THESE CANDIDATES
DIDN'T GET MUCH

The price of no cigars-not even
the plain old Owls-are included in
the expense accounts of candidates
for public Office who have yet filed.
Every last one of them, apparently
worked the glad hand racket and
kept their coin sewed up in the
corner of their pockets.
Bob Farley and M. H. Eggleston
declare in their accounts that they
spent nothing but the $25 it cost
them to file. c. Twitchell candi,
date for councilman from the First
ward, spent 1915 for cards aside
from the $40 filing fee, and F. E.
Michaels. candidate for council,
man from the Fifth ward, spent
$3.50 for printing and $40 for fill
ing.

woman-beautiful, well dressed
who appeared within its precincts
periodically. stayed days, and then
suddenly dropped out of sight.
She came on no errand of philan'
thropy, to save no souls. Sociology
was not her bent-no, sociologists
are specialized. pious, and draw
their skirts about them to keep
sociological study from soiling their
specialized, pious selves. Sociolo
gists never learn from experience
This woman lived the life of the
tenderloin.
She drank in the lowest resorts
drank to excess, drank to low, sod,
den depths.
She consorted with the men OF
the tenderloin, she consorted with
the women of the tenderloin: she
lived their lives. told their stories
cursed their curses, apparently en-
ioyed their atmosphere.
She lived here and there, one day
In disreputable rooming houses
where mockery of a register sat

next day In the houses of the under

She was Mrs. This in one place
Mrs. That in another. The tender

Heretofore the National Consum
ers' league has occupied a passive
position regarding the, questions Of
wages, hours, etc., and confined its
efforts to waging war dagainst
sweatshops and their products.
Now the league has entered a
new era. At the national conven.
ton in Providence, r. l., just held
it was admitted that after 10 years
experience the plans to regulate
the sweated trades have utterly
failed.
The consumers league is now
organized in 20 states and en-
braces 60 subordinate bodies. The
membership is almost eS6lusiyely
composed of society. and profess
sional women who have become in
terested in the sweatshop phase of
the labor question, although many
prominent men are also members
At the Providence convention Prof.
John Graham Brooks of Cam
bridge, well known as an author
and lecturer. was elected national
president, and Florence Kelley of
New York, general secretary.
1t is the custom of the league to
arrange white lists in the prin-
cipal cities containing the names of
firms which handle women's cloth
ing bearing the leagues label
These labels are furnished to such
concerns only that have no deal
ings with sweatshops.
During the present year a COM
mittee will make a careful investi-
cation of the piece work system in
the manufacture of womens under
garments and devise plans to es-
tablish wage boards for the pir-
pose of participating in the adjust
ment of working conditions and the
solution of other problems that
arise between employers and en-
ployes. In other words, the league,
representing the purchasing public,
intends to have something to say
regarding labor questions.
The league also intends to de-
mand that the states enact laws
prohibiting manufacturers, jobbers,
merchants, contractors, etc, from
sending goods into tenements for
any process of manufacture what
soever in the hope of smashing the
sweating evil. All T

her brother, Leslie, charged with
