The Motive,
One way and another

One way and another
We worried bout mother
When first she decided to vote
The home would be shattered,
At least badly battered,
And we'd eat at tabbledyhote,
Where none need be lookin' !
Fur simple home cookin'
Like that which today we expect;
We felt mighty fearful
The place now so cheerful
Would drift into gloomy neglect.
One way and another
We're going to mother
With all of our cares, as Of yore;
The duties unendin',
The nursin' and mendin',
She's doin' them all as before.
Now we know, when she's speakin'
And earnestly seekin'
In the work of the world to take PAL
That her real ambitions
Are safer conditions
Round the home that is first in b.

The Union League and Mr.. Hughes

The campaign value Of the reception
TO Mr.. Hughes in New York last night
was not so much in the meeting of Mr..
Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt as in the full
attendance Of members of a powerful
organization. Attached to the Union
League Club Of that town is some nota-
BILE history. Rooted in patriotism, and
responsive at all times to large pur-
poses, the club is gathering place for
men Of weight in both the professional
and business worlds, and has been con-
spicuous in many movements, political
and otherwise, of national importance.
Locally, it wields great influence. So
that when it shows the interest it is now
showing in national campaign, there
is every reason why the managers of
the campaign should feel strongly
heartened. Chairman Wilcox and his
heutenants must be in a comfortable
frame Of mind today SO far as New
York is concerned.
This is not to say that the claspinR
Of hands by the two former Presidents
was without value and will have no eff.
feet on the campaign. That feature Of
the evening was we'll arranged, and a.
carried out will tend to increase the &C.
tivity Of both the distinctive Roosevelt,
following and the distinctive Taft fol
lowing in Mr.. Hughes behalf. That
both Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft desire
Mr.. Hughes election and will help hold
up his hands if he is elected is oper
10 NO doubt. They have pledged hin
support openly and in all sincerity.

THE LINES OF YOUR NEW
GARMENTS
Will Depend Largely On
THE CORSET OVER WHICH
THEY ARE FITTED.

making it imperative that the new model
corset should be worn when the garments
are fitted. The style of the corsets changes
with the style of the outer garments, and
the best results are gotten only when the
corsets are of the latest model.
We have some excellent models espe-
cially adapted to the full figure They are
OF heavy coutil, we'll boned, giving substan-
tial support to the hips-medium or low
bust.
A beautiful model, designed for even
ing wear, is of soft silk; very flexible; low
bust, long hips.
A Asplendid French model is of handsome
brochet or couti, designed especially for
tailored gowns and suits; long hips, low
bust.
For general wear we offer beautiful
silk model, reinforced; of style adaptable
to wear with evening gowns or tailored
suits. This is of medium bust, long hips;
excellent workmanship and material.
We make special feature of Misses
Corsets. One lovely model is of broche or
coutil; flexible and particularly adapted to
the developing figure. This is graceful and
very dainty; pink or white.
Another model is of very soft silk, hav-
ing only one bone over the hip; appropriate
for wear with the dainty dance frock This
corset is trimmed with a superior quality
of lace and ribbon.
We are showing an extensive variety of
Brassieres, and emphasize the importance
OF wearing them with the low-bust corset.

SEEKING THE CAUSE.

a TER every roalroad mishap comes an Investigation
EAto fx responsibility for the wreck. Several inyes.
legations are now under way to tx. IL possible. the
responsibility for the catastrophe on the New York Cen
trail lines on Wednesday morning.
Three big questions face the probers, namely:
Was tie towerman asleep on his job, as some allege?
Did tho engineer of the, second section of the Pitts
burgn.Buf:alo flyer run past a red block?
Did the block signal fail?
The zowerman stesdfastly denies that he was asleep
and maintains that he set a red block.
The engineer OF the second section and two other men
assert that they walked back to the block signal after
the wreck and found that 1t was then set red.
An official Of the railroad stated yesterday that he did
not believe that the towarman had failed in his duty, and
that tho responsibility for the wreck lies between the
engineer aud the block system. This would seem to at
least eliminate the towerman from direct responsibility
in the eyes OF the railroad at least. r
A BLOCK signal, set suddenly and without warning
against a train speeding along eastward with another
train following in the next block seems to be at the bot
tom OF the doubt that exists as to the cause OF the
wreck. @
Eliminating the. towerman and leaving the signal sys.
tenn and tho engineer to place the responsibility on, it
looks frr1n early reports as II the block. system may
have to rtand the blame in this instance. although this
Is simply a guess and the official decision Of those con-
Quoting the Investigation Is the one which must be ac-
cepted. & .
The possibility OF q slipup In a block system has not
yet been eliminated. The system has not reached the stage
Of perfection where one may say that there is absolute
~ no chance for It to fail. 1t is not likely that an engi-
neer would deliberately run past a red block, for he
stands az good a chance or better than the passengers
to suffer fol- his folly.
The entire affair is very d%eplorable, but from the early
reports It would seem that a slip of mechanism, rather
than a human error, was to blame for the tragedy at
Amherst.
