BRITISH FARMERS
WEARING SILK
HATS AND SPATS
Morning Coats and LimOuSineS
Are Also Part of Their
Modern Equipment.

LONDON. Jan THE 81 saut
farmer has come to town.
He created a sensation az Isirs
ton the other afternoon when he
drove up 90 the Agricultural hall in
9 deeply cushioned limousine. at
tired In "a glossy top hat. morning
coat and dove-colored spats The
fact that his mutton-chop whiskers
sill grew unchecked on his cheeks
and his spats looked wrinkled and
and uneasy on a pair Of size IL
boots constructed more for durabilt-
~ than for shapliness, did not ia
am way rob him Of that air OF
gentiIity that has replaced the bluff
heartiness Of the English farmer.
When he raised his hat 10 com
misgiOnnaire his courtesy was re-
esived with a bow and "A bashful
smile. When he met a cattle col
league. no less elegant than him
self, he Geftly removed a lemon
covered glove and held horny
hand high 10 be shaken; when he
asked with a broad East-Auglain &C
cent. us this yere steer for sale2''
people wondered who the eccentric
millionaire was and how he made
mis- money
His Friends "Drcssy," Too.
His friends too. from all the broad
shires of England were distinctly
"dressy." and it was an reminder
OF Piccadilly in the days OF Cham
payne Charlie"
The adoption of top hats and
morning coats. however. has not de-
prived them of their professional
zeal.
They were just as enthusiastic
over fat oxen i'm their broadcloth as
they were in their homespun. and
many bulgings steer. already
breathless with ovcr-indulgence.
sasped pitifully when one Of these
gentlemen farmers administered the
Carpenter knockout blow.
Neither did their kid gloves pre-
vent them from tickling the sleepy
sheep. nor did their speckless trou-
sers deter them from dashing in
among the gently snoring swine and
lunging at them with their UNI
brellas TO see how fat they were.
Really. they are just as apple
checked and heartily as they we're
before the price OF milk went up.
but prosperity has given them new
glad rage. and who shall deny
them?
Costly Present Not Unusual
Unwonted top hats and morning
coats are plentiful in London today.
A present costing 500 pounds to
75O pounds was not altogether "a
novelty this Christmas. either
We have just mad an order for
a dressing table set done in copper
inlaid with jewels the monogram
on the articles being worked out in
diamonds and opals." said the man
ager or a Regent street jewellery
firm.
The set costs nearly 500 pounds
and the girl who is gettinE it has
slubbed all her Christmas together
20 buy this one thing which she has
wanted all her life"
This. OF course was an eXcep-
tional gift. but there is mo doubt that
che general public spent lavishly,
perhaps I'm the spirit OF celebrating
the peace year at the appropriate
season OF peace The merchants
themselves were surprised az the eX-
travagsnt spirit OF the Christmas
shoppers

welfare, be dealt with on reasonable
and sound business principles. II
remains now to give the new system
= fair trial.
Not only is the transportation act
now on trial, Mr. Thorn declares, but
also the interstate commerce COM
mission, organized labor. the various
state commissions and the carriers
themselves.
THE carriers are on trial, because
an effort has been made to extend to
them help OF a substantial character
in the performance Of their public
duties, and public opinion will hold
them to strict accountability for
the fidelity and efficiency with which
these duties are performed"
The carriers, Mr.. Thorn added.
must be keenly alive to their own
responsibilities, and must rise to the
level OF their enlarged opportunities
and view their obligations from the
standpoint Of the public right and
welfare.

The PHYSICAL CON-
DlTION OF THE
pBFelQrNT

Two slngularly dIscrepant state
ments about Mr.. Wilson's health
found circul-tion recently. They
were both attributed TO persons who
ought to know the truth.
In despatch from London Am
bassador Davis who has just return
ed to his post of duty after a visit
TO this country, is reported as saying
that the president lis much scker
than any person has believed" Fur
thermore President Wilson fully re-
allies he is not able to participate
any longer in politics" The cabled
report OF Ambassador Davis's alleged
utterances ends with the entirely
credible announcement that Mr.. Will
son plans to retire to an estate near
Washington when his term expires
and spend his time in writing"
We are inclined to doubt that the
Ambassador has been understood
clearly or reported accurately by the
author OF this pessimistic bulletin.
In the first place Mr.. John w.
Davis is naturally so discreet per-
son and so thoroughly in sympathy
with the efforts of the Presidents
immediate encourage to maintain q
cheerful prognosis, in and out Of the
White House, that he would scarcely

50 disturbing an announcement. II
IL were quite true that Mr.. Wilson is
sicker than any person has believed
and IL NJ. Davis knew II to be true
he would nevertheless be likely to
leave 1t to Admiral Grayson TO pro
claim the circumstance.
In the r. oond place there comes
swiftly on the heels of the London
desp>. CHI n positive denial from Bain
bridge Colby that the President
condition is such as to warrant the
apprehensions suggested by that re-
port. The seer arg of state is per-
sonally close to Mr.. Wilson and pre-
sumably in FREQ mt intercourse with
him. 1t was OF = recently that with
other members the administration
Mr. Colby sat the cabinet table
with Mr.. Wilson presiding. Mr.. Col
by does not mer ly discredit Gas we
have done) the authenticity of the
Davis interview. He goes further,
and expresses the opinion that "the
President is steadily gaining" II
happen to know" he adds. "Presi-
dent Wilson's condition is a source
OF satisfaction to his friends and his
gain in health for some months past
has been steady and unobstructed."
Both in respect OF relative credi-
bility and because It wants to hear
good news Of Mr.. Wilson's health We
prefer to accept the secretary's state
ment rather than that attributed to
the ambassador. An overwhelming
Of our fellow citizens have
just pronounced against Mr.. Wilson's
administration and many OF the Will
sonian policies and deeds. But there
cannot be any American worthy Of
a moments consideration who would
