Ex 0 Senator, jovial and says he never felt better, in a recent interview with a ~ New York reporter on timely topics, '5 defended the luxuriuos styles of the 1- present day woman. He said: f "Girl's clothes today are very styl[; ish and very extravagant, but they - have always dressed up to their means. j Women wear fine clothes because the h men like to see them. The men are n partly to blame for this extravagance The resposibility, if responsibility you ~ can call it, is about equally divided c I between the man and the woman. You ** I o : know that none of us care to see a wort j man in homespun. If a man can afford _ | it he always likes to see his wife in a ; new bonnet. If they do wear silks and - other costly things, that helps indus11 try and is a good thing. i "Woman Suffrage is working out e | all right. Nine-tenths of the married ? ; women will vote as their husbands tell ^ them. The other tenth will tell their husbands how to vote. But the single ~ women will vote as they please. 1j "Prohibition is making the country 11 dry, but the enforcement law is not - j doing it. It is the inability of everys | one to get a drink easily. The fellow with a strong desire will find it. but - the average man will not go far t<5 - look for it. " "We need more building. One of . the drawbacks is that those who have s been investing in real estate and know its uncertainties, fear if they build . now at present high prices, their propi, erty will not be able to compete with that built later when construction is " cheaper. e "The intrinsic value of a dollar will - rise but not rapidly. After the Civil War there was a great deal of specula lation. The cost of living was high, bo cause the purchasing power of the dollar was low. History is repeating rv .. " itself. e "Wages will go down eventually, t When the cost of living and materials gets down, wages will be so out of _ proportion they will have to come n down too. But not down to the level t they were before. Labor is going to " get a larger share of the profits of ^ concerns. "Industry here will fall off to some extent when things start up on the . other side. The workers there receive If t so much less Svages and work so many o more hours, our industries will not be _ able to hold all our foreign trade. : Our home trade will require a higher i, tariff to protect it. * "Socialism will not make any more t progress in this country. In Russia it d has turned out to be despotism. It y has reached its limit here. _ "The base-ball gambling scandal came as a great shock. It's a piiy to b find our great national sport has been tinctured with corruption. The game t has done much to relieve tension? tension of the high cost of living,of prohibition and of other problems the j people have had to meet since the war! > I read they are talking of passing e laws to protect base-ball. I think it k should be regulated." o Hold Your Cotton. i, Hold your cotton for better prices ' by placing it in Wilkins' bonded ' ?urhcra it. will be Drotectt <!
