Al Aupusta business man, Thursday,

"r have for many years noted that
the Democratic party is correctly typ
ifled by the donkey-stubbornne ana
determination to have its own way at
any cost.
"History has shown that party to
be successful and remain in public con-
hdence must respond to public senti-
ment and demand. This the Democratic
party has never done and, in spite OF
daily demonstrations, never will. 1t
poes on having it's own way and but
ting it's fool head into the wall Of pub
lie conviction, braying loudly that it,
and not the people, knows what they
want:
This is entirely true in the matter OF
mail service. The party set out to save
something because another Of its don
key notions fails to furnish revenue to
run the government. In spite Of protest
it has reduced mail efficiency all over
the land and insists, donkey-like, that
the people served don't know the diff
ference 1t is giving no attention to the
protest arising from Maine to Califor-
mia, and it won't know why the people
vote against it next September and
November. That is the donkey part of
it.
Now, on this tariff business. the
donkey shows, life size. The party has
the opportunity of it's life to set itself
right with the people-but it won't
seize the chance, because Of its dom
key disposition. If the party would to-
day recognize the imperative need of
preparedness in revenue to run the
government-properly support the ru-
raj free delivery. and so forth-and
promptly revise the tariff (for revenue
purposes only Of course) it would
make hit and rob the Republican par

the donkey in the party won't permit
horse sense.
AT this time the Democratic party

been puzzled to know just what form
of napkin to use with the Irish linen
sets. Madeira napkins, the dainty,
are hardly in keeping, and the con-

So But now we find the solution in
the form of linen squares, edged about
by an irish lace picot Many of them
are simply this and no more. Others
are decorated with an ornate mono
gram or conventional design at one
of the corners. While these may be
bought at a shoD for something like S.

est novice can learn how to make a

parents-are predisposing cause, the
condition being also due to the strain
of work and excitement placed upon
so. many children in these days.
A new born infant should pass most
of its time in sleep. only waking and

that from five to seven years old the

SAVING HINT

Z Save your old silk raincoat to make
q nice bathing suit for next summer.
Cut the blouse and skirt from the best
part and make the boomers from
what is left. over, or from mohair.
Trim it with a bright braid and make
tie and CAP from the spare pieces.
Another use for that old coat is to
make it into waterproof bags which
are very handy for carrying rubbers or
slippers to school this winter These
bags are made in the shape of en-
velopes and are half yard long and
nearly as wide Bind all around with
tape and fasten with a snap. At the
top and at each end fasten braid a
yard long. This makes it convenient
to sling the bag over the shoulder and
carry in this manner.
