Plainly Class LenlsIation

The Aldrich tariff law, declared by
Republican leaders in congress to
have redeemed pledges made to the
people in 1908, is d~eceiving no me.
Were every other evidence wanting
Of its being class legislation, the reso-
lutions Of congratulation being passed
by special interests in convention all
over the country would be sufficient
to put the people wise. These reso-
buttons, both congratulatory and com
mandatory, leave no doubt whatever
that special interests have obtained
from congress the legislation de.
manded by them, for further promot-
ing their exploitation Of the consumer.
If special interests have secured
what they want, Republican pledges
to the people have not been redeemed.

FIT INTO A DRESSING CASE
Umbrellas Now Made So They Fold
Great Convenience for the
Traveller.

Umbrellas which can be folded to
tit into a 24-inch dressing case are the
only type which now appeal to the
college girl who does not like to he
burdened with more than n package
When travelling. These folding nm.
brellas come in black, tan, taupe, dark
red, blue. brown and green twilled
silk, mounted upon steel frames and
usually have wooden handles. Among
the newest umbrella handles is one Of
tiattened top, shaped somewhat like,
a huge button and about two and one
half inches across. Other wooden
handles are carved to represent tn.
heads OF cats, dogs, owls and butter
flies. They are usually of natural col
ored oak, ebony or mahogany, but oc-
%casionally n is stained to match the
silk covering of its frame. Very smart
umbrellas which particularly appeal to
girls of artistic as well as extravagant
tastes have satin finished white wood
handles, with tops of onyx, Jade or
carved dull red quartz. They are dec,

them, supporting the short locks at
the nape Of the neck, which usually
prove SO refractory. Finishing touches
are given by pulling the side hair
against the puffs and pinning 1t to
them with invisible pins and curling
any short locks which may struggle
about the nape of the neck into little
rings. These are held in place with
the fluid which hairdressers use for
that purpose.
The natural hair. unless very curly,
will not make satisfactory curls and
puffs, and even when one possesses
the requisite quantity of naturally
curly hair 1t is much more difficult to
manage than the false hair. Moreover,
it will not stay well dressed as long
and consumes far more time in doing.
so that 1t Is economy to buy puffs and
curls. OF all things, however, one
should get a perfect match in color
and texture to ones own hair.
When the natural hair is very thin
1t will be necessary to use additional
hair across the front of the head, for
the hair dress just described. Sew,
eral styles are made in front pieces
that will fill all the requirements, and
when combed in with the natural hair
are not to be detected. In adjusting
the hat to this couture a portion Of
the hair about the face should be
pinned to the underbrim or facing of
the hat.

Wages and the Tariff.

The false pretense that the mo-
nopoly tariff in this country is main
tanned in order that the American
workingman may be better paid than
the ''pauper" laborer of Europe is dis
credited by the fact that in free trade
England wages are higher and cost of
living lower than in any other coun-
try Of Europe.
The protected American manufac-
turer pays his operatives no more
than the labor market compels him
to pay. And in proportion as the
money wage in this country is higher
than in Europe the tariff increases the
cost of everything that the American
workingman must buy. The tariff
with one hand takes from the Ameri-
can w%orkingman everything it gives
him with the other.

Even if Secretary Wilson does say
that the average laborer of to-day is
living better than Queen Elizabeth
lived in her day, what of it? The as
sertion is only partly true, at the
best, and as a representation of the
financial and social advantages of the
laborer in this day-which is the day
in which the laborer is living-it is
entirely fallacious and misleading. If
Queen Elizabeth were living to-day,
she would not be living as the la.
borer of to-day lives, and that is the
important thing. Mr.. Wilson goes on
to say that most of the laborers in
Washington-and incidentally all over
the east-eat meat three times a day.
are not content with any but the best
cuts, and can afford them. If the sec
rotary will walk through the markets
Of Washington he will discover that
the inferior cuts, so-called, are dis
played in great abundance. Who buys
them? Somebody; or the traders
would not have them for sale. Hardly
the residents Of Dupont circle, and
only to a limited extent the steward
Of the New Willard hotel. Perhaps
the secretary of the agricultural depart
ment and the forces under his com,
mand; but we suspect that he would
find laborers of Washington purchas-
ing largely Of the relatively cheap
cuts. So everywhere. The laborers,
in spite of the honorable secretary of
agriculture, cannot afford to buy the
expensive meats and eat them three
times a day. Why should he infict
such nonsense on the people?-New

WEST TO BE HEARD
HENcEFoRTH WILL TAKE PROP,
Err PLACE IN POLITICS.
Most Intensely National Section Of
the Country Means to Have POSI-
ton Commensurate to
Its Worth.

The great west has changed its pc.
litical mood. 1t is a proud domain.
In fact, it has the name of being
somewhat boastful. 1t is happy in it's
vast material possessions. 1t has a
just pride in its rapid Development
its great farms and ranches, it's enor.
nous crops and herds, its growing
cities, its wealth, its standards OF
living. 1t is not afraid to compare its
state and municipal governments with
those of other sections. 1t envies no
other section, no other country. Its
view is broad and intelligent.
Yet this great productive, potential
region, growing in material wealth
and in commercial and industrial pow.
er, the granary Of the nation and the
reliance of the world for bread, has
held a subservient position in national
politics.
The Democracy of the south dom
mates the Democracy of the west.
The Republicanism of the east dom
mates the Republicanism of the
west. The country has just witnessed
the remarkable spectacle of a major
lty OF western congressman and sena-
tors following the lead of New Eng
land, more particularly the dictation
OF Aldrich of Rhode Island, on roll
call after roll call in the tariff session
OF congress, and in defiance not only
of the national platform of the Re-
publican party, but of a tariff plank
that the west forced into that plat
form and also in defiance of the posi-
ton and pledges of a president whose
nomination was compelled by the
west.
The nomination and election of
President Taft was a western achieve.
ment, and 1t was an achievement
based on the avowed tariff reform
policies of the president. In no other
presidential contest did the west play
such a potential part. If this victory
had been followed by absolute loyalty
on the part of all western representa-.
t1Ves in congress, the rightful result
OF that nomination and election would
have been accomplished. That re-
suit would not have been the substitu-
ton OF a new sectional tariff for an
old sectional tariff, but a nationalist
ton OF the tariff. The west is not
seeking to secure any advantage over
any other section of the country. but
to secure its own, and to relieve the
people OF all sections Of the gross. i'm
moral and ~burdensome abuses that
have grown out of the tariff system,
Fol the present the great west has
a program of its own. 1t is going to
do some house cleaning. 1t has dem
onstrated that Its people can make
themselves heard in party nominal
tons and national elections. Now it
is going to demonstrate that it can
secure consistent obedience and rem
resentation at the hands OF it's con-
gressmen and senators. 1t is not
going to consent longer to the control
OF national legislation from the little
state of Rhode Island.-Kansas CITY

The beautiful hair dress shown here

Is a pleasure to reproduce it for our
readers. Without the small pleasing

the Psyche couture, and is thoroughly
practical for present millinery modes.
The hairdresser has taken certain
small liberties with her classic model
IN order to accommodate the couture
to the hat and brow of the wearer,
and they have turned out to be an
Improvement, since they enhance the
beauty Of both the face and hat. The
head dress, shown in our photograph,
was adapted specially to this couture
and leaves nothing to be desired.
1t may be said In passing that the
head dress shown Is made of gold rib

gold. The aigrette at the side is pure

1t does not require an undan
OF natural hair to build this style of
couture. The hair, however. must he
waved before 1t is dressed. The ree.
ular ondulations of the Marcel wave
may be used, but are not absolutely
essential. The hair is parted off In
the usual manner, and that portion
about the face and neck waved in
loose. irregular curves. All the re-
mainder of the hair (much or little) is
tied at the back of the head and mr..
ranged in a coil. This forms the foun-
dation for the balance of the couture.

small portion of the waved hair on
top Of the head is treated in the same
way and brought back lying loosely
over the top, with it's end fastened un-
der the coil. The hair across the fore
head is arranged in a loose pompa-
dour, the ends lightly twisted, and

under that portion on top Of the head
which has already been fastened into

President Admits That Wool Inter
ests Dominate Party, but Why
Is II Thus?

Mr.. Taft has made it clear that the
wool men had the votes in congress
to defeat the Payne-Aldrich bill. He
made 1t equally clear that they would
have defeated the bill reported from
either committee" If the wool SEIZED
ule had been changed or lowered. He
has admitted that it was better to
pass a bill which did not meet his in
depreciation Of the platform pledge
and was, in effect, a reputation of the
platform promises, than to have re-
fused to let the wool men have their
way.
Where did the wool men get such
a grip on the Republican party? How
did they gain such a hold that failure
to accede to their will would have de-
feated the party program in its en-.
tirety? Obviously the majority of rep
r~esentatives and senator's were more
loyal to the wool interests than to
the party. No other Interpretation of
the presidents language is possible.
1t was plainly wool first and the plat.
form afterwards.
1t is probable Mr.. Taft will make
other speeches in which he will eluci-
date other mysteries of tariff legisla-
ton. He should not fail to explain
this n to an anxious people who
have heard from him that party soil.
darity is more important than the in
hibitions of co%nsciences. He must ex-
plain how it was that the wool inter-
ests were cocksure that the wool
schedule would not be touched. He
must explain their settlement of the
schedule before the Republican con.
vention.

Taft Stands with AIdrich.

People of the west no longer are
left in doubt where President Taft
stands on the tariff question. His at
titude is that of Nelson w. Aldrich
Of the Massachusetts mill owner, and
Of the trust millionaires who have
piled up huge fortunes through iniqui-
tous taxation of the necessities of
their fellow men.
"The tariff bill is the best the Re-
publican party has ever passed."
declares President Taft. In addition
he tacitly scores Republican senators
and congressman who voted against
the bill and asserts that further revi-
sion Of the tariff at this time is not
to be thought of.
