The room with heart in it-where
business is laid aside and all the petty
annoyances Of Office work can be shut
out for a little while-is the rest room

void of human feeling and perception.
The room is an inspiration. And an

Under the Republican party, long
intrenched and deeming itself impreg-
nable, the government was rapidly
drifting into the rut of inefficiency, be-
ing over-sloughed by the canker of OIL
igarchy and Arrogance. The bureau
crat, deeming himself a permanency,
was becoming, bad in some cases al
ready become, a menace. The monop-
olist, fattened by the nourishment of
perverted governmental power, month
by month widened his predatory range,
viewed with more insolence his license
to prey upon the people. Momentous
economic and social problems were, to
use the vernacular of the national
sport, being constantly "muffed" by
the party in power. Ability to grasp
and handle important subjects, vitality
and courage to meet critical situations,
had passed from it. Gradually, by in
evitable accretion, came the demand
for wholesale revolution, that should
spare not hide nor hair of the ancient
regime.
This change the people decreed
when they voted Wilson and Democ-
racy into power. The very hugeness
of the marching orders signifies what
the nation expects. 1t anticipates a

wholesale readjustment. 1t demands
the solution, in sobriety and not rad
icalism, of the problem of the tariff,
and of those mighty social problems
we all know have been increasingly
pressing for action. Oligarchy must
be scoruged forth. Legislation must
be for the popular welfare, not for a
close corporation of a favored few.
The incapacity manifest under Repub-
lican rule must be replaced by alert
ness, ability. Indifference to the pub
lie will must find substitute in an ell
ectrical response to those things the
people demand and will have. The
sluggish and clogged wheels of admin
istration must be cleansed and made to
whirl symmetrically and to definite
end.
In other words, the country is due
the most thorough governmental house
cleaning it has had in half century.
The undertaking has been intrusted to

TAFT PUTS IT
UP SQUARELY
To SENATE
NAMESCLARK FOR LONG Term
Democrats May Hold Up All
Appointments

Washington, c., Dec president
Taft has appointed Edgar E. Clark, of
Iowa, to another term of seven years
as a member of the interstate COM
merce commission. In making this
appointment Mr.. Taft is prepared to
force the issue which senate democrats
will raise as to the right he has to
fill important federal offices on the
eve of democratic administration.
Mr. Clark is a republican and is ii
former railroad man, He was grand
chief conductor of the Order of Rail-
way Conductors of America, and has
been the representative of the train
men on the commission since he was
first named, seven years ago.
The significance of the appointment
lies in the fact that the president is
carrying into effect declaration made
recently when he let it be known that
he would continue to name republic
cans for federal offices as long as va
cancies occurred in his administra-
ton.
This appointment must be confirmed
by the senate if it is to hold Already
senate democrats have asserted from
time to time that they would find
means of blckoing every such APP
pointment. They have said that the
president should not expect the priv
| ilege of naming republicans who are
to hold Office during any considerable
period of a democratic administra-
ton.
These threats have not deferred the
president however He authorized the
statement that Mr.. Clark had been re-
appointed and that his nomination
would be sent to the senate as soon az
that body assembled for the winter
session. Mr.. Clark will continue to
hold Office until his nomination is re-
jected or until a successor may be
named. Moreover, the president means
to send other nominations.
The democrats in the senate are far
from actually controlling that body,
but they are strong enough, IL they
stand together, to prevent any nomi-
nation between now and March be-
ing confirmed. Many individual mem
bers have declared that they would
organize AN effective opposition K
such nominations.

PARIS EVENING
ETHEREALITIES
A Touch Of Dark Fur DistiA.
guiShGS Opera Dress

Paris, Dec. LACE and fur must
appear on every evening dress which
wishes to CALI itself in any way mp-to-
date. The marrow strips of fur which
edge our chiffon iholeros, lace tunics
or tulle sleeves and outline our dec
olletages are particularly becoming,
and, if chosen in black or very &ark
brown, are we'll calculated to supply
thas sombre note which gives the
real cachet 10 any light-colored and
ethereal creation.
Those evening gowns with pleated
chiffon skirts are very popular for the
lighier-weight models, and some OF
them are very beautiful.
These dresses, more than any others,
are decorated with paste gallon, cut
steel set and diamante trimmings. All
these very ethereal dresses, among
other reasons, have developed in the
FrenchWoman the love for the scarf
"a fancy which she, until this year
OF grace, has almost despised-and the
fashions once learned will hardly be
discontinued, so comfortable is it.
This always means number of real
ly warm chiffon or crepe de chine
scarves, for the Frenchwoman is a
VIGOROUSLY cold little lady, and must
cover her shoulders up, unless when
dancing. Hence the sudden craze for
all sorts of shawl-like scarves for ey-
ening wear, which becomes more and
more beautiful and luxurious every
day,
Some of them are really small |
shawls cut very long; an old-fashicn-
ed Paisley shawl cut in two and edg-
ed with fur or feathers, forms an
excellent example of the size and I
shape mostly worn. The material may
be almost anything chosen among the
very richest and most supple of the
materials at our hands
nowadays. Chiffon brocade with its
large flowers in raised velvet on the
finest chiffon ground is one of the fay-
,rite scarf fabrics.
