FROM WOMARS
POINT OF VIEW

While we are discussing the question of
poverty and the proper method OF accept
ance, IL is well 10 make public the Splen-
did manner n which some women have
met life on a small income. So many
stories have come TO me within week
am forced 70 exercise a deal OF discretion
in making a choice. Invariably the wo-
men are as happy as mortals can be IN
der any conditions
The first concerns two sisters, orphaned
at an early age and dependent upon rela-
tives till they were old enough 10 work
believe they earned money for a year be-
fore they felt safe in making a home for
themselves. and the yoUnger's health be-
came so impaired by confinement in a
close Office that prudence was forgotten.
tiny apartment was found on a quiet
street and in four rather bare rooms the
girls laid the foundation OF a real home
The income 20 support Il came from the
hard work of the elder girl. but the other
managed so cleverly that they never
seemed to miss even comforts. The house
work-every bit OF it-end all the sewing
for both were done by the girl at home,
and now, after some years Of such a life.
with constant pinching and innumerable
sacrifices. the pair consider themselves
blessed beyond their deserts. You know
most OF US regard ourselves rather as vic
Tins OF an unfair fate. so their attitude
is all the more striking. I have not been
told the size Of the income Of this tiny
family but common sense assures me If
is rather Insignificant.
A few years ago a grass widow with a
bit Of alinlony. and a bachelor sirl. who
was supporting herself on a varying in
come. combined forces in a four-room
suite. and lived most happily till marriage
broke up the family. The bachelor girl
welded a man whose income had never
suficed TO cover his own expenses. but
under her management Il served TO keep
two in comparative comfort As there
was no money TO spare for help, she did
everything for herself, even TO renovat-
ing furniture and papering walls.
Her wardrobe was a marvel of good
taste and neatness, and whatever pinch
ing she did was kept to herself I am
told that she thought herself very for
tunate woman in possessing the affection
and companionship Of a good man. and
when baby girl arrived she asked moth
ing else Of life. There Is a family of five
in which the wife does all the houseworlS
and sewing. and Is content with her lot
and another where an elder sister has Ia
bored hard for an invalid mother and
younger sister. The feminine head Of a
family OF three told me that for the first
time IN her life she was knowing the
meaning Of comfort. and she has delicate
health and cares innUmerable. In the past
she has done a full share in supporting q
family which contained two feeble and
aged persons. It seems that happiness is
possible on a small income.

not without significance that he absolVed
the tariff from blame in bringing about

But If Clay was inconsistent. there
were others not less so. Daniel Webster
haG been the father OF the argument that
protection was unconstitutional. He had
elaborated that doctrine in speech in
1890. and had given it all the vitality IT
possessed. Yet he was now as firmly
convinced OF the cOnsututionality OF pro-
lection as he had been of its unconstitu-
tionality before. He attributed his change

When the second session OF the Twenty
second Congress met. in December lSSz'
the free traders were ready TO lop on
forthwith every protective duty IN the
tarin OF the previous spring A bill en-
bOdying this principle was early brought
into the House Its appearance there
was the signal for one OF the most
dramatic of all the battles that have been
waged in the long continuing tariff war.
The prOtectionists realized that they
were outnumbered. but they resolved to
stand Ike the Spartans at Thermopylae.
They were angered TO think that the
action OF a single State could overturn
their favorite policy, Just as Mr- Roose-
velt was angered when California threat
ened. by her individual action, 10 precipi-
tate trouble with Japan. The protection
lists accused the advocates Of revision or
being towards before the State Of South
Carolina.
The low tariff people promptly resented
the imputation They pointed 20 the fact
that seven Of the States had appealed 10
Congress TO put an end 10 protection, two
Of them the New England States OF
Maine and New Hampshire. Their
spokesman asserted that it was neither
posed on States which believed them 10 De
oppressive and unconstitutional.
After a prolonged debate on the bill re-
ported 10 the House. it was found that 1t
could not muster the necessary strength
for passage. Then numerous other propo-
sitions were brought forth. but they suf-
fered like lack OF strength At last a
motion was made by a Kentucky member
that all after the enactlng clause be
stricken out, and that in lieu thereof be
substituted the bill drafted by Senator
Clay. which. II was understood could pass
the Senate. This measure was accepted
almost al once and passed the House with
a substantial margin.
This bill had previously been introduced

when the last vestige Of protection should

take its place. The first reduction was

measures In that 10 sought % tie tnt

When the hill was brought into the Sen
ate with the sanction of the House upon
T.. Mr.. Clay promptly took the floor as lte
champion His speech was perhaps the
greatest conciliatory effort Of his Hfe-e
life which gave him rank as the greatest
Of American conciliators. He first re-
ferred 70 the dissensions that had grown
'up because Of protection, and said he felt
that all differences ought TO be harmon
lied and reconciled. Then he asserted
that protection stood In imminent danger.
and drew an appalling picture Of the con
sequences that would follow a sudden

the peTmanency OF the measure De-
thought the protectlonsts would not seek
10 reopen the question for fear Of a worse
fate, and that the free traders would mo-,
seek to overthrow a measure they had
helped enact.
He said he felt that the manufacturers
could we'll afford 70 give the concessions

change for the nine and a half years Of
enjoy As 10 the assertion that he was
led to frame the bin By the notification
acts, he said that so long as South Caro-
lima threatened by force 10 oppose the

cate Of harsh measures. but since he
found that she meant only 10 try to aC-
cOmplish her ends by law. and not by the
sword, there was no longer necessity for
i. harshness. While he thought the expert
ment was a rash. Incorporate, and even
dangerous one, still il was time for re-
cOnciliatiOn and not for extreme meas
ures. He now believed that South Caro-
Ina had been putting up her fists merely
10 see what the United States would do
about H. and with that view in mind he
could no longer see that he was yielding
in the face OF threats when he conceded
all he could 10 the Palmetto State.
The sudden change Of front on the part
OF Clay az this time constitutes one of
the most remarkable moves in the his
tory OF politics. Here was the lion of
protection ready TO lie down with the
lamb OF free trade. His motives have
been variously interpreted. 1t is true
that he yielded practically every funda-
mental OF the doctrine he had preached
so long. Those who know the man best
assert that Clay's motives were Of the
highest. Consistent protectionist, he saw

PERCY A REAL CUT-UP.
Willing to Exchange Most Any Old
Thfnr for Whisky

Percy Washington was standing on
the corner of 10th and V streets Sat
urday night when he saw two large,
empty washtubs. Washtubs are nego-
table for whisky where Percy hangs
out. so he grabbed the tubs and tried to
conceal them about his person. Some
one saw him stuffing the tubs under
his vest and yelled for the police, but
meantime Percy disappeared for short
time.
Then Percy remembered he had a
grudge against ,IIillie Crawford, erst-
while idol OF his heart, into whose ear
he used to breath whisky and love; SO
he hunted Lille up and started In to
bang her about most shamefully. 1t
was no way to treat Lille at ALL the
neighbors said, but once again Percy
escaped before the rubber-heeled police
man could sneak up to him,
Then Percy saw fifteen bags Of -four.
Bags OF flour also are negotiable for
liquor at Percy's hangout, so he and
Isaiah Ross started in to take the f1f-
teen bags from Sam Simpsons store
at 10th and V streets northwest They
could not hide such large quantities
Of -four about their persons, and were
of the tubs and the -four was called
to Judge Mullowny's attention. as was
also the shameful way Percy had treat
ed Lille. The judge sentenced Percy
two months for each tub. four months
in all; fifteen days for beating up Lii
lie, and Isaiah and he got six months
apiece for the -four episode. in spite
in behalf Of the defendants.
1t took three policemen. Garrett,
Simms and Nealon, to check Percy's
operations last Saturday evening.
