SUITS RETURN TO
 PEPPER AND SALT

By virtue of necessity the dress of l man-at least man in America seems about to become more sombre l than ever. Those who have been
 urging a sartoria1 uplift in masculine
 gayety are likely to suffer a bitter 1 disappointment, says the P1 evidence Journal The president of the 1n-
 ternational Custom Cutters associa- ton rises to remark that our swell dressers will soon have to give up colors-bright co1ors, anyway-on account of the inability to procure dyes from abroad.
 It is an important announcement and it is calculated to bring gloom to many a heart that is devoted to passi onate waistcoats and suitings of cheerful hue.
 Farewell to Blues and Greens.
 For the last 100 years man has
 been considerably restricted in his Only the bo1der souls have dared tendencies toward co1orfu1 raiment- to take advantage of such oppor- tunities as were afforded, and it is only occasionally that the eye has
 been gladdened by a dash of gen
 uine and generous color in the mas
 cuIine crowd, aside from the small
 spots that have been furnished by
 frivolous neckties, or d'fcravats, as they are called by superfine sartoria1 experts. But apparently what has been IS a perfect T1OC or cOIOF com pared with what is to be. The mogu1 of the custom cutters ventures to predict that before the year is out
 men will be wearing only black and white. ''It can't be helped, says he. we are short of blues, greens and
 other colors. About the only thing left is the pepper and salt"
 The Old Pepper and Salt. The pepper-and-sa1t suit was T0n certain advantages that commended it to the respectful consideration of our practical grandfathers. In var ious ways it seemed to be more ser viceab1e than clothes made of most other fabrics. Its strongest hold on the affection of the average man was in the little attention it required. Most clothes have to be brushed ire quentIy and industriously. A pepper and salt did not call for this care. It looked just as we'll, or at least no
 worse, if a brush never touched it.
 A very fussy man might take his suit
 out in the back yard and give it a per
 funtory shaking once a week or once
 a fortnight, in order to get rid of the
 extra weight given by accommodating
 dust, but the average pepper-and-
 salt suit was out on the line twice a
 year and beaten vigorously, like Xthe carpets. It merely figured one of the items in the seni-annua1 house cleaning.
 For the Good Old Days.
 Those were the days when silver philosophical contemporary regret fully remarks, the days when we 1 dressed plainly and though grand1y, the good old pepper-and-sa1t days. And in this mood of amiab1e retro l spection he continues:
 Those were the days when silver
 dollar looked as big as a cart wheel; 1 In doxyc rI7n11 a icrF7t at a, minstrel show furnished entertain
 ment for a fortnight; those were the days when the farmers boy who pos
 sessed a buggy in which to go courting
 his best girl on Sunday night felt like
 a millionaire; those were the days
 when the organ in the par1or was one l of the treats of the neighborhood; those were the good old days we
 thought would never, come come again.

RISE IN FARM LAND VALUES.

The value of farm lands of the United States, without improvements, is estimated at $45.55 per acre, as conn pared with $4O.S5 year ago,
 $40.31 two years ago, $3S.1O three years ago, and $36.28 four years ago. says the St. Joseph News-Press. The census reported the value of farm lands in 1910 as $32-40, and in 1900 as $15.57 per acre In recent years the value of farm lands has been fn- creasing at the rate of about per cent. a year, or approximately $2 per acre per year. The exceptional in- crease of the last year may be ex- p1ained partly by the reaction in the southern cotton states following a temporary depression last year, and partly by the stimulus given by the war to prices, particularly of grain. Increases have been general through out the United States, the only note worthy exceptions being orchard 1andssan some irrigated lands in the northwest, which. apparently had been overhau1ed before.

peace officers by J. c. Trout yesterday.

Trout had given Moran money and

Where the People
May Have Hearing
On Consul Situation

To tie Editor of the Republican.
Sir:
We would like to state by this that
the citizenship letters that Mr., Fran
cisco r. Ochoa gave us were not le-
galized by him. he being not author
lied to do it.
But the truth IS that the above men
toned letters were legalized in the
Mexican consulate at Nogales, Arizona
by Mr.. J. II. Delgado Mexican consul
in the already mentioned city.
And once for all, let it be known by
the present that that which Mr.. Me-
lendiez asserts in his newspaper "El
Mens2j eio' is absolutely false; Mr..
Ochoa has not taken the liberty to
legalize citizenship letters and much
less to charge one dollar and fifty
certs for them, but merely as a good
Mexican he sent the said documents
to their destiny

Huqhes and hmericanism

1t depends now upon the decision of Colonel
Roosevelt whether the republicans shall win the
coming presidential battle and the decision, we be-
eve, will be in favor of republican victory, if Mr.
Hughes shall declare in favor Of strong American
policy His Geographic statement of Saturday leaves
doubt that he will make such declaration in his
official speech of acceptance In spirit of patriot
ISM in that event Colonel Roosevelt the foremost
American will finally he has tentatively, declined
to run on the progressive ticket In such the
whole progressive strength will be thrown to Mr..
Hughes to which would be added the votes of thou
sands of American democrats whose WEAKNESS of.
and disgust with, the unAmercan, vacillating policy
of the present administration has been i-concealed
We feel that the tentative declination of Mr..
Roosevelt will be made absolute and that in the can
didacy of Mr. Hughes, he will find opportunity to
give force the policy of Americansm of which he
had been an advocate long before the American people
were awakened the need of such policy. There
is other opportunity except in the candidacy of
.Mr. Hughes.
Mr.. Roosevelt is patriot rather than partisan.
He has already accomplished the purpose he set out
accomplish. He compelled the old guard to accept
IA man it did not and to adopt the most American
and progressive platform in republican history. If
he had been seeking only his own personal glory
surely here is enough of glory.
The Republican believes that Mr.. Hughes will
stand squarey that platform. not only during the
campaign but also after his election The Republi-
can therefore regards it its duty and the duty
every American citizen to rise above partsanship,
stand for the platform for patriotism and to support
Charles Evans Hughes.
There is the slightest doubt that the
country regards Americanism as the greatest the
overshadowng issue while party lines will almost
certainly be dsregarded they never have been dis
regarded before and if the position of Mr. Hughes
made definite and clear he will have the support of
merely republicans and progressives but of Amer
generally.
1t will be admitted that he honestly believed him
self to be handicapped by his position in the pre-
convention campaign and that he estopped from
any statement which might have been construed to be
effort by justice of the supreme to seek
elective office What he says now. that he is
free, will be accepted if it rings Enthusiastically.
Mr.. Wilson will be henceforth handicapped in d
fight this issue He will be the defensive
throughout His campaign must be of explana-
ton and apology by himself and his supporters.

A Peace Party

The possibility of a Peace party led by William
j. Bryan and Henry Ford mentioned in a Chicago
dispatch to The Republican yesterday morning, has
been limited before. 1t discussed before
the Nebraska primaries and the discussion is said
TO have had its origin in remarks by Mr. Bryan Such
a party, it is surmsed would also advocate national
prohibition and amendment the constitution for
woman suffrage.
The strength of the party which though it might
attract it the extreme pacifists, the more
extreme suffragists and many prohbitionsts, would
lie chiefly in Mr. Bryan who has still large follow
ing in the democratic party following attracted by
the personality of the Nebraskan rather than by his
principles This following would be with Mr.. Bryan
whatever his principles might be- For years he was
the unquestioned leader of his party The democracy
of member of it determined solely by his loyalty
to Mr.. Bryan. That, though in the period when
democrats had nothing but hope. Those who have
since secured taste of the substance have fallen
away so that Mr. Bryan is no longer the leader of
his party. But large element Of it has been
admitted TO the substance. 1t is far removed from
the flcshpols it in the barren period following
1896 and is still willing follow Mr. Bryan for other
years through the wilderness.
In the ordinary of party evolution Mr.
Bryan never again become the leader Of the
democratic party. He will never again be accepted
as its candidate for president His only hope of a
regained leadership lies in catac.ysm. Whether
party would be a cataciysm is something to be
determined only by experimentation.
Undoubtedly Mr. Bryan believes there is a strong
pacifist sentiment in the country For years he has
recognized strong prohibition sentiment and a
strong equal suffrage sentiment Does Mr.. Bryan
believe that he is enough of magician these
elements together and retain his hold upon those of
his democratic followess who are not pacfists
suffragists prohibtonists?
