Society Women Dodge Arrest DIXIE,SAYS CHICAGO, Dec. 27.—“Before the next semester in February I believe I shall have brought about a radical change in the system of study in the Chicago schools.

Vow, I wouldn’t be giving this to t might," Colonel Lowry went one, "if I didn’t admit that, in my opinion, the country has just come through a crisis. I am sure it was i »t generally realized how grave the situation was. But I believe it is well over, now—a thing of the past, und an added tribute to the ability of the American people to cope with any situation that may arise. "Being a protectionist, I can’t help but hold to the opinion that the new tariff was put over at an inopportune time for our Southern manufactur ers. The New England factories had enjoyed the benefits of protection for decades. In former years, the South did not require any particular pro- tection from the product of the cheap labor of Europe. Now' there is a Southern manufacturer at every crossroads—and the protection is re in >ved from all alike.

If the lew tariff proves a handicap, why, means will be found to correct the trouble. 1 have every confidence in the power and wisdom of the people : the South. They are essentially 1 apable of looking after their own af fairs. But I certainly can not conscien tiously minimize the recent period •f unrest and uneasiness the country has just been through. Two great measures were pending. Business did lM) t know how to regard either. I’ll tc!! you—it ,was like the administra- t" n of a dose of medicine in a case ‘ * -hness.
