GET THOSE HIGHER UP.

With the confession or the part of tEFo eX-cOnvicts that they lied at the direction of others in order to fur uish the testimony for bringing charges against Thomas Mott Os- borne. warden at Sing Sing prison in the state of New York, that famous action takes on an entirely new phase.
 It is some time since the bottom fell out of the charges and the indict- ynents against bIr. Osborne were quashed, resulting in his return to the waTdenship after months of ex- pense and annoyance. It was only a short time ago that he gave warning to the effect that he intended to run down those who had been responsible for the trumpcd up charges and bring them to the bar Of justice, and the confessions which are now disclosed indicate that an excellent start has been made. That there will be many more interesting revelations is prob able.
 The revelations which have been made in this connection make it plain that the confessing ex-convicts were not solely responsible for the charges, They were prompted in their actions by the efforts of others Wilo sought the removal of the warden and the blackening of his name. That they failed in their dirty work is not enough, however. They need to be ferreted out and be made to pay the penalty for their operations, and MT Osborne deserves the full support of the New York state authorities in bringing it about. Society will be safer with such people behind the bars

THE PLATED SKIRT.

Piaited skirts often give trouble with the back closing. To keep it from parting, do not open 1t in the cen ter back seam if you have an in
 verted or box plait, but have the skirt ready for the band, all seams stitched and pin the plaits in care fully. Then slash down on the right inside crease of the center plait. This makes closing that will not part, and needs about half the number of hooks and eyes. Allow the band long enough to reach across to the slasned side. Plaits that swing eout of place can be stitched to position at the extreme edge on the under side. This is a good method for all cotton and other washable skirts. When ironing, turn first to the under on the wrong side all around the Lskirt, then turn" on the outside and

MEXICO NEEDS MONEY

5 IL can be readily understood why much of the timeof Luis Cabrera of the Mexican commission is taken up with financial matters which are entirely outside the subjects to be considered by the American and Mexican dele gates. Mexico is, and has been for a long time, in need of money. The op- .eration of a government, to say noth- Ing of the added expense imposed by Q revolution, requires treasury which will show funds on the right Fide of the ledger. This Mexico has hot got. It has suffered severely by the changes in administration and by the maintenance of an army, all of which might be met if the revenue was adequate, but when that too has been seriously depleted, for war is al- ways @ terrific drain on funds and a demoralizer Of business whether it is domestic or foreign affair, the task of floating loan is forced
 With Europe at waR and in need of all the money it can obtain. it is but natural that Mexico must realize that 1t must 4turn to this country, but here another obstacle is encountered through the fact that those who have money to lend and who under ordt- nary circumstance would be glad to aid the peighbor to the south are not disposed to supply the needed financial assistance that Mexico may keep up Ats disregard for American rights and tho intolerable situation which has existed for months along the border Let there be. however, some evidence of the future course of the de facto government, which amounts to more than empty promises and the obsta- cles in the way. of a loan will quickly 'disappear. .

Comments on the condition of the peach crop in Connecticut, as indicat- ed by the harvest of some hundreds of baskets of peaches in one of the Hale peach orchards which yielded several thousands of baskets last season, indi- cate a gloomy state of mind. It is probably because account has not been taken of the fact that only two good crops out of three are hoped for in Connecticut peach orchards and that their management and return, if gov erned by scientific rules, is based on that fact, so that there is really not much reason to be sad.-Waterbury Republican.

POLITICAL
After the War.

When the war ceases the clouds over Europe will be quickly dissi- pated and this country will face the naked fact that it must compete with nations laboring under enormous taxes and compelled to reconstruct their finances by every possible means. There will be sharper competition the world over than ever before and .She haymaking season for the Linked States cannot be anything like inc present. Indeed, there is every reason to think that our commerce, foreign and domestic, will shrink alarmingly under keen rivalry.
 One way to save much of the do- mestic trade is to put the tariff back where it was before the Wilson Ad- ,atnistration began to experiment. Brooklyn Standard Union.

9 A SERVING TRAY.

A rather nice idea for a serving tray, if one is tired of embroidery, is t oremove the wooden bottom and paint on it, in the center. the initials of the owner. Use Old English or Roman letters and place them side by side, transfer them with carbon paper, and then use oil paint and fill in the letters. Usually a narrow out line of black or some dark color is used, as it makes the letters much more artistic.
 When the paint is dry use a wide brush and go over the work with @ coat of light shellac. Light shellac will make red, orange and yellow and colors in which they predoninate ap- pear much brighter, and it is the same with black. When used over blue the member when using shellac over a color it has the same effect as wash of yellow paint

The Classic Utterances.

President Wilson has made three classic utterances about the world war, and they will probably be copied into the school histories. He first issued a proclamation telling us that we must be neutral even in thought about it.
