But One Look at the Tea
Time Models and She's
Sure She's in the
Wrong Pen.
By FAY KING.

Say, did you ever go lame in
both elbows working on q home
made marcel wave after losing a
whole nights sleep tossing around
on q head full of tin kinkers,
and then get all dolled up in your
other hat and your other dress
and your other shoes and even
put a cover on your umbrella,
and leave the barrier feeling like
the winner Of the handicap?
You sprint down the avenue
bowling over q million people to
get the windowgraph on yourself
as you trot along and you think
it's easy guessing why the folks
from Kansas mistake you for the
best dressed woman in Washing
ton.
Pretty soon you blow into q
swell tea arena.
For about five minutes after
you drape yourself in the green
silk furniture everything seems
great; but, alas! II amt long
after you begin TO look 'em over
that you begin to think you've
got an awful nerve living with a
face like yours.
And the old ehapeau that looks
so nifty In the third floor back
amt such q riot out among the
models. And you kinda stink in
from the cars down to the heel,
and try to hide behind the old
rain shield. You take the cover
off because then its q wider bar
rage.
All; how can they be so beau
tiful and live?
Even II you don't fall for any
purple electrics, or platinum fox
furs, Il must be great to have one
OF those gorgeous tooth paste
faces so that when you turn down
the sabIes and back pearls you
get credit for IL.
Gee, it must be great to be
beautiful!

NOT
TOHEAD D. c.
COMMITTEE
His Refusal Means That Sena-
tor Sherman, PrOtiteer
Fighter, viii Take Post.

Senator Kenyon of Iowa, who has
been much mentioned as probable
chairman of the Senate District Com
mittee. will not take this chairman
ship, according to his friends at the
Capitol today This means Senator
sherman probably will be chairman.
Senator Kenyon will become chair
man OF the Philippines Committee,
II he desires IL. While Senator Nc
, Lean OF Connecticut is ranking mem
Der he will be the chairman of the
Banking and Currency Committee.
KenyOn's Reason.
The Iowa Senator has been urged
BY q number of District residents and
persons interested in the building up
Of the District to take the chairman
ship OF the District Committee. He
has replied that he would like TO do ii
in some respects, but that he fears
u would compel him TO give most of
his time to Washington matters in
stead Of general questions before Con-
gress
Senator Sherman's selection is not
to the liking of many real estate and
other business men in Washington,
because OF the criticisms he has
leveled at profiteering in the Cap
itRl Ia his remarks in the Senate.
However, the Committee on Commit
tees in making its selections win be
guided chiefly by the wishes OF Sem
ators themselves. II a Senator is en-
titled 20 a Craftsmanship on the score
OF seniority, he will be quite likely
70 set it if he wants it.
Should Senator Sherman for any
reason not be selected for the chair
manship, Senator Calder Of New York
would be next in line on the commit
tee. and after that Senator New OF
Indiana Both have seen considerable
service on the District Committee.
Offiess Are Indneenent.
curiously enough. one OF the fac
tors in the Craftsmanship OF the Sen
ate District Committee is the magni-
ficent suite OF offices OF the District
cOmmittee at the Senate end of the
CAPITOL. The offices are commodious,
beautiful and within a few yards OF
the Senate Chamber.
One Of the obstacles in the way OF
getting Senators TO take the chair
mahship of the Senate District Com
mittee Is found in the fact that IL
calla Tor much attention to local af-
fairs II has been suggested that
there is 30 much business before the
committee, IL its affairs are given
proper attention, that q secretary for
it should be provided. additional to
the secretary Of the Senator holding
the chairmanship.

FOR THE LEAGUE.

The fight on the ratification of the peace treaty and the league is not as much of partisan affair as one would sippose. It is true that most of the opposition to the league in the senate is on a partisan basis, Lodge, Sherman, Johnson and others of their ilk are against the league because it is great achievement of a democratic president.
 They have charged that the only people who are for the league are a few scattered idealists and Southern democrats, who, they say, are for it because it is a democratic matter"
 A list of the men of prominence in the United States who are supporters of the league shows the falsity of these statements.
 Here are some of the men who are league supporters:
 Massachusetts: A Lawrence Low. ell, president of Harvard; Roger w. Babson, K. L. Butterfield, w. L. Douglass, shoe manufacturer and former governor; Harry A. Garfield, Ellery Sedgwick, president of the Atlantic Monthly; Joseph Walker, capitalist.
 New York: Lyman Abbott, edi- tor; John Burroughs, the naturalist; l. T. Bush, president of the Bush Terminal Co.,; Henry J. Davison, Morgan and company; Frank Crane, writer; George E. Roberts, banker; Jacob Schiff, Albert Shaw, Oscar Strauss, Augustus Thomas, Frederick Underwood, president of the Erie, Talcott Williams, George Wickersham and Rabbi Stephen Wise.
 Connecticutt: William Howard Taft, Irving Bacheller, Isaac N. Ull- man, business leader; Irving Fisher, political economist.

FOR WHAT THEY ARE.

Mayor Hoan, socialist burgomeis-'' ter of Milwaukee, is trying to emu late Bill Thompson of Chicago. s:'S
 On the eve of the visit to the Uni- ted States of King Albert and Queen Elizabeth of Belgium, Hoan says:
 q stand for the man who works. To hell with the kings"
 Those who know Hoan, who know of the man and of his record, will not be surprised at this, nor will they take it seriously. The Milwaukee mayor is a result of a peculiar growth in American politics; he is a politi- cal sore, that is bothersome but not necessarily serious.
 But it is aggravating to hear such statements made. The American people, regardless ot what is their political faith, have no great respect for kings as class. But the aver-- age man is broad enough also to ad- mire and respect king when he is also man, and queen when she happens to represent all that is fine in womanhood.
 The welcome that the king and queen of the Belgians will receive in the United States will be accorded to them not as sovereigns of royal blood. It will be welcome to the man and to the woman.
 If Mayor Hoan is, as he says, for the man who works, he certainly can't find any objection to being "for' King Albert and Queen Elizabeth. Perhaps no man worked harder dur ing the past five years than Albert; few if any women, worked harder than Queen Elizabeth, not in order to perpetuate their own dynasty but to lessen the burden of the Belgians who in their dark hour looked to AL bert and Elizabeth for leadership.

yer; Jacob M. Dickinson, Ira Landrith Cyrus Mccormick; Harry A. Wheel CT.
 Ohio: James M. Cox, W. c. Lee, president Brotherhood of Trainmen; Warren Stone, w. o. Thompson, president of Ohio State University. These are but few of long list of well known men and women who want to see the treaty and the league ratified without material change. There are many others, men and women of enormous influ- ence among their own following in the United States and in their own localities.
 The list shows that all over the United States there is class of peo pie, regardless of creed, regardless of sectionalism or political faith, from all walks of life, from all occupants. businesses, trades and profession who want to see the league fact with the United States as partici- pant in it.
 Is not this convincing argument of the necessity for the league? Is 1t not proof that the league is recogniz- ed as necessity by those Americans who have the welfare of the United States and of the world at heart?

DENY STEAMER SUNK.


 Mobile, Ala, Sept. 23.-Reports from New Orleans that the steamer Coriscana had been sunk in the re- cent hurricane in the gulf were de- nied today by the local office of the Munson steamship conipany, owners of the vessel. The Corsicana, local officials said, landed at Neuitas, on the North coast of Cuba, September IA, four days overdue. after having successfully weathered the hurri cane. She sailed from Mobile, Sep tember 5. Although nothing has been heard from the Munisla, an other Munson liner, which now is 13 days overdue in Havana, the off cials of the owning company have not given her up for lost.

IMPOSING PRIVILEGE
 TAXES.

It appears that the necessity is i'm perative for the enactment of an ordinance imposing privilege taxes in Pine Bluff. The municipality owes about $230,000 and with the annual income of $74,000 being $15,000 be- low expenditures last year, it is clear that some action toward increasing the city's. revenue must be, taken.
 Committees representing different organizations in Pine Bluff are work ing with the mayor and city council with view of finding some way out of the situation. Taxes on privileges seems to be the only solution.
 It is to be hoped that in drafting ard enacting an ordinance imposing taxes on privileges, the framers and the council will endeavor to raise no more revenue than is absolutely necessary to meet the actual needs of the city and provide for retiring out standing obligations. The peoples burden is heavy enough already.
 There should also be effort to dis tribute pthe cost of government as equitable as possible, taking into consideration the benefit derived by the members of the different occupa- tions and professions from location in Pine Bluff and the amount they al- ready pay towards the expense of state, county and municipal govern ment. A merchant or manufacturer whose business in Pine Bluff may be netting him an income of $5,OOO per annum, and who is paying, say $50 or $10O in taxes on his stock, should not be taxed by the municipality for his privilege as greatly as the pro. fessional man or member of another occupation with equal net income who is paying only few dollars in taxes on his equipment.
 The privilege tax should be used to equalize, as far as possible, the amount each individual or firm pays toward the cost of government ac- cording to the net income.
