attractive possibilities Of this
dress Of fine cotton crepe in cream
color, beaded with rows Of yellow
bada, and then decorated with
yellow, orange, and brown beads.
The wsist-line decoration is fur
ther enhanced by q droopy brown
velvet-ribbon bow. One does not
analyze, just admires so pretty a
dreas, yet. one must realize how
the beads with their weight will
make the dress more wearable and
becoming.
The color variation takes the
dress entirely out of the ordinary
aud the handwork makes it a pre-
eious dress to possess. Yet it is
~ simple ~ it's attractive, the
dress itself being straight in regu-

No Guide But Conscience


a matters now stand tho sky is the limit
"a OF expenditures that candidates for the
United States Senate may make to secure
either nomination or election to that branch
of Congress. The same applies to candi-
dates for the House in tho nominating pri-
meries, the only restriction imposed on them
being tho requirement that they shall file
an expense statement at the general cleo
ton.
This is the substance Of an opinion by At
torney-General DauSherty in respect to the
bearing of the Supreme Court decision in the
Newberry case on the corrupt practices act.
The Newherry decision. says the Attorney
General, invalidatcd all OF the provisions OF
the corrupt practices act relating to nomi-
nations OF candidates for Senate and Rep
rescnative; that the only remaining re-
Quirement upon candidates for the House is
that they shall file an expense statement
at election and that candidates FOR Senator
need make no accounting whatever, either
in connection with nomination or election.
There seems reason to doubt the
sOundnesS OF the Attorney-General's opinion
constituting the effect of the Supreme Court
decision on tho act in question. 1t practi-
cally let's all the bars down for turning loose
slush funds in campaigns for tho Offices
mentioned in as large amounts as may be
necessary to influence the result of the cleo
tions. This is day Of political ambition

uation, which is an open temptation to cor
rupt the electorate Senator Pomerene of

resolution amending tho rules OF the Sen

gotten him, practically speaking; and It is
certain that the public felt no further In
terest IN him until his name oame from the
executive Office. But his sudden emergence
as the nominee for Federal Office OF trust
fully warranted the inspection of his rec
ord. and that inspection fully warranted the
opposition which at once arose in tho Sem
ate. Mr. Goldstein's connection with the
Lowden campaign could hardly have been
ignored. That $2,500 check did not repre-
sent an overwhelming sum OF money, per-
haps, but It's acceptance did represent q
noteworthy piece OF indiscretion-to state
the matter mildly. Formor Governor Low
den himself declares that Goldstein Is "un-
fit" to BIO collector.
The President Numbered in presenting
Goldstons nane. and apparently had made
up his mind to perpetuate tho blunder by
insisting upon confirmation. The nominees
letter offers the opportunity for grace
full escape on tho part Of the administration.
1t should be accepted-if only to save Mr.
Goldstein's tender feelings from further
abuse.
