IAET,s RECORD.

| There has been SO much personal
accusation injected ON the one hand i'm
this campaign by Theodore Roosevelt
and his camp followers and such a
strange peryasive ignorance on the
other hand among the mass of the
people regarding President Taft and
his administration that some very
false impressions have gone out into
the country about the accomplish
ments of the Republican party the
past three years and more.
In the name of common justice this
sort of thing should be stopped and tho
people should be given correct and
fair idea of what one Of the busiest and
most successful administrations of
public affairs in the history of the re-
public has really done.
1t has not been period of listless
and lifeless drifting with the tide as a
good many people seem to think but
as matter of fact President Taft has
been virile, active and progressive.
Let us take an account of stock and
see what different things have been
promoted and brought To pass.
Here's the list-go through il care
fully and then be fair with the facts of
history and recognize that it is record
OF actual achievement i'm the way of
wise and progressive laws that far
outdistances that of his strenuous pre-
decessor. who is now carrying on
Bull Moose campaign against him.
Under Mr.. Taft's administration
there has been established a postal
savings bank Thirty million dollars
of the peoples money have already
been deposited in it.
A lew has been passed preventing the
railroad companies from increasing
rates without first obtaining the ap-
proval Of the interstate commerce
For the first time in the history of
the government the postoffice depart
ment has been conducted without
deficit.
The White Slave" traffic has been
vigorously and effectively attacked.
The lives of the miners have been
by the establishment of !
a bureau of mines, which is devoted TO |
promoting their welfare.

SMALL COATS TO BE WORN
Faneiful Little Garments In Many
Materials Are a Feature Of
the Season.

The most dificult part OF the fitting
of an overdrapery is in keeping the
sides straight and slim in outline The
slit skirt is now accomplished with
an over-effect.
There is every indication that the
short, fanciful little coat in silk of one
kind or another is to. be an Important
item of the summer o,iift this year.
The eton, the bolero and a host Of
models more or less related to these
two old friends are already In evi-
dence, the less closely related coatees
showing a leaning toward abbreviated
mantle or dolman lines, In keeping
with the ubiquitous taffetas and their
bouillonees, ruching and quillings.
On the whole. these little wraps are
picturesque and piquant. Perhaps
some of them are trife too odd. but
that depends a great deal upon the
woman who wears them.

DIVIDING LINE OF FASHION
Marked Difference In Opposing Ideas
az to What Shall Be Given
Permanent Favor.

This, briefly, is the burning ques.
tion OF the hour: Shall we take seri-
ously to the eighteenth century re-
vival with its paniers, fichus and
pointed bodices, or shall we continue
to admire the flowing draperies dis
playing an obviously corsetless con
dltion and rather dowdy and exceed
ingly expensive simplicity?
Simplicity is hardly the word for
the statuesque complexities of drapery
which some of the best people insist
on hanging on their bones to grace
every occasion indoors or out OF
them. They talk Of nothing but pro-
portion, line and harmony, and, TO
practice what they preach. turn them
selves into living pictures for the ben
eft of the spectator
All this is thanks 10 the designs OF
al lists who have chosen silks and
satins instead OF paint and canvas
as method OF expression. Their
clientele shudders at the rigid un-
of the tailor-made. and
falls into a living picture scheme on
every provocatlon.

PROMOTION oE FRANZ KUHN.

Tie elevation Of Franz Kuhn TO
the state supreme bench is testimony
As much TO his gifts Of personality As
to his intellectual and legal strength
observes The Detroit Journal The APP
pointment by Gov Osborn IS especially
striking. for when Mr. Kuhn was nom
mated for attorney general in 1910
he was opposed by administration fol-
lowers in the convention and WIS not
favored by Mr. Osborn. Mr Kuhn
nevertheless did not make his oilice a
center OF political rivalries. Rather he
made new friendships and won the
very powers that had opposed him.
Franz Kuhn has shown the best quail
ties which citizens Of German descent
contribute t. the American character;
patience in study thoroughness in la
bor wholesomeness OF mind. simplicity
Of life. All these qualities. fused with
the general kindly humanity Of the
man. viii shine even more clearly In
the high post TO which he has been
raised lie is man Of whom German
americans may be very proud. and for
whom All Americans must have both

Judging from the comment we have
heard. the proposed Progressive coun-

SEEK ONLY REAL BARGAINS
indlscrimlnate Buying Because Things
Are Cheap is Simply sr
silly Error.

The enticements of the stores in
late summer need self-control and
common sense If bargains are to prove
profitable.
There are certain things safe. to
buy, others that are waste of money.
Ultra styles are to be avoided. unless
so perishabe that the remaining
weeks of the season will wear them
out. Buying them for next year is
folly. This is especially true of
hats.
Chiffon, marquisette and crepe de
chine frocks that are simple in style
are safe purchase, as they are in
valuable for house and theater
gowns.
If one wears the same make and
kind of shoe each season. this is a
good time to buy several pairs of
pumps, tennis shoes and low walking
shoes. They are much reduced and
ones shoe bill can be cut in half by
buying in off seasons.
Summer dress materials are also a
good bargain. There are certain stand
ard materials designs that are
never out of style. Irish lace in mar
row widths, Valenciennes by the
piece and blind embroidery are al
ways in order and can be picked up
now cheaply
This is the harvest time of the eco
nomical housekeeper. Table and bed
linen, kitchen utensils. china, glass.
rugs and carpets are reduced I'm mid
summer. To buy now means saving
nearly half the value.

Skirt Wldths

Much has been heard regarding full

the Dry Goods Economist. The skirt
now being made is happy medium
between a full skirt and the very mar
row one In vogue year ago. This

to give the straight. narrow lines, but

feet freedom in walking. A few plaits
are introduced In a clever manner in
the back, front or sides, but are press
ed or stitched so as not to give any
fare.
