A Centleman's Duty to Use
His Fists if Necessary to
Protect Our Working Girls

By Rev. DR.. S. E. YOUNG Of Brooklyn
- HE WORKING GIRL IN OUR COUNTRY Is IN THE MOST
DIFFICULT POSITION OF ANY MEMBER OF THE CON-
MUNITY. SHE FIGHTS A CONTINUOUS BATTLE, PHYsI.
cALLY, MENTALLY AND MORALLY, AND IT IS A GEN.
TLEMANs JOB TO HELP HER, AND SOMETIMES A eENrLEMAN's
FISTS ARE THE ONLY PROPER WEAPON.
Almost every one is sufficiently charitable to say, cts too bad
about these girls" But in the next breath most people add, "What
in the world can WE do about it"
There is one thing EVERY MAN who is a man can do for the
young women whose work forces them to travel unchaperoned and
unescorted in our public conveyances. Every gentleman can treat
each of these girls as IF SHE WERE HIS SISTER and be just
as swift to avenge an insult offered her.

BY GEORGE b. MCCLELLAN.
Ex.Msyor of New York

BE high schools of the country are doing MORE to increase
CLASS DISTINCTION in the United States than in
making men and women who are worth while.
The lack of VOCATIONAL TRAINING in the high
schools is responsible for the condition.
THERE IS TOO MUCH CULTURE AND TOO LITTLE OF THE
TRAINING THAT TENDS TO MAKE BOYS AND GIRLS APPRECIATE
THE DIGNITY OF LABOR.
Culture studies r all right, and they should be required in every
high school as an incentive to better things, but vocational training
is just as IMPORTANT. Under present conditions the boys and
girls in high schools are being taught that it is BETTER to have
culture than to know the things that re good in the ordinary walks
of life, such as manual training and domestic science.
THIS IS BUILDING UP CLASS DISTINCTION AND sNoB9,sH
IDEAS.
After a boy has taken a course in manual training I know that
he is not going to look with D1SDA1N upon the blacksmith who
makes an excellent weld or the carpenter who does a good Job Of
joinery. He APPRECIATES the workman's skill.

American People Are
Great Tax Dodgers
- By Governor E. N. FOss of Massachusetts ~
or e. N. FOss Of Massachusetts,

HE AMERICAN PEOPLE MORE THAN OTHERS ARE A MA.
TON OF TAX DODGERS.
1t has been estimated that a BILLION dollars Of tax
able property in Massachusetts escapes taxation. The greater
part of the investments in stocks and bonds and money in banks escape
taxation.
Tax lodging has long been very Commons common that it
is hardly regarded as a SERIOUS OFFENsE. The average man
regards it as wrong to lie deliberately to an assessor about how much
property he possesses, but he does not consider it serious thing to
evade in any other way than perjury his tax obligations.

FLEET TO CRUISE
IN CARIBBEAN SEA
NAVY DEPARTMENT FINALLY
DECIDES TO SEND SHIPS
SOUTH IN WINTER.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-T-he
Navy Department has decided to send
the Atlantic battlesh;p fleet on
winter cruise to tho Caribbean Sea
and to South American waters For
weeks the Bureau OF Operations has
been at work on the itinerary.
AT one time II was planned that
the fleet should start on another
around the world cruise. This was
abandoned as being impractica Bile and
impolitic. There is no occasion for
another semi-political cruise such as
was ordered during the Roosevelt
administration.
Later II was planned TO send the
battleships to Europe. 1t was recall
ed however. that the Germans, the
English and the Danes recently had
entertained American squadrous,
Then plan was proposed that the
cruise be made To the Mediterranean.
The spread Of cholera In Italy put a
Veto on this, and has made IL neces %
sary for the department to decide on
the cruise te the southwark The
fleet VIII start for the Caribbean in
December.
