TAFFETTA AND LACE.
A smart taffeta frock on clean-cut
smart lines and resulting simplicity
is shown in this sketch. This design
is delightfully becoming to a slender
figure which though considered so
desirtble from a fashionable stand
point often leaves much to be desired
in the - matter of grace and propor
tion. Lace is judiciously applied on
body and sleeves and the mousse-line
tucker is girlishly becoming. The
bib and point on the skirt are of the
green taffeta embroidered in self-tone
silk. Into this point the skirt is drap
ed, from thence to the hem the skirt
is buttoned with silk buttons.
ROOSEVELT PLANS
FIGHT TO Fl
(Continued from page 1)
the people may rectify this alleged de
fect in their constitution by a popular
vote having all the force of a consti
tutional amendment.
"I am well aware," said the colonel
"that every upholder of privilege,
every hired agent or beneficiary of
the special interests, including many
well meaning parlor reformers, will
denounce all this as anarchy and so
cialism the same terms, they used in
the past to denounce the movements
to control the railways a:id control
public utilities. As a matter of fact,
the propositions I make constitute
neither anarchy nor socialism, but, on
the contrary, are a corrective for so
cialism and an antidote for anarchy."
He demanded regulation of the
trusts. He said that the present condi
tions of business could noi. be accept
ed as sit'sfactory, the reason- being
thiit those dealing with the subjects
haiT t'ivided into two camps- the "lie
fixing i:s attentio-n only cij the aeed

niiia- ? their c i'.lrym3:i bel'w" -Lti
e '.11 (-r axing i's ..Uentiou upon the
injustice of the distribution of pros
perity. "The - Republicans favor big busi
ness," said Roosevelt "while the Dem
ocrats would abolish all business of
any size or efficiency, holding that,
bigness is badness and that littleness
and weaknes are signs of virtue." He
advocated the naming of a national
Industrial commission for the regula
tion of big business.
,!TDnly in this way can there be
avoided,' he said "such gross scandals
as those attendant upon the present
administration's prosecution of the
Standard Oil and the Tobacco trust,
a prosecution which has merely re
sulted in increased prices to the pub
lic, injury to the small competitor,
and actual financial benefit to the
trusts themselves."
The colonel proposed several spe
cific methods for preserving and im
proving "our human resources and,
therefore, our labor power." He held
that wage scales and other labor da
ta should be made public; all deaths,
injuries and diseases due to industrial
operations should be established in
the nation and states to determine
the minimum wage scale in different
industries ;the federal government
should investigate all industries with
a view to establishing standards of
sanitation and safety; there should
be mine and factory inspection ac
cording to standards fixed by inter
state agreement by the federal gov
ernment; national and state legisla
tion should establish standards of
compensation for industrial accidents
and deaths and. for diseases clearly
due to industrial conditions; the ad
option by law of a fair standard of
compensation for casualties resulting

fatally which shall clearly fix the
minimum compensation in all cases;
the monetary equivalent -of a living
wage varies according to local condi
tions, but should be sufficiently high
to make morality possible and to pro
vide for education, recreation, proper
care of the children, maintenance dur
ing sickness, and reasonable saving
for old age; excessive hours of labor
snould be prohibited for all wage
workers, and night labor for women
and children should be forbidden;
one day of rest in seven should be
provided by law; continuous 24 hour
labor should be divided into thret
shifts of eight hours by law, tenement
house manufacture should be entirely
prohibited, and labor camps should
oe subject to government sanitary re
gulation; all industries employing wo
men and children should be specially
subject to government inspection and
regulation; insurance funds against
sickness .accident, invalidism, and old
age should be established by a charge
either in whole or part upon the in
dustries; the suffrage should be
granted to women, if for no other rea
son, to enable working women to com
bine for their own protection by the
use of the ballot."
"I believe in a protective tariff,"
argued the colonel, "but I believe in
it as a principle approached from a
standpoint of the interests of the peo
standpoint of the interest of the
whole people, and. not as a bundle of
preferences to be given favorite in
dividuals. It is not merely the tariff
that should be revised but the method
of tariff-making and of tariff adminis
tration. The first steps should be the
creation'of a permanent commission
of nonpartisan experts, a comission
of ample powers to secure exact and
reliable information. ' The present
tariff board is entirely inadequate in
point of powers reposed in it and
scope of work undertaken.
He said that a tariff for revenue on
ly as proposed by the Democrats,
would plunge this country into the
most wide-spread industrial depres
sion ever seen.
Advocating first a "fearless, intelli
gent and searching investigation," in
to the high cost of living, Roosevelt
urged knock down prices.
Taking up the currency, Roosevelt
held that the present system is un
scientific and that more elasticity
was needed; he reaffirmed his policies
on conservation and urged immediate
development of Alaska. The Panama
canal should be free to coastwise ves
sels of the American marine, said the
colonel. '
Summing up his points, Roosevelt
concluded: "I believe in a larger use
of the governmental power to help
remedy industrial wrongs, because
it has been borne in on me by actual
experience that, without the exercise
of such power, many of the wrongs,
will go unremedied. I believe in a.
large opportunity for the people them
selves directly to participate in gov
ernment and to control their govern
mental agents, that without such con
trol many of their agents will repre
sent them badly. By actual experi
ence in office Ihave found that, as a
rule, I could secure the triumph of the
causes in which I most believed, not
from the politicians' and the men who
claim an exceptional rigbr to speak
in business and government, but by
going over their heads and appealing
directly to the people themselves. I
am not under the slightest delusion
as to any power that during my polit
ical career I have at any time posses
sed. Whatever of power I at any time
had, I obtained from the people. I
could exercise it only so long as, and
to the extent that, the people not
merely believed in me, but heartily
backed me up. Whatever I did as
president I was able to do only be
cause I had the backing of the peo
ple. When on any point I did not
have that backing, when on any point
I differed from the people, it mattered
not whether I was right or whether
I was wrong, my power vanished. I
tried my best to lead the people, to
advise them, to tell them what I
thought was right; if necessary, I
never hesitated to tell them what I
thought they ought to hear, even
though I thought it would be unpleas
ant for them to hear it; but I recog
nized that my task was to try to lead
them and not to drive them, to take
them into my confidence, to try to
show them that I was right, and then
loyally, and in good faith, to accept
their decision. I will do anything for
the people except what my conscience
tells me is wrong, and that I can do
for no man and no set of men; I hold
that a man cannot serve the people
well unless he serves his conscience;
but I hold also that where his con
science bids him refuse to do what
the people desire, he should not try
to continue in office against their will
Our government system should be so
shaped that the public servant, when
he cannot conscientiously carry out
the wishes of the people, shall at their
desire leave his office and not misrep
resent them in office; and I hold that
the public servant can by so doing
better than in any other way, serve
both them and his conscience.
"Surely there never was a fight bet
ter worth making than the one. in.
which we are engaged. It CTTle mat-

for the time being stand in the fore

lose, we shall not falter." ,

Angrily the woman walked across
the floor while tn"e shoemaker listened
to her unmusical trend.
"You hear that?" she said. "Creak,
creak all the time. The shoes will

money back?"
"I'm afraid I can't do that." he said,
"but I'll tell you what 1 will -do. I
will take one of those shoes back and
give you another that will squeak in
tune with the one you have left." New
York Press.
Paid For the Opinion.
Shortly after Chief Justice Purley of
the court of appeals of New Hamp
shire had retired from the bench and
resumed the practice of his profession
a man called on him to get his opinion
in a certain matter. After stating his
case clearly- he said. "Well. judgev
what do you think of my case?" The
judge promptly replied. "I think you
are a scoundrel." "How much do I
owe you for that opinion?" inquired
the client. "Ten dollars." demanded
the Judge. The fee was promptly paid.

DEMAND FOR HOPS
The demand for hops, for the time
appears to have all but disappeared.
At eighteen cents, which now, is gen
erally regarded as the limit on 1912s
buyers are not attempting to do much
in the way of business with the grow
ers, few orders now coming that
would permit of trade at that or any
other figure. In hop circles the be
lief is more or less, general that the
market will go to a. still lower level.
On the other hand, the producers
are said to be more disposed to sell
their coming crops than was the case
a week ago, and their attitude natur
ally tends further to depress the mar
ket. It is. reported that if dealers
were in a position to take hold in a
liberal way a very considerable por
tion of the crop could be taken over
on short notice as a result of the
change of feeling that has developed
among the growers within the past
week or two. '
In Colifornia the weakness of the
market is reported to be still more
pronounced, the growers, there in
many cases showing a decided dispo
sition to sell ahead, and in that way
weakening their own market, while
the buyers are held in check by the
low prices obtainable and the gener
al slackness of the demand.
, What is true of 1912s is no less
true of last year's growth. For 1911s
there is now little" demand in any
quarter. In Oregon old hops are said
to l3e pretty well cleaned up, while
in California there are still some
of the large holdings of last year's
crop. These the owners are making
every effort to unload.
In general it is the size of the pros
pective crop ,in this country and else
where, that is responsible for the eas
ing of the market. In practically all
the "producing countries of the world
the outlook is for a liberal output of
good grade hops and the market is
governed accordingly.
