Trimmings of the Season

a noticeable feature of this years
fashion-and a most unusual one-is
the way in which the real and the imi-
tation kourish side by side. In Jew.
elry this has been for a long time the
case. and the owner of pearls and dia-
thinks nothing of keeping her
precious belongings in the safe and
wearing wonderfully made copies.
In fur also the imitation has had a
great c and only the expert can
tell the real from the false.
Now 1t is lace that 10 being brought
to sue perfection by machinery that
1t is almost impossible to recognize the
difference between the machine made
and the hand made. The odd thing is
OF course that the qualities Of the COPY

VALUE OF sAsY's LIFE.

BY common consent minimum val
ue of $4,000 has been placed on the
adult human life--and, If life is taken
from a breadwinner by some ones
carelessness, it is easy to obtain in
court verdict for that amount.
1t is more difficult, perhaps, to fix
the value of baby's life in dollars
and cents. However, every infant born
has a sentimental value that cannot be
measured in money. Each tiny hand
is clutched about a mothers heart.
But the life of each baby, If it can
be properly reared, has money value,
too. Mothers, fathers, breadwinners
and homemakers must be provided for
future geneTations-and most of all
good citizenship must be maintained.
1t is estimated that 100, 900 babies die
needlessly each year in the United
States.

dissembler enough to conceal his blum
dering. He was too honest a man to
cover up the deception ne was called
upon to perform, and to ROOSEVELT s
disgust he attempted to lnaugurate a
policy of his own, regardless of the
specious promises made the people by
Mr.. Roosevelt. He sought to give the
country an honest, clean administra-
tion, but he was hampered by the in
terests favored under Roosevelt, and
yielded to them rather than engage in
an open fight which he realized must
result in much unpleasantness.
Roosevelt returned from Africa to
find Morgan and Perkins dissatisfied
with the publicity their schemes under
Tafts administration. He also found a
progressive movement under way that
threatened to secure control of the ma
tional republican party. He saw q
chance to save the big interests from
defeat, He proclaimed himself the
Caesar of the republican progressives.
He led the progressive hosts to defeat.
Upon the ruins of that defeat he is
now attempting to build a party ac-
cording to his own tdeas-a progress
sive capitalist party. and he Is calling
upon the people to give tribute to him.
Had Mr.. Roosevelt been able to Sc
cure control of the national republican
committee, even by majority of one,
he would have secured the regular re-
publican nomination and no one would
have more strenuously opposed the or
ganization of progressive party than
he.
He now has a party of his own, back
ed by big capitalists, and by creating a
big noise hopes to stampede the voters
into. yielding tribute to him.
AS the people study the conditions
surrounding the leaders of this new
party and understand the motives for
it's organization, their judgment will
be so decisive against 1t that even
Roosevelt will acknowledge 1t is use-
less to try to continuously fool a ma
jority of the people through successive
campaigns, and will retire from poll
tics, humiliated and disowned as a pub
lie idol.

PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY.


columbia, Mo boasts a church whore
children are cared for during the Sun
day morning and evening services
and mothers need not miss their devo-
tons because of the fear that their
young children will cause confusion.
This important work is carried on by
yuung women of the University of Mis-
souri,, who compose a Bible class in
the church Sunday school, The class
Of seventy-five members is divided in
to small committees-which take
charge of the church nursery by turns
and care for all the children whose
naothers care to leave them with the
young women.
Games and amusements of all sorts
are devised for the older children, and
every comfort is provided for infants.
At times the young women entertain
as many as fifteen little tots, varying
In age from months to 5 years.
Crying and impatient children have
disturbed church services for years,
to the extreme embarrassment of
mothers and other parishioners-to say
nothing Of the discomfort Of the
elergymen who have competed with
the noise and confusion. The Mis-
souri, young women have solved a per-
picking problem and set an example
which might we'll be followed by
churches the length and breadth of the
land.

WHY PERKINS IS A MoosER.

A man of ready resource is the
spine, head and hoof Of the bull moose
element in American politics-and to
the array of qualities, eccentric and
otherwise. heretofore displayed is to
be added that of naivete. Not only
can he brandish the big stick, over
whelm regulations with the shadow of
Ananias, demolish hostile armies, and
set foreign nations by the ear-but
with equal facility and grace the
colonel can play the game of cooling
persuasiveness.
For this new revelation of the many-
sided character of the self-anointed
candidate for a third term in the
White House, Indebtedness is to Bos-
ton. The colonel lays much stress
upon situation. He studies to develop
effect. He knows that the average in
dividual is moved by the unusual, the
picturesque, the unique-hence the
value Of pose. Whether it came from
set schedule or from spontaneity,
some one at Boston. and on the historic
common, dared to mildly inquire,
What about Perkins?" ....
Did the colonel "go up in the air"
gnash his teeth and threaten annihila-
ton of the tools of the interests" thus
seeking to put him to confusion? Not
SO one could locate it through the
naked eye. Listen, while the colonel
quotes Mr.. Perkins in answer to the
question:
The prime reason why am with
You is because have children" etc.,
adding: "Curiously enough, it was al
most exactly what Mr.. Finn said to
me later. have immensely appre-
ciated the support OF Mr.. Perkins and
Mr.. Finn"
There you are-clever, isn't It? So
clever. indeed, that one is tempted to
suspect that 1t was staged rather than
sprung spontaneously from heart
overlooking with anxiety lest the coun-
try steadily sink into a state unit for
the progeny Of Mr.. Perkins and Of Mr..
F,linn--would surely 81 sink unless
lifted and saved by the colonel.
Probably Mr.. Perkins and Mr. Finn
did provide the colonel with that ex :
cellent card for gallery effect. They
are all reputed men OF good political

stagecraft. The colonel is entitled to
as full credence in declaring their ex-
PLANTATION as when he proclaimed that
he would never again stand fes election
to the presidency There is, however,
another motive that would be equally
creditahle to Mr.. PerlSins--but which
might be lacking in efficacy. He might

A PACKING HOUSE.

Fargo has a chance to secure a pack
ing house. One Of the concerns rep
resented here by a branch house is
quoted as saying his house would es-
tablish a plant here---if there was a
suffieient amount of fat live stock
raised in the state.
Officials Of another packing concern
that Is not represented in Fargo have
heen investigating this field. They
are anxious to locate here. The same
question, however, confronts them.
They say there is sufficient live stock
raised in the state-but much OF it is
shipped in an unfinished condition.
They declare that before a packing
house can ever secure the highest
grades OF meat and operate in Fargo
successfully and profitably--it must
secure the cooperation OF the farmers
in furnishing finished and fattened
cattle and hogs.
1t is claimed that as soon as the
farmers of North Dakota take up cat
tie and hog and sheep feeding in suf-
ficient numbers-there will be a rush
for Fargo by packers anxious to es-
tablish branch plants.
This certainly opens up a large field
for the farmers of this state. II they
will only feed and properly finish their
live stock, a ready market will be
opened for every fat steer and hog
they have to sell
If this plan can be encouraged and
placed in practical operation--it will
go long ways toward solving the
problem of diversified farming.
