Governor" Let me go back a few years
and remind you that Senator c. W. Wet
son, of Maryland, formerly showed Lord
Baltimore in gig classes and also in
ladies phaeton classcs,-- winning both
with ease. Mrs. John Gerkin's Newsboy
in his prime repeatedly won runabout
classes, gig classes as well as ladies'
phacton classes. Judge William H
Moore repeatedly wins gig classes with
Lord Seaton and ladies' classes with
Lady Seaton, and yet they are Identical
and when shown as Fair it takes an
expert to distinguish between them.
Considering the past why is it not POS
sible for the governor TO be a typical
gig horse and at the saline time be 4
good horse to draw a lady'S phaeton?
In the recent New York Spring Horse
Show at Durland's this particular horse
which has caused so much comment,
showed all the qualifications Of a lady's
horse. Therefore. l feel that the Judges
who gave this horse first in the ladies'
phaeton class at this mentioned
show used good judgment land are free
from criticism. InasmuCn as this horse
did all that was required Of him and had
the substance to pull the phaeton, with
manners, pace and action, I cannot help
but feel that he has the type for pur-
pose in this particular class.

In illustration No. ! will be seen
an unusually attractive design for
breakfast room screen and table run
ner to be embroidered in cross-stitch.
A light quality of linen is used in
soft ecru color. The designs are
very simple and in but two colors.
Wool floss should be used for the
work in gray green and soft plum
color.
The table runners are made in two
strips, which cross in the middle.
The napkins should also be Of the
same linen and the decorations should
follow the same character of design
shown in the mats.
The screen is made in three wooden
frames, each measuring twenty-five
inches in width and FIVE feet and six
inches in height. They are held to-
gether with double acting hinges,
which can be purchased for fifteen
cents pair in almost any hardware
store.
In the small country dining room,
cross-stitch work can be used most
effectively. The wool comes in a large
variety Of beautiful colors and many
patterns for decorations can be pur-
chased in the shops and stores.

the reformation Of many offenders and
the reduction in cost Of maintenance OF
prisoners were given as the purposes to
be achieved by the proposed legislation.

passes legislation for Great Britain, it is
the law and constitution (the House of
Lords and the King have little poweT),
and as for a set of judges passing judg-
ment on an act Of the House of Com
mons, well that would make an English
man laugh. Those eminent citizens who
are so warm for Constitutional govern
ment Of the 1857 brand. with their eyes
closed and backs to the future, would
do well to cast a reflective glance at
past history: methinks they would see
there the lesson that all progress has
resulted from tine aspirations Of the dis
cOntented few who agitated for some
thing new; they will Gild few stand
patters Of past history on pedestals or
in fame's galleries. The dead agiIator
they now worship, finds counterpart in
the agitatOr they now deCry. This gen.
Grafton is raising monuments to many
agitators of less than a hundred years
ago, who in their day were hunted like
wild beasts. These emisrHt citizens are
so obsessed with the Importance of prop
eTty that the rights of man are lost sight
Of. If they want to work for something
worth while, let them take a course in
reading Tom Paine's works or even
Thomas efferson's-two of the greatest
men of all history-tOo little known to
posterity; decorated by eminent citizens
and the church for their radical ideas.
Paine and Jefferson will be on relestals
OF the future when those who sIur them
today are keeping the spirits of their
detraCtors company in the oblivion they
so justly deserve. J. w. RICHMAN,

AGREE ON ARMY
OF $4,000 men
Senate and House Conferees
Agree on Peace Strength Sat-
isfactory to Big Army Men.
VOLUNTEER ARMY LOST
In Lieu of Plan, However. Advocates
Obtain Enlargement of Train
ing Camp Plans.

Conferees OF the Senate and House on
the army reorganization bill have reached
an agreement which insures a defensive
army in time OF peace Of $4,000. The
conference report was not signed yester-
day. but an agreement was reached as TO
all Of the important matters in disagree
ment. and it is expected that the report
will be signed at a meeting of the con-
ferees to be held tomorrow.
The principal features of the bin as
agreed upon were given out by the con-
ferees following the meeting yesterday.
The big army men have secured prac-
ticaIly everything they contended for ex-
rept the volunteer army" In lieu o.
this they obtained an enlargement and
liberalization OF the authorization for
camps Of instruction which will make It
possible TO develop big reserve force.
While the authorization for the regular
establishment of the army is not all that
the Senate desired, House COnferees
yielded on the plan for organization of
the standing army and of the General
STAFF, which will make it possible to Sc
cure a regular army that will not fall
below 10000 at any time and may be in
creased in time of peace to $4,000. ex-

FEAR
HUGHES AS FOE
Wilson S Friends Disturbed by
Possibility of Associate
Justice Being Nominee.
FORESEE HARD FIGHT
Believe President Could Easily Defeat
Anyone Except Hughes Hughes
Silence Annoying.

Striking evidence is obtanable here in
the private conversations of Democratic
leaders tnat friends of President Wilson
view with alarm the probability that
Associate Justice Charles f. Hughes, Of
the United States Supreme Court, may be
named as the Republican Presidential
candidate. Among Democratic leaders
there appears to be a fear that amounts
almost to a panic that Mr.. Hughes will
te chosen at the Republican national
convention to be held in Chicago next
month.
Democratic leaders almost to a man arc
apprehensive of the Hughes candidacy.
They express the opinion privately that
the President can beat any man that may
be named by the Republicans with the
exception of Mr.. Hughes. II statements
made by Democrats are to be accepted
at their face value friends Of the Presi
dent would be perfectly satisfied if the
Chicago convention nominated Theodore
Roosevelt, hut they feel that they would
have a fight on their hands il Elihu Root
were named and would enter the cam
Paign with grave misgtvings in the event
that the Republicans choose Mr..
Hughes.
Justice Hughes refusal to say anything
of a positive character as to whether he
would accept the nomination has lent an
element of mystery to his candidacy and
name that has given pause TO leaders Of
both parties. II Mr.. Hughes is named,
according to Republican leaders, it will
lie the most striking instance that has
ever been given in American politics Of
the office seeking the man.
So far as is known the Associate JUS
tice has told no one that he would az
cCpt the nomination. On the other hand,
he has told no one that he would decline

of the old Colonial houses Of New
England, we find most interesting
examples of cross-stitch work. Fire
screens, pillow tops, chair seats, and
even quaint pictures, were executed
and it is only in recent years that the
old ideas have been revived.
The lower part of the screen shown
in illustration No. 3 is covered in a
blue burlap, studded with large brass
headed nails. The upper portion of the
folds is covered in tan linen and en-
broidered in heavy wool hoss in very
interesting Chinese designs. A band
of gold galoon divides the upper and
lower panels.
To those who are interested in the
execution OF such embroidery work,
it will be interesting to know that
embroidery frames can be purchased
especially arranged for this kind of
work. They are made so that they
can be adjusted to any size. The
frame is held in place by two stand
ards so that the work is always in
convenient position and can be raised
or lowered at will.
Many interesting designs can be
worked out for pillow tops. The
coarse woods are used for tins work
and are more effective than silk. Lin
en- is perhaps the best material for
such work. However, any plain WOW
en- fabric may be used.
In choosing the colors for en-
broidery work avoid the harsh heavy
colors. If brilliant colors arc used
the contrast is too striking. If the
light colored linens are used for pill
lows, it is advisable to arrange the
covers with buttons along one side
so that they can be easily removed
and washed. If embroidered pillows
are used in the living room they
should be combined with others in
plain colored fabrics and not decor
ated fabrics, such as cretonne. Next

DAVIS AUTO co. TAKES
over WESCOTT PLANT
Greatly Increased Demand. Both For
eign and Domestic, Makes More
Floor Space Necessary.

Steady increase of the demand of the
Davis cars not only here in the United
States, but abroad. has grown to such
an extent that the Davis Motor Car Com
pauy has found it impossible to meet this
demand without greatly increasing the
working capacity of the factory ac-
cOrding to Miner & Rice, local distribu
ters
The Davis Company has succeeded in
taking over the entire plant OF their
neighbor automobile manufacturers. the
WesCOtt Motor Car Company, and will
occupy that factory on July /
For two years the Davis people have
been looking for more space, and by this
arrangement their old and new plant
combined viii cover 1900 square feet.
Many important changes will be made
in their factory equipment by adding
the latest improved tools and machinery,
and by employing the most skillful arti-
sans in order to follow the standard that
the Davis Car Company has set, that
is to produce standard high grade cars
at a price to meet the keenest competi-
ton.
Large distributors Of the Davis cars
are now operating in every big city Of
the United States.
Only six months ago they started in
the export business. entrusting the man
aEement Of the export department to
Xavier Chichon De Nice, a native of
France, who has had a very extensive
experience as foreign sales representa-
tive Of German company, the Prussian
National, Of Stettln. The result has been
that the Davis cars are now being
shipped in great numbers to Europe,
giving everywhere, under the severest
conditions, entire satisfaction to their
owners.
After fourteen years Of strenuous la
bor this company, established in 1902 by
George w Davis, Its president, has now
reached a point where it can be classed
among the leading automobile manufac-
turers OF the United States
Owing to the increase in the factory
production, the Davis Company will add
to their working force many skillful me-
chanics and workingmen. The manage
ment Of the company will remain the
same, George W. Davis, president and
general manager; W. H. Cummins. treas
urer and factory manager. and Earl w.
