Who Is Looney Now7

Governor Haines, of Maine, makes a mistake when he says in his public addresses: "The foreign policy of this administration has made us the laughing stock of the whole world. The whole thing would be humorous were it not so intensely pathetic and tragic"
 Three months ago that would have teen all right. It is not all right now. and it will not appeal to one thinking man of any party. President Wilson mapped out certain line of procedure during the Mexican crisis. It sue ceeded If it had failed, criticism would have been in order, but without plunging the country into disastrous war the president accomplished his p.rrose.
 Governor Haines does not say that our foreign policy is the laughing stock of Europe, but that was said only a few months ago. Europe is not laughing much nowadays. Our for eign policy has marked elements of su- periority over that which has blos- somed into European war. We com mend to Governor Haines this recent statement by the London News on the subject of diplomacy: The example of the United States must hereafter become the model of the civilized world Boston Journal.

CHANGE THAT WAS NEEDED
Amendment to Clayton Law Neees- sary to Correct Measure or
 Grave injustice.

The senate adopted without division an amendment to the Clayton anti- trust bill which will deprive patentees of the sweeping powers put into their hands by the decision in the mimeo- graph case. The amendment makes it illegal y"to insert condition in any contract relating to the sale or lease of or license to use" any. patented ar ticle or process. the effect of which will be to put such restrictions on the purchaser, lessee, or licensee as would require him to acquire rom the seller, lessor or licenser, or his nominees, any article or class Of ar ticles not protected by the patent"
 This covers the particular point in- volved in the mimeograph case. It follows the opinion of Chief Justice White, who wrote the opinion for the dissenting judges, stating what in his opinion the law was. but in view of the majority opinion he felt 1t fmpera- tive it should be enacted by specihc legislation The language of the opin- ion was stronger than usual in 1u- dicial opinions, but hardly more so than the question warranted.
 The stretching of authority granted by a patent to cover the trade in ar ticles subsidiary to it's use asserts a vicious principle and can be used to sustain grave injustice.

\ COMBINATION automobile and "A street hat is soft, close-fitting affair, made of one of the fashionable lightweight fur plushes, which are like ly to be much used in millinery. These plushes are more silky and more pli- able than ever before, and they are the last word in the manufacture of this fabric. Some of them are marvel ous limitations of natural furs. Others are new and rather eccentric patterns in combinations of color, and are frankly plush without an attempt to initiate anything. Others still may be described as conventionalized copies of the markings in natural furs
 The small turban shown in the pie ture is made of plush which combines suggestion of broad tail and ermine.

HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT
ROAD DRAG BoTHERING MANY
Implement Cannot Be Used to Advan tage Except When Ground Is
 In Right Condition.

The road drag Is giving the public, the politicians and the county super visors a world of trouble, troubling them, we sometimes think, more than the drag itself, troubles the roads, It is such foolishly simple thing. SO cheap and SO easily made, that the average man off the farm, and not a few on the farm. are prone to think: Can there any good thing come out of such Nazareth?
 It seems to be impossible by any legislation that has been enacted, to induce farmers generally to use the drag. The townsmen with automo- piles soundly belabor the farmers for not using 1t, and sometimes hound the farmers along these automobile roads into using it when it is a damage in- stead of benefit.
 The inherent difficulty in using the drag and making legislation effective is this, that the drag cannot be used to advantage except when the ground is in the right condition, says writer in Wallace's Farmer. It is of no use at all when the ground Is very dry, and often a damage. There is but one way that we see of making 1t thoroughly practical and that is for the farmer himself, who knows when 1t has rained and when the roads should be dragged, to get out and use 1t on the road alongside his own farm. Occasionally we hear of county SUI. pervisor who calls up his neighbors by telephone, and tells them that now is the time to drag the roads, and per suades them to do it, with wonder fully good results. But 1t does not al ways rain over the whole of super visor's district at the same time.
 We shall have to depend on dirt roads in the corn belt for a long time to come. Not altogether; for we shall have some gravel and brick and ce- ment roads on the main travelled thor. oughfares; but nine-tenths of the roads must be dirt, and must be kept in shape by use of the drag.
 A few weeks ago we travelled along road admirably adapted to dragging and at the crossroads was road ma chine costing large sum of money. It was evidently managed by a man who had no faith in the drag. and who had been spending the peoples money in digging up the side of the road and putting the sod on the middle of 1t. as though sod would make a good road. Vegetable matter is fine thing In the corn field, but you cannot pos sibly make a good road until you get

with a snap fastener at the other end. By means of this the strap is fas' tened to the coronet. A third strap, across the front, supports a single, standing loop made of fancy weave in white plush. This loop terminates in a square end which is provided with a snap fastener. By means Of this fastening the veil can be held on the face, or the veil may be taken on and the trimming fastened down to the brim. Two views of the turban, pictured here, make plain this method of using the snap fastener on hat which must do duty as street hat and for automobiling.
 The long chiffon veil has stood the test of time as the most practical accessory of the autoists' wardrobe. It is well to choose it in a washable quality and color. If carefully handled, chiffon stands washing very we'll,
 For a long journey the hat pictured here, designed for the cool days of autumn and for winter, will be found very comfortable. Added to this fine attribute, it possesses the charm oi novelty in material and smart style in design.

CLOSER TO RANK AND FILE
President Wilson's "Unbendins" VIII Adds to His Popularity With
 the People.

What might be called the human izing of President Wilson goes on apace. When he first walked over the fresh from purely intellectual fields and there was in his speech and bear ing the slight chill of the academic ati mosphere. While the common man looked upon him with that respect due a wonderful thinking machine the re- spect was mingled with awe. In Wood row Wilson he failed to recognize plain Tommy Wilson, in other years Princeton's popular football coach Thirty-five years of academic pursuits ending in the presidency of Princeton was training so unusual for an American political leader that the na- tion felt little embarrassed and awk- ward in the presence of its polished president. When he spoke it was In periods so chaste that their very ex- cellence overwhelmed the man in the street.
 Gradually the president has been breaking down the wall between him. self and the rank and file. He has felt the warmth of contact with men of all ranks and has responded with counterglow that reveals itself In speech and bearing. In a letter to Rep resentative Doremus explaining his h. ability to take the stump in the fall campaign the president falls into the easy language of the people in a way that shows the progress of his unpeno- ing.

inventor of the Alrbrake.

Who really invented the airbrake? Certainly the automatic airbrake, the one that has proved practicable and of permanent value in modern railroad ing, was the product of the late George Westinghouse ingenuity. His patent for the automatic brake was taken out in 1872, superseding the non-automatic or straight" Westinghouse airbrake patented in 1869, and later the West inghouse vacuum brake was invented. But as in the case of most other in- ventions. there are several claimants for originality in this field Thus Mime. M. Drouanet, daughter of M. Debruges of Paris, claims the distinc- tion of priority for her father. The New York Times has letter from State Senator William P. Ffero of White Plains containing a patent office declaration by his grandfather, Henry Miller of new and useful improve ment in the application of steam and compressed air to the purpose of op- erating railroad brakes" recorded Jan uary 2, 1855. MT. Miller was doubt less pioneer in the progress of air brake invention.

After our young lady has passed sweet six teen, and up to the time that her school days are finished, fine discrimina- ton must be exercised in selecting her clothes.
 Two favorites in the world of vel vet hats designed for misses are pie tured here.

Why the Need for More Revenue.

The Republicans will make nothing whatever by representing the supple mentary revenue bill as a means of covering up the inadequacy of the Underwood tariff. The figures for the fical year ending June 30 have been published, and the contraction of GUS, toms revenue was less, than was an ticipated. If imports should fall of heavily during the next few months it could not be attributed to Demo cratic reduction of the tariff. Repub- licans themselves are growing over the war as something even better than one of their tariff laws as an obstacle to trade. The Republicans are in no position to complain if the revenue should fall of heavily because importation was checked.

THEIR GUNS SP|KED|
Republicans Left Without a Real
 Issue.
Prospect of Victory In the Next Pres idential Election Has Become So Remote as to Be Practically
 Non-Existent.

Not only has the war of the nine nations changed the prospect of Re publican victory into a prospect of Democratic victory, but it has effected radical change in the issues on which the campaign of 1914 will have to be fought. All the most promising of the Republican issues have been shot away at Belgrade, Lemberg and Liege. Some weeks ago they were joyously and arrogantly on the offen- sive. Now they are on the defensive, at feast to the extent that they are having hard time explaining why they are making a fight.
 Up to the time of the ultimatum to Servia it was obvious that the chief count in the indictment of the Wilson administration would be it's foreign policy. The ablest of it's opponents, Colonel Roosevelt foreshadowed this he returned from South America, and the lesser men in both the opposition parties made similar preparations. He displayed his unerring political in stinct when he was the first to aban- don this line of attack. He announced the moment the war broke out that it would be unpatriotic to attack the ad- ministration's foreign policy in time of stress, and none of the other anti administration spokesmen has had a word to say about it since.
 The second of the Republican issues was to have been the tariff, but the war has taken the powder out of that gun, too. As long as the war goes on it will be impossible to get an atten- tive ears to comlpaints that tarih re- vision is ruining the consumer and elevating the cost of living. Voters have sometimes shown an extraordi- nary credulity to arguments of this sort-in 1894 they were induced to be- lieye that a tariff not yet enacted had caused the panic of 1S93-but even a voter who might be induced to be Iieve that the tariff affected the weather would balk at believing that it affected war conditions. Se
 On the trust issue the Republicans never intended to make a very stren- uous fight, since most of their repre- sentatives in congress have been vot- ing for the administration trust pro- gram. With all their major issues de- molished inside month. they are re- duced to making campaign of gen. eral opposition without having single important thing to view with alarm. It is already evident that they will con- fine themselves chiefly to local issues in each state. There is nothing else for them to do. The Democratic, no longer on the defensive, are able to point to their record, ask what the Re publicans have to offer in place of It, and receive no reply. The war has not only changed the prospect of Dem ocratic defeat to a prospect Of Demo cratic victory; it has obliterated the issues on which Democratic defeat was assumed.

 Road.
 rid of 1t. Why, at great expense to the county and the township. invest in a road grader, and then spoil the road by putting all the rubbish into the middle of it?
 We don't believe we shall ever have good roads in Iowa until the farmer ia given charge of half the road along his line, and the owner of the adjoin- ing farm the other half, and is then persuaded to drag his half after every rain, assuming in the first place that it has been drained and graded. This will give us the best of roads when they are good It will not give us good roads all the year around There is a time of the year when dirt roads will poach up. That cannot be helped the better they are dragged at the proper time. the better they will be- come, and the less they will poach

The Progressives. says William Al len White, are playing waiting game As long as the Democrats are progres sive there is no chance for the Pro. gressive party. But he looks to see the party crumble when the patronage gives out, and thinks that then Demo cratic standpatters will begin to ap' pear, and with that the Progressive hopes for victory and not merely Re publican defeat will arise. This he puts off as far as 1920 if need be. It is a pretty program, but it is based on the theory that party for revenge can last as long as that
