Hosiery

Black Cat Hosiery is far better
than ever before. Do you know that
domestic made Hosiery to-day will
outwear two pairs Of imported Ho-
siery? Then, again there is no seam
in the foot to hurt.
The Black Cat Comfit Hose is pat
ented. Has a shaped leg and feet
without the seam in the bottom OF
the foot. These come in blacks and
tans in all desirable weights.
If you have been a Black Cat Gus
toner, all the more reason why you
should be one now.

Is It "Finis 2"

How does Mr.. Roosevelt intend to
overcome the ukase of the insurgent
Senators that there must be no third
party as they will not be parties to
his plan to run independent tickets in
their States" (Iowa, Oregon, and Kan
sas)? Finn of Pennsylvania virtually
told Mr.. Roosevelt the same thing.
The truth has come out at last. If
the desires of the third term candidate
were followed in Pennsylvania, the re-
suit would disrupt the Roosevelt move
ment there, wreck the State organiza-
ton, which now, through Finn, is
friendly to Roosevelt, and perhaps turn
the Keystone State over 10 Wilson. The
Pennsylvania Congressman and others
in many States have taken fright at the
Roosevelt programme, and are bringing
all their influence, and that of the reg
ular" State leaders, to bear upon the
third termer to modify his plans, to
make his fight only for President and
leave Congressional and State tickets
out of his ambitious desires altogether.
As national ticket alone would not
interest the voters in many States to
so great an extent as to break with their
party lines, there will be little, if any,
incentive to have new party.

The Two Gladiators.

Mr.. Bryan's part in the Wilson cam
paign is to be to attend" to Roosevelt
We hope that this is true 1t would
be almost too good treat to lose to see
these two pitted against each other, for
so far they never have run as rivals
for Presidential honors. Each time
either of them has been a candidate he
has had as his opponent a man of an
altogether opposite temper of mind
Mr.. Bryan ran twice against Mckinley
and once as Tafts rival. He was dash
ing, poetical, but regarding less of facts
his opponents were solid, prosaic, and
strictly adhering to the truth. When
Roosevelt ran against Parker, the con-
trast was still greater and more force
full.
Mr.. Wilson is a more finished and
polished orator than the President, but
there are no whirlwind methods in him
like in Bryan or Roosevelt 1t is an
unkind fate that has thus far deprived
US from witnessing a battle between
these two gladiators

The National Commerce.

The new National Chamber of Com
merce, which has established headquar.
tiers in Washington, has decided to pub
lish a journal called The Nations
Business" to be sent broadcast to mem
bers and editorial writers.
A survey of the constructive progress
of the country along lines of agricul-
ture, manufacture, mining, transporta-
ton, finance, and distribution is to be
made and published. But the periodi-
cal is to be concerned chiefly with the
news of progress of organized promo
ton, and of statistical statements oi
development, obtained from the bureaus
of the government departments related
to commercial activities at home and
abroad:
Under these circumstances the new
periodical will be a compendium OF
progress news and cover a heretofore
uncovered field without cost to those
desiring information For at present
the dweller of the Pacific Coast has but
a vague idea of what is going on in the
East in the way of constructive matters.
1t will be the business of the National
Chamber of Commerce to link all parts
Of the nation together in the patriotism
OF development.

NEW SHOES FOR
U. S. SOLDIER BOYS
War Department Adopts Report of
Army Board Which Conducted
Footwear Investigation.

The report of the army board which in
vestigated the question of shoes in the
military service has been accepted, and
the shoe recommended by the board will
henceforth be the official footwear for
soldiers. General orders TO this effect
will be issued soon.
Besides making the shoe recommended
by the board the official shoe, the adop-
ton of the boards report abolishes all
other styles of shoes now in use. As
soon as the present supplies are eN-
hausted no more will be issued. The
army now supplies enlisted men with
three kinds of shoes. the garrison tan
shoe for wear about the post. the march
ing shoe for field work, and the dress
shoe. The first two are tan shoes and
the third is a black shoe. The new order
does away with all these. including the
black dress shoe. Henceforth there will
be but one shoe. 10 be worn at all times,
and that will be tan shoe.
The new shoe was constructed and
recommended after a series Of ex-
periments by the board extending over d
period of four years. The X-ray played
large part in these experiments. BY
its use the board was able to devise a
shoe which followed the anatomical lines
of the foot. thus preventing any dis
placement of the bones Of the foot

ELEVATORS

Author of "At Good Old Siwash."

An elevator is a sort of PASSENGER sky

It would take him to climb three flights
OF stairs and mop his forehead twice.
The elevator was invented In America,
which also produced the quick lunch

Some elevators travel 800 feet a min

for the enormous popularity Of this in

Elevators occasionally fall, but not as

They are not as dangerous street cars

Reason. for Pensions.

To the Editor: In your issue or July
%. Mr.. J. A. Brown has a letter TO the
Commissioners. commencing their action
in cutting the pensions paid to sixteen
policemen and fremen. who. for some
disability incurred in the performance of
their duties. were retired on pensions
ranging from SIS to $50. would like to
ask Mr. Brown II he could support a
family on n sum ranging from SIS TO $50,
or does he or the Commissioners think
that after they retire an unfortunate
who. in the discharge of his duty, is Grip
pied and manned for life, that unfortu-
nate should become n drone. should be-
come n loafer simply because he is re-
ceivng a few dollars from a fund which
while he was in good health he helped
to build by giving a part OF his salary
each month. Should he have no ambition
to get ahead? Mr.. Brown writes. The
public is in sympathy with the widows,
orphans, and the old and infrm. A
young man. from Mr.. Browns stand
point, should not have any consideration.
II he would only stop to think that the
young man who is disabled in his young
days has to go through life a burden 10
himself and often others. while an older
man who is retired for old age has had
thirty years TO accumulate a few dollars
for his older period. The young man who
is disabled and retired from the force
finds II hard to get employment. and IS
fortunate il he gets position. SO when
he is infirm he will not be entirely de-
pendent on a pension from the District
I am sure Mr.. J. A. Brown does not
constitute the entire public.

Look Out for a Deadlock.

The adoption by the Senate of the
Bourne bill, advocating zone system
of charges, has divided the advocates
of a parcel post in manner that will
give the defenders of the express COM
panies more of an opportunity than the
Sulzer fiat rate bill in the House did.
Should the two plans be investigated by
a committee it would postpone action
for another year or longer.
We note with regret that there is a
conflict between the friends of the par
eel post in Congress when for the first
time they are in the majority. When the
postal appropriation bill gets into con-
ference the attitude of the supporters of
the two oontending bills should be
watched closely for signs whether a
deadlock is not the real object of some
who pretend to advocate the parcel
post.
We say it emphatically that the fall
ure of Congress to adopt one or the
other means of relieving the United
States from the oppression of the ex-
press companies will not be pardoned
by the victimized public. Senators or
who intend to place
cog in the wheel will have to do some
explaining.

The Peruvian Outrage.

The hideous story of the Peruvian
rubber inferno has reused great indig-
nation everywhere, and the belated, half
hearted action of the government OF
Peru in proceeding against the authors
of the outrages is universally condemned.
Civilized nations are beginning to take
action, and especially in England the
Catholic Church is taking promp; meas
ures to protect and aid the remnant of
the natives. An appeal has been issued
by the Primates of England and Ire
land for the funds necessary for the
dispatch and establishment of mission,
a humanitarian spirit that can only be
commended.
Peru is Overwhelmingly Roman Cath
olic, and it is pointed out that only a
mission of that church can be success
full But be that as it may, there is a
clause in the Peruvian constitution
which prevents any persons other than
Roman Catholics from carrying on re-
ligious work in that country. That fea-
ture should not stand in the way of
funds coming from people of all re-
ligious beliefs, as the work of such a
mission for a long time to come Of ne
cessity must be more of a humanitarian
than of proselyting nature.
Barbarianism has reigned too long
in that secluded region of the eastern
foothills of the Andes, and an outpost
of civilization ought to be promptly es-
tablished there. The Peruvian govern
ment owes it to humanity that it should
open up that section to the work of
missions OF all kinds. 1t has an ugly
stain on its escutcheon, and to limit the
nature and number of agencies in the
work of succor and amelioration is a
policy which republican government
ought not to persist in.

MCFARLAND SAYS
"YOU HAVE LIED"
Former Commissioner Explodes This
Remark in Hearing at
Baltimore.

Baltimore. Nd, July as.-'Then you
have lied and stole. Is that it," This was
the unusual remark heard before the
public service commission to-day, and
to make 1t more extraordinary, the
speaker was Henry B. F. Macfarland,
former Commissioner OF the District Of
Columbia.
This must stop; there can be no such
language before this commission" ex-
claimed Commissioner z. Clay Timanus,
snd Chairman Laird energeticaIly waved
dissent to Mr.. mcfarland
We'll. We will prove it," returned
Mr.. Macfarland. who subsided for the
time being.
What had aroused Mr.. Macfariand's
strong utterance was the recital of L.
l.. Howell. of New York, traffic super
visor of the Postal Telegraph Cable
Company. of how In the guise of a New
England telephone company attache, he
bad won his way TO the operating room
OF the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Company at Frederick, and there
saw notice discriminating in favor Of
the Western Union.
Mr.. Howell Smiled.
Mr. Howell smiled derisively at Mr..
Macfarland's outburst. and was not the
slightest bit perturbed.
You believe that the end justifies the
means,'' continued Mr.. MacfarIand
Most assuredly in this case" replied
Mr.. Howell.
The case before the commission was
that Of the Postal Company complain
ing that persons calling their company
up by phone to send kilograms were
given the Western Union instead, and
that they thereby were losing business
The commission is asked to rule that
both telegraph companies shall fare
equally when persons phone for a tele-
graph company and that each company
be required to answer phone calls by
number and not by name
Mr.. Howelrs recital showed that
clever trick had been put over on the
c. & p. and Charles H. Carter and MIR.
Macfarland. counsel for the c. & p,
showed plainly that they did not relish
the testimony. and each sought to be-
little Mr.. Howel's evidence, but without
avail.

convenience of transients will be pro-

living in lodgings who dislike to have
their correspondence Inspected by pryins

A Welcome Censorship.

The order OF the Postmaster Gen.
eral concerning the use of the general
delivery window calls attention to a
department regulation which in the pres
sure of Office routine may have been
disregarded. This provides that appli-
cants for their mail may be asked to
give in writing their names and ad-
dresses, and that minors may be required
to furnish the names of their parents
that in cities having carrier service ap-
plicants may be called upon to state why
they do not wish to have their mail de-
livered, and finally that whenever
minors get their mail under suspicious
circumstances it is optional with the
postmaster to notify their parents.
Fully one-half of the persons who 90
to the general delivery window have
legitimate business there. Still, the
step taken by the Postmaster General
is to be commended, inasmuch as it is
nothing more than to enforce an old
rule. A written statement for wishing
to use the general delivery window will
tend to bar out undesirables, but it
will not curtail the legitimate use of the
accommodation.
Transients or residents temporarily
without a fixed place of residence will
continue to be served But the green
goods man, the get-rich-quick fraud,

oLD-TIME DESSERTS.
"FIoats'' and .'Tarts!" Nothing Ever
to BE Compared with Them.

From the Ohio State Journal
In the good old days. when life was
simple and sincere, when people were
happier than now and didn't make so
much money, when society was friend
ship and home was love, there were two
stated and popular desserts at all parties
and particular dinner occasions, and
they were float and tarts.
That float, There was never anything
to compare with II, before or since.
Those white, snowy islands floating on
a golden flood. We're a dream just i'm
ported from elysium. II was almost
profane TO taste IL. so like a vision OF
eternal happiness II seemed. But we did
taste It. and the luxury OF It skipped
past the palate and melted into the mind,
where il inspired thoughts OF the love-
illness OF life.
And those tarts-little. crisp. white
shells filled with jelly and jam or pre-
serves of some kind. My. what gems OF
Joy they were' We remember particu-
larly the jellied tarts- They were win
some little desserts. az simple and mod
est as lilies of the valley, and sometimes
we thought they were related, they
were so modest and pure. oh, the sad
day when they were suppIanted by ices,
merinSues, crackers. and rotten cheese
No wonder pessimism spreads itself SO
vauntingly.
