THE FASHION However much the puritanically in eltned may decry Fashion, that at tractive wench has a sure footing In the walks of life past all dispute. In the case of Fashion, it Is much the same attitude which a wit of an older time had In view when he remarked "that the Puritans hater bear baiting not because it gave pain to the bear, bat because it gave pleasure to the spectators." It is the enjoyment that proceeds from being well dressed, and the pleasure which the world derives from looking at a pretty woman in .gladsome apparel, which our sober minded friends object to. Vanitas! Vanitas! What would we do without you? . And ' in - our Quaker background which has entered into our inner con clousness it should be remembered that there has been quite as much to do over the" shapV of a First Day bonnet as over the latest quirk from Paris' The Quaker loves an ample brim, A hat that bows to ho salaam. ' As dear the beaver Is to him As if ft never made a dam." But what would we do with out Our Lady Vanity Miss Fashion Mile. Modiste? "Plato having defined a man to be a two legged animal without feathers, Diogenes plucked a chicken and said "This Is Plato's man!" Whereupon the learned philosophers smiled sadly and inquired, doubtless. when the next shipment of the preclous Tyrean dye would reach Athens . How we should miss the elimination of lingerie and haberdashery from our scheme of existence and go back to the primitive method of differentla1 tion and adornment. Do you think the tribal haircut and the art of tatooing or even war paint are more to be desired? True, the war paint is less expensive, and the tatoolng more painful and permanent but they are not the fashion. : ' And this brings us to a' realization I that fashion is just as frivolous, ajj ' foolish, as serious and as sensible as la the common run of men and women kind. In man's clothes, of which we are a trifle more authoritatively informed (for who shall sound the depths of the mysteries of frou-frou, puffs and lingerie) we are constantly informed that our young and patronizing friend the college boy, is responsible for the monstrosities that we occasionally meet Some of these extremes are doubtless of college origin. Yet, seriously, no college boy worthy of the name would wear any of the things which are fondly heralded as his. However, your business man may sneer at college fashions it is to the college boy and the college boy only that he owes the debt of gratitude for the increasing comfortableness of clothes. Loose clothes, no coat in summer, soft bosomed shirts, low shoes, hlgn shoes to keep out February slush and a sweater to prevent the winter wind these are college clothes the Fashion. How. very foolish, how assinine the college fashions! Fashion, reduced to fact , is an Invention; made possible by our propensity to Imitate by which the ordinary man seeks to add a little zest to hl3 money grubbing existence. But when Fashion! enters into the realm of womankindthere the Eleuslan mystery begins and ends, we cannot follow itonly may we admire or wonder at and pay the bills. ,v r . :. , Away with those who contend that - Fashion Is the Invention of the devil and of , the tradesmen who sell us things .which fashion has worn out! In reality,' Fashion Is our creation, our aim. and our desire! We make it

Are You A Republican? And so Be veridge is not a Republican: , First Aldrich said so. Theh'Taft said so. And Cannon will use him as an example to the incoming Republicans who do not care to abandon the principles on which they were elected by their constituents.

To our Republican readers the announcement that Taft has proclaimed those who did not vote for the Payne-Aldrich bill are no longerRepublicans will not make any particular difference. It will only raise the question in their minds, "Am I a Republican?" Those who applauded Beveridge's action (and who in Indiana did not) in not voting for the bill will not experience any change in their feelings, nor in their principles. Those who applauded Beveridge's action were the rank and file of the Republican party in Indiana. Why then should their leader and their representative be any the less a Republican? ; Are you a Republican? , If you are. so is Beveridge.

Taft says: "To make a party government effective, the members of that party should surrender their personal predilections of comparative less Importance. I am not here to criticise those who felt so strongly and believed so intensely that it was their duty to vote against the tariff bill because it did not contain all they thought it should. It was a question for each man to settle for himself. In matters of this kind it is a. question with the party representative, whether he shall help maintain the party solidarity for accomplishing its chief purpose or whether the departure from the principle in the bill, as he regards it is so extreme that, he must In conscience abandon the party."

Now it is our opinion (and one which has many upholders in this western country) that the party is the creature of the people; the people are not the creature of the party. It is the party which must be subservient to the wishes of the people; and not the people who must defer to the wishes of the party leaders. The party is of the people; and the pecpie are not of the party. What the rank and ff-e of the people demand in the party, that the party must supply. What the party desires and the party must be considered of the people that the representatives and the leaders of the party must do else they are not true representatives and not true leaders. It is not mere "personal predilection" on the part of Beveridge. but a moral question of duty to his party and to his constitutents as a leader and representative. Beveridge is both the leader and representative of the men in the Republican party in this, state of Indiana. He could have' disregarded their wishes; he could have voted with Aldrich on every ballot; he could have been foremost in the AldrlehCannon crowd to urge the president to sign the bill; he could have stated that it "was not a performance of pest promises" and in a deprecatory manner have signed the bill and' tfcenThen he would have been a Republican? Then he would have returned to Indiana unheralded and h?.ve displayed a certificate signed by Aldr'ch, Payne and Cannon attested by Taft and proved without a shadow of doubt that he was a Republican. "Was." It would have been the past tense for him for when he had forsaken the wishes of his constituents and the promises he made during the "last campaign when he had bowed the knee to Aldrich then it would not have taken the president to have said "he has abandoned his party." The party in Indiana would have known it without his message and pointing finger

It is because the Republicans of this state of Indiana believed that the Payne Bill was not a "performance of promises made." It was because they gave him courage to stand up and vote as they believed when Aldrich told him he would read him out of the party, that Beveridge is a better Republican than if he had voted every, time for Aldrich, instead of the 55 times against him and U hill.

Thus the question is pertinent. ' Are you a Republican? ' " '" . And whether it be Aldrich or Taft it makes no difference and not all the leaders of the highest party eminence, not all the friends of the speeial Interests in committee room assembled can read Beveridge out of the Republican party in this state. , It Is the Republican you, yourself who will answer this question. It is the people of Indiana and not the representatives of the special interests such as Cannon, Aldrich, Payne et al. who will answer that. "Are you a Republican?"

and pay for it but like Francois Villon, we enquire of fashions as he did when he asked "Where are the snows of last year?" It is enough for any one to say. in disdain of the old "It's the Fashion ! Hems Gathered in , From Far and Near The Comet. j: From the Philadelphia Ledger. It Is reassuring to be informed by a learned professor of Columbia University that in the case of Halley's comet, which is presently to startle our dull earth with its brilliant apparition, there is no danger of a collision. Neither will the earth in any way be affected by the comet's aftermath of nebulous star-dust, vaguely resembling the milky way and constituting the "tail" of the eccentric celestial visitor. The earth has 'hitherto managed to elude every comet that has been headed in its direction, but on several occasions, the astronomers tell us, these visitors from interstellar space have come so close that we have passed through the luminous wake of their marvelous voyages, and the sunset skies in consequence have taken on prismatic hues, as when some volcanic eruption has filled the lower strata of ; the atmosphere with permeating dust. On this occasion apparently there will be no such phenomena observable. Street Signs. From the Hartford Times. An organized demand , for street signs is being pushed In Chicago. The Tribune reports that so far as markers of streets are concerned Chicago is now worse off than it was n thirty years ago. It is a fact, at once deplorable and . disgraceful, that probably not one city In five in , the United States has an adequate and ; proper system of street signs. At the North Pole.

TWINKLES (By Philander Johnson Discouraging Computations. "Your future son-in-law has been telling me about his vast estates," said the friend of the family. "Yes," answered Mr. Cumrox. "I wish he'd quit reminding me of them." "I should , think you would be pleased." "Not at all. The vaster the estates, the bigger the mortgages." An Apprehension. The controversies that hold sway Our gravest fears must soon awake. Will some one next step out and say The north pole Is a nature fake? Varying Conditions.

New Tariff Commission Is Merely Aid to President

Washington. Sept. IS. President Taft's appointment of the members of the exvcalled tariff commission has been received with greater misapprehension than any official act for some time.''.' High protectionists because of the character of the men appointed, see in the president's action an attack upon the protective system. Advocates of a scientifically made tariff to promote the best Interests of the country and of the abandonment of the Ald-rich-Cannon . system of tariff graft, which has prevailed so long, have seen in the appointments a step toward the realization of their hopes. Both are wrong. The tariff board has to deal merely with the administration of maximum and minimum features of the new tariff law. This law provides that if any country or political division of a country having authority to make tariff regulatons discriminates against the Un-. lted States in any manner, then the maximum provisions of the tariff law shall be enforced against that country or division, but if after investiga tion it is found that a country doesnot discriminate against the United States then the minimum rates of the law shall be left in force. To enable the president to ascertain which countries do discriminate if any, and which do not, the law authorized the president to name a number of assistants whose task it shall be to obtain all information respecting the operation of the tariff laws of every country and to watch all tariff legislation in every country in order that they may keep tue president advised as to which rates, the maximum or the minimum, of the tariff law of the United States shall be. enforced against the various nations of the phase of the tariff question.

Lifting the Lid Great Help To Prohibition, He Announces

Philadelphia, Sept 18. "Lifting the lid" at Atlantic City on Sundays will do more to help the local option cause in New Jersey and in this state than any other agency, "preachers and women not excepted," is the opinion of Samuel D. Weakley, former chief Jus tice of the Supreme Court cf Alabama, and candidate for governor of that state. Judge Weakley is one of the bulwarks of prohibition in his home state. He has been general counsel of the .anti-saloon league there for two years and was the author of every prohibition measure passed by the legislature. The etate is now "dry," and to keen it so the people will vote next November on a constitutional amendment forever forbidding the sale ot liquor of any sort within the limits of Alabama, Judge Weakley is one of tbe leaders of the "for amendment forces" party, which will meet to organize at Birmingham, bis home town, tomorrow. He has been an active factor in the anti-salcon movement in Alabama and is referred to by the liquor, interests at ths "fighting prohibitionist." Cpcn Defirnce a Great Help. "The open defiance of the law of New Jersey by tho liquor sellers at Atlantic City," said Judge Weakley yesterday, after hi3 return to this city from the seashore, "will do more to strengthen the local option movement and ultimately lead to prohibition In that Etate and Pennsylvania than any other one agency, preachers and women ' and women not excepted.

It is hardly conceivable that men charged with this task will find time to give much attention to any other phase of the tarif question. The general misunderstanding as to the real character and purpose of the so-called commission is in fact due largely to President Taft. The president favors a tariff commission and the enactment of a tariff law based upon absolute knowledge of the differences In the- cost of production here and abroad and all other matters which should: enter into a proper adjustment of the tariff schedules so as to afford justice- to all classes of producers and consumers alike. A man striving to work at night with but one electric light left would, if that llsht went out. be placed very much in the position in which the president found himself. But the president could not admit that Aldrich had switched off the electric current which gave life to the commission provision. Instead he was compelled to make the best of what had been left to him. end he declared in his state

ment approving the tariff bill that he had no doubt he covld utilize the men to be selected as his assistants in getting just the information which a commission would bo created to obtain. The appropriation from which their work will be paid for is 75.000. With this sum they are expected to hire all the clerks and experts necessary, pay all traveling expenses and defray all other expenses to which they may be subjected. With Aldrich and Cannon in control cf the two houses of congress it is an open secret that, were the members of the commission to attempt to do anything outside the duties prescribed for them by the law Itself, the appropriation would be cut down at the next cession so as to restrict them as Aldrich and Cannon would have t'aem restricted. law that started tbe first outbreak against the saloon in Alabama. In Jefferson county the liquor interests admit that if it had not been for law violations by saloonkeepers, Alabama would never have gone dry. . The liquor people were willing later on to have stringent laws regulating the conduct of saloons, but it was too late. The people had no faith in the conversion of these interests, and prohibitioa was demanded and obtained." How Alabama Has Won... In the opinion of Judge Weakley, one possible way to reach prohibition in any etate is to go after it by the local option route. This is what Alabama did at first, and through such a law . twenty-one counties went "dry." "AU could see the wonderful improve ment which followed the enactment of' local option laws and successful elections thereunder," . declared Judge Weakley. Young men from the "dry" sections, he said went to live In the "wet" towns and through their strong rentiment for prohibition put on tbe lid. "While we have prohibition." said Judge Weakley, "our people want to maVe certain that no future legislature shall undo what has been accomplished. It can not go above tbe constltu- !
