UR TARIFF BURDEN
Fanners Will Be Benefited by
Underwood Bill
Statements to the Contrary by Hide-
Bound Protectionists Will Have
Little Weight With the Ag-
ricultural Voter
FOR THE IDLE HOURS
AFTERNOON GOWN
NEGLIGEE GARMENTS HAVE
ELABORATE GARNISHMENT
The American farmer sells his
goods in a free-trade market because
farm produce is exported from this
country and farmers have not yet
formed a trust In a few sections he
derives a little benefit from the duty
on eggs and live cattle and it Is just
possible that the wool trust and the
sugar trust permit him to taste the
profits accruing from the “Dutch
standard'' and schedule K That is
the extent of agricultural benefits
from the tariff
The American farmer buys his sup-
plies In a market “protected" by an
almost unscalable tariff wall When
he builds a house everything he uses
from cement In the foundations to
shingles on the roof is increased In
price by the tariff tax Hia agricul-
tural Implements are taxed la per
cent besides being further boosted
in cost by the tariff on iron and iron
manufactures His harness is taxed
his hoes are taxed his wagons are
taxed his crockery his clothing his
coal — the very match he uses to light
his pipe all pay tribute to the tariff
barons
The Underwood bill now pending lu
the senate reduces all these burdens
on the farmer and abolishes some of
them altogether Yet Senator Albert
B Cummins has the Impudence to
arise in his place and vow in tearful
tones that the Underwood tariff will
“ruin the American farmer"
Does Senator Cummins Riink the
agricultural population of Iowa stu-
pid euough to accept such piffle as
statesmanship?
Shocking Stand-Patters
Senator Galliuger sternly disap-
proves of Mr Wilson's methods He
complains that the president came
‘'dangerously uear lobbying" in some
of the things h6 has done in connec-
tion with the tariff bill
Most of the stand patter Republicans
In the senate feel the same way
These old-fashioned protectionists are
terribly strait-laced In their notions
of propriety They were brought up
In the strict tradition that invisible
government was the only correct sys-
tem that tariff schedules were to be
framed in secret on the confidential
dvtce of special Interests and that
the rights of privacy of professional
lobbyists should always be respected
as sacredly as the relations of attorney
and client Their Inmost moral nature
revolts at the thought of a president
peaking out plainly about the “insidi-
ous lobby"
The times have changed There
can be no doubt about it But the
Gallingcrs and Penroses and their
kind are Incapable of change
Lace In Profusion Is the Distlngulsh-
Ing Mark — Combinations’ of All
Sorts Allowed in Apparel for
Boudoir Wear
Lace plays as great a part in negli-
gee wear as it does In all other types
of feminine dress Usually the elab-
orate lace trimming is what strikes
the eye first In modern peignoir -or
room sack end details of foundation
malerlal ribbons little silk and chif-
fon flowers and other trimming fallals
make themselves evident afterward
Though crepe de chine and shadow
lace with suitable garnishment of
rosebuds form the most aristocratic
type of sacque or full length negligee
there are pleasing models of much
less expensive character for the aver-
age woman's midsummer wear such
as is shown In the illustration Dotted
wlss Is combined with lace or with
very fine machine embroidery In hand
effects Dotted batiste and plaited
net flowered crepe with net frills and
similar summer combinations that one
sees In the season’s wear and as these
lovely little affairs are surprisingly
little-priced no woman need go away
for a week-end visit without a fresh
and becoming garment In her suit-
case for idle gossip
Full length negligees are almost In-
variably draped for drapery Just now
seems to be an obsession with femi-
ninity Even the humble kimono of ordinary
colton crepe is likely to be caught up
t the knee under a rosette of ribbon
to convey a suggestion of clinging
drapery and as for the expensive mod-
els of chiffon crepe de chine and lace
clinging is surely the word for their
exquisite lines of grace produced by
artful but seemingly artless drapery
Now French negligees of allover lace
Trust ths President
The policy of the administration re-
apectlng Mexico has had the approval
of public opinion Jingoism and self-
ish Interest have tried to discredit it
without success As tension grows
and critical events once more loom
up there Is only one rule the level-
headed American public can afford to
follow :
Trust the president
The president Is better Informed as
to all factors of the situation than any
editor or politician He haB the full-
est knowledge the fullest powers and
the fullest responsibilities His will
his Intelligence and his patriotism
can be relied upon He is on the
bridge He is in command
Trust the president
Believers In Special Interests
The great strength of the special
Interests Is not their hirelings bought
and paid for body and soul It Is
in the support of meu unbought and
unpurchasable who really believe
that special interests have a right to
dictate legislation a right which the
nation will violate at its peril — meu
like Lodge willing to save the sugar-
beet millionaires postage blits in
their fight to tax a whole people for
the benefit of their own pockets
Such meu cannot be converted
They cannot be brought to repentance
for they hold the monstrous gospel of
privilege with an honest heart They
can only be retired while the world
goes on In a new way
Full Length Negligee
re hung over white chiffon founda-
tions having upper sections of flesh
colored tulle so that the fashionafcia
effect of semi-nude shoulders la
achieved without any real Immodesty
whatever French negligees also are
of fine net embroidered with chenille
flowers In pale mauve rose or lilac
Ribbons have a larger place on negli-
gee wear than has been the case In
FROM SCRAPS OF CRETONNE
I Tariff Revision to Benefit Farmers
Senator McCumbor's contention is
that the Underwood revision will In-
flict h“svy loss on the farmers If he
Is right about that hW prediction
about what the farmers will do at the
Many Pretty and Serviceable Articles
‘ May' Be Made In ths Odd Mo-
menta of Leisure
After hoarding up scraps of cre-
tonne left from window draperies and
furniture covers a clever woman
emptied her patch bag one day and
from the oddly shaped pieces of cre-
tonne made many pretty articles
A large roll of rose-sprigged French
cretonne furnished material enough to
I cover a hat box
To successfully accomplish this
! cut a band long enough to encircle
the box and wide enough to cover the
j sldea with allowance made for turn-
' lug In at tbo top and bottom
With bookbinders' pnste join the
ends at one corner Slash the edges
so that they will turn neatly and paste
In place Cover the lid In the SHtne
polls next year is likely to be fulfilled to properiy finish the box
Hut the Democratic contention is that
the farmers will boueflt from the new
revision and If that should prove to
be true the farmers are likely to con-
tinue In the new ulilance they formed
last year
In the Interests of the People
In the past tariff bills have en
shaped by two leading Influences One
was the direct Influence of the men
Who wanted a tariff to guarantee their
profits The other was the Inllunncu
of the senators and representatives
who fought to get uh many favors for
their states as were given to nnv other
state The Underwood hill wan shaped
by methods directly contrary to these
The bill was drawn for the whole
country nod by a method which grant-
ed no fnvors either to porsons or auc-
tions i
line with cretonne or plain material
pasting the sides bottom and top
smoothly to the pasteboard founda-
tion This makes a lovely box In
which to keep your best hat and Is
one which need not be concealed from
view
Model of white cluny lace over chif-
fon with draped skirt Trimming of
black maline and sash of same material
several seasons though In most In-
stances wide soft bows are also made
with this twisted-up ribbon The sash
Is of course a feature of negligee wear
just as it Is of all costumes this sea-
son and many little sacques of soft
fabric have weighted girdles which
knot at the front or at one side of the
front and hang below the edge of the
sacque to the kuee
MARY DEAN
MAY BE CURLED AT HOME
Useful Coats
No more useful garment than (he
font of lightweight worsted has been
Included In woman's wardrobe In
years These coats fill almost every
requirement of a summer wnp They
re gracefully appropriate for wear
with thu draped afternoon costume of
crepe de rhino lansdowne or foulard
are Jauntily attractive over a short
skirted outing costume and they will
answer for short motor trips and for
travel by rail or by water The rather
Not Necessary to Send Plumes to Pro-
fessional Cleaners When They
Become Bedraggled
The present fashionable ostrich
feather although It Is not so tightly
curled as the old fashioned plume
looks even more bedraggled and for-
lorn when It Is out of curl than the
old one did Yet fogs and mists or
rains are as frequent as ever and os-
trich feathers are now worn at all
times of the day and night regardless
of the weather Plumetls feathers
were put forward to fill the role of a
feather which moisture would not
change but they do not take the place
of the regulation ostrich feather
There Is only one thing to do If
you wear ostrich feathers and that Is
to learn how to curl them It Is as
good as Impossible to send a feather
to the professional cleaner to be
curled every time there Is a summer
shower
When the moist hat with feather
trimming Is removed put it If pos-
sible near a fire Heat often restores
a good deal of the lost curl When
this fs not possible let the feather
dry thoroughly and then rocurl it with
a sail file the blunt edge of a knife
or some other steel or silver blade
which Is not sharp
Work with one or two of the fronds
pt the feather at a time Catch them
between the thumb and the blade near
the stem of the feather and slowly
and firmly draw the thumb and the
blade along the fronds to the edge
If neces: ary go over some of the feath-
ers twice
It is surprising hew rapidly this
curling can be done and If It Is care-
fully done after a little practice the
feather will look quite as well as If
It had been curled by a professional
severely cut models of dark or neu-
tral colored material are the most
satisfactory — and -usually the smart-
est Sometimes a bright-colored Bul-
garian collar adds a touch of gayety
and very exclusive coats of this sort
have linings of American Beauty or
emerald green silk Mandarin yellow
is another favorite lining hue Very
good looking sport coats of pin striped
black or navy serge with trim lines
and trimming of white pearl buttons
may be found
Bleach for Waists
When perspiration has left a yellow
mark cover the blemish with peroxide
of hydrogen leave until dry then
cover with ammonia and wash Am-
monia water can be used lo wash
woolen waists on parts where per-
spiration has left marks The am-
monia will clean the material without
injury lo the fabric and also destroy
all odor Often a mark In fino mate-
rial may be removed In the following
manner lu a saucer or pan place a
lighted match and cover with sulphur
When It begins lo burn cover with a
funnel to hold In the fumes Hold the
dampened material over the end of the
funnel and In most cases It will bleach
the pot Work by an Open window
'where there Is a strong draft In order
to avoid Inhaling any of the fumes
Silk Stocking Hint
You can prolong tho wearing quali-
ties of silk stockings to a much great-
er extent by sewing a piece of soft
silk on the Inside of both too and heel
jHpanese wash silk Is good Darn It
In around the edge Also sew a pi ten
of tho silk Ht the top where tho gar-
ters fnsten
HIPPING IN GERMANY
Secret Marks Put on Baggage of
Tourists
Americans Too Lavish With Gratui-
ties Until They Find They Aro
Made Ridiculous — Conviction
of Two Hotel Employes
The conviction of two hotel em-
ployes in Berlin charged with dam-
aging trunks If ts led to the revela-
tton of an International secret signal
system between hotel employes on
the subject of the generosity of guests
The system Is similar to the old sign
language of the American “hobo” who
left on the fence of the solicited farm
house a hieroglyph concerning his re-
ception Half a circle with a line drawn
through It marked with chalk or lead
pencil on (he traveler’s trunk indi-
cates in the light of secret intelligence
that the guest has plenty of money
and pays no Ups If In the corner
of the trunk Is marked a triangle with
a small cross the hotel employe trans-
lates: “The man has money expects
every' sort of service and remunerates
not at all or only with cigars" A
wavy line signifying the snakiness of
the guest’s charaoter means "He ex-
pects the best of service promises
large tips pays his bill at the last
minute and then sends a porter from
the station for his baggage”
The real disgrace la to have the
initials "L B” on the trunk for that
Is translated “Im bruch" meaning In
good United States “busted! Such
a one Is visited by the servants as
soon as lie Is In hts room and he
must pay in advance
If (he guest Is a gambler a playing
card is sketched on his luggage If he
wins he pays good tips If be loses
there Is nothing
Then (here Is still another form of
signal the much coveted hotel label
If It is stuck on with a great deal of
glue It means “he doesn't pay tips”
Such a practice Is sometimes supple-
mented by using acid In the glue
which eats the leather As a rule the
more hotel labels there are — If they
are neatly affixed — the more generous
the guest
The luggage la not alone marked
There Is an Inner circle of conspira-
tors the shoe shiners The watchful
“boots" can read from a man’s shoe
the history of his generosity And
If the guest does not watch out the
servant may mix vitriol in the polish
One form of revenge fortunately
not often practiced Is to smear s
trunk with one little dab of a Chinese
essense used In the filling of “stink
bombs” The trunk Is then marked
for a long season and from station
to station from hotel to hotel It pro-
claims the stinginess of the traveler
These forms of secret signaling may
have had tbelr origin In the practice
of the police of one country In passing
on a suspicious traveler of marking
a little secret sign on bis passport
which was Interpreted to say “We
have nothing on this man but we sus-
pect him Keep your eyes open” The
hotel mark is an evil that Is hard to
combat The anti-tipster who exam-
ines his baggage carefully and re-
moves all chalk and pencil marks and
who forbids the affixing of labels will
soon be suspected for the very fact
that he evidently knows the code and
becomes thereby a thrice dangerous
man
European tipping on the whole 1s
not such an expensive necessity as In
America In Germany smaller tips
sre accepted with thanks almost ev-
erywhere The 10 per cent rule is ac-
cepted by every one and few and far
between are the waiters who would
refuse 14 pfennig (3 3-4 cents) for a
35 cent meal The cabby never ex-
pects more than 10 pfennig (2 1-2
cents) for a 25 cent fare with hts
tip Increasing proportionately with
the amount of the fare The taxi
driver Ih equally modest Tipping on
the street car Is common though by
no means universal
The American In Germany unaccus-
tomed to German methods has won
a reputation for braggadocio tipping
which makes it expensive to be known
as an American Thinking In the
coin of his own realm he hesitates to
leave so InHlgnlflcant a remuneration
for tho waiter as 10 pfennig after a
cup of coffee or a glass of beer But
Instead of winning respect from the
waiter the larger tip impresses the
waiter with the fact that the customer
Is a "greenhorn" and doesn't know any
better In time the American becomes
conscious of this and beginning with
a minimum tip of 10 pfennig In a res-
taurant ho sticks to the 10 per cent
rule and Is apared the miseries of
wondering whether the waiter thinks
him allngy In the hotel ho will pay
from 10 to 15 per cent of his bill
dividing It carefully so as not to for-
get the unseen handB which black his
shoes and carry his luggage

SUES 112 BANKS FOR ASSESSMENTS
ATTORNEY GENERAL CLAIMS
$646452 DUE GUARANTY FUND
From Former State Banks Which
Have 8lnco Became Na-
tions) institutions
Attorney General Charles West filed
In district court of Oklahoma county
suit against 112 national banks In the
state of Oklahoma In sin endeavor to
collect a total sum of $64645214 due
the state of Oklahoma on assessments
made when the banks were operating
as state banks
With the adoption of the bank guar-
anty law of Oklahoma the state banks
became obligated by law to pay the
assessments levied by the banking
board upon the average dally deposits
carried The funds raised by these
levies went toward the creation of the
bank guaranty fund

charters in most instances and took
out charters under the national hank-
ing law In order to evade paying the
levy Numerous suits were Instituted
over the state by the banking depart-
ment against the banks that' sought
to evade paying the tax by surrender-
ing their charters and nationalizing
and some of these suits were appealed
to the federal courts and there sus-
tained All of the banks sued that are do-
ing active business are unquestionably
solvent and the only point a Issue In

sessments made while they operated
as state banks
