THE WISH OUTLOOK

All so soon should droop and fade
Like beast of burden burdened, day
on day?
See the women and their dresses as
they go,
Trimmed and retrimmcd, line on line
and row on row:
Hanging over fragile hips,
Driving color from the lips,
Dragging down their foolish wearers
to the grave!
Suicide, and nothing less,
Is this awful style of dress
Who shall rise to woman S rescue, who
will save?
See the wOmen-foolsh women, dy-
ing fast:
What have all their trimmed-up dress
es brought at last
Worry, pain, disease and death,
Loss of bloom, and gasping breath;
Doctors bills, and golden hours
thrown away.
They have bartered off for these
Beauty, comfort, health and ease
All to ape the tieeting fashion of day.
Surely here is sermon in rhyme.
the sentiments of which are worthy
the serious consideration of women
everywhere With some of the foregO-
ing authors sentiments on other mat
ters we have no sympathy whatever,
but she has written many excellent
things i'm her day, and, while she has
often written verse of higher liter
AIRY quality than the foregoing. she has
written nothing more timely. more
true to fact, and more worthy of being
regarded seriously.
''Suicide and nothing less
Is this awful rage for dress"
but it is suicide by a process of linger-
ing torture, compared with which the
sutferings of ordinary suicide are un-
worthy of mention. Moreover, those
who in this way torture themselves
into untimely graves are at the same
time committing moral suicide -deliv-
ering themselves over to the second
death. How sad the case of those who
barter their present and eternal in
terests for the smiles of the goddess
called Fashion!

sense of being fgurative intermedi-

OF Gods messenger every man and

must compound classical lore with
modern scientific scholarship. We
fear that DR.. Friedlander employed
Maggidus in arriving at his rather
forced conclusions. On the whole,
however, his address was admirable,
notwithstanding the fact that he
evolved ii somewhat strained thought

The Curse of Enslavement
to Feminine Fashion
w. II. HOGUE.

w. T. HOGUE.
There can be no reasonable doubt
that the enslavement to the fashions
of their sex is one of the greatest
physical curses resting upon the wOm
en- of our time, particularly in demo-
cratic America, where, if anywhere on
earth, our sisters should assert their
independence of the goddess who
rules in this domain with such relent-
less tyranny.
Nor is the physical curse all, or the
worst, of the consequences of such en-
Slavement. Connected with the whole
train of physical ills begotten of in
sane devotion to feminine fashion,
there are moral consequences equally
ruinous and far more lasting and
serious. To very large extent
the horrors inflicted upon woman
kind through the ''sOcial evil, y
in all its forms, are the out
come. directly or indirectly, of wOm-
an s inordinate love of dress, and her
consequent surrender to the unreas-
enable demands of fashion. Costume
and morals have always been closely
related, and display in dress on their
part has ever been the devils most
effective device for Turing girls and
women from paths of virtue and
purity.
Whenever Dame Fashion bids the
gentler sex adopt Il style of dress
which accentuates the points of differ
r..
anatomy. she puts upon them not only
physical burden and bondage, but
those tokens which incite too often.
alas. encourage the improper ad-
vanccs of evil-minded men,
1t is rather of the physical conse-
quenccs of woman s bondage to fash
ion. however. that the writer would
register a note of warning in this arti
Gle. Enslavement to the relentless
goddess of this particular realm is
nothing less than sort of purgatorial
torment i'm this life-a kind of physi-
cal hell on earth. The writer prefers
to let woman testify on this some
what delicate subject. in confirmation
of the foregoing statement. and hence
reproduccs. though somewhat lengthy
the following poem, entitled. "The
women" from the pen of Ella Wheel
cr Wilcox:
See the women-pallid women, of our
land
See them fainting. dying. dead, OH
every hand!
See them sinking meath weight
Far more burdensomc than Fate
Ever placed upon poor human beings
backs.
See them falling as they 60
BY their own hands burdcned So
Paling, failing. signing. dying in their
tracks
See the CHASTITY women on
the streets!
With their corset tortured waists, and
pinchcd-up feet!
Hearts and lungs all out of place.
WhalebOnc forms devoid of grace:
Faces pallid, robbed of Nature s rosy
bloom:
Purple-lidded eyes that tell.
With language known too well.

Passover


over to come. A great
fault, or we would rather say, lost OPP
pOrtunity of the Jewish press and the
Jewish pulpit is the postponement of
editorial and address on the seder to
the festival itself, instead of urging
its significance in the Jewish dOmes-
tic economy well in advance in order
to admit the spontaneously inspired
Jewish housewife to make all due
preparation. 1t is, indeed, most un-
fortunate that Il genuine and whole
some Jewish atmosphere prevails not
nowadays in the Jewish home. The
Jewish home is barren of all Jewish
influence. In how many western Jew
lsh homes today is the Kiddush in
toned on II Friday evening! Nay!
are the Sabbath lights kindled and the
table presents IL Sabbath appearance
Where such is the ease, the number is
largely on the decrease Life's artif-
cialities. cmptinesscs and extrava-
gances are creating havoc with ali
practical idealism. and the seder has
likewise been consigned to oblivion.
1t has been frequently remarked that
we Jews live by memory. 1t almost
seems as if memory is today negli-
gible quantity in this age of get, and
grab, and gain. The Jewish home in
the past was the nursery of all the vir-
tues, today it is the prison, nay! worse
the grave. With what anticipation
and joy was the coming of the first
evening of Passover looked forward
to but two decades ago. Now, it passes
by all unnoticed. Here and there we
may hear of Il communal scder. which.
indeed, is very gratifying. and of
children s scdcr which. however. is ii
mockery and jest. The seder is es-
SonfidHy a home observance. and
should be reSorrod for the home. 1t
will not do to affect any compromise
in this matter. Besides the sentiment
and memory connected with the scder.
it preserves the historic continuity Of
the jew. it awakens ideals which we
are to cherish and actualiZe in our
daily lives. For these occasions are
not for one day only. nor for seven
days. but lifelong. 1t further sancti-
fics the home and the parents. the min
istering priests. 1t inspires both par
cnts and children with love for our
race and for our faith. and enables
all to join with one accord in thank
ing God for the blessed gift of free
dom. We would do well not to out
rage this sentiment and this memory
as so many of us are disposed to do to-
day. And then it brings the sunlit
message of hope and possibility. We
cannot do without it in religious
economy. NOW is the time to urge it.

French Press Says lnterfe.

Paris, Sept. 2,-The action of Ger.
many in breaking up the concert of
powers with regard to Morocco, by
notifying the signators of the Algeri-
cas- act that she considered the actual
situation as demanding the immedi-
ate recognition of Mulai Hafid, the
usurping Sultan Of Morocco, has
fallen like bomb shell in Paris.
Great CONSERVATION is manifested
in official circles. France can see in
Germany's action only the intention
to disregard the Algericas act and
seek special position in Morocco for
herself. The consequences from an
international and French standpoint
are expected to be deplorable.
The French press is unanimous in
considering Germany's action provo
eative and possibly productive of an
actual crisis.

Toledo, Ohio, Sept. 2.-Veterans of

was two miles long. The procession
was reviewed by William H. Taft,
Governor Harris, Senator Joseph B.
Foraker and many other notables.
Judge Taft and Senator For
aker meeting for the first time
since the Republican national conven-
ton. created a hurricane of cheers
when they shook hands in the Of

was passing.
When marching past the reviewing
stand about II o'clock the veterans
were saluted with bombardment of
flowers for which the women of Tole-
do had been preparing for some days.
They emerged from the floral shower
to be greeted by an immense human
llctSt luoQC up uCully otOVO oCAOOl SAll-
dren who in dresses of red, white and
blue swayed their bodies so that the
flag seemed to sway in the breeze.
The streets were packed SO closely
that it was almost impossible to move
along the sidewalks. Local newspa-
pers estimated that there were 150,.
900 visitors in the city.
Features Of the Parade.
The Texas veterans, some forty
of whom were in line, attracted much
attention by the seven foot spread OF
steers horns carried by Colonel D.
Wagner. The men of Clusters com
mand were easily distinguishable by
their streaming red ties. This badge
has been worn since the first encamp
ment soon after the war ended, when
Mrs. Elizabeth Custer, wife of Gen
eral Custer. threw long piece Of
red flannel at her husbands com
mand. which was torn up by the men
on the spot and made into red ties

John Wrinck, generally known as
John Luke or Dutch John. we'll known
old timer died on Sunday, December %.
at the home Of Joe Morse, about 16 miles
northeast Of Lamar. He was injured in
a runaway several weeks ago and died
from the effects Of such injuries. When
the first wave of immigration struck
this section Of the Arkansas Valley in
1886, Dutch John was an old timer,
whose headquarters had been in the vi
cinity of Granada for many years. He
was then fine specimen Of physical
manhood, and was regarded as danger
GUS man, though not inclined to start a
quarrel or fight. His life was that of q
cow-puncher through all the most ex-
citing times when cow-punching, Indian
fighting or buffalo hunting were al
most the sole occupation Of man in the
Arkansas Valley.
Dutch once told the writer Of this
item that he brought the first bunch Of
cattle to the Arkansas River from Texas
that were ever brought here. He was
no doubt the pioneer oow-puncher Of
this valley and perhaps OF this state.
As young MAJ, he enlisted in tn

civil war in the state of Missouri and
served about three years. He came
west in the Cos and began the life he led
until few years nco. He dropped his
Polish name of Wrinck and became
known as John Luke. He was supposed
by his companions to be German and
became known as dutch John" He
never married and became somewhat
eccentric character. His inability to
read and write, and his constituencies
concerning the matter, caused him to
neglect his family and they lost all trace
OF him for more than 80 years. He was
finally located by them through the
writer of this article, and nephew vie
tied him about three or four years ago,
and John returned home with him for
a short visit.
A few years ago be settled down as a
farmer and etock-r aiser on homestead
on Big Sandy. He also leased consid-
cradle body OF state land in partnership
with the late w. j.. Wills m of Denver
He became a fruit raiser and was said
10 have the finest orchard in Prowers
county.
Since tho settlers Of 1886 arrived in
the valley there has been nothing in
Johns actions or habits to ind icste the
typical bad man, but he was undoubt-
eddy able to take care Of himself thro'
emergencies that must have come to
one leading his kind of life. The last
Indian known to have survived the
Chivipgton battle, was pursued by
Dutch John to point south Of Holly.
He got fresh horse south of Holly and
disappeared in the Plum Creek coun-
try.
John Luke was supposed to be about
70 years of age. He was buried from
Lamar and his funeral was largely at
tended by old timers from Lamar,
Granada and Holly. He was member
of Proctor G. A. r. Post of Granada. He
was a kind-hearted man and will be
missed by many, especially by The early
settlers and by those who had lived
here before the invasion of the farmers
began.
