POTS AND PRICES SOUTHERN INDIANA RED MEN I An army of women is said to be marching on Washington, in a figura tive war. demanding such a revision of the tariff as will reduce the pnees in wearing appearel. Kid gloves ap pear to be the item in the schedule wound which they art making a strong rally, but their remonstrance extends to nearly everything in the list which, directly or remotely, enters into the feminine toilet. Their prot est is labeled as one against high cost of living. The cost of living, how ever, has been increased vastly out J proportion with the cost of dressing. The cost of living, as represented in the higher prices charged for nearly all food supplies, is the more serious problem of the two. This has been increased, to a considerable extent, through combinations in trade lines, wholly outside and independent of tny tariff, high or low. It has also h-in artificially increased, to a still greater extent, through the. patron ag?, by dressy women, of the ready cook ed foods and canned goods of the trade combinations so formed. The cost of living in this country is, and has long been, too high. It has been unnaturally high. It has been forced up by combinations, puis and simple, which, ignoring all of the improved and (cheaper methods of production, have, by the use of large capital for the control of the supply, exacted every penny the market can be made to afford. The cost of dres sing, on the other hand, is less now than at any previous time in our his. tory. The American people are better dressed now than ever before. No former generation was ever arrayed like unto this. Articles of wearing, happiness, a reduction in the wages of labor, in the hours of labor, in trie exchange of commodities, and in all of the activities of our industrial lite, will surely force lower prices, because the consumer, that lay figure of free traders, must perforce consume less.j It may even force the tin can brigades of women back to the drudgery of cooking. At thought of that horror we drop the veil. Globe-Democrat. "THIS IS MY 42nd BIRTHDAY" Charles Hitchock Sherill, the new United States miirUtcr to the Argen tine Republic, was born in Washing ton. D. C, April 13, 1367. Afte- graduating from the ale Law School in he began the practice of law in N'ew York city, where he oon established a reputation as an able corporation lawyer. He became active in Republican polities, and in the two McKinley campaigns he or ganised the Lawyers" Sound Money Club, and was one of the committee! of five that conducted the monster business parades of those two camp aigns. Mr. Sherill was a noted ath lete in his college days and after his graduation he continued his interest in athletic sports. . He was the orig inator of the idea of international in ter-university track athletic meeting having arranged the Yale-Oxford match in London in 1894, and the Yale-Cambridge match in Xew York the following year.

The business sec tion was decorated in honor of the occasion. The initial session va held in the opera house this afternoon. The spectacular feature of the gather ing including a parade and a display fJireworks, took place tonight. As far as can be judged from its ac tion so far, the Republican House in tends to handle tariff revision in a prompt, businesslike manner. The Phillippines will shortly have a new governor general, the fifth in less than ten years. But the position has been better than the average for promotion.

Good dres sing has become so universal that it has become impossible to distinguish the poor from the rich or the well-to-do. The rage against the automo bile was largely because it offered the people with the price an opportunity to show that they had it, after dia monds or what look like diamonds, had been so cheapened that they were put within the reach of everybody, on the installment plan. The automobile left no room for doubt. It is el quent of the filthy lucre. The .smell of its gasoline is the smell of burning money. Its honk is the voice of an arrogant plutocracy. Hence the weep ing, wailing and gnashing of teeth after an era in which nobody could tell who was who or what was what. Hence, too, the discontent and the demand for tariff revision. The per turbed in spirit, looking around them for something to bring back the level ing days fell upon the tariff, their best friend, as their greatest foe.
