HERE are ninety-six members of the States Senate, two from each of the forty- eight States. Representation is equal between them, whether the population is chiefly jackrab- bits or real people. New York, the greatest of them all, is now rep- fesented after a fashion by two Republicans, James W. Wadsworth and William M. Calder. ‘The latter is up for re-election. There is'a chance of replacing him with bette: material in the person of Royal S. Copeland, the Democratic candidate. Dr. Copeland measures up to-the job, but he needs a fot of votes to get in. They will be easily forthcoming if every citizen who feels the pinch of the Smoot tariff, which Mr. Calder helped to make a2 law, will put his cross against Dr. Copeland’s name on the ballot early next Tuesday, United “The great powers havo not been able to agree as to questions which, being distinctly Buropean questions, directly concern them. Secretary Hughes. How different from the United States, where quettions that are distinctly domestic questions are settled in seraphic harmony and sweetness! LOCAL OPTION EVOLUTION. T is entirely possible that William Jennings Bryan and his “Fundamentalist” followers may win some States tovofficial opposition to the teaching of evolutionary science. .A majority of taxpayers may, if they will, refuse to support edu- cational institutions in which an objectionable doctrine is discussed. Ten years ago we would have felt safe in as- suming that, even if State schools were forbidden to teach evolution, private schools would not fall under such a prohibition. But “reform” has reg- istered some strange victories of late. It is best not to be too certain. And if the Anti-Evolutionists fail to win whule States, what is to prevent them from centring activities on counties, townships, or even school districts, in their efforts to set up local option fences against the simian skeletons hanging in the human family tree? It is not inconceivable that in place of the “wet” and “dry” maps of the pre-Prohibition area, we may yet see “monkey” and “mud” maps, with “Fundamentalist” territory in glaring white and the “monkey” preserves shaded with the bar sin- ister. THE FINE DISTINCTION. A would-be Hylan bus operator testifies that when he failed to come across with $25,000 for somebody knewn as the “Big Chief,” bo was told: “You will be sorry if you don't put that money up. They will cripple you within twenty- four hours. Just as quick as they got you in, they will get you out.” “They” did get him out. Wastrating again what the Mayor has dwelt on—the all-important distinction between a franchise aud a Hylan “permit.” LET WOMEN STAND FIRM. HE City Federation of Women’s Clubs came out fair and square against the long skirt and the dangling appendages last week. They solemnly warned designers, manufacturers and re- tailers they. would have none of the trailing drap- eries. Now let us see the women make good on the warning. They can if they will—but they must will strongly and unitedly. It is no secret that the “trade” is not yet seri- ously concerned with the Women’s Club resolu- tions. Women never yet have stood out against style dictation. The style makers will have to be shown before they will believe. The leaders of the Federation will need to carry on the fight. Spread the movement to the young ‘women’s organizations, to the leagues, clubs, and sororities. Interest the “flappers” and gain their co-operation—and make the long skirt anywhere * a subject for the subtly raised eyebrows that point + out the stylelessness of gowns. The challenge adopted iast Friday was one of the ‘boldest ever thrown in the face of the dress- makers. If women can make good the boycott of the gown longer than seven inches from the ground, they can expect respectful attention 12 future. If they fail the dressmakers will feel more se- cure than ever. More power to the women in their exercise of common sense! FALSE EVEN TO HIMSELF, ECRETARY HUGHES delivered a speéch in Boston last night lauding Henry Cabot Lodge, “the most experienced man in the Senate in foreign affairs,” for his aid to the Harding Ad- ministration in “untangling the skein (of foreign relations) which it received.” In the name of truth and- justice,.who tangled the skein? The Henry Cabot Lodge to whom ‘Secretary Hughes referred is the same Henry Cabot Lodge who in June, 1918, said “We cannot make peace except In company with our allfes. It would brand us with ever lasting dishonor and bring ruin to us also if we undertook to make a separate peace.” It is the same Henry Cabot Lodge who turned traitor to his own words in order to discredit Woodrow Wilson and provide the Republican Party with a campaign issue. This is the Henry Cabot Lodge whom Secre- tary Hughes now praises for his “aid and sup- port” in concluding with Germany, Austria and Hungary the separate treaties of peace which three years earlier he (Lodge) declared “\yould brand us with everlasting dishonor.” Who more than Henry Cabot Lodge was re- sponsible for whatever tangle the Harding Admin- istration found in the Nation's foreign relations? Another distinguished son of Massachusetts, President Emeritus of Senator Lodge’s own alma mater, has recently written: “America should cease to keep out of the Paris Covenant, ‘the greatest step in recorded history in the betterment of international rela tions,’ as ex-President Taft sald of it in March, 1919, and give over completely every+fear of being called upon to fight, no matter where, in support of decisions of the League. “That fear is now and always has been abso- lutely unworthy of the American people, fa to its history and even falser to its hopes.” Not falser than Henry Cabot Lodge has been to his country’s history and hopes—and to him- self, revolution” in Italy has re- volved itself and its leader into power with amazingly small breakage. Maybe because it pivots on something more popular than politic SALVATORE A. COTILLO, A STATE Senator who should be re-elected is Senator Salvatore A. Cotillo, Democratic candidate in the 18th Senatorial District.

The work he did toward securing the pa of the banking bills which checked the shameful exploitation of immigrant depositors is well te- membered He is Vice Chairman of the Commission to Codify Child Welfare Laws.

The tax om lemons was 1 1-2 cents under the last high Republican tariff—the Paynes, Aldrich tariff. It is now 2 cents = pound. Lemons in a New York City grocery store that sold six for 10 centa are now selling three for 10 cents, Lemonade will be expensive next summer. These are only @ few of the ones in the cost of food. everyday necessities will be mor: ox- pensive. i Most of the large stores stocked » @:| with imported goods in anticipation of the new high tariff, so the rise in prices will not generally become ef- fective until after election. Then many women will be surprised to learn that the tariff has caused the high cost of food, clothing and furniture. Brides-to-be who are thinking of buying wicker furniture until they can afford something more substan-' tial will be disappointed. The taz on wicker furniture has risen from. 15 per cent: to 60 per cent., or four times as much. The Payne-Aldrich tariff duty was 86 per cent. A store which deals principally in wicker ware states that Canton wicker chairs now cost~ ing $18 to the consumer will soom ba $26. This type of “chair has been popular here. Its duplicate is mot mdde in this country. A woman's wear store advertised English ulsters at $48 last week, eay~ ing {t was the last chance to buy them at that prico. The next tm-@ portation of ‘these coats will cost the consumer $65 apiece. Coats similar to these aro not manufactured here. The tariff 1s an intricate document of 147 pages which fixes the duties on. imported articles. It is tmporstble In reading it to know just what the price to the consumer will be, as many duties are a certain per cent, of the value of an article. Some things, Hike woolen clothing, are taxed both on! the value per pound and on the value for the entire product. ‘The cost of many articles made here will go up, as material used in their manufacture comes from abroad. Billa and silk stockings will cost more, as silk Is taxed at $1.50 a pound. Her- man A. Metz of the H. A. Mets Com- pany states that “the effect of the new tariff has already been felt in a 100 per cent. Increase in the selling price of certain dyes.’’ A woman will pay for this increase in every yard of col- @red goods that she buys. ‘The tariff has brought a govern- mental question into every home. Ths Ship Subsidy bill, bills about strikes, railroad bills and bills about Westerm parks enter into the everyday life of few households. But the tariff will be brought home vividly to every, woman, The tariff ts particularly @ woman's problem because it concerns the amount that she gbtains for her money.
