Hon. Lindley Murray Staples of Wash
ington has announced that he will not be
a candidate for State Senator this year,
and both Republicans and Democratic
papers are saying kind things of this
veteran neutrality-suspicious. because
they respect him as man with the cour-
age of his convictions; Democrats, to
make amends for the shabby treatment
he received from his own party. When
they were in hopeless minority in the
legislature they gave him the empty
honor of nomination for United States
Senator. When they had the power to
elect they chose a man who had been
refused the denomination for governor to
which by party usage he was entitled.
1t cannot be said that this choice of Sem
ator was made because of exceptional
fitness for the position. Had that been
the case the nomination would have gone
to Mr.. Staples. 1t was simply an ex-
hibition of Pattangall politics.

All of the ranting office-seekers with
the gift of CAB who are travelling over
the country or talking from their seats
in Congress and telling of their deep de-
votion to the interests of the common
people want something. They want
either to get an Office or to keep an office.
They want the dear people to pay them
generous salaries. They want to live at
the expense of the people, and it is,
therefore, their particular business to
impress upon the public that they are
the saviors of the country, the sterling
advocates of eternal justice to the strug-
Cling poor, and the everlasting enemies

When you see the class Of men that

their just debts by going through bank

STYLES MUCH MORE SIMPLE
Richness Of Attire That Has Marked
Past Seasons Has Been Con-
siderably Modified.

This year the girl who is trying to
adjust the balance between a self
respecting smartness of attire and a
minute income has everything on her
side. Compared with last years rich
ness and eccentricity, which made the
task more than puzzling to the homo
dressmaker there is notable revival
of the severely simple.
Hats with hardly any trimming at
all, braid and buttons in lieu of en-
broideries, simply cut dresses of one
color only, and the plainest Of coats
and skirts, are few of the sweeping
changes in store for us. There is
very little doubt that the majority Of
women will welcome the new order OF
things.
Foremost among the revivals of the
winter is the return to favor of our old
friend, the blouse, which Suffered =
period of almost total eclipse during
the summer, when the all conquering
little frock" swept everything before
it. 1t comes back absolutely in it's
earliest and most elementary form.
The shirtwaist was the shape in which
the blouse was first made known to
us, if one excludes the old Garibaldi.
and this year it will reign again in all
it's trim simplicity.
With the shirt blouse comes another
old friend that has been long neglect
ed. The smartest and most fashion
able belt for the coming season will

tened by the simplest and most unas.

This latitude in millinery is por.

In Fig. l, a clever little bonnet shape
of deep rose colored braid boasts no
trimming, but quilting of ribbon
about the face and sash about the
crown. This is in soft greyish blue
that seems somehow to have been Dor
rowed from tint in the braid. This
hat was quite fit with a long envelop-
ing cloak of dark blue cloth which
covered the matinee bodice Of the
wearer.
The bonnet-like shape, with tan
crown developed in dark amethyst
plush is a striking model in a semi
dress hat. The pendant beads and

yond the tailored type.
