ly to the revised corporation tax pro-
vision, which was adopted.
An effort was made today to dispose
of the wood pulp and print paper sched-
ulle. The retaliatory provision con-
cerning pulp was rewritten, and it is
now believed that it will prove salts
factory to American mills. The print
paper schedule is still in controversy.
The only controversy expected on
the cotton schedule relates to hosiery.
Representative Payne stands firmly for
higher duties and the other house con-
ferees are likely to sustain him.

IN MALE ATTIRE.
TBur]ington Hawkeve 7

In these days when women are rap
idly taking the place of men in some
kinds of employment, and even Chi
cago has placed a lady superintendent
over her great public school system.
there are still prosecutions of the
gentler sex who have arrayed them
selves in overalls, in the hope of thus
making an easier living, or of getting
over the country unmolested The
question is asked, why should a worn-
an be fined in the twentieth century for
wearing mans garb? In fact WHY
should woman have been subject to a
fine at any time for appearing in the
garments which man has reserved for
himself? There must be good reason
for it. and perhaps some one who, has
not been out of law school too long to
have forgotten whole mountains of lore
which he was supposed to assimilate
may be able to trace down thru the
ages the story of the woman who
wanted to wear trousers and who was
bounded to death for trying to do So
Some deliver into ancient libraries and
ancient lore may find the beginning Of
the custom of prosecuting women for
wearing the garb peculiar to the male
sex. And when he does he will prob
ably find that the prosecution was
based on custom which makes social
law. and which is necessary to the
well-being of men and women in their
mutual relationship.
Now. there Is the new superinten-
dent of public instruction in the city
of Chicago. and there are several mill
lions of other women who are holding
down mems Jobs in this country, OF.
rather, jobs that We're once held down
by men. They have captured the jobs,
they are doing mems work, and the
question is asked why rot let them
wear male attire unm olested, with none
to make them afraid, if they choose
to do so?
The answer probably is that the
women referred to won their positions
as women, CARRIED as women and in
their right minds. and would be the
very last to think of changing their
womanly garments under the circum-
stances.
In this connection one might ask,
would any successful woman have
gained her advancement If masquerad-
ing in male attire? HOW long would

FIVE AND TEN ACRE TRACTS.
TCedar RAPIDS Republican.7


Malcolm v. Bolton and his associates
may not look at it in that way, but in
Offering the people OF Cedar Rapids
five and ten acre tracts, they are con-
ferring favor on the city and on those
who are fortunate enough to be able
to interest themselves. We believe there
is a great fortune before the five and
ten acre farm in this part of the world.
Such a farm will be found capable Of
supporting a family, in the future,
without other aids. The market for the
stuffs that can be grown on such
patches is constantly increasing one.
For man who works for wages, or for
salary, if he can get the means, there
is no better investment to be found,
provided he is a man who is willing to
do little work on the side. In
European countries such tracts would
be considered large farms, capable Of
supporting large families. We are COM
ing to the same conditions in this coun-
try. Land is going to be the best asset.
Thousands who are now striving in the
cities are going to return to the land,
