WOman's Dress.

Golfers Weekly editorially
has the following interesting
comment on woman's dress:
"Never within our living
memory has woman's dress been
more attractive than it is today.
The soft lines, the tunic-like gar
'ments, loose and open at the
throat, surely make for a COM
fort to which woman is too often
a stranger. Barring certain
small exaggerations, it is all
fairly simple, too, and vastly
more becoming than most Of the
fashions of yesteryear. Our
masculine perception may be
much beclouded, but should not
these three points-comfort, at
Effectiveness, simplicity-be the
cardinal ones in dress? Until
the age of paper clothes, fore
told by Bellamy, arrives, the
present fashion seems very
passable interregnum. We only
wish that woman, so active and
alert in her more than dawning
independence, were firm and in
dependent enough to hold to a
fashion that is good until she is
certain of a better-and not fool
ishly, sheepishly, yield to a
worse"

SECRETARY of State Earle w.
Hodges, who has discharged the
duties of this office so creditably
for a part Of two terms, will be
a candidate for reelection in the
next primary. Hodges is an af-
fable young man, an efficient &C
countant, and when matters of
importance have come before
him he has rightly sought the
advice of the attorney general
and acted thereon regardless of
consequences, mandamuses or
iniunctions. He has strong
friends and we'll Wishers Wher-
ever he is known, and he is
widely known throughout the
state. He will be a hard man to

Added to this, you have a five
mill county general tax, the large
part of which through the up
keep of the courts and jail and
the salaries of county officials is
spent in Newport. Thus you see
that % mills out of a total of
26 7-8 mills are used and spent
at home. This further justifies
the practice of previous boards
and ought to be a sufficient ap-
peal to the present to let New
port assessments stand and not
retard the progress OF our
schools and city.

The Principle of Tipping.

Charley Gates got mis- name
in all the newspapers by giving
waiter a 5000 tip. John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., got fully as
much publicity by giving wait
'er a 10 cent tip.-Hot Springs
Sentinel-Record.
That shows in two instances
the effect of heredity. Charley
/ is the son Of a spender and John,
Jr., of an accumulation. How
ever, it is certain no waiter ever
earned a 5000 tip or a ten cent
tip. When a man buys a meal
he buys the service necessary to
that meal. 1t is an imposition
that he must pay the wages of
the water in tips to save the pro-
urietOr the necessity of paying
him, to say nothing of the de-
graduation of the waiter due to
living on gratuities instead of on
honest wages received for hon
est service.-Fort Smith Times

Taxes Largely For Local Needs.

Taxes Largely For Local Needs.
In bringing up valuations to
provide needed revenue for
county and state, it was natural,
logical and right that the larg-
est city in the county and county
seat should lead the wayin high
er valuations, brought about
partially by previous boards of
equalization and assessors, but
largely due to a willingness upon
the part of the tax payers of this
city to stand a heavier per cent
of the burden than the remain
der of the county. With the
state facing a deficit, the county
and city both on scrip basis at
that time and our school district
running practically one year be-
hind in it's revenue, the tax-pay-
ers of this city were willing and
did meet the issue of higher as
assessments which it was under
stood were to be gradually in
creased to a so per cent basis on
all classes of property in every
county of the state. AS the ne
cessity for this revenue contin-
ues urgent, why should the
Board of Equalization interfere
with assessments here, when the
property owners have fixed and
placed these valuations?
When our city and district
needs are greater, why shouldn't
our valuations be higher? Our
taxes are largely local and the
part which goes to the state is
small. Our five mill corporation
tax, seven mill school tax, three
mill state school fund tax, which
in the end is sent back to us
through apportionment, and
three mill road tax, making a
total of 10 mills or three-fourths
of our tax rate, all provide reve-

son, respecting the storage bat
terry, are such as to provoke a
degree of wonder. Yet it is GER
tainly too early to characterize
them as eXtravagant.
The fact is the race of men is
still a group of children in its
relation to the problem of ener-
gy. For centuries, for millen-
NUNS, probably, we depended
on the wind and the mountain
stream. 1t was only yesterday
that we thought out the steam
engine. That is a crude ma
chine-even in it's elaborate and
| perfected form, a mere pioneer
makeshift. Consider the latest
turbine steamer on the path
from continent to continent. 1t
may seem wonderful to the I'M
imaginative mind that the great
ship is able to shuttle the sea at
such speed, or at all.
Yet how primitive is the me-
thod by which power is secured
to move her. Her dynamos are
in truth in the stirred-up energy
| of the sun, but this is released
awkwardly, painfully, blunder-
ingly, by the sweating labor of
miners, railroad brakemen, coal
beavers and stokers, and in so
Grass a form that the huge bulk
is big enough only to hold ener-
gy sufficient for a weeks travel,

self constitutes half the burden.
i Meanwhile, the very sea and
air through which the ship trav-
els, not alone in their restless
ness, but in their chemical and
electrical constitution, are palpi-
tant with power anxious to do
with infinite ease more than is
now achieved through grueling
labor.
The dynamo is a step beyond
the steam mill, as the latter is E
step beyond the windmill, the
water wheel and the sail
though it is not through pure
mechanism that energy will be
most economically appropriated
The storage battery is a con
serving engine of much promise
although, as at present known
it has accomplished little.
The whole world is a-throb
energy, power, eager to be
something, is chained and cham
bered on every hand. The
mighty processes of nature are
at play-they must be taught to
work. 1t is time assuredly for
some wise man to devise means
to persuade the unemployed
giants into our service, to induce
them to do for us at our will far
more than Mr.. Edison expects of
his storage acknowledgements
