Secretary Houston. Of tho agricu.-

cized on the floor Of the house yester-
aay and IL is stated from Washington
that severe criticism Of the secretary
is coming from different sources to the
same effect-that he has not risen to
the emergency. II is also stated that
II he were TO be replaced II would
create no surprise in Washington.
Setting aside the particular case OF
Secretary Houston except as an ind,-
cation of the beginning of change, the
sooner changes are made from place
holders 10 competent statesmanliks
and executive men In all departments
where change shall be needed the bet
ter Tor the country. That such changes
are necessary Is evident to every
thinking person and as evident from
perusal Of the history OF all nations
suddenly called to face emergency. It
was SO in the civil war. II was plain
in the skirmish OF the Spanish Ameri-
can war. The mere place holder. ele-
waited thru accident Of location and by
reason of party service rarely rises to
the level Of greatness or complete ser
vice. Perhaps Secretary Houston Is
not of this class. But If he is he should
be replaced by a competent man and
every other incompetent should be
weeded ont irrespective OF PARTISAN

There is always, however. a period
Of waiting until the man for the OPP
rortunity arrives. In that period the
mistakes are made that lose navies
and destroy armies and shatter bust
ness. The man of the hour when he
comes must not only carry the burden
Of his own task but the mistakes of
weakness, the semi-treasons Of petty
cabals. he must unravel before he
knits up.

with shades OF silk. The ground

panies which sell fixtures arc no

simple to make. Wire frames are
ordered to ft the individual light and
the SILK is quilted on this and finished
at top and bottom with ono of the
pretty fancy braids which arc to be
found In tho shops at reasonable
prices.
But In a certain very artistic tea
room q new treatment Of these shades
and very attractive one was recent

wall bracket lights having its own
small shade each had one somi-circu-

rested against the wall back Of the
light, 1t was Just as II large shade
had been cut in two and half used
on each bulb. The shades were OF
rose-colored silk and had a top Of the
silk so that any reelection thrown
against the coiling would be rose
colored also.
Indeed this matter of covering the
tops of lights Is growing in favor and
