Mme. d'Alhart has been successful hi Identifying many prominent men with the movement, and she has also enlisted the sympathy of college' pro feasors, academicians, students of the Latin quarter, society people and rep resentatives of the masses of the peo. pie. The five commandments of the league are: Contribute your own share of po titeness. Become an apostle of pollteneBs by being courteous In 'word and manner wherever you are.

The wool,, cotton, chemical and metal schedules are likely to be the first taken up at the special sess ion of congress which President-elect Wilson promises to call not later than April 15th. That the revision will follow the general lines laid down in the Underwood measures, which were vetoed by President Taft, seems likely. The fact that Bryan, who la spoken of for the new president's cabinet, wns of the opinion that ther Underwood bills did not go far enough in the downward direction promises some fireworks. In the end, however. It is expected that the new president, in accordance with his campaign speech en. will be on the side of moderate re vision.

The nat'on b a whole will welcome It. Even the standpatters who oppose any move to alter the schedules must be convinc ed that Inasmuch as revision ha been decided on the quickest possible ad Ion Is best.
