THE TRAGEDY OF LIVING

The nation stands aghast at the
tragedy Of death when presented
in the turning of l50 girls in a
New York factory fire or some
awful mine disaster. but scarcely
does it give passing attention to
daily recurring tragedies of life.
The other day the body of a girl
was taken from the lake al
Chicago. Fer a week it lay in the
morgue. unknown, and then a
young man called and identified il
as that of his sweetheart. He was
led to the coroner's office by the
publication in the newspapers of
the fact that peculiar ring and a
purse containing three dollars had
been found in the girls clothing.
He had given her the ring, he
explained as pledge of betrothal
and he knew that the amount of
money she had. represented her
weeks salary.
Try to imagine a yourg woman
fighting for existcne in the great
city of Chicago on a miserable
pittance of three dollars a week
daily starving. daily crushing her
desire, and daily killing hone.
Try to picture her life, If you can.
She awakes in the morning from
night of torturing sleep on a
hard pallet that gave no rest to
weary flesh and bones. She
awakes, not to fresh air, sunshine,
flowers and comfortable surround
ings, but to dirt and squslor, to
the half darkness of narrow walls
that barely allow room for the cot
on which she has lain and. perhaps,
an old box and broken chair.
She lights smoky lamp and over
1t warns a cup Of tea. Perhaps
she has some dry bread and this
with the tea constitutes her break
fast.
And her toilet. How pitfully
she exerts herself 10 make her
faded and worn garments appear
presentable and with a glance into
a cracked bit Of mirror tries to
brighten her saddened face.
And next to work. A long
tramp, sometimes through snow,
sometimes through rain. sometimes
through the sitting heat Of sum-
mer, to hard days toll, where for
ten hours she must bend over fine
garments her employer will sell to
the prosperous-over the dainty
laces and ribbons and innumerable
furbelows soidear to every woman's
heart. Ten hours, and she must
drag herselfback" home" to another
scant meal and another night of
tossing and weary sleep.
This. day after day. her struggle
goes on to keep life-just bare life
- in her body and to keep her soul
clean on three dollars a week.
Not even for sickness can she stop.
The fight must go on willie she
suffers an everlasting hunger that
is never satisfied and an everlasting
yearning for something better
that is never appeasnd.
Is not such a tragedy of living
worse than the tragedy Of dying?
People today believe that, in a
general way. they deal justly and
uprightly with one another: bu (
when case like this is brought
home to them will they not think
that there is something radically
wrong with the social and
economic conditions that make for
such misery in life7-Tonopah

The state officers, irrespective Of
party, says the Goldfield Tribune
are talking over a new political
scheme. Under the present law
most of them devote the major
portion of their time to exofficio
duties. Every officer is on some
board. This in turn causes a
hustle for political positions, and
the duties multiply as tho sessions
of the legislature meet. 1t is
proposed that the next legislature
pass law that creates a commission
to take up the exofficio duties.
This would take lot of political
worry off the hands of the present
officers. BY making this elective
the matter could be fought out at
the polls. The scheme sounds good
and it is possible with the agita.
tion that several state officer are
giving IL out that something along
that order will come from the
scheming.
