NEVER DOLLAR GAS

Because n man named Arthur Masten
has decided that tho people Of the city OF
New York should submit 10 the extortion
of dollar gas Il does not follow that tho
robbery will be legalized. The report OF
the master may be approved by the courts
which appointed him and still the people
OF the city will not be bound by the de-
cision. They can ignore the Masten opin-
Ion: they may oppose the sanction or
some circuit judge for what this lawyer
has done The people should not allow
the judgment or any lawyer or inferior
tribunal upon this matter TO irritate or
enrage them. For the fundamental princi-
pie In the dollar gas suit. like the princi-
pie In the franchise tax case. will be set
tied by the United states supreme court.
In the franchise tax case an inferior
court decided against the people, but the
court OF appeals and the United states
supreme court overruled the judges who
had voted for the corporations. In the
dollar gas case nothing will count but the
Judgment of tho United states supreme
court And what we know about that tri-
bunai gives us no good reason TO fear
that II will side with Masten and the gas
trust--New York Press.

bottle up her feminine fanc!es for pretty

The separate skirt; this Is n part of the
wardrobe which we are all apt to give
too little attention. The habit of wearing
the suit skirt without the coat or with
a separate coat is common one VITA
great many women. and as a result the
skirt is worn shabby long before the coat,
and nine times out of ten the coat Is
such that 1t will not look well with an
odd skirt, unless the skirt be of some
novelty material such as n striped or
