NONPARTISANS
HOLD MEETING
Several Speakers Address Small
Audience at Meeting Satur-
~. day Evening

= For the purpose of stimulating in
terest among local farmers in the
nonpartisan league, and the proposed
triple alliance, political union of the
farmers, the railway brotherhoods and
the labor unions, and to secure fnan-
cial backing for a plan to establish
daily and weekly newspapers thruout
the state, a meeting was held Satur-
day evening in the Hotel Kennewick
park. 1----z--..- Y ssf-s.ss 2. -.
The principal speaker of the evening
was William Everett of Spokane, who
has been hired by the labor organiza-
tions to enlist the farmers in the "new
emancipation" movement which is ex-
planned as freedom from the power
and influence of the kept press and
big business. Mr.. Everett took as the
basis of his talk census statistics
showing that in the United States
there are thirty millions of people en-
gagged in gainful occupations. Of that
number ten million are farmers and
eleven million are artisans. These two
great masses, he said, are the firm
foundation blocks of our economic
structure and pyramiding on them are
the other eighteen millions, the apex
Of the pyramid being the 100000 bank
ers at the top. Below the bankers
and serving them are the merchant
class and below the merchant class
and serving them are the professional
class, tn ecierks, statesmen, etc. While
all the wealth of the country origin
ates at the foundation of the pyram.i
he claims t!lsi it has gravitated up
ward .l.u Natural channels to tie
top of the pyramid where is vested
the power of the nation, both financial
and governmental. The purpose of the
present movement he says, is to spread
apart the two great foundations and
let the pyramid collapse, bringing all
classes to the same level.
Another speaker was ]. L. Freeman,
representative of the national nonpar-
tisan league. Mr.. Freeman briefly
reviewed the fight of the league to
gain control of the government of the
state of North Dakota. He said that
the league is now organizing in Is
states with a view of accomplishing

- prices are too high and you'll
wait for them to drop? You're
making a mistake, for prices must
stay at high level for years.
Consider the facts. There's a trem-
endous market in Europe and here at
home for every thing we can make
the fundamental law of supply. and de-
mand must work. We have an unpre-
cede1ted amount of gold in the coun-
try, and when there is more money In
circulation and no great increase IN
production, we simply pass more gold
around for our goods. We have high
prices in figures-but not in realty,
for if wages are higher and goods are
higher, the balance remains the same.
So long as the gold stays here, prices
will be up. In short, business mon say
unreservedly that if prices do go
down at all, it will be very, very slow
Iy. In the meantime, rents are higher
and you pay relatively more to live
as great proportion as though you
built your home at present figures.

W will not only help yourself, but
you will help relieve the housing situ-

The home that you build will add per-

prosperity of the entire city, give us
opportunity to expand.
And if we can make you realize that
it is to your advantage to build now,
you will help start the wheels of in

Government asks you to build now to
give retiring soldiers work in factor

the county organizer of the nonpar-
tisan league, said that he expected to
carry on an extensive campaign dnr-
ing the next few weeks and hoped to
enroll at least rs per cent of the farm
ers of the county.
Another speaker was E. w. Bowles,
of Prosser, who is widely known as the
cherry king of the county. He stald
that he had this year sold nearly 5o
tons of cherries from his six and
half acres at prices ranging around II
cents per pound and consequently ne

brought 1T into prominence through

way or French designers, 1t smacks
or those childish and witty pranks
that the Belgians kept up for four
years under German domination such
as wearing macaroni in their hats
when Italy Joined the war and the
German government forbade any cele-
nratlon; th or pinning scraps of paper. on
the lapels of their coats and allowing
them to stick out of all their pockets

All men and women are children
grown UP, and they delight in prank
as summers dust. So when the de-
signers couldn't use wool for clothes,
in a spirit of pure mischief. they
poured it out as ornamentation, but 1t
was mischief that did not interfere
with the conservation of wool.
Colored roses may be made from
ODDS and ends of crewel. They cost
little in the beginning, but the dress
makers had no conscience in asking a
good price for them in the end. Some-
times they are used in fantastic ways.

we are tired of those wooden roses
on our hats, so few milliners would be
so constituencies as to advise that

Victorian Roses on FrOcks.

A LII the Victorian roses are not on
sofa cushions Some of them or
nament frocks. This is a new idea
cribbing a colorful trick from the in
terror decorators and applying it to
open air clothes.
The result is effective. Every woman
does not like it, but those who do
care for 1t carry it off with skin and
receive admiration.
1t was BulloZ, one of the masters of
Parisienne designing, who started the
idea of padded colored roses on blue
serge frocks. His scheme for colora-
tion was followed in a more or less
hearty manner in this country, until
jet appeared as the best ornamental
tion for serge gowns, and then the
colored roses fell out. There is a ques-
tion in the minds of many who take
dress seriously as to whether it is
good taste to put either jet or roses on
so common garden cloth as serge;
but If the world takes up fashion
with sufficient enthusiasm to popu-
larize it criticism against it dies out
People become accustomed to the sight
of it. and we rarely criticise the thing
with which we are very familiar.
Now, the roses of Bulloz were Of
satin. and possibly that is why the
fashion did not get good grip on
the public. The new roses are of wool.
and their juXtaposition to serge, ve
lours and velveteen is beyond criti-
cism.
There is no difference between the
roses for frock and those for a cush-
ion. They all belong to the Victorian
era which William Morris condemned
They are made of colored wools; they
are crude in shape; they do not de-
ceive any one into thinking that they
took nature as their pattern. They

or at the end of string belt. And
yet we like them.

servation of wool was necessity, and
that only three and half yards would
be allowed for frock the world in.

THE dressmakers insist upon taffeta
as the fabric to be chosen for
the rest Of the seasons No one knows
whether the attempt will succeed. All
the colors are brought out in this silk.
and 1t will be advocated for evening
as we'll as for afternoon. Shaded taf-
feta In pastel tones. for dining and
dancing. is claimed to be very smart
indeed. Rustling taffeta frocks made
in eighteenth century fashion, with
garlands Of roses. with square decol-
letage outlined by lace and finished
with crumpled. wired collar at the
back. and with elbow sleeves. are ex-
plotted for the hours after o'clock
as better than frocks Of satin or vel-
vet.
Trains have definitely returned to
fashion: and dancing Is being taken
up again by a swirl of young and mid
ways danced when peace was de-
clared. There never has been time in
the history Of this planet when dane
ing was not associated with the march
tory. So dance gowns, the dressmakers
say. were ordered by the dozens as
soon as the night of darkness turned
into the day of sunshine.
And yet. at this very moment. long,
tight skirts and trains have appeared.
1t is true that the swirling width of
material which is called train Is ar
ranged so that it can be hooked up on
the skirt or slipped over the arm by a
loop Of metal or bead embroidery: but
the short, full skirt which came in
with dancing is considered quite out
of style. However, women will not
find the narrow skirt as difficult to
dance in as when an American first
brought the ragtime steps from
France. for we have diminished the
speed and the length of those steps In
dancing so that the best dancers rare
ly move their feet far apart from each
other. II all the public dances as the
best dancers do, in the correct synco-
pated way. the tight skirt will be no
bar to pleasure.
Among the interesting bits of news
in the world of clothes is the return
Of covert cloth. 1t is made UP into
suits, not frocks. The coats are cut in
box shape. quite unlike those many
scanned, fitted ones that were once
worn with dark blue skirts and con-.
sidered the top notch of fashion.

Draw-String Bead Bags.

THE woman who finds time now and
again to indulge in little handi-
work should be delighted that the
beaded bag fastened with draw strings
is much in favor. For this type of bag
can be very satisfactorily made at
home. 1t Is more difficult to mount
a beaded bag, once made. on metal
frame. The draw string bag is simply
made with a casing, through which is
run beaded strap.

1t did not need the impetus Of the
revival Of southern gayety to bring
about the recrudescence of splendid
evening frocks. They sprang into
being as soon as peace opened the lid
of the box. They were the first real
butterflies that fiuttered into the sun
shine.
Satin was foresworn. Taffeta did not
hold a chance against brocades that
Leonardo da Vinci would have loved.
1t Is said that these brocades have
been kept on the shelves for years,
and that 1t Is now impossible to get
enough Of them for the quick demand
of women for sumptuous clothes A
few Of them are metallic and glisten
like old armor that has become rusted
and discolored.
There is one frock in red, green and
gold brocade that shines like some OF
the pieces Of medieval armor found In
European museums. There are other
brocades In white that are EMBOSSED
with crystals and jewels. and there
are midnight blue. dull silver and deep
red brocades that look as though they
belong to flfteenth century canvas

then submerged by the demand for
simple materials. None but an expert
in the manufacture of cloth could tell
from whence they came. but 1t was an
the coming Of peace--this leaping into
the light Of brocades that we have
never seen.
There is a peacock brocade which
has been superbly handled in a gown
that gives one an instant thought of
a proud peacock summing itself on an
ancient garden wall. BY this time tho

in America, for 1t was made to see the
brilliant light that falls upon high
place.
1t is not only worn by one who is in
Europe, but by other exceedingly dis

duplicated 1t. The foundation color OF
design stamped on 1t in silver is a
peacock's eye. The skirt is wrapped
