It is not a minute too early to begin | making baby's autumn clothes, and ! particularly when they are to be hand embroidered. Beautiful coats may be made of Bed | ford cord in white and finished ail the i way round the edge with buttonholed scallops. They may be plain, even cut on the kimono style, if desired, so there will be no extra frills and fur belows to annoy the tiny wearer. Foi cold weather a lining may be added of white albatross, which washes t I n i e b li easily. One wise mother has. made a pad ded jacket of two thicknesses of habutai silk, interlined with a layer of lamb's wool. It is then quilted so that it will stand washing and clean ing: it makes the warmest little jacket imaginable. Heavy White Veils. The extra large, coarse, white veil with a small square dot is to be at the top of fashion for the early part of the season. It is quite becoming.

APPEAL TO CHRISTIAN CHORCi Made by Judge Taft in Behalf of the Filipinos. “A Great Missionary Work That Is Certain to Promote Christian Civ ilization.” The extension of n vitalising Chris tianity iinnnig tile Filipinos ns advo cated by Judge Taft both before his t hi ■ !i of acceptance of the nomina tion to tlie presidency and in that doc ument it.-wif lias been widely com mented up n in the pulpits of the liited Sin es. ’the voice of the der Sy has given earnest commendation to the attitude of Judge Taft, who when governor general of the islands exerted the utmost influence for amelioration of the condition of the in habitants of tiie archipelago, and that, too, at the cost of great self-sacrifice on his own part in refusing the seat on the supreme bench, to which he was both called and commanded by Presi dent Itooseveit. Never since he first assumed the bur den of the governorship of the Philip pines has the welfare of the Filipinos ceased to be close to the heart of Judge Taft. In his speech of accept ance again lie reminded the Americans that it is the duty of this country as a strong, Christian and enlightened ra tion to give spiritual as well as ma terial aid to the distant brown breth ren. Taft’s Appeal to Church. Her. Albert Hurlstoue, pastor of Roberts Park church, Indianapolis. Ind., in a recent sermon thus spoke of Judge Taft's appeal to the Christian people of America : "Mr. Taft used words of wisdom in referring to this question in his noti fication speech. His appeal is not only to his party, but it is to the Christian church of America. It seems to me that every man whose heart beats loyally to Jesus Christ must rejoice in the statement so truthfully made. Mr. Taft said: ‘We have established a gi vernmerit with effective and honest executive departments in the Philip pines and a clean and fearless adminis tration of justice; we have created and are maintaining a comprehensive school system which is educating the youth of the islands in English and in industrial branches: we have c n structed great government public works, roads and harbors; w« have induced the private construction of 800 miles of railroad; we have policed the islands so that their condition as to ««w and order is better now than it has ever been in their history.’ "Mr. Taft is lietter fitted to speak on this question than any other man In the government to-day by virtue of his close connection with the problem, his ex|ierienee nnd personal olwerva tion of the work being done; bonce what he says will he heeded by the Christian church with intense interest. Infiuene* of Christian Civilization. "More than ten years before I lewey sailed into Manila. Bishop Thobtirn. our missionary bishop for fifty years in India, predicted that ere long the missionary would find an open door in the Philippines, hut God alone knew how the door was to be opened. “h'ow we hear Mr. Tuft saying: 'We at* engaged in the Philippine* in a great missionary work that does our nation honor nnd is cerlain to pro mote In a most effective way the in fluence of Christian civilization. It is cowardly to lay down the burden until our purpose is achieved.' True, nor do we believe that the American peo ple will allow this to he done. The sacrifice has lieen made, the song of the redeemed jteople will ere long Lil heaven and earth with gladness. The selfish are ever lonely and joyless, but they who bring the sacrifice to the altar will find the joy of the Lord arise within them.” THE ROOSEVELT POLICIES. Republican Party Will Continue Roosevelt Work. (From Sherman's Speech of Accept ance. ) Our platform, as it should do, pledges adherence to the policies of President Roosevelt; promises to con tinue the work inaugurated during his administration, to insure to persons and property every projier safeguard, and all necessary strengthening of ad ministrative methods will be provided to furnish efficient inspection nnd su pervision, a nd prompt righting of every injustice, discrimination and wrong. Hot a Wail for Bryan. “Let us have the worst," says the Brooklyn Eagle. That sounds like, though It Isn't a declaration for Bryan. —New York Tribune Ki. l'a Ere Shota. The “new diplomacy" Inaugurated In the foreign policy of the United States proclaims truth and frankness as its characteristics. It is the absolute can dor of Mr. Taft in consulting openly with his predecessor in the White House upon questions relating to the 1 public good as allied with Republican victory that so confounded hia critics. There la nothing so dazzling as the white light of courageous candor. PAR2LEB WHITES TO BE YAH. Ia Terse Term3 Tells Peerless One 'Why He V/on’i Contribute. Here :« a letter t.t: bj' an Illinois farmer !u response to tilt- Democratic vpp. al for campaign contributions: “Hon. W. J. LSryan, Lincoln, Neb. : "My I>enr t>.r—As a farmer, in my reply to your request that the farmers contribute to your campaign fund, I will say that 1 cannot give you any thing. as your speech accepting your nomination shows that, as President, 3’ou could not accomplish anythin*. You say that, if elected, you will only serve four years, and that promptly after your term begins you will call Congress In extra session, so that you can begin to reform the abuses at once. But if. as you say. nothing can be done while Congress, or even the Senate, is under Republican control, why convene an extra session, as all know the Sen ate cannot possibly change in less than four years, if then? "I ftunkly admit your many good qualities and generous impulses, but it seems to me that a mas*'who would se riously propose your dangerous free silver and government railroad owner ship schemes, as you have dune, has not that practical business tact required to make a safe President. \ou did well to drop these lunacies from your plat form, but when, to still public alarm lest, if elected, you would call them up, you promised in your speech to only favor ns President what was in your platform, you made a most serious mis take, which effectually tit's your hands and disqualifies you for the presidency, as scores of issues and subjects outside of your platform, and which-are vital to the country's interests, may press themselves u]ton you for action. “No presidential candidate ever made such a promise as that before. The fear of tbese two mistaken hobbies marred your whole speech. It was another fatal mistake when, to draw attention away from these two hobbies, you declared there had been great pop ular growth in your views and policies, when, in fuct, these two, which were your only prominent ones, had been left out of your platform. We have never bad a presidential candidate before wiio proposed to bring in such a millennium of reforms, who had to make so many quirks in his speech of acceptance to conceal and cover up his most import ant views rather than to justify and explain mein. “The abuses of which you speak art the fruits of the evil inherent in hu man nature, which are present in one form or another under the rule of all parties, nnd republican rule no more created them, ns you charge, than it created your abuse of your party's con fidence, or the crimes of your party In robbing a large element of our voters of their ballots in several states, and which, though claiming that the peo ple's rule or rights was the issue, you were afraid to even mention in your speech, much less condemn. "It was a great abuse of your party’s confidence when, with yobr speech for free silver before a former convention you deceived it into nominating you for president with your false claim that the country would be ruined with the gold policy of the republican party unless you were chosen to destroy it with your free silver plan. Put you now see it would have wrecked the country's interests, and you have even kicked that lunacy out of your present platform and. lnferentially, made a solemn promise in your speech to never call it up again. That abuse was more dangerous than all the other present abuses combined; but you will agree with me that republican rule did not create it. That was a bad business, but you are Just as confident now that j the nostrums in your present platform, | with you as president to apply them, will bring in the political millennium as you were when running before, when your success would have ruined the country. “If you are afraid that Mr. Taft will be top tardy in publishing his cam paign subscriptions, or that if the rich people give his campaign fund anything it will prevent him. If elected as presi. dent, from reforming the abuses, why don't you publish the vast gifts of ths barons and silver kings to your cam paign fund, when a former candidate; or why did you take them? Or per haps you would have been too good for such gifts to have corrupted you had you been elected president. “It is a pity that every other candi date is a rascal but you. If you are to he elected the outlook is not auspicious. With a man for president who is afraid to put his chief views or policies in his platform, and then to draw attention from the fact by claiming a great growth for them, and running on the assumption that he is the only honest candidate, ant! for a party which tbs people have only Intrusted with tbs power for a short Interval in fifty years, and which wrecked all interest* with its blunders, what grounds har« we to hop# that the country can pros per? "No, I can't give you anything on this outlook, and I don’t think any other farmer ought to help your fund. “As lizxxt'TK r>nun ” The Soft 1‘rdnl.

WESTERN FAVOR FOR TAFT Republican Policy Father *f the Arid Region. Home Owners and a High State of Civilization Go Hand in Hand. The W est has at all times furnished the strongest backing to President Itoosevclt and the West turned first to Judge Taft as his logical successor. Taft is the chosen leader of that party o; laitiative and construction which, by its iKilicies. has populated the couu try, connected our two coasts with hands ol sice! and has opened the-dour or opportunity to every citizen of the republic. The Republican party from its birth has been a party of home steads for the people. It has enacted and enforced the laws, permitting each adult citizen of the United States to establish his own home and roof tree at a mere nominal cost. fuel# Sam and Home Owner*. When good homesteads began to grow scarce and corporations, by double deal ing. had largely usurped the birthright of iiie individual, the party of freedom and justice began to look into the ques tion of reclaiming the arid West. It decided to flank the subtle movements of land monopolists and to practically create a “new heaven and a new earth” for the builder of homes, upon which rests the cornerstone of the republic. Uncle Sam owned the whole arid re gion--practically fifteen hundred miles square—and he owned the water supply feo. 'Through the Republican party, lie decided to bring the water to the land, end by this union to make possible a measureless bounty for the present and future generations. The Republican party passed the National Irrigation Act which became a law in June, 1!K)2, authorizing the government to enter upon this work of reclaiming arid America. The semi-urld region extends over North Dakota. South Dakota, Western Nebraska and Western Kansas in to Oklahoma and the imnhamile of 1 exas. uii nil a inr w ni. In thin area the home-trafkPBg policy of the Republican party is to ptrfect one of the greatest experiments of ciiiPzation. Mr. Taft is thoroughly familiar with conditions here and loves file West. IIis prescient vision of the y'Jat destiny of the republic is preg nant with Titanic achievement for this future garden spot of the world, lie knows the sources of the western water snpp'y lie is the stalwart repros-vi ta the of the party that is busy with the conservation of the natur.il re sources of our country, and what section of our land is to be half so much liei-e Dted by this promising movement as tfcs arid region? Homes and Independence. On the tillage of the soil rests the prosperity of all other industries, I'non the upbuilding of homes rests the in dependence of the nation. Irrigation end conservation, encourages small holdings and increases the number of those who call no man master. These two Republican jiolicies have a bonid less potency for civilization. On ttie desert sands of Egypt they were instru mental ii. rearing the mightiest empire of p.n< ient days. In India they are to day revivifying and modernizing a wasted land. In America their mission is hut beginning, yet it gives promise of untold btessings to man. Possibilities of Electric Enercir. One of the most valuable assets that is to come to the arid region through the policy of the Republican party, will he the vast electric energy jiossibie by harnessing the mountain streams. They will thus not only give life to the coun try. Out through power generated, will inject into that life the greatest pos sible useful activities, in the arid re gion multiplied millions of horse-power can lie created through the natural gravity system of water. There are hundreds of valleys ranging in length from a few miles to nearly one thousand miles where ample water can be liad for all power pur poses, as well as for heat and light. So when the life-giving fluid is applied to the parched plains and the desert is transformed into the orchard, the water then furnishes the source of energy for mill, factory, electric plants for lighting and heating and all possi ble mechanical devices. Perhaps at no other point on the earth's surface are such combinations possible to such a degree of utility. Having the climate, the scenery, the soil, the sunshine, the water, the tim ber, the minerals of all kinds, the stone, and in fat t all of the products of the earth, both from its surface and from its bowels so readily at hand, here in the western portion of America Is destined to lie wrought not only the highest civilization, but the highest Political IVotrs. Mr. Taft is not trying to reduce his weight bocanse he is afraid of his own shadow. Missouri has become the first state in lead mining, ns well as ziuc min ing. If ores are to lie admitted free, as Mr. Bryan advises, what will imp pen to the wages of American miners? The wages will go down to the foreign level arid ill many eases the mines will closa standard of citlzsnmilp and patriotism —providing the party of construction and enlightened citizenship remain* In power. iieaponftiliilitiea of Lomln&Rt Parlf, ' When we come to contemplate the va*t field of natural western resources, available for fiKid. for industry and for commerce; when we attempt to ftrasp in one act of thought, the ; length and breadth and depth of the riches with which 1‘rovidencs has loaded this section: when we try to I realize how every possible want, every | material aspiration of man can be ] bountifully provided for; when we consider how measureless are the j values which will spring into being tin- j «’er the Republican policy of dealing i with the west, and how these values when oiK-e created are solid and real, j can Ik* incorporated into the endur ing structure of human society, we may begin to estimate properly the measure of responsibility which rests i upon tliis nation and its chosen rulers. ; This is not merely to preserve un harmed the priceless boon of civil lib- j erty which leaves the individual citi j zen free to do bis share in work of j development, hut to adopt such meas ures as will prevent the waste of nat ural resources, clear the way of [irogress and promote the final triumph j of civilization. The record of the Re- ! publican party is one of progress. Alluring: Vision of Greatness. Judge Taft not only knows and | loves the west, and favors developing it to the maximum limit, but he also knows Japan, China, the Philippines, the South Sea Islands and all the South American republics whose shores are washed by the expansive Pacific ocean and whose products are destined ■ to augment the commercial supremacy of our Pacific coast cities and the trade centers on all the transconti nental railroads. His well-known pol icies provide for the west as well ns the east, the north and south and far away possessions. Looking at the great War Secretary from this viewpoint. Is there any won der that the west is for Taft and Sher man? TAFT GAINING STRENGTH. Independent Political Writer Find* Republican Candidate Popular. Walter Wellman, the Washington' ec'rres[ioiideut of the Chicago Record Herald, thinks Taft is gaining strength. Writing of his candidacy recently he said: “It is not denied that for some weeks after the Chicago convention there was in the East, at least, an undertone of prejudice against Judge Taft, springing from the belief that he was a mere echo of Roosevelt; that he was “not his own man.” that he could not have been nominated hut for the President s aid, and that he is only a stalking horse for the man at Oyster Bay. Curiously enough, many men who like Rooseve't, and would vote for him if he were to •un again, felt lukewarm toward I'aft because of this belief that lie was only the President’s shadow. Now this feel ing Is largely wearing away. It never \'ns entertained by men wh> knew the facts, who knew Taft himself, who woe familiar with the strength of his character, his independence of mind. Put the men who did entarM'n it are beginning to perceive that lie is his own man and a strong one at that. The more speeches Taft makes, the more frankly and plainly he talks, the it ss will there be of this mistaken no tion that he is overshadowed by an other. Taft's frank talk on the l.ioor ai t! injunction questions and ills v.’uin, blunt denial of the foolish story that lie once said $1 a day was vases enough for a working man, lias done him more good than his more labored and pretentious efforts. “Judge Taft's friends argue that to some extent he has been a misunder stood man, arid they want him to ‘take j tile stump’ to show the country what be really is. They would like to have j the masses cf the jieople look ujion him In the same way as he is looked Cpou by residents of this city, where bn is well known. Ask any man of the rational capital, be he Republican or Democrat, what be thinks of Judge Taft, and he wil! tell you that Taft is one of the biggest, strongest, finest characters we have ever bad in public j life. This is my own opinion, and for 1 twenty years I have known and watch ed most of the important men of Con gress and of the government of both parties. I am not a hero worshiper, nor a partisan. But Taft has Impressed me, as he impresses every cne who really gets to know him, as the freest tj pe of man this country prodm-es. and la tter fitted by temperament and train ing and experience for the difficult task of the presidency than any man we have had in that office for many years. The friends aid ad.nlrtis of the Republican candidate believe the country should know the man as he I is and as he is known to be; and they J think the best way to bring mat about j is for him to travel and speak Horn I one end of the country to the other.” j When Mr. Bryan goes campaigning down South some man may be thought less enough to interrupt him in the middle of a speech by asking him how he stands on the Negro ques tion. “How will Mr. Taft explain to the average man the benefits of protec- 1 tion?” asks Mr. Bryan. Bless your ' heart, the average man understands it without any explanation. — Omaha Bee ONLY MORTAL AFTER ALL ‘‘When I went to church last Sun day," said a young woman visiting in Washington, "I sat directly behind a high executive officer whom I have regarded as almost more than mortal I tried not to be rude and stare at him too much. bu>-] could not help my eyes wandering toward him occasion ally. 1 glaueed at him just once, near the end of the sermon, and what do j you think he was doing? He was yawning, and he yawned a large and vigorous yawn, which came on him so suddenly that he did not have time to hide it behind his hand. I must con fess that 1 was delighted. My venera tion for the executive officer is just as great as it ever was, but 1 am glad I found out with my own eyes that he is subject to ordinary human weak nesses and cannot help yawning dur ing a sermon." Poetry Won Bandit’s Heart. Prof. Bliss Perry' tells a story to il lustrate the advantages of literary wisdom. A friend, he says, was trav eling in French mountains when on a lonely road he was stopped by high naymen. his life threatened, and bis valuables demanded. His Bterary in stincts were to the fore, even in his extremity, and half unconsciously he burst forth with an appropriate coup let. quoted from some obscure French poet. "Hold!' cried the leader of the high £. waymen. My comrades. this gentle ! man is acquainted with the works of 1 our friend. M. So-and-So! He is. then our brother.” The purse was returned, courtesies exterded. and the traveler and fhret ' ii.nd:ts adjourned to an inn near h> 'and spent a pi a an: evening.—P,os ton Herald.

Work. Men work hard for power and pelf and, occasionally, we see some provi dent fellow working in the sunset of his life through force of habit. Few men or women, however, love work for itself alone. Tom Sawyer much preferred going in swimiping to white washing the fence about his home, and many a boy has hoed potatoes with a heavy heart in sucker-fishing time! To begin with, we don t take to work as we do to play, but as we progress through life’s vale, we note that every thing depends upon work—work with the hands or the brain—but work for all that. Success is only attained through effort. Comfort, position, adu lation of the many, are but the master pieces of labor. We soon learn the lesson, set our eyes straight to the front and upward, and work! Many overwork in their zeal to accomplish great things, but these same toilers, with the prizes gone, would work lit tle. The fact is, joy of work, inde pendent of results, is most exquisitely felt by those who don't have to toil! The hobo that dreamed he was work ing and awoke with a cry of consterna tion, is not a fit illustration, but the fact remains that none of us are too fond of work because it is work!

An old clergyman friend of mine was once asked to define the difference be tween "prepared" and "ready." He an swered: "Well, my son, there is many a person who may be prepared to die. but I have never as yet saw one who was ready." Meeting an old friend at the conven tion, Casey asked him where he lived and what he was doing. “I'm living in New York and trying to make an honest living,” was the answer. "Will, ye’s should do all roight there,” said Casey. "Ye’s will hcv very little opposition." 1 heard of a fellow who had huugflt some eurrant buns at a bakery, anil when he attempted to eat one. he found it was a fly.
