FALL F0OT6EAR
FOR WOMEN
ShdpeIy Shoes of Fine Make
Soon to be Brought Out.

New York, Aug. 2S.-Samples of
shapely shoes for fall and winter have
just reached our exclusive dealers
and without one exception the new
footwear is dainty, neat, and as
womanly as they should be- The
button boot is preferred to the laced
and with little variation the straight
comfortable fitting shoes with the
graceful instep and shapely toe pre-
dominates.
Concerning materials, the SER
viceable, practical, indestructible buck
is very much in evidence, and where
a matching effect necessitates the
soft, velvetry suede feathers a nice
line of wanted colors are on order
The loose, woven broadcloth or gaiter
tops for shoes are at discount, and
in their stead we find the cloth-top
shoes as durable as leather The
new shoes cloth is of close woven
cravenetted serge, SO tightly woven,
indeed that the weave is scarcely dis
cernable This stanch material cley-
erly conforms to the foot, is neat.
dressy, and the fact of its being wa
terproofed adds considerably to its
value
Shoes of all buck or buck tops
with patent vamps are to be stylish.
Natural buck for general wear will
be serviceable, and the brown buck
will stand high in favor For more
dress occasions there are shoes
with white buck tops and fine patent
vamps in black This black and white
effect is liked because it accommo-
dates itself so well to costumes in
color

RECRENAT HUSBANDS
vi UST SUPPORT FAMILY

Washington, D. c.. Aug. 2S.-(Spe-
ciaD Finding the juvenile court a
powerful ally in the struggle to sup
port themselves and their little ones,
left destitute by neglectfuI and run
ken husbands. hundreds of deserted
wives are taking advantage of the
regulation which permits them to
get nonsupport warrants for delin-
quent spouses. So great is the rush
of nonsupport cases that the greater
part of the time of the court is de-
voted to this branch of justice.
Charity workers and students of
sociology are united in their praise
of the good accomplished by forcing
men willfully neglectful of their fam
lilies to provide for them. Once ar
raign ed in juvenile court the delin-
quent must show the charge Of nom
support is not justified or else the
court orders him to pay a reasonable
percentage of his earnings to his fam
lily
During the year which followed the
establishment of the court, July 2,
1906, there were 287 nonsupport cases
disposed of, and $4,000 was collected
for the support of wives and child
rem. From July /, 1907, to July L,
1908, there were $40 cases. The
sums collected and dispensed increas-
ed to $24 1000 Court officials say that
from the number of warrants issued
since July i, this year promises to
double the record of last year They
attribute this increase TO the fact thaG
destitute wives are finding the court
their best friend in their struggle to
keep themselves and their children
from want, rather than to any in
crease in the number of assertions.
Eight warrants were issued yes
terday for delinquent husbands. A
sum averaging $3.50 is collected daily
and dispensed by the court. The
collections are made Saturday night
at the various precincts of the city,
and are forwarded to the court to be
called for by the benef1ciaries.
The passage of the law compelling
men to support their families has
greatly decreased drunkenness among
men and delinquency among child
rem. Once he is properly provided
for at home, the juvenile offender
has little temptation to commit Of
lenses. and the increase of home COM
forts has been followed by great
falling off in the number of infrac-
tions of the law on the part of child
rem.

A MiIIionaire's Bad Work.
Baltimore Sum-

Somehow or other there is a popu-
lar impression that it takes a million
aire to do thing just right When
bank president is wanted million
aira is sought. When political pat
ronage is doled out the higher chairs
are saved for the millionaires. When
it comes time to eulogize the dead we
reserve our warmest encomiums for
the millionaire. He was the son of
so-and-so, another millionaire, had a
stately town house and magnificent
country estate, possessed fourteen au-
tomobiles and eleven yachts and made
thirty trips to Europe. He was a
great lover of art and owned gem
uine Raphael, which he occasionally
permitted the hoi polloi to see. His
place will be hard to fill,
All this is we'll and good The mil
lionaire is very commendable in
stitution, and most of us have pref
ty well-defined notion that there
ought to be just one more of him. No
one is so foolish as to underestimate
the power of money, but of all the
crimes which have been laid at its
door no one ever accused it of impart-
ing intellect or merit to it's possessor
So it happens that even million
aires have been known to make mis-
takes; yet, because of their position,
they will have certain following
despite their liability to error. Take
Joseph Medill Patterson, the Chicago
millionaire for instance. He has
written book which is called an ex-
pose of society. A peep into the in
ner circles is always interesting, but
the views of the millionaire author
are SO cut on the bias as to give dis
torted vision. Mr.. Patterson has
been in turn editor, municipal owner
ship advocate, member of the state
legislature and socialist. He has been
charged with being eccentric, but,
with it all, his views command a GER
tain amount of attention, for he has
proved himself to be a successful bus
mess man.
The new book will sell, if for no
other reason than that its author is a
millionaire. Because of that fact
some people will accept as true his
contentious, according to- the book,
that every fashionable woman drinks
to excess; that they are untrue to
their homes; that they are animated
by no thought except vulgar display
and insatiate desire for money, and
that they care nothing for the means
by which this money is obtained,
while the stage is a place of vice.
We need good books which will
teach people high ideals and give
them faith in their fellow-men. All
is not evil in this life, and it is folly
to visit the sins of few irresponsi-
bic upon a class as whole. Society
is not all bad, nor is the stage all bad.
Books which emphasize the failings
of either do more harm than the sins
| themselves. If Mr.. Patterson will
cling to his socialistic beliefs, it is
easy to understand his view point,
but owing to his high position among
men of affairs, his book will command
wider attention than it deserves. For
tunately, the majority of people still
retain their wholesome views of life,
and they will decline to be deceived
by pictures painted by man who,
although a millionaire, has yet to
prove himself either an artist or even
a good literary photographer.

No "CIasses" For America
New York World


Hanging for a long time on the
fringes of the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties and influencing both
to some extent, socialism now regu-
larly presents candidates and plat
forms of its own. Some of it's speci-
fic demands have been made familiar
by the older parties, but its one
characteristic plea in this campaign
is that there must be "class conscious
ness" and so of course class preju-
dices and ultimately class warfare.
On this unstable foundation social
ism as now eXemplified would build.
1t is important that Americans
should grasp the full meaning of
this programme, for it involves a
fundamental change in their society
and in their government. To be con-
trolled politically and socially by
class consciousness means that an
employee shall regard his employer
with suspicion and hatred: that an
employer shall reciprocate with con-
tempt and injustice; that the poor
shall covet the possessions of the
rich and hate all who may be more
successful than themselves, and that
IL
Cypress the poor.
In word, class consciousness and
the things that must follow in it's
train would exaggerate and give per-
manence to the very evils which
wise statesmen now seek to mini
mize Even under a monarchy, where
class distinctions have the sanction
of law and CUSTOM class conscious
Cd n ocsies To
cient errors which time has done much
to modify. In republic, if privi-
lege has taken root, it must be clear
to reasoning minds that the remedy
is not more favor for selected classes
but less
Socialism's first concrete sugges-
ton to American freemen, therefore,
is that they proclaim the republic of
equal rights and equal opportunities
a failure; that the badge of citizen
ship be cast aside; that men born to
toll remain sullen slaves of toll, hat
ing and hated by all who chance to
have had a better start in life; that
there shall be no more honest ambi-
ton and aspiration, and that the
narrow limits of caste and prejudice,
and not the broad horizon of worth
their future.
To most Americans class con-
seriousness can suggest nothing but
hoplessness. To most Americans it
can open no vista save that of stag
nation and retrogression. To most
Americans it can mean only the falsi-
fication of the republics promise of
high reward for personal effort and
merit. To most Americans it must
belle the Declaration of independence
and the teachings of three genera
tons of patriots, many of them men
who under a regime of class con-
seriousness would not have risen to
power and distinction.
Every true American sentiment is
at war with this doctrine. The class
idea menaces the man and it men
aces the state. 1t is a fit forerunner
OF revolution and depotism.
