SWISH OF SILK
PETTICOATS LEADS
GIRLS TO RUIN
st. Louis Women's League Will
Urge Campaign to Do
Away With Them.

st. Louis. Mo-, June 24.-'The swish
Of silk petticoats around their bells lead
more girls to destruction than anything
else" said Mrs. Dan Kneff1er, president
Of the Woman's Trade Union League of
st. Louis last night.
1T is not ~ppearance they care for;
1t is the pleasure they have In hearing
the rustic"
AS a result Of Mrs. Knefler's views
the league Will wage a campaign to do
away with silk petticoats. Officers
claim that a deaf girl, not being able.
to hear the rustic of silk, does not care
for such material in her wardrobe.
Mrs. Kneffler continued in explaining
the new war:
Women have gone silk petticoat
mad. The alluring rustic leads poor,
girls to buy a half worn out petticoat
at a rummage sale. She delights in the
swish. although the garment may be In
rags.
THE garment renders her liable to
two different points of attack-extrav-
agance and suspicious which men nat
urally will entertain toward a girl
wearing garments which he knows she
cannot afford"

Difference Between Parties.
Beyond all platform declarations there
are fundamental differences between the
republican party and Its chief opponent
which makes the one worthy n the 9TH
In history, he difference between de-
mocracy and republcanism Is that the one
stood for debased currency, hne other for
honest currency: the one for free silver.
the other for sound money; the for free
trade, the other for protection: the one
for the contraction OF American influence.
the other for its expansion; the one has
been forced to abandon every position
taken on the great issues before the peo-
pie, the other has held and indicated an.
In experience, the difference between de-
means adversely. while the other means
prosperity; one means low wages the 9TH
er NEAR high; one means doubt and debt.
the other means confidence. and thrift.
Another Of the differences between de-
mocracy and r~epublicanism is that one
stands for vacilliation and timidity in
government the other Tor strength and
purpose: one stands for obstruction, tho
other Tor constructions; n promises, the
other performs; one finds fault, the other
finds work.
The present tendencies Of the two par
ties are even more marked by inherent
differences. The tend of democracy Is
toward socialism, while the republican
party stands for a wise and regulated
indivtdualism. Socialism would destroy
wealth. Republicanism would prevent It's
abuse. Socialism would give to each an
equal, right to take: r~epublicanism would
give to each an equal right to earn. So
cialtsm would offer an equality Of pos
session which would soon leave no one
anything to possess; republicanism would
give equality OF. opportunity which would
assure to each his share Of a constantly
increasing sum of possessions.
In line with this tendency, the demo-
cratic party Of today believes In govern
ment ownership. while the republican
Ultimately, democracy would have. the
nation own the people, while republican
ism would have the people own the ma

Upon this platform of principles and
purposes, reaf1rming our adherence to
every republican doctrine. proclaimed
since the birth Of the party, we go be-
fore the country, asking the support not
only of those who have acted with us
heretofore, but of all our fellow citizens
who regardless Of past political differ
ences, unite in the desire to maintain
the, policies, p~erpetuate the blessings and
make secure the achievements OF q
greater America.
