"CLEANLINESS
is next to
GOODNESS"

Were your eyes ever shocked
was your nose ever offended
by anything you ever saw or
smelled In our store7
We think not.
Our constant aim Is to give
to our establishment an ap.
pearance and atmosphere In
dicative of our goods-pure,
fresh and wholesome. Scrupu-
lous cleanliness Is, with us, a
necessity, and Our clerks and
statesmen are so instructed.
We think that this care on
our part convinces customers
of our desire to please, but 1t
is not done for show-it Is a
veritable part of our business
system.
Everything ssyou may pur.
chase from us can be relied on
for Its perfect purity and whole
someness.

the times in which we live. Again the
desirable or mOneyed class from foreign
lands do not come. they send their gold
here to form trusts and combines but
they remain at home. 1t is the pauper,
the criminal and the outcast that comes.
A report to be laid before the coming
congress on this subject says that
seventy-five per cent. of the habitues of
the slums of America are of foreign
birth. Do we want those that tend to
reduce the wages of the American
workingman, who bring disease, and
labor in the sweat shops of their own
countrymen. The recent investigation
into slums, sweat-shOps and contract
systems should convince the most
skeptical that immigration should
be restricted to all who cannot stand an
examination by our foreign ministers

to degrade, and love all that tends to
uplift. BRIGHAM.

The Plea of Crime.

| saw in THE MIRROR of the 2Oth
ult.. an article under the title of Crime
versus Cure" in which the writer does
not appear to be quite clear on the sub
ject of liquor traffic. He says: 1.-The
liquor and sporting.houses are respon-
sible for the majority of criminal acts
committed" have travelled this world
over: have been in every country on
the face of the known world, and where
ever l have been, | have heard the
drunkard's cry, Il was drunk or [
should never have committed that
crime. ! was SO thoroughly drunk, I
did not know what was doing" Such
is the drunkard's plea. He is not manly
enough to say: got drunk on purpose
to commit that crime, for | had not the
nerve to do it when sober. The article
says: "Uriah Heep factories, as the pris
Ons of to-day are becoming. The tone
of this expression would indicate to the
reader that the writer is being fed too
much after hotel or uptown boarding
fix that for our friend, so that he'll have
no cause to complain of getting too rich
food
AS for houses of ill-fame, his remarks
are subject to exception by any reason
able judge. Men are the natural and
rightful supporters of women, and they
signally fail to do their duty in this re-
spect. Instead of organizing societies
for the aid and protection of poverty
stricken and helpless womankind, men
waste their time and means in grOg-
shops, and in efforts to demoralize those
whom they should strive to elevate;
rich and poor, educated and ignorant,
are alike in this. The natural office of
protection is prostituted to degradation.
Man willfully coaxes or drives the poor
girl to ruin and disgrace, deserts her
and condemns her to a life of shame
and turns to rend her as the destroying
element of his purity, when he himself
should be ground to powder as the in
strument of her ruin. PROFESSOR.

things left. He must get the nspirants
