Never again make wcism at the expense OF the feet
the Chicago girl" said Nine Barclay to newspaper
writer III you do you will merely betray your ignorance.
Why; Well because Chicago girls have small eetsmaller,
much smaller than those of the New York girl And what
more Chicago girls have prettier figures than the New
York girls.
Strange Yes, in view of the supposition but
My measurements taken to fit the young women of
the various sections of the country with feshnss and other
accessories OF the wardrobe tell the story
Nine BARCLAY might have to the tomb with her
unreyeaed if King Dodo' had to town for a
season at Days Chcagoans, of know that Frank
started his mrhfu with chorus OF nearly fifty
Chicago srs his retinue and they fitted out with
stage wardrohes made in Chicago,
When the contract for the New York engagement was
signed found that nearly half OF the chorus girls could
leave home and that the deficiency the ranks would
have he made up by girls obtained Broadway.
OF there costumes to be ordered for the
beauties and these decided should be made in New
placed the order with New York the fig
Of measurements which the original
made.
An agency obtained the tweny-odd pretty girls wanted
for the cast They typical OF Broadway and the
declare that they topnotchers Rehcarsals
begun he shoes feshngs trunks bodices other ar
cles delivered handed the members of
company and last the day dress rehearsal arrived
Then there trouble. The Chicago contingent put in
appearance at the heaer their delicate garments fitting
so well that there wrinkle.
There cry of despair from the stage manager when
the New York girls stepped the stage and smokers
laughter from the other members of the company The poor
girls nothing less than carcaures OF chorus They
had not been sole put the shoes secured for them at all
for they far snail The lcshings were as much too
large the shoes small and capped about them in
ridiculous way In TACT everything except the shoes
too large

THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION AS A PARTY CUES


Senator Hoar," says the Dallas News, voted
against the passed by the for the gov
eminent of the Philippines. His position not
much in antagonism of the bill itself the principle
that we should govern at all in the islands mentioned
Senator Morgan voted for the because he
eyes that it is altogether right and proper that
have the Philippines and will never let them 60 we
should make rules to govern them When republican
like Senator Hoar votes against the bill fathered by
his party and Senator Morgan for the bin faith
cred by his political enemies it is about time to con
cude that the Philippine question is not strictly
party question
Now the argument the Dallas News makes is un.
sound, for many The first is perhaps
sufficient like the first John, in Conan Doyle's
"The White Company had for leaving the monastery
John left the monastery he said for nine reasons and
the first reason was because he thrown out. His
companion pronounced that reason sufficient and re-
fused to listen to him enumerae the other eight. so
the first Of the unsoundness of the argument
of the Dallas News that he Philippine question is not
strictly party question because Senator Morgan
democrat, voted for the Philippine civil government
bill is to be found in the fact that Morgan did
not vote for this BILL but against It. The proof of this
to be found in the Congressional Record for June
8. 1902 the day the bill passed at page $685. 1.-THE
bill ordered to be engrossed for third reading
and read the third time.
@The president pro tempore-The question is, Shall
the bill pass?
"Mr. Berry-On that ask for the yeas and nays
"Mr. Lodge--I ask for the yeas and nays.
1.-THE yeas and nays were ordered and the secretary
proceeded to call the roll.
The roll call having been concluded the result
was announced--yeas 49, nays 80, as follows"
Then follows an enumeration of the senators voting
yea and the senators voting nay, among the latter

J. PIERPoNT MORGAN AND THE BREAKERS


The striking resemblance was recently pointed out
in The Post between J. Pierpont Morgan and John
Law j. Pierpont Morgan is the prominent fnan-
cier of today John Law the most prominent
fnancer of the Eighteenth century Like Law Nor
gan has a superlatiye audacity and his financial
schemes, the financial schemes Of John Law
are dazzngly spectacular. While John Law in his
mississippi Bubble" failed and all his farreaching
plans went to smash. and while J. Pierpont Morgan
may succeed where his predecessor in high finance did
not the resemblance between the two is nevertheless
remarkable Mr. Morgan's schemes undoubtedly af
ford good field for intellectual speculation whether
they such for financial speculation or not.
There are two recent happenings which show dan.
ger ahead for the great American hnancer. The first
is found in the great British anttMorgan shipping com
blne The second is found in the fact pointed ont in
succnct sentence by Mr. James j. Hill, the president
of the Great Northern railway and magnate of al
most many millions Mr.. Morgan himself.
The British have been very much alarmed by Mr.,
Morgans purchase several British steamship
lines with the scarcely disguised purpose of attempt
ing to control the oceancarryng trade. The that
the White Star line had fallen into Mr. Morgans hands
threw the British into state of panic Now the ship
ping interests OF the tight little island" have com
bned and antiMorgan trust has been formed to
meet the American millionaire with n greater fleet
than his own The British ralyng the old lingo
jingle
We've got the ships, we've got the men, we've got the
money too
In speech before the Illinois Manufacturers asso-
citation Mr. James j. Hill said that the most serious OBJ.
lection to the trusts in his mind was tha they were
formed mot for the purpose of manufacturing any par
ticular commodity in the first place, but for the pur-
pose of selling sheaves of securities which represent
nothing than good will and prospective profit
to the promoters" Mr.. Hi did not mention Mr..
eta trust mr. ME hut
fits SO obviously that direct mention superfuous
Here is the main danger Mr. Morgan is running. Sell.
ing prospective profits is not only illemate but
1t is also a very uncertain business.

being found Senator Morgan and every democratic
senator present at the taking of the vote.
It is fair to state that the Of the News which
has been shared by many other papers throughout the
country arose from Senator Morgans having made an
expansion speech during the progress of the debate
In his speech Senator Morgan declared that while he
was an expansonlst, he the pledged foe of i'm
periaIism" in every form, and account of the i'm.
peralistc features of the bill he would vote against 1t
So the Philippine position of the democrats is
party position declared by the democratic platform
in emphatic terms and supported by vote of every
democratic senator. Nor Senator Hoars position
be fairly said to have made the republican position
other than party position Senator Hoar voted with
the democrats because he believed they were in tho
right All the republicans present except Senators
Hoar and Wellington voted for the bill The republic
have fully assumed the responsibility for the Phil.
pppne bill and the democrats have fully assumed re.
sponsbility for the opposition policy.
