fM O ONE disputes the supremacy of N the American-made shoe, it's shapeliness and style have won it an undisputed place as the most excel , lent of all footwear. There is no country, not even France, that has won such results.
 { The progressiveness and originality of American makers of footwear have :, been encouraged by a receptive pub lie, which has been educated to the point of being exacting. Women, ! especially, demand so much in the matter of style in their shoes that those who lead in manufacturing have placed before them this season what might be called confections in foot wear.
 The shoes of today are distinguished by little odd touches of style in meth ods of cutting the leather, and in com binations of leather with cloth and the adoption of two colors in the com position of the shoe.
 Three pairs of high boots are shown here which illustrate these individual touches and set forth the kind of shoes that are correct for present wear. As Fashion has decreed very short skirts for the street, women are likely to grow more and more partic- ular as to the appearance of their feet.
 A pretty boot, called the Ritz, is made with a patent leather vamp and gray or fawn-colored cloth top. The front is stayed with tan leather, and at the back the patent leather ex- tends in shaped stay almost to the

Secretary I. W. Masters of the Pro. hibition state committee makes out a good case against the Progressives by charging them with inconsistency in adopting national prohibition plank while not pledging themselves to state prohibition. Their plank, as he says, embraces a political territory over which this years candidates would have no jurisdiction if elect, cd" And Prof. Alfred H. Evans, the Prohibition candidate for governor, goes still furthe1 and accuses the Progressives of larceny of nearly all the Prohibition party's blanks. The Prohibition party managers are high. ly indignant over this attempt of the Progressives to capture their organi
 zation and annex it to the Bull Moose party, and if the opinions of the lead. CTS are shared by the rank and file the scheme will prove a dismal fail ure.-Springfeld Union (Rep.).

The DIsapprovers,

In denouncing President Wilson's act in withdrawing American troops from Vera Cruz, Sir Lionel Garden, former British minister to Mexico, does not speak for himself alone. He also voices the sentiments of T.. Roosevelt, Victoriano Huerta and w. R. Hearst.
 It is some slight counterpoise to this heavy load of displeasure that the aforesaid policy, the evacuation of Vera Cruz included, has the support of about 99 per cent of the people of the United States.

Palamas for the Destitute,

Hoboes cared for next winter at the municipal lodging houses in St, Louis will wear pajamas, if the plan of Di- rector of Public Welfare Tolkacx are successful.
 The pajamas will not be fancy and will not contain ribbons and elaborate trimmings, but they will be service able. The night garments probably will be made of material similar to that used for overalls and jumpers.
 The purpose of the pajamas equip ment is to provide the lodgers with coverings during the night, while their. clothing is being sterilized. The cots used are of steel, and no bed clothing is furnished.

BudQet Reform.

It Is reported that in view of the deficit and the necessity for strict economy President Wilson is seriously considering taking up the suggestion of budget committee advocated by MT. Taft during his term. Point is given to this idea just now by the showing that the appropriations in charge of the appropriations commit tee have been cut to $27.000,000 less than the department estimates, where as the appropriations handled by the various other committees exceed tho estimates by nearly $10.000,000.

top of the boot. Fawn-colored guar ters are the most popular in style fol dressy street wear. The Spanish heel of leather harmonizes with the re mainder of the boot in character. The boots with fawn or gray tops are worn with all the fashionable colors in street gowns.
 A smart boot with cloth top cut to look like a gai.er is made in fawn color with black. It is fastened with small pearl buttons and provided with leather Spanish heel. Exquisite finish in stitching is part of all the new shoes.
 A model called the French boot re- sembles the Ritz, but is higher and laces up the front. It has a short vamp of patent leather and leather Louis heel. The facing edges are faced back with strip of the patent leather, making a showy and elegant design
 A good, sensible boot, made for durability, is shown with slight exten. sion sole and Cuban heel It is smart in cut and plain in finish, with stay at the back extending to within an inch of the top. Vici kid, calf, and other feathers make this all-leather model a reliable investment. For all kinds of weather and all kinds of roads 1t is the best choice. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

This Council Will feel the loss OF

hard 20 fill their places. The retire
ment OF able men from office must be
matter OF deep regret. We shall need
able men to run this government. The
time Is coming. in my opinion. when
we will look forward 10 a scheme of
government more economical than that
TO which we are drifting, and we shall
need good men TO guide us"
The speaker referred TO the spirit
OF cooperation that exists between the
Council and the various commercial
organizations OF the city. There was

mony between the city government and
these bodies. he said. and the strong
community interest that binds them
