CLUBWOMFN PLAN
WAGE GIRLS HOME
Pastors and Kindly Mothers
Discuss Idea and Lay
Sure Basis
Several Others May Be Built
and Adapted to Varying
Classes of Occupations

Twenty OF the city's representative
men and women met at the Calf rnia
club yesterday morning to discuss a
plan that will help to solve the great
problem that faces the working women
OF the city just now. They propose to
establish a practical home for working g
girls, where. for small payment every
week, q girl my have comfortable
home. good meals, protection, music,
books and the companionship of her
girl friends and coworkers.
The meeting yesterday was presided
over by Mrs. Edward Xavier Rolker,
who has for months been faithful
worker in this cause. Some Of the
speakers were Rev. D. o. Crowley of
the Youths Directory, Rev. George
Burlingame. Rev. Bradford Leavitt,
Rev. William K. Guthrie, DR.. RAIDER,
Mrs. Sidney S. Palmer and Mrs. North
Whitcomb.
The proposed establishment will be
in no sense charitable institution, nor
will il be a utopian experiment. It
will be managed by the girls them
selves, and although some money will
be needed in the beginning, these
homes have proved self-supporting In
other cities, and should be so here.
Several OF the minor points were dis
cussed. the questions of matrons.
charges, rules and regulations among
others. The point was raised that it
might be we'll TO have several of such
homes, and to CLASSIFY their occupancy
to girls earning about the same salaries
or doing about the same sort of work.
A committee to bring the matter be-
fore the public and to make inquiries
as to certain details was appointed.
The lack OF a pleasant room to go
to and proper companionship Of her
own age is one Of the greatest sources
of danger to a hard working girl" said
Mrs. Rolker. "A far smaller percent
age OF our girls would go wrong did
they feel that rest and recreation
await them at the end OF the day,
An investigation as to the cond tions
OF their homes will convince any one
that such an institution as we plan ia
a necessity"

THE
RELIGIOUS
MAN

Who is the religious man. do you
ask? The church-g goer, the pious pro-
fessor. the man of many prayers and
long. the reciter of creed. the quoter
of scripture phrases. the confessor of
a name. the supporter of church
Perhaps. But there Is a better than
these, and more religious. The man
who lives honest life, bearing it's bur
dens patiently, facing it's problems
bravely; performing its duties faith
fully; who seeks to make the lives of
those about him a little more happy:
into every act that he performs: who
lives well and loves well-he is the
religious man.

This overthrow is accomplished

TELEPHONE NO. 10.

The Liberators," by Hon.
Isaac N. Stevens, late editor of
the Pueblo Chieftain, is a timely
political story that ought to be
read by every voter. Its dedica-
cation shows that it was written
for a purpose, viz: To point out
the obstacles to a successful pub
lie career for the honorably am
bilious youth of America. This
mission it certainly performs,
for by teaching and precept and
example it makes manifest the
decentralization of existing politi-
cal parties.
Very early in the book the au-
thor brushes aside the cobwebs
ofprejudice usually raised against
the frank and honest discussion
OF public questions in this coun-
try, and though veritable Har-
riet Taylori knowledge of Amer
ican economics, he has a beauti-
full and wealthy woman inspire
two young men with the patriot
ism required to bring about a
betterment of our social and gov
ermental conditions.
The story abounds in strong
political discussion and startling
political situations, woman's ecu
ality. in beautiful mountain leg
ends and romantic love scenes.
1t is a refined, high class, beauti-
full Ove story.
i ne author shakes down the
temple Of American feudalism,
not by the moo, but by the rich
and the strong, whose hearts
have been purified through the
divine fire of patriotism. Per
