HERE'S TOMMY

Tommy Goosenberry had just drifted

Change the Day

President-elect Wilson has said that
he would prefer to take the presiden-
tiaI ONCE on March with simple
ceremony, the mere taking of tho
oath. and postpone the big semi-regal
ceremonies. That brings TO mind the
plan to change inauguration day to
some day more In keeping with
modern needs.
There Is now q bill before congress
to change the law in regard to inaug.
uration day TO April 80, the date on
which Washington was inaugurated-
Thus that date has historical signih'
canoe. But for practical reasons an
earlier date could well be chosen.
In the early days of the republic
election returns were slow coming, az
everything had to be carried on horse
back or stage. Hence II was long
time before the machinery Of election
could be set In motion and the re-
suits announced. Then there had to
elapse more time before the officials
could travel TO the capital But now
that Is all changed. Inauguration
could be held within 80 days with per-
feet safety. Therefore some desire
Jan. 1, as the date of president nd
congress taking ONCE.
BY this plan the will Of the people
az expressed at the election would BIO
carried out more promptly, off1cials
could be held more closely to their
campaign promises.

favor OF the late spring Inauguration

Recall of Presidents

The awkward situation from which
We are just now escaping OF presi-
dent at loggerheads with congress and
out OF touch with public opinion, is
not peculiar to our time or personal
to President Taft.
" We have had twenty-five elected
presidents, and twelve, or more than
half OF them, lost control OF congress
and the leadership OF the country In
the middle OF their administrations. In
other words the people have plainly
declared by their ballots in favor OF
change In twelve administrations
before they were half finished.
In each instance the people have
been obliged to wait two years TO ac-
complish their purpose Just as IN Mr.
Taffss case. And to no purpose, for
the delay never has changed the pop
ular verdict In favor OF a president:
The people never have reconsidered
the vote.
Van Buren,, Tyler. Polk, Fillmore,
pierce. Buchanan, Grant Tin 1870,
Hays, Arthur, Harrison, Cleveland Tin
1894, and Taft, all saw the country go
against their administrations when
they yet had two years and four
months to serve. What good cause
would have been promoted II their
inevitable retirement had been post
poned as under this proposed amend
ment. to four years and four months?
This is a phase Of the question
which the supporters Of a six-year
term should consider. In each OF those
twelve Administrations. with hostile
majority sent to congress by the peo-
ME. the government was effectually
deadlocked for two years. Under the

Second-Keep the quantity of food

exercise. to eat as much as the person

Third-Keep the skin very clean. Battle

VELVET Is CORRECT

Velvet is the favorite material of Dame
Fashion, and 1t would be difficult to find
a smart toilet that did not somewhere
have Its soupcon of velours.
Always 1t is black that is selected to
express this effective note, and it is seen
equally on gowns Of black satin or tai

Velvet makes the favorite narrow, loop
ed girdle of the season, and It il used
also for the little belts with fiat turnover
ends that are so often seen. With dressy
toilets the shoes are often Of velvet with
high heels and sparkling buckles. They
keep the shape fairly wen, and are not
so hot as might be supposed.

PANNIER DRESS Is
DOOMED TO DIE
Fashion Experts Say Lower ORA
peries Will Dominate.

A fashion expert who attended the
ultra-fashionable race meetings at Paris
found in the women's gowns full con-
firmation of the prophecy of many of
the great Paris dressmakers that the
pannier dress was doomed to be short
lived
Painters were to be seen in the pad
dock recently in large numbers, but the
really new models all pointed to the fact
that graceful draperies leaving the hip
free and draping the skirt low down
will dominate the season. The new
note was struck in two gowns. The
first was OF white charmeuse with skirt
fastened at the left side by large pearl
buttons twisted around with a cord
looped on one side of the skirt. The
OF black tulle and Venetian lace and
large reyers.
Creation I'm White Moire.
The second frock was OF while moire
the skirt being cut up on the right side
and fixed with large buttons at short
intervals. Over this was a tunic of
white embroidered tulle, shorter in front
than at the back. The corsage was cut
in Brittany peasant style.
A much admired black and white
toilette was of liberty satin. the skirt
being black, fastened down the back
with small white satin buttons. The
front Of the skirt was white and looked
like a rather fiat pannier. The corsage
was of white mousseline de sole with
deep points of black satin. A cream
lace dress was worn with a very grass
green taffeta habit-like coat fastened
round the waist by a black patent leath-
er girdle. One woman in a green pam
nier taffeta dress Of a peculiar shade
wore green satin shoes and green silk
stockings and huge green hat

that can be bought in various shades.
Never use anything like an ordinary
