Made of the heaviest wool sponge
cloth. this dress is designed to be worn
in cold weather. The color is rich choc-
olate brown, with the same material in
oyster white used for the vest, collar
and sleeve decorations. The buttons and
belt buckle are OF ivory.
The cut of the dress makes it look
like a coat and skirt, but 1t is really a
dress. as the front panel and lower
part OF the skirt are Joined to the coat
effect at the stitching.

Useful Hints.

Before using table oilcloth paste at each
corner on the wrong side of a square Of
cotton. This prevents the corners wear
ing out so soon.
When busting do not use a feather
buster, as this only brushes the dust in
the air so that it settles down and leaves
the work to be done over again.
A good way to clean a food chopper
after using is to grind some stale pieces
of bread through it. This will be found
to collect all the grease and fat and
skin from the small knives Then wipe
with q clean cloth.

SELECTION OF FED.
ERAL OFFICIALS

RclcrtinS to the proposition oil
primaries for federal appointiye Of
fees, there is perhaps more reason
for such plan to be followed in
Florida than elsewhere Positions
OF this character are usually given
as Il reward for services to the party.
In this State the party owes no man
anything, and no man can claim any
thing on this seCre There is prac-
tcally no party in Florida except
that of the Democrats, and no par
ticular credit attaches to the fact
that a man has been loyal to Dcmoc-
racy, when that was about the only
thing he could do.
Party service being, therefore,
eliminated as Il consideration in the
distribution of Florida patronage, it
seems to us that. character andquali-
iications being equal, mans civic
services to his community ought to
cut some figure in selecting those
who are to receive the good things
in which that community is inter
csted
For instance. if there are two can
didatcs, say for postmaster. in Il city
or town. both of whom are sufficient

from its growth. though contrbutinc
nothing thereto, he should be rcle-

to the community's upbuilding, if
such man should offer. Certainly
the best judges o. a mans record in
this respect are the citizens of his
own community. and this is an add
ed reason for selection of federal Of
ficers by primary.
This is merely thrown out as a
suggestion. before there are any

ELECT ALL OFFICE HOLDERS.

The Pensacola Evening News
springs surprise on the federal Of
flee seeker by suggesting that all the
Democrats who would like fat berths
under Wilson should stand their
chances at a primary election just
like any ordinary politician. Follow
ing is the argument put up by the
News, which is a good one:
Inasmuch as we have the primary
Tor our elective and appOintive State
offices and since the State committee,
our governor elect and the members
OF our Legislatures favor primaries
and because the Democratic national
convention has gone on record for
primaries for president on down and
the Democratic presidential nominee
has subscribed to the platform as
ADOPTED by the convention, declaring
for national primaries, We believe
the primaries should be given thor
ough test. We are now trying the
primary; let's give it a fair trial
while we are about it. We have TAX
en- the appointments away from our
State executive and put them in the
hands of the people SO that we might
avoid as much as possible any effort
fer ring rule or organization of a
State machine.
Therefore, the Evening News re.
spectfully suggests to the State DEM
OF ratio executive committee a State
primary for the nomination of col
lcctOr OF internal revenue and regis
ter OF the land office, at the same
time a primary for the selection of
district attorneys, United States mar
sl.als, assistant district attorneys,
etc, in the northern and southern
districts of Florida, and on down the
line to city primaries for the nOmi-
nation of postmastcrs and collectors
of port, etc. Then President Wilson
would be relieved of the responsible
ity of choosing from all those who
have proven themselves friends, and
by naming those whom he knows to
be the choice of the people as ascer-
tanned through the primaries, there
would he no possibility of any dis
appointed one accusing him of going
back on his friends as they did in
New Jersey, when he excused his ac-
tion by declaring that the said
friends were not the right sort of
men to appoint to Office.
by a primary the federal offices
will be filled with men who are chos-
Tn by the people and not by one or
two bosses, two Senators and a Con-
gresham or so. Who will say that
the people should not be allowed tC
name their postmaStcrs, collectors Of
port, etc? The governor of this STATE
Appoints the harbor masters, tn,
county solicitors, the judges, but al
OF these men must run in the pri-
m@rics so that the governor may
know which of the aspirants for tht
position is more acceptable to the
people whom he must deal with Off
| cially. If the harbOr master, why
not the collector of port; if the shcr-
