WILSON TO WIN

In a Washington special to the Chi
cago Tribune John Gallon OLoughiin
says the outlook is that Wilson will
win in the triangular presidential
fight. Notwithstanding that the stu
alton is al present difficult Of analysis
and is pulling 10 the most experience
ed and skilled student Of politics. Says
the Tribunes political writer:
The most astute politicians we're
never more at sea as 10 the presiden-
tial situation throughout the country
than they are at this tine. There are
three tickets in the field-that Of the
republican party, the candidates Of
which are william Howard Taft OF
Ohio and James 5. Sherman OF New
York; that OF the democratic party,
the candidates OF which are Wood
row Wilson or New Jersey and Tho
mas r. Marshall OF Indiana. and that
Of the progressive party, OF which
/ Theodore Roosevelt and Hiram ".
johnson are the nominees.
/ "On the face Of things. political
Washington regards the democratic
ticket as the most likely 10 win. Il
generally Is conceded that President
Taft and Vice President Sherman
have slight chance for reelection.
/ Their only hope lies in the possibility
that Wilson and Roosevelt will divide
the radical vote and that in this way
the republican candidates will gain
the majority OF the electoral college.
Mr.. Taft is handicapped by the de-
Tense he has made OF the Aldrich law
and his vetoes Of tariff bills by the

was procured for him, and by the IN.

COAT SETS OF ULTRA DESIGN
Very Smart Are Those of Crash Which Have Suddenly Become
 So Popular.

Ultra smart are the coat sets in heavy crash. While a few of them are entirely of a creamy hue, the most eff fective are in old rose, delft blue, pas tel green or khaki, embroidered with white or black linen floss. This needle work, which is in a bold design and done in close, solid stitch, runs from the inner to the outer edge of both collar and cuffs, where the hem- stitched border is very coarse and ef- fective. The collars are five pointed and so extremely broad that one Van Dyke terminates at the center of the back, two Van Dykes fall over the top of the arm, and the remaining pair extend almost half way to the waist line. The cuffs have three sharp Van Dykes a deep one running backward to the elbow, and two shorter ones pointing. toward the inner side of the arm. These coat sets are now worn with plainly tailored serges of dark hue. but they will be equally smart looking with the tailored frocks in white, gray or tan.

Miss Gould Takes
 Issue With Pastor
Demurs .sgain<t Exiiing Old Maids to Barren island as He Had
 Suggested.

Grand Junction, Col, July 26.- When the Rev. Elmer V. Huffner, just resigned as pastor of the First Chris tian church delivered sermon re gently advocating the exile of old maids to a barren island as waste humanity, he anticipated local resent ment, possibly, but hardly expected to find himself at issue with Miss Helen Gould of New York.
 In her letter Miss Cloud takes issue with the opinions voiced by Rev. F, Huffner and sks him to "please think the question over before preach ing on it again.
 Miss Goulds letter follows:
 "Glancine over a Denver paper notice an item concerning your ser mon on Loves Courtship and Mar riage, one part of which 1 especially notice saying that old bachelors and bachelor maids should be isolated on an island so they could not hinder the progress of civilization. l do not know why you made this statement but l feel that it is a great injustice to the bachelor maids of our coun- try. InGre are, 1 dulnll, HiaAy Hle'A haters in the world, but great many bachelor maids are not living alone because they so choose, but becaus' they have been unable to find suit able companion.
 q must admit that l am speaking from the standpoint of the bachelor maid. feel that such persons as my self are not hindering the progress ol civilization, but advancing it. IT had found a. suitable helpmate, might have spent my money Ill dll- ferent way and a W@y wnlcA mlsh' not have done as much good as 1t has
 "Please think this question over and before preaching on this subJec' asain, make up your mind that there is some good in living a single llfe.
 A second letter of protest recelVeo from Miss F. l.. King of Monterey Cal which mentions the good done hy such unmarried women as Heller Gould Anne Morgan and others closes with the statement that 'lf Il were not for the dear old maids some breaches would be hunting aftel | jObs."

Lingerie Gowns Popular.

As the season advances and out door functions become more general, some delightful lingerie dresses will
 be seen; for in the warmer weather there is always great wave in favor of white. It will not be unrelieved purity, however, for the note of color will occur in sunshade, shoe and waist belt, while in the silk or ninon frock the lingerie collar and the flounce will give it the simple touch and charm which is so characteristic of the artis- tic creations of the moment.
 Hats of real panama with contrast ing underbrims are the most appropri- ate and delightful for wear with dainty muslin frocks, and they are quite smart enough for most functions

In this case the court held that the company had title to swamp land extending to the middle of the not navigable Bag wells lake, by virtue of it's title to land extending to the edge Of the ake

To sweeten the air of a sick room for a patient who is tired of the usual perfumes, burn few drops of oil of sandalwood on a shovel. Eau de Co., logne dropped on hot shovel also gives most agreeable odor. If per- fumes are not at hand an admirable substitute may be found in camphor, a piece of which may be burned by the application of a hot poker. The strong smell of the camphor quickly disappears, taking with it all the close and disagreeable odors of the sick room.
