VICE COMMISSION REC
ONIMENDS MANY PROGRESS
SINE REFORMS.

The Chicago Vice Commission, the
first salaried municipal commission
OF its kind, made many radical re-
concentrations in its report to the
common council several nights ago
and gave an exhaustive review of the
present status of the social evil in
Chicago, its past, its causes and
means of suppressing it. The re-
concentrations were directly against
the European principle of segrega-
ton. They are:
Constant and persistent repression
of the social evil as an immediate
method, with absolute annihilation
as to the ultimate ideal. This, by
means of:
First, the appointment of a morals
commission:
Second, the establishment of a
morals court.
In summing up present conditions,
the report says:
Most of the police are honest; one
standard of morality in Chicago ap-
plauds dances by nearly naked wom-
en- in the name of art and condemns
dances no worse before less prosper
Gus audiences; men not women, are
the ones highest up" in the business
administration of the social evil:
hotels which "ask no questions of
their patrons are great contributing
means to wrecked girlhood; prejudice
against colored girls drives them
into the social evil centers either as
servants or inmates; the white slave
traffic" is not organized.
Contributing causes are named as
follows:
Want of the necessities of life,
craving for simple luXuries, ignor-
ance, broken promises, deceit of men
most of all poverty. Lack of protec-
tion to immigrant girls aids the evil
says the report, and lake steamers
with no regulations are fruitful
sources of victims. Lack of proper
pay for working girls is assailed at
great length in bitter terms and is
called the chief reasons why young
girls fail to resist temptations plac-
ed in their path. The causes are
summed up thus: Lack of ethical and
religious teaching; economic stress
on underpaid workers; large number
of seasonal trades for women, leav-
ing periods of the year with no en-
ployment; abnormality; unhappy
home conditions; careless and ignor-
ant parents; broken promises; love
of ease and luxury; craving for ex-
cltement and changes; ignorance of
hygiene.
Among the recommendation, be-
sides the moral court and commits
sion, are these:
Instruction of children twelve to
sixteen years old in sex hygiene by
personal attention of parents; ply
sicial examination of applicants for
marriage licenses; better pay for
girls; abolishment of the finding sys-
tenn against known members of the
vice district; an intelligent and am
pie adult probation system; home for
old Offenders; an appeal to the
chivalry of man; regulation of lake
boats; investigation and supervision
of employment agencies; laws calling
centers of the evil public nuisances,
against allowing messenger boys to
go into vice districts, the state to
take the place of parent to illegiti-
mate children; comfort stations in

The Menu Card In Its First Form.

The Menu Card In Its First Form.
In its old fashioned form the menu
was usually written large on cards Of
such imposing dimensions that room
for one only could be found at each
end of the board. In the medieval
dinner this aid to selection must have
been an absolute necessity. for the
medieval dinner was a mine of sur
prises. 1t was divided into courses as
are our own dainty meals; but, whereas
nowadays the diner has general idea
that fish will follow soup and that en-
tree is succeeded by relieve and can
conceive generally the sort of demand
that each course will make upon his
appetite and digestion, there was no
possible arguing as to what was going
to happen at an early English dinner
and close study fails to reveal the ex-
istence of any principle of arrange
ment

DOING BUSINESS UN-
DER DIFFICULTIES.

At the time the Enterprise
scribe erected the brick block as
a successor to the famed tar
paper shack some three and one
ilalf years ago he thought he had
builded for all time. But the
continued and pleasing growth of
our business confronted us with
the necessity of providing more
room, and we are this week doing
business under dificulties-meet-
ing carpenter, brick-layer, a
lather or a roofer at every turn in
our work room. The addition
will give us needed room for ad-
ditional equipment to care for the
needs and demands of our pat.
rons and for the prospective ex-
pansion of business, which we
trust may continue to grow with
the city.
The addition will also provide
a work room, needed, to P. Savo
lainen, the genial jeweler who oc
cupies the east room Of the En-
terprise block, and whose bust
ness has ever shown a pleasing
advance.

SCHUBERT CONCERT q. =.
GREATLY ENJOYED
Delight a Large Audience at the
Fay Under the Auspices of
the Local Lodge of Elks..

The concert by the Schubert
Symphony and Lady Quartette,
rendered at the Fay Opera Wed
nesday evening under the .au-
spices Of Virginia Lodge No. 1908,
B. p. 0. E., was most delightful
entertainment and was fully en-
joyed by an audienc that taxed
the seating capacity of the hall.
The numbers by the Lady Quar-
tette were perhaps the most en-
joyed, resulting in frequent re-
sponses to encores, while the read
ings by Miss Pearl Wetherington
and The contralto and soprano
solos by Miss LOWE Zendt Pur-
cell and Miss Leeta Corder also
awoke a responsive chord with
their hearers, either having
charming voices and perfect
range.
The violin solos BY Thomas
Valentine Purcell also elicted the
appreciation Of his audience, his
excellent execution, being both
infatuating and enthusing.
The numbers by the company
were followed by a vaudeville
sketch by artists from the Grand,
and dancing party concluded
the evenings enjoyment.

scter may be enjoyed by our peo-
olee much oftener than in past.

.k|MBAlL REELECTED BY
LlReE MAJORITY
Recall of Fourth Ward Alder.
man Shows Him e. Strong
Candidate With His Con
stituency, Despite Peti-
tion For His Removal

The recall election in the
Fourth Ward on Tuesday, held
upon petition Of a large number
of voters Of the ward for the
custer of Alderman Kimball, fail
ed of its purpose Alderman Kim
ball being again chosen by a ma
jority which outstripped the
prophesies of his. closest friends.
The total registration in the
ward was 229, and the fact that
the vote on Tuesday showed 213
out of this possible number in
attendance is evidence that the
candidates saw to it that "the
vote got OUT while autos as
sisted some who were too weary
or too little interested to. get to
the polls otherwise.
The vote as counted showed a
clean majority .Sof 80 for Mr..
Kimball's reelection, the total
vote being 1872 for his retention
as against 80 for Mr.. A. N.
Thompson, his opponent in the
race, while one voter found lit
tie to admire in either and voted
Il blank. !
The declarationz:. of the result
was followed by a torchlight
parade, headed *sby Alderman
.\imball and the band, Alderman
himball voicing his qualification
at the result which he consider
I'd a vindication pf his honesty
Ind integrity. {
The contest was the first un-
ler the recall provisions of the
Virginia home-ruh charter, and
was based directly upon muni-
cipal ownership Of the light and
water conveniences. It has been
voiced at times that the contest
in the Fourth was but a beginning
though but little zauthoritive in
formation is obtainable as yet
However, it is useless to deny
that this questionswill be d live
one in future elecfon. contests ir
the city, with the probable sultis
mate result souxfs by members
of the ProgressivessLeague, uns
der whose auspices the initial
fight for such condition has been
inaugurated.

DROVE STAGE COACH. Death of George kenney, Former Rep. resentative from Litchfield.

George Kenney of Litchfield died early Saturday morning after an ill., ness of several months. When a young man he drove the famous Litchfield- East Litchfield stage coaci, for many years. the latter part of his driving of that noted vehicle being as owner. He went to New Haven in 1874, but remained there only one year, returning to Litchfield and buy ing a trucking business with a side line of feed and coal. This he opera ted for a number of years, later selling out to William P. Marsh. He was tax collector for several years and also represented Litchfield in the state leg islature. He was vice president of the national bank in Litchfield, was a member of the Congregational church and prominent in it's activities when health permitted. He is survived by his wife and two daughters, Mrs Samuel Camp and Miss Clara B. Ken ney The funeral was held Monday afternoon at the home, and Rev.

May Help the Parcels Post.

The postal savings system, as it Is proposed to develop it throughout the country, will be a rather expensive ad- junct of the postal service and may be expected to add materially to the an- nual deficit It is estimated that the S10O, 900 already appropriated for this object will be barely sufficient to main tain the 4S offices now in operation and more funds will have to be forthcoming if others are added. However, it is unlikely that there will be an expan- sion of the system until the results of the experiment have been definitely learned. When the department is in a position to judge better as to the amount of business postal banks will do, what the running expenses will be and how far short of self sustaining such a system will come. the officials will be enabled to take their bearings and state the case to congress in rather definite terms. At per cent. interest the postal savings system cannot be expected to become a moneymaker, but other expedients are possible in the way of avoiding huge increase in the defiict. Unlike postal banks, a parcels post would undoubtedly become highly profitable to the government while at the same time offering a large saving for the public.-Springfeld (Mass. ) Union

A New Factor in Business.

In calculating the causes of the present drop in food prices, the mod est raiser of chickens here in New England, and doubtless in every other section of the country, must be taken into account. It is, perhaps, a, fact that never before, within a like period have as many individuals embarked in the poultry business as during the last year or two. The high price of chick ems and eggs has suggested to them the feasibility of producing these con- modities for themselves and their neighbors, and the result probably is that there are far more persons en- gagged in the industry in the United States than at any previous time The poultry journals are many and pros porous: they are full of tempting ad- vertisements of this or that system of poultry upbringings Poultry de- partments appear periodically in many of the daily and weekly papers of the country: and the consequence of all this publicity is that the cold stora ge people have had to compete with a new and powerful commercial factor Providence Journal.

rhe Wilson.smith controversy.

In his controversy with James Smith, Jr, Woodrow Wilson has not suffered in personal character. In that particu- lar he is entirely above MT. Smith reach. The public does not believe, and cannot be brought to believe, that he would falsify or play the hypocrite. So high 8 place as he occupies and has held so long could not have been won by shifty and interruptions man.
 But MT. Wilson has suffered in his political fortunes. That is to say, he appears to have been easily misled about a man and a matter calling for prompt and correct judgment. In political leader judgment of men Is all important. He is called upon to work with and through many lieutenants, and it is everything to him and his pol icies that they be well chosen. If i'll chosen, they are almost certain to wreck him, for the master is responsi- ble for the man.
 Mr Wilson knew MT. Smith-evi- dently was familiar with the latter's record in the senate and did not regard him as worthy to be returned to that body He was so earnest on the point that. suspecting MT. Smiths ambition, he instituted inquiries and was Quieted by assurances that MT. Smith would not try to come back
 MT. Wilson was too easily Quleted. He should have applied his knowledge of MT. Smith little more severely have carried it to it's logical conclu- sion. But, anxious for office himself, he joined hands with MT. Smith, &C., cepted his support and profted by it, and now is under charges of dupliclty and inera atitude-Was shington Star.

Sounds Like Stuff and Nonsense.

To many of those whose recollec-
 ton runs back two or three months to that Faneuil hall convention, much of the Foss talk about the free and un-
 trammelied rule of the dear people without the interference of any boss or machine will sound like stuff and nonsense. Physician heal myself! If ever a convention was boss dominated. it was that one. And To, here comes it's nominee in the livery of heaven. preaching sainthood! It is further doubtful that much stock will be talk en in the recomm endation that here after the state should provide free halls, free omnibuses to the polls, and certain other election concomitanfs, ,in- stead of having the costs borne, as now by the candidates and party con- tributories. Mr. F'oss probably has in mind that $37,O0O that he himself sent in pursuit of this latest plaything. It was too much to spend, of course and the funny part of 1t is that MT. Foss would have been elected just the same if he hadn't spent dollar. For an astute business man, prating much about the science of economy, this lav-
 ish waste of money was most extra : ordinary. That it was suent in legiu- mate ways is probably doubted by no one. Governor Draper spent nearly as much. But the fact remains that it was altogether an outrageous thing, slbversive of the public interest, con- ducing to the principle that none but the rich may aspire; unless, being poor, some an consents to bear the yoke of capitalistic sponsors. Hence Mir. Foss argues that the state ought to do away with all this lavish spend- ing-by doing the spending iself. That it is a practicable scheme we doubt very much.-Lowe1 Courier Citizen,
