HERE'S WHAT'S RIGHT
IN COLOR THEMES

In colors for day Wear the leaders,
both in silk and in wool fabrics,
are the entire scale of brown, navy,
and black, combined with white Or
with scarlet. A big movement for
the scale Of blue is indicated in
favor evinced for the dark shades
Of navy as well as the brighter
shades of Chinese blue. Green's are
favored in the duh shades of olive.
Sage green's are neglected.
Scarlet has very large use for en-
tire dresses for sport wear, as well
as in combination with black or
with white.
Plaids are good in silks as we'll
as III woolens, i'll two and three tone
effects, rather than in brilliant col
or contrasts.
For evening wear black, pink and
yellow lead, followed by turquoise
and Chinese blue.
In metals, gold is replacing silver.

examination of the rates on sixty ar

whole they were practically identical
with the rates on the same articles in
the Fordney-McCumber Act of 1922.
Addressing the House of Represent
atives on May 10th, 1890, in behalf Of
the Mckinley Bill, LaFollette said:
Repeal the protective duties and
you have stopped the looms, put out
the fires, stunted as with the, hand
of death the busy industries of my
state. +. 1t is to preserve the mar
kets of this country to our own pro-
ducers that we have kept the duties
like breastwork, high enough to pro-
tect the man who is busy adding to
the sum of it's wealth from assault
from any foreign source"
Then in a speech he delivered at
the Schlitz Park Theatre, Milwau-
kee, on September 20, 1900, LaFoIlette
justified the American declaration OF
war against Spain and the annexation
of conquered territory He advocated
the use Of American troops to put
down insurrection in the eastern hem
isphere and vigorously assailed all the
critics Of the administration. At that
time LaFollette was making his first
race for governor.
In denouncing the Bryan proposal
to establish a stable government in
the Philippines and then withdraw,
LaFollette entered into the following
.eulogy of American Imperialism:
"The market which the Philippines
will afford the U. S. while amounting
Ito many millions annually, is unim-

bankers against this tax, but this
protest came AAiefly and especially
from the smaller banks"

And on August 10, 1911 LaFollette,
in making a plea to the senate for

manufacturing group on the part OF
LaFollette is displayed in the follow
ing comment on his amendment to the
schedules on wool under considers
tion in the action on the tariff meas
ure before the senate on June TO-
1909:
"The great manufacturers have
their rights, which should be duly re
garded. l would not disparage the
men who are manufacturing under
this wool schedule. :.
"The position on the carded wool
industry is such as to invite the earn,
est attention of congress. 1t is the
last branch of the wool industry which
is still accessible to the man with
moderate capital. With the Amer
lean Wooden Company in control of
about sixty percent of the output of
American wooden cloth, and with the
independent manufacturers of worsted
cloth organizing into another combina-
ton, the carded wool industry, ac-
cords the only chance for the small
manufacturer"
Similar solicitousness in behalf of
the capitalist class was manifested by
LaFollette when he voted on October
10, 1921 to provide for free tolls, free
transit for American ships thru the
Panama Canal.

HUNTySA
WASHINGTON (E MIMI
ER54
BP HARRY B. HUNT
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, June 4.-July 4
may take on a new significance in
our national life after this year.
To date, our histories record July
as chiefly notable because it
marks the anniversary Of the siga-
ing of the Declaration oee lndepen-
dence back in '76.
Future historians, however, may
feel impelled to add to this that it is
also the anniversary of the birth If
Calvin Coolidge, twenty-ninth presi-
dent of the United States, should
Coolidge run true to his lucky stars
and be returned to the White House
for another historic four years.
Failing this July may find still
another claim to commemoration IN
the meeting at Cleveland, o., en-
that date, this year, of the "Con-
ference for Progressive Political
Action"
1t is at this conference that any
really aggressive program for indie
pendent or third party activity will
be developed. Here, after Repubi-
cans and Democrats have picked
their candidates and written their
platforms, Robert Marion La Fol
lette of Wisconsin and his followers
will determine on the course they
are to pursue.
Will July 4, 1924, take place
alongside July 4, 1916, as mile
stone in American history as re-
suit of the Cleveland conference?
Should La Toilette candidacy be
decided on at that time and should
such candidacy catch public favor
even to the extent of deadlocking
the election of both old party candi-
dates, the train of events which
could conceivably follow might do
more to shape the future of this
government than anything which has
happened since the original July 4sh
Declaration.
That La Toilette will lead an indie
pendent ticket, in an attempt to
elect a progressive group which will
hold the balance of power in the
next Congress and put the choice for
president in the balance, is now ac-
cepted here as certain.
His letter of May 27, washing his
hands of the Farmer-Labor conven-
ton June II, in which communistic
elements have gained footing, and
his challenge to both old parties that
"a long-suffering and righteously
indignant people will find in the
coming campaign effective means,
independent Of both these old par
ties, to take back control of their
government" is taken as Indicating
his willingness to lead the fight.
Offsetting July as date for tie
Coolidge and La Toilette followers
to conjure with, Democrats present
that of June "a, when the New York
gathering convenes as one of favor
able and hopeful portent.
