Doeuiliet Sends q New Coat Suit With
Fringed Muffler As Its Distin-
gushing Feature.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2-To begin at
the beginning In the autumn fashions
that are now being promulgated, ono
must know that stripes are beloved by
the dressmakcrs.
The dictum has gone forth that the
weavers were right when they harked
back TO the days OF the French rcvo-
luton and the stormy, discontinued era
IN history that preceded the coming Of
Napoleon.
Marie Antoinette wore stripes so did
the Princess Lamballc. Madame Ro.
land wore stripes, and hundreds OF
those courageous women who held their
heads high in the tumbril as it ratified
over the uneven cobblcstones OF the
u Saint Honore, to the guilIotine.

TO be twin brothers to freedom any

Striped Cloth Fabrics.
Possibly, the French revolution was
not in the minds of the weavcrs when
they produced in France a great va
ricty OF striped fabrics. Their reason
va commercial The French weavers
and their American brothers possessed
looms that could weave the striped
design, and they have been made use
OF in the creation OF a new fashion.
II may not be kind to say that the
world is very tired of the splashing
figured designs that were introduced
in Paris a half dozen years ago and
that are nov spelling the figures Of
half the women at the summer resorts.
There are wonderful silks made in
America which bear these MARITIME de.
signs and which are stamped with early
Egyptian and Indian patterns, but they
should be used for Innings.
Wraps OF any sort provide a solid
foundation for the use Of these bril-
Ian, colors, When they arc built into
one piece frockS. they are i~nexcusablc.
The stripes OF today are an agree
able contrast to the Still life" designs.
as an artist puts it, 1t is far better to
present the appearance OF being streaked
up and down, than plastercd with high
ly colorcd fruit.
To Be Handled With Care.
The amateur must step carefully thi,
season between the vast variety of
that are strcwn along the oath
OF fashion. Stripes are things that mus,
be handled with care. They do not
offer the amiable disposition to h.
lovely that is offered by solid colored
fabrics.
Doeulllct knows this because he is
an artist Of high degree, and in the
new suit which he has sent to this
country and which is shown in the
sketch today, the stripes are admirably
blended with bits Of solid colov,.

The Vice Presidency.

For all the fun poked at it, the vice
presidency has its comforts and COM
pensations. The incumbent need never,
and probably seldom does, get excited.
Look at Mr.. Marshall. While others
are in sweat and agony, compelled to
think Of twenty things at once, and
picking their way with greatest care be-
cause of the importance to themselves
and others attaching to their course, he
remains serene.
The President has more than his hands
full Affairs, foreign and domestic; big
affairs and little affairs; all sorts of af-
fairs press upon him. Consultation sue
ceeds consultation, and yet he has not
time enough to see half the persons who
want to see him. IF any official any
whero On the earth earns the distinction
and the salary that attach to high place

the man. There would still be work on
his table if daylight were doubled.
Champ Clark has just laid down the
Speakers gavel, but wants to take it UP
again. There is no rest for him. The

thirty days before the extra session Of
the new House begins must all be put
in by him in watching the corners. Eter-
nal vigilance is the price Of preferment.
James r. Mann, having for some years
beheld the Speakers gavel in the grasp
Of others, wants to grasp it himself. he,
too, must be alert every minute Of the
time before April 16.
But Mr.. Marshall is without burden
or embarrassment. His fortune is made.
He will be ready to take up the Senate
gavel again when the Senate is ready.
The verdict of last November fixed his
status for the coming four years. His
work is never hard. He presides over
some very interesting sessions, and from
the chair witnesses some entertaining
combats. Lawyer and orator himself,
he probably takes much pleasure in the
performances of his kind on the floor.
The vice presidency is all right, and
there is never any trouble about getting
good men to run for it. In Mexico it is
not included in the governmental
scheme, and maybe that accounts for
some of the trouble in that country. The
Mexicans ought to give the Office trial.
1t might work well, even with them.

House Preliminaries.

There will be three House caucuses
on the eve of the organization Of that
body. Birds of feather are going to
flock together. First the democrats will
meet, and talk over the situation and
the prospects. Then the republicans
will look over the field, and see what it
promises them. Last, and beast, the So
called independents-fve in number
will discuss where their duty lies.
The situation is one Of great interest.
Nothing just like it has gone before.
There have been warm, and a few pro-
tracted, contests over the speakership,
and other features Of House organize
ton, but no such contest as now looms,
nor any such circumstances as empha-
size it, can be quoted from our annals.
It has fallen to the year 1917-is there
luck in odd numbers7-to show some
thing novel in that line.
The present promise is that political
fnesse will not decide the matter-will
not even be employed. The fine Italian
hand Of the strategist will not be busy.
Nothing will be done in a corner. Ne
gotiations will be frankly conducted.
The country is fortunate at such q
time in the men Of most prominence in
the House. Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Mann,
canvassed in connection with the
speakership, sre thoroughly competent
men and personally we'll beloved Mr.
Clark's service In the Office is assurance

Russia's Revolution.

Events have moved swiftly in Russia.
That country was generally believed to
be the land in which the archaic form
of autocratic government was most deep
ly intrenched. Some observers with a
closer understanding of conditions may
have known better, but the average be-
lever in republicanism, though widely
travelled in Russia and well read in its
literature, felt that the land of the
car was to be the last land in which
the popular mass would awaken to its
power and insist ON those rights and
privileges which are coming to be recog-
nized as the rights of man.
1t has been known that the seeds Of
liberal government have terminated in
Russia and have lowered in certain of
the student and intellectual bodies of
the people. 1t was not known, at least
outside of Russia, that the seed of lib
eral government had been so generally
sown and had taken such root in all of
Russia's soil.
The proclamation of the provisional
government shows an understanding and
appreciation of the cardinal principles of
representative government in agreement
with the political conceptions of the
American, French and British peoples.
The decision of the Russian provisional
government to proceed forthwith to the
preparation and convocation of con-
stitutional assembly based on universal
suffrage, indicates that the Russian peo-
pie have passed from the night of auto
cratic government into the day Of repre-
sentative government in one stride.
Whether Russia can revolutionize it.
self and while in the throes of trans
formation effectively fight Germany
remains to be seen.

The Railroad Conference.

The nation intently listens for the
result of the conference between the
representatives of the railroads, the rail
road brotherhoods and the committee
named by the President to represent the
council of national defense. President
Wilson'S plea for railroad peace and his
appeal and warning to the opposing ele-
ments are before the public. The pub
lie heartily approves. The President
gives word to the thought of reasoning
and reasonable men when he says that
"a general interruption Of the railroad
traffic of the country at this time would
entail a danger to the nation" Also
does the President voice the sentiment
of the great body of Americans when
he says that ait is now the duty of every
patriotic man to bring matters of this
sort to immediate accommodation and
that "the safety of the country against
manifest perils affecting its own peace
and the peace of the whole world makes
accommodation absolutely imperative
and seems to me to render any other
choice of action inconceivable."
Any minute may bring forth an an
nouncement of the result of this mo-
mentous meeting. 1t is the hope of the
vast body of the American people that
the railroad brotherhoods may set aside
their particular and peculiar interest in
vso controversy in Difference to the
vastly greater interests of the nation,
or that the representatives of the rail
roads and the brotherhoods, with the
aid and under the persuasion of the
committee of national defense and of
the national government, may find some
common ground on which a compromise
can be effected, or the controversy post
poned.
President Wilson's words are nos only
an appeal to patriotism, but a warning
against unpatriotism at moment of ma
tional peril. The nation will not permit
itself to be rendered helpless against
foreign attack by domestic paralysis.

The Colombian Treaty.

The proper disposition was made of
the Colombian treaty. Ratification was
| blocked, and its withdrawal forced
There is talk of a new treaty, to be ne
gotiated in time for presentation at the
extra session of Congress. Such an in
strument will have to be drawn with
great care to pass muster here. The
whole subject is now so disfgured with
gossip, ordinations and determinations,
it is approached with caution.
The treaty that has failed encountered
two objections: O Its opponents
charged that the regret carried was in
fact an apology by this government and
intended as a slur on the Roosevelt ad-
ministration; and (2) that the money
payment stipulated was, in effect, black
mail.
This latter charge was emphasized by
the form in which ratification toward
the end was urged. 1t was stated that
at this time Colombia's friendship was
very valuable to us; that Germany might
find friend, and maybe an assistant, in
her; that the thing to do was to attach
her to US by wiping out the bad feeling
growing out of the whole Panama cpl
sode.
In any future negotiations we should
stand firmly upon the proposition that
we are in Panama by right; that the
canal is ours; that our title needs no
underwriting by Colombia or any other
power; that we have paid our way and
discharged all our obligations in that
connection.
of value relating to the canal and its Sc
curity which we should control, or re-
lating to the boundary between Co.
lombia and Panama, and she is will
ing to part with it to US for a money
consideration, that is another mat
ter, and should be treated on its own
merits. The establishing of Panama as
an Independent state need not be
dragged in. AS a nation we have in
dorsed that and profted by it, and
should not at this or any time cast re.
proach upon that action or those in au-
thority when the action was taken.
Smart money rarely accomplishes its
object. Oftener than not, it curses him
that gives and him that receives. It be-
comes nobody connected with the trans
action. In one way or another it
plaques both sides; and leaves the payer
a little ashamed, and the payee little
resentful, and both in a humor for an
other quarrel.

Schools and Preparedness.
From the Chicago Post.

Plattsburg was fertile soil. There
was sown the military training camp
idea, and from there 1t spread to ILL
nois, to Indiana, to Kansas. to Mime
sofa and other states. The Military
Training Camps Association was formed
and Is today the vigorous agency
through which the impulse to be pre-
pared to defend American ideals finds
healthy expression in American youth.
It was inevitable that this movement
should enlist the interest and co-opera-
ton Of schools and colleges. In them
are the spirit of youth and American
ism. They teach the ideals for which
defenders may be needed. It Is right
that they should do their part in train
ing the defenders. The points Of con-
tact between the camp movement and
the educational institutions Of the
country are many and obvious
