AS A LAST RESORT

| do not believe in adopting the
recall save as last resort, when
it has become clearly evident that
no other course will achieve the de-
sired result But either the re-
call will have to be adopted or else
1t will have to be made much easier
than it now Is to get rid, not
merely Of a bad judge, but of a
judge who, however virtuous, has
grown so out of touch with social
needs and facts that he is unfit
longer to render good service on
the bench. 1t is nonsence to say
that impeachment meets the diff

found that impeachment does not

No Whip-Won Victory

Under the caption, The New
Birth in Illinois" the Chicago Tri-
bune, commenting on that states
primary, says in part:
The action 10 force a special ses-
sion of the legislature which gave
Illinois the first preferential pri-
mary in the history of the state
NOW has been splendidly justified
The voters of the state seized upon
the opportunity thus unexps tedly
given them to declare directly by
what men in their respective par
ties they should be led. The ballot
cast was probably the heaviest ever
cast at a primary in Illinois. The
victory for Colonel Roosevelt is sign
ficant of the will of Illinois and of
the Middle West, at least. 1t was
not victory of discipline and organ
ization. There was no whip to
to crack over the voters, no prizes t
tempt. The victory is a pledge of
the militant progressiveism of
the West and the march of it will
not be stayed.

NORTH AND SOUTH POLES


The discovery of the South Pol

The South Pole is on plateau
100000 feet high, several hundred
feet above the altitude of Cripple
Creek, Col. The North Pole Isl in
mid-ocean, with a depth of more
than nine thousand feet of water.
The South Polar regions include
vast Antarctic continent. The
North Polar regions embrace an
ocean basin surrounded by the con-
tinents of Europe, Asia and Ameri-
ca
The South Pole is about three
hundred miles from the ocean on
the route taken by Amundsen. The
North Pole is AIS miles from the
nearest land.
The chief obstacles to reaching
the South Fole are a mountain
chain and the difficulty of travelling
in the rarefied air OF the high alti-
tude. The chief obstacle to reach
ing the North Pole is the nature
of the ice floe to be traversed and
the danger of its breaking up.

from 500 to 1000 feet thick, and
with an area larger than that of
New York, Massachusetts,, New
Hampshire and Vermont combined.
Amundsen crossed it for nearly
four hundred miles before he reach

three hundred miles away. Across
this continent he and other ex-
plorers found a mountain rangeI
reaching am estimated height of
fifteen thousand feet.
The outlines of this continent are
not known. Indeed, its existence
is only surmised from the fact that
explorers attacking the pole from

tucked closely and finished at the round
neck with oriental embroidery. Skirt
and bodice are Joined -at the natural
waist line under an elaborate braiding of
soutache. and the long sleeves have SOU
tache loops and tiny buttons to the ell

LATEST FABRIC AND
RiBBON-TPIMMED HATS

Tor between-season wear the fabric hat
with straw facing is ideal. Taffeta.
which will be the leading silk fabric used
during the spring, is employed in the ma
jority of these new demi-saison styles.
The highly lustrous taffeta in plain col
ors and changeable effects. which is heav-
Ter than last season, but extremely pill
able, is often loosely and with studied
carelessness draped over the foundation
of the hat, one section ofttimes being en-
ployed for draping both crown and brim,
and at the same time affording the trim
ming; large, sprawling bows being effect
ed by deft drapng, shirred and corded
trimming bands, and soft, puffy frills,
ruches and rosettes.
A very attractive hat for such a pur-
pose, which is easy to construct, has the
entire surface of the hat, brim and all,
covered with q large square Of the tat
feta, the fullnesS of which is regulated
by evenly spaced cord shirrings. The hat
is trimmed with a Voluminous bow OF the
taffeta, and these cord shirrings also
serve to separate the trimming bow from
the hat drapery. A facing of White horse
hair braid would be effective with almost
any shade of taffeta that might be used
as a trimming. A cluster of fuil-bloWn
roses would complete this charming and
Servicea BILE hat.
The ribbon-trimmed hat will be much
worn in the intervening time between now
and spring We shall see chic wing bows,
UNIQUE shirring, and other graceful and
yet alive-look.ng arrangements of ribbon
on hats Sometimes from ten to fifteen
wards Of ribbon are used on one hat, but
nothing else is needed. nothing else could
supplement this superb trim. Very smart
are bows of striped black and white rib
bon edged with velvet in blue tint, OF
ribbon feathers carried out in drawn
mallye and violet ribbon, wired into
shape, or an enormous cocade and fan
in rich old blue ribbon, or donkeys ears
lined with cerise satin and sticking up
most audaciously.

fashionable must be creamy n tone and
not dazzling white. Pale ecru batisfe
and delicately tinted ecru and tan iaces
are used, and the embroidery on ths tan
batiste or linen is done with :an cotton,
or it may be in a slightly deeper tan
tone. producing soft, two-tone effect.
Even coat sets come in these pale tan
colorings, and, by the by, with these
creamy and tan neck and sleeve deco

NOUS contrast, SO cream-colored or pale
yellow gloves are being worm Parisians
on the French Riviera this season have
worn champagne colored silk gloves en-
broidered in self color, and the observing
ones whisper that above the neat high
buttoned boots champagne-colored en-
breidered silk stockings match the gloves.
Since most French skirts are slashed
several inches above the hem now, it is
more than likely that the observing ones
have seen what they claimed.
The woman who owns a very handsome
collar or jabot made of batiste and cluny
lace may dip it in a solution of weak cof-
fee or tea and turn 1t a pale tan color
if he desires, but, of course, thi. process:
must be repeated each time the belong
ing is laundered, whereas the genuine
tan neckweaf, dyed in this shade, retains
its tint through many launderings. The
new coat sets have three-cornered re-
yers,. which fall over one side of the
coat front. Sometimes these revers are
triangular and sometimes the corners
are squared Off the insertion used as
trimming following the shape of the edge
all around. Plisse frills of fine lace are
becoming to women who have long neck
and sloping shoulders, but the square
shouldered woman should be wary OF
these frills, which are apt to give q
chunky appearance unless basted fla
against the bodice. A beautiful froci
just from Paris is of tan-colored mohail
and is very simply made. with buttons
all the way down the front of the tunit
and a narrow belt with huge old ivory
buckle in front. The neck is finished
with an ecru venise collar run by hanC
with pale yellow silk threads, and the
cuffs match this collar.

seen to nestle in the hair, or rest on the
corsage. or appear on muffs of fur or fab

would fasten a genuine blossom. Some of
the newest of these floral pins are made
with ecru or white maline lace touched off

Busy Fingers Crocheting
Metallic BIouSeS Now

THE woman who can make crOcheted
lace. or the coarse. heavy type which
used to be called macrame, can have a
stunning blouse at very little expense.
Macrame, or Crochet poiRt," as it is now
called, is exceedingly fashionable, and
collars coat trimmings and wide bands
for skirt tunics are made of this effec-
tive lace with it's bold stitch. Bands. of
macrame, set together with real cluny,
were used for very good looking blouse,
worn with velvet coat and skirt suit
this winter. the macrame being mounted
over guimpe of thin, pale tan silk.
The same sort Of lace, crocheted frem
gold or silver cord, is being made up
into effective blouses for spring wear.
Rather fine cord should be used, and
the sort that comes on large spools is
the best to use, as spool will go long
way without the necessity of tying
threads

Dress Fabrics for Spring.

IN wool fabrics for early spring the lead
ing colors will be blues in navy, king s,
national, new navy, Persian, sapphire and
cadet. Tans will range from champagne,
tan and khaki shades, graduating into to-
bac and golden browns. In mixtures
grays and tans will take the lead over
other colors. Cream dress goods in all
wool materials will be exceedingly popu-
lar. In regard to materials serges in
diagonals, whipcords, French serges and
storm serges will be much worn. For
tailored suits, skirts, ETC., cream serges
have single or double lines in black. Half
wool and all-wool challis have neat fig
ures and borders. Black mohairs and
voiles are very effective with their pretty
borders and woven designs
Among the heavier weights in cotton
goods galatea is well liked, and is brought
out in neat effects in tape stripes small
figures and dots. Cotton corduroys are
produced in different welts, in all cOiors
from white to black. White and cream
will probably be most worn. Crepes In
very effective patterns and borders are
seen, and cotton voiles are in variety OF
styles, including plain with satin stripes,
and plain whites with white and colored
embroidered figures, also white with white
and colored borders in skirting width;
also voiles in white with black stripes
White Terry cloth, which in general ap-
pearance can be compared to Turkish
towehng, is the newest thing in white
goods Other new materials in cotton are
very thin crepe, isle finish, woven en-
broidery pattern crepes, Turkish towelinS
borders, drawnwork borders on cotton
suitings, glove-skin cottons, cottons with
woven borders in darning stitch embroid-
cry. point de reprise. simple primitive
patterns, cotton suitings, white agarlc
grounds, with hair lines.

dressed other women, and more than like
ly she will be the most distinguished
looking woman in such gathering, but
a costume simple in order to possess
this distinction must be of the very best
materials, and its simplicity must be that
of quiet but perfect elegance. There Is
all the difference in the world, also be-
tween a collar adjusted with exquisite
nicety-and i'm the most becoming man
ner-and one pinned on in hit or miss
fashion merely as some sort of finish for
the top of the frock. Everybody, now is
daft on the subject of collars. Not only
the heavy lace ones made of Irish, veniSe
and the ultra fashionable point crochet.
are being worn, but all sorts and shapes
of needleworked Linen and batiste collars
and plisse net frills which turn down on
the frock in the effect of fiat collars.
To be really smart just now, the collar
whatever its fabric must be matched
with turned-back cuffs, these cuffs being
worn wherever the sleeve ends, just be-
low the elbow or half way between elbow
and wrist being the favorte location.
, This is the season of the year when the
canny woman picks up little treasures in
the way of lace and embroidery rem
nants, and fashions them into fascinating
collars and cuffs for wear later with sum-
mer frocks. The samples of neckwear of
this sort which come from Paris are al
most prohibitvely expensive. Every
stitch is set in by hand, the embroidery
| is done in the French converts, and usu-
ally the ldCe anu ltISti liOIiS uScu are real.
Yet there is such wide gulf between
/ these Paris-made neckwear belongings
and the cheap lawn and lace affairs offer
| ed at moderate price in the shops, that
| many women unable to ,buy the dainty
| sort do without altogether. Now and
: then there are special sales when counter

sales that the canny woman is ever on
