Editorial Opinion
THE KNOCKERS CREED.

l believe that nothing is
right. l believe that every thing
is wrong. 1 believe that l alone
have the right idea. The town
is wrong, the editor is wrong,
the teachers are wrong, the peo-
pie are wrong, the things they
are doing are wrong and they
are doing them in the wrong
way anyhow. l believe 1 could
fix things if they would let me.
If they don't 1 will get a lot of
other fellows like myself and we
will have a law passed to make
others do things the way WE
want them done.
l do not believe that the town
ought to grow. It is too big
now. 1 believe in fighting
every public improvement and
in spelling everybody,s pleas
ure. 1 am always to the front
in opposing things and never
yet have l advanced an idea or
supported a movement that would
make people happier or add, to
the pleasure of man, woman or
child. l am opposed to fun
and am happiest at funeral.
believe in starting reforms that
will take the Joy out of life.
It's sad world and am glad
of it. Amen

ToRPEpoINe AMERICAN CITIZENS

For one nations warship to torpedo another
nations merchant is what International law
terms IAN of war" That is, it is hostile
which requires apology and reparatioa if the
tions are to continue their friendly relations.
All the ntricacies and bubbles OF diplomatic ar
gument cannot obscure the fact that Germany COM
mitted such an offense when German submarine
attacked the American merchantmen Gulfira off
Scilly Islands. without warning, wrecking the ship
and killing til ee Americans.
The policy of the United States with regarG to
such matters was established defnits by President
Wilson in his reply to the German warzone pr,cla
nation OF Feb. He said:
IF the commanders of German vessels of war
should act Iron presumption that flag of the
United States was not being used in good faith and
should destroy on the high seas American vessel
or the lives OF American citizens, it would diff
cult Tor the government United States to view
the act in other light than irdefensible viola
ion neutral rights which it would very hard
to reconcile with the friendly relations
happily existing between the two governments.
IF such a deplorable situation should arise the
imperial German government readily appreciate
that the government of the United States would be
constrained to hold the imperial German govern
ment to strict accountability of such their
naval authorities and take any steps might be
essary take to safeguard American lives and prop
erty and to secure to American citizens the
joyment of their acknowledged rights the high
seas"
That declaration met the unanimous approval
the nation 1t represented the nations will then,
and represents it now. The government cannot re-
from the position taken. and the people
want it to retreat. +. s.x;s.

To pad the scalloped edge, either
work chain stitch between the lines

and narrower at the points, or apply
two or more strands over the center of

FASHION NOTES of INTEREST

HERE is very great tendency
toward binding the edges One
of the handsomest costumes is
made of broadcloth in one of the new
tans known as Panama color. The
edges Of the long faring tunic and the
jaunty coat are bound with brown silk
braid, and there is sash of the cloth
that is finished in the same way, passed
around the waist and knotted right
at the front.
Y /OUNG girls are wearing the
long-waisted Moyen Age effects
in soft gabardine and serge, and
sash of the same finishing the lower
edge of the basque is favorite trim
ming. Some Of the new sashes are
exceedingly long and most graceful.
They start at the back, are brought
around to the front, crossed, and car
ried again to the back where they are
knotted to fall in long ends. When
the material is wide and soft it girds the
hips quite after the manner of the deep
girdle or yoke, with soft, caressing
folds that are graceful and attractive.
JEWELS and jewel effects are con-
spicuous. The most wonderful
evening costumes and not infrequertly
the buttons for evening gowns are
made of real jewels appropriately set
for the purpose. There is great deal
Of gold and silver tissue to be used for
evening wear, and the gold and silver
embroideries are singularly beautiful
and effective.
\ RTIFICIAL garnitures are
~ smart for afternoon as we'll as
for evening wear. One of the
latest fancies is for flower of bright
color worn at the left Of the corsage
close up under the faring collar mid
way between the shoulder and the
point, where it unquestionably makes
a coquettish effect.
"peu necks continue to be the
rule, but new collars are high
and close at the back while
flaring and open atthe front.

The Military Idea.

It is rumored that all~ef the military
influence that is abroad will bring
about the simple, severe tailored cos
tune before many months. Whether
or not that prophecy will be verified
remains for the future to prove, but
that there are evidences in the half
fitting, loose coats that are finished
with mannish revers and lapels is
true beyond question, and those Of
us who study these things and are on
the outlook for straws have learned
that such indications are prophets Of
what is to come.
1t is probable that by the spring
the simpler tailored effect will have
gained successful vogue, but for the
moment the trimmed costume is
the accepted one. Fur collars and fur
trimming are shown in numberless
forms. They appear not alone upon
the jackets of the coat suits but also
on the long, loose coats that are
worn over entire gowns, and they
unquestionably make an interesting
feature of winter fashions.
