FISHING FOR TOMoODS.

The publicity bureau of the Democratic
National Committee says this: ''Unlike
the Republicans who are embarking on
an unchartered sea, Democratic leaders are
fully cognizant of the problems of the
day and have well defined ideas of their
solution" We suppose they refer to the
sea Of diplomatic wisdom and economic
efficiency. If so, we wish to remind the
Democratic leaders that in sailing this
sea the Republicans know the courses
and distances, when they leave port they
have competent crew and have never
failed to land the cargo to the satisfaction
of the consignee They do not, therefore,
need chart, neither do the Democrats,
because they are not deep-water sailors
and never sail across this sea. Occasion
ally, however, they go out Just beyond
the outer islands and have a good time
fishing for offices, and when they get lost
in the fog they drop anchor and-keep on
fishing The only problem" they ever
consider is what bait to use. Two years
ego they used che kept us out of war
This trip they are using politics IS ao-
journed."

LOYAL AND TRUE.

Il = now fitting time TO give generous
praise 20 the small contributors to the
Nations war fund. There were more
than $3.50, O0O men and women who
boupht $50 or 500 bonds in the first Lib
erty Loan drive. More than 5000, 900
men and women bought bonds of these
small denominations in the second drive,
and there were $4,000, 900 of them who
bourht i'm the third drive. For the most
part, these citizens OF ours were people
whose savings and income were small
and in many instances these bonds were
bought on credit and were paid for by
W eekly or monthly installments, to be
made possible by more rigid economy.
The whole amount of these small pur-
chases was about 81, 500, 600, 0OO These
several Liberty Loans have been followed
by drive for War Saving and Thrift
Stamps. 1t would be interesting to know
how many people of limited means have
RESPONDED to this call. The number OF
people, rich and poor, in the United
States who have invested in these lattel
savings, is well up towards 81, OOO. 600 Of
men. women and children. Many mil.
lions of these who have subscribed to this
war fund have done SO, not by reason Of
their financial ability, but by reason. Of
their loyalty to the government. These

THE AIM OF SOCIALISM.

The status between the autocracy and
the socialists of Germany is anomalous.
They hate each other bitterly and at the
same time are working together. Both
desires to obtain military and industrial
dominion of the world, the Socialists de-
sire to rule the world in accordance with
their fantastic and untried theories
Hence each has the same immediate pur-
pose which is to overthrow the govern
ment of other nations but their ultimate
purposes are at utter variance The
Socialists of Germany aided the autoc-
racy in running Russia and expect their
brethren in Russia to assist in overthrow
ing the government of Germany when
circumstances render that scheme posi-
bic The Socialists of Germany and
Austro-H Hungary bide their time, till the
Kaiser is beaten. Then their opportunity
will come to openly rally for spring at
the Threats of the autocrats, and very
likely the maddened hordes of Russia
will come swarming over the border to
wrea vengeance for treachery and Prus-
sian indignities. The socialism of Europe
is far more dangerous than that of the
United States, more dangerous because it
is older and of greater stature. The So
cialism of Europe is crafty, unscrupulous
and cruel. 1t stabs in the back. Our
|, w w. is of the European cult, but we
have besides these more conservative
type. Many of these, seeing the chaos
to which Socialism has led Russia, are
turning from it with disgust. But we
have a host of the l. W. w. and the con-
servatives cannot control them. Social
ism feeds on war and fattens on condi-
tons which inevitably follow war. Our
|. W. w. is the Bolsheviki of the United
States and is the organization around
which will gather the dissatisfied and the
agitators. Their propaganda is covert,
but active and unceasing. Already they
are a menace to life and property in
many localities After the war, during
the first business depression which &C.
ours, they will be heavily reinforced by
the idle, the vicious and the dissatisfied
We fear that the next ''Coxy's Army"

A dress worn on a club veranda the
other evening, was of English embroidery
topped by an over frock of black net,
that was banded at the foot by wide
chantilly lace lounce, put on fiat The
same lace draped the bodice over the en-
broidery, while the sleeves were trans
parencies of the net and lace.
A taffeta sash of French blue ended in
one of the popular punched up bows at
the back that more than suggest the
hustle.
A similar idea was embodied in a frock
of white organdie with the usual panel
front ornamented with narrow pleatings,
topped with an over dress of figured
chiffon that covered all the under dress,
except the front panel, and was finished
with a collar and wide cuffs Of the or

Matching Sets
Matching sets lose none of their pres
tige, and would be wearisome but for
their infinite variety of form and color
Matching hats and bags are most preva-
lent but beach cushions, parasols and
every sort of jumper and smock are
matched up after the same style, often
with excellent effect. and as such Access
series are worn with various skirts and
frocks great variety is attained and
changes many produced with few be-
longings.
Chiffon Sweaters
Chiffon sweaters or smocks are among
the latest bidders for favor and sleeveless
jackets of velvet have rivals of silk,
satins and printed chiffon that camouflage
a passe frock successfully. A dress of
pink ACCORDION pleated organdie built on
simplest beltcd smock lines, had hat to
match and a palm leaf fan dyed pink
completed the coolest possible looking
costume. LUCY CARTER.

Sane Big League Managers Don't
 Have to Waste Breath.

F Every move has a meaning, re- marked barker once in announcing a more or less noted Oriental dancer. This applies to big league managers and ball players, too, according to the story told recently by Larry Cheney in the course of a flaming bee.
 When I first came into the big league in 1909," began Larry, "as a member of the famous old Cub ma chine I soon learned that there were some things that I was supposed to do without getting verbal orders from Frank Chance. One of these duties was to know when to warm up. I was sitting on the bench one day when one of our southpaws was being touched up pretty lively when Brown, who was sitting alongside of me, be- gan to nudge me.

MARKET WAS MORE ACTIVE.
Domestic Happenings Were Considered
 Encouraging.

New York, June 11.-Trading in stocks today was .trifie more active and diversified than ill yesterdays in- significant session, but in other essen tials the market showed no material changes.
 War news again entered into the calculations of professional operators, but domestic happenings, particularly those bearing upon industrial condi- tions, were distinctly encouraging.
 The most noteworthy development in the broader field of international finance was the resumption of gold inn ports from Canada The inflow is ex- pected to reach substantial proportions and will come entirely from the Bank of England's reserves in Ottawa.
 Coppers and allied commodities un- der federal regulation strengthened on intimations that the government is likely to abandon it's price fixing policy and rails were temporarily better on reports that Director General McAdoo intends to modify the standard form of contract.
 Equipments were led by unimportant issues like Colorado Fuel and Great Northern Ore, leading steels making little headway. Popular industrials kept within limited bounds and ship pings were extremely unstable. Tobaccos and motor accessories re- f1ected the activities of pools at gross advances of two to four points, Su matra pproximating it's recent rise and United Cigars covering. Sales amounted to 375 900 shares.

l DRAFTING OF ALEXANDER
 HEAVY BLOW TO BASEBALL
Former Pitcher Loses Chance at Re. cord Set By Mathewson.

The heaviest blow that has been struck baseball fell when Grover Cleveland Alexander was drafted for the army. Alexander is undoubtedly the greatest pitcher in the game today.
 But Alexander's call means some thing more than this, both to baseball as a sport and to Alexander as pitch CT. It means that Alex cannot hope to set new pitching record, a record of having won thirty or more games a season for four seasons.
 The record of three thirty game seasons is now held jointly by AL exander and Mathewson. They are axactly tied with record of nine ty-four games won in three consec- utive years.
 In 1903 Matty won thirty games the following year he won thirty three and in 1905 he won thirty-one games In 1915 Alexander won thirty one games, in 1916 thirty-three and last year thirty-one
 Here's the way Alex feels about it I'm human and money means as much to me as it does to anyone. But even though I'm making more money than most fellows of my age, I haven't a regret at entering the army. But do regret not being able to having tC try at Matty's record. believe ] would be as good this year as I was last I believe that I could win my thirty games this year and set a rec ord which would stand for years.
