- : T . , (Los Angeles Times)
Gifford Pinchot's victory in the Republican primaries in
Pennsylvania has caused some rejoicing in circles that were
formerly Progressive and some consternation. Pinchpt was
one of those who fought at Armageddon; but for the last six
years he has been enrolled in the regular Republican ranks.
: r. Following Beveridge's success in Indiana, the advent of
Pinchot has set political tongues wagging. While neither of
the two is an antiadministration man. they both lack what
is commonly termed party regularity. The split in the party
of 1912 has been healed, with the millions who. voted for
Roosevelt back in the Republican ranks, and it is but natural
that their influence should be felt in Republican primaries.
As far as national politics is concerned the results in
' Pennsylvania and Indiana are very discouraging for the Dem
ocratic leaders. They have been charging that the Republi
can party is hopelessly reactionary, that it is wholly under
boss domination and that the Democratic party offers the
only hope for" escape from tyrannical partisan rule. But their
argument flattens out like a bullet against a rock when con-
enemies have never charged with being reactionary.
The election prove at least that the. Republican party is
; not static, that it is representative of the whole membership
and not of a few leaders or bosses. With the passing of
Knox and renrose in Pennsylvania the regular Kepublican
organization was left without a leaderT Three or four lieu
tenants were fighting for the supreme command, and it was
against this divided house that Pinchot, who has always been
popular in the country districts, scored a victory.
The election is without national significance, because the
two Senatorial nominees are regular Republicans and will
work in perfect harmony with the Harding administration.
Pinchot's running mate for the Senate was badly beaten.
Raymond G. Carroll, Washington correspondent for a
group of former Progressive newspapers, wires that "Already
there is talk of the mantle of Roosevelt having at length fall
en Upon an heir after the Bull Moose chieftain's own heart."
It would be interesting to know the comment of the senior
Senator from California on reading that .sentiment. It re
calls the remark of Montaigne that "when two. men ride an
ass one must sit behind." ( T .
If the Roosevelt mantle has finally fallen on one of Roose
velt's' choice, where has it been for the last six years? Has
it been, used as a mask by some impostor? If Pinchot, is to
be the recognized leader of the former Progressive forces
possibly their candidate for the Republican nomination for
President uvl924 what is to become of the political ambi
tions of Senator Johnson? Has he been definitely discarded
by those from whom he was supposed to draw his chief sup-
wholly responsive to the will of the electorate. If Pinchot's
victory means the elimination of Johnson, all good R&publi
cans have reason to rejoice. For both Pinchot and Beveridge
are assets to the Republican party, while Johnson is a
liability. . ...
DELAY, NOT HASTE, "INDECENT"
Democratic leaders are now accusing the Republican ma
jority in Congress of "indecent haste" in pressing the pass
age of a protective tariff law. It has been nineteen months
since the American people voted into power a party pledged
to repeal the existing Democratic tariff law, which has
brought unemployment to millions. If the Democratic poli
ticians would accuse Congress of "indecent delay" in com
plying with that mandate the charge would have a better
chance of sticking. The filibuster now being conducted by
Senate Democrats against carrying out the expressed wish
of the American people in the enactment of a tariff law is
one of the most discreditable in all the history of Congress, viewpoint
The voters of this country will have opportunity to express
their disapproval of such efforts to thwart the will of the
people, at the polls in November.
port? It will be interesting to observe what sort of per-'
formance he will give as player of the second violin. If the
comments from Washington are founded on fact, it looks
very much as though the California Senator has been reduced
to the ranks.
As long as the former Progressives give loyal support to
the candidates who win in the Republican primaries there
is no reason for any Republican to be disturbed by the oc
casional party triumph of one of their number. To be rep
resentative the Republican party must be the voice of jts
combined elements. There is no desire either to ostracize
or to humiliate any of the former Progressive leaders, so
long as their loyalty is above suspicion. Anfi neither Pinchot
nor Beveridge has been guilty of the treachery displayed
by Johnson in 1916. Such campaigns as those in Pennsyl
vania and Indiana do not indicate that the Republican party
is weakening or breaking up into factions, but that it is j incorporation has expended some
$G8,ouu,;uu. upon its own land
alone it has placed 54,000 settlers.
Hut this is far from enough. Hun
dreds of thousands of newcomers
must be there if the productive
possibilities of the unoccupied
territory are to be fully utilized.
While this latest appeal for im
migrants is to be nominally cos
mopolitan in scope, naturally
there is a choice involved. Immi
grants from Great Britain are
especially desired. Danes, Swedes,
Norwegians, Austrians, Hungari
ans and Germans have gone to
Canada and made good. All
these nationalities are heartily
invited. But most desirable of
all newcomers, from the Canadian
are those from across
the country's southern border.
The welcoming hand has been
extended for years to Americans,
and many Americans have sought
homes in Canada.
In the fiscal year ended June
30, 1921, more than 100.000 per
sons officially described as emi
grants left the United States
How many of these went to Can
ada is uncertain. The records
show that many American farmers
who go over the border to settle
do not remain there. A fair per-
centage do stick, however, some
retaining their American citizen
ship and some becoming British
subjects. Yet the movement as
a whole never became formidable
It settled down to a migratory
swaying to and fro that left no
deep impression on either side of
the line.
With this latest Canadian ef
fort to induce immigration, thera
will be cordial sympathy on this
side of the line. Canada's pros
perity and our own are so closely
linked together that whatever
promotes the one must in the end
promote the other. ,

CREPE PAPER MILLINERY

"Most any girl looks good In a
. poke bonnet, "especially when, she
wears it with one of those quaint,
frilly summer dresses, or a pretty,
bright gingham.' A bonnet ot
crepe'paper is .simple to make and
there -are so many colors that it
can be worked out In. - '
, For foundation, get a back
ram shape In Poke style. Or you
might have about the house an old
buckram frame that can be trim
med to the shape shown in the-illustration.
Besides the frame, you
need one fold of crepe paper and
three and a half yards of picot
ribbon. ':'
. ? Staking the Brim1 i
1 Cut a strip' of crepe paper the
length of the outer - sdge of the
brim, allowing enough to turn
under. Fold this piece through the
-eenter, as In figure I, and, start
ing at the back of the frame,
stretch it ever' and ' under the
brim. Sew these edges In firmly
(see figure 8). t: I .-J
' -A pretty J finish may be! made
for this hat by sewing around the
edge of the brim with a heavy silk
thread in the shade you wish to
trim the hat. A blanket stitch
may be used. .
To make' the crown, cut strips
two Inches wide and fold in the
center. In order to cut the strips
straight, use the edge of the fold
er for a guide and cut through the
whole fold at once.
Finishing the Crown '
Starting at the bottom of the
crown and allowing each fold to
J overlap the preceding one; sew the
strips with a long darning, stitch
to the' buckram shape, exactly as
shown in figure 3. Use the same
thread as used in decorating the
edge of the brim. - In order to
splice a strip, slip one fold inside
of the other. , i
Having finished the brim' and
the crown, stitch' them firmly to
gether with a heavy thread. The
place - where they are joined to
gether is covered by the picot rib
bon, which is looped up into a
bow in the .back, with the loops
and ends falling - down over the
brim to form streamers.
Before putting on the ribbon,
however, you should coat the hat
with liquid varnish r as check or
crystaline, if you wish to be sure
that your hat will last a long time.
However,' that is not necessary, for
if you have drawn the crepe paper
on snugly and sewed it firmly, you
will find that your paper hat is
far from being as fragile as it
looks.

The hat from which the illus
tration was made is of white crepe

stitching to match. It would also
