Vice Under Capitalism.

Having thus partly given the report
Of conditions in the national capital, one
nay now look at other cities:
"Some of the facts brought out in the
detailed investigation of 1000 prosti.
tutes in New York city are of sufficient
interest to be adduced. OF the entire
number $50 were between Is and 20
years of age; 1854 between 81 and so,
and 90 over 40 years of age. The ma
iority hailed from New York, New Jer-
sey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine,
New Hampshire and Vermont. DR.. San
Ter is inclined to attribute this to the
employment OF much larger proportion
of females in manufacturing occupations
If these tates."-Page 222.
This connects prostitution directly
with the wage system as applied to wo.
men. But the report is even stronger
than this. On page 223 it says:
"of the 1000 cases examined with ref
erenee to previous occupations 033 be
'onged to the servant class, 400 lived
with parents or friends, 2s5 were dress
makers, tailoresses and seamstresses,

and the remainder were engaged in mis-
cellaneous occupations. 53i claimed t,
have earned only 81 per week; 1886, -
go 1888; l27, 81; GS, So"
The bald statement above. taken from
Roosevelt's official report, tells such q
story of immortality, especially Of do
nestle mmoiality. due to the capitalist
system, that it is difficult for a repu
table paper to even mention it. But this
is not all. On page 224 the report says:
"The gross revenues from prostitI.
ton in Chicago in 1906 is estimated at
$20,000,000 and probably more There
are at least 10000 professional prosti
tutes. Annual average receipts Of $4,000
each are brought in by these women
They do not themselves. however. have
the benefit of this revenue. Much of it
is never received by them. They are in
fact, exploited by large business inter
ests. There are four large interests con
cerned in the exploitation of prostitu-
ton. The first of these is the criminal
hotels, the second is the houses of i'll
fame; the third, the cheap dance halls
and Saloons the fourth the men who
deal in women for the trade"
Does it not seem, in the language OF
Mr.. Roosevelt, that free love is a neces-
sary consequence" to capitalism? In
every instance these panderers vote the
Roosevelt ticket or for the party that
happens to be in power locally. They are
protected in Chicago by the republican
administration and in New York by the
democrats.

goods most worthy of extended notice
are the beautiful new voileS. Voiles
when of wool are quite suitable for
home wear in midwinter and are pro-
duced in all the syndicate colors and
tints. Some of them are striped, some
with so many different effects wrought
by weave that it would be impossible
to describe them. There are crepe de
chine in many variations of that stand
ard material and mirror Grape some
what on the same order with a waved
effect. There are fancy black voiles
with stripes in all widths. and | saw
mountains of cotton wolfe for even
ing and light spring. This is woven
sheer and perhaps mercerized, so that
it is a beautiful and elegant material.
The tussah royal has been improved
upon. This is now one of the standard
stuffs, being made of mohair and wool.
1t is so rich and yet SO clinging that it
fills a long felt want. The new weaves
show a rich striped ottoman effect
with heavy cords at intervals of a six
tenth of an inch. | saw also some in
which there were broken lines that
looked like rough pongee. Some of it
again is woven in self stripes, but no
matter how woven it is the best value
for the money, both for elegance and
for wearing quality. 1t looks like the
richest silk. Tussah royal m very
wide and in all the colors, including
black. Rosebery cloth is another ia
vorite, and this, too, is now produced
In self stripes and all colors.
Satin prunella pekin is another re-
vival. or, rather, survival, of the fit
test. 1t is plain, self striped and chev-
ron and as rich as satin. Nearly all
the wooden goods are c~ravenetted to re-
sist moisture, ever the rough and
woolly ones. OF these there is no end.
l did intend to say something about
hats, but there is not room left for
even one, so enormous have they be-
come. OLIVE HARPER.

Getting Acquainted I'm New York

Getting acquainted in New York is
thus described by a man from Atlanta.
He brought a letter of introduction to
the person he was to meet at the lat
ter's office in Nassau street.
This is the Atlantan's report to his
house
"Called at 2 p. m. Boy on the gate
asked my name and business. GAge
him the letter Of Introduction. Boy
returned and told me to sit down.
"Sat down twenty-five minutes. Saw
a man come out of his office and break
through the gate as if he was chased
by hornets.
"sWho's the man from Atlanta who
wants t. see me?' asked the hurried
individual.
az am the man. | replied, trying to
act as if / was also hurried.
"'Come along with me- said the
man, as he grabbed me by the arm.
He dragged me through the main door
into the hallway. He caught sight of
a descending elevator and shrieked to
the man in the car to stop.
"The door Of the car slid ajar and the
man who had me by the arm said,
Come along; let's get acquainted as
we go down.
by that time the car had reached
the landing on the main floor. AS the
door of the car was pushed back the
man who had my letter in his hand
said
al haven't had time to read this
letter, but we know each other; come
in day after tomorrow. I've got to
make a train. I'll know you when we
meet again. Goodbye
"Betore 1 could say goodbye he had
turned the corner and was out of sight.

More Time Needed for Ordinary
Subjects

The principal of a New York school
made a timely protest before the New
Jersey High School Teachers Associa-
ton recently against fads and fancies
of higher education being foisted upon
our public school system. Professor
McAndrew bluntly presented an OBJ
vious fact when he said that many
children are in a state of ''mental
ataxia" as a sequence of the forced
study saddled on all for the benefit of
the few who expect later to enter col
lege. Authorities in charge of the pub
lie schools might better give careful
thought to providing the substantial
