The shipbuilding industry In Eng
hnd has been greatly depressed on
aocOunt Of the strikes which have last
Cd for several months. An agreement
has now been ratified between en-
ployer and men by which the strike
viil end and the relation between the
no parties put upon a satisfactory
oaHis. Under the arrangement no
mall union can create a strike, and
ali questions arising will be thorough
y and amicably discussed by the rep
fesentatives Of employers and unions
ano every possible plan adopted 20
prevent a strike or lockout. The
AsFeement will probably have far
reaching consequences on labor and
capital elsewhere.

WHO MAKES THE sTVLEsf

When a mere man looks at woman
as she IL clothed today. the hipless.
bustless, curveless, hydrOcephallc
creature that he once knew as the d.
vine incarnation Of his dreams OF femi
ninity. he usually proposes the cues.
ton. who makes the styles7 II isn't
worth while 90 bother about the an.
swer (it o. merely an interieCtion nj.
ter alD, for dear woman cares not who
makes the styles so long as someone
provides her with the money to wear
them. But the question. after all. Is
not unanswerable. The tailors and
dressmakers and milliners make the
styles. and woman accepts them a.
she has accepted her convictions. her
morals. and her entire relation to life.
without question. Woman Is funda-
mentally a passive creature. and she
has learned well her lesson that in
her passivity she finds her greatest
power. by her passlvity she secures
her position in the world. by Il she
secures a husband and keeps a roof
over her head. and Il would be strange
and anomalous II she rose from IL and
rebelled against fashion. When the
dressmakers OF nearly all Of the civil
lized countries Of the globe were In
session in Paris last year the greatest
of all Paris tailOrs rose and explained
the situation to the bewildered and de-
spairing fashion makers. The United
States has passed through a panic, he
said, and there are sure TO be hard
times ahead. II Bryan is elected we
are lost. Unless we invent some en-
tirely new style of gowns and hats we
shall have no orders. Women will
wear their old clothes for ecOnOmy's
sake, and unless they can be made 20
feel the hopelessness OF their old
gowns we shall have no orders. There
fore the pleated skirt, the short sleeve,
the normal waist line and the be-
coming hat must go. Promptly the
dressmakers took the cue. They took
the last pucker OF fullness out Of the
skirt and put on the market the abOmi-
nation known as the sheath skirt.
They added a dozen inches TO its
length at the bottom and raised IL
fraction of a foot at the top TO cut
OF the possibility of making over the
last years gown. They brought col
lars up 20 the tips OF the ears and
sleeves down to the knuckles. Then
they crowned the hideOus achieve
ment with a mOnstrous hat that de-
fed every law OF beauty and aesthet-
les. They introduced iron clad corsets
that suppress hips, bust and breathing.
but has anyone heard a wOman's voice
raised against the travesty they have
made Of the human form divine? So
far not a whisper from women, but
chorus Of ecstacy rises to the stars
with the latest announcement that the
sheath gown, the merry widow hat
and the hunch-back blouse are out.
And all the time the men are demand
ing who makes the styles?" and the
women are busy calculating where the
money Is 20 come from TO buy all
Of the new delightful and enchanting
things that are going 10 be the fashion.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record says: IF
business isn't booming quite as was
hoped for. there is no question about
the radical Improvement of things
since a year ago. One evidence Of
this cited By Dunn's Review Is that
the bank clearings in 10 cities were
Sl4. COS. 261 ,453 last month. against only
S11 1886. 4S3,s36 I'm January, 19OS-an
increase Of more than % per cent In
many Of the cities the clearings were
larger last month than they were I'm
January. 1907, when business was at
its hight. But for the great shrinkage
In stock business In New York the
clearings of the country would have
run above those Of two years ago. II
there Is still some idle machinery. the
volume of trade must be very nearly
normal"
The indianapolis News says: The
edge OF folly in this Is that neither
the japanese nor any other people are
trying TO encrOach on our rights or as
simulate with our race. Zone Of the
standing accusations against them Is
that they do not assimilate.) The
Japanese are entitled % their treaty
rights and under them In this country
20 the equal protection Of our laws.
That Is all. They may be legislated
against I'm terms that legislate against
all aliens; but they cannot be dis
eliminated against And II California
and Nevada think that We can or will
put a wall around the country TO shut
out a particular people from ordinary
intercourse-sucha as We extOrted from
Japan for ourselves by our warships.
they are thinking m terms Of the
Chinese and japanese OF dead and
gone generations and not az all In the
spirit OF America or the world today.
The Washington Post says: "All
Americans. We feel sure. want 90 re-
tain the friendship OF Japan. and are
always ready to give proof OF their
good faith. But they cannot faWn, and
they will not deceive. They will look
after their own welfare. as all nations
must do They will not truckle 10 any
nation In order % obtain consent 20
exercise their own rights In their own
country. Ifany nation should demand
as the price OF friendship, any con
cession from the United States which
cannot be granted In honor, self
respect. or courtesy. the demand will
be- refused Such friendship Is not
worth having The friendship which
Americans desire 90 maintain with
Japan d that OF mutual respect and
scrupulous Observance OF mutual
rights The friendship that must be-
bought by subscryience O. not wanted
and the friendship that cannot last
without continual outpOurings Of regard

FALL PAINTING.

The majority of property owners
are under the impression that spring
time is the only painting time. But
the fall of the year offers several ad.
vantages to the painter. One Of the
most important is that surfaces are
almost sure to be dry, and there is no
frost or inner moisture to work out
after the paint is applied.

Not Downward Revision.

The "tariff reduction on lumber"
seems to be working splendidly-for
those who control the supply. Build
ers are informed that in contracting
for work they must add at least 25
per cent. In figuring the cost OF the
lumber. This means that II is going
TO be harder to buy houses as well
as harder to sell them. Why this is
30 II is not hard to understand. Where
lumber is in any way manipulated so
that II can pass from the mill TO the
builder without further manipulation.
the tariff on such lumber has been in
creased. Mill owners on this side of
the line have taken advantage Of the
new rates to boost the cost to the con-
sumer. AS lumber In the United States
Is disappearing rapidly there Is real
cause for the marked increase in cost.
But this recent marked advance in
lumber prices can be laid at the door
OF the new tariff law, which did not
make the revision downward.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1909-09-23
Power Of Trusts Increased.

The truth Is that the tariff has been
revised, on the whole, in the interest
of the privileged beneficiaries who
ever since the days OF the Mckinley
act have received the lions share OF
the favors bestowed by Republican
legislators. There Is not monopoly
or trust in the United States which
will be made to loosen its hold on the
masses by reason of the Aldrich re-.
vision of the schedules. The majority
in which. in the making of
tariffs, is to all practical intents and
purposes Senator Aldrich-have left
the consumers in the clutches OF the
trusts. The strangle hold of monopoly
has not been broken. II II had been
the purpose of Mr.. Aldrich to give the
masses tho benefit of honest tariff re-
vision, would the wool schedules OF
the new act be what they are? Would
the duty on manufactures of cotton
goods have been framed VIGOROUSLY
In the interest of the manufacturers OF
New England? Would the sugar trust
have been treated with such gracious
consideration?
