thousand
miles distant, as it has for me to tell
you about it."-New York Herald.

Care of Hardwood Floors.

Whether one uses carpets or rugs is a
matter which can be decided by prefer
ence, as there are carpets Of all prices
and rugs Of the same variety. The ad-
vantage Of bare floor with rugs lies
in the superior cleanliness and its artistic
effect.
Many housekeepers claim that bare
floors are hard to care for. as they show
dust SO readily. A bare floor does not
make dust; it shows it. The dust would
be there if a carpet We're used, and it
would rest there-perhaps a week-ready
to rise in the air at every football. Be-
cause it is not as easily seen it is not
as often removed
Many claim that bare floors are cold.
but the hardwood floor is as a rule laid
over a rough one, and is therefore warm
err than a single floor. Whether they are
waxed or oiled or vanished is a matter
of expense and taste. Uncovered floors
do perhaps need care a little oftener
than a surface that is carpeted, but when
one compares the weekly care of a hard
wood floor with the weekly care of heavy
carpet the advantage is sure to be in ia
vor of the former.
Floors need not be SO highly polished
as to be dangerous Oiled floors are less
slippery than waxed ones, and the harder
floor is rubbed in finishing the more
beautiful and the more slippery 1t will be-
Floors finished with encaustic can be

with wax. Large rugs not only look bet
ter on a floor than small ones, but they
are safer, being less liable to slip about.
On no account should water-hot or
cold-or soap be used to clean a finished
floor, as such treatment will completely
ruin any kind of finish a floor might
have. Even drops of clean cold water will
SPOT a finished floor unless they are wiped
up at once.
The daily care of hardwood floor is
very simple, not nearly SO difficult mat
ter as some seem to think. The surface
should be wiped with broom covered
with a canton flannel bag or a long
handled dust mop sold for just this use. If
any spots are seen they should be rubbed
off with a flannel and little turpentine.
Once a week d brisk rubbing with
cloth moistened with crude oil and tur-
pentine. in equal parts. will be sufficient.
If large rugs are used only the spaces
shown between them need be rubbed
Twice a year the floor should be thor
oughly cleaned and polished by one who
understands the work. Prepared. polishes
and wax may be bought ready for use.
Heavy furniture should never be rolled
about on a handsome floor. and felt is
sold to be glued on the feet Of large
pieces Of furniture.

Grown-ups may make frock or a coat
answer very satisfactorily for two sea-
sons, but, unfortunately, children's
clothes have to be constantly replaced as
they are outgrown. This year, however.
the introduction Of frills and founces
renders the making-over process much
less difficult.
For the very small girl the model
sketched affords a suggestion for any
material, although in the original very
delicate blue taffeta was used, which. in
itself, makes for a novelty. The little
dress is in one piece, with the sleeves
in one, with the body and the neck very
slightly cut out.
Oddly enough, the sash is Of fine batiste
and Is run through eyelets at either side
of the front, tying in a careless bow at
the back. The scrolls that finish the bot
tom of the frock, which reaches barely to
the knees, and that decorate the short
that turns away from the neck is of
batiste, simply embroidered.
The little model could be done in linen
or in crash with the lower edge and
place of the scrolls that are so effective
in the taffeta.
Many of the designs for little folks that
appear complicated are really simple,

VARIOUS VERSIONS
OF THE BLOUSE

Although the blouse for correct wear
should be the same color as the skirt, it
need not be necessarily of the same ma
terial. even when the lighter fabrics are
employed. Ninon and chiffon blouses will
be worn great deal with the taffeta
coats and skirts. which are to be greatly
favored this spring.
1t is pretty idea to line these blouses
with lace Innings. which are made in
camisole fashion and run with decorative
ribbons of contrasting shades. For in
stance. blouse of French blue chiffon
was prettily lace lined, with pale blue
satin ribbon underneath, and another in
black over lace made in Vandyck points
run with cerise velvet was most effective,
further decoration being a chou Of
crepe de chine on the left side.
There is fancy also for tiny satin rib
bon floral sprays as decorative effects to
the new blouses. For the most part they
will be deliberately trimmed with costly
laces and oriental embroideries
For morning wear the simple silk shirt
with polo collar is becoming very general,
and some dainty little lingerie blouses
are being made in this style in clear
white muslin. with colored pipings and
ties in green, pink, mauve or blue.
Some smart blouses are made in suede
especially for motoring: the favorite
shades are gray. blue and fawn, with
touches of black.
Violet is to play an important part in
color schemes for the spring season, and
already many pretty combinations Of this
with other shades are to be seen. An
