OF the Antisaloon league.
The efforts of the local representa-

have been directed towards concealing
the hands OF the brewers in this move

will not be able to deceive the people

THE VETS AND THE LADY

Several pretty girls rode astridc up
ON their horses in the parade of the
confederate veterans at Little Rock
during the recent reunion. few
days later, after all of the old veter-
ans and the pretty girls had departed
for their nomes. the biyouac of vet

adopted this resolution
That no woman shall appear in the
parades of the camps, the state di'
visions or the general association,
astraddle and should any so appear
the officers in charge Of said parade
shall politely request that they re-
tire"
1t Is not very difficult to see the
motives that prompted such resola-
ton from the old soldiers. That the
sight of these girls riding astride in
the solemn parade shocked them is
easy 10 believe. 1t Jared the south

OUR SOCIAL DEMOCRACY.

President Tafts rebuke Of Colonel
Gairard, who objected to the promo
ton OF Private Bloom because of his
Jewish ancestry and alleged lack OF
social standing, simply calls attention
10 the fact that we have been tray
cling away from the spirit Of our in
sututions in matters social much fast
er than in matters political. This
Garrard incident and that other incl
dent at Annapolis when young snoh
objected to a young lady's presence dt
one Of the hops because sne was en-
ployed as a goyerness are the outward
manifestations of a tendency of the
times That tendency for years has
been toward class distinctions and
social barr.rs after the manner of our
English cousins.
And the proof of this is to DE seen
on all sides. A striking illustration
occurred less than month ago in
President Tafts own official and So
cial circle. TO be exact, 10 was May
~ and the day was 50 warm that the
pedestrians feet almost stuck to the
asphalt pavement. Mrs. John Hays
hammond, wife of our speciIa ambas-
sador to the coronation, close friend of
the Taft family, thought it would be
nice to send ice cream to 1895 swell
terng young women at work in the
Census Bureau.
When the teams backed up to the
building with the cooling stuff, the
census girls gave three cheers for the
rich woman who had remembered
them, didn't they? No, not exactly.
They made "A loud noise, but no one
confounded it with cheering. They re-
fused the donation with emphatic in
dignation and their spokeswoman
said;
1T is ridiculous for a rich woman
to send ice cream to us, who are earn
ing from $500 to'$l,SOO a year. 1t is
on par with the wife OF "A former
Presidential candidate who said we
ought to wear uniforms to distinguish
rs from ladies'. we won't stand for
such nonsense. We can buy our own
ice cream. Though We work for a
living, many of us come from better
families than some of these new-rich
people"
Are you ashamed of these census
girls or are you proud of them? It
was pretty rough on Mrs. Hammond,
who was moved by the instanct of pit
ty, and yet no thoughtful American
will fail to understand why the ice
cream was rejected, nor fail to ap-
plaud the Young women of the Census
Bureau.
They sounded one of the deep So
cial notes of the time. The people
who work for living in America will
not acknowledge their iuferority to
rich social kdOetyJ, ken HywfMTHH
rich society women who base their
claim to higher social rank on the
number of dollars they can command.
