WILSON TO MIN

Half of Acceptance Speech To
Be Devoted ‘to “Root of
Present Evils.”
i
SEAGIRT, N. J.. July 24.—Governor
Wilson put in five hours on his speech
of acceptance yesterday. He resumed
the work this morning, but was inter
rupted to sign some important state
papers, i’niike some other public of
flilalt, the governor insists upon read
ing every word of a public document
before attaching his signature to it. The
state papers, therefore, occupied con
siderable time.
He returned immediately to the
speech. The chief topic of discussion
in this document, it was learned to
day, will be the tariff, which the gov
ernor regards as the root of most of
the evils from which the American peo
ple are suffering. Governor Wilson pro
poses to secure a tariff for revenue
only. The governor regards the tariff
as responsible in large measure for the
high cost of living. The tariff, it is ex
pected. will take up at least half of the
letter of acceptance.

friend about 25 miles from Seagirt. Jo
seph H. Tumulty, the governor’s secre
tary, who was with him all day yes

Up and Down
Peachtree
This Man Knows How
To Wear His Clothes
Frank Liebman, esthetic and dilet
tente, has his own ideas and ideals in
dress.
His fidus Achates, Ira Steiner, Mr.
Liebman considers the best fellow in
the world, and the best dressed fellow
ever. Many Atlantans agree both
ways, but that is not so much to the
purpose of this story.
"Ira Steiner,” said Mr. Liebman, the
ever-present note of affection gently
modulated to the necessities of the mo
ment, “wears his clothes with grace and
ease, and with the sure abandon of a
man who knows when he is well
groomed and arranged to stay put.
"With Ira, every little garment has a
meaning all its own, and the—as the
French say—tout ensemble always is
precisely what it should be.
"Like a knight of old, Ira is a war
rior bold in the matter of dress. He
bio wet h (his coin for clothes) where he
listeth, and no man knoweth whence
he cometh or whither he goeth. He
is the only living, breathing human be
ing who will dare wear tan shoes, pur
ple socks, pearl gray trousers, white
and brown pin-striped shirt, green and
red necktie—all together and at one
and the same time. The wonder of it
all is, he gets away with it. too!
"There are times when Ira reminds
one irresistibly of nothing so much as
a beautiful sartorial pousse case.
“There is a gentle art in wearing
one’s clothes well. There are men who
could not, with the wealth of Golconda
at their feet, dress to look the part of
a thoroughbred. Ira Steiner could not
dress otherwise than engagingly and
as becomes an authority on clothes, if
given three trials in which to perform
the deed
“So exquisitely poised and so exact
is Ira Steiner's- taste in clothes," con
cluded Mr. Liebman. "that he regularlj
goes home at noon on Tuesdays, Thurs.
days and Saturday to change ids
scarfpin.”
After All, These Are
“The Good Old Days."
"I do not sigh for those 'good old
days’ of which the soulful ones and
the near-poets sing now and then,"
said the gentleman who was waiting
for a Pine street ear, and really not
caring if he missed a couple or so,
“particularly as concerns the matter
of watermelons.
“We never in the history of that
wonderful fruit had as fine ones as we
have this year.
“They are finer than they were last
year, and they were finer last year than
ever before.
"As a matter of fact, the world is
always moving forward. We are pro
gressives—the most of us, despite our
indiffetence as to that, perhaps. We
are often inclined to think that the days
of the long ago were, somehow, better
than nowadays. We wonder now and
then what has become of the old-fash
ioned sweethearts, the old-fashioned
girls and the old-fashioned customs in
the matter of things to eat and drink.
Why, the sweethearts of today are
quite as sweet as the sweethearts of the
■good old days,' and the girls of this
period are just as uncertain, coy and
hard to please. Men and women change,
and manners change with them. A
hobble skirt in the sixties would have
been a funny thing to see, to be sure;
but who would not laugh until he cried
at the sight of a hoopskirt now?
"Bless me, I think today is the best
day of them all. My girl of sweet six
teen—my daughter—does not dress as
her mother did when we were 21. and
1 am glad she doesn't. Not that her
mother wasn’t a swell and tasty dress
er in her day, for she was, but my
daughter, dressed today as her mother
dressed when 1 went a-courting. would
look like a guy. and people would laugh
at her. And if she dressed like her
grandma—my! And at that, we shall
get back to grandma's style by and
by.
"I believe I started out talking about
watermelons, and it’s a far cry from
them to the things I w ound up discuss
ing. say you? Not so far as you may
think, maybe. Watermelons and girls
are not precisely twin topics of sweet
ness. but they may be close kin, never
theless."
And then Qjie Pine street car came
along, and this wise philosopher fas
tened himself cheerfully onto a strap
and was away for home, mother ano
the girls.
