Allegiance to His State.
In an attemlpt at an extenuation
of their alirgnment withl ttte Rpub
licans against "hle 1)enocralie taiill
bill, Senators Ransde'll and 'liihrnton
each plead allegiance to his Stale.
This pretense is as unusual as ii
is illogical, if not ridiculous.
The plea of "allegience to hii
State" based on the protection of
some sp'cial industry is as strained
as it is untenabke.
As Louisiana is a reliable and it
revocable De, ocrat ic State, the op
pcsilion of Senaltors Raunsdell and
Thorntiilon has reflected a discreditl
on the Delnocracy of tlih State.
which is being rese, nted and will not
soon he forgotten.
Let it be granted that Senators
a Ransdell and Thornton were sincere
in their alignment with the Repub
licans anod that their integrity is un
impeachable, yet their act., deliber
ate as it was, is unpardonable for
the reason thal, being men of bril
o liant intdlect and fully conscious of
their obligations to their party and
to themir State, it was their duty to
stand steadfast and immovable
when they were called to the criti
cal test.
It may also be conceded that the
Democratic platform was not
pledged to free sugar, but it was
clearly proclaimed that the Demo
cratic party was pledged to a revis
ion of the tariff downward, and this
pledge to reduce tiihe cost of living
must be fulfilled. In tihe revision of
the tariff it became evident that su
gar must be placed on the free list..
When this was suggested, devised
and incorporated in the bill, the
sen.trors from Louisiana were war
ranted and justified in their insist
ence for the protection of sugar, a
Louisiana industry, but when these
'two senators had failed, it became
clearly their duty to submit to the,
majority of the party by whom they
had been honored.
On the approval of the tariff bill
the senators from Democratic
Louisiana are the only ones who, as
proclaimed Democrats, have voted
wit.h the Republicans and have
practically isolated themselves from
a Democratic administration.
What have these two senators
gained? What can they expect
from the party in the future?
The protection of sugar, which
was manifestly impossible, did not
warrant their political self-sacri
fice. Practically these two senators
have blundered and have misrepre
sented their State, whidh besides
the sugar district which covers
about one-fifth of the State, is as
we repeat a ,reliably and irrevobaly
Democratic State.
The plea of allegiance to one's
State can not be accepted as an ex
planation or as an excuse in the
justification of an act which is in
defensible when loyalty to pa.liy and
to principle being the issue is ig
nored deliberately.
Having chosen 'their course in
their alignment with the Republi
cans on an issue most vital to the
Democracy of the State and the Na
tion, the two Louisiana senators can
expect little recognition or favors
from the majority, who are growers
of corn and cotton, which is unpro
tected, and who have been loyal to
the party in the most trying of
emergencies.

By JUDIC CHOLLET
Lingerie was never more entranc
ingly pretty and dainty than at pres
ent. Transparent effects are decidedly
in the ascendant. Each garment is
made of thin fabrics and shafed close
ly, with the paramount idea of keep
ing the figure slim, and all trimmings
are put on without extra fullness.
Shadow and val lace and a little Irish
lace with fine batiste and nainsook
daintily embroidered by hand and ma
chine are put together with narrow
beadings and fancy stitchery.
These drawers are built on the latest
model. They are closed at the sides,
and the fullness at the back is regu
lated by ribbons and casings, but tliey
consist of only one piece of material.
In one view the straight edges are
trimmed, and in the other the edges
are cut off and frills joined to them.
CIIULAR CLOSED DRAWEIS.
A still different effect could be obtain
ed by scallopirg the straight edges and
embroidering so:re design above.
Washable silks 'snd crepe de chine
are being fised for ::arments of this
kind as well as the familiar batiste
and the like.
For medium size the draN\ ers will re
quire one and seven-eighths yards of
material twenty-seven inches- wide.
with three and a half yards of iminer
tion, one and three-quarter yards of
edging to make without frills and
three yards of embroidery one and
three-quarter yards of insertion to
make as shown in back view.
This May Manton pattern is cut in sizes
from 22 to 30 inches waist measure. Send
10 cents to this office, giving sumber, 7996.
and it will be promptly forwarded to you
by mail. If in haste send an additional

HELPFUL HINTS
FOR HOUSEWIVES
Scissors Grinding Attachment
For the Sewing Machine.
A n;tg lthe neoW things which have
been recently bIrought out to lighten
t[lg Ilurdens of the fair ones is a little
dtevi l) by whih, any ordinary job of
a-t ihry sharlening may be done on the
sewing Imachine. The device consists
of a snmall eimory wheel of the right
conmipsition for sharpening knives.
scissors and similar household utensils.
antl this is mounted with a pulley
wheel on a small metal table. This is
pl.ae;l on the top of the sewing ma
ihiine: table and slid along until the
pulley wheel is in contact with the
hIilt as it passes through the table top.
There: is a small shelf in the proximity
of the wheel which is set at just the
right angle for scissors sharpening,.and
with this any woman is enabled to
sharpen a pair of scissors, whereas
lindier ordlinary circumstances this is a
rather difficult task. It is also possible
to sharpen any other small piece of
cutlery.
Lotion For the Hands.
An excellept lotion for whitening and
softening the hands is made of equal
parts of pure olive oil and glycerin,
beaten together and perfumed with oil
of violets. Where glycerin is objected
to a paste made of two ounces of
beeswax and one ounce of sweet alm
onds may be used instead of the lotion.
Place the ingretlients in a jar in a
saucepan of boiling water and let them
melt together. Stir until well mixed
and when cold pot the paste and apply
it as often as necessary to the hands
or smear it over the sleeping gloves.
Cleaning Paint.
The easiest and quickest way of
cleaning paint is to have two pails of
water, one cold, to which a tablespoon
ful of ammonia has been added, and
one hot, with the addition of a little
ammonia and soap powder. With a
soft flannel wash the paint with the
soapy water, then rinse with the cold
water, using a wash leather instead of
the flannel. and wring the leather fair
ly dry.- Paint washed like this dries
with a nice polish, which no using of
hot water alone will impart.
Canned Tomatoes.
In stewing tomatoes for table use
enough may be cooked to fill one or
two jars. Stew with just a little salt.
Have the jars and tops and rubber
rings sterilized as for ordinary canning
and place the jars in a whter bath or
pan filled well up with lukewarm wa
ter. Fill the jar quite to the top, pro
ceeding otherwise as in ordinary can
ning. It is sometimes easier to "put
up" tomatoes gradually by this meth
od than a dozen or more at a time.
Tomato Marmalade.
Peel and chop ripe, firm tomatoes,
allowing for each pound the grated
yellow rind of a lemon. Boil together
till the tomatoes are soft, when to each
pint add the juice of a lemon and a
pound of sugar. Cook for about a
half hour or until it will jelly when
placed on a chilled plate. Put away
as with other marmalade.
To Whiten Linen.
Handkerchiefs and white clothes are
whitened in the following simple man
ner: After they have been washed
in the usual way lay them to soak
overnight in clear water, into which
cream of tartar has been put. A tea
spoonful to a quart of water is the
right proportion. When ironed they
will be as white as snow.
Marking Important Dates.
On the first of each month, when
yon turn a new page in your calendar,
draw a pencil through the birthdays,
anniversaries and other dates that you
wish to remember. Busy people will
find this helpful.
Removing Paint Stains.
To remove paint from .clothes im
mediately rub with a rough rag wet
with turpentine. This removes the
stain and does not leave a mark.
A Substitute For Hemstitching.
When the hemstitching on bed linen
begins to break apart cover it with a
row of fine featherstitched braid and
Mtitch neatly on each side.
Raisin Pie.
Boil one pound of seeded raisins In
ufficient water to cover till tender.
Add the juice and grated rind of one
_emon.
