thing, and naturally the colonel kicks against anything
that would reflect on his action in the case. It is a notor
ious fact that the United States gave Colombia dirt in that
deal, and while money given her as a. sop may be foolish
and uncalled for, that being a matter of opinion, it is cer
tain that we owe her an apology. Whether we owe her
anything tangible for taking her territory, the Panama
canal zone, away from her, is a question of international
ethics.

AMERICAN FASHIONS FOR AMERICAN WOMEN.
THE General Federation of Women's Clubs at their bi
ennial session in Chicago has given its serious at
tention to the problem of the clothes that American
women today are wearing; and the resolutions di
rected against indecorous vagaries of fashion by the as
sembled delegates represent the protest of 400,000 club
women throughout the country.
The woman who feels bound to follow every change of
fashion the Rue de la Paix wishes to enforce can give her
mind to little else. Many sudden and radical changes are
dictated, neither by artistic sense nor fitness, but by the
mere desire of gain. The French designer laughs in his
sleeve when he sees how easy it is to sell to an American
market what his aristocratic clientele at home would re
ject. Following the fashions is in itself a profession. A wo
man's whole time may easily be occupied with planning
what to wear, having it made and rehearsing the effect
of it in Peacock alley. Does it not seem a low order of
intellect that is content to don striking changes of cos
tume merely to attract notice? When a woman wears
ballroom cosmetics, blazing jewelry and French heels in
the public highway in broad day it may be supposed that
she realizes her paucity of any but these tawdry attrac
tions. It is a confession that such gorgeous plumage is
the whole allurement; that these decorations for which
the world has been ransacked are without the charm of
personality to support them. Who has not seen highly
unattractive women loaded with cosmetics, costly fabrics
and precious stones, as though to create envy where they
know they cannot win admiration?

That baby parade did not have any of the earmarks of
hard times, psychological or other. The streets blocked
with autos were another indication that'Salem folks are
not suffering.
Colonel Roosevelt says if Perkins is forced out of the

One of the delightful features of the Cherry Fair was
one that was not here. It was that there were no political
candidates on hand to make non-political speeches.

Masculinism Makes Home
Mere Appendage
of Man
By Mrs. CHARLOTTE PERKINS
OILMAN, Sociologist
TOO much masculinism has had
a very damaging effect on
civilization. It has kept wo
man down. It has overloaded the
child's natural growth with an at
mosphere of dominance belonging
to the masculine point of view. It
has made the home, instead of a
place of comfort for both, a MERE
APPENDAGE OF MAX'S, where
the Woman spends her whole time
making comfort for him.

REVOLUTION GAINING GROUND.
Willetustad, Curasao, June 27. The
Caracas government was reported here
today to be sending a strong roroe of
troops into northwestern Venezuela to
attempt to put down the revolution
which is steadily gaining ground in the
states of Falcon, Lara and Los Andes.
It was the general belief here that
the delay has ben too long, however,
and that the present regime is ia im
minent danger. ;
The situation is very similar to the
one in .Mexico, the peasantry uaving
risen primarily against the great land
owners.
