THE SOCIAL SEWERAGE.

The German emperor has notified the Princess
Hostmar and other noble ladies that they do not
know enough about the social evil to fight it, see
ing il is a thing even the police are often puzzled
with in certain The emperor ought to know
that little knowledge is a source of great ZEAL
while much knowledge often promotes indifference.
q 1t is the reformers that only one side of an
evil who most ardent. The instant one begins
to see that question has two sides and to recog-
nize that good and evil mixed in varying de-
grees in all things mundane, he begins to doubt and
move cautiously.
1t might seem at first thought that if there ia any
evil which is wholly evil and without any redeem
ing feature whatever, it must be the social evil
But the fact remains that the police, when
scientious, and all others who have made thor
ough study of it, not from the theoretical, but
from the practical standpoint, agree that it is deeply
founded and that human nature could no more be
purified by its abolition than could city be made
sanitary by the removal of its sewers.
These estimabe German ladies, prompted by the
purest motives, see nothing but evil in the social
sewerage of their cities. They see the pitiable
plight of the poor degraded women whose honor and
happiness and lives are being sacrificed to unbrdled
passions But that is all they see. They see not
that so long as passions unbrdled there must be
vctlms-that so long as there is social sewage there
must be social sewerage system for the protection
of wOmanhood.
They see not that it is immutabe law of nature
that some must be sacrificed for the good of ALL and
that it is better to have voluntary victims in groups,
though they form cesspoos iniquity than nvolun-
taro ones dispersed throughout all grades of society
Good women will never cease to fight this evil. 1t
is impossible that they should ever be reconcied to
it's existence Results, however, will never prove
commensurate with their zeal The ulcer can never be
successfully removed while the malignaney remains
in the blood. The fight, to be effective, must be
waged, not against the poor, degraded girls, but
against the degraded passions in man.

product of skilled labor of artists in their various

SHE SHOCKED THE OLD GIRLS.

81 should advise young woman to hang on to
her privileges and let her rights go"
Is it any wonder that when Miss Josephine Dodge
Daskam said this at dinner of 'Pigrim Mothers, -
given under the auspices of the New York legislative
league the specialized glare of her audience was
glacial and the applause frappe?
Surely this carrying defiance to the extreme.
But Miss Daskam did not stop there. She was hav-
ing her inning and was making the most of it.
If you cannot in this generation get your vote, -
she continued, ''you can always get your voter"
That night have been modifying. But it wasn't.
For the unpleasant fact is that it is the woman who
cannot get the voter that is generally the most
strenuous in seeking the vote.
Somehow the vote and the voter do not mix. The
who has the voter does not care for the vote
and if she has the vote she desplses the ordinary
voter.
Of course there are exceptions. But there was
not enough enthusiasm the reception given to
Miss Daskam to indicate any exceptions in that
particular assemblage of voteress voters. But
Miss Daskam didn't care. She hates the trite and
is impatient of the conventional and here was her
opportunity to sass it to its face 1t was an &C.
casion for spinster professionalism and common
place. and she playfuly spoiled it by turning loose
a lot Of little moral mice. She came, she saw and

An eastern man who has evidently never been on

money has been visiting the fashionable stores
where wealth assemblies, witnessed both buying and

thrifts, and that home life in New York is on such
a scale of magnifcence that ruin must come some

A fur coat was sold for $1,000. man paid $500
for basket Of roses. A set of undergarments for
woman were eagerly purchashed for 81 800, and a
baby's bib was marked $50.
Those are scattered samples. The complete list
of costly things to eat, and admire is almost
endless. 1t is possible to stand in more than one
American store and spend 81, 100000 for things
that are on the shelves and in cases awaiting pur-

Chicago is becoming alarmed over
the local Industrial outlook. and with
good reason. For some weeks reports
have crept out that the city is about to
lose many of its manufacturing indus
tries because of the ever increasing
conflict between the capital and labor,
and this unhappy state of affairs seems
to be on the increase. Many of the
leading fnanciers decline to invest
their money in improvements for fear
of having the business tied up for
months by the senseless strikes of the
laboring people. And rather than
have their business thus paralyzed
many of the owners of the big plants
are preparing to leave the city and
seek quarters elsewhere. Chicago is

OF INTEREST TO MERCHANTS.

A correspondent at Irvington, Ill. !,
writing to one of our exchanges, gives
some very pointed facts about mail Or
der houses and how to lessen their
trade, and how some merchants hold
their customers.
This is what he says:
III our home merchants would ad-
vertise their goods properly the large
supply houses would find their trade
falling off in the country districts.
"The big department stores advertise
and give prices on every article, while
the home merchant II he advertises at
all, seldom quotes prices.
I'VE like to read in our home pa
pers the prices for which We can buy
goods from our home dealer. together
with description of the goods, 30 that
we may know what we can purchase
from our home stores.
The home merchant, nine times in
tsn, sells his goods as cheap as the
ssme grade of goods are sold by any
Of the big supply houses, but their
customers don't know it.
IA merchant must not think that
even his best customers are so familiar
with his goods and prices that be
knows all about it without being in
formed.
1--WE can buy as cheap at home as
we can anywhere, and it is the mer-
chants duty to educate his customers
to that belief.
Printers ink is the great business
educator.
IAN average of about $500 per
: month is sent away from Irvington to
mail order houses in distant cities for
supplies, the greater part of which
could be bought at home as cheap"
