NEEDS OF SOUTH AMERICA
Bank Funds or Credits Seem to Be
tho Things Most Urgently to
Be Desired.

Mr.. John Barrett's addresses
brought out the interesting point that
has been noted before, but not with
such prominence. that the chief trade
question in South America is not with
regard to purchasing manufactured
supplies. but with regard to the dis
position Of their products.
The United States can sympathize
with the South Americans in this
point. But II Is difficult to see how
they can be doing much more than
they have been doing. The United
States has been for years the chief
customer Of Brazil for coffee and Of
Cuba for sugar. Moreover, as South
Americas surplus is like our own
largely OF agricultural and food prod
ucts. II is quite probable that a mar.
ket can be found for them In Europe.
We might take q considerable share
OF South American cattle or dressed
beef.
The things most needed in South
America are bank funds or credits. Il
Is not clear that the United States
can furnish that out OF hand. But
certain leading banks are making q
start In that direction. II is not q
hazardous prediction that invest
ments in that direction will, II well
managed, prove decidedly profitable.

Absurd Attacks on the pr.,Id,r,


Senator Sherman's speech before
the Republican state convention must
have been written way back in the
forgotten days when Senators Fall
and Penrose were telling about Mex
lean outrages on American citizens.
He says:
The Democratic party declared in
1912 that the constitutional rights of
American citizens should protect them
on our borders and go with them
throughout the world. We compare
this campaign promise with the Demo
cratic performance. At no time in
the history OF our country have the
rights OF persons and property of
American citizens been more insecure
or hazardous than now"
In the last six weeks some fifty
thousand Americans, scattered all ovef
the field OF the worlds greatest war.
have been brought home under the
protection OF the American flag. with
out one single case of insult or in
jury.
Senator Sherman goes out OF his
way to attack the fine national leader
ship which the Democratic party haa
thus far given us during the war.
Senator Sherman ignores pointed1y
the kind of state leadership in the
Democratic party which is now a
vital menace to Illinois.

Colonel Shows Strategy.

Mr.. Roosevelt is swinging around

Davenport, his candidate for governor.
Mr.. Call, his candidate for state treas
urer, Is not in the party. This re-
leves the Only Honest Man and Sole
Patriot OF some embarrassment. His
principal object in making speeches
is to compass the defeat OF Mr.. Whit
man, and his main indictment of the
district attorney Is that he accepted
Tammany nomination, being al
ready the fusion candidate. This. in
the opinion OF Mr.. Roosevelt, put the
Tammany brand upon him. But Mr..
Call was chosen state treasurer by a
deal between the Democratic and Pro-
gressive members OF the legislature,
so that he bears the same brand that
Mr.. Whitman does. With mastery

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Convenient Cabinets.

For small spaces in the hall or bed
rooms very charming cabinets are now
shown for both men and women which
are marvels of convenience. The in.
teriors are especially designed for every
variety of garment and all sized ap-
parel.
They may be had in all sizes to fit
any space, and many people prefer
them to a built in closet, for they do
Dot cut off wall spaces from room
and are both hygienic and dustproof,
besides being a personal possession.
Another advantage to be considered
is they can be moved like any piece Of
furniture. They are well designed and
add rather than detract from the fur
nishing Of room. A stationary wash
stand, II not absolutely necessary,
should be abolished from bedroom.

WITH THE LINGERIE FROCK
Handkerchief Linen Scarf Completes
the Exceptional Daintiness Of
the Costume.

OF particular daintiness are the
handkerchief linen scarfs to be worn
with lingerie frocks. To make one OF
the pretty trifes, procure a strip Of
linen about two yards in length and
half or three-quarters of a yard
wide. Scallop the edges with the
aid of a spool or thimble and pencil,
pad them sparingly and buttonhole in
fine white mercerized twist. Embroid-
er the inside Of the scarf with any
flower or conventional design desired.
Forget-me-nots thiclsly scattered at the
scarf ends and trailing in thinner lines
along the sides are most effective. If
one hasn't stamping outfit, any pro-
fessional stamper will gladly follow in
structions. Eyelet work can be used,
giving the scarf a less solid and heavy
appearance. The work should be fin
ished with more than the usual neat
ness on the wrong side, as it will, of
course, be frequently exposed to view.
About the scalloped edge whip valen-
c1ennes lace an inch or an inch and
half wide. The flowers may be
worked in white or natural colors.
