Sketch Shows How II May

Our sketch shows a useful writing
case in which all the requisites for a
moderate amount of correspondence
may be kept. and II can easily be con
structed with the aid Of a strong
wooden box of a suitable size with a
well-hinged-on lid.
To make it, the front of the box is
removed and the exterior smoothly
covered with thin silk, the material
being turned over at the edges and
underneath and fastened on with sec
cotine or some other strong adhesive.
Inside the sides and the bottom OF
the box are lined in a like manner,
and bands of broad white elastic are
fastened across the center on either
side. These are nailed down at in
tervals with small brass-headed nails
and form n series OF loops into which
be slipped and held in place. At the
back OF the box a number OF pockets
are arranged, large one for note

cards and envelopes and two tiny
pockets for postage stamps These
pockets are bound at the edges with
narrow ribbon Fastened with brass
headed nails across the inner side of
the lid are two bands OF broad white

may be slipped in the manner shown

ALL PLANS LOOK TO 1916
Work Of Bull Moosers Is Plainly With
View to the Election in
November.

The Bul Moose slump in Maine was
neavy. Still, a Bull Moose party re-
mains in the state, and answers the
purpose of a Democratic asset. A
union OF the forces subscribing to the
policies long known as Republican
would have swept everything into the
Republican basket with ease.
MIR. Roosevelt visited the state q
short time since. and must have been
informed OF the true situation. He
must have known when he quilted the
state of the change that had occurred
since 1912.
His friends. however, under his ad-
vice, kept up their work. Those who
voted the Bull Moose ticket did SO In
the hope of aiding his presidential
plans.
This is the essence and meaning OF
Bull Moosery wherever II exists. The
admiration is to keep 1915 in mind.
Continue the menace to the Repub-
licans. and in the end they will be con-
quered by IT,
VIII they? II they are II will be q
remarkable occurrence.
To assume that Mr. Roosevelt will
head the leading opposition to the
Democrats two years hence involves
the assumption that the Republicans
VIII come to concede the unworthiness
ne has charged against them, and their
inability again to give the country
good government They will have to
renounce their name, take his name,
accept his full program. and in al
things submit themselves TO him.
He turns now TO the middle states
and the near West He wants the Bull
Moosers in those sections to follow the
example of their Maine brethren. Vote
this year for effect In 1916. Never
mind If no local candidates are elected
next November. Think OF that Novem-
Der when national candidates are TO be
voted for again.

ColoneI's Measure Taken.

The New York Herald punctures Mr.
Roosevelt's newborn tariff enthusiasm
through and through. saying: There
have been three distinct periods in the
colonels progress toward his present
assurance as to the tariff problem. The
hrst OF them covered the days when
free trade was proud to enroll him un-
der its banner The third Is the fnal
period, in which a commission en-
cages his ardent devotion. The sec
and period? Alas! The second period
was one OF transition, doubt and per
pleNity. if doubt and perplexity ever
have assailed the colonel. and it is the
lasting misfortune of his countrymen
that this interval included the seven
years. five months and eighteen days
OF his administration as president, dur
ing which he did nothing to settle the
controversy. How happy the nation
might be if the days OF the coloners
ascendancy had had only conceded
with one of his eras OF confidence on
this Vexatlous question:" Well any
way. the country has the colonels

tons pretty we'll taken. to the discour-

There is no doubt about It. 1t was

ROOSEVELT IN JEST.
Infers There Are Other Leaders
in Bull Moose Party.
Declaration That He Believes He
Will Not Be Candidate in 1915"
10 a Proper Subject for
Laughter.

Mr.. Roosevelt is quoted as saying
in "A letter to a prominent Maryland
Republican: Il will not be candidate
in 1916
Guardedly? veA Note the Qualifi-
cation. at the present time" He has
nearly two years In which to change
his mind: and he is a lightning change
artist
II he had said, Under no circum-
stances could l be induced TO become
a candidate in 1916" the public would
have smiled broadly and audibly. II
would have remembered things and
thought things. A declaration made
ten years ago would have obtruded
itself
In his present statement Mr. Roose
welt seeks to controvert the charge
that he is the Bull Moose party. that
without his leadership it would dis
integrate. He would have his per
sonal friend In Maryland believe that
the Bull Moosers have other leaders
worthy the presidency, and that one of
them may be nominated two years
hence.
No Republican is likely TO be cap
tured by that. There are some able
men in the Bull Moose party. but the
name of not one of them is associated
with presidential nomination. The
prevailing idea In both Republican and
Democratic circles is that Mr. Roose-
welt would not yield first place to any
of them.
The men who are now Bull Moosers
and likely to remain so at least two
years longer know no leader but Mr..
Roosevelt. To them he is all in all
Take George w. Perkins. Is it believ-
able that he would stand to his guns
as he is doing II he was not calculat-
ing on Mr.. RoOsevelt's nomination?
His interest in politics relates to the
trusts, and on the trust question he
and Mr.. Roosevelt are In perfect agree
ment. With Mr.. Roosevelt back in the
White House. Mr.. Perkins would know
to dot what the presidential policy
would be as to the further regulation
OF the trusts.
Mr.. Roosevelt dominates the Bull
Moose party as completely as Mr.. VIII
son does the Democratic party. When
ever the Democrats are In doubt they
turn to Mr.. Wilson, and whenever he
chooses to decide controversy his de-
cision Is accepted. All Bull Moose CON
troversies are referred to Mr.. Roose-
welt; and only in the case of the Hin
man candidacy in New York has an
appeal been taken from his decision.
Count Mr.. Roosevelt out OF the equa-
ton for 1916, and nothing remains of
Bull Moosery. He is the whole show.
What the effect will be Oh his for
tunes II a small Bull Moose vote is
thrown everywhere in November is be-
yond calculation at present. except
that he will have to abate some OF the
dictatortal spirit that now possesses
him.
