from French Domination.
From the New York Tribune.
I A resolution establishing the indepen-
dence OF the American designers OF fash
ions from the creations adopted as stand
ards by the cloak and suit makers OF
Paris marked the opening OF the third
semi-annual convention OF the Ladies'
Cloak and Suit Designers Association OF
America at the Hotel Astor.
Morris Laufer, president or the associa-
ton. declared in his opening address that
the worst evil in the trade in former
years had been the dependence upon
Paris OF the American designer. Owing
to the lateness OF the opening OF the
Paris season many delays detrimental to
American business often resulted, and as
the designers OF garments in this coun-
try have shown that they Can be de-
pended on IL was Mr.. Laufer's contention
that the time for the establishment OF
American independence had arrived.
MIR. Laufer's suggestion was embodied
In a resolution, to which there was not
a dissenting vote.
The convention extended the liberation
from Partisan domination at the night
session to include standard length for
suit coats for the season OF lyl2-l5. which
1t fixed at thirty-two inches, regardless
OF what the fashion makers abroad might
say.

why does baseball pitcher get q

Until lately the college professor has
been impractical regarding his own per

who are doing the work OF the world.

What is the greatest question before
the American people?''
Socialism; and our State universities,
though the most potent democratlzing
factors In our national life, are giving
greater check to the socialistic tendency
than is any other agency. Here incipient
engineers, doctors, farmers, and home
makers meet on equal levels with those
who are pursuing their broader studies
in the liberal arts. Here the scions of
the favored rich. the sons and daughters
OF the great middle class and the favored
poor 1ostle against each other and mingle
in student fellowship. But while these
universities are productive of the spirit
OF democracy they are the most i'm
placable foes of that monstrous menace
to the civilization OF the day. which is
miscalled socialism. Karl Marx and
August Rebel and II. G. Wells and
Charles Edward Russell are in rebellion
against things as they are. BY their the
ory Of socialism they would reduce all
men to the same dead level. g..

Most Formidable of
The Manlike Apes

It is beyond question that. of all the
existing man apes the gorilla Is the most
formidable, a large male standing not In
frequently over five feet six inches in
height. and bones being known OF one
that apparently me easured in life no less
than six feet two inches. 1t Is not, the
ZOO experts now know from years OF
experience, utterly untamable. which for
many years was thought TO be the case:
but is is savage and morose enough. when
all is said. says the Philadelphia Rec
ord.
1t Is stiI uncertain whether in a wild
state. except In the moment of attack,
II ever actually walks erect without rest
ing its knuckles on the ground or-sup-
porting Itself by a branch overhead but
that II does beat its fists upon its breast
when enraged is established. Then. too.
when the male gorilla turns. as IL SEEM
ingly does. to confront man fearlessly
when attacked. its huge size. its great
hairy limbs. its hiceous head set down al
most into its shoulders. all go to con-
tribute to the horror Of its appearance.
Add TO that the fact that the gorilla
usually lives in the depths OF forests,
where the light Is so dim that II is diff
cult TO discern any object clearly at a
distance Of more than few yards, and
II Is not TO be wondered at that natives
have invested IL with attributes even
more horrible than Il really possesses.
Many believe the gorilla to be human:
others hold that. though itself a beast,
II Is often possessed by the transmit
grated spirits of the human dead. II
Is said to lie in wait crouched upon the
lower branches OF overhanginG trees. and
when a human being passes to drop one
of its long mind limbs. and. cIutching
the victim by the throat so suddenly
and in SO terrible a grip that hardly
sound Is heard. TO drag it-man or wom-
an-up to its lair. II is credited with cap
turing and carrying on women to keep
them in the forest. Armed with clubs.
IL is reported to have attacked ele-
plants. The formidableness of the great
apes as compared with other beasts, how
ever, Is not an easy matter 10 pass upon.
In Africa II Is noteworthy that the lion
and the gorilla do not occur together.
and II has been conJectured that the lion
has exterminated the gorilla within its
territory or that the gorilla has driveo out
the lion.
Some Native Myths.
In Borneo the most serious neighbors
of the orang are the python and the
crocodile. and the natives say that the
ape oYercomes them both, the python
by seizing, and biting II. and the croco-
die by leaping on its back. clutching II
by the Jaw and by sheer main strength
tearing IL open The name "orang'' Is
in itself a title OF honor, meaning rough
ly. tine wise one" and the Malays give
II alike TO their chiefs. to elephants and
to the wild men,"
Perhaps, however, no native myth ex-
ceeds in wonder the statement of Emin
Pasha, made seriously. that In Mbongwe
forest the chimpanZees used TO come and

bearing torches to light them on the
way! Had not witnessed this extraor-

which has been seriously agi-
tatIng religious and other circles for
the past nine months. The sub
3ect has gained wide publicity, and,
naturally, his decision has been an
tlcipated with much interest by all
concerned.
The question was thrust upon the
President by former Commissioner
Valentine ordering that the teachers
in the Indian Government schools
should not wear a distinctive reli-
gious garb while engaged in lay du-
ties as Government employees.
Taft's present ruling, which is said
to be the FINAL step" in the con-
froversy, is to the effect that it is
proper for the nuns to continue in
service as teachers in the Indian
Government schools while wearing
their religious garbs, but that no
more teachers wearing such garbs
are hereafter to be admitted to the
Government service.
1t was to be expected that the
President would decide in favor of
the nuns, since it appears to have
been the policy throughout his adj
ministration to favor the Roman
Catholic Hierarchy and all connected
with it whenever possible. The rul-
ing undoubtedly is a decisive vic
tory for the Catholic church. 1t may
aid considerably Mr.. Taft in his
fight for reelection.
Stated simply the issue is this:
Indian Commissioner Valentine said
1t is fundamentally wrong for any
teacher, present or future, to wear
a religious garb while teaching in
the Government schools.
Taft says it is not wrong as far as
the present teacher-nunss are con-
cerned, but it would be wrong for
any future teacher to wear dis
tinctive garb. In other words, the
wearing of religious garb is proper
at one time and improper at another
time-improper after the present
teacher-nunS are dead and gone.
1t is needless to say that the peo-
pie generally will agree with Mr..
Valentine in believing that what will
be wrong in the future must be
wrong in the present, conditions re-
manning the same.
The President urges Gay "the
tWCoA 4AS VI 1GllSiOuS
garb is not violation of any con-
stitutional limitation with respect
to religion; CD that it does not vio-
late the freedom of religion; Co
that it does not constitute an es-
tablished religion; and CD it does
not prevent or impair the separa-
ton Of Church and state" Now if
the wearing Of religious garb by a
teacher of a Government school is
not, or does not do, the thing or
things mentioned by the President,
it is incumbent upon him to explain
what makes the wearing Of reli-
gious garb improper and prohibitory
some time in the future-after the
last of the fifty-one teacher-nuns
die. If no one Of the four factors
above mentioned operates as a valid
reason for prohibiting the wearing
of the garb, there must be some 9th
er reason. for the President admits
as much by prohibiting any new
teacher from wearing the garb. Can
the President come out frankly and
state the reason without conceding
one that would be valid against the
present teachers?
Taft's sole excuse for ruling in a
manner to retain the nuns and to
incidentally make a sorry spectacle
of himself, is the avoidance Of hard
ship to the nuns in question, which
