On Sheer Material

Have you ever been discouraged when
making buttonholes in material which
trays out easily? Try the following :
Mark with chalk the place where you
wish, to put the buttonholes, also the
size. Take the garment to place
where machine hemstitching is done
and have them run the machine over
each chalk line. The hemstitching can
then be cut as for picoting and the but

But the evil days came. and they

and voted the Republican ticket

the Republicans into iull control in
Missouri for the first time in fifty
years; they had the governor, a man
named Hyde (and his hide will prob
ably be nailed to the woodshcd door
when the voters get crack at him)
and both houses OF the legislature
One OF the first evil fruits OF this
Republican control was all increase Of
taxes. 1t was done by raising the
assessment rate and it runs all the
way from so to 100 per cent in the
various counties OF the state And,
worst of all. there is absolutely no I'M

Governor Hyde's First Year.

Governor Hyde has the record Ct
haViilg called two extra sessions OF the
legislature and two special elections
during his first year in office. He
also has the record of having boosted
taxes higher than they ever were and
stuffed more people into office thaf,
ever happened before. No doubt had
he not lost control of the senate he
would have worked in another special
session of the legislature during the
first year and found another excuse
Tor an additional special election,
Although the Governor employs con-
yicts for servants at the Executive
Mansion. yet his first year cost the
state for the Mansion more than it
ever cost any other governor. The
up-keep OF the Mansion, however, is
a small matter and may as we'll be dis
missed, for the people are not sitting
As a jury over the extra expenditure
of few thousand dollars.
The enormous increase ic taxes IS
the principal charge against the Gov
esuor and this he cannot successfully
defend. When he was inaugurated he
found full treasury with a surplus

Speeches in Butler.

Wcdnesday. Mrs. Thornton Brown
treasurer Of the Democratic state
committee and Mrs. Martha Taafc, OF

mittce, made addresses to the Demo
cratic men and women OF the county
Notwithstanding the nclement wealth
cr the ladies' were listened to by lair
audiences OF interested men and
women
In the afternoon Mrs. Brown mad.
d speech in which she emphasized the
Importance OF the women doing their
part by going to the polls and voting
ior their choice. Mrs. Brown is one
OF the best posted women in the state
and her speech was logical, convine-
ing and left ITO doubts in the minds OF
her hearers that the Republican party
should be retired from power, both in
the state and nation at the next cleo
ton
Mrs. Taafe is one OF the best known
club women in Missouri and her
speeches are always worth hearing.
She has addressed Bates county audi
ences in the past and has impressed
all az a woman of unusual talents.
The visit of these women to Butler
did much toward soiidifying the SEN
timent of the Democratic women of
the county and showing them the i'm
portsnce of osgani1ing for the cleo
tons this fall.
