Keep History Straight
Tho facts aro that tho result
oftho republican convention was aim-1
ply a gamo of politics In tho playing
of which thoro wcro two factions, and
as a matter of course ono faction
lost out, Cortaln republicans and
domocrats, somo of whom had axes to
grind for ono reason and another, mot
In secret caucus (wo say secret, for
tho caucus was not advertised) audi
selected n ticket to bo presented at
tho republican convention to bo held
tho following ovonlng. On tho pro-;
sumption t'unt these cations nominees
represeontcd the "dry" elomcjnt of
tho town, the "wet" element naturally
took coxceptlons to any "star cham
ber" proceedings and during Saturday
afternoon rallied tliofr forcos with tho
result that in tho conventlop they had
a majority of votes. Tho' secret cau
cus olemont agreed In the caucus that
each should Influence tqn men lto at
tend tho convention, but each failed
to get his ton men, and thoroforo lack
ed tho necessary Btrcngth.
Help the Firemen
This week a committee from tho
city fire department will wait upon
citizens for tho purpose of soiling
tickots to tho twonty-olghth annual
hall to bo hold April 5th. Tho object
of giving this ball Is to raise funds to
purchaso comforts for tho mombors
which aro not provided by tho city,
and It Is tho only timo during tho year
that tho firemen ask nnyMUng of tho
citizens' In return for their services.
It Is true that wo have had no bad
fires and but few small ones during
the past year, and perhaps tho flro
mon have not had an opportunity to
render any great service, yet It Is
equally true that they havo been ready
to do their duty when calls for such
havo arisen, and for this they aro en
titled to tho good-will and financial as
sistance of our people. Wo trust that
every property owner will feel that
tho boys aro entitled to a recompense
for the willing service thoy render
and will readily purchaso one or more
of tho tickets.
Paroxysms of l'nrlly.
Practically every tlmo a city elec
tion campaign Is on certain of our
citizens suffer paroxysms of .purity.
Wo aro not faulting them for this con
dition but we wonder why it is that
theso paroxysms occur only tit elec
tion times. Gambling Is indulged in
the year around, pool halls wdro con
ducted tho samo yesterday as they
are today, Bcarlct women walk the
streets as frequently In November as
In March. Tho fact Is wo all nro
troubled with weak back-bones, and
VAj lack - the courage to do our duty
as goou citizens, ir wo know that
gambling is being carried on. that
pool halls are r,Un contrary to law, that
houses of prostitution exist, and thoro
aro othor unlawful praOtlcea it is
within tho province of any man to file
a cbmplalnt In court and not wait
for tho police to do it. Tho claim that
wo pay the pollco to do this work, is
tho cloak behind which wo hide our
lack of courage.
Remember wo glvo you your choice
of our best wnlsts with your suit, E. T.
Tramp & Son.

Tho Pot Calls the Kcttlo Black.
After reading the Telegraph's ac
count of how the democrats "packed"
tho republican convention, a democrat
remarked that ho did not believe that
was any worse than having J. Harley
Edmlstou, a democratic candidate for
register of the land office, meeting
with tho republican caucus the night
beforo and offering suggestions as to
who tho caucus nominees should bo.
This particular democrat consldors it
a case of tho pot calling tho kettle
black.

Most of the coats hnvc set-in sleeves. The
garments arc tailored with more scams than
last year and show graceful flarc3 at the bot
tom of the coats, produced by means of the
in-set godcts at the sides of the coats below
the waist-line, which give the extra width and
also assure the smart wing-hue Hare.
Pleats and Belts on Coats
Many of the coat3 arc pleated in soft folds
frequently held down by belts or partial belt
effect. Some of the coats have slightly raised
waist-lines; on others the line is carried far

The new suits have many charming original
features. Ihe modcta this season arc more
conservative because the war abroad has sub

Wooltex garments arc absolutely correct in
style, but no extreme effects arc presented.
The fabrics are unusually beautiful and there io
a wide representation of the new sand and putty
colorings, with new blues and other desirable
dark coloring3. The simplicity of the models
gives exceptional effectiveness to the superb
tailoring that 13 a characteristic of V00ltcx
