Domestic Work and Matrimonv

Miss Jane Adams OF the Chicago
Hull house, an authority on the girl
and woman question in its relation to
domestic life, says one reason why it
is so dificult to supply the demand
for domestic servants is that most
girls who work for wages prefer the
shops or factories chiefly because they
offer better matrimonial advantages.
Miss Adams theory very nearly elm
mates the American girl from all con-
sideration and holds that we have to
depend largely upon girls from Euro
pean countries for homework. Then
she points out that most of our immi-
grants are now coming from Greece,
Italy and Jewish countries, which is a
matter of record. The Jewish girl
prefers her own family and her own
home to any other and is out of the
question at once Tradition forbids
the Greek woman to take up with this
kind of employment and the Italian
maiden marries at Is or 16 and is,
class at IS. SO, while the Italian girl,
as well as the Greek, works out, she
prefers to go to the factory or shop,
where she will not only find her own
people with whom to mingle, but will
find opportunity for marriage, from
which she believes she is shut off in
the sphere of domestic service. Were
the most of our alien young women
coming from Sweden, Ireland and Ger
many, this problem might be more
readily solved, Miss Adams thinks,
for they are more of a domestic turn.
What aid does this offer those who
are wrestling with the servant prob
lem? Not any, unless 1t be the sug-
gestion of settlement workers, of
whom Miss Adams is the head, doing
all they can to influence girls and
young women to take up homework
instead of the factory. 1t is generally
more remunerative in the end and GER
tainly shields a girl from the world
and the rougher conditions of life.
And many a householder is able to
testify that, whether the chances of
matrimony are as good in the kitchen
as the factory, they are certainly
fairly good. Cupid is not overlook
ing the kitchen by any means. In
fact, he seems to find it more easily
than a great many people wish he
would.

Moving Picture shows.

OMAHA, Feb. 6.-To the Editor Of The
Bee: In regard to a movement Of con-
siderable proportions which is being made
against the alleged faults of motion picture
theaters and which proposes to regulate
and correct these attractions, I would like
to suggest a word on the side Of the theater
exhibitors. First l wish to say on behalf
of the exhibitors that they are absolutely
ready to accept any fair attempt to improve
their attractions and invite with the heart
lest friendliness all such steps toward that
end which are not made unfairly.
1t has been reported in your paper that
the Tri-City Baraca union in holding meet
ings and agitatlng generally against what
1t describes as the harmful influence of the
scent theaters. The union is making
earnest efforts to have an ordinance re-
quiring censorship of the motion picture
films established in Omaha. For the in
formation Of the Bsraca union permit me
to say that the exhibitors are glad such
efforts are being made. BY all means let
there be a censorship of the motion pictures
which our sons and daughters are wit
Messing.
have talked with nearly all the men en-
gagged in the scent theater business I'm
Omaha, and I am expressing their views
when l say that a regulation of the bust
ness so far as It relates to the influence on
young boys and girls and persons who re-
ceive good or bad influence from the en-
tertainments they witness would be good
must add, however. that we who are
making this sort of entertainment our bust
ness are anxious to be treated fairly and to
that end, desire that the censorship shall
be conducted along common-sense lines.
We only ask that the proposed censorship
be placed in the hands OF eminent business
men, persons who are not only equipped
with sense OF good taste, but who possess
an understanding OF good and bad taste
without being antagonistic toward every
thing outside the fold of strict churchill
ness An ordinary business man is such a
person
In closing let me say for the benefit OF
the Baraca union that all films received In
Omaha for exhibition already have been
censored and passed upon in the larger
cities. l hope the Baraca union has not
interpreted great dramatic stories to be
found in the picture theaters, as the evil
Influence they speak Of. | daresay there
Is not a single exhibition OF films to be dis
covered in the city today or for the next
year after a searching inspection which
would strike any we'll balanced critic as
being improper.
But establish censorship. Get business
men into the work Of judgment and we viii
all Of us receive them gladly. Yours re-
speotfully c. l.. RAMsDELL, Manager

Shoe Prices High Enough.

AS a result of a fight between the
tanners combine and the big shoe
manufacturers, the ultimate CON
sumner" may have to pay little more
for his footwear. And as most people
in this country wear shoes, particu-
larly at this season OF the year, this
would be quite a widespread imposi-
ton. 1t seems the tanners wish to
cut down on the discount given to the
shoemaker, which will mean raising
the price on the latter. The shoe men
threaten to retaliate by resorting to
the Sherman antitrust law and, If
that proves Intellectual, to secure
tariff-free leather.
AS a matter of fact the prices of
shoes ought to incline downward in
stead of upward. The new tariff law
placed hides on the free list and, re-
duced the tariff on all kinds of leather
going into the manufacture Of shoes,
but that did not operate to lower the
price of shoes, so far as anyone has
been able to discover. Under the
Dingley law of 1897 boots and shoes
paid duty of 25 per cent ad valorem
and under the present law, which be-
came effective in August, 1909, this
rate is reduced to 10 per cent. SO it
becomes a matter in which others be-
side the tanners and manufacturers
are interested. 1t is about time that
the trades" arbitrary power in such
cases we're tested. SO far as the con
sumner" is concerned, free hides and
reduced tariff on boots and shoes have
had no direct effect, another striking
object lesson to those who contend
with cOck-sureness that the tariff reg
ulates the cost of living.

Champ Clark and nj, Ghost.

Champ Clark's record on several
important issues threatens to make
trouble for him. First. il was his in
consistency on the changing OF the
house rules that embarrassed the
democratic leader and his party in
the house then It was his vaeillating
attitude on the tariff board PROPOSE
tion and now it is his contradictory
positions on the matter of amending
important measures coming before the
house. In each case the next speaker
appears to serious disadvantage. SEEM
ing to lack well-dehned and tenacious
convictions, quality very much
needed in a presiding officer of the
house Of representatives, which Clark
will be If he lives. or a president
which he aspires to be.
This latest example Of the Mis-
sourians volatility arises in connec-
tion with his party's endorsement in
caucus Of the proposed Canadian
reciprocity treaty. On motion of
Clark, the endorsement was made
unanimous, of course, opposing any
amendment, as an amendment would
invalidate the entire agreement. This
action, of itself might not be subject
to criticism, were IL not for Champ
Clark's defiant utterance in the course
of speech last June, in which he
said:
! do not know how long we shall be
here, but as long as l am here l intend
to fight for the right to amend every sec
ton Of every great bill which comes into
this house and l do not care a straw
whether the democrats control the house
or the republicans.
1t is a matter of speculation just
how much influence the leadership of
Clark is going to have on the next
house. Very naturally these ready
reverses suggest instability, and insta-
bility in a speaker, especially one
working under the conditions that
will characterize Clark's first session,
certainly will not become an asset to
him personally or to his party. Nor
is it probable that he will be any more
fixed in his views and convictions as
speaker than he has been as floor
leader, after so long service in con-
gress. Does the prospect encourage
the democrats?

The New School Buildings.

The Omaha Board of Education has
taken one step in the right direction
in moving toward the construction of
new school buildings provided for un-
der the very liberal grant of money
authorized by the voters of the dis
trict.. The engagement of one archi-
tect for the entire undertaking will
commend itself, in face even of the
attractive proposition of competition
in this work The school board does
not ask competitive bids when it en-
cages a superintendent or a principal,
or teacher, or even a janitor.
The necessity for uniformity in
school buildings is too apparent to re-
quire argument 1t was shown in
Chicago recently that $350,O0O could
be saved on the construction of ten
buildings by merely emitting the use
less and Intellectual ornamentation
that had been added to buildings pre-
viously erected. The lack of ornate
decoration does not initiate against
the efficiency of the building for its
purposes. 1t 10 possible to give the
exterior pleasing appearance and the
interior such decoration as is useful
without the expenditure of considera-
Bile sums on mere oTnamentation. This
experience of Chicago ought to be OF
value to Omaha. The board has also
shown prudence in its request to the
architect that he prepare a set OF
plans which will permit the erection
of buildings in units that may be ad-
ded to from time to time.
One more important point should
be given consideration in connection
with the new buildings. The school
house is coming to be recognized as a
center of social activity. 1t is useful
for purposes other than those of the
classes. In many of the eastern cities
school houses are being also used as
club houses, where the residents of the
vicinity may meet for social purposes;
where political and other gatherings
may be held, and in many ways the
school plant is being made of general
service to the community that pro-
vides and supports it. This phase of
schOol-buildIng possibility must not be
overlooked by the Board of Education,
and its architect in the erectionsof the
proposed buildings
