ON Fake Secretary Of State.

W. AAN D@GA NNGA - 0NAN~e
Mr.. Bryan is again greatly ex-
cited about liquor. In this
weeks issue of the "~Commoner"
ha issues a PROCLAMATION to the
Democratic party, in which he
says:
"The Democrats of the nation
have an issue to face, and they
~ ay as we'll prepare for it. The
} uor interests are at bay they
Z e on the defensive. They rea-
lie hat they have but a few
n ore years in which to fatten
upon the woes of their victims,
bit they are fighting desperate
~.
"The Democratic Party cannot
afford to shield the brewery, the
istillery and the saloon from the
rising wrath of a determined
people. Democracy is the Ma
TONS hope on political and eco
nomic questions-let it not, by
taking sides with the liquor in
terests, repel those who put
moral issues first.
"The liquor interests are a mill
stone about the Party's neck"
We are not aware that the
Democratic party as a whole is
more closely allied to "the liquor
interests than the Republican
Party. The prohibition senti-
ment in the Democratic South, is
much stronger than in the Re-
publican North. Virginia, a
Democratic State, adopted pro-
hibition this fall, while Califor-
mia, a Progressive Republican
State, overwhelmingly rejected
1t. Senator Penrose, in Pennsyl-
wanna, owed his victory for reac-
honary Republicanism in no
small part to the support OF
what Mr.. Bryan would call the
saloon crowd.
Prohibition is a State issue,
and is likely to remain a State
issue, for many years, with
voters dividing on personal rath-
er than on party lines. But
whether it ever becomes a Nat
ional issue or not, we should
think that Mr.. Bryan had
enough important duties to at
tend to without assuming charge
OF a prohibition propaganda.
There have been Secretaries of
State who would find in the Mex
Icar situation and in the great
est war known to human history
a sufficient field for all their en-
orgies and activities. They
would be so absorbed by their
difficult and responsible official
duties that they would neither
know nor care whether the
liquor interests were "on the de-
jensive" or the offensive.

Wells IN BECOMING COLORs
Bright Shades Are the Most Largely
Used, Though Wide Choice
Is Allowed.

The desire for bright colors Is in
Guided in the new wells In lovely
shades of violet, gray, green, taupe,
tan, purple and blue. There are most
charming shaded wells of chiffon and
marquisette-like fabric, which
shades from light blue to deep tones
Of the same color at each end. Flesh
color over the face, shading to deep
rose red at the ends, Is becoming
shading. Palest lavender shading by
degrees into deepest purple of royal
tint is another lovely veil. Then there
are pale yellows shading to rich
orange, faint green's to dark green
and many others.
The new all-over patterns on wells
are on exceptionally sheer, fine
meshes. The designs are delicate In
character and scroll-1ike or trailing In
effect, accomplished by means Of a
woven or hand-run thread combined
with dainty leaves and flowers. Bor-
ders are narrow and very fine in
effect.
Little silk auto caps, made in a
soft style to be pulled down over the
head, have the plain colored and
shaded wells run through the turn
over rims and designed to be crossed
in back and brought front to tie under
the chin or ear.

A sign on the barn of John J.
Pigot of Riverhead, l.. l., contains the
following in large white letters on
black background:

and lands hereabouts. Law, court

Gated man, past middle age and rep

Brooklyn two years ago. He bought
farm on Mill Pond, the water rights
of which are controlled by the River
head Electric Light company,
Soon afterward he complained to
the company that his land was being
flooded because the water was held
back for power. This was denied.
Then Pigot hired hail. invited the
public, and made an address. He
said Riverhead was controlled by a
ring" and assaulted several leading
citizens.
Subsequently he sued the electric
company for $4,000, alleging that his
farm had been damaged. The action
was decided by Justice Blackmar in

Meredith Picked Barrie.

II was lunching one day with Sidney
Colvin at the British museum, where
he was in residence as curator Of
prints and engravings. Colvin told me
about a new writer who seemed to
have red blood in him, and who had
done a good deal of work out in India
that was beginning to be talked about
in London. His name, Colvin said,
was Rudyard Kipling. The name was
so unusual that / had to write it down
to remember 1t.
Shortly after this l paid my first
visit to George Meredith. I went to
Box Hill to see him about getting the
right to syndicate several of his nov
elettes, such as The Tale of Chloe,
which had never been published in
book form and were unknown in
| America. During the course of our
conversation ] said:
Mr.. Meredith, Mr.. Colvin thinks
very highly of a new writer named
Rudyard Kipling. He believes he Is
the coming man. Do you know any
| thing about him?'

emphatically, is James Matthew Bar

The New Fable of the GaIumptious
Girl Who Tried to Start Some
thing and Did.

Once there was a kittenish Senorita
out on a Spur Division of the Dinkus-
Vile Short Line
It was one OF those not-dead-but-
sleeping Settlements with a Sheet
iron Cornice on every Store Building
and the Hack in which Gen. Sherman
once rode still meeting the Trains.
All the other Residents were sitting
back on their Surplus trying to hatch
out 7 per cent Anyone suggesting a
Public Improvement was led into

hs~Ied
A Girl with real Jamaica Ginger
coursing through her Arteries did not
have a Look-In SO long as she was
hung up at this Whistling Post, where
every Meeting OF the Research Club
was a Poultry Exhibit and the local
A6tor played a Brown Derby in con-
junction with the extreme Soup and
Fish.
So the Senorita, by name Madeleine,
used to burst into Tears every time
she saw a train pulling away from
the Depot, for she certainly had laid
the Soubrette's Curse on Home Sweet
Home
She had read those large explosive
articles In the Family Department of
the Sunday Paper telling how the
Smart Set hang by their Toes from
fhandaIiarc and iy1rnn into pIrhIic
Fountains and she painted for the wild
free life of the Idle Rich.
Now it happened that Madeleine
had married Female Cousin living
at the corner of Easy Street and Epi-
curean Avenue up in the Big Town
Brass Bedstead
Cousin invited Madeleine to come
and see her, out of mere Politeness,
for she had the Country Lass sized up
as a Myrtle Killjoy, whose Limit prob
ably would be a Burton Holmes Lee
Tea Shop.
Madeleine saw that she was down
in Class B and would have to make an
immediate Demonstration of Form to
avoid being permanently Benched or
sent back to the Bush League.
Consequently, as soon as she found
herself In the Main Drawing Room
among the Ruperts and Rosalinds,
she began to break Furniture and do
Head-Spins on the Bokharas. There
upon she was elected full Sister of
