Woodrow Wilson and 1916

The Washington correspondent Of
the Sun is authority for the assertion
that the opposition within the Demo
cratic party to the denomination of
President Wilson appears to be crys-
talliZing around Champ Clark"
This may be true, but we doubt II
Champ Clark regards such support as
tattering or important. We doubt
still further whether he Is ambitious
TO play James q. Blaine TO Woodrow
Wilson's Benjamin Harrison. The role
would hardly appeal to him.
After all. who compose this opposi-
ton TO the presidents denomination?
Murphy and Tammany hall. OF course.
William r Hearst. OF course. The
Democratic job-mongers In the United
States senate, perhaps. Southern
Democrats like Cole Blease, OF South
Carolina; Vardaman, or Mississippi.
and Colquitt, OF Texas, whose opposi-
tion Is a compliment TO a real Demo
crat. What do they all amount 10 In
the councils OF the Democratic party
How many delegates can they send TO
the next Democratic national conven-
ton?
Whether President Wilson is re-
nominated or not depends upon him
self. II he wants a denomination. the
opposition will prove as weak and fu.
tile as the opposition TO Cleveland. II
he refuses a denomination, the party
will be beaten in advance OF the cleo
tion, for he Is the only candidate II
can possibly elect.
Ii is not the president but the Dem
octatic party that Is on trial. The
president has proved that he measures
up TO the full qualifications OF his
great Office; but the Democratic party
has yet to prove that II is fit TO gov
ern.
That a factional fight should have
been started against the president in
congress may be taken as a matter OF
course. That Is a Democratic way.
Since Andrew Jackson's day, no Dem
ocratic president has been able to
count on the loyalty Of Democrats In
congress. No matter what the policies
OF q Democratic administration may
be, a certain number OF Democratic
members of congress, actuated by mo
tives OF greed or revenge, can always
be counted on TO try TO cut the throat
OF Democratic president.
The revolt against President Wilson
within the Democratic party has had
the immediate effect OF uniting and
stimulating the Republican opposition
/ II may be able to defeat the admins
tration's program of legislation. II
may disgust the country totally with
the Democratic party and give the Re
publicans walkover in 1916.
But one thing is certain. II Demo
Gratis are incapable OF giving honest
support TO a president like Woodrow
Wilson. he is the last Democratic pres
ident that this political generation is
likely to see, and the Democratic party
will revert to its former position as a
mere party Of opposition.-New York

The result is that during the win

This dryness of the air causes irri-

SHEER TUNIC FOR EVENING
Garment Worn Over Tight Satin or
Silk Skirt May Be Made Most
Attractive.

For long time there has been no
more attractive a fashion for evening
than the full, sheer tunic over a tight
satin or silk skirt.
Fashion allows much latitude in re-
gard to these tunics. At present it is
permissible to have them of almost
any length from the knee to the length
of the skirt; or two or three circular
founces of the chiffon or lace may
take the place of the single overdress.
One or all Of them are charmingly
graceful over a color or all white for
the young girl, who looks better in
lacy effects than in the plain satin
gowns she has been affecting Of late
in imitation of the bride.
The sheer overdress, whether of
lace, net or chiffon, must flare. A
charming method of achieving this is
by holding the filmy stuff out by
banding of satin, fur or swansdowns.
The latter Is charming on a knee
length tunic of white chiffon over
very pale pink or blue messaline.
Sometimes the chiffon tunic half
covers an under flounce of gold lace.

the box are smoothly covered with thin
silk on which some pretty little floral
design of the nature shown has been
embroidered.
The material is turned over the edge
of the box and underneath and fas-
tened on with strong adhesive The
edge of the box is finished of with q
fine silk cord and this completes the
upper part of the holder.
The base consists of circular piece
of stiff cardboard covered on both
sides with some of the same silk that
has been used for the upper part This
is done by cutting out two pieces of
material Of the same shape but just
a trif1e larger than the card and plac-
ing one piece on either side of it and
sewing the edges together, which are
afterwards finished off with silk cord
and the box placed in the center OF
the card and securely fastened to 1t

paper on which the matches may be
struck is glued on to the holder, where
indicated in the illustration.
