money was used in an attempt to evade the law and the surprising thing in connection with it all is that thus far nothing has been done except to drop certain of the inspectors who were involved.
 The loss of their jobs may rid the health department of men who cannot be trusted but it is almost impossi- ble to believe that they are going to escape from their predicament in such a manner. If respect for the proper performance of their duties is going to be impressed upon meat inspertors, whether they are the indicted or not, they should be held to strict account for their conduct. It would be i'm possible for the dealers to give bribes unless the inspectors accepted them and one is as guilty as the other and the interests of the public demand that all who would engage in bribery where the health of a community is involved should be made to pay a stiffer penalty than the loss of a job.

VOGUE FOR MoHAIR.

Somewhere in France"-states a fashion expert-it has been decided to raise mohair to the very apex of nlOdishness. Nobody knows just who started it--unIess it was Drecou who brought out q very fetching black and white mohair suit in the early spring but now all the couturiers are fall ing over each other to present new original creations in mohair and in silk poplin-another crisp, resilient dress fabric that lends itself adapta bly to the moments modes. Gray mohair and gray silk pOplin are especially the thing, and no one who sees one of the latest gray mohair models from Paris could ascribe the term "quakerish'' 10 it--though gray mOhair has had the Quaker suggestion for generations. A smart little tailored suit of gun metal gray mohair was fashioned for a bride of late June. White satin pip ings and buttOnhoIe motifs, white satin facings on collar and cuff, and rows of white buttons with black rims lent snap and snartness to this gray mOhair costume. It was accom- panied by Q black tulIe hat, gunmetal gray glazed kid buttOned boots and gray silk stockings. Parasol and taf- feta silk petticoat were in. pansy pur- pie tone.

Stories of the War
sheIIina Out the Germans.

An artillery lieutenant who arrived in Paris on leave gives me the follow ing description of what he saw from an observation post just north of SoyecOurt:
 T was ordered to watch a section of German trench running some 15C yards along the edge of a small covert It linked with an extensive trench sys- tenn behind the wood by two com muniCatiOn trenches, whose position we knew fairly accurately. On reach ing the post the local commander re- ported at least two full companies of Germans opposite. His section had been subjected to Q heavy fire and he expected an attack at nightfau. It was then about ?. m.
 Tt was a brief but horrible sight. A first there was Q series of earth fountains along the trench line, fol- lowed by great cones of smoke, which slowly collected over the wood itself, until the latter was hidden. Through glasses I could see that whole sectors of trench had closed up, burying the defenders. Constantly human limbs and bodies were visible among the upthrOwn earth and debris. An inter vals a gray green form would leap swiftly backward from the trenches but the hazard from the incessant rain of steel fragments was too great, and gradually there grew a line of mo- tiOnless bodies among the bruShwOOd I counted thirty-seVen after three quarters of an hour.
 "Afrer eighty minutes signaled, trench demolished and the bonn bardnent ceased. I would have defed any one to point out where the trench had been. There was nothing but line of houows, hillocI1s, and sheIlhOles. As the smoke cleared. 1 saw how ex- celIent had been the aim on the com municatiOn trenches. Two open roads, each twenty feet wide, had been blasted through the wood. II was only the bodies, lying thick along both, that showed they had indeed been com munication trenches.
 T continued to watch. Here and there wounded wretch dragged him self painfully amid the tree stumps. Perhaps a few survived in the deepest dugouts, but as Q practical unit the half battalion had ceased to exist. And remember. that was a tiny sector. Add the total of such cases along the whole front, and you will realize why our victory is certain"

rHE RAILRcAp SITUATION.

Little improvement is to be noted in the railroad situation. The man agers have not agreed to the plan proposed by President Wilson but on the other hand they have a counter proposition which they desire to sub init to him for tho purpose of bringing about an adjustment of the dispute. That this would result in approval by the railroad employees any more than the effort to secure arbitration in the first place or that it would suit the men any better than the suggestion by the president has suited the rail road heads is not indicated.
 The situation is fully as delicate as tt has been from the time MT. Will son undertook the difficult task of bringing the two parties to an agree ment that the country may be spared the detrimental results of q strike.
 Just what the effect of the presidents action in consulting with leaders of the senate regarding legislation which would cover such a situation in the future is going to have remains to be seen. He does this Of course to SUD- port the stand which he has already taken ir favor of the granting of an eight hour day. Congress may or may not listen to such an appeal
 In the meantime the railroad men are getting anxious. They consider that the delay is operating to their detrimeuc but delay ought not to be objected to if it is a fair settlement Of the trouble that is sought That the situation has shown any notice able improvement is not indicated.

HENS TN DAMAsK.


 Every woman who has ever at tempted to lay hens on napkins or tablecloths or chem them after they are laid knows the impossibility of doing them quickly or well if the stiff ening is not first removed. One way to get them in proper condition is to rub the linen between the fingers and thumbs along the entire length of and prevents needles from breaking. Another and better method is before the linen, napkins particularly, is cut apart, wet it along the line of division and for about an inch on each side with a small toothbrush dipped in soapsuds. Not only will the thread draw with few, if any. breaks. but the hem can be laid with much greater ease. Never attempt to cut linen by the eye. It takes little more time to draw a thread and that is easily made up by the ruickness ard accuracy, with which the hem is laid.

new revenue measure in MT. Bryan's Comnaoner over his name: The tariff commission he says, 'pleases a cer- tain element and does no harm. Its tendency is to postpone Q change in rates and that is at present de- strable." MT Bryan here lets the cat out of the bag for, if it pleases a certain clement and does no harm" it is intended to do no good. Its pur- pose is, as he confesses, merely to provide an excuse for delay and to fool the people into thinking that they are to have scientific tariff revisibn from the democrats. No fairly in formed person can he convinced that a tariff that will build up American industries in all parts of the country is attainable through a political party wholly sectional in it's control and interests as is the south-ridden demo- cratic party. The only way to get an effective tariff commission is by restoring the republicans to power-- Omaha Bee.

FRESH CHERRIES eLAcE.

Did you ever try glace cherries for the after dinner sweet? They are Q welcome change from hints and pre- served ginger. Cherries are in season just now.

POLITICAL

Tariff Commission Not on the Square.
 Are the democrats on the square with the tariff commission proposal incorporated in their new revenue bill? All their previous actions would in dicate that they were not. If the dem ocrats sincerely favored a tariff com mission they need not have legislated out of existence the non partisan tar if board started under the preceding republican adrninistratio If the old tariff board did not suit them, the democrats could easily have recon strucied it when they enacted their Underwood tariff law. Yet, they not only did nothing of the kind, but they continued to discountenance and dis credit the idea of tariff making by ad- vice of nonpartisan experts until now, when they suddenly reverse in the be- lief that they can make political cap ital by pretending to flavor the tariff commission plan.
 That it is all mere pretense we now have the proof in the boost given the

REVENUE ONLY A FAILURE.

Tn his addresses during his western trip Charles F. Hughes, candidate of the republican party for presiEant, has directed no little attention to the importance Of getting the industrial as well as the economic conditions of this country on a firm fOunda- tion He has repeatedly stated that he is in favor Of a tariff that will give protection to American industry and such protection as it has a right Co expect, and such as is necessary for this country to compete with the nations of Europe
 This he sets forth in his Cheyenne address when he said "The problems that We are facing today are not ex- actly like those which we have dealt with in the past. We are entering upon a new era of history. I do not hink that the world will be the same after the European war as it was before. The uphOIding of American industry lies at the very foundation of the future of the United States. It cen never be done under an admin istration that frames its tariff for revenue only"
 The people of this country have had an excellent example of the fruits of such tariff. It has been put into effect by the present administration and it is fully understood by the peo- pie how fully it has failed. This country has found itself dependent upon foreign manufacturers and there are conditions which tariff for revenue only simply encourage. It has felt the hand of federal taxation in times of peace as never before because this tariff for revenue policy has failed to supply the treasury, Experience has shown such tariff legislation to be against the interests of the country
