Why No Tariff Reform

The Presidents close friends have
been promising for several years that
he would attack the iniQuites Of the
tariff We have had ntimation that
Mr.. Taft was FESTIVE under the dc
mands of the highly protected indus
tries. And yet the influence of the
manufactures, who have for twenty.
five years contributed to the repub
lican compaign fund, and who in re-
turn have framed the tariff SEIZED
ules, has been sufficient to prevent
tariff reform. AS the present cam.
paign approached, both the president
and Mr.. Taft declared in favor OF
tariff revision, but set the date OF
revision after The election. But the

YELLOW BALLOONS AND TROUBLE.

The man milliner who has a shop at No S2e
Fifth avenue is evidently not in favor Of woman
suffrage. He excessively annoyed yesterday
morning when the members OF the League OF Self
Supporting Women who had had the mpertinence
to install themselves in a window above his head
let out two hundred yellow balloons bearing the
words votes for women The balloons Were
aimed at the Republican parade which was passing
ut that moment and not at the man mlliner, whose
existence the leaguers mad quite forgotten but he
evidently took them as personal affront. They
caused passesby to congregate in front OF his door,
he said and interfered with his business So the
leaguers recalled them from their wanderings and
hung them on line at what they considered a safe
altitude.
But stiI the man Inliliner considered himself
sgerieved He got a ladder and a small eClored
boy and sent the latter up the ladder TO puncture
the balloons Then the crowd got mad 1t hauled
down the ladder and the boy and order was only
restored by the intervention or the police
The party was genaraled by Mrs. Harriet Stanton
Blatch and with her Miss Inez Muholland
who vigorously waved Il British suffragette flag.

SLAVERY OF DRESS.
Woman the Victim of Industrial
Game, Says Professor Thomas.

The redoubtable Professor Thomas, of Chicago
University proceeds with his dissection OF lovely
woman in the November number Of The American
Magazine his particular topic this time being fe-
male apparel. The subject is not one. For
ages it has afforded abundant opportunity to
philosophers and moralsts for heaping abuse upon
the heads of womenknd. But Professor Thomas
has something new to say about it From his point
of view, the moralists were all on the wrong tack
The object of their abuse is mere helpless victim,
"only a pawn in the industrial game played by
mun"
Her individual possessor her" says Pro-
fessor Thomas. "as q symbol Of his wealth and
the captains Of industry make her the occasion of
a market for the costly and changeable objects
which fashionable habits force her to accept. New
fashions are not always beautiful they are even
often ugly. and women know it: but they embrace
changes frequent and as radical as the in
genuity of the mode makers can devise. Women
do not wear what they want, but what the manu-
facturers and trades people them to want
The people who supply them also control them"
The reason for the extreme differentiation in the
dress Of the sexes is not due 10 the nature of
either. according TO Professor Thomas. Man is
naturally inclined to personal display, he says, but
he has come to have more effective means of get
ting results and so he has given up ornament
Money is now his main charm" Woman. on the
contrary. has TO depend her charm for every
thing. She is mot naturally spectacular" but
when had acquired a specialized skill which
gave him mastery of the world and her person
as we'll she began to specialize the display which
he was abandoning. Restricted in movement. with
no specialized skill with not even life to educate
her in the broad sense in which men encounter it.
and limited in her interests by the proprietary
tastes of man. her occupation is charm" And in
this occupation she has become so absorbed as
even to forget its original purpose. She almost
loses sight of man-after marriage, at leas-iu her
Interest in outstripping other women Men would
prefer her snore simply dressed, but this is her
sane-lndeed. 1t IS almost her business" And here
Is retribntion. for man pays the bills"
Underlying the charm of wonans dress Pro-
fessor Thomas finds two main principles namely
Its emphasis Of her and the helplessness TO
Whlch 1t reduces her, For instructive reasons
which we do not control and do completely un-
derstand, signs OF six" he says, have a very
powerful emotional effect Hence the emphasis OF
woman's most striking anatomical popularity. a
waist which measures small in comparison with
the bust and hips" The helplessness involved in
lacng. high heels undivided skirts and other i'm
pedmenta Of women has charm in the eyes of
man because IL appeals to his protective and mas
terful instincts. TT is his opportunity since the
disappearance OF large game and in the piping
times OF peace"

LEFT HIS MONEY TO
 AIRSHIP BUILDERS

New York, Aug 26.-Congressman James Hamill of Jersey City, N J., has ln his possession and will offer for probate shortly the will of Jeremiah Carrihanne, Who died two weeks ago at the age of 60. He had no relatives and no estate except an insurance pol icy for $500. Out of this he provides that his funeral expenses be paid. Then the will, which he drew himself, goes on to say:
 Knowing from bitter experience what it means to be crippled from rheumatism and be forced to flee from the path of automobiles and such hereby bestow what is left of the in surance money on someone who is try ing to perfect an airship so that there will ultimately be less running about the streets and more flying thorugh the air I hereby appoint my eXecutor as the man who will decide who is to get the money"
 The eXecutor named is Edward R. Doyle MT. Hamill says that Carri- names aversion to automobiles was due to the fact that he twice narrowly escaped being run down by reckless chauffeurs.

Victim of ClamOr Mania Takes Fatal Dose Of Poison After Desperate Struggle With Policeman on Street Car-Couldnt stand Quiet of Coun. try.

East St. Louis. Ill., Aug. 26.-The probable climax to the strange case of Robert Caulefeld, the boilermaker who is suffering from clamormania, a pas sion for noise. came last night when he swallowed two ounces of iOdOform in the city jail in Bellville. where he lad been taken following desperate struggle with policeman on street car.
 Caulefield is in the county hospital. His chances of recovery are slight.
 Monday night the boilermaker was found near the Broadway viaduct un- conscious He was taken to St. Mary's hospital. The quietness of the place caused him to rave necessarily and it was decided to take him to the county farm at Bellville.
 Handcuffed and in charge of po- liceman, Caulefield was placed on a suburban street car. As soon as the car entered the quiet country district he became violent and attacked the policeman. In the car filled with passengers the two men battled on the floor. During the. struggle the hand cuffs broke and Caulefiell beat the off, cer over the head with them. After 15 the policeman overcame the clamor maniac and later landed him in jail.
 Five minutes after he was locked up Caulefeld swallowed the iodoform

Posled conspicuonsly in the yard of ice Of the Rock Island railroad at ArSenta is the following bulletin:
 Little Rock, Aug. 21. 1908.
 It is noticeable that many of our employees are addicted to the habit of smoking cigarettes This is not desir- able, and hereafter any employe caught smoking cigarettes will be dis missed from service.
 ''F. J. PAISLEY.
 Superintendent. ' IhlS bulletin was posted last Satur- day in the yard office and has occa- stoned much comment from the en- pioyes. many of whom are in the habit of smoking cigarettes, and the result of this recent order of the railroad company is being watched by the en- ployes with much interest.
 In conversation with one of the of ficials of the Rock Island company yesterday morning in regard to the bulletin, he said:
 The practice of smoking cigarettes is growing among the employees of the road, until it has reached such an eX- tent that the company must take some steps to check it. By experience we find that the man who is habitual smoker of cigarettes is not competent to discharge his duties as the employe who does not use them, and the bull letin issued by the company means just what it says, the employees of the company must either give up their ci- sarettes or give up their joEs.''

FICfAl CHANGES MADE IN

The beginning of an attempt 10 show
the reforms and improvements made
in the department OF public works
during administration Commits
sioner Haarer is made in letter TO
the common council in which he asks
that the streets committee be given
the work OF revising the bookkeeping
methods Of his Office.
During most of Haarers administra-
lion, he has been subjected To con-
slant criticism and nvestigations
for political reasons. He iras-felt- that
the number of change for the good
of the office which he has made have
been lost sight of in the constant
fault-finding.
When the committee goes at the
work OF revising the system, II Is ex-
pected that ii will discover that
sweeping and beneficial changes have
been made by Haarer In practically
every division OF his department.
In his letter. Haarer says that he
Goes not believe his system to be
perfect but has ideas which he wishes
TO work out He advises against any
hasty or ill-considered suggestions be-
ing adopted which might tend 10 con-
fusion rather than Improvement.
The divisions In which he has made
changes are the street cleaning, stor-
age yards, sewer, permit clerks Office,
sidewalk pay rolls and voucher and
