~ TRAIGHTLINE dresses are ad-
ding interest to youthful ward
robes this season. The one in
~ the sketch belongs in the be-
tween babyhood and school
age, with some latitude on the last
mentioned, since it makes an excellent
little dress for kindergarten and the
first years of school life.
With its box-plaited treatment back
and front enough fullness is pro-
vided to meet the requirements Of all
active children. This being a dress
to wear Immediately, and throughout
the Winter. the sleeves are made long
and are cuffed with interesting dark
contrast, matching the shaped collar.
The newest clothes for children call
for trimmings very much the same
as are used on dresses for older folks.
Here We have four good-looking
buttons, accenting the important
points of the collar. They are chosen
in a deeper shade than the contrast
ing material, which adds to the
merits of the color scheme, without
entailing extra work on the part of
the maker.
The most interesting materials for
little children of this age are piques,
cotton broadcloth, percale, Bingham,
and cotton mixtures, designed espe-
cially for the very young. All Of these
fabrics come in clear colors, one of
the most popular shades being a
brighter-than navy blue. In some of
the smartest shops we see combina-
lions of it, with red for the trim
ming. 1t is ever so chic, and has the
advantage of not soiling too quickly.
All the green shades are good, too.
Frequently they are seen in a grad
uation Of tones, the darkest usually
being used for the trimming. All
the geranium colors are popular
When the frost is in the air, they
have charm that puts them defini-
tely on the preferred list.

He has a very fine redouble, holding

the bidding, you are under
l severe handicap. You know
~ little or nothing about the
strength of the hands Of the
two other players. Assuming that the
opener has an honest bid, you must
credit him with a certain amount OF
strength. If his partner has the rest,
an overcall may put you at the foot
of the penalty class to the tune Of 700
points or more. Yet you don't like to
sit by tamely and give him monop-

Pacific Coast"
Japan is not entitled, as sensational
headlines now being published there
would indicate that she IS inclined
to do, to look upon these projected
activities of the United States Navy
as hostile or unfriendly. There is
never the slightest disposition in this
country to read ulterior motives into
the operations of the japanese fleet
when it maneuvers from time to time
in the wide Far Eastern waters con-
tiguous to Japan'S islands or her
territory on the mainland of Asia.
Last year the Japanese Navy, under
the personal eye of the Emperor,
carried out the most extensive ma
neuvers in its history. They ranged
as far from purely home waters as
the Bonin Islands, lying to the south
east of Japan in the direction of
Hawaii. 1t did not occur to any
reasonable mind over here that those
activities were anti-American in their
scope or purpose.
Despite sensational Toxic sugges-
tions that the Navy's Alaskan plans
have Japan as their target" it is
to be hoped that saner judgment will
prevail and the maneuvers be recog-
niZed for exactly what they are-no
more and no less-namely, normal
and wholly justifiable training prac-
tice for men and ships in waters
where they have every right and rea-
son to be on the business which will
take them there.

embark upon their campaign for an

OF Men and Not of Laws
To the Editor of The Star:

The Star of the goth reports David
A. Pine. chief assistant United States
attorney, to have said, in his argu-
ment before the District Supreme
Court in the case of w. F. Roberts Co.,
Inc, that "in view Of the existing
emergency all industries are affected
with a public interest and subject to
regulation by Congress under the
police power, even though such regu-
lation would violate the Constitution
in times Of prosperity"
doubt if more astounding state
ment was ever made by q responsible
public official. Had it been uttered at
any other time than the present, when
the whole world is shell shocked, II
would be disregarded as the utterance
of one who was not quite right in his
mind. The public service of the Re-
public of q free people would seem to
be no place for one holding such views,
Was the Constitution made only fol
times of prosperity or Is it entirely
suspended or abrogated by and during
an emergency? It Is either in full
force and effect in all its parts or not
at all, and II Mr.. Pine is correct In
his statement, then there is no Longer
any constitutional guarantee and pro-
lection Of the life, liberty and prop
erty Of the citizen; then, indeed, has
the day Of the despot arrived and
liberty has taken flight from our
country. We now have a government
of men and not of laws, and the

establishment OF the latter has been
in vain.

gressional wisecracker, on hearing of
Mr.. Morgenthau's eleventh-hour as
sent to ''unobtrusive" politics, was
reminded of the fellow who was repri-
manded for lighting a cigarette on
the stage of a theater. The frate
stage manager asked the miscreant if
he couldn't read a sign emblazoned
in plain English: Smoking For

but it doesn't say positively"

of the country reveal some Interest,"
ing kinks in nomenclature. The DEM
ocratic candidate for Governor of
Texas is Alfred. A Democrat named
Ketchem is running for Governor
in Kansas. A Truman is the Demo-
cratic senatorial nominee in Mis-
souri,. Two Democratic Holts are
Virginia and another in North Da-
kota. A Republican Malone aspires
to be Senator from Nevada, a Demo-
cratic Maloney is the senatorial NOM
inee in Connecticut and Democratic
Representative Maloney of Louisiana

Preponderance of Democratic votes
over Republican and Progressive bal
lots in the Wisconsin primaries whets
the desire of some Democratic leaders
to throw the full strength of the party,
administration and otherwise, behind
the candidacy of the Democratic sena-
torial nominee, John M. Callahan,
rather than that of Senator Robert M.
La Toilette, Progressive. You will hear
it said that President Roosevelt at
Green Bay, Wis, in August did not
actually ''indorse" the La Toilette
candidacy, but confined himself to
a gracious tribute of gratitude for

legislation. Wisconsin Democrats,
having bagged one senatorship in 1892,
are hell-bent to make clean sweep
this year, when they believe that
conditions give them another chance.

that Democratic Governor increased

years ago, when the Democrats elected
a Governor and carried two of the
three congressional districts, the vote
was taken as q clear indication of the
popular dissatisfaction with prevailing
Republican policies. Now it is made
evident that Maine Republicans are
not yet ready to repudiate the New

1916 and carried the State six years
ago by $4,000, had his majority re-
duced to q few hundred votes"

asks: "Who ever heard of. anybody's

the Milwaukee Journal, appears to
have been misdirected in Maine, the
very citadel of Republicanism; there

of such misdirected efforts in other
States More sensible would be a
realization that if you're going after
voters, you ought to have something. II
