WHAT WAS TOPIC
OF CONVERSATION
BEFORE FASHIONS?

What was the topic of conversation
before there was any fashions to talk
about?" is a question that has been
puzzling Richmond thinkers and the
students, since the advent of the dia-
phanous skirt and the skirt with the
slit.
Observers have noticed when two
women get together they begin by
telling each other how becoming their
new dresses are, which leads to a de-
tailed specification of the location OF
all seams, hens, tucks and other tech.
nical details.
This reminds one of the ladies of a
dress which she saw at the theatre
the night before. She then describes it.
So the conversation runs on, all
starting points leading directly to
styles. They may start with dance, a
club convention, a football game, a
man, horse race. magazine story,
the theatre, new way of cooking
cabbage, or the universal suffrage, but
always they end up by describing a
garment of some kind.
Here the investigator comes face to
face with the question, What did they
talk about?"
This in turn leads back to the origin
OF fashions. Taking what was known
to exist at the beginning Of the world
students have reached certain conclu
sions.
There were in the beginning, light
water, earth. animals. apple trees, and
Adam and Eve.
Adam and Eve upon coming into
this new world were probably as awed
and interested as the seventy-year old
farmer making his first trip to a city
where they actually have street cars
and the women wear slit skirts. Stu
dents believe at this time fashions
we're unknown. at least all represen
tations of persons living at that age
do not indicate the presence of any
Adam and Eve, then, talked about
the grass, the queer animals, and upor
one occasion, the only one of which
there Is any record, serpents and ap
pies. After that time there were fash
ions.

One hundred and fifty persons at
tended the G. O. F. rally in the city
hall last night to hear DR.. Zimmerman
defend his administration. A quartet
of colored men furnished campaign
songs and melodies. Efforts were made
by a number of speakers to disCredit
the charges against the administra-
ton by Mr. Alfred Bavis and others.
They focused their attention on a
statement made by Mr.. Bavis rela-
tive to the paving costs of North +
street and North Thirteenth street,
and also to condemning the Demo
cratic tariff, and prophesied immedi-
ate national disaster from Democratic
rule.
Much Political Fervor.
In their political fervor the orators
wandered far afield but were often
applauded by the audience.
Attorney Richardson, colored man,
declared that inasmuch as the Repub-

slavery every Colored man should vote
for Dr. Zimmerman and the Republi-
can ticket

FRIENDLESS HOME
GETS FIRST DONATION

The first donation received this
year by the Home for Friendless
Women came three days before the
date set for annual donation day
which will be next Tuesday.
The donation came in the form OF
three silver dollars. A man stepped
into the Home at 800 South Tenth
street today and asked for the matron,
Mrs. Thomas. When she came to the
door he handed her SO, saying, For
the benefit of the Home" He did not
state his name.
Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Gambler, pro-
baton officer, believe that the coming
donation day will be the most sue
cessful the Home has experienced.
The donations usually come in on
Tuesday morning although often many
are sent on Monday.
Annual donation days of the home
have been held for the last thirty five
or forty years on the last Tuesday in
October.

The Tariff

PROBABLY the most absorbing
problem before the American public
to-day is the outcome OF the tariff re
forms as proposed by President Will
son and the leading Democrats OF
the two houses. The big Intrcsts are
on hand with a powerful lobby, small
or sections are asking for more pro-
lection, but the who is the
one who should receive some consid-
Grafton, is asking that the reforms
be honest, along lines OF necessities,
and give the people a chance for
home competition. The Sacramento
Union reviews the situation:
Here is the assuring fact that looms
big, both in the general outline and
in such details as are given: The
tariff is to be largely reduced-prob-
ably by an average OF tw~o-hfths--on
the necessities and quasi-necessities
Of life: that is. on the articles which
+, even the poorest citizen must have.
It is to be increased on those luXuries
in which none but the wealthy deals.
The list Of necessities on which the
tariff will be largely reduced is toe

long to be considered in detail here,
but the fact that such articles as
rough or uncut diamonds. furs, etc,
are to be removed from the free list
where it is an outrage that they ever
were found are considerably taxed.
We say that this is the big fact in
connection with the proposed tariff
reform. for il leaves no room for
doubt that it will be genuine. IF not
betrayed by traitors in their own
camp. it is evident that the Democ-
racy will give the American people
the first real tariff reform that they
have known in more than a genera
ton. The change will reduce the in
come tax from tariff taxes, but it is
trusted and believed that \ graduated
income tax which will place tax bur
dens where they easiest can be borne.
on the wealthy, will offset the reduc-
ton.
The Democrats in Congress are in
dicating that Democracy's pledge to
the people will be kept. Now may
they go straight ahead in the way on
which they have started.

Tax

THE example shown regarding the
inheritance tax in New York by the
death of J Pierpont Morgan is worth
a study. In this case between three
and four millions of dollars will be
collected from the estate by the State
OF New York. \ tidy sum to say the
least.
Nevada has no Morgans, but she
has man a rich man whose wealth i
multiplying rapidly. The big man
who has made a million should be
compelled to repay the state that
made il possible. Within a few years
the inheritance tax law as adopted in
this state will be tested out Many an
estate running close to a million, and
some above have been settled. The
result has been that not even a mon
nment marks the efforts of the big
man. His heirs pick up and go TO
Europe to spend the money. and the
state where the coin was made and
where the other settler could have
settled on the vast acres, gets some
return from the land baron. who died
with his million.
Nevada will soon be called on to
try out some of the cases, and if there
is no hook or crook in the new inheri-
tance law the state treasury in a few
wears will be fatted to an extent
where the cry of empty Golfers will
be unheard New Works exemplifed
law is well worth the copying, ant
other states aside from Nevada are
taking advantage of this kind Of col
lection.

city limits, This is a move that will
be greatly appreciated and it is to be
hoped that the appointee does credit
TO his trust. This city is not a cow
pasture any longer nor should it be
allowed to remain a public dog ken
mel. Many residents have improved
their homes by removing unnecessary
and unsightly fences and their yards
should not be allowed to be ruined Or
damaged by stock running at large.
