HATS AND FROCKS

As shown here many OF the hats

effect is quite quaint and fetching.

CAPES POPULAR FOR MORN
ING AFTERNOON AND EVENING

Perhaps the cape Is going to fool
the designers, who predicted that It
would be merely fad and not be ac-
cepted permanently. for from all in
dications the American woman has
accepted the cape, and, what is mUrv,
intends to keep IT, This is due pro-
badly to the variety of styles that
are presented for the cape. For
mornings there are the tailored rain
er military ones sometimes witaou,
trimming, more often trimmed with
dignified rows of buttons, The at
ternoon cape takes advantage Of its
informal time and just is a cape,
that is all. OFTEN one sees smart
woman with fox scarf thrown about
her shoulders when she goes walk
ing or dancing in the afternoon in
her cape. And the for evening the
gorgeous display of capes in their
most eapricious materials and designs
are Saiso Beyond description.

The passage by the senate and
house of the estate Trunk Highway"
bill, with only three votes against it
in the senate and seven in the house,
all Nonpartisans, marks the COM
pletion of what is probably the most
progressive and most important piece
of legislation ever enacted by any
legislature in Minnesota-or in the
entire United States for that matter.
The bill is proposed constitution

by the people in November 1920, in
order to put it into force. 1t speci-

Legislation, which is now under way
will provide for a graduated tax on

cost of such paving can be secured
from the federal government-St
Louis county must bond for the
other half. When the state takes over
the roads in the proposed system in
1921 it will be compelled by the
terms of the bill just passed to pay
back to st. Louis county all that il

ter up with the members of the board
and with County Road Engineer Ac-
ton. If the people of the county will
act they can get the benefit of these
roads at once-and without cost. If
they wait, they may have to wait a
good many years. Owing to the
$10,000,000 yearly limitation, the
state may not build the St. Louis
portion of the system for ten years,
but if st. Louis county acts now,
it can have the roads at once.
/ made a half hour talk in
the house against the ten million
yearly limit, on the ground that the
people expect the roads at once and
they ought to have them; the state
ought to be in a position to build the
roads as fast as possible instead of
being tied hand and foot to a Is to
20 year long program. Political con-
siderations prevailed, however, and
my proposition to remove the limit
was voted down.
The First Big Fight.
The house enjoyed a visit and a
talk from our only living expires
ident, Mr.. Taft, and it's first big fight
of the session, all last Friday morn
ing. Mr.. Taft talked, with funny
little chuckle that made everybody
like him all the more, for nearly an
hour on the League of Nations.
The talk was delightful, pointed and
full of meat. Then the house took
up the Motor Corps bill and from
1 100 A. M. until 8 80 P. M. under
call of the house which permitted
no one to leave the chamber Grated

A compromise between the advocates
of the bill and the labor interests

prominent labor leader, voted for it

Everybody dislikes a motorcycle,

noisy things, their hundred mile an

ingly trying to get 200 miles an hour

"The Mesaba Miners Industrial
Council" is the name signed to a
circular circulated in this city dur
ing the night few days ago. The
circular was printed in the Slavonic
language and was circulated by a
Bulgarian miner. The opening
clause gave all the information as to
the nature of the screed and it is no
wonder that the silent hours of the
night were utilized for it's distribu-
ton. The opening paragraph was
nothing more or less than the first
article of the red book of the /. W.
w. and claimed that no good would
come of the country until capital
was destroyed and the l. w. w. Sc
cured control of everything. Other
l. w. W'isms were translated into
Slavonic and among other things was
the caution not to become affiliated
with the American Federation of
Labor but to stick to the l. w. w. in
the shape of the Mesaba Metal
Miners Industrial Council, the cam
oufiaged offspring of the murderous,
red flag parent. The circulating of
this rotten dope confirms the con-
tention of some of our exchanges
that it was the l. w. w. who were
organizing all that would join on the
ranges and not the American FEEDER
alton of Labor. Those responsible
for the circulation of the red flag
propaganda should at once be taken
into custody and deported to redder
fields and pastures new-Russia for
instance where they could find vent
to their overcharged systems. These
fellows are enemies to this country
and are blatant demagogues bent on
working the worker to the point of
ruination. The "bloated bondhold-
erer," ''fat boys" capitalism"
"down trodden labor" proletariat,"
"plunderbund," and many other pet
phrazes are used to hoodwink the
victim and feather the nest of the
nefarious outfit headed by "Bill''
Haywood. The arraying of class
against class is the object. To tear
down everybody and everything seems
to be the aim sought and the dupes
are made to believe that "our aim
represents the only honesty in the
land.

Mayor Power at the Lincoln Club

special privilege" a phrase of the
doughty mayors that did not set well
with some of his auditors. Mr.. Pow
er's address was big hit with the
labor interests throughout the state.

his talk, read bit of poem that de-
clared, well elect Vic Power Cow

speak, but Mr.. Power had left the

The increase does not do Minnesota
a particle of good; on the contrary ii
makes the sale of Minnesota ore
much more difficult. The roads can
make money on 631s cents; the ex.
ira 361s cents is simply taken and
used to make up the deficit in othe,

Those of us who are opposed to
the tonnage tax are wondering
whether it's advocates willget together
or whether the gross tonnage" adj

The Nonpartisan Leaguers are deter
mined to have whatever credit there
is from tonnage tax bill, while all
| other tonnage tax advocates are
equally determined that the Non
partisan league shall not have the
credit of passing the act. At the

attorney, hired to speak for the Non
partisan league bill, spent most of his
time ridiculing the Bendixen bill.
