Philadelphia, Sept. 18.-The man. nish woman is preparing to launch herself upon us more vigorously than ever, but Philadelphia is prepared to resist her. She will snip few more inches from her skirt, wear a thor oughly masculine coat and vest and top it off with 9. soft hat.
 But she will not stop there. In fact, she hasn't stopped there, according to a dispatch from Paris for in ad- dition to carrying out all the fore- going ideas Miss Masculine has don- ned socks which leave her legs bare and public.
 Lay-Down Collar and Gravel.
 Of course the lay-down collar and four-in-hand tie go with the cos- tune. This enables the wearer to do away with the handbag and the purse for there are pockets galore in which she can have all the things that her feninity craves.
 Some believe that the present Partisan style, which is now cropping out here and there, is the result of places of men in many things, and it. seemed natural that they should drift into mems clothes.
 The fad is also being folloWrd in London by many women, who are not suffragists, and last week woman in New York appeared in one Of the mannish costumes. She attracted no end of attention, but no one sought to interefer with her constitutional rights in the matter. Should this masculine idea gain favor irs this country it would mark a new era in manufacturing. It would mean the elimination Of many of the fem

Political Groups are Opposed.to
Taking the Tariff out OF Politics
BY Laurence Todd
The Courier. Special Washington Correspondent

Washington, D. c., Dec. 1.-The
tariff will not be taken out of politics
this year Nor will it be taken out
next year. The notion in some quar-
tiers that the time is near at hand
when great non-partisan tariff COM
mission is to be formed and when
congress is to adopt it's findings is
yet a long distance from fulfillment.
Undoubtedly. the tariff commits
sion idea is growing. But the opposi-
ton to it also is strong. Moreover,
there is wide variance in the plans
proposed. Among some of the demo
Gratis there is a growing tendency to
support the plan Of a commission.
The same is true of the republicans.
On the other hand, the extreme
high tariff republicans are fatty OPP
posed to commission And those
democrats who believe in free trade
,, insist the tariff commission, is a mis-.
taken notion. What is the use cot a
tariff commission, they ask, If the
country is to have no tariff, as they
propose.
Although the bare possibility exists
that some plan for commission
might be worked out by congress- any
report it might make to that body
would be torn to pieces by the men
holding differing views as to where
duties ought to be fixed.
The probabilities are that by rea-
son OF the great conflict of opinion in
congress no legislation can be accom-
plished on this subject at the coming
session.
Republican Leader Mann in. "a recent
interview said he would reintroduce
his bill for tariff commission and,
would press it. He thinks the bust
ness men Of the nation want a COM
mission. Such commission, he says,
should merely report facts, not recon-
mendations, to congress.
Mr.. Mann, however is careful to
say that this would not take the tar
iff out Of politics. 1t would make the
work Of congress easier, but there
would still remain the same old con-
tention as to whether rates should be

CHICAGO IN NEED

high or low. Mr.. Mann is for com
mission because he believes it is es-
sential no matter where the tariff is
fixed to get at all the facts, such as
the facts as to costs, marketing and
the like.
Congress has never shown much of
disposition to accept the views OF
any commission it has authorized.
The only way in which the tariff com
mission promises to be put into law
and operated successfully is to provide
for high-grade commission in the
first place and then to appoint only
able men and economists of national
standing Scientific investigations and
findings by such commission would
have weight with the country and
hence with congress- 1t is clear that
unless the commission is big enough
Ito have standing with the country,
congress will take little stock in it.
The president, whoever he might be,
would have to appoint men for their
qualifications alone and ignore poll
tics. Otherwise, the commission
would be worse than useless.
Not much reason exists for the be-
lief the country is soon to get such
a commission

Pride and Punishment" - u Chron.

! In boyhood, when but sixteen years
| old, Uzziah came to the throne OF
| Israel. (The story in Kings gives his
name as Azariah, a mistake easily
made in the Hebrew.) His father had
been assassinated, after turning again
to heather practices, and the young
king. found himself at the parting OF
the ways. Royal stuff was in him, how
ever. and his course through Ions
years may be written down as a model
for every public official
He sought godly counsel, Finding a
prophet Zechariah mot the author OF
the book), who had clear vision, OF
God. Uzziah made him special conf.
dant and adviser He led the people
along the old, paths of righteousness.
When he might have been pampering
his vanity among foolish courtiers, the
young king diligently sought out the

feet of modern interpreter Of the
mind of God. To go to church is sa-
gacity; for after all. there is no wis

application as the will Of, the, Lord.
No mollycoddle was Uzziah. Do
not for an instant imagine that he was
| the, sort of spineless saint who pines
to sit and sing his soul away to ever
lasting bliss. Not BIZ, of 1T. This
ruler. who first of all sought, to know

he was devout in meditation. sort
of Richard the Lion Hearted was he,
going out to seek battles in the good
cause. He went forth and warred
against the Philistines,' and did not
wait until they came to him. One OF
Gods militants was he, whose sword
was to the fore in every holy war
preparedness in the Long Ago.
Many a class of men and Of boys
will study this lesson for it's light on
national preparedness. Uzziah was a
great general in that he created a

He did not believe in giving the, heath

felt Uzziah's strong hand. He smote
