HEAVY RAINS MAKE

go the limit and demand out and out
repeal of the eighteenth amendment,
the issue in the campaign will be:
Shall there be return OF the saloon
The Republican proposed amendment
TO the Constitution does everything that
a straight out repeal of the eighteenth
amendment would do except that it
makes il possible for Congress always
TO prevent the saloon. If repeal is the
course followed instead. any individual
State that desired could permit the
opening of the saloon.
The extent of the WetneSS of the Re-
publican proposal in the party platform
is the amazing thing. 1t was forced. in
part. by the great wave of repeal"
sentiment that swept over the delegates.
A change of 105 votes from support Of
the revision amendment to the repeal
side would have given victory to the
Bingham plank
remarkable picture was presented
in the night session of the convention
on the liquor plank Not bone" dry
speaker was heard. not a champion Of
retaining the eighteenth amendment
and the Volstead act as they now stand.
There was no Borah here to lead the
way. The dry organization made no
fight on the floor. except and unless
they sought to bring about adoption Of
the revision plank as against repeal. A
proposal advanced by the drys limiting
the plank TO law enforcement would
have been so Overwhelmingly beaten
that the drys could not have afforded
such a devastating defeat.
Chairman Smell handled difficult
situation admirably. He was firm but
he never lost his smile.
Provision of Platform.
1t says:
I'VE. therefore. believe that the people
should have an opportunity to pass upon
a proposed amendment to the provision
of which, while retaining in the Fed
eral Government power TO preserve TIE
gains already made in dealing with the
evils inherent in the liquor traffic shall
allow States to deal with the problem as
their citizens may determine. but sub
ject always to the power of the Federal
Government to protect those States
where prohibition may exist and safe
guard our citizens everywhere from the
return Of the saloon and attendant
abuses.
Such an amendment should be
promptly submitted to the States by
Congress. to be acted upon by State
pose in accordance with the provisions
of article V of the Constitution, and
adequately safeguarded so as to be truly
representative"
The Republican party has made its
decision. 1t is going into the coming
national campaign backing this pro-
poSal for revision CT the national prohi-
bition amendment The Democrats
may adopt still wetter plank in their
platform when they meet here next
week If many of the Democratic lead
ers haYe their way, the party will de-
clare for straightout repeal, much as
the minority plank presented by Senator
Bingham provided.
What the drys in the Republican
party will do and what the G. o. P.
vets will do under the circumstances is
still to be determined. The dry organ
izations of the country are considering
a meeting after the Democratic con-
vention shall have been held to deter
mine their course in the campaign. So
are the wet organizations.

REDS THIS YEARS
FAVORITE COLORS

Reds that are bright and light are
this years most successful clothes
cOlors.
Scarlet seems to be the favOrite
right now Yellowish reds appear in
bathing suits and evening clothes,
mostly. The reds used for sports
clothes and daytime dresses and suits
are usually darker, and less elemen-
tary. Wine reds and brownish reds
are beginning to appear iii daytime
clothes, and are listed at the top of
forecasted colors for fall.
Red-with-color as fashion scheme
takes many new forms this year.
Along the Riviera there are many ex-
amples of the type of color combining
that Paris favors right now-two vari-
atoms of the same color used togeth-
err as if they were two different colors.
Thus orangy red will serve as trim
ming, via a scarf, on dress OF
maroon; geranium red is combined
with scarlet; purplish and reddish
reds are worn together.
There Is. of course, more red and
white than any other combination.

hickory tree waited and watched.
Presently Rattles darted out and down,
dived into the Smiling Pool and came
up with another little fish. just as be-
fore, he paused for moment In mid
air. and flew away down the Laughing
Brook. Peters heels fairly itched to
follow along the bank. but he waited
and tried to be patient. After while
back came Rattles and did the same
thing all over again.
The last doubt in Peters mind van
ished. Rattles was taking those fish
to his children just as Welcome Robin
takes worms to his children, and those
children were somewhere down the
Laughing Brook, and not so very far
judging by the short time it took Rat
ties to go and come. He, Peter. would
go down the Laughing Brook little
way and hide where he could watch
Rattles as he passed back and forth.
He would find out that secret from
Rattles himself. So the next time
Rattles disappeared with little fish,
Peter kicked up his heels and scam
pered along the bank down the Laugh
ing Brook to look for a new hiding
place.

persistent call from the cotton field as
it echoes throughout all fashionland
is real news. Riding habit makers
are laying great stress on new
durene material which closely resem-
bles the very fine ribbed fabrics we
used to see in the smartest English
riding clothes. The durene cord
ribbed habit shown in the picture Is
styled with breeches or jodphurs &C
cording to preference. Sleeveless
jackets such as tops this suit are quite
the thing this summer. The pert
little hat is made of the same durene
material which is equally chic in
"dirty white" sand, Egyptian white
or brown. With the first three black
boots are good style.
Ship a-hoy for summer, 1892, is
what the outfit worn by the seafaring
lady standing to the left in the pie

be ever so nautical to all appearance
in these durene mesh pajamas and
never leave the beach. They have
their own anchor appliqued as you see

fasten a veritable first officers double
breasted jacket. The new shorter
trouser length here advocated makes
it possible to stroll along the sand
without stumbling, as contrast to
last years versions.
