The declaration of Hiram johnson,

TO the fact that they admire and re-

One Democratic member Of Congress
sends the President an editorial from "A

Appesls to Spanish Americans.

Al albuquerque the coloners audience
,yss attentive. although not especially en-
tbusiastic. which may have been due TO
tho FAC, that it was mixed gathering
and the Interpreter explained only a part
OF the colonel's speech. Addressing the
spanish- Americans Roosevelt said:
| ask you TO be your own masters. 10
think and act for yourselves. and 10 tell
the bosses you are through with them. l
want YOU 10 refuse TO let these bosses
lead YOU around like sheep. ask you
10 stand for the Progressive ticket, both
national and state.
The colonel found a situation not en-
tlrely satisfactory in New Mexico. There
is something Of a split among the Pro-
gressives and Representative George
Curry. and Ex-Governor Miguel Otero
are said not TO be in entire harmony.
Otero dominated the recent third party
convention and took 10 himself not only
the office Of state chairman, but also that
OF national committeeman. Roosevelt has
an uphill fight here which the Progress
sives hope 10 win through the personal
popularity OF the colonel and Mr.. Curry,
although the Democrats now appear TO
have The upper hand.
Before leaving Albuquerque on the way
to Denver the colonel shook hands with
about a hundred cowboys who rode In on
their ponies and surrounded the plat
form from which he spoke.
Colonel Roosevelts physician, who is
making the trip with him largely TO treat
his throat, told him to-day that he must
be more careful in the use OF his voice.
Conversation while the train was In mo-
ton was barred. but the colonel said he
could not keep still all the time, and the
doctor had to keep close watch TO make
him obey the rules. The strain OF the
long campaign has told on Colonel Roose-
welt and his voice was slightly husky, al
though he said he felt bully" with some
OF the hardest lighting of the campaign
ahead.

DECORATIONS FOR
THE XMAS TABLE

The decoration OF tho Christmas
table adds so much to the enjoyment
of those gathered around its inviting
spread that every effort should be
made to have II as attractive as pos
sible. After all, the feast counts for
little when compared with the thought
and care taken to make the table love
ly and entertaining. 1t is that re-
membrance which fingers long after
the dinner is forgotten.
The feast may be most unpretenti-
Gus, but IL the table is tastefuliy cec
GRATED the pleasures derived exceed
that of any fifteen course banquet.
Many designs for decorations may
suggest themselves, but the collection
described here is especially attractive
and not difficult to make - -
The first suggestion W.. appeal
strongly to the children. Santa Claus
is posed standing against a tower
built OF beautiful red apples and
lunches Of luscious grapes crowned
with holly. A wreath of autumn
leaves and holly entwines the base
The next idea is a dainty decora-
ton for the lovers of the artistic IL
Is a bowl Of green pottery filled with
small chrysanthemums and aspara-
gus fern. Clusters of grapes. bright
apples and smilax vines are arranged
at the base. Strands of smfiax divide
the table into sections.
A pyramid OF fruit is very effec-
tive. Any combination of fruit is
good. Grapes, apples and oranges
may be used in one design. The
pyramid Is built around dainty
candle holder in the shape of a tulip.
Four others are arranged at the base.
A wreath of holly gives q bright touch
to the extreme edge. The dainty tulip
lights may be had in all colors and are
extremely pretty when the candles
are lit
A novel decoration for those who
admire the unusual is bright yellow
pumpkin followed out to form a has
ket as the center feature. This is
filled with fruit and decorated with
sprays of small chrysanthemums and
asparagus fern. A tasteful arrange
ment of the flowers and fern wreath
ing the base of the basket completes
the decorations. Small sprigs of the
green are placed at each plate. Elab-

THROW AWAY C0RSETS,
WEAR TROUSERS,
SAYS MRS. Gait

NEW YORK. Dec Z. - Make. a
bonfire OF your hats; throw away
your corsets and wear trousers in
stead of these ridiculous tight skirts,
is the recommendation of Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait. the suffragette leader,
to the Equal Suffrage League in her
report of her two years round-the-
world campaign in behalf of votes for
women.
My trip around the globe convinc-
ed me-" says Mrs. Gait, that my own
countrywomen are the most fettered
sartorially, to be found anywhere.
Compared with the Chinese women
the American woman is almost as
helpless as baby. 1t is time for the
western woman to kick herself free
OF the swaddling draperies which the
Parisians send over to us. We should
declare our independence in dress as
We have in politics, and the sooner We
do it the better for health, happiness
and the cause"
Mrs. Gait advocates the Chinese
dress or a modification of it because
it is the most sanitary, healthful,
comfortable and artistic costume a
woman can wear" She describes the
Chinese costume as including loose,
straight, hanging trousers, made of
silk or other material and over this
garment a straight loose coat which
comes below the knees usually and
buttons over one side. This garment
is collarless, with sleeves that are
half tight and end between the elbow
and the wrist 49,. Nsa-s- -:

In making Irish crochet the padding
should be of linen thread. Some work
err use cotton thread for padding,
which is cheaper, but it does not give
tie proper crispness to the work; aft
er it is washed certain limpness is
noticeable. Irish crochet work, we'll
rIsde over padding of linen thread,
never needs to be stiffened with
starch. A good way to wash such
