AR LIRS Let us not confuse mediation with arbitration. This government hag nothing to arbitrate with Huerta. The issue was down to itg last analy- sis right at the start, and it was sa- lute the flag or take the consequence. If the South American nations want to act as peace makers and can pre- vail on Huerta to come to our terms, well ang good; but we have no con- cessiong to make, and to compromise with him now would be held as a victory for Mexico. With all the win- ning cards in our hands, we can be neither bluffed, coaxed, nor tricked. e gl L The Orlando Reporter-Star preach- es a brief but forceful sermon against the cigarette habit from the case of a young man in that town who went to sleep smoking one of the thing ang presently awoke with his bed on fire, It would scem that an argu- ment so concrete and caloric would convince any “fiend” even after all moral, economic and| hygienic con- siderations had failed; but maybe not, for Ephriam jolned to his idols wag not more tivmly giued on than the modern dopster welded to his cigarette. e peia i THE PASSING OF A GREAT TRUSTEE George F. Baer, president of tho Philadelphia and Reading Railway company, who will be remembered as the gentleman who affirmeq that he wag a trustee for the Almighty in administering the coal monopoly in Pennsylvania, died the other day. In the course of his divine trustee- ship he accumulated many millions of dollars, ang the continued inflow of this golden stream into his cof- ferg left no doubt whatever in his mind that the Lord made an excel- lent selection when He chose George F. Baer ag his trustee in coal. Mr. Baer was honest, charitable and well-meaning, a high-class man ang citizen, but his environment and stupendous wealth determined his convictions as inevitably in favor of his coal monopoly as the greater force in mechanics overcomes the weaker. None of our mulu-mirlion- aires ever doubt for a moment the absolute ethical right of the mon- strous and merciless artificial sys- tems by which alone they have ae- cumulated their untold riches, and in their places the fiercest of their critics would think just as they do. The point of view makes our opinions and it ought also to make us charitable and tolerant of the opinions of others, for, perhaps none of us are entirely right and none rich and poor alike, but self con- scious little puppets in a scheme we think we dominate but which moves to its end by unseen laws regardless of beggar and baron alike. e That brilliant Lambright idea (worthy of Tom Sawyer himself when he inveigled the other Kkids into whitewashing the fence while he took it easy in the shade) by which Sir Edwin gets the rest of the force to write his editorial page for Monday’s Tampa Tribune, thus en- abling him to go to church twice on Sunday, also Sunday school at 10 a. m., and the Epworth League in the afternoon, is not ball-bearing and wont work in other printshops.

TRUTH ABOUT THE FASHIONS Writer of Authority Points Out That They Are Both Sensible and Beautiful. The editor of the Woman’s Home Companion makes the following gen- eral comment on fashions apropos of the new fashions: “When you see a woman with a skirt so tight she can hardly walk, with a hat trimmed with a long spike feather, with heels three inches high, with a layer of cosmetics on her face, you do not see a victim of fashion, but a victim of her own poor taste and ill-considered vanity. The fash- fons were never more beautiful—nor more sensible. The narrow skirt—but not too narrow—that clears the floor is infinitely more sensible than the long, tull skirt of the past; the high, tight collar with its attendant head- aches has gone; the small hat, set well down on the head, is a real bless- ing; the very high heel is very bad style; cosmetics are not worn by wom- en of good taste; fashion even frowns on false huir—a restful change after the heavy berated pompadour; and, best of all, woman’s figure is no longer compressed into a eeries of ugly bulges, and the steel-stiffened corset of days past has become a flexible piece of webbing that supports but does not bind. When these sensible present-day fashions are exaggerated and distorted they become ugly and ridiculous, it is true. But no woman is forced to wear them in an exagger- ated and distorted form save by her own lack of judgment and her own in- difference to comfort and good taste. ) \}/ i ) NOT ONLY DO THE MAKERS STAND BEHING EVERY PAIR OF SHOES AND HOSE;WE SELL, BU WE STAND BERIND THEM TOO AND MAKE GOOL ON EVERY PAIR WE SELL.
