The Way the Girls Dress.

Richland Democrat: The follow
ing lines from an unidentified news
paper were handed in by an observ-
ant reader. They come very close
to the naked truth:
Little girl, you look so small,
Don't you wear no clothes at all:
Don't you wear no ''shimmy" shirt!
Don't you wear no pettiskirt?
Just your corset and your hose
Are these all your underclothes?
Little girl, when on the street,
You appear to be all feet,
With your skirt so very tight,
You're indeed an awful sight;
Nothing on to keep you warm,
Crazy just to show your form.
Little girl, you won't live long,
Just because you live all wrong;
Can't you wear more underclothes
Than your corset and your hose?
After a while / do believe
You will dress like Mother Eve.

How the Trouble Began.

Robert Mccullough, one of Gen
eral Pickett's captains, in the st.
Louis Republic: One day, away back
in the past centuries Yankee skip
per was sailing his splendid brig
ribbed craft up the African coast
attracted by a good harbor on the
shores Of which there appeared q
settlement. He landed, finding a
great gathering of natives. He began
bartering trinkets with which nc
was supplied for pottery and wares
of crude and curious design, hie
vessel was a curio to the natives
They indicated their desire to In
spect it, which desire he gratlfied,
and when he had perhaps couple
of hundred of them in the hold the
matches were closed down, his an
chor was weighed and he sailed
away to Boston, Arriving there he
sold these black people into slavery
to his brother Yankees, and he
sailed back to Africa and brought
many other loads of these same
black people and sold them all into
slavery.
Later on, these shrewd Yankees
denied that in the years to come a
proclamation would be made by the
President of the United States re-
leasing from bondage all these black
people, and they proceeded to sell
their blacks to their Southern
brethren, when the money from the
sales was safely invested they made
declaration that it was wrong te
hold black people in bondage.

s.Senator Thornton Against Free
S,,car ,:

sugar.
AS specialized from Washington,
d. c., Senator Thornton in an inn
passioned speech is credited as hay-
ing denounced the Democratic de-
termination to make sugar free in
1913. He said:
Il owe to the people of my State
far greater devotion than l owe 10
the Democratic party
Who are .'the people Of my State
to whom he alludes?
Are they the sugar teats.n the
comparatively limited in number
who grow the cane from which su-
gar is produced?
The people Of my State whom
Senator Thornton should represent,
comprise at least four-fifths of the
Democrats of the State who favor
tariff reform as proclaimed by the
Democracy Of the Nation.
Possibly Senator Thornton has
misled himself in the belief that he
will be permitted to do as Senator
Sam McEnery did, frequently, in
voting with the Republicans, but
such irregularities will not be toll
Grated, especially when on the issue
there is involved a dominant prin-
ciple, whose triumph is dependent
on a barefmajority Of its advocates.
Should Senator Thornton vote
with the Republicans in opposition
to the Underwood Democratic tariff
bill, he will forfeit his right of rec
ognition as a Democrat and may as
we'll remain aligned with the Re
publican protectionists.
It would seem that Senator
Thornton can not divest himself of
sugar. It would appear that he can
not rise to a patriotic duty and his
every effort is fixed On narrow
margin of local interests.
If local interests throughout the
United States were to prevail, tar
if reform downward would be i'm
possible and the teachings and the
principles of the Democracy would
be a sham and a delusion.
Possibly from his personal view
Senator Thornton may bid defiance
to the Democracy of Louisiana, but
lie will be called to an accounting
should he fail in his duty to the
people and to the party, in whose
name and by whose authority he
holds his office of senator from the
State of Louisiana.

Financial Stringency.

Who is it that is responsible for
what is called financial strlngency,
and why should there be financial
stringency except as preteX'
through which financiers, so-called.
and money lenders are enabled to
add to their wealth?
And why is it that United States
bonds, based on gold and backed by
the government, have been de-
pressed recently by speculators and
their allies?
Is this financial stringency sug-
gested with generalization, with the
view and for the purpose of embar-
RAISING the currency bill of the
United States approved by President
Wilson, which is designed to place
the control of the finances of the
country in the hands Of the people
instead of the bankers?
AS an Offset to the programme Of
the -financiers and money lenders
who are being held responsible for
the financial stringency, Secretary
Of the Treasury McAdoo has inau-
gurated a policy with commendable
anticipation that will promote the
marketing and the movement OF
crops through the deposit of twen-
ty-five to fifty millions Of dollars OF
the government funds in national
banks OF Southern and Western
States.
II is undeniable that under the
system which has prevailed under
the domination Of the Republicans,
the great banks of the country and
their interlocking directorates have
controlled the financial situation,
especially at harvest time, but for
tunately there has been provided
the relief which will be fully ap-
prceiated not only by the farmers
but by all classes Of the people en-
gagged in or dependent upon COM
mercial pursuits.
With ample means for all legiti-
mate business purposes, it is only
reasonable to anticipate fairly
prosperous and active business sea-
son, all of which should be credited
to the Democratic administration,
with Woodrow Wilson, President,
hd Treasurer McAdoo, the man
Who has control Of the money bags.
