COTTON AND GERMANS
AS CAMPAIGN ISSUES

Is making cotton an issue in another q
He stands on the record he made in intro
ducing and pressing his remarkable meas
ure last session, that looked to having tho
government take the cotton crop off the
hands Of the planters at 10 cents the pound
and hold it till 1t should bring tina price.
The plan never had a chance in congress-.
OF course; but 1t served the purpose OF
demonstrating how devoted a friend OF
the planter was Mr.. Henry.
All over the south there are congress-
men In trouble over the cotton question,
and Senator Hoke Smith. of Georgia, II
looked upon as the prophet OF all this dis
affection. He has been conducting a busy
propaganda OF opposition to the national
administration, insisting that this country
ough to compel the allies to open the seas
to American cotton. The effect Of this
propaganda. II it should have any at all.
would be to induce the administration, to
protest against the present mild measures
Of the allies, and force them to declare
cotton contraband. That would make the
situation very much worse: yet this u
try could not help itself.
Blind to Law and Precedent.
But all that makes no difference to the
men who see political advantage, or Inn
agine they see 1t, in fighting the fine old
ghost OF British domination" 1t re-
calls the good old lays when a lot Of
~ - NAAo SOAAANAy AAA NN~b
and some of them actually believed, that
Golden club gold" was financing every
effort for tariff revision.
These anti British extremists don't say
what they propose to do about 1t. None
Of them goes SO far as to say he would
have war with England: they merely de-
mand that our weak surrender to Eng
land" shall not continue. Needless to say.
also. they pay little attention to prece-
dents. International law, and the like.
They wave aside the laws of blockade and
contraband that were made by the gov
eminent in civil war times; which Is easy
enough, considering that the federal treat
ment of cotton in that period has never
been highly popularized in the south.
This wave of anti-British sentiment APP
peals to much the same elements that once
made the south populistic. 1t hits hardest
at the men now In congress-, who know
that their positions will compel them to
sustain the administration at least In a
reasonable attitude.
Some Men Have Courage.
Congressman Sims. who has announced
himself a candidate for senator in Tonnes
see. is iat-footedly supporting the adj
ministration, avowing hat cotton thus
far has Jared exceedingly we'll at the
hands of the allies. and roundly denounc-
ing people who take the Hoke Smith po-
sition.
1tuluS r1dTuy, veteran CoH6IcoSH'oi A1O!I
Texas. Is doing the same thing. A glib
young man who promises to save cotton
is already campaigning for the nomina-
ton In place of Hardy. He Is simply TAX
Ing the lid off with his attacks on the
administration and OF Hardy for sup.
porting it; and he is making real diff.
Guilty. for Hardy absolutely refuses t.
play the demagog. There are counties II
western Texas where the German vote II
an actual majority, and Texas is also frs
among cotton states.

Crepe de chine negligees are more
practical han they appear at first
sight. for crepe de chine washes well.
Especially in a good quality is 1t worth
while. So If o want a really lovely
negligee that will pay for its initial
cost and always be dainty, buy good
crepe de chine and have 1t made up
simply. Too much or. too cheap lace
de chine negligee. but with tucks and
shirring and q little substantial lace
it is a good investment.
1t is always possible to make negli-
gees out Of old afternoon or evening
frocks, IL these. are in light colors. And
a negligee SC made. ever If 1t is not
very practical. need not be considered
an extravaganza. For 1T utilities ma
terials that would otherwise be useless.
So silk or satin, ribbon or lace from
old frOcks that can be concocted into
a petticoat and matinee jacket or q
long gown may well be used in this
way.
One Of the most practical cotton neg
ligees Is made of dotted wolfe. This Is
better than dotted swiss. for the swiss
wrinkles readily and the wolfe does not.
1t can be had in a good quality at 80
cents a yard-and It is a yard wid So
it is reasonable. A little lace to trim

insertion let in above the hem. with a
ribbon girdle. make Of a dotted wolfe
negligee a really lovely garment.
Then there is the pink voile that Is 30
much used for underwear and night
gowns this summer. That. too. Is
charming for negligees. A pretty wrap
per or lounEing robe was made OF this
wolfe shocked with heavy white cotton
thread. Still another shows the wolfe
shirred over thick cords, n still an
other has no trimming. save a narrow
val edge used on the cuffs n collar.
Any Of the crepes. in cotton or silk,
are good for negligees. and n Of their
chief advantages is that they need no
ironing.
For cooler weather. which IL coming
doubtless before very long. q thin al
batross or cashmere makes . charming
negligee. Both Of these fabrics come
in charming shades OF blue. violet. and
pink and both wash very welt. are soft
and supple and durable.

Cotton is getting into politics. through
out the south, and making all manner OF
trouble for public men. D~enouncing Eng
land as the enemy of the south. and re-
Wiling the Wilson administration for fall
ure to twist the lions tail and compel 1T
to give a free sea to American cotton,
wherever destined, candidates for Senate
and House are springing up in many
states and districts. The issue is going
to be a telling one, and there are indica-
lions that a number Of congressional
careers will be sacrificed to it.
Whether this ~antagonism to the prcsi-
dent. in the particular section of country
where alone his party is certain of cleo
toral support. will have serious effects In
the p~re-convention campaign next year Is
yet uncertain. Everything depends on de-
velopments from this time forward.
AT the present time the outlook for any
instruction inside the presidents party is
not bright. To deny Mr.. Wilson a renom-
nation would be to admit that his admin
lstration, and therefore that of his party,
had been unsuccessful. hat admission
would turn all the argument over to the
opposition.
All these things are seen and recognized
clearly enough by the astute men in party
leadership. But this does not prevent am
bilious and irresponsible men in the cotton
section from making appeal to the preju-
dice that Is so easily aroused in parts of
the country where the effects of the war
have been unfortunate.
CoIquitt Campaign Dangerous.
Take Texas. in which the solid delega-
tlon of 40 cast its support for Wilson on
every ballot, first to last, in the Balti-
more convention. There are three candi-

Colquitt is a fighter and has a follow
ing. He has been a strong and persist.
ent opponent of prohibitions: and he finds
that. with some 10000 German votes ir
me state. there is a double appeal in his
opposition to the administration. Thu
Germans are against the administratio
because they think 1t has leaned toward

or to belligerents on either side. The Col
quit game is simply to hold the German
and anti-prohibition votes, and to add t,
them enough of this support that can b.
aroused by twisting the lions tail, to max
up a majority. Texas politicians who hav,
been In town lately. despite that the,

Mason City. Feb. 23.--t'ive thousand
dollars in cash looked a great deal
more inviting to Mrs. Mari Walsh than
did her signature to notes aggregating
nearly a half million dollars. From
evidence offered yesterday afternoon in
the ColbyW hearing 1t was plainly
evident that Mrs. Walsh has positively
no knowledge of the amount of notes
she has issued. When Mr.. Colby went
- her for accommodation notes he re-
ceived them freely. And up until yes
terday it was thought that the mort
cages given by her only covered about
600 acres of her land. valued at about
$3.50 000. Now, il appears, the credi-
tors committee have mortgages on
ESQ acres that would have value Of
s256.00o.
Mrs. Walsh said that when she was
told that she might be sent TO Chero-
kee that she was frightened and was
frightened yet. She had received some
presents from those she had favored by
signing notes. Direct examination OF
Mrs. Walsh was concluded at o'clock
yesterday afternoon and she is now in
the hands of the bankers attorneys.
Quite number OF alienists are here
to testify in the case tending to show
that both Mrs. Walsh and her soE
William, VINO was the executor of the
estate, were mentally incapable. The
balance of the term Will be consumed
in this hearing.
