Ayerting the threatened railway


strike which would have tied up
the nation, and the passage OF
bill in congress giving to railway
workers an eight-hour day begin
ming next January, are the actions
which have at last united the COM
mon people Of the nation for
Woodrow Wilson. The dividing
line has been clearly marked be-
tween those for and against this
measure-Wall street and the rail-
way owners and the republican
minority in congress on the one
side-and the working men, the
eight-hour day, the rights of the
shipping public and the Wilson
administration on the other.
The old guard of the republican
party in congress voted against
the eight-hour day, 26 of them in
the senate, headed by such men as
Smoot, Penrose, Oliver, Weeks,
Dupont and Jones, who have ever
been on the side of capital regard
less of the pleas of labor. The
democrats, 42 of them, stood with
the workingman and brought the
eight-hour day to the railway
workers. Senator Lafollette, the
Wisconsin progressive, voted with
the democrats.
President Wilson now has the
Wall street and railway financial
interests directly arrayed against
him. with plenty of money at their
disposal in an attempt to defeat
him for reelection. They feel that
he is their enemy and that he can
not be managed by them. The
workingmen of the nation on the
other hand now realize that their
president has knowingly arrayed
the Wall street interests against
him by taking a stand for the
working man. The result will be
money on one side, but the united
votes of the common people on the
other, for the progressive legisla-
ton of the past years is not for
gotten, and no panic can be sprung
by eastern banks to frighten the
workers again.
Some of the eastern states which
have been considered doubtful are
now marked as certain for Wilson,
especially in those states where the
factory employees constitute large
part of the vote.
Some republican papers have
ntimated that Wilson's s stand for
the workers was simply a political
move to gain votes. No doubt it
gained votes-but would Hughes
have done it? Would Taft have
done it? Would Penrose or SmoOt
or Weeks have done it, even for
votes? Answer that question,
and you have shown the reason for
Wall streets opposition to Wilson,
and for Wall streets support of
Hughes.

has achieved. Mr.. Rochford's

the democrats that Washington
may go for Wilson, and no effort
will be lacking to carry the Will
son policies to the people. The
certainty of this state vote in
the past has directed the attention
of the country's big men to other
states in campaign time, but this
year Washington is favored by re-
publicans and democrats, in view
of an alarming condition in the
ranks of the supposedly staked-
and-tied republican vote.
The break of the progressives
and their stand for Wilson has
been the large contributing cause,
and it is barely possible that Aber-
deem will go down into history as
the reason for the death of the old
party machine in Washington.

Candidate Hughes chief COM
| plant against the democratic
party is that President Wilson has
accomplished in three and one
half years what the republican ad-
ministration failed to do in the
preceding 20 years. The next
complaint is that the administra-
ton did not send the young men
of this country into Mexico to pro-
tect the steel and oil interests of
the east. The third complaint is
that Wilson did not threaten war
when Germany invaded Belgium
and when Germany sank the Lusi-
tania. With these things off his
mind, he finds the democratic
party guilty Of only few minor
defects, such as general incom-
Detence, mismanagement and
wastefulness. All of which Mr..
Hughes just happened to notice

From Ribbon.

You can make the smartest kind of
little tam from a very wide grosgrain
ribbon. A band of buckram to act as
a foundation is first covered with the
ribbon, and then the ribbon is folded
In half and plated In wide box plaits
to a central point at the top of the
crown. The plating is covered with
a motif Of wool flowers embroidered on
scrim. A chic bow of the ribbon is
tied and secured at one side.
You cannot imagine anything pref
tier than this tam. and, what is better
still, it lies within the power of any
clever girl to make one herself. II the
ribbon is not stiff enough to stand up
right after it has been attached to the
buckram band, it might be well to line
1t with layer of fat buckram, though
the soft effect Of the ribbon by itself
is preferable.

Fall STYLES For Children.

The question of fashion in garments
for the tots is largely one of becom-
ingness. But, of course, every item
of apparel planned for the small citi-
zen should wash.
Some of the smart little simple dress
es for children shown this fall are
plated from shoulder to hem; some
are in Russian blouse effect with plait-
ed skirts Suspended dresses with
washable waists and little frocks
equipped with washable guimpes are
also in favor.
Tub fabrics are unquestionably first
choice, or should be, for the very young
children. But plain and plaid serge
and velveteen dresses for girls of eight
to ten and twelve years are smart
For school wear bright colors and
cuffs are used on dark color frocks
and detachable collars and cuffs Of lin
en-, pique, ETC., are also used very ef
fectively on some of the school frocks

HOMEMADE NIGHTG0WNS.
Tips About the Newest Ways
of Making Such Robes.

The day when a homemade night
gown necessarily indicated weeks OF
hand embroidery or else few hours
stitching on stiff, thick muslin has
gone by. And now we can make a
nightgown in a few hours, with only
a saving touch of hand work, and yet
produce something that is charmingly
dainty.
Sheer materials, of course, which
are always used nowadays for night
gowns, have much to do with TINS
change The fact, too, that night
gown patterns now almost invariably
show short sleeves and open necks
also has much to do with their dain1-
ness.
The nightgown with an empire
waist line is a favorite just now. and
is deservedly so, for the long, full
lines of the skirt are most becoming.
Some sort of wide collar, too, is al
WAYS becoming, but it wrinkles very
easily in a nightgown. Reyeres at the
front are shown in some of the newer
patterns, and those give softness and
fulness and are not so easily wrinkled
as a collar. Much variety can be Civ
en- by the use of slashed and putfed
sleeves, and the use of cuffs OF various
sorts Is also worth trying.
Batiste is a very good material for
nightgowns, especially in colors. The
pale pink and blue shades of this ma
terial, which can be had for about ~
cents yard, are especially attractive.
Nainsook in a soft quality is also
good material. Figured dimity, too,
can be used, and this season much
figured cotton Grape of soft quality
and dainty design has been used for
pretty and durable nightgowns.
The use of much entire deux in the
seams of fine nightgowns is a dainty
touch, and especially in the night
gown which shows much hand work
Is this method of finishing seams advis-
able.
Hand embroidery can also be set
into a nightgown with entire deux. In
this way fine hand embroidered yokes
and panels can be used.
The rolled hem that is so much seen
nowadays-in handkerchiefs and fine
blouses-can be utilized in the night
gown. The hem is finely rolled and is
then whipped with thread of color,
first in one direction and then in the
other, forming a sort of cross stitch
finish.
A pretty finish for a white night
Gown Is a binding of colored bias folds
Of muslin. This folded bias finish can
be bought both in plain colors and in
stripes and plaids. Sleeves and neck
can both be bound in this way and a
band of the colored fold can be placed
at the line of an empire waist line. to
have ribbon run under it.
In the same manner chiffon or geor-
gette Grape underwear can be finished

LITTLE HILL MEN.

In the district of Erslev stands fine
farm which is known all over the
country as the Mound Garden" or, as
some would say, "Hill Garden" and
this is why it is so named.
Near the farm is a beautiful green
mound or hill in which dwell many
little Bergmen or Hill people.
When the farmhouse was built Jon,
the farmer, wanted for his garden
some fresh green sod. So, going to the
Mound, he carefully cut the green
sward from It and carried it to his
farm yard.
In the evening joins wife, Thyra,
went to the kitchen to light the lamp
and prepare supper, but to her great
surprise she could not enter.
'aThis is very stranger she thought.
"The place seems crowded. can't find
room even across the threshold"
Thyra began to feel frightened and
called loudly for her husband:
Jon, Jon, come quick; cannot get
into our own kitchen"
Jon came at once. You must be
out Of your mind" he said. "Why
don't you make light?

swered Thyra.
'1'n go and do it." announced the
farmer.
But, 10, when Jon tried to enter the
kitchen he found it so crowded that
he could not enter either, push as he
might.
"Who is here? Who is here crowding
up my kitchen" he demanded. In
mediately there was chorus of re-
plies.

the Moundr'
"And what do you want in our
Kitchen" cried Jon.
"You have taken the roof off our
home; all the greensward has been cut
away; so we others have come to
your Kitchen was the reply.

said Jon.

"And now it is raining hard and the

So the farmer and his wife allowed

Practical Hints About How to Perform
This Household Rite.
To find the necessary coverings on
sweeping days has often sent the maid
scurrying about for old aprons, sheets,
towels and anything else she could lay
her hands on to use for this purpose.
One housewife has solved the difti-
Guilty In this way: She purchased
quantity of gray cambria and made
from it a large sheet, with which to
cover the beds and sidebOard. Smaller
covers for dreSsers and toilet tables
were made, and still others in suitable
shapes were designed to put over
lamps, mantels and the like. She also
made from the cambria bag to keep
the covers in. This was hung In the
broom closet.
While light, the cambria formed a
perfect protection against dust, and
simple shaking when the sweeping
was finished freed the covers from all
dust that had settled upon them, SO
that they required washing but once a
month. The use of these dust covers
saved much valuable time and extra
work. The cost of such set Is mod
crate, and it does not take long to
make them.
