The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1914-09-07

No. $40 is kimona cut house dress,
with a straight, four.gOrcd skirt, elbow
sleeves and II square sailor collar. The
blouse closes surplicc fashion in the
front, and just n suggestion of fullncss
at the waistlnc is held in by broad
contrasting girdlc. One of the small
patterned crcpcs or voilcs, with the
collar, cuffs and girdlc of plain wolfe
would make cool little dress for
summer days. Pcrcnlc, chambray, or
gingham would be practical, if the dress
were intended strictly for morning
wear While this is an extremely
simple design, if made up in one of
the figured silks with collar, cuffs and
girdle of talrcta, it would be quite
drcssy enough for afternoon wear on
warm days. Small novelty buttons
could be used to close it to good effect.
Size 30 in this dress calls for 4 yards
of 3G.inch material. Pattern comes in
seven sizes, 81 to 46.
This is a Perfect Pattern.
BE sure to give right size, measuring
over the fullest part OF the bust for
dimensions.

Why Mr. Raymond has not publicly acknowledged
the support given him by TIE private State organ
ization privately financed that now goes under the
name of the "Anti-saoon League is due to the same
that has made the campaign of the league for
him secretive. Newark is not favorable place for
the advocacy of policies that threaten the rights and
liberties of the individual citizen Our city is too far
advanced in it's ideas to submit wholly to the intol
erance of the few
Mr.. Raymond in his campaign has been janus
faced. He has accepted the support of this State
league, and though he may deny that he has made
any pledges to the league its managers, there is
every evidence of understanding for never before
was the league active secretly in Newark politics,
as its large and busy headquarters and its corps of
workers show And this furtive work of the league
is all for Mr.. Raymond
1t is something unusual for State organization to
Interfere privately in municipal election. This
organization has been active for years in the
legislative districts and has done much lobbying at
Trenton at every session of the Legislature One of
the leagues lobbyists was ordered out of the Assembly
chamber as a nuisance The work done in the Assem-
bly, districts, however, open and aboveboard,
whereas in Newark it is conducted in secret and in
ways that the citizen must reprobate. Secret
methods in politics always held in contempt
But political candidate cannot openly face both
ways, and Mr. Raymond cannot privately give his
hand to intolerance to secure its support and then go
out on the stump and talk in general terms OF his
beraty. A reactionary never is liberal His ideas
naturally constipated
And lawyer and reactionary Mr. Raymond
is strict constructionst of the written law when 1t
affects human beings. The blue laws to him are laws
that must be enforced. The State organization that
Is giving to Mr. Raymond It's Jealous support makes
no mistake. 1t hardly needs any pledges He is the
man to inflct upon Newark the kind of rule that the
league is trying to force all the municipalities
of the Statethe rule that existed in the primitive
towns villages of New Jersey two hundred years
ago.

AN uNpURcHasaBLE WATER FRONTAGE.

The ownership of the great water frontage in
Newark bay owned by the city will not pass to any
railroad corporation private interest long as
Mayor Haussling is in office. 1t was hardly necessary
for Mr. Haussling make this declaration, for he has
been the most strenuous advocate of municipal dock
system from the beginning He could not prevail
against the deliberate inertia of Republican Board
of Works but his chance with the election of q
Democratic board to promote this great enterprise.
Propositions by private interests to buy Newark's
water frontage have been received. The Bush Ter
minal would have purchased Newarks water front
rights for $4,000 900, a fine investment for that
great corporation There will be other attempts to
get private possession and there is to believe
that much of the knocking of the meadow and harbor
Improvement has been done by parties in the interest
of corporations covetous of the property.
No offer of this kind Will be considered by Mayor
Haussling while he is in Office but It is to see
how attracvely 1t could be presented by reactionary
mayor and Board of Works to appeal to the selfish
ness of those people whose only idea of government
is embraced in a years tax rate

1t is a pretty venturesome thing
for the rector of Trinity Church to
say what the American people would
do under any circumstances. Let us
hope, at least, that he Is an Ameri-

Then, he is ipso facto pledged to

conditions, but also as to future
action, provided there is no overt

clergy especially should give the ex-

Why Man Owes a Debt TO Every Tree
That Grows.
The fact that quinine, rubber and
even a vegetable milk comes from
trees, is brought to mind in the an
! nouncement just reported that the
wood of certain trees, upon which
disease germs grow, can be made into
decoction which can be used as a
vaccination in place of the particular
bacterial and malignant moulds
which thrived upon the trees.
Next to the Tree of Life, says
Genesis, the Tree of knowledge grew

added. knowledge of good, bought
dear by knowing ill.,"
The Tree of Life was in the midst
of the garden of Eden, of which, If
Adam had plucked and eaten, he
would have lived forever and be-
queathed eternal life and health to
mankind. Out of the fertile ground
God caused to grow all trees of
noblest kind for sight, smell and
taste. In their midst stood the Tree
OF Life, high eminent, blooming and
full of ambrosial fruit of vegetable
gold. Yet Adam, as man does this
day, passed 1t by.
The European war or the war of
the nine nations is filled with modern
lessons OF passing by the Tree Of
Life" knowledge of the ways of
civilization, morality, place, SANTA
ton and good will are all available
for the warning nations. They all
know how to prevent bloodshed and

THE COST OF THE WAR.

Experts in statistics have been calculating the
financial cost of the European war; but the figures get
beyond them. They make approximate esti-
mate of the cost of maintaining the armies in the
field but how is the property loss to be calculated?
Professor Wolff, of Berlin, estimates daily cost
of $37, $780, 600 for maintaining the armies in the
field. and in three months this would amount to
$1,000 900 The figure is by means exagger-
ated. The cost greatly exceed 1t, but this would
be more than seven billions In year. The Berlin
professor only vaguely at the property loss
In destruction of enterprise and property In loss
of income and wages, the damage done far mounts
up in the billions and every day piles up this great
mountain of cost. But that Is not all. Every human
life sacrificed has its economic value. There no
definite figures of the number of men killed in the
war but the slaughter in Western and Eastern Europe
has been without precedent in war, and every dead
soldier peasant represents money loss to the
world, the aggregate being colossal

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Dear SIr-The speech Of the rector
of Trinity P. E. Church. Newark. as
printed In the Evening Star, has been
arousing criticism in certain quarters.
1t would seem that the Rev. Mr.. john
sons prediction as to what the United
states would do II the Germans won
the great war was in the nature of a
graeAitous slur. not only on German
aspirations. but on American COM
mon sense. fairness and neutrality.
7 The rector of Trinity Church evil
IDENTIFY does not realize the bearing
of the proverb, "Fools venture where
angels fear to tread" II the Germans
win--and things look very much that
way now--they must be guided and
aided by superhuman forces. That is
the expressed Judgment Of many mill
tary experts in this country and Eng
land. II that is true. then the Al
mighty would seem to be fighting on
Germany's side. And the prayers of
the Teutons are in no wise inferior
to those of the allies and their friends
in fervency and faith. Therefore, the
remarks OF The NV ASAhs SSAAaaScA'
come prefix close to blasphemy.
But why this everlasting Anglo
mania and trucking to British AFRO
rance and perfidy. Surely the Protes-
tant Episcopal Church in the U. s. A,
has no reason to be found guilty OF
the act, though within her folds are
a number of Anglomaniacs who give
frequent nauseating evidences Of kiss

authority. Her origin and liturgy are

universally said to be such. The Epis-
Ycopal liturgy and the conservation OF
