ment in the store.
AS the season advances the demand
is getting stronger for the larger Hat
Shape. These you will find among
our new shapes, which we have had
coming in in the last two weeks.
As the Hat Shapes begin to get
little larger the tendency seems to
be more for the Colored Shapes, such
as Greens, Browns and Blues. These
seem to be very strong in matching
up suits and coats.
This has been an unusually large
millinery season, owing to everything
being Black. 1t has been hard to
work over the old shape and then at
the very low prices that you have to
pay for a good Hat there is nothing
gained in using the old hat,

PRESIDENT WILSON
A LOCAL 0PTIONIST

President Wilson is in favor of local
option on the liquor question, and does
not believe prohibition should be made
part of n party program. Since the
order Of Secretary Daniels was issued
prohibiting the use of liquors by Off
GERS in the navy, persons in position
to obtain the Presidents views have
learned that he still stands by his let
ter written in May, 1911, while gov
ernor Of New Jersey, to the Rev. Thos.
B. Shannon, of Newark, N. j., in
which he said:
81 am in favor of local option. |
am n thorough believer in local self
government, and believe that every
self-governing community which con-
stitutes n social unit should have the
right to control the matter of the reg
ulation or-the Withholding Of licenses.
"But the questions involved are so
cial and moral and are not susceptible
of being made parts Of party pro-
gram. Whenever they nave been
made the subject matter of party con-
tests, they have cut the lines of party
organization and party action atnwart
to the utter confusion of political ac-
ton in every other field. They have
thrown every other question, however
important, into the background and
have made constructive party action
impossible for long years together. So
far as I am myself concerned, there
fore, can never consent to have the
question of local option made an issue
of great question which is essential
ly non-political, non-partisan, moral
and social in its nature'-Washingi
ton Post.

The Democratic legislative program
bill, the trade commission bill, and the
includes the passage of the antitrust
bill to limit the issue Of corporation
stocks and bonds, and the appropriu-
ton bills. 1t is thought that the pro-
gram can be completed early in July.
The Naval Appropriation made by
the House aggregated about $llO0OO,-
900. Elensley Of Missouri and others
made a gallant fight for economy, or
at least expenditure for an efficient
defensive navy, rather than big cost

we'll directed efforts resulted in reduc-
ing the total nearly two million dol
lars in the House.
Nearly every state in the union
maintains an organization at the Ma
tional Capitol For nearly twenty
years Missdurians in Washington
have had what they call "The Missou-
ri Society" for entertainment and so.
ciul enjoyment. Meetings are held
monthly from November until May.
At these meetings n musical and lit
crary program is given and an ad-
dress delivered. A banquet is given
in mid-winter, theatre benefit in the
spring, and an old fashioned basket
picnic in the summer. All of these
are enjoyed to the fullest by the mem
bcrs.
Nearly all Of the Missouri Con
gressmen hold membership in the So
cicty. Several Of them, notably Lloyd
Russell and Rubcy, find time to take
part in nearly all its activities. Rubey
served the past year as First Vice
President, and Russell was unani-
mously elected President Saturday
night He was nominated by Tom
Rubey who told briefly Of his quail
fcations and his service, and voiced
the esteem in which he is held by the
entire membership. Russell is
prime favorite among Missourians
residing in Washington. His popu-
larity, however, is not confined to the
citizens of the home state, but ex-
tends to the limits of his acquaint-
ance. His selection ms President of
the Society is high honor worthily
bestowed. There is no doubt that his
administration of its affairs will fully
Justify his election, as his services in
Congress REFLECT credit upon the con-
stituency he represents.
Senator William j. Stone than
whom there is no ADLER in the Senate,
has been back at his post Of duty for
about month, after somewhat SER
ious illness. He looks well and says
he feels well except for weakness in
one of his lower limbs. He is still
using crutches, but hopes to be able
to discard them in short time. Since
returning he has taken an active part
in the deliberations Of the Senate and
is welding a potent inuence in the
shaping of the actions of that body.
OF course, Missourians would expect
this. Two weeks ago he discussed the
tolls repeal bill in away that attract
ed much attention. 1t was said to be
the most forceful, logical and con-
vincing speech heard upon the sub.
ject. 1t was delivered with all the
vigor and eloquence of which he is
capable. AT the close Vice Presideni
