One theatre giving another good free

has lithograph man To attend TO that

they cover the city with what are known
as zone sheet boards" placing them loose
in conspicuous places, and on Sunday
night they are all gathered up. The
lithograph man in this case had large
pile packed up against the wall of the
theatre, and yesterday morning one OF the
attaches placed them inside, thinking he
had taken the whole pile. He had, how
ever, left one and it happened TO be one

great army OF Democracy. That Is the
cardinal principle Of our faith. But
my friend, eX-Speaker Reed, spoke
here in Massachusetts the other day,
and he says, in favor Of taxing all raw
material, that you cannot claim pro-
lection upon manufactured goods
without you accord the same thing 10

lection is concerned, agree with him,

Amsterdam, N. Y, the other day he de-
Tended his course in brave and outspoken
words worth reading:
1.-The loyalty upon which this grand
organization is based" said he, lis not
"A mere sentiment. 1t is loyalty that
inspired the Union soldier with faith in
the right. Ii is that loyalty which is
taught TO the child on the mothers lap
and prompts our boys to raise aloft the
Stars and Stripes and say: My father
was a Union soldier and fought to de-
fend the flag from dishonor.'
1T is that loyalty that speaks out in
clarion tones to few unrepentant rebels
and says to them: Johnny, if you find
any pleasure in displaying that old worm
ont rag of blear-eyed secession, it is an
evidence that you fail to appreciate the
generous terms of the surrender of APP
pomattox, and our great satisfaction is
that You inspire every loyal American
citizen with greater admiration for the
national flag"
The stars and stripes can never be
honored too zealously and jealousy.

ELECTION DAY.

Over considerable proportion OF
the Union an election is in progress to-
day of greater or less Importance. In a
portion of the states governors are to be
elected. In others men are to be chosen
who will assist in or control the cleo
tion of United States senators. In
nearly all there are important state Off
GERS 10 be chosen and local and munich
pal Issues are tangled up with affairs of
greater Importance so that local. state
ana national issues come to the front in
not quite equal relative importance in
any two localities. In some cases, as i'm
Ohio, national issues clearly predom-
mate. In New York the local question
OF Tammany transcends all state issues
merely because it has become astate issue
and because neither Senator nor Con-
gresham is TO be elected. In Massa-
chusetts the Democrats have tried to
pin the fighting down to the administra-
tion of Gov. Russell, but have succeeded
i'll in that.
However tangled may be the skeins of
affairs, there will be useful lessons TO be
derived from the struggle now in pro-
g'ess. Read the News tomorrow. We
snail bring good tidings to Republicans.

THE "SOCIAL EVIL"

1t is reported that Emperor William of
Germany has now undertaken to reform
his capital with respect to the social
evil and to that end has melted the or
dinary agencies of the law, to which he
seems TO hold himself superior, to take
steps of unprecedented severity against
the thousands of poor women who
make Berlin morally pestilential.
In this, if correctly reported, Kaiser
Wilhelm is but following the fatuous
example of so many who have attacked
great wrongs from the edges and not
from the centre, at the branches and
not the root. The social evil is not to be
reformed by whipping, branding or i'm
prisoning the poor wretches who are its
victims, but by reforming those who are its
first transgressors. For while it is quite
true that abandoned women are dan
ger to youth of the other sex, and that a
certain small percentage of them were
practically born to abandonment, still
the vast majority of erring women en-
tered the paths of sin because Of the
damnable arts of some male DESTROYER,
and continued therein because every
avenue of decent employment was there.
after closed against them.
If Kaiser Wilhelm really wishes to
purge his capital, let him leave the
women absolutely alone. Let him first
see that the age of consent is raised to 10
years, or 16 at the very least, and that
seduction of minor be made at least as
important an offense as chicken steal
ing. If u low resort is raided let the
women be, and put the men in Jail, pub
fishing their names in fun in the public
prints. This is the exact opposite Of the
present procedure, but it would be effec-
tive as regards nine-tenths of the offend
ers of the sterner sex-which the present
and the proposed plan are not. Then
the women would begin to starve. Then,
or better before, some honest work
would have to be found for them, and
then the social evil would be on the road
toward solution.
And by the way, similar reversal of
antiquated, absurd, unjust, illogical and
ineffective procedure nearer home would
be quite as effective. The NEWS knows
a town where drunkenness is very rare
among highblooded youth because il
means working on the highway with
ball and chain-disgrace, in short. Treat
the stronger and more guilty sex thus for
the social evil and it would diminish
amazingly.
