As a legislator considering tho Wood "Vrard bills, asserts Mr. Winston, the senator cannot divorco himself from his Identity as a contractor making a profit of a million dollars a year from city contracts. i After a protracted charter ncaring firil!nr Jn nitv Hall Mr. Winston gave out a statement asserting that (, "every attempt is being maae 10 dews fc. and confuse the issue in regard to the .."revision o the Philadelphia cnarier. -f The crux ofhe entire opposition to the charter bins, he said, is the hos- tility to a single-chamber council as .provided in the measures. Members of tho reorganized council, I Mr. Winston said, would be elected by 7, senatorial districts, one for each 20,000 of population, inbtcad of being elected fby wards.

"Let our opponents face this issue squarely Instead of talk s'' ing about a lot of side issues that they reallycare little about. ? "The whole trouble with Mr. Vare is that he is attempting1 the Impossible, . task of occupying two positions at the f , same time. As chairman of tho' com mittee on municipal affairs of the Lcgis- ' lature he is bound by his oath of office and by every consideration of honor , and public duty to entirely disregard the private interest of Edwin H. Vare, ' the contractor; but unfortunately at a '' formal hearing he appears to have in mind' Edwin H. Vare, the contractor, and ho considers every provision of the proposed new charter with reference to its effect upon the fortunes of Edwin H. Vare. "It is to much to expect from anv huriH9Bfc&inK w''o is making a profit ot $l,O0U,wjSB6Bgr from city contracts that he shalrs&sEa3!9 fairly to consider legislation affecting Philadelphia, and yet that should be his sole thought while occupying the position as chairman of the committee of municipal affairs un der the Legislature -of this common. wealth."

Ke- &. tij S MimniHiiiiiis f nmiiiMiMil MANY men are misinformed as to yhat really constitutes "style.". 1 The 'idea as exploited in machine-made clothes, is that style is expressed by "a hard, uncompromising -immobility of outline in which there is more buckram than beauty. The style of Jacob Reed's Sons clothing i essentially different. In tho first place It is designed by artists, not by artisans. t In the second place it is laigely tailored byhan'd, not ' coerced by machinery. , ' Reed's clothes hang easy, look (easy, feel easjr and without ' ease you cannot have style. ifeoB Reed'5 Sons The Shnrples Separator Company and Dairy Specialty Works, the largest 'plant of its kind in the world, will move from West Chester because of the alleged antagonistic attitude of the bor ough council nnd the residents of West Chester. Ihi cost of removal means an outlay of more than $500,000, but C. M. Burdette, vice president of the concern, has announced that rather than put money in additional buildings needed at West Chester, the company has deA cided to shoulder the added expense building a new plant and moving to it to escape the attitude of criticism di rected against it in West Chester. May Select Chester The site of the new plant has not been announced, but Philip M. Shar pies, millionaire president of the com pany, recently purchnscd some river front property near Chester, and it is tnougu probable that this may bo-selected. , The plant employs about 1000 per sons when in full operation and is the biggest yOncern in the town. The re moval means the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars nnnually to the town, ns the weekly payroll to the res idents of West Chester alone is esti mated at $in,ooo. The feud between 3Ir. Sharpies and the Borough Council began when the latter refused to abandon parts of two streets on the outskirts of West Ches ter so ho could erect n new home and estate. Ho later built the place at West Goshen, "nbout two miles from town, and it is one of the show places, of the section.
