That there is crooked work going on in high

to escape after reading George Harvey's con-
vlncing exposure in the current North Ameri-
can Review OF what it is perhaps charitable to
call the disingenuous tactics Of the Secretary
OF the Navy. In his leading editorial in the
April issue of the Review, Colonel Harvey
makes it clear, by the citation of records and
the statement of indisputable facts, that Sc
cretary Daniels has persistenty misled the
Dl1bl IL.
Hence" he observes, "the term "a daniels.
now familiar throughout the Navy as synony-
nous with shorter and-if conceivable-an
uglier word"
Every schoolboy knows the axiom, 1.-THE
whole is equal to the sum of its parts" But
Mr.. Underwood evidently forgot his boyhood
training when he drew his renowned "competi-
tive" tariff bill. That measure provides for a
ten per cent duty on cattle, and let's in free all
the parts that make up cattle. The importer
of live COW must pay the ten per cent ad
valorem on Bossy, but the bones, hide, flesh,
hoofs, blood, horns, milk and hair of cows are
ON the free list. The same inconsistency exists
In certain provisions regarding machinery.
Some machines pay duty. but all of their parts
may be brought in free. Did Mr.. Underwood
regard cow steer as piece of machinery |

The Democratic national convention was sent
to St. Louis because Champ CLARK told the
committee it was necessary to do SO if Missouri
was to be saved to the Democratic party.
About a month ago Ex-Governor David R.
Francis was appointed Ambassador to Russia
because it was felt necessary to give Missouri
some added and special favor of federal pat
ronage if the State was to be saved for De-
mocracy. Now the Missourians are demand
ing that Gov. Major be nominated for Vice
President in order to "save" the State. 1t
surely does take heap of salvation" for
Missouri Democrats these days. But the fact
remains that Missouri cannot be Saved" The
Democracy down there is beyond salvation.
As in 1904 and 1908, Missouri will this year
give her electoral vote to Republican Presi-
dent-and in addition she will elect Republic
can State administration and Republican
United States Senator, together with such
other pickings congressman and the like, as
go with an overwhelming political victory.
The Republican members of Congress voted
solidly for the repeal of the free sugar clause.
The hearty cooperation which the Democrats
received from the opposition goes far to rebut
the charge of Democratic leaders that Repub-
licans favor prohibitive tariff wall around
this country. They favor adequate protection
to American industries, which brings with it a
plentiful supply of government revenues, COL
lected at the ports, and paid by the foreign
ers, and that is policy to which the Demo-
Gratis find themselves obliged to resort after
their pernicious legislation has depleted the
United States Treasury. In the case of the
sugar bill, no amendments were offered on the
Republican side, and no dilatory parliamentary
tactics were INDUCED in. This was not SO
much due to the fear that President Wilson
would again change his mind before the bill
passed, as it was to unanimous Republican ap-
proval of the measure. The celebrity with
which the bill was handed over to the Senate
is in striking contrast with the obstructive
tactics used by number of the Democrats,
who sought to defeat the measure

Spanish influence is no doubt respon-

feta fabrics, in colors SO dainty and folds
SO voluminous that they are Joy to the

For general wear these garments are
made up in black, which goes with any,
thing anywhere, but for wear with fussy
frocks no color is too delicate, and change
ables are to the fore again. Faille and
satin are used for long coats that cover
the costume where bit more warmth is
demanded, and trimmings of marabout
are favorites with these.

With the introduction of the Chinese

suggestions are prominent in hats and
parasols. The latter come in many rib
bed forms and are quite as apt to be
square as circular, and duplex rather
than single, as are many of the hats
with trimmings nestled under the over
hanging part. Chin straps and long ends
of ribbon or velvet, or tulle, hang from
the back of the hat or are disposed
about the throat at the whim of the
wearer, and many of these ends are
ornamented with small nosegays or other
devices.

SAXONY TO PURCHASE AND

A MOTHERS GIFT-THE BIBLE.

Remember love, who gave you this,
When other days shall come;
When she who had thy earliest kiss
Sleeps in the narrow home.
Remember, twas mother gave
The gift to one she'd die to save.
Thy mother sought a pledge of love,
The sholiest for her son,
And from the gifts of God above
She chose this holy one
She chose for her beloved boy.
The source of light and life and Joy
| bid thee keep the gift, that when
The parting hour shall come.
" e may have hope to meet again
In an eternal home.
The precious faith in this shall be
Sweet incense to my memory.
And should the scoffer in his pride
Laugh that fond faith to scorn.
And bid thee cast the pledge aside
That thou from youth hast borne,
bid thee pause and ask thy breast
If he or l have loved thee best.
A mothers blessing on her son
Goes with this holy thing;
The heart that you'd enjoy the one
Must to the other cling. n,
Remember, It's no idle toy
A mothers gift, my darling boy.

LONG LEGS ARE NOT

This will not always hold true,
