cess to cover scar or blemish on her
neck.
These dainty articles of apparel We're
considered a tremendous extravaganza
when they were first introduced into
England for they could not be worn
after washing. England knew nothing
Of the art of starching and the starch
ed muslin was imported from the con-
tinent.
Later some clever person, on the
lookout FOR new vocation, took les
sons in starching. and set up a starch
ing shop in London. Even then
starched neckwear was considered n
vanity. Philip Stubbes who wrote
many clever and satirical words anent
the fashions of his day-and publishe ed
his writings in l5S3-spoke of starch
as the devils liquor.

ton. The question is vain one, for
If the Republican party had been in

NOT TRUE PATRIOTS
Republicans Put Party Before
Country.
Money Needed for National Defenss
Should Be Voted Without Quib-
bIe-Democratic Record Is
One Of Honor.

The most foolish exhibition of rarti-
sanship witnessed in this country for
many a day is that participated in by
the Republicans of the house and SEN
ate when they voted solidly against
the extension of the emergency war
taxes for one year.
1t is no excuse for this narrowness
to say that the measure was partisan
and that if the Republicans had been
in power they would have handled it
differently. The measure was not
partisan. If the Republicans bad
beer in control they would have been
compelled to take similar action. In
fact, the emergency war taxes are the
same in principle as those levied by
Republicans during the Civil and the
Spanish American wars.
The pretense that high or low tar
IFS. tariffs for plumber or tariffs for
revenue, had anything to do with this
question or the situation that produced
1t was equally false. The emergency
taxes were made necessary by the war
in Europe, which has dislocated COM
MERGE and industry to an extent never
before known.
Several weeks before the war with
Spain began, every Democrat in the
house OF representatives voted with
the Republican majority in favor OF a
$50.000.000 appropriation for national
defense. The money now derived from
the emergency taxes is just as neces-
sary to national honor and security as
the great fund that was placed unre-
servedly in the hands of President Nc
kinney in 1898. The first step toward
national defense Is to keep "a solvent
treasury.

OLD-TIME FELLACY EXPOSED
Republican High-Tariff Doctrine Has
Eeen Conclusively Proved to
Be of No Worth.

It is announced by friendly inter
prefer of Wall street. sentiment that
the street would welcome even the
nomination OF Colonel Roosevelt by
the Republicans If that would unite
the party. las it sees no other way to
a re-establishment of the high tariff"
The same news columns carry this
extract from an address by George e.
Roberts, twice director Of the United
States mint under different Republican
administrations and now associated
with a leading Wall street bank:
IF anything has been clearly demon
strated in recent months it is that you
cannot have a, permanently one-sided
trade. You soon reach the point
where you have to lend to your Gus
toner to enable him to continue his
purchases, and evidently that policy
cannot go on indefinitely"
This is now not merely an obvious
theoretical truth. 1t is a truth which
is being driven home with practical
force by every days developments in
the country's fast-expanding foreign
trade. The permanently one-sided
trade" which is the theory and the
end of the Old Republican tariff pol
icy has gone for good if America is to
hold it's new position in the commerce
of the world.
AS against this Wall street forecast
of a presidential campaign to re-estab-
lish extortionate tariffs there stands
the fact that great body of the Re-
publican party and even section of
Wall street are being educated away
from this position by the mighty force
of a new experience in economic prac-
tice.
