What Is Japanese.

We think OF the present clothes as
embodiments Of the Occident. There are
traces of the Orient-of course. We all
recognize them. And they simply bear
testimony to the fact that the Orient
has solved the problem of clothes as the
Occident never can solve it.
The influence OF Japan is always inter
esting. For strange as it seems the
dainty. finished prints OF Japan inspired
the men who developed the modern
method of impressionistic painting.
In clothes. no matter what other
sources We go TO. We always must bear
witness to the artistic perfection Of
Japanese art.
What else is our use of crepe today?
Do we not show. by using it. that we
recognize II as one OF the most prac-
ticabIe fabrics for general wear?
One OF the daintiest offerings of the
April shops is a parasol made of printed
japanese cotton crepe. II could be carried
with a crepe frock or with any other
light cotton. lace or silk frock. The
crepe is mounted on a metal frame. with
white tipped ribs The handle Is made
OF hand-carved bamboo.
The crepes used show all the conven-
tIonal Japanese designs-wistaria, chrys-
anthemums. birds. plum blossoms. 1t is
colored In lovely shades OF blue and gray
and tan and pink with much black and
white. as well. deftly used as the Japa
anese know how to use II.
Almost as attractive as these crepe
parasols are those made of figured jap
anese silk. The handle of these parasols
Is not carved. but is made OF highly
polished wood. The ground OF the silk is
always light. and the figures are vari-
colored.
A Season of Flowers.
It Is q season OF fowers-and fruits.
Fruit-trimmed evening frocks are a
novelty. Flowered silks are made into
charming afternoon and evening frocks.
and lowered silk Is used for waistcoats,
girdles, and hat trimming. Hats them
selves are laden with artificial flowers.

MATTHIAS SUCCUhBS

Ever since Matthias was brought

there has been but little hope of
his recovery, though aided by his
wonderful nerve and vitality he
made a gallant fight for life. His
head was beaten almost to a jelly

skull fractured in two and three

Mr.. HEARST'S CHANGE
FOR THE BETTER

Mr.. Hearst has left off assailing
President Wilson and begun abus-
ing the World. This is decidedly
a change for the better.
None of Mr.. Hearst's crack
Drained readers can assassinate the
World. But nobody knows when one
Of them might undertake to murder
the president of the United States.
Mr.. Hearst is playing with dyna-
mite when he deliberately infames
the passions of the sort of people
who read his newspapers.
They do not know that Mr..
Hearst is lying to them about the
president and the treaty and the
canal tolls issue. Doubtless thous-
ands of them actually take the
Hearst editorials and headlines lit
orally end believe that President
Wilson is a traitor who has sold
out" the United States.
So long as Mr.. Hearst confines
his mendacity and villiication to
the World, we have no fault to
find. He is at liberty to say any
thing about US he pleases. But he
must not charge the president of
the United States with treason"
He must not use language about
the chief executive of the nation
which carries an instigation to as
sassination.
We trust it will not be necessary
for the World to speak to Mr..
Hearst about this matter again.
He has had sufficient warning. Let
him remember "Elihu Roots speech
at Utica, when the then secretary
of state said:
II say by the presidents author
ity, that in penning these words
with the horror of President Nc
Kinley's murder fresh before him,
he had Mr.. Hearst specifically in
his mind.
And | say, BY his authority that
what he thought of Mr.. Hearst
then he thinks of Mr.. Hearst
now"

ed, yesterday brought suit in the
District Court against the Western
Pacific Railway company for $780,
900 damages and costs. Casey,
who was an engineer in the employ
of the company was killed by the

CINE ear Antelope station on

Reader and Brakeman James A.
Cosby were also killed by the same

was old, worn cut and in improper
repair and unfit for use.
The complaint sets forth that
the defects in the engine were
known to the defendant and that
the defendant also knew the water
to be unfit for use, but these facts
were moi within the knowledge of
James Casey, nCr was the explosion
due to his negligence. Wherefore

WASHOE INDIANS
BUCK At OATH

Sunday at Woodfords in Alpine
county, the Washoe Indians of that
section met in conclave. On the
ball grounds of the Woodford ball
club the Indians assembled and a
hundred ard twenty five bucks
were in the circle surrounded by
their squaws and children. The old
Indians held the inner circle and
led in the debate. The subject un.
der discussion was the recent move
of the government in the p~resenta-
ton of a flag to the Washoes which
is to be presented to them at Gard
nerVille on the coming Saturday.
The Indians are under the impress.
sion that they will also at that time
be called upon to swear allegiance
to the flag and to this they object.
One Of the old Indians said:
THE Washoe Indians have always
been friends OF the government and
have throughout the history Of the
tribe been the race upon which the
whites could depend. We have re-
ceived nothing from the govern
ment, while those Indians who par
ticipated in war against the whites
have had everything they wished.
Now at this late day we are asked
to assemble and swear to support a
flag which we have always consid-
cred as our own. Why should we
do sol Why does not the govern
mont call the whites together at
various places and ask them to sup
port the flag. 1t is al insult to
the Washoes and l do not believe
that my people will do so. We
have lived without the assistance
Of the government for a long num-
Der of years and have gotten along
pretty we'll and now we are better

sire and the conclusion drawn by

sailed out of Hampton Roads for

we are ready" there is a lesson for
the nation.
TIL" fact that the fleet is not
likely to be called upon to do any,
thing more dam erous then patrol
the Mexican coast does not in the
slightest degree diminish the value
of the declaration. II is simply
another of the rlain statements If
the ever ready condition Of the
American navy. As secretary of
the navy Daniel said it is another
declaration to nc added to the
splendid words Of the American
naval heroes"
1t would have hcon made if the
fleet had been ordered to meet a
powerful foe. II reflects not only
on the high path iotism Of The Amer
lean sailor, but the state Of abso-
lutte ~preparednr-i of the fleet.
Ready for any lind Of service in
any part Of the %orld. that is the
condition Of TIC American navy.
Really for any emergency and equal
to any danger, that is the copdi-
ton Of the Am lean sailor. rhe
sailor leaves pc I with sealed or
ders, bound he kaows not where,
to do he knows ut what. 1t makes
little difference. Whatever the duty
he is ready. and always he gives a
good account of himself.

and destroy it. On a mcouless

RURAL SERVICE NOT
 WAR ON MIDDLEMAN
|. s. Department of Agriculture Gives Out Statement Concerning
 New Depar slre.

Washington, March 6.--"The rural organization service is not Waging war upon the middlemen or any other class" declares the, department of agriculture today in a statement in answer to protests made by lmple- ment dealers and others who have gained the impression that the service is antagonistic to them.
 Ut is, however" adds the state ment, studying the whole problem of the purchasing of raw materials for farming, such as seed, fertilizers, implements, etc. If there are more economical methods of purchasing this equipment or of selling farm products than those now in vogue, it seems important that information re- garding these methods should be dis tributed."
 The rural organization service recently sent out number of people ] description of plan used by a farmer purchasing agency. As a re- suit, implement dealers apparently
