- engagement in New York of
Maude Adams The spell of her
sweet personality is felt again in this
place almost as genuinely as the
swain feels the power of his lady
love when she comes back to the vii
lage after her trip to town.
Miss Adams has brought this year
new Barrie play What Every

charming. 1t is perfectly cast, with
Miss Adams the center of an interest

Maggie Wylie, that little brown

crept right into our hearts again, and
stays there more secure than ever.
1t is the quaint story of John Shand,
a Scotchman who in his sturdy and

his way into the Wylie's library to

he will marry Maggie. He accepts.

WHO MAKES THE sTvLesi

When a mere man looks at woman
as she Is clothed today. the hlpless.
bustless, curveless. hydrocephalic
creature that he once knew as the a.
vine incarnation OF his dreams Of femi.
ninity, he usually proposes the ques.
ton, who makes the styles? II isn't
worth while TO bother about the an.
swer Ot Is merely an interiection az
ter ALI. 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 as
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 passivity she secures
her position in the world. by IL she
secures a husband and keeps a roof
over her head. and It would be strange
and anomalous II she rose from IL and
rebelled against fashion. When the
dressmakers Of nearly all Of the civi-
lied countries OF the globe were in
session I'm 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 to
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
took the cue. They took
the last quicker 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 q a
of a foot az the top TO cut
on the possibility Of making over the
last years gown. They brought col
lars up TO the tips of the ears and
sleeves down TO the knuckles. Then
they crowned the hideOus achieve
meat 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 tTavesty they have
made OF the human form divine? So
far not a whisper from women, but
a chorus OF ecstacy rises TO the stars

The oEs MONIES PLAN.

Des Moines' experience with the
commission plan of city government
is attracting wide attention and the
fine showing made affords great en-
couragement to other cities to follow
It's example. The indianapolis News.
after giving the results OF the first
year in Des sdoines, concludes:
But il is efficiency that counts.
Ihis government has in two years
transformed deficit of $4,000 into
a surplus of $4,000 Every depart.
ment OF the government has been re-
organized. Every sinecure has been
abolished. There are no more polit-
zeal jobs. The streets have been bet
ter cleaned, better lighted and paved.
anu the whole physical condition Of
the city better ordered than ever. The
fundamental idea of a few well-paid
men TO manage the city's business
which distinguishes this plan was
urged by Governor Hughes commits
sion in its report on a better plan for
the government of New York City.
1t is simply the business idea. In a
large private concern capable men are
placed over different departments
They are paid suitable salaries. Their
policy Is outlined In council with the
firm. This is the whole method of the
Des Moines plan. 1t is the applica-
ton of the old and well tried methods
of private business to public affairs
without regard to politics and with
close watch possible because of the in
itiative and referendum and the re-
call"
There is no apparent reason why
the plan which has yielded such graf
flying results in Des Moines, Galves,
ton, Houston and other cities should
not work equally we'll in Keokuk. The
experience Of the communities that
have tried it has been that 1t combines
economy with efficiency, which are the
great ends sought in municipal admin
istration. In the light of all that is
known concerning the practical work
ing and results of the commission
plan there is great encouragement to
give it trial. A movement to this
end in Keokuk would command large
measure of public favor.

Where is the Fire?

burlington Hawk-Eye: In fervid
language Walter Wellman reveals TO
the astonished readers of the Chicago
aecord-Herald the news that the Re-
publicans are all split up over the
Payne tariff bill, and that the party
IS going to pieces. During the last
forty-eight years the Republican par
ty has made and unmade. amended and
revised, a great many tariffs. It is a
veteran in the business. 1t never has
gone TO wreck over task OF that kind
and II is highly improbable that it Will
&c out OF commission now.
A more alarming piece of informa.
ton that has oozed from Walters
vivid imagination is the alleged hot
indignation of the people of the Unit
ed States over the propose schedules.
II appears that everybody is intensely
excited and the whole country is in
vengefnl turmoil because while
much OF the revision is downward
there are some items with increases in
rates. Inasmuch as Mr.. Taft fore
casted all this in his presidential cam
paign. and the platform of the party,
and the party press prepared the pub
lie mind for the event, it is difficult
To believe that the woods are on fire
with public excitement over the pend
ing measure. And especially as the
Increases are for revenue and are
levied chiefly upon articles of luxury,
IL is hardly credible that the masses
will rise up in protest
good way to test the public tenn
per upon this fire alarm from Wash
ington by versatile and exuberant
correspondent, is for each reader of
the Hawk-Eye to circulate around in
his own neighborhood and by personal
inquiry ascertain how many of his
neighbors are wildly excited over the
new tariff bill. If he discovers that
the large majority of them are indif-
ferent to the whole subject, and others
have only languid interest in either
the schedules or the debates, he is
likely to reach the conclusion that
some Washington correspondents need
to be taken with reasonable discount.

Prohibition is Now Possible.


Cedar Rapids Republican: There is
one thing that the advocates of resub-
mission overlook and that is the fact
that prohibition can be had under the
present laws everywhere in this state.
They have it even in Ottumwa now.
1t does not require any additional leg
islation to get it. All that needs to he
done is to get the signers to the re-
monstrance. That is what made pro-
hibition effective in Ottumwa The de-
mand for new law, or constitutional
amendment is not necessary to en-
brace prohibition II it is said in reply
that in some communities they can
not get the necessary signers to re-
monstrance, then it may be said that
that community does not want prohi-
bition and we ought at least 10 perm
the majority to rule. That is the prin-
ciple on which our government is
founded. AS matter of fact in the
counties 80 per cent are given under
the present law the power of a major
ity; that is So per cent signing for rro-
hibit.on would make the saloon i'm
possible in any ordinary county.
We have, we believe. fair law, a
law under which prohibition can be
made state wide, so soon as the peo-
pie are brought over to that view and
we believe also that the people have
been educated in that direction during
the past few years. We believe that
within ten years with the present
progress along these lines. VIC will
have prohibition in practically every
part of Iowa-we have it now in two
thirds of the state-and that without
additional law on the statute books.
That is why we can not see why
we should now change our policy, why
ye have been progressing and that is
why we believe this method will be
much safer than a mere fat of law
compelling men to come to one view
at once.
