ION TO WASHINGTON"

Granted as favorable weather is now indicated
by all the signs, there can be doubts tnat the in
auguration of President Wilson will bring to WASH
ngton the greatest throngs of people that have
gathered here for such a ceremony. 1t is many
years since President was inaugurated, whose ac-
cession to power meant the complete turning over
of tine Government to new political control. The
country is greater richer more populous; the event
is one of rejoicing and celebration for the members
of the party that is just coming into power. They
will gather for it in numbers never before known.
Washingtons management of this occasion will
have much to do with determining the sentiment of
the country toward the Capital City, This city has
always held high place in the sentiments and affec
tons of the people. They regard it in a peculiar
way the protege of the whole nation 1t is for the
people VIII, make up the population of Washington,
to give clear proof that they deserve the good will
and kindly sentiments that entertained for tnem
Just at this time of determined effort to impose
upon Congress narrow view of the relationship of
the nation to Washington, the gathering here of a
vast multitude of patriotic, enthusiastic Americans
constitutes an opportunity for this city. Washing
ton mas need for friends; for friends within the
Democratic party; for friends who will be able and
willing to exercise real influence. Now is the time
and the chance to make friends.
There is uncertainty about the lofty aspira-
tons of the country in behalf of Washington; no
doubt of the generally friendly sentiment; no ques-
tionng that there is national ambition that this
city should be made worthy capital of country
that loves feel assured that it is second to none
The question is whether the third of million people
who constitute Wasnngtons population are the kind
of people who deserve the interest and support of
the whole country. In very specific way, the
people of Washington are looked upon by the hun
dred million trustees for the national pride and
ambition for Washington. Are they worthy of the
trust? Do they deserve the measure of special bene
fits that the nation is perfectly willing to confer upon
them? In the long it will be willing to confer
these benefits only if it is certain that the people
here deserve, appreciate, and will utilize them in no
too selfish manner. Washington has need to realize
its obligation to the nation; to appreciate that the
nation expects it to be model city and model pop
ulaton.
The present inaugural occasion will give Wash
ington the chance to show itself at the best to the
people whose friendly attitude it most needs to cu
tivate. For Washington to make good impression
now, enlist amiable sentiments to inspire grateful
recollections of hospitality that was not CONNER
cal, is of greater importance perhaps than it ever
was before.

GERMANS IN AMERICAN SHIPPING.

The story which Bernard NJ Baker, of Baltimore,
has laid before the House Committee on Merchant
Marine, concerning the proposal of the great Ham,
burg rg-American Steamship Company to invest heav-
lily in line of coastwise steamships to operate
through the Panama canal, between ports on the
east and west coasts of the United States will COM
mand new interest in the whole problem of canal
administration, our coastwise shipping laws and
canal tolls. Mr. Baker set about long ago to raise
American capital to establish line of vessels in
this trade. He gave to the public startling story
of the antagonism which his efforts met At many
points, by reason, as he believed, of the influence
which our coastwise shipping, combination exerted
with fnancers.
The character and operations of this combination
have been investigated by Congressional authority,
with the result that most uncomfortable impression
mas become fixed in the public mind concerning the
relation of the shipping combination to the railways
This, in turn, has been responsible for much of the
sentiment in opposition to granting free tolls to
American coastwise shipping the belief being strong
y entertained by many people that the grant of free
tolls would amount to nothing more than subsidy
to this combination.
Mr.. Baker, having failed, according to his own
detailed story, to raise capital in this country has
now succeeded in interesting the German hackers of
the Hamburg American line, who are willing to con-
tribute one-half the needed millions, if American
capital will subscribe the other half The project is
to be started with line of ten new steamers of
10000 tons and le-knots speed but Mr.. Baker, in
his statement to the committee yesterday made plain
that his German associates would not engage in the
enterprise until afrmatvely assured that their par
ticipaton would be entirely agreeable to American
sentiment and to the National Administration.
They propose to establish their line under Amer
ican incorporation, operate il under the American
coastwise laws, comply with every regulation i'm

ONE MORE CHANCE, MR.. TAFT.

President Taft has done vast number OF eml-
nent services to the Democratic party in the last four
years. He began with his support of Cannon and
the old rules, continued it with his signing of the
Payne-Aldrch BILL and climaxed it by insisting on
his own nomination at Chicago by whatever means
might be necessary
Now he confronts his last chance to do big
stroke for the party to which he has seemed so de-
voted If he will save the Democrats from them
selves by vetong the public building porkbarrel bill

against the unthinkable extravasances of a regime

ADOPT COL0RING OF BANANA
For Paris Mid.Season That Tint Has
Been Generally Pronounced
the Favorite.

Banana Is the chic color of the
Paris mid-season, not the tint of the
skin, but Of the fruit inside, not very
different from the also fashionable
champagne tint A costume of ratine
in the tone of the wine fastens UP the
left side with large buttons in an
open design showing an enameled
flower in blue and green inclosed in
gilt circle. Here, again, skunk
borders the hem and also trims the
mantle-cloak, much draped at the back
but with only short ends In front
In addition, wide neck boa of the
fur is worn. The smart woman of
the moment is OVERRIDING her furs,
but perhaps this is good for trade.
Another favorite color for dress mate
rails is golden brown, but tone
deeper than tan, Almond green is in
great favor, the beautiful tint of the
husks of the nut. Bright red, which
suddenly burst into favor holds its
own and Is much seen in both dress
colorings and in trimmings.
Midsummer night blue Is seen in
velvets whether plain or frappe, in
silk and wQolen brocades and, above
all In the soft broadcloth now almost
as much in demand as it was a few
years ago, when every smart woman
had at least one such gown in her
wardrobe. No material, not even cash
mere, falls in SO clingingly to the flg-
ure as this supple cloth.

need be served, though extra touches,
like homemade candy of unusual kind,
crisp buttered toast, or sailed pea
nuts are inexpensive additions. II
the food is good it will appeal to pal
ates.
Two quarts of ice cream will serve
dozen guests if put In small glasses.
This will not be more than one dol

cost for material 60 cents or less. For
candy one could make sea foam for
the cost CT two pounds of brown sugar,

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

A sun bath is invaluable for delicate
women and children.
Lack of sufficient sleep soon shows
in ones appearance.
Eight hours sleep out of every "a
is required for building up the body.
1t is bad practice to clip the cuticle
at the base of the nails, as the skin
is apt to become rough and shaggy
Prepared chalk is very good for
whitening the teeth, but If used too
often will, in time, destroy the enamel.
The sun is very good for the hair
and, after washing, the hair should be
dried in the sun. in the open air if
possible.
There is nothing better than red
clover tea for curing rheumatism, says
a writer. Get the red clover and
steep one cup with little scullcap
and drink half glass after meals and
before retiring; also get little pure
iron tonic from your doctor to keep
the blood rich.
Every woman caring for the beauty
of her skin should protect 1t from the
harsh winds OF the winter months, as
she did during gusty March days.
Chiffon is most desirable, there being
no harmful dots and designs. A thin
black is the very best selection, as It
protects without impairing the sight,
and comes in proper widths to cover
hair as well.
