KEEP IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD

well-known fashion editor of that pub
LEGATION, says:
From the extreme new French
modes we are sure to get many telling
suggestions which will give a special
chic to our own new gowns. That's
why we all want to know the very
latest news of the very, very newest
French fashions; but there are few of
US, after all, who want to copy the
new French styles in their entirety.
So I want to reiterate again my old
word of advice: Keep to the middle
course in style. 1t is the safest and
the most satisfactory in the end"

New Tariff Not Satisfactory.

Our German and English friends
have not been slow to take advantage
of the Democratic tariff law. Facto-
ries in both countries are speeding
up to the limit in turning out goods
for American consumption. Most OF
the foreign manufacturers realize that
possibly the present tariff law will
not last. and they want to get as
much benefit from it as possible
Meantime, our own people are begin
ming to feel the disastrous results.
The voters in cities and country are
already realizing that low tariff has
not brought them cheaper food. while
1t has had the effect of throwing many
persons out of employment or caus-
ing them to work on half time. There
Is little doubt that the next congress
will show Republican gains.

G. or. POWERSH0WN'
Silly Assertion That Republican
Party Is Dead"
Recent Events In South Dakota and
California Encouraging to the Be-
IIsvers In and Supporters Of
Good Government.

After the defeat OF the Republican
party In 1912 and the large vote polled
by the Progressives, It became a ia
vorite habit In many quarters TO say:
"The Republican party is dead" That
habit has persisted, especially among
Progressive politicians, who seek to
draw support to their own party from
the Republicans by this continued as
sertion.
Unfortunately for the people who
like TO hug this delusion to their
breasts. the Republican party does not
seem to know that 1t is dead. Like
Mark Twain, 1t insists upon regarding
the report of its death as grossly ex-
aggerated, and stubbornly betrays sat
isfactory proofs of vitality.
For instance. there is the primary
contest in South Dakota, just con-
cluded. 1t resulted In the nomination
OF Congressman Charles p. Burke, Q
stalwart Republican. for United States
senator by a comfortable majority
over Senator Coe l. Crawford. the
Progressive Republican" candidate.
1t was a victory for Republicanism
over hyphenated Republicanism. and
an important one, for the Dakotas are
supposed to be strongholds Of PRO
gressiveism."
Then consider the registration in
California, state where the Pro
gressive leaders would not even per-
NIT a real Republican ticket to be
placed in the field in 1912, SO firmly
intrenched were they in control of the
political machinery. Recent reports
Of registration for primary elections
show 522,970 voters thus far enrolled,
Of whom 20S, ,026 gave their politics as
Republican" without any qualifica-
tion whatsoever. while 41,744 gave no
political af1liation. That is. there
are almost as many Republicans en-
rolled as Democrats and Progressives
combined. and several populous Re
publican strongholds have not yet reg
istered.
Verify, the Republican party is de-
cidedly lively corpse"

He felt that there might be no limit to

II the apples were ripe. Henrietta's
own spirits were rising. One never
realized what liberty was until one
threw aside onventionality-not hon
or, but conventionality, the silly, fool
ish laws of senseless ages. Billy as
usual laughed at every remark, while
the general, the tramp and the finan-
cier grew fairly brilliant beneath the
spur OF two pretty women's laughing
eyes.
The Watermelon, in his silk socks,
his soft panama and fine linen. was
too much In the habit OF taking fate
as he found It. without wonder or pro-
test. to marvel now at his change of
fortune or to be disturbed or embar-
rassed at the unexpected society in
which he found himself. Between him
and Bartlett was only the difference
OF a few millions. both lived by their
wits, and II one preferred to walk
while the other rode. It was merely a
matter OF choice-no sign of inferior
ity between man and man.

The Watermelon leaned back wear

diently from the car with his usual
imperturbability. Calmly and willing
ly he scaled the stone wall and set of
across the field with his captor Tom
thoughtfully examined his gun, one
eye on the motor-cars.
The generals desire to explain was
superseded by still greater desire to
get away. The grim faces Of the two
men impressed him with the gravity
OF the event. II they were to escape,
now was the time, when the forces OF
the enemy were divided, but there was
his car. He could not leave that be-
hind and the man In the road was a
fairly good reason for him to remain
where he was and make no attempt to
reach II. Bachelor had put up clever
bluff, but 1t had been called, and they
had to sit there until the return of the
other man, when they would be ex-
posed, for Of course the key wouldn't
fit That second man was stubborn
brute. The Lord had made mules. He
didn't intend men to be.
Henrietta repressed a wild wish to
scream aloud. Never. never again
would she go into another mans
house unless expressly asked to do so
by the owner. She glanced behind. up
the hill, toward the house. Alphonse
and his captor had just come into sight
again and were returning through the
field. Henrietta breathed heavily. This
was awful. When the two reached the
stone wall, she hoped she would faint.
0She knew she wouldn't, she never
tainted She turned around that she
might not see them. Nothing could be
done, apparently. but simply wait for
the hand Of the law to fall upon them.
She looked at Billy. Billy was frozen
dumb. This was the end.

and spoke to Henrietta THAT was a
