I ried, and have had difficulty in
finding a man to lead you to the
altar, go to work as waiter in a
restaurant.
All you need to do to find a husband
Is to dress your hair nicely, put on a
white apron with embroidered straps
over the shoulders and carry food to
hungry men in a restaurant.
Or become one of the chorus girls
In burlesque company. Their chances
to marry are almost as good as those
of walter girl. But 1t is not every
girl who can get into the chorus, while
any young woman with health and
strength can get a job in a restaurant
Miss Nellie" has been a waiter girl
for twelve years. She is in charge of
a number Of girls in a restaurant on
Walnut street. She has been a waiter
In Chicago and other large places and
her opinion is worth listening to.
"Well, just let me tell you some
thing" she began. give me a girl
who Is anxious to marry and l will
guarantee to have her married in three
months If she comes to work in
restaurant. OF course she will have
to be fairly good looking and not be
over 100 years along.
why? Because we girls are thrown
before the public in a way no other
class of girls in the world is. We meet
all sorts of men every day. Many of
them are strangers in the city or are
old bachelors. In either event they
are apt to be lonely. They want to
get married and there is a fascination
about a waitress that attracts them.
you know a hungry man is pretty
likely to warm up to a girl who brings
81 down
before him. And he's more apt to
when he observes that she looks so
neat and wholesome. He gets to
thinking to himself that she'd look
sweet in a home of his own.
Men "Warm Up" to Waiter Girls
1--WE have hundreds of men every
month who ask the girls to go to
shows or parks with them. OF course
many of them are just out for pleas
ure, but others are lonely and want
q companion to share their evenings.
This is the start that eventually leads
to the altar"
Don't waiter girls often marry other
walters or cooks?" she was asked.
Miss Nellie" gasped in horror.
well, for goodness sake!" she ex-
With a look of supreme disgust upon
her face she turned away. Then she
faced the questioner again and said

it is because she wants to better her
She makes as much as the
cook, if not more. She would consider
1t a lowering in the social scale, any
way"
But suppose you loved the cook?"
Love? Now wouldn't that squeeze
you? Let me tell you, son, we girls
see too much of life to take any stock
In love. It's a dream. A delusion.
Say, when I worked in Chicago knew
ots of waiter girls that married. They
had good homes and good husbands,
but do you know, they would often
come downtown and work moons just
because they liked 1t. There's a fas-

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PRESS

hG0E III IES VI n G FhESS
The newspapers relation to the public
is one of great responsibility. 1t is a
mentor and preceptor to a great many
of its readers. Busy people haven't
time to follow the affairs of the world
Tor themselves. The newspaper per-
forms that office for them, digesting
events for their consideration, and they,
as a rule, accept the conclusions Of
their faVorite paper as being correct.
Not even the pulpit wields so powerful
an influence in the molding of public
opinion as the newspaper press. The
preacher from his pulpit may address
100 to 1000 people twice a week; the
daily newspaper editor addresses from
6OOO to 100000 people every day of the
week. And, with all respect to the
preacher, the editor has the more at
tent1ve and interested audience. The
preacher sometimes becomes tiresome
yet the audience is forced to hear him
out The editor doesn't become bore
because nobody who doesn't want to is
forced to read what he has to say.
Not less than the pulpits duty, there
tore, 1t is the duty of the press to
preach always morality, truth and JUS
tlce; to use its best efforts upon every
possible occasion to elevate its con-
stituency; to teach right living and
iurther the ends of civilization; to lend
It's aid to the efforts of the pulpit for
the suppression of sin and vice And
the vast majority of the daily news
papers do this. There are some, to be
sure, that do not. They cater to The
lowest and basest of human emotions.
having in view only the pennies that
may be had from paper sales or the
dollars that may be had from advertts-
ers. They care nothing if they scatter
seeds of moral decay and death, so long
as their books show a profit.--Savannah

pay. Consequently they spend a lot
of money on foolishness. There rs not
better dressed crowd in town. When
they marry they expect the same ex-
vagance. Few waiter girls care to
marry, although I think they have
more opportunity than any class in
the world. why there isn't a day
goes by but that some man proposes
marriage to a girl In here"
Eager to Marry Chorus Girls
Miss lie May is a chorus girl. When
she was told what Miss Nellie" had
said she laughed outright, long scorn-
full laugh
"Oh, gee" she exclaimed. Now
what sort Of guy is 1t who would go
to a restaurant for wife?
Mister" she continued, 1--WE girls
Of the chorus could get married every
day. All the Johnnles" out in front
are tickled to death to meet us. And
they mean business, too. Cause why?
They think we are more jolly and ami
mated than other girls They think
we could give a continuous vaudeville
show all our life. Besides they know
we go out for a good time and n spice
of naughtiness attracts men. There
is scarcely a girl in the show that
hasn't had fellows follow them from
Olit NONll W dllONlltIs anu ltNltlSt WHY
say, we get all sorts every day. The
chorus girl could marry before she has
been out a month. But what's the use?
We get good money, spend it as we
please and have a good time. Hus-
bands would be Jealous and interfer-
ing.
THAT is why there are so few mar
riages in the 'perfesh.' We see the
married people in the company and
they are fussing all the time.
"As for love, if there is such a thing,
we don't see any man long enough to
get thoroughly acquainted with him.
No, it is nix for marriage among us,
though the Lord knows we have the
chance"
Stenographer Mocks at Love
Said a stenographer who has worked
at the profession for years and in some
of the largest offices in Kansas City:
"There are chances for marriage in
our business, of course. We meet men
of all sorts and conditions. AS a rule
they are men Of refinement and culture.
If q girl is at all attractive she can
easily form friendships with men who,
will make good husbands. We girls
don't care to marry man on a small
salary. We would probably have to
help support them. We watch the
the world, men who are young but COM
mand good salaries.
"If our employer is an unmarried
man 1t is no great task to make him
desire to marry us. Many employers,
however look upon their stenographers
as office fixtures. Sometimes men
marry their stenographers because they
know too much of the inside of the
mans business and they are afraid of
them and others find their stenogra-
pliers so important to them they marry
to prevent their leaving them.
"Stenographers meet men so often
and so many of them that they are
able to become so that they can't talk
to man except in business way.
Love becomes something to read
about or dream about, but does not
seem to be a reality. If a girl wants
to marry 1 would not advise her to
become a stenographer. She would
lose all her ideals Of the sacredness of
love and marriage and look upon it as
a commercial transaction"

ARaiIroad Commissioner.

There is one man on the rail-
road commission whom all Oregon
knows wilt do his righteous duty.
Perhaps all will, but his four years
in a public capacity are Oswald
Vests guarantee of good faith.
He has always made good with
the people. His administration OF
the Office of state land agent as the
appointee of Governor Chamberlain
has brought him high repute
throughout the Northwest. With
the executives good advice, Mr..
West has been the premier in the
publication of state land conditions
in Oregon. He drove spurious
land agents from the temple. There
were no records in the Office of loss
es from school sections, but he sup
piled and registered them. The
whole land business was in mess
and he brought order out OF the
chaos. Forged and fraudulent certi-
hcates had been employed by spec,
ulators and thousands of acres OF
lands were in process of illegal
seizure. With keen insight, Mr..
West detected the thieves in their
roguery and many of them were
brought to justice. The whole land
system of the state under the bust
ness rules and painstaking care that
he applied has been reduced to
systematized conditions wherein
the buyer can deal directly with
the state without the aid Of so called
agents who once hung around the
capitol. He has codifed the land
laws of the state and in bill pass.
ed by the present session the bars
are all up and future thefts of the
public domain will be next to i'm
possible.
Mr.. Vests record as land agent
is bond as to what the will do as
railroad commissioner. He takes q
quick, keen, vigorous mentality in
to the commission and what i:
equally essential, uncompromisine
Integrity.

One Veto.

Governor Chamberlain recent
veto. in no sense indicated that he
is hostile to juvenile courts. Even
had it been sustained, the juvenile
court would have continued under
the existing law to carry on its ex-
cellent work. The executive neg
ative was a blow aimed at the long
list of ofhcialdom that the new bill
creates. The state and the country
are becoming frenzied for oflcialism.
We must have commissions. boards
of controls, inspectors with clerks
and stenog-aphers on every sub
lect conceivable and for each, there
must be a salary and an increase of
salary. There seems absolutely no
limit to the string of liveried, sal.
aried and ofhcialized boards and
buncombes that must be set up for
the public to support by taxation.
Two years ago when the juven-
lie courts were created it was the
widely heralded statement that
there was to be no additional cost.
But here, almost before the ink in
the signature to the bill creating it,
Is dry, comes a demand for long

ASYLUM FOR ESTHER MITCHELL.
Closing Scene in Sad Drama Of Real
szE T1 Life. s.s =.

Esther Mitchell is now in the
Steilacoom asylum. A Seattle dis
patch to the Portland Journal under
date OF Feb. 2oth says:
esther Mitchell, who since last
July has been confined in the coun-
ty Jail charged with the murder of
her brother, George Mitchell, left
for the state asylum for the insane
at Steilacoom this noon. The COM
mitment was signed by Superior
Judge Frater this forenoon immed-
lately upon the receipt of a remittur
from the supreme court conveying
formal notification that Judge Frat
er's act in calling lunacy commis-
sion to investigate the mental con-
dition of the girl was legal.
AS soon as the commitment was
signed and delivered to Deputy
County Clerk Stickles a certified
copy was made and given to Chief
Deputy Sheriff Ed Drew. A few
minutes later Esther Mitchell was
informed of the disposition of her
case and at once began preparation
to leave her cell in the woman S
ward of the Jail. Mrs. Kelly, po-
lice matron. was summoned to ac-
company the girl to the asylum.
Esther Mitchell received the
news to 60 to the asylum as stole
ally as she has accepted everything
that has had to do with her since
she shot her brother. Before leav-
ing the ward, she bade the women,
who have been her companions
goodbye and was in turn made the
recipient of many congratulations.
Ever since she has been in jail
Esther Mitchell has been an object
of sympathy on the part of women
who have been in her company.
She has never been intimate with
any of them, but her demeanor has
been kindly, and all of those who
came in contact with her, learned
to sympathize with the pale. silent,
girl, who seemingly was wrapped
up IN some mysterious influence
and bore none of the characteristics
of her fellow prisoners-women
from the slums of the city. devoid
of any but the very basic. indica.
tions Of their sex.
