Although it isn't always so,
It's only fair to say,
That when prisoner scales a wall,
He ought to get weigh.

If there is anything stronger

bad as the robbery that has
brought about the annexation

Greater New York should be
thoroughly ashamed of herself in
arresting scores of women in
single night because they were
upon the public streets and not
accompanied by men. The New
York Herald says: Mingled with
a score Of hardened, laughing,
confessed night walkers were
several young women who hyster-
ically protested their innocence and
tainted when placed in cells
This is stating the case mildly. In
every city there are thousands of
women that find it necessary to be
on the public streets, and without
a male escort. They have as much
right as men to be there. The.
authorities who arrest them as
they pass from their business occu-
patton to their homes are guilty Of
a contemplate and mean act, for
which there is no excuse.-Chicago
