THE CLOTHES QUESTION

The ladies gathered in Chicago for
the annual convention Of the Cen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs
are considering the question of dress
dress for women. They have be-
fore their gathering resolution
which condemns extreme styles, es-
pecially if imported from the other
side of the water. Extreme styles,
if the phrase is understood, means
styles which involve taking off just
as much clothing as possible, and
covering as much of the person as
may lie, while concealing as little as
practicable.
The crusade in favor of more
clothes for the ladies has been going
on quite some time, and its progress
has been marked by a progressive
dirninution of the raimert ,and by
the adoption, on the whole, of rath-
er more bizarre styles. 1t seems
rather useless 10 appeal to the dear
creatures so long as their clothes
win the tribute of admiring-if that
is the right word-attention.
Moreover, the present protest
seems seasonably ill-timed. With
the thermometers mercury column
flirting with the century point, the
ladies are the objects more of the
envy than of the disapproval of the
men. Why wouldn't it be a good
idea for the ladies at Chicago to de-
vote some attention to reforming the
dress of men, Must the men for
ever go on wearing the raiment of
an Arctic explorer during the tropic
months, with hard-boiled headgear
and nickeled-steel ncckwear? Can
there be no relief from the rule that
shirtsleeves are barbarous? Shall
the ladies be permitted a monopoly
of clothes comfort, as the ad-writers
say?
There is a theory-to which we
firmly decline to subscribe, by the
way-that the women dress to please
the men. As that theory appears to
nave a majority of support, let it
be accepted as correct, for the pur-
poses cf moments argument. Then,
if the women dress to please the
men, is it not logical to assume that
the men. if properly approached,
would be disposed to reciprocate by
dressing to please the women?
If we can agree on this much, the
next step is easy. LeS the ladies
initiate a crusade for sensible sum-
mer clothing for the men, and con-
vey to the men the distinct under
standing that it will please the ladies
if the saner costumes are adopted.
Then, if the men really are willing
to dress as the ladies would like, the
victory is won. The men could dis
card half their clothes with no loss
of propriety and a distinct gain in
comfort; while the ladies might cas-
lily put on a corresponding amount
of material. the economic balance,
as viewed by the manufacturers of
materials, would be preserved, and
everybody ought to be happy.

''Frinedship Is not only noble
and beautiful thing for the individual
but the realization of It is the ideal
for the State"
The settlement stands. for the
more abundant life 1t Is interest

Of the agencies which exist for the
dren are being horn daily into homes
where under present conditions they
will have little chance 70 develop
to the fullest the possibilities that
lie In them.
Many of these conditions exist be-
cause the general public has not
been made to realize the situation.
How little the people OF some social
groups know the life led by those
edge Is responsible for many OF the
existing needs.
1t is here that the settlements have
contributed an important service to
humanity. They have not only ac-
quired a knowledge of tine condi-
tions under which their neigiuoors
and friends work. but they have
been the medium through which this
knowledge has been brought to the
general public.
Just because the settlement touches
upon every side of life. and does not
deal with a single distinct phase
people have very vague idea Of
what a settlement realty IL. Yet the
settlement has q definite plan of en-
deavor, its first business being to
study the neishbornood and all the
factors at work there with a view
to deciding which of the greatest
needs Of its community Il can best
serve.
Made Survey Of Field.
Having made a survey of the field.
the next step Is to check up those
social factors that are cared for by
other organizations. cases coming
under this category being referred
to the proper agencies. In this con-
nection. too. the settlement has its
mission, for 1t acts as a kind of
mediator between the people Of its
neighborhood and the larger and
more formal civic institutions of
which the unfortunate (particularly
those inexperienced In misfortune)
often stand In awe
With the apparently large number
of institutions and agencies doing
surprising. indeed, to learn how
many gaps stili remain to be filled,
and here again the settlement steps
in and endeayors to fill these gaps
so far as possible.

MORGAN TALKS BUSINESS AT

Financier Meets President and Holds First of Series of Conferences - Presl- dent Plans Dealing With Conditions

Morgan knew the president at Princeton and the personal element in the call was large one. Whether Morgan came on his own initiative or an invitation from the president was not established. Officials said Morgan asked for an engagement, and another version was that mutual friends arranged for Morgan and the president to talk things over"
 The president said the attitude of business men seemed to be growing in favor of an administrative trust pro- gram. White House officials declared the president had no thought of al tering his legislative program. Morgan later visited the senate, where the doorkeeper barred the way to the pri- vate gallery used by guests and sena- tors.

Says if Treaty is Put Through for Payment of $25, 100000 to Colombia, Administration Forfeits Right of Respect
SAYS DUBOIS
 ONLY INSTRUMENT
Holds Wilson Personally Responsible for the Final Act of Approving Treaty and Involves Secretary Bryan
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPATcH1

OYSTER BAY, July Eff the Wilson administration puts through the treaty with Colombia, providing for the payment of $25, 5,000,000. as- serted Colonel Roosevelt in @ state ment tonight, it will forfeit all right to the respect of the people of the United States. Roosevelts statement was drawn out by that of James T. Dubois, former ministe- to Colom- bia, who assailed the acts of the Roosevelt administration in connec- ton with the Panama revolution.
 The former president barely re- ferred to the Dubois statement, how ever, but plunged into denuncia- ton of the treaty before the senate.
 q have nothing to say about Du- bois,' the colonel said in his state ment He was merely an instru ment. Wilson is responsible for the payment of blackmail to Colombia. Whether he did it on his own in itiative OF at the instigation of Bry- an is wholly unimportant, and it is infinitely less important what par ticular subordinate was chosen to carry through the discreditable trans action or to apologize for it in the public press.
 Neither Wilson nor Bryan can answer my statement,' continued the statement. The payment, if made, will be the naked payment Of belated blacllmail, and the mere proposal to make it is an outrage on the honor and a heavy blow to the interests of the American people.
 There is small wonder that many hundreds of Americans in Mexico have been endeavoring to become British, French or German subjects in order to get some protection from some government.
 An administration that will con :. ciude such a treaty as this for pay ment of blackmail to Colombia has fo-efeited the right to the respect of the people of the United States
 Colonel Roosevelts reference to Mir. Dubois as an instrument" related to the draft of the treaty with Colom- bia, prepared by MT. Dubois, which Secretary Bryan made public recent ly with the object of showing that the Taft administration was willing to express regret to Colombia for acts of the Roosevelt administration. It was said later, however, that this draft never was approved by the Taft administration
