A Minority Administration.

sight of the Significance of the figures

comfort he seeks. Two of the parties
supported the Protective principal
and their combined strength was
Z ,6o4, ,664, !. a clear majority of the
whole vote. If the case is exahaife6s
by separate states the point is empisa-
sized that the present administration
represents the smallest minority that
ever founa-itseffsi in. control of the.
country. Irdiiaea, for instance, has
solid Democratic delegation of
thirteen in the house, yet the party
polled only 43. OF per cent, of the total
vote of the state Wilson's vote in
Indiana was 291, 1870, and that for
Protective platforms BIB, ,2T4. Ohio's
delegation in the House is eighteen
Democrats, three Republicans. Will

Protective platforms received 506, ,393
Five of the Democratic congressman
from Ohio have stated that they will
not vote for free wool. No doubt
they know how their district stands
on Protection and are aware that the
party divisions of last year put a
minority Temporarily in power They
will steer clear of the Free Trade of
President Wilson and Secretary

DIcFAcRANS

Speaking of trust-bustipg, Adam
and Eve busted the apple trust but
they had TO sweat for it.
People out in the country must
have noticed a peculiar noise one
morning last week. We beg to be
permitted to explain that the disturb
ance was caused by the sudden bloom
ing out of bunch of yellow Junior
shirts
Hitchraeks on main street were

that the racks are removed something

ering in the winds of winter or made

horde of rapacious flies.

vention is worth ten million. swats of

The primary swats should be deIiv-
cred throughout the winter and early
spring.
The index of a book is generally
printed on the last pages in it. Like
wise. the kitchen door is usually
placed at the rear of the house-and
may serve a simiiar purpose.
The old stone tank tower at the
southeast corner of the public square,
instead of being an eye sore, might be
made TO be a thing of beauty and a
Joy forever. without money and with
but little labor, simply by planting
climbing vines around it such as ivy,
trumpet vines, etc. Uncle Heck would
be glad to do this without cost to the
public if given permission and the
assurance that his labor would be
protected and appreciated.
And, by the way, it would be better
to leave the southeast corner of the
public square in rounded form, prop
erly ornamented, than to restore it to
its original sharp angle. 1t would
look better and give more street
room where lots of room is needed
Uncle Heck's idea would be to build
cement wall or parapet around the
corner on the curb line. This wall
should be raised as high as the park
inside the fence. The wall should be
surmountedH with railing and space
behind the wall should be filed in
with soil and grassed over. The old
well might be filled up. There should
be a cement walk, or promenade, all
the way around the public. square, or
courthouse park as it is sometimes
called, and the old fence should be
torn down. There ought to be no
need of fence around the square.
The old fence is unsightly and should
be removed. There is a good walk on
one side of the square already and to
complete the walk around the square
wouli cost but little if any more than
a new fence ON four sides. Let the
women's clubs take the matter up
with the city and county authorities.
Let us make the place attractive. 1t
would be a good advertisement for

Umbrellas and ParasoIs.

Fashions change In umbrellas as well
as In clothes We find on visiting the
London museum that George ~. used
to carry a green silk umbrella fringed
with gold and about twice az large as
the umbrella OF today. Parasols, too.
have diminished in size since they first
came into use. Henri Estienne, writ
ing in 1873, speaks OF a parasol as ca
pabie generally Of sheltering four per-
sons from the sun. And when they
diminished in circumference the ma
terial remained Of the heaviest. Red
velvet parasols. with heavy gold
fringes, were carried by ladies Of fash
