To the Clever Woman Who Makes the Most of What
She Spends

The women of 100 per
cent. smartness are the ones
for whose patronage we are
ever alert. With them a
word or a hint goes as far as
a page - at a glance they
recognize the subtilties that
make a coat or suit the lead
err in its class. And so to
the tailors of New York and
Cleveland we owe a world of
thanks in this season of smart
clothes and so does everyone who
likes to see stunning garments on
stunning dresses.
The many snappy garments of in
dividual style ana smartness which
we are showing surely appeal TO
those who want something that is
new and different, something that
has little individuality in itself
These are the garments you will
find here.

County Commissioners

of coed road workers under Boss

it was necessary to go on foot by
way of a rough trail to the

War Powers of tho President

TT remained for the food control bill to con-
! fer upon the President the final powers
which convert the democracy Of America
into wartime autocracy. We may readily
believe, as we review that sweeping au-
thority which now resides in the head OF our
government, that he has become within four
months the most potential factor in govern
mont ia be found in the world to-day.
We had come to look upon the German
Emperor as a potentate whose prerogatives
are next to limtless. But this war has re-
vealed the fact that 1t is not the Kaiser who
dominates but 1t is the Kaiser who is DOM
mated. He Is the head Of all-powerful
system. but his voice is not one OF literal
command. He may not make or unmake at
will Beyond him, perhaps above him, is
the military establishment which actually
governs tho German empire.
And instead Of extending his powers. war
has seemed to contract them. This is in
radical contrast with the President OF the
United States. In time Of peace the chief
executive OF this nation Is circumscribed by
very definite restraints. In time Of war he
Is clothed with almost unlimited authority.
not: only over the military and naval estah-
lishments, but over the domestic affairs OF
tho nation we'll.
1t may be borne in mind that the record
now stands, the President Is vested with the
right to control the entire railroad system
of the United States; all lines Of communica-
tion including the telephone. the telegraph,
the cables and the wireless; the entire over
seas shipping of the country, including all
the shipbuilding facilities. In addition the
raw materials Of the nation are in his hands.
This is true of foodstuffs, of feeds OF all
descriptions, Of fuel either in the mines or on
the market, of steel needed for ships or rail-
roads or for munitions. of lumber. OF copper
or any other product which the government
or our allies may require.
To make dictatorship Of the presidency
might seem alarming But the country
we'll as Congress knows that this delegation
OF power is only temporary measure; that
it must be withdrawn with the coming Of
peace, and that, however sweeping it may be.
1t is in the hands Of men of our own cleo
ton. 1t Is not in the hands Of men born to
position or raised to eminence by the word
OF any sovereign or group OF men who have
no responsibility to the people whom they
govern. Moreover the Congress and the
country fully understand that in marshaling
the forces of this nation for gigantic war,
II Is imperative that our resources shall be
concentrated in few, hands, and shall be
directed by fewer. There Is no other way
to fight modern war.
