Mira Gibson Fahnestock, who Ia lay
ing aside her mourning, wore a gown

signs or its Paris maker, This skirt
came to the ankles, also showed consid-
cradle width at the hem, while the
open tunic to the knees was hcmstitched
az n depth of nine or ten Inches, with
delicate lamentations of embroidery at
short intervals above and below the

wearer's good taste was that tho chlf-
fon sleeves, in fashionable flowing shape

LAUDING ALosT CAUsEE.

The symposium on Socialism, Growing World Power,'' must have stumped some of our excellent so-called Socialists who in fact are Democrats.
 Socialism as a growing world power deri- yes such strength it has at this moment from corrupt combination between Russian anarchy and Prussian autocracy. Neither of them can stand alone. If there mad been no Prussianism there would have been no Bolshe- yik Prussianism sacrificed everything to the state. Russianism, following meekly in its trail sacrificed everything to the mob.
 There are many Socialists in the world who have stood aghast at the crimes committed Tn their name. Some of the are honest enough to say so Others are inclined to offer excuses and apologies. Only few of them will admit the truth which is that there is not now and never was anything in Socialism that not vengefully inspired in autocratic and militaIis- tic Germany
 Democratic nations may proudly place the record of their political and social progress in contrast with anything that has been ac complshed is likely to be accomplished in Socialistic Germany. What is happening now east of the Rhine is not making Marxism any' more acceptable to self lf-governing and liberty loving peoples no matter what those among who cling to that destructive philosophy may say do.

JOY RIDING HONOR" MEN
(Phoenix Republican,

We have no doubt that as soon as Governor Campbell has put the state prison under new management, all the honor" men will be securely locked up and kept in confinement. The honor" system is said to have worked we'll in some institutions, but the ''honor'' men of the Florence prison have only brought that institu- tion into dishonor.
 We have now the case of two of these 'honor'' individuals who have fled, taking two women with them. And thereby has been disclosed a state of affairs which had long been the scandal of Florence. One of these men enjoyed so great liberty that he was able to buy an automo- bile on the installment plan. He used it great deal in joy riding, we suppose, the gasoline he used came from the states bounteous supply.
 The trouble at Florence has been too great sympathy with criminals; too great adherence to the doctrines that criminals are the victims of en- vironment. There has been too much mawkishness.
 We trust that on the night of Janu- ary 5th, Governor Campbell will not only have selected his warden, but that he will have him at Florence to take over the prison at the ear Hest possible moment, with his staff of clerks and guards, in order that I such ''honor" men as may be there i may be kept there.
