War Tax to Be Continued.

The Simmons Underwood tariff law
failed to produce sufficient revenue to
pay the running expenses of the gov
eminent. The income tax added to the
revenue from the Simmons Under
wood tariff law left the total still in
sufficient. Economy in expenditures
might have bridged the gap, but in
stead of cutting down expenditures.
the Democratic congresses increased
them last year by s3O.OO0.000. That
left no option but new tax which
was passed as a temporary expedient
to tide the government over a lean
year. Now it appears that this new
tax is to be re-enacted.
And the reason for the imposition
of these extra taxes, the income tax
and the war tax, which isn't war tax
at all, is found in the fact that the
Simmons-Underwoo6 bill in addition
to being a genera disturber of bust
ness was fiat failure as a revenue
producer. -Watertown IN. " Stand

FITTING Up THE BATHROOM
Some of the Requisites That Must
Find Place in the Modern
Establishment.

lii the days of the old tin tub almost
anything in the way of towel was
good enough, so long as it was free
from holes. The advent of sanitary
plumbing, the white enamel tub and
basin, the tile or tile-effect walls and
the nickel and glass fixtures have
made the up-to-date bathroom a differ
ent proposition. For instance, utility
is no longer the sole standard by
which the bathroom linens are judged
They must also harmonic with the
enamel and glass fittings. AS a result
housewives now buy their towels in
sets in white, with an initial or mono
gram in color. Many towel sets are
bought in plain or fancy material with
out monogram. which is worked by
the housewife herself.
Bathroom sets of terry cloth are
composed of two bath towels, a bath
mat, and two face cloths. all with a
plain or fancy border and an initial or
monogram.
jacquard figured bath towels are
new and attractive. They have deep
pink or blue border and the hem is
daintily embroidered in color. The
edge is finished with a deep border or
crochet of white and color. Turkish
and buck towels are almost always
embroidered in color and finished with
a scalloped or crocheted edge.

What free suaar WII Mean.

The Democrats will have a hard
time explaining that schedule in the
tariff law which places sugar in the
free list next year." said Frank A.
Singer of New Orleans. Down our
way we believe there will be action
by the next congress to restore the
duty on sugar. Some idea of the OPP
Grafton of the new sugar schedule may
be had by statement of the govern
ment figures under the Underwood
law. These show that from March
l, 1914, when the reduced rate went
into effect, up to March 1, 1915, the
revenue was $49, $4,000. For the
same period, If the duty on sugar had
not been reduced, there would have
been revenues amounting to 6S,0O0,-
900, difference of practically $751;
100000. The refund for which the
government is responsible under a
decision of the court of appeals, five
per cent ON all goods coming in over
seas, at this rate would be $1S,000,000
If sugar goes on the free list May L,
1915, as contemplated by the Under
wood law, there viii be an annual
loss of duty OF S6S,000,OOO.
Notwithstanding the reduction in
duty and the contem plated placing of
sugar on the free list, the price of
sugar has gone from s4.70 in June,
1913 to S5.12 this year"

cREToNMEs IN THE SUMMER
BY Careful Selection, the House-sts
May Make Her Rooms Things
Of Beauty.

It seems ages since the serviceable
and smart cretonnes were introduced
for hangings, coverings for furniture
and cushions. etc. yet it still holds Its
place among the newest or goods
shown for these purposes. Porch fur

chairs for use on the summer piazzas
are covered and. going further, large
armchairs and low rockers for the liv-
ing room are TO be upholstered in this
same good-wearing fabric
But, of course. designs have changed
somewhat; colors are brilliant, as
usual. but among the newest are those
with birds OF gorgeous plumage on a
background Of black. Indeed, brilliant
applies to most OF the new cretonnes;
they are vivid and still launder per-
fectly. making them an excellent
choice for the hot suns of summer
days.
The frill or founce across the top
of windows is still liked, only now it
should be cut narrow and lifted lit
tie directly in the center, with side
draperies of the goods. The sides of
these frills are little longer than last
year, and variation liked is to catch
the fullness in cluster of three or four
tiny tucks or folds about three or four
inches apart, not pressing them fiat.
but allowing them to stand out. Also
the bottom of the frill, where caught

A caution is to use plain paper or
paper with small figures where a room
is to be fitted out in gay cretonne;
huge or startling designs will only
cause discord.

countrx,a Great Need.

Under the Underwood tariff the bust
ness of the country has gone back, and
the demand now is to go back, not to
the rates and schedules of the Payne
revision. but to the principle upon
which that was founded. So-called
progressivism in the Democratic par
ty has failed, and the failure is in
uring to the benefit of the rejected
Republicanism. Forward-looking legis-
lation having sent us backward, legis-
lation repudiated as backward is now
to be summoned to send US forward.

cessity of Placing the Government
In the Hands Of Capable
Statesmen.

Representative-elect Charles r. Tim
beTiake OF Sterling will be the only
Republican member of the Colorado
delegation in TIA next house, but that
is one better for the Republicans
than the present representation. Mr..
Undertake was elected to succeed
Representative Seldomridge.
1t doesn't make any difference
about what we did in the congression-
al elections" says Mr.. Timberlake.
Colorado next year will be found in
the Republican column without the
shadow of a doubt. II is true the
Democrats elected three members of
the house and United States sena-
tor, but there were local conditions
that had large influence. The fact
that the state is Republican is shown
by the election of every state officer
save one, the state senate and house
In my Judgment, we shall turn the
Democrats completely out of power
next year. There is dissatisfaction
among the people due to disapproval
OF the state and national administra-
tons. We in Colorado have no pa
thence with the policies advocated and
pushed by the administration in Wash
ington. Free sugar does not set well.
nor does the attitude of the admin
istration in its foreign policy, and its
general economic program. Had it
not been for unusual conditions there
is no doubt Colorado would have elect
ed a Republican United States sena-
tor last November. Business in the
state has not been good. but it is inn
proving some. The state once more
has assumed sovereignty in the labor
troubles. and believe we shall set
tie this matter soon. In most of the
mining districts where there were
strikes operations have been resumed,
and there is every prospect that the
mining industry will get busy again
soon"

that John Stanley be possessed of

MORGAN CITY MAY BE

Morgan City, La, Sept. 30
Morgan City passed safely
through one Of the worst storms
since 1889. A wind that attained
a velocity of eighty-five miles at
intervals, began blowing Tuesday
night shortly after II O'Clock and
continued throughout Wednesday
until midnight Damage that will
probably total 100000 has been
wrought in Morgan City, Ber-
wick and vicinity. Steamboats,
were sunk and gas boats were
crushed as though built of
"papier machie.' The storm
broke from a northeasterly direc-
ton and the wind held that place
throughout the twenty-six hours
duration.
The steamers Sugarland, Sabilla
and Vincent d are among the
most important vessels that were
lost.
Small houses about the city
were shaken from their founda-
tion and occupants were. taken
from the houses to the city hall,
seeking shelter. The city power
plant also furnished a haven for
those who were being made home
