Tariff Commission Bill

WASHINGTON, Dec 5.-Representa-
tive Charles w. Fowler of New Jersey
gave out a statement to night outlining
the tariff commission BILL which he
will introduce in the house tomorrow.
1t provides that congress shall fix the
maximum and minimum tariff sched-
ules, and that the commission, consist
ing of j IS members, shall, with the ap-
proval of the president, fix the actual
rates to be paid at some point between
the maximum and minimum. No rate
so fixed is to become effective for Is
months after having been promulgated
by the president that every industry
affected by tariff changes may have
ample time to adjust itself to new con-
ditions.
Fowler declares that unless the re-
publican party gets rid of Aldriehism
and Cannonfsm the people will get rid
of the republican party"
He asserts that the peoples hopes
have been turned to disgust and their
faith to resentment, and he says he
does not believe that they will permit
Aldrich to pick their pockets through
the legerdemain of words" He prophe-
sizes "thunderbolt of righteous indig
nation and punitive wrath as about to
strike, shatter and paralyze the re-
publican party unless it utterly repudi-
ates Aldrichism and it's subservient i'm
plement, Cannonism."
Impending defeat and the loss Of the
next house of representatives, Fowler
says, can be avoided only ''by emblaz
oning on our party banners the pledges:
First, we are against Aldrichism
and Canronism; second, we demand tar
iff revision hereafter by evolution and
not revolution; third, we demand tariff
revision based on ascertained facts, and
not upon selfish trades and corrupt
agreements; fourth. we demand a per-
manent, broad and responsible tariff
commission which shall ascertain the
facts, obviate trade wars and assist in
securing and retaining the good will
and friendship of all nations by wise,
just and advantageous trade treaties =

The Boudoir

Care of the Hands-It is not as diff
cult to have pretty white hands as
many persons ina gine, for by constant
and unceasfnE care rough or red skin
can be softened and bleached, though
this can not be accomplished in a
weeks time To improve neglected
condition begin the treatment by care
fully cleansing the flesh of fingers,
palms, etc.
Ii is said of a dandy of olden times
that he never bathed his hands in
water. always in olive oil. This is
not sticky as might be thought, and
81 is essentially cleansing. One appli-
cation will remove the dirt and sec
ond to wash away the soiled oil. Very
thorough wiping afterward with soft,
thin linen would remove all the grease,
and the skin would then be cleansed
and nourished.
Few persons care to take this trouble
and such bathing is expensive. but
hard water is not to be used, no mat
ter how soiled the hands, indeed, the
dirtier they are the more harm Ii will
do Hard water does not remove dirt,
but it does dry and crack the surface,
so the soil is taken below the surface,
rendering the skin grimy and coarse.
IL is said and think truthfuliy, that
no woman should go away to make
even a short visit without taking some
powdered borax in her yalise. a tea
spoonful of this will soften a basinful
of the hardest water and render 1t
much better for the skin.

WHAT THE MAN SAYS.

That the women folk should not
overlook the matter of tastiness and

the reason that they are seen in these

pRospECrs FOR STATEHOOD

The opinion is quite general that New
Mexico and Arizona will attain to state
hood before the close of the session.
The president has promised that they
shall come in separately.
There also will be strenuous efforts
to get through postal savings bill and
a merchant marine bill, but both will
be opposed.
Both houses will probably adjourn
almost Immediately after convening on
Monday; the senate on account of the
death of Senator Johnson of North Da-
sota and the house because of the
deaths of Representatives de Almond
of Missouri and Lassiter of Virginia.
Thompson, who succeeds Johnson,
will be sworn in, as will be McCreedie
and Hawley, the one the successor of
Representative Cushman of Washing
ton and the other of Lorimer of Illi-
nois, elevated TO the senate.

Commission Bill, Scoring
Cannon and AIdrich

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-At noon to-
morrow the first regular session of the
sixty first congress will convene. Vice
President Sherman will preside in the
senate and Speaker Cannon in the
house.
Ordinarily Speaker Cannon and Sem
ator Aldrich, who speaks for the ma
iority of the senate, have a program at
the beginning of session, but this
year they have none; or, if they have,
they are not talking about it.
By common consent apparently, all
members of congress are holding back
until the presidents recommendations
can be received as they will be on
Tuesday, in his first annual message.
Even the Insurgents express will
ingness to wait upon the White House
before attempting to formulate plan
Of action, but they are avowedly ir-
reconciliable in their attitude toward
the speaker and Senator Aldrich, whom
they hold responsible, the one for the
house rules and the other for the pres
ent tariff.
PLANS FOR LEGISLATION
There is practically no prospect of
amending the rules of the house in this
session, and Indications are strong thai
there will be no general effort in that
direction. The principal interest in the
outlook centers in the possibility OF
railroad legislation.
Representative Mann has bills pre-
pared on all these poiats and will pre-
sent them as soon as the message is
received.
Much interest is felt in the Nicara-
guam situation. but the general disposi-
tion is to permit the executive branch
to deal with it without interference.
The attitude of Canada toward the
provisions of the tariff law regarding
print paper and wood pulp is giving
some concern.
