ed, and, from the miners standpoint,
the strike is complete failure, the
men returning to work at the same rate
as before the strike. There is great
activity here among the operators in

Smart Set Condemned.

The Chicago American of Sept. 5th,
publishes an editorial by Henry Wat
te1son Of the Louisville Courier Jour-
nal; a fierce denunciation OF the eek
elusive society folk or the "four hund-
red" The attack was prompted by
controversial editorial which appear
ed in San Francisco paper in ans
wer to Mr.. Watterson's first arraign-
ment of the "smart SET" He says
fatty that the smart set is wholly cor
rupt, that it is without one redeeming
feature, that its women are without
virtue, its young people without
shame, its men without honesty, its
wealth ill-gotten and unclean, and its
whole fabric rotten and decaying to
the core"
Commenting farther he says that
wealth sets the pace for the so-callcd
''smsrt set" which term was adopted
by them to save themselves from a
more odlous description. Its women
are equally depraved with its men.
They know all the dirt the men know.
They talk freely with the men Of
things forbidden the decent and the
virtuous; that passing freely vis-a-yis,
or at table, which was once excluded
as upclean by gentlemen from the
smoking room. They read the worst
French fiction. They see the worst
French PLAYS. The very question Of
sex becomes interchangeable, and
sometimes it is the sissy earl, and al
ways the horsey girl who kicks out Of
the traces and drags the set through
the mire.'
He also says that If any member Of
the set has social or political aims or
ambitions he sets about to buy them,
and is ready to pay good round prizes
l for them. Their lives will not bear
scrutiny, their influence to the very
last degree is corrupt, they are liv-
ng reproach to riches, not knowing
how to use them for the universal
good.
