Ignorance on his part in the
above matters is perhaps pardon
able, wise as he is. But when in
the face of the facts outlined by
Rev. G. l.. Bent in this issue he
seeks to discredit the honesty of
Governor Alexander's work for
prohibition, he is absolutely mex
cusable. Even if all that he said
about the previous record of Alex
ander were true, his implication
that the governor did nothing for
prohibition but sign a bill which
he feared to veto, would have been
as false as 1t was contemplate
and, being, on his own statement,
actively engaged in prohibition
work for years, and in the state
senate, he must have known it to
be false and contemplate. He
must have known that the plat
forms called for the submission of
statewide constitutional prohibi-
ton and nothing else. He must
have known that an attempt to
construe the Republican platform
to mean in a remote way, statu-
tory prohibition in certain con-
tingencies was denied by the
Statesman as false. He must have
known that Governor Alexander
in ringing message as soon as
the legislature met demanded the
passage of statewide prohibition
by statute, pointing out that ow-
ing to new conditions resulting
from the adoption of prohibition
by Oregon and Washington, any
delay would mean the intrench-

Irrigation In Egypt.

81; The Egyptian ministry of public
works, which has been experimenting
In cotton raising during the past, ten
years in the Celia region in the Sudan,
has issued an optimistic report to the
effect that 1t will be possible to do
better than double the yield Of cotton
In the Nile Delta by means of sys-
TEN Of dams for irrigation In connec-
ton with the White Nile and the Blue
Nile.
+. Vast quantities Of water have been
stored already, and during the past 30
years nearly a million acres Of en-
tirely new land have been added to
the taxable soil Of the country. It is
estimated that in this newly explored
region about 100000 acres of land
could be made capable Of growing cot
ton. This, as matter of fact, would
give more land than Is now planted
with cotton In Egypt. Irrigation
works are now being constructed, and
a plot Of 10000 acres is being treated.

Sweater Coats in
Many Fabrics

! The sweater coat which is sports
coat ranges through all degrees of
the substantial and the unsubstantial
this summer, for 1t has been developed
In many fabrics. Beginning with knit
ted wool 1t progresses through knitted
silk and silk fiber to woven silks.
Having played dainty and colorful
part In these supple stuffs it ascends
to the exquisite refinement of sheer
white in coats of crepe. georgette. It
is seen in white and colored cotton
lcorduroys and in ratine in white and
many modish tints.
The immense success of sports style
I'm clothes has brought about q new
order of things. They are expressive
of the up-tO-date woman and are not
"a passing fad, hence the ever-increas-
ing varieties in sweater coats and in
sports hats, skirts and shoes.
A sweater coat in white fiber silk.

Fur.Trimmed Wraps.

For midsummer evenings are wraps
of lace trimmed with fur. Airy trihes
these, of surety, but things of fasct
nation for all that. They do mol give
great deal of warmth, to be sure,
but who desires warmth on an August
evening? What they do add to q thin
summer frock is matchless sugges-
ton Of elegance and formality-the
frock showing through at every point
so that none Of its prettiness Is lost.
One of these wraps Is of black imita-
ton chantiIly, In loose coat effect with
bell sleeves edged like the foot of the
wrap with tiny band of skunk fur.
A featherbOne hoop runs under the
fur all around the foot of the wrap
so that its fur and lace edge swings
out gracefully at every step. The
collar is of fur and may be worn open
or closed. A similar model In white
lace has beaver fur trimming.
