the new extremely wide ribbons
sold in the shops at once suggest
this, as they are often ornamented
by narrow ribbons in a decorative
design. merely stitched on at either
side. and the whole sold by the
yard.
Do not glance disparagingly at
an odd length of embossed crepe,
cotton velour or cotton corduroy.
Everywhere are girdles OF these
heavy wcaves to be seen on sheer
wolfe frocks; and given one-half

made to serve a number Of frocks.
Suggests the Basque.
One of these made i'll loose. wide
folds, with a two-inch pleating Of
the same encircling its entire length
at each side, would give the desired
swathcd hip lines to somewhat
passe costume. Adorned with but
tons down the front in straight
row, and worn we'll down over the
hips, it would suggest the now IA
miliar basque treatment.
This effect would be heightened
by similar row of buttons con-
tinuins up the front of the frock,
but the use Of such grdle is by no
means limited to any one type Of
costume.
Speaking of the basque, which is
having such pronounced influence
upon the position of the fashionable
waistline, there is an ingenious way
by which to give any frock this
lowered outline.

Sandwich Basket.

For sandwiches. nothing is nicer
than a bamboo basket, made 50 that
a plate Of about eight and a halt
inches may be used in it. Larger
baskets are also convenient. a
plate that would be most effective IS
OF Chinese green and gold medal
ions. These plates may be had N
different sizes to fit the baskets.
The large plates cost % Is, medium
size 81 and small ones 81 IS. The
large bamboo baskets sell Tor 80
cents, medium size 70 cents and
small ones 90 cents. They are very
charming and effective.

MiSSiSsippi'S Next Governor.

1t is a mar who is known for his hon.
esty and integrity that we want for our
next governor, instead of one of those
fellows who must be ''vindicated.' We
feel certain that the voters of the state
can be depended upon to place the right
mar in the g~ubernatorial office at the
next election. -Woodville Republican.
Amen, to the sentiment expressed by
the Republican. We certainly do want
a mani rec from taints of any kind; and,
kind reader, to make a long story short,
the Gazette right now will put you on
to the mar who fills that bill perfectly
the Hon. H. M. Quin, speaker of the
house in the last legislature. And
cleanliness is not his only qualification
either; he is a man of the people and
for the people; he is progressive, fair
minded, patriotic, faithful, intellec-
tually strong, a statesman, a gentleman
and a scholar. Of all the names that
have been mentioned for governor,
Gum if far superior to any. The people
can do no better thing than make
Hilrie NJ. Quin their next chief execu-
tive. Kinds County Gazette.
And there are some that have
as yet been barely mentioned" or not
mentioned at all, that are as good as
the best. There is no use in beginning
the contest so early. But if it is going
to be ''Bilbo against the field" why
not unite on the strongest candidate
from 1.-THE field and let it be q fair
fight and sincere expression from the
people between Mr.. Bilbo and that rep
resentative. There is plenty of time
to consider. -Brookhaven Ledger.

PRESS COMMENTS.
Mississippi Politics as Viewed by the
Editors Over the State.

There is something peculiar in the
odor of the political atmosphere. What
does it portend? What is the underly-
ing cause that ~actuates so many Yard
NANTES to put themselves against one
another for governor? Is the object
of this simultaneous thu eat of a%nnounc-
ing in the interest of publication or is
it a concurrent understanding among
the self-appointed leaders to so divide
the vote of the state as to make the
election of Bilbo impossible? Here is
Blakeslee from the north, Stennis from
the east, Quinn from the southeast
and Riley from the southwest all offer
ing themselves as willing sacrifices up
the altar of duty. The scheme is well
planned, but what of it should it mis-
carry? Should Biloo beat the whole
bunch in the first primary, what then?
Who Ear foretell what would happen to
them in the future? Are they not in
viting political humiliation? What
guarantee has been given that the
''coWmon causers" will support either
n of them? Why not come out in the
open and Bilbo and make the
issue Bilbo as Vardaman was made
the issue in 1911? The great mass of
the people will not be hoodwinked by
such transparent tactics. Again if it
is thought that any considerable vote
will be taken from Bilbo by trotting
geographical favorites the leaders
of the Vardaman faction are more OBJ
fuse than astute. Crystal Springs Me-
teor.

We have three wise statesmen in
Washington in the persons of Sisson,
Stephens and Witherspoon who set
themselves up as wiser than all the
powers that be in Washington. They
are authority on international law and
know exactly how to keep our govern
ment out of war with Mexico but for
some reason best known to themselves
kept their knowledge and advice
until after the first blood was shed and
then they poke their heads up and say
the President, ninety-fve per cent of
congress and nearly 100 per cent of the
people are all wrong on this Mexican
question. -Neshoba Democrat.

Asks for Help to Keep out Out of
Penitentiarv,

Theo. G.. Bilbo has issued an appeal
for money to aid in his defense of a
charge preferred by the state that he
has betrayed the trust imposed in him
by the people. This is rather a pecu-
liar condition. An official asking his
constituency for assistance in fighting
them, and that, too, when accused Of
having betrayed their interests.
Bilbo continues to cry that it is i'm
possible for him to receive a fair trial.
The same thing applies anywhere else
in the state. A change of venue could
be had, but Bilbo evidently doubts if a
trial to his liking could be secured any
where within the confines of Mississippi
for a fair trial from Bilbo's standpoint,
and a fair trial from the standpoint OF
disinterested parties are two entirely
different and separate things which
have no relation one with the other.
Mr.. Bilbo made his boast that he
would u Gov. Brewer out of polite:
and said nothing about the assistance
of the people of the state being needed
Today he is asking those people whom
he SO arrogantly assigned a place a:
mere pawns for assistance to kee,
from going to the p~enitentiary whert
~ wi NSAy iuSh iS OCiOiSS, ~
be it rendered that MIR. Bilbo has 81
far failed to explain what interest al
Lieutenant Governor of Mississippi ant
a resident of a county in South-Eas
Mississippi he could have possibly hat
in the creation of a new county in tn,
extreme western section of the state
He was not their representative in tn
Legislature and by rights should no
have eXerted his influence one way O
the other in a fight which he SHOULD
have had no interest. Whether he re
ceived money for this interest or not il
a secondary consideration with us, tn,
fact remains, and he has confessed it
that he did betray the confidence of thu
people who elected him, and as such il
unworthy of the support of any either
of the state. -Senatoba Democrat.
The Democrat was an ardent advocat,
of Vardaman in the last campaign ant

Judge Brien'S Sensible Course.

Without regard to the truth or the
falsity of charges that Bilbo and Bill.
bo's friends were attempting to preju.
dice the public mind against Judge
Brien when they asked for a change OF
venue from the Warren county court,
we believe Judge Brien's course in
granting the change will be commended
by the people of Mississippi without re-
gard to faction.
Judge Brien has effectually put. a
stop to any further attempts Of this
character being made, by granting the
request of Bilbo's attorneys for a
change of venue.
1t is to be hoped that the trial will
now go forward without delay and that
politics will be kept out of the case. -

The Guntown Hot Times has come
out for Ed Blakesle for governor. One
by one the papers of the state are COM
ing to the front and boosting him for
this high and important office and there
is not a man in the state that would
make a better one than he would. He
has already done much for the state
along agricultural lines, and we believe
if he could be elected governorhe would
be in a position to do more than he has
already accomplished. Doubtless if
there is a man in the state more ia
miliar with the wants and needs of the
people than Edd Blakeslee and if he de-
cides to make the race and is elected he
will enter upon the duties of the office
with a stock OF information that will be
of vast Importance to him in the adj
ministration of his official duties. This
city was his home for many years and
no man ever lived here who did more
for the u%pbuilding OF the town and sur
rounding country than he did. He was
always wide awake to every movement
that was calculated for the advance
ment of the town and his home county,
and If elected governor we believe
he will take the SAME interest in the
state that he took here, and do all in
his power for the upbuilding of her
interest. Union County Times.

D. 6. Hull Endorsed for Governor.

The Kilmichael Record endorses an
article in the Gulfport Herald COM
mending D. C.. Hull for governor as
follows:
1.-THE Record indorses the above in the
strongest terms. Having known him
personally, it can say that he stands at
the very top in his line of work, and as
a man he has few equals. Should he
be elected to the Office of governor he
will be 70 the government of Jackson
what President Wilson is to the one at
Washington"

A large field of g%ubernatorial candi-
dates is developing, and it now appears
that a concerted effort is being made
to defeat the aspirations of Mr.. Bilbo.
This eleventh hour discovery of Bilbo's
unworthiness by men who supported
his candidacy for lieutenant governor
three years ago, is consistent with the
seltishness of politics. Bilbo is as good
a mar now as he was when he ran for
lieutenant governor n was given more
than seventy thousand votes, and if he
a worthy of second place then he is
the logical mar for first place. -Fayette
Chronicle.

Hon. Hillrie Quinn, speaker of the
House of Representatives has made his
formal announcement for governor. He
says he will not start an active cam
paign until after the judicial elections.
Mr.. Quinn would make a good COVER

belonging to the majority faction in

fairness and dignity, winning the praise
of every member of that body as a fair

DOMINION LINE
 CUTS PRESS TOLL
Government Acts Quickly In Order That Public May Secure Con-
 piete War News.

The Canadian government has re- duced tbe tolls on press messages from Vancouver to Dawson to one half cent per word. The cut has been made in order that the residents of the northern territory would be en- abled to secure complete telegraphic accounts of the doings of the world and especially the European war news.
 The residents of Yukon are in tensely patriotic and demand full re- ports of the engagements in which British troops are taking part in France against Germany. The Yukon newspapers, like the Alaskan press. have heen under heavy expense in supplying the war news but have been getting splendid service. Many subscribers of the Dawson News, understanding the situation, offered to pay double the regular rate. The government has. acted quickly and has relived both the newspapers and their readers of the unnecessary heavy expense.
 Some time ago the Dominion line inaugurated a night letter service similar to that maintained by the private telegraph lines in the states, whereby message of fifty words could be sent at night for the same charge as a ten-word message dur ing the day. The service has been a boon to the merchants and oth- CTS having business in the north.

|. c. C.. FOR RATE INCREASE
Five of Seven Members Said to
Favor Railroads.

Philadelphia, May 16.-Five of the
seven members Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission favor an increase IN
the freight rates requested by the rail-
roads in the Eastern classification ter
ritory, and will so rule In the decision
which, it is expected, will be handed
down on May %. The average increase
to be granted will range from 3% to 4
per cent. The commissioners favoring
the increase are Clement. Clark, Har-
Ian, Hall and Daniels. The informa-
ton was obtained from exceptionally
reliable sources here tonight.
The comprehensive data submitted
to the commission by the railroads has
enabled them to give intelligent appli-
cation TO each commodity rate. The
commission, it is stated. will refuse 10
increase some rates, will reduce others.
and in some cases will allow the rail-
roads more than they have asked.
In railroad circles 1t has been con-
ceded for some time that the full 5 per
cent increase was improbable. The
general opinion has been that the car
riers would get some concessions, but
not all they wanted.

Prosecutors Wife Scars
Over Hudson River in
Hydroplane.
SHE DARTS ABOUT
AT MILE A MINUTE
District Attorney Intended to
Make Flight, but Was De-
tained at Office.

Mrs. Charles 8. Whitman, wife OF the
District Attorney, broke into the ranks
of aviatrices yesterday afternoon by
making a ten-minute flight over the
Hudson River In Thomas hydroplane.
The District Attorney also had in
tended going up" but was detained
at his office.
Mrs. Whitman's fight was made at
Dobbs Ferry, with Ralph NJ. Brown. an
aviator of long experience, as pilot.
Brown is the aviator who few over the
Polo Grounds on Saturday a week ago,
for which he drew three months sus-
pension from the Aero Club for violat-
ing the rules as to flying over cities.
For flying purposes Mrs. Whitman
donned a rubber coat, life preserver,
a pair of goggles and a cap. After
shaking hands with Aviator Brown
she stepped into the compartment at
the rear of the machine, took her place
at the right Of the aviator, and waved
goodby to her friends as the boat
skinned out over tne river
The fact that Mrs. Whitman intended
making an ascent was unannounced.
and only about one hundred persons,
mostly residents OF Dobbs Ferry, we-e
gathered on the shore. Few OF them.
aside from the friends who had come
from New York with her, knew who
she was.
Brown steered his machine north FOR
several hundred yards. meanwhile in
creasing the speed until 1t was shoot
ing over the water at about a mile
minute. He then made wide turn,
and the swells from a passing steamer
caused the delicate craft to rock and
pitch dangerously. The boat mounted
steadily until a height Of about loo
feet was reached, and this was main
tained until the descent.
Mrs. Whitman and the aviator trav-
elled about two miles down the river,
at times attaining a speed of seventy
miles an hour. The return trip was
made at even greater speed, and the
flying boat sailed high over the start
ing point, made wide turn and began
TO descend not far from the Jersey
side.
The landing was accomplished with
out jar and the boat sped over the
water to the landing place, where Mrs.
Whitman calmly disembarked and re-
ceived the congratulations Of her
friends.
TT was wonderful" she said. That
is the only thing l can say about It
except that I enjoyed it ever so much
The only thing l noticed was that the
trees looked funny from up there.
Yes, Mr.. Whitman wanted to come
and he certainly would have made an
ascent. But at the last minute he had
TO stay with those musty old records.
He never gets any pleasure any more. -

Galveston, Tex, May l6.-An Amer'-
can was in command OF the rebel neid
artillery which drove the Federals from
their positions at Tampico, according TO
Marvin Wood, an eyewitness OF the
final assault on the oil city, who ar

According to the statement OF WOOD

back into the city. The fire OF the pat
