Women and Gowns

And now the women Ct America
are up against it.
They must design their own gowns,
France is war-ridden and the mas
ters of fashion in Paris can no longer
supply the demand.
France has our sympathy in its
troubles, but we hail the day when
American women must depend upon
their own initiative in the matter Of
dres faIor when American women TN
dertake to do a thing IT IS DONE.
We have depended on Paris too
long.
We have accepted the hideous
creations that have been handed us
without a murmer, simply because
they bore the Frehch label.
This is an opportune time Tor the
women Of this country to use their
own brains, and use them to good
purpose. They need no coaching
from other countries.
It is safe to predict that when they
do begin the designing Of their gowns
we will have a revelation in the mat
ter Of feminine attire.
Common sense and decency will
return, and it will not be at the ex-
pense Of personal appearance or style.
The future gowns to be designed
by American women will be just as
stylish as any they have ever worn,
with the added advantage OF radidting
refinement and gentility.
American women are the most
beautiful on earth, are noted fol-
intellectual attainments, and are pos
sessed Of an ipdomitable spirit which
knows no failure.
The designing Of their own gowns
will be but an incident in their bril-
| liant careers, for even now the world il
prostrate al the feet Of American wo
manhood.

From the Douglas County Herald

Ny dear old soldier ir,end: Tom
Brown, the Republican nominee for
congress in this district, is a son of a
veteran highly respected and an esteem
ed and ayoung man Of sheer ability.
He is to his father what your son would
be to you. Would you support your
onw son for such position as this young
man seeks; would you risk your bust
ness in congress in your sons hands?
Would you expect your comrade 10 en-
trust his business in your own boys
hands would you not expect more aud
greater layors from the ties Of your
own family than you would from the
'Johnies' who shot you from the brush7

Joe, can you give a plausible reason
for giving him your vote at the APP
preaching general election2 The blood
in the heart Of a soldiers son beats
warm for the comrades Of his dear old
father. That is how J know Tom
Brown is a friend 10 you; not a blarney
ing politician by letter and word to
catch your vote, but friend indeed,
in blood and in love for the dear old

The love letters"you get which APP
peal so personally 10 you are nothing
more than stereotype copies, which are
sent 10 every old soldier, some OF
which Russell likely never sees, and
very few Of which he signs with his
own hand. Ask yourself this question;
what am I going TO do about it. Then
think a minute, and get together and

cations from your friend Joe. Then
ask yourself this question; II this

Tariff the Issue

The Missouri Republican in their
state platform put proper emphasis
on the tariff as national issue. 1t is
the great economic question on which
large majority Of American citizens
agree fn general principle. The pro-
tective system was the American
system under which American
industries we're bull, up in spite OF the
doubt and scorn Of theoretical free
traders who have paraded under
banners bearing such varied device:
OF tariff reierm as the idiosyncrasie'
Of their leaders have suggested from

Handed Over to Canada

The net result of the Underwood
Tariff is to force American shingle
manufacturers, in selldeleuse to re-
duce wages to the Oriental standard
maintained in British Columbia. We
are fairly successful in excluding
Oriental labor, but if We admit
its products free, our labor
must accept the choice between
Oriental wages and no job. An at
tempt was made by the Tariff reior-
mers to console it with the prospect OF
lower cost Of living, but any reduction
in that particular has been so small as
to be imperceptible.
Had the United States gained any
other point by admitting Canadian
lumber and shingles duty free, there
might be something to say for that
policy, but we have gained nothing.
We have literally handed over the
shingle industry 10 Canada without
receiving anything in exchange, -

American farmers hive had an incom-
parable home marke. for their pro-
ducts. The American laboring men
under it have been the best paid
workers in the world and their stan
dard Of living has been correspond
ingly high.
The Underwood tariff, instead OF be-
ing progressive is decidedly reaction
ary, 1t retreats from the first step
toward a scientific tariff by aboIishing
the tariff comission and turning the
making Of the schedule over to par
tisan House and senate committees,
with such direction as they may gel
from interested parties voluntarily
appearing before them and from the
intuition Of the executive. Instead Of
extending reciprocal relations under
which trade battles could be fought
with other countries having tariffs, the
Underwood act suuenders everything
and gets only what other nations find
it solely to their interest TO concede
The Underwood tariff, prior TO the
time when shipping derangment shut
off all imports for a season, had proven
failure. Not only it had caused wide
spread industrial depression, throwing
hundreds OF thousands Of laborers out
employment, but it had failed to pro-
duce adequate revenue, owing to its
large free list. II spite OF the laying
Of gTa iuated income tax in time oil
profound peace, the government was
facing a treasury deficit when the
European war came to obscure the
the fiscal condition and afford a pre-
text for extraordinary increase Of in
ternal taxes. But the Underwood tariff
was in normal operation long enough
to demonstrate that it is a typical
Democratic tariff, such as each gen
Grafton Of voters must suffer for their
folly.
The Missouri Republicans likewise
did we'll to point out Democratic
insincerity as 10 caucus rule, gag rule
Of the House, executive usurpations,
extravagant appropriations, the merit
system, Panama Canal tolls and similar
matters. In State matters the Dem
ocrats may be justly charged with a
like difference between promise and
performance. The Republicans did
we'll to emphasize the course Of the
Democratic party on home rule as a
signal illustration Of the fact that the
Democratic party Of Missouri has
destroyed its right to expect its plat
form promise to be given serious con-
sideration by the voters Of the state.
There are abundant reasons why every
Republican should 90 to the polls in
November and support the Repub'
lican ticket. 1t should be born in
mind that this is not an ordinary off
year." A United States senator is to
be elected for a term OF six years and
he will be chosen by direct vote Of
the people, without any opportunity
for a gerymandered Legislature to
veto their choice. Globe Democrat.

A Kick, a Wink and a Bray

A Democratic convention refusing
to indorsc the work Of a Democratic
legislative body, makes a record
which would be called unique in any,
other party. Since the Baltimore
convention indorsed the work Of the
Democratic House at Washington in
passing the Panama Canal act, and a
Democratic administration, seeking
to repudiate both the Democratic
convention and the Democratic con
gress, polled the delegates and found
that only l2S Of them knew what they
we're voting about when the indorse
ment of the Democratic Congress was
made, it may have been decided that
indorsing anything Democratic
Legislative body does is dangerous.
Anyhow, the Missousi State Democrat
ic Convention, in session yesterday at
Jefferson City, resisted all efforts to
move it to an Endorsement OF the St.
Louis homerule measure passed al
the late session Of the Missouri Assem-
oily, signed by Gov, Major and now in
suspension as the result Of reieren'
dunn petition, originated and circu'
lated by Democratic oiIiceholders who
will be thrown out Of soft jobs if the
law ever goes into effect.
The history Of this strange case
makes one Of the most remarkable
records in the history Of politics.
There is in it an element Of sardonic
humor which would make it amusing
but for its exhibition OF the facility
with which hungry and thirsty pa.ri-

The Amendments

vote at the coming election was 10
day issued by Secretary Of State
Cornelius Roach. Those wishing to
vote intelligently on Amendment
Number Three should preserve this
article. The sole purpose in giving
these arguments is in no way respon-
sibles for assertions made on either
side Of any subject discussed.
The champions for amendment No.
3 give the following reasons why the
measure should be favored:
The money that comes iuto the
State road fund, as large as the State
Of Missouri is, is so small, taking into
consideration the large amount oI
mileage and the fact that the counties
do not assess heavy tax for road
purposes, that it is necessary that
some method be devised for the es-
tablishing Of fund for the building oI
good road system such as State as
large as Missouri should have to be in
line with other States that are now
establishing fine road systems.
Our people are very progressive and
more enthusiastic, in fact, than good
judgment will often permit. The
putting up otpersonal funds by a few
people for the benefit Of many is not
Just. Road building should be done
By taking a small amount from each
one Of a very large number Of people,
and this is what will be done if Con-
stitutional Amendment No. 3 is adopt
ed, as by this method no one escapes
paying his pittance. This small
amount from SO large a number will
create fund that will make it pos
sible for our State to establish a fine
road system.
Those opposed to the adoption Of
Amendment No. set forth the follow
ing reasons why this measure should
be voted down:
This amendment should be voted
down because it proposes 10 raise the
State tax rate from l9 cents to %
cents on the hundred dollars assessed
valuation and because the principle Of
State aid ior ali local purposes is
wrong. Why go to the expense CT
collecting funds everywhere, send
ing it to state officers at the capital
and then having them apportion
what is left back to the counties from
which it came after paying officers
commissions Whatever the State
gives mus; be taken from the people
before the State can have anything to
give. The people will lose their self.
reliance, the greatest power for their
own good that they have, il they are
taught to believe some outside factor
will make their public improvments
for them. II people want improved
roads, lei them build them with funds
raised by the local authorities, instead
OF by a State wide levy. It is a
question, anyhow, whether better
transportation facilities have not
brought more misery than blessings to
this country. Unalloyed happiness is
oiteIer found in the deyth Of the in
accessible woods than in the novels
that line the paved streets Of the city.
