1T is discreditable thing that there
have been circulated in this county, Sc
cretly and maliciously, misreprcsenta-
tons and scandals concerning the Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress, Hon. VIM.
g. Brown. The source OF these false
hoods is generally known and the reason
for them is apparent, and no person Of
fair mind ought TO be influenced by them.
Such methods Of campaigning should be
rebuked and the originatorS OF the lies
and circulatorS OF the scandals held in the
utmost contempt. Stabbing a man in the
back, from the dark, is no less than crim-
inal, and if such methods are unrebuked
our political affairs will soon be in a dis
gusting mess.
We regard Mr.. Brown as worthy o.
every Democratic vote in this county
both from personal and political stand
point, and he ought TO be supported with
the more earneStness because of the I'M
fair and dastardly attempt 10 iniure him.

THIS campaign has been an unusual
one. in that there has been so little speak
ing by the candidates or their friends.
No one, however, need be at loss to
understand the issues. The main con-
test is that between the candidates for
Congress on the Republican and Demo-
cratic tickets. and the chief issue is
whether or not President Wilson and his
administration shall be supported or con-
demned. For our part, we believe that
the President is worthy vote OF conf
dence, and the way TO give him that
honor is to vote for Democratic Con-
gressmen, who will support his policies
and back up his administration.

Most reasonable people are thanking
God that in these times OF war and ru-
mors OF war we have President Wilson
in the White House. He ought to be en-
couraged by returning TO Congress a rous-
ing Democratic majority.

CONGRESS adjourned last Saturday al
Ter having been in continuous session for
567 days-breaking all records in the his
tory OF our country.
There has never been session OF
Congress in which there has been so
much constructive legislation, nor has
any session ever been more free from
scandal, political or otherwise. States
manship and faithfulneSS TO duty has
characterized its members and its record
is a credit TO the administration of which
il has been so efficient part.

SENATOR GOFF came to the surface
long enough the past week TO make sew
eral political speeches in West Virginia,
one Of which was at Martinsburg Satur-
day night. The Senator was very severe
on the Democratic administration, con-
demning il strongly for its useless ex-
penditure ofmoney." Senator Goffwould
certainly seem to be the last man in the
country to harp on such subject, for he
is the recipient OF about the most useless
money that IS being spent by our govern
ment at the present time-drawing two
tat salaries for which he gives practically
no equivalent. As a retired federal Judge
he is still drawing big salary. for which
there is no pretense that he renders any
service and as Senator he is paid large
sum, which he draws with a regularity
far in excess of his attendance on the
sessions of that body. for il is no secret
that he is seldom seen in the Senate.
Under such circumstances il i'll becomes
him to find fault concerning the useless
expenditure OF money" His inconsist-
ency makes him ridiculous.

NEXT Tuesday, November Sd, the cleo
ton for Congressman from this district,
Congressman Large from the State,
State Senator from the district and
several county officers will be held. II
is a foregone conclusion that Democratic
county officers will be elected, as they
are worthy and popular men with whom
no fault is found. There is no question,
of course, concerning the election oil
Judge Frank Beckwith, Democratic can
didate for the State Senate, for he will
command the party strength and have the
usual majority, as he ought to have.
We make an urgent appeal 10 the voters
to vote for MIR. Brown and for COL
Hodges, the Democratic candidates for
Congress. This is Republican district
and Republican State. and though these
gentlemen are undoubtedly the strongest
men that the party could put up, they are
going 10 need every vote that they Can
get. The Democrat who cuts either oil
them or who fails to come to the polls
next Tuesday is assuming heavy res
possibility, for he will be striking blow
at President Wilson and his administra-
ton at crisis in the worlds history when
our government needs the moral support
OF every thinking man. Ii will read
lily be observed that the election of a
Republican Congress next Tuesday
would be Encouragement to the Presi-
dent that would seriously impair his use
fulness just at the time when he is giving
his utmost effort for the welfare of our
country.
Mr.. Brown and Colonel Hodges are
worthy of every vote, and the President
needs them. The Democrat who fails
in his support is striking hard blow at
his party.

ruffies in the sleeves of this dress. They
are made of net like the vest, and bound.
Here the modish crush girdle is retained.
This model is also intended for cotton
crGpes, and ratine.
Speaking of ''bound ruffles,' for sleeves.
calls attention to similar treatment of two
circular founces about the hips of the
lower left figure. The skirt (S212) is
plain and close fitting, narrow at the foot,
and yet cut so as to have the latest sill
houette outline produced by the founces.
1t is made of gabardine, a material vie
ing with serge for practical wear; and
one which hangs well. The binding is
taffeta silk cut on the bias. Binding of
braid, on rufIies for street skirts are ex-
ceedingly smart again, with a similar
finish on the jacket worn with it. Ribbon
velvet is also much used as the finish of
lace or net ruffles.
Still the upward tilt of skirts in front
is seen. Two TUNES, cut slightly circu-
lar, so as to fit the hips snugly are the
feature of a very practical and becoming
skirt in model (S195). As shown, the
model is made of a lightweight summer
suiting, with a fancy ribbon vest and cuffs,
and soft silk girdle. The lines of the

features that are pleasing and easily
adapted to the needs of the average
woman.
Box plaits are again in vogue. They
have ventured in with the excuse of let
ting a little fullness into the skirt bot
tom to make walking easier. Outing
skirts, for golf and tennis will have some
plaitS, disguised, or hidden, if not plainly
in view. The large figure near the centre
of this page shows one of the latest types
of dressy afternoon gown, made of a
brocaded crepe de Chine. The skirt
(S14S) has two box plaits in the middle
of the front, side drapery, just enough
bouffant to be up to the minute; and even
the hint at a tunic in the middle front
section, which is trimmed with a row of
buttons. The soft blouse of the same ma
terial has a rounded collar seeming to
outline bosom shaped vest, having no
collar. While the fiaring Medici and the
Chinese collars are much used on some
dresses, there is no decided tendency to-
ward stock collars, save in a few strictly
tailored waists, and a few neckwear ac-
cessories, which the manufacturer has ex-
plotted for the sake of a change. You
will notice that there are long circular

parasols, which like all other articles of
feminine adornment are more or less fussy.
1t is quite the correct thing to trim your
parasols as you would your hats Para
soils handles are long to allow for the
height of hats of the moment. Some
handles are of jet or irridescent
beads; others are of natural wood, .,,e
plain or carded and still others have
tops or knobs of colored quartz.
Dressed in the attire which Paris de-
signers are now featuring, many smartly
gowned women look as if they walked out
of some olden time pictures Vatican
and Directoire hats have been reproduced
from portraits. Quantity picturesque are
the latest plateaux of straw or velvet with
loops of ribbon feathers, or flowers piled
high at the back. A pretty and new
way of trimming a small sailor shape APP
pears in the band of black satin ribbon,
and bow under the brim of the hat on the
lower left figure.

NEAGP1E effects are conspicuous in
4VA parasols, as well as in dresses and
hats for the season of 1914. Black and
white stripes are smart and popular, as
instanced in the novel parasol shown on
this page with the brocaded crepe de Chine
costume. Shape counts for as much as
the covering itself This particular
novelty has rolling edge not unlike the
upturned brim of sailor hat. If it were
a rain umbrella, there might seem to be
an excuse for the gutter" in which to
catch the drips.
Another noticeable fancy black and
white parasol has the stripes running YER
tically on a frame described as the
Minaret, which fashion motif it resembles.
The sides are in panels joining the top
at a sharp angle. In fact there is
double roof on the inside frame. Black
marabout borders this fancy accessory.
Shirred net or lace covers combined
with ribbon are noticed among the dainty

dress are graceful and very becoming.
For a dark silk dress, or a light one the
same idea can be carried out with the pat
tern for this useful wooden dress. plain
and lowered material may be combined
splendidly in the same design also. The
shops are featuring plain poplins, with
novelty ones of the same color ground
having printed flower designs on them.
One or both tunics are made of the fancy,
and the blouse trimming In wash ma
terials, one tunic might be of lowered
and the other of plain. The three-quarter
sleeve is seen on many new dresses and
separate waists; while the full length
sleeve is so much in evidence, that we can
only conclude both are correct In all
probability, the shorter sleeves will OBJ
tain for midsummer.
Apropos of sleeves, the latest long silk
gloves are flesh color, to give the effect
of none on the arm. This follows the
Paris fad for flesh colored stockings with
almost any kind of shoe or slipper.
The serni-tailored dress, so indispen-
sable in the practical wardrobe, has not
been forgotten amid the fancy creations
for the opening displays. Here is smart
dress (S1S9) for morning, shopping,
travelling or outing. Just a little fullness
in the skirt is held in by plaits at the
foot, and near the belt, giving the effect
of some fashionable breadths across the
hips, and making the skirt comfortable to
sit in. The blouse is severely plain ex-
cept for vest of soft white crepe de
Chine, turning over in a wide collar. The
cuffs match, and have an odd and inter-
esting fastening of frogs on cord loops,
in lieu of ordinary round buttons The
model selected to show here as a type of
simple gown easy to make, and very in
expensive, is made of a black and white
wool ratine, costing $1.50 per yard. The
vest is white; and the cording either side
of it, and on the skirt is black MORE silk.
The girdle is MORE also and to complete
the chic effect, trim little turban is worn
with this gown, being of black Milan with
a MORE crown; and trimmed with fancy
ostrich aigrette.
The price of this and of each of the other
patterns for illustrations described is 10
cents.

1900 Simple Border for Summer Fabrics

d ATINES and crepes in silk or cot
AA ton have open meshes which make
embroidery a very simple and suitable
sort of decoration. Handwork that is fash
ionable to-day on dresses and blouses is
largely made up of motifs or borders done
with long stitches, French knots, and
coarse floss. Two easy designs are shown
above No. 1870 is conventional pat
tern that will be found very effective on
white or colored linen and equally adapt
able for the decoration of ratine and
cotton crepes. 1t is two inches wide.
The clover leaf petals, or only the round
dot in the middle might introduce a
color.
For children's dresses, a coat collar and
for blouses, pattern No. 14600 is very
pretty and quickly done. Two shades of
floss or cotton, with a thread of black or
contrasting color around the dot will
be pleasing on wooden or cotton materials.
Each pattern comes in three yard strips,
ready for stamping. The price is 10 cents.

still different and more dressy bag.

Poiret is said to have passed the comment
that American women dress too sombre.
The charge will be denied, when the gay
and gorgeous loom fabrics designed for
spring and summer gowns are actually
on the wearers. On the one hand, there
are wondrous designs in rich taffeta silks,
soft satins, moir6s, and printed ratines,
and on the other, dainty Powered, striped
and checked wash materials, fascinating
for summer frocks. The latter are eff
fective without being very intricate in the
making. Manufacturers have chosen
models which can be made with compare
lively little work ; and this fact will appeal
to those who want the same styles, and
yet will make their own dresses. There
are many interesting simple gowns and
coats among the importers arrivals from
French opening displays. A group of this
class has been chosen and photographed
for this page, to show leading style
