Does 1t Look Good to You, White
People,

r. IA 1
The colored voters from the
Southern States hold the balance of
power in the Republican party. Right
here in your own Mingo county,
where you have the majority, they
overwhelm you with Illegal negro
voters. 1t has become SO frequent
and open that it has become joke
and a by-word AS the Roanoke
Times puts it up to you white PEG
pie, "how does it taste"
That is plain, open, direct unde-
niable fact. How do the white re-
publican voters in West Virginia like
lite
Does 1t taste good, boys? Does it
look good to you white men, born of
clean strain white fathers and moth
ers, you West virginian mountain
men, proud of your race and stock
and white skins? Does it taste nice
to you?
Does 1t taste good boys? Does 1t
look or sound or read or smell good
Doesn't your white mans gorge, born
in you from your father and mother
rise little at the thought of it?
You know 1t doesn't taste good
you mountain men You know it isn't
good You know you do not belong
in party that uses such methods
and seeks such help, in which white
men are brought to such shame Of
their race and manhood Come back
where you belong. This is good
year to do it. Now is the time to pro
tect your good name and elevate thu
standard of your race. Now is the
opportunity.

at the big football games this fall
. The rough, hairy "scratch-ups" that
prevailed last winter are to be re-
placed with nice, smooth makeups In
many colors, resembling the skins Of
animals. 1t is up to the taste of the
wearer to say how he prefers the
brim adjusted. Some will prefer to
turn It down In front or on one side

stylish way is to keep the brim In
its natural shape, turned up front,

The low-crown, wide-brim derby that
made its appearance two seasons ago
will be accentuated for the coming
season, with crown not more than
AZ inches high and brim from Q to

mainly by the younger man; but 1t

The silk hat for the coming season
is in two styies-one for the older man
and one for the younger. Each OF
these will be conservative in shape,
with no bell" to speak Of, and the
brim Of each will be nearly fiat. For
the elderly man. the crown will be 81
inches high, with a brm from TX to
2is inches high; for the younger. the
silk hat will be 55s inches high. with
brim IA or TX inches wide. with

Except for motoring, golf, tennis and
other outdoor amusements, caps are
practically taboo among men, although
they will be in great favor among

wear, they will find the most rdeark-
able variety of hats ever devised for
the masculine sex. And, aside from
the formal derby that few men In
sist upon wearing all the time, the soft
hat will be more popular than ever,
and will be offered in countless de-
signs, made of various fabrics. OF
course, the man who pays careful
attention to his wardrobe, always has
a derby on hand rs a matter OF course,
Just as he has silk hat for formal
occasions. But If he desires to create

able dresser. he will add to his ward
robe at least one soft hat this fall, and
another for the later season.
At the top Of the column the velour
holds sway.
These velours, real and imitation,
may be secured in practically any
color, with bands Of the same, or con-
trasting shades. Some of them, Of
royal purple, olive green, crimson or
blue. are gaudy in the extreme, and
are designed principally for men who
desire to attract attention. But. on
the contrary. the great majority are
made in modest colors, unobtrusive in

Hats with crown from 81 to 6
inches in height, and moderately
wide, curled brim. made from tweeds
and other cloths, In plain or plaid eff
fects, promise to be exceedingly popu-
lar. As a rule these hats will be worn
in Alpine shape; though the younger
