C. t The White Hotise pulled the string: and the marionettes at the Republican Convention danced their little gig. The only pleasure Senator Bev eridge got out of the Republican National Convention was when Fair banks went down with a dull thud. It now appears that the Admin istration hasj'changed its mind and will noftrfeatwith France about the iff. bufiaqhy on pure food regula rs The Repu&lican "allies" are now asking to "let alone.'' They have joined?that St. Louis outfit whose mottofl "give us a rest and sunshine.' We may expect to hear that pros perity is booming again, that is those of us who' are willing to be lieve reports from Republican sources. A Pittsburg Glass company an nounces that it has received several orders and tfill begin at once to manufactuac headstones of glass to mark graves. The Republican revision of the tariff, with Aldrich and Cannon, and and Payne, bossing the job, will hardly look like reform when they get through with it. "We are all creatures of the ta riff," says Mr. Carnegie/ Does "all"* here include 4the victims who are fleeced by lit as well as the favored interests, which have made nun-1 dreds cf millions out of it? The French chamber of Deputies J has adopted the bill for the national ization of the Western Railway Company, while here we are trying to keep government ownership of railroads out of politics. Does the foreigner pay the tax on wood pulp and print paper: or is it only on steel products, cloth shoes, glass, sugar, lumber, etc., that he| pays our taxes for us? Any Repub lican can answer this question. Jim Shermin, the Republican can didate for Viee-President, was the eader in forcing through the steal for extra milege by the Republican member of tbe 58th Cougress on the ground of a constructive recess that never occurred. When Fairbanks dallied with those cocktails he began to strike the political toboggan and when added to that he bejran to count! quorums in the Senate to help the Wall Street interests even the Re-! publican managers were compelled to drop him. The Wrapping Paper Tri?l with twenty-four members in the com bine has been convicted under the Anti-Trust law and each member fined $2,000. Yet the Republicans want to repeal the anti-trust law j that punishes combinations in re straint of trade. On the same day the Republican National Convention was eulogizing Roosevelt for the prosecution of illegal ftrusts and monopolies, the Beef Trust which had been prose cuted and convicted was unblush ingly increasing the price of beef from 20 to 30 per cent. The word hardly squares with the deed. The Labor people should not be dissatisfied with the Republican platform on government by injunc tion for the Republicans in Congress have always refused to pass laws Labor asked for, although pretend ing to pavor the wage earners. The I ?question is will Republican wage earners continue to vote the Repub csn ticket? Republican Boasting. (When it is considered that the Re publican platform was inspired, if not actually written, at the White House, the-fulsome praise <>f Presi dent Roosevelt in that document is perhays not to be wondered at. "Pride cometh before a laii" and "he that exaltheth himself shall be abashed.'' Nor does the Republican party itself appear bashful in tell ing of the deeds it says it has ac complished, but that was to be ex dected, for claiming everything in sight, is'an old game of the Repub lican managers that has lost noth ing since such modern players as the President have handled the lay out. The platform claims that the Re publican party "developed the in dustries and resourses of the coun try" but the fact is that long before the birth of the Repnblican' party there was much more development, considering the population than has ever occurred since. No party can develop the industries and resources of the country. The sweat on the brow of labor is all that can accom plish that and the pioneers, who in spite of the greatest obstacles, de veloped the West and indeed every State in the Union, received but little if any aid even from the gov-. eminent they created. They helped themselves and appropriated the riches tbat nature had provided and looked to no party for aid. The policies of the Republican party have developed and fostered trusts and combinations of "indus tries" and such policies are still protecting those predatory indus trial corporations in plundering the people. It must be doubted if any sensible voters will regard the tariff that protects the trusts, which has vastly increased the cost of living as a help to them. The tariff helped to "develop" a panic more disastrous than any that proceded it and the effects of which are still so disas terous that wages are1 falling and the business of the country is one fourth less than it should be, or would be, if sane policies prevailed. The very fact that this boastful platform admits the necessity of "immediately" revising its most cherished policy of protectionism, shows that instead of having devel oped the industries of the country it has in fact retarded them. Who but the favored "few have benefitted by the Republican party? Personally Conducted. The G. 0. P. and the Republican elephant are both tethered in the White House corral andjbranded 0. K. Ti R. Taft is laying lassoed and helpless on the back lawn having al so found his master in the Presi dent. In spite of these activities, Mr. Roosevelt found time to order the running of the Chjcago Conven tion, dictate the platform and such other small details as naming the Vice-Presidential nomination. It is hardly too much to say that the corrupt and vicious Republican par ty is now conducted solely for the pleasure of one, Theodore Roosevelt "Mr. Roosevelt was not only in charge of the Chicago Convention," said the New York World, "he is I Mr. Taft's campaign manager, per sonal guardian and press agent com bined. The season for special mes sages having closed last month with [the adjournment of Congress, he : is now devoting his leisure to giving out 'statemements from the White House.' There, were two Tuesday?one relating to the Chica go platform, the other tc Mr. Taf t's religious connections. As the cam paign progresses the country may expect to be informed from day to day through neatly typewritten statements given out by secretary Loeb, 'on the highest authority' that Mr.1 Taft never wears any clothes not made of wool grown by American farmers or cotton raised by negro labor and manufactured in mills run on trade-union rules; that Mr. Tafts prefers cold tea to lemonade in hot weather; but is opened-minded enough to recognize the excellent qualities of both beverages; that Mr. Taft while a true-blue Yale man, does not ob ject to Harvard's winning at la crosse, and that Mr. Taft comes of mixed Scotch, Irish, Puritan and Cincinnati immigrant stock equally represented among the men who wore the blue and the men who wore the gray. "This is to be a personally con ducted campaign for the Presidency on my policies by a man of my type personally selected by me." Degenerate Republicans. Uncle Joe Cannon is in a tight place. He is discredited by the re sult of the Republican National Convention. He is marled for slaughter by the Roosevelr-Taft ma chine, and someone elso will be selectee to wield the Sp sr' pavel who will be ?ore' subervient to While Koi.se in-1 riuences. It is evident that th : dis-j integration of the Republican rarty j of Lincoln has come at last which is) due to its degeneration. What can; be expected of the centralization; process that the young blood has inaugurated? The people will nevei? be satisfied long with that and?we may soon expect the G. 0. P. to re tire- from the political arena un wept and but few mourners to sing its requiem. The Rogues Kali Out. Republican harmony amongst the New York brethren does not seem to "hang high" for the "narmony dinner" at the Chicago Club on the eve of the Convention in honor of Boss Odell, developed into a laundry for washing the Republican dirty linen, Boss Barnes, of Albany, and Boss Aldrich, of Monroe County, frankly exposed the corrupt meth ods of each other and nothing but the active serv" 2s of friends pre vented serious damages to the par ticipants in the "mix up" When rogues fall out, etc. Mr. Bryan's Fine Tribute. The following tribute to former President Grover Cleveland was written by W. J. Bryan, and will appear in his paper: "The death of ex-president Grov er Gleveland brings to a sudden end the phenomenal career of one of the strongest characters known to the political world during the present generation. Like every commanding figure he had zealous supporters and earnest opponents, but those who differed from him were as ready as his warmest friends to concede to him the possession of elements of leadership to an extraordinary de gree. He was deliberate in action, firm in conv.ction and ever ready to accept responsibility for what he did. Few men have exerted a more pesitive influence upon those asso ciated with them. We are hot far enough from the period in which his work was done to measure ac curately his place in history, but the qualities v> hieb made him great are a part of a nation's heritage and universal sorrow is felt at hisdeath.

Dresses are not required until the little stranger is two months old. Be fore that it wears the same kind of little cambric slips day i\f.d night. Of t;.4>M' liivrf sl'-"'!:i In-::! !H{Wt r.tX".' P?'4 :i.i.'s tl:.- e. ;iieiv -i:.. ? f?< ?.... brie skirts and two of English uaiu sook, slightly trimmed. Put the first petticoats on flannel bands four inches wide, and if not too expensive it Is well to have another, a bit embroid ered to wear with the nicer dresses. Four woolen shirts must be oh the list, high neck and long sleeves, three pairs of woolen socks, four woolen bands and three dozen diapers of birdseye cotton. The first used should be made of old table linen, as it is soft and the skin is particularly sensitive. These are not included in the three dozen. Important to the outfit Is a soft, light weight 6hawl, and also a couple of little sacks either of flannel or crocheted. After two months of age a child re quires more clothes than at flrst. He is handled more easily, and his wardrobe becomes more conspicuous, added to which he goes out of doors, and so "daps and wraps must be provided as well as afghans. For the first time new dress es are needed, and these should be made either of French or English nain sook. Six of these are Imperative. At this season cashmere is the best. Caps for a young baby should be ? muslin with a soft silk lining. Snch an outfit, with the exception of the caps and coats, can be bought for $18 or $20. This means being machine sewed ar.d plain when if the mother can sew nnd has plenty of time she will find it pretty, work to do by hand, and when finished the garments will be daintier. Overelaborate clothes for infants are a mistake, no matter how much money one has. The daintiest things are made from sheer, plain materials with the narrowest of headings and the tiny lace edges of fine quality. Embroider ies and cheap laces are to be avoided. The most serviceable way of finishing the bottoms of the dresses is. with broad hems and feather or hem stitch ing. It must not be forgotten that the list just given provides for the small est quantity with, which the baby can be kept clean. Perfect cleanliness 1p essential in every respect and the more changes there are for the little one the better. SUMMER NEEDLEWORK. Practical Designs For Decorating the Best Company Towels. Towel decoration is a pleasant form et needlework and one that particular ly appeals to the practical woman of domestic tastes. It might be asked. Why waste any fancy work or decora tive effects on a towel, especially one of a fine quality of huck or damask? The average housewife, however, likes 1 her best towels to have some touch of embellishment and, tiring of the regu lation scalloped edge and initial, has turned her attention to the form of drawn work illustrated. This needle work is of Italian origin and is termed pnnta tirato. It is simple, does not ta:: the eyes, and for the indispensable fancy work for the leisure hours of summer It Is especially adapted. The preliminary operation is to draw the threads to the depth of about two inches and hemstitch the edge. Then the threads are drawn together in a series of divisions as pictured in the illustration nnd afterward filled in as shown in the cut. Mercerized cotton is used, and both for b?ck und damask towels a border of this kind is very decorative. Furthermore, it wears well anu requires only ordinary care in laundering. Pronunciation of Words. N It is not the manner in which we pronounce unusual words which stamps us cultured or uncultured. Many persons who are perfectly fa miliar with the meaning of some im posing words which they frequently meet in print seldom get them out in ordinary' conversation. Consequently when they do their pronunciation Is apt to be faulty. On the other1 hand, a person who makes a practice of looking up every new word which he meets and who has therefore acquired a correct pro nunciation of unfamiliar words is very likely to mispronounce small words. As has been said, tills Is a great deal more damning than the failure to be correct In large words, for it Is from the purity of our accent in using the words heard every day that a person's early breed ing and environment must be inferred. For this reason do not neglect to in vestigate your treatment of ordinary words. Observe the stage pronuncia tion of numerous small words, notice the speech of the most cultured per sons with whom you talk, and yon will find how many seemingly unimportant words you have mispronounced.

Text of the Lesson, I Sam. viii, 10-22. ? Memory Verses 19, 20? Golden Text, Prov. viii, 15?Commentary Preparad by Rev. D. M. Steams. [Copyright. 1903. by American Press Association.] In turning back to the Old Testament for six months which remain of this year we are to learn of the same Israel and the same Lord of whom we hcve been reading in the gospel by John and very similar treatment of the Lord by Israel, for in all ages man is the same in his sin and the Lord is the same In His unchanging love and long suffering. Israel could say truly, and they will yet say again as never befoiv. "The Lord Is our Judge, the Lord is our Lawgiver, the Lord is our King: He will save us" (lsa. xxxiii, .22). By HLs own great power He brought them out of the iron furnace of Egypt at the ap pointed time according to His word to Abraham. He bore with them and cared for them forty years in the wilderness and in due time placed them .In the land of Canaan. Then He gave them judges for about 4o0 years until Samuel the prophet. Afterward they desired a king (Acts xlii. 17-21), that they might be like other nations (verses 7. 19, 20). and thus they rejected the Lord as their King and forsook Him. preferring not to be the Lord's own peculiar people. He had never dealt with any nation as He had with Israel. He bare them on eagle's wings and brought them unto Himself that they might be His peculiar treasure above all other people (II Sam. vli..23, 2:: Ex. xlx. 4, fi>. yet they wearied of Him and rebelled against Him and rejected Him. How like to the record in Joh3h I, 11. and xlx. 15. "He came unto His own. and His own received Him not:" "The chief priests answered. We have no king but Caesar." The carnal miud ever since sin, entered the world has boe:i at enmity against God. always manifest in greater or less degree. Israels sin at this time is reproduced in the great majority of professing Christians today. They are unwilling to be whole hearted for God, preferring conformity to this world, even though It means eternal and irreparable loss. Samuel felt hurt evidently that the elders of Israel should thus set hjra aside, or at least act on that line, but he did the wise thing, as was his wont -he told the Lord all about It. The Lord comforted him as Jesus did His disciples long afterward when He said: "The servant is not greater tiian his Lord. If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you" (John xv, 20). The Lord assured Samuel that Ee (Jehovah) was the rejected one and not Samuel. He authorized Samuel to tell Israel that He would give them a kin-*, but be gave them fair warning, con missioning him to toll them what kind of a man he would be. So Samuel told all the words of the Lord unto the peo ple (verse 10), just as he had told the words of the people unto the Lord. In the former ease he acted as proph et, the Lord's spokesman, and In the latter as priest representing the people before God. The people were warned that the king they desired would sorely oppress them and that they would be sorry they had asked for him (11-18). They* were told that he would take about all that belonged to them. Notice six times in these verses just referred to, "He will take, he will take." Their sons and daughters and fields and grain and servants and flocks he would appropriate to himself. This they were plainly told, and yet they insisted that they would have a king so as to be like other nations. So It was written long afterward, "I gave thee a king in mine anger and took blm away in My wrath" (Hos. xiii. 11). Does It not seem as if Jesus had this In mind when He said: "I am come in My Father's name and ye receive Me not. If another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive" (John v. 43). This other will be the antichrist spoken of in Dan. xi. 30. 4.">: II Thess. Ii, S-10. It would seem monstrous that men in any measure sane should choose n roan?a mortal.selfish man?who would take everything they had from tbeim Instead of Hie Llvlnjz Ond. who gave them all tilings richly io enjoy. He gave them bread from heaven during forty years in the wilderness, and all the flesh they could eat, and water from the rock, and the land of Canaan with all Its riches, ns set forth in Deut. xi, 9-12, and His continual presence and constant care and nis power and Ills wisdom. It would seem unbeliev able that men would turn their backs upon such an Almighty Friend and choose a robber if we had not read that these same people in after years coolly and deliberately rejected Jesus of Nazareth, their Messiah, the Je hovah of the Old Testament, and chose a robber and murderer in His stead. Men are now persistently and deliber ately and continually choosing the pleasures of sin for a season and re fusing tii? kingdom of C'od, with its eternal weight of glory; choosing a murderer and destroyer and liar, who blinds their eyes to the light of the glorious gospel, rather than the Lord of life awl glory, who gave Himself a sac rifice for our sins, even tor the sins of the whole world. The things seen and temporal are more to the trroat ma jority than all the tilings unseen ami eternal, and. like Israel lr. the days of Samuel, they cry for something visible and tangible. ' Men ol faith, on tin? contrary, like thi^o mentioned in Heb. xi. of whom Samuel is one. believe God. THE BANK OF SPRINGFIELD. Undivided Profits.12.??00.00 Capital.. .$30,000.00 omrers. L. M.
