“An Idol of Our Own Making.” Editor: —If those ninety-four petitioning depositors want any more legal help, in the prosecution es the McCoys, let them go down in their own pockets for the money and not bother the county with it. One half of those ninetyfour petitioners are, in the main, almost as guilty as the McCoys. One half of them have, in a measure, been partners of the McCoys in the high game they have played. Men who have lost thousands in this bank wreck have been intimates of Tom McCoy since childhood; they knew his business methods; they were associates with him in much of the wild and wicked life he has led; by their fawning and following they have led scores of innocent people to patronize his rotten bank, and now they come and ask the county—the taxpayers —to furnish extra cash to prosecute the very criminals they themselves have helped to make. This entire bank trouble is just as chargeable to the people of this community as it is to the McCoys. Without our aid, without our blind following and sickening fawning, this loss and disgrace would never have befallen us. The McCoys were what we allowed them to be —idols made with our own hands. A Depositor. —o — Road Signals Between Automobiles and Teams. Editor Democrat: Now that automobiles have come to stay, it is best that there should be a good understanding between drivers of the machines and the public at large,, referring especially to the drivers of horses on our streets and highway. Every vehicle for carrying passengers or merchandise has equal rights on public highways with every other vehicle, whether propelled by hand or machinery or drawn by animals; but it is the duty of each person in control of such vehicles to respect the rights of others, and this applies as fully to the driver of a horse as to the driver of a machine, or to the mother wheeling her baby-car-riage.

For instance, no person who does not understand the handling of horses has any more right upon the public highway with a timid or fmctious horse, or with rotten harness, or without a constant control of the lines, than the driver of an automobile has to run recklessly or without complete control of his machine. Therefore, since it is extremely difficult for the machine-driver to know to a certainty just how either persons or animals will behave upon his approach, and furthermore, since a constant stoppage for teams is most annoying where time is an object, particularly when such stoppage is really unnecessary, the following well-known railroad signals are earnestly recommended in the belief that their adoption by both parties will promote a very friendly feeling and help to educate horses to the new conditions: First, let the machine-driver blow the crossing signal on his horn when approaching teams or obscured road crossings until convinced that his approach is noticed, meanwhile keeping his machine under control. % Second, let the horse-driver always give one of two return signals to the machine-driver, namely, either the “Come A-head” signal, by raising his arm straight up above his head and waving it from side to side, or the “Slow down signal,” by holding his arm out level with his shoulder and moving it up and down. The machine-driver will then go on past the team, or will stop, or slow down, or get out and lead the team according to circumstances and the signal he gets. Third, if the horse-driver fails to give any signal whatever, let the machine-driver govern himself

accordingly and always enquiro why no signal was given. If this is done, and a little care is taken on both sides, horses will soon take no more notice of the machines here than they do in other places where automobiles are more numerous. F. A. Ross. I.

AN UP-TO-DATE FABLE. Once upon a time an Automobile accosted a Horse in a very Rude Manner, saying: “You might as well get Off the Earth. You are a Has Been and I’m going to Supplant you.” But the Horse merely let out a loud Equine Laugh and replied Thusly: “Neigh, Neigh, my Explosive Friend, not on your Oil Tank. You may Usurp me as a Roadster, but they can’t make Canned Army Beef of your Person after your Tire is Punctured. See? Moral —Don’t think you are the only Toothpick in the Bunch.

WOMAN AND FASHION

For Young Girls. Fancy Etons, with skirts to match, are eminently becoming to young girls and arc to be greatly worn during the coming Benson, as they have been during this one. The excellent model illustrated is adapted to a wide range of

FANCY ETON WITH SKIRT.

materials and can be made available for occasions of dress or for school wear, as the trimmings are simple or elaborate. The model is made of golden brown veiling, with bandings of fancy braid and yoke of ecru lace, and is exceedingly graceful, as the material takes beautiful lines and folds, and for immediate use nothing is better. But lightweight cloth and the many other suitings in vogue are also appropriate. The quantity of material required for the medium size is eight yards twenty-one inches wide, six yards twenty-seven inches wide or three and three-quarters yards fifty-three inches wide. Winter House Gourm. The smartest house gowns must be on loose fitting, graceful lines, and even a hint of crinoline is not evident unless in the width around the skirt and the multitude of plaited and gathered flounces in lace or chiffon that are requisite to the finish of the skirt. It must be understood that these flounces and ruffles are never on the skirt, but under the gown itself or else on the underskirt, always so arranged as to hold out the skirt, but not as part of the trimming. « Fashions In Gloves. Dainty pearl gray gloves for promenade wear and the pale tan and champagne white ones that are so modish have colored linings or smart colored gauntlets with pretty little button fasteners to match. The Biarritz glove, with its elastic run through at the wrist, is a pattern that always gains a steady n mount of popularity. Two button dogskin are worn with walking suits, and the lighter shades are most in vogue. Galloon Trimmings. Fancy galloons is a favorite trimming for both velvet and cloth gowns and wraps. Trimming makers have never before made so many or such exquisitely dainty styles in galloons and braids. Bits of color twinkle in and out between the heavy coarse meshes of the braid in a way that adds wonderfully to the charm of the gown. Street Costnme. The severe tailor gown shown is made of chestnut brown cheviot. Both skirt and coat open on the side and are

SEVERE TAILOR GOWN.

fastened with large buttons covered with cloth. The coat is tight fitting. The skirt has a plain front gore, but aides and back are laid in wide plaits. Cromwell Collar* and Cuff*. Very wide Cromwell cuffs and collars are of Btiff linen, dotted with embroidery, done with mercerized thread.

WASHINGTON LETTER

[Special Correspondence.] Elliott Woods, the superintendent of the capitol and Mr. Coffin, the manager of the house restaurant, are convinced that there will he no complaints this winter on the restaurant proposition. A great archway has been cut in the wall between what were formerly the two separate dining rooms, and a steam table in the center will afford excellent facilities for promptly feeding the hungry in all parts of the restaurant Besides this, the bill of fare will he much less elaborate, and it is the present Intention to have all the dishes enumerated on the hill of fare ready to serve Immediately, beginning at noon, thus doing away with the long delays incident upon the preparation gs special orders. Members of the house may notice other improvements in their wing of the eapitol building, but it is safe to say they will not be quite so pleased over any of them as they will be with the restaurant improvements. Capitol Powm Plant. Work will not be begun until next fall on the new eapitol power plant, which, when completed, will furnish the power for heating, lighting and ventilating the eapitol building, the Congressional library and the senate' and liou.se office buildings now under course of construction. The appropriation for the power plant, which will probably be the biggest of its kind' in the country, was made at the last session of congress, but work on the office buildings is not sufficiently under way to warrant an immediate beginning of the improvements in the eapitol engine room. Nurses to Erect a Monument. The Spanish-American war nurses, whose annual convention was held recently at St. Louis, decided by unanimous vote to erect a costly and handsome monument in the Arlington National cemetery to the memory of those “humane and patriotic army nurses ■who died as a result of their exposure In the enervating climate of the tropics during the war with Spain and the insurrection in the Philippines.” The design of the monument has not been decided upon, but many members are said to favor a figure representing a nurse in her service uniform rqatly for duty. Civil Service at Panama. President Roosevelt has sighed an order completed by the civil service and Isthmian canal commissions, extending the civil service regulations over the employees of the canal commission. The order embraces all employees except those appointed by the president and laborers. New Treaty With Germany. Negotiations have been initiated for a treaty of arbitration between Germany and the United States. Several days ago President Roosevelt suggested to Baron Sternburg, the German ambassador, that a treaty of arbitration between the United States and Germany would, in his judgment, be very desirable. Ambassador Sternburg coincided in that view and told the president that he would inquire of his government what steps if any it desired to take in the matter. Soon after Ambassador Sternburg called upon President Roosevelt and informed him that the German government had expressed itself as entirely agreeable to the president's proposition and that he had been directed to open formal negotiations for such a treaty. Secretary Hay’a Jolxe.

Diplomats stationed in Washington are gratified with the announcement by President Roosevelt that Secretary Hay will remain In the cabinet for another four years. This is because the diplomats to a man esteem Secretary Hay very highly. For the most part they know his views on leading questions. He is extremely practical, and he is frank. From time to time there has been talk of Secretary Hay retiring because of ill health. As a matter of fact, although he is sixty-live years old, he is In excellent condition physically. He has had his joke about the frequent rumors of his poor health. To a friend who once congratulated him upon his excellent appearance he said with assumM weariness, “Ah, yes, but I am Buffering from an incurable disease.” The friend, surprised, expressed disbelief, but Mr. Hay insisted his malady was hopeless. The friend said perhaps it w as not really so bad, and what was the disease? “Old age,” replied the secretary. The President's Son. Young Theodore Roosevelt, who has been here for some weeks, having left school because of an affliction of his eyes, will not return to Groton, but will remain in Washington for the rest of the session. He has a tutor from Boston, Matthew Lee, a nephew of the first Mrs. Roosevelt, who was Miss Alice Lee of Boston.

Rural Free Delivery. When congress created the rural free delivery branch of the postal service It did not realize that It was establishing the greatest political machine of the United States. The fact has been recently impressing itself in a most serious manner upon senators and representatives, and they have brought it to the attention of the president who has directed the civil service com mission to make an investigation with a view to shearing free delivery carriers of political endeavors. In the recent election the fact was developed that rural free delivery carriers filled certain congressional districts with literature opposing the reelection of certain members of congress. The president is said to realize the danger of such participation in politics by free delivery carriers and will frame additions to the civil service regulations that will prevent them from taking any obnoxiona part in politics.
