bassadors of Mexico City the night
Francisco l. Madero was seized by his
officers and forced to abdicate the pres
1dency of the republic, is in the pos
session of Ives G.. Lelivier, Mexican
consul here. He has written the Car
rama government for authority to
keep it.
The shield was taken by a customs
officer from a Mexican who was trying
to get across the international line at
Nogales, Sonora.
Its seizure by the customs officials
ended a search of three years, begin
ming the night it was stolen after it
had been cut by the bullets which flew
from the pistols of officers and order
lies in a melee which started in the
Hall of Ambassadors when Madero
stood under the shield and protested
against his arrest.
The rawhide hung on the wall in the
days of Diaz, and President Huerta
valued it so much that he commission

Just as soon as the young adven-
turer in life has learned to stand
alone, or even earlier, it is time to put
him in rompers. Dresses are in the
way, and make the business of learning
to walk or to creep more difficult than
it should be- The greater part of the
time of babyhood is spent in rompers
in those up-to-date homes where good
sense governs.
There is really wonderful variety
in styles for rompers. Those who de-
sign them contrive to stamp them as
boyish or girlish, even for the young
est wearers. They fasten in most
unexpected places and are made to
wash and iron with the least possible
trouble. One may have choice of
patterns, including the models classed
as play SUITS with fastening at the
back or front, or those that slip on over
the head and fasten up the inside
of the legs. For the youngest wear

"When we contemplate Industrial
and commercial conditions" says Mr..
Hughes, 1--WE see that we are living
in FOOLS paradise" This is the con-
dition to which the administration and
its supporters have deliberately closed
their eyes. When the war cloud broke
over Europe, this country was expert
encing the most serious depression it
had known since 1893, when the Demo-
cratic party and its policies were in
full control of the United States.
Suddenly there came from over the
sea a demand for munitions of war,
clothing, food, supplies. everything
needed by vast armies and by coun-
tries whose sons were taken from the
field and the workshop, never to re-
turn.
AS result our exports and the bal
ance of trade in our favor have reach.
ed figures far surprising any ever be-
fore known. Temporarily, especially in
the East, there is no lack of work at
high wages, for Europe must pay
whatever price America asks. No
thoughtful person would imagine that
this condition is anything like real
prosperity. How false it is, we in
Oregon, who have the clearer vision,
because not clouded by the smoke
from munitions factories, have fully
felt and fully appreciated.
What the Republican candidate for
president says about it the Democrats
know to be true:
"Our opponents promised to reduce
the cost of living. This they have
failed to do, but did reduce the oppor-
tunities of making a living. Let us
not forget the conditions that existed
In this country under the new tariff
prior to the war. Production had de-
creased; business was languishing;
new enterprises were not undertaken;
instead of expansion there was cur
tailment and our streets were filed
with the unemployed"
The suspension of these conditions
is not nationwide, only sectional, and
depends upon the duration of the war.
Those who think otherwise are, in
deed, living in fos,l's paradise.--Port-
land (Ore.) Telegral.

THE RIGHTS OF AMERICAN
CITIZENS DO NOT STOP
ATTHE COAST LINE.

when I say that I am an
American citizen, 1 ought to
say the proudest thing that any
man can say in this world. But
you can't have that pride If
American citizenry is a cheap
thing, If it is not worthy OF
protection this wide world over.
There is no man who could sue
cessfully present to an Amert-
can community the platform
that an American citizens
rights stop at the coast line
and that beyond that American
life is to be the prey of any
marauder who chooses to take
it."-FrOm speech of Mr..
Hughes in the West.

There is choice in length Of coat,
but if one chooses to be exactly cor.
rect, the coat is short enough to show
eight inches of the breeches, unmount-
ed, and six in the saddle. There is a
variety in coat models, among them
the Norfolk and the English styles,
and the coats for suits intended both
for hunting and riding. A practical
and dressy suit is pictured, made of
hard-twilled serge in black and white
check, with an adjustable cape.
Riding boots of soft black or tan
calfskin, and those that lace up the
front, belong to the regulation outfit.
For very dressy suits patent leather is
offered, but it is less comfortable than
the others. Soft white shirts with
prim collars and mannish riding hats
complete costume that may be de-
pended upon to enhance the good looks
of any woman. In hats the choice lies
between clipped beaver, felt, milan
straws, satin jockey caps, or severely
tailored street hats, with the clipped
beaver in first place.

PULLED STUMPS TO MUSIC.
Brass Bands Played to Tighten Labor
In Canadian Army Camp,


Camp Borden, Canada.-Never before
was stumping done to the accompani
ment of martial music. Four battal-
ions were engaged the other day in up
roofing old pine stumps while their
brass bands played in the midst to
tighten the labor and to allay any pain
old Mother Earth might feel in the
process of extraction.
About million stumps have been re-
moved in the camp area. AS the ground
Is sandy, the roots are easily pulled up
with stumping machine. They are
then gathered together in heaps and
set on fire. The sight of these bonfres
on the plain at night in the vicinity of
the camp is reminiscent of Homer's

er, so the comfort of the little lad of

The rompers shown are made of cot

of the same fabric. White rompers
and hat are for the promenade, but
dark cotton stuffs make those that
serve for play. Dark blue calico,

Gales, and other practical weaves of
cotton are used for them. Sleeves are
likely to be short for summer wear,
