vice commissions making surveys of
the social evil have found the same
thing to be true
There are SO many very important
planks in the Progressive party plat
form that it is impossible to place
ones finger on any particular plank
and say, This is the most important"
but surely there is no plank of greater
social import and more worthy of the
support of every respectable citizen
than this one which insists that girls
and women thrown upon their own re-
sources in the industrial world should
be guaranteed living wage, a wage
that would make it unnecessary for
them to sell their virtue in order to get
for themselves the food, clothing and
shelter that aHe the necessities of life.
What is there about such a pledge
that should appeal to such man as
Candidate Wilson as being impractical
and foolish?
What is there about anything per-

Wages of Working Women

Candidate Wilson, in his Labor Day
speech at Buffalo, poked fun at that
plank of the Progressive party plat
form which reads:
We pledge ourselves to work I'M
ceasingly in state and nation for
minimum wage standards for
working women, to provide living
wage in all industrial occupations. i
That plank of the Progressive party
platform was not written by politi-
clans; neither by schoolmasters. 1t
was written by men and women who
have spent their lives working among
the submerged tenth, who know life
as the other half lives 1t. These social
workers have been face to face with
the misery and suffering and sins of
the multitude, not to satisfy curios-
ity, but to find the cause and find a
cure.
Answering Candidate Wilson's AGA
demic criticism Of this plank, Theo-
dore Roosevelt, in his Seattle speech,
said:
Now, Mr.. Wilson has in gen.
eral terms praised our plat
thing he has noticed has been
this. and he came out very strongly
against this minimum wage PROPOSE
ton on the ground that if we establish
q minimum wage, employers would
reduce all of their employees to that
minimum wage.
Now, think that is an objection Of
the schoolroom, an academic objec-
ton, and do not think that any man
who has actually studied the condi-
tions of life among the working girls,
the working women, in great cities,
who, for instance. has attended in
New York city the Jefferson market
night court for women do not think
that any man will be influenced by
such an objection,
/ do not know any more fruitful
source of misery in our whole NUM-
cipal life than the giving to women of
starvation wages-wages such that
the girls. the women, cannot keep
body and soul together under decent
conditions. 1t means starvation. 1t
means crime, immortality; it means un-
told suffering, and when people say
that we are not trying to prevent such
actual suffering and misery because
maybe some difficulty would come in
the future through doing it, all l can
answer Is that l do not believe any
such difficulty would arise; but in any
event, l would rather have, l would
rather suffer the dangers that we do
not know of than supinely acquiesce
in the hideous misery that we do know
Of
Tuesday, in his testimony before the
aldermanic investigation of police af
fairs Of New York city. Mayor Gaynol
was asked why he had not stopped the
social evil in New York, and he replied
tho social evil could not be stopped by
law or police laws, but by educating
our merchants and employers to pay
young girls and women living wages
rather than by arresting those under
paid souls who have sold their virtue.
The report of the Chicago vice com
mission, composed of the most emf
nent people of that city, representing
all creeds, all political Affiliations and
all kinds Of business, sets forth the
low wages paid to working girls ant
women as one of the greatest contrib
utory causes of the social evil Othel

You can't stop his grinding, but you
can prevent him grinding it at your
expense.
There is one sure. swift way to do it.
Go where you can get what you ask
for.
You won't be obliged to do this very
often, as fortunately the majority of
druggists are honest and conscienti-
Gus.
Newbros Herpicide has been so
long and favorably known as the orr
ginaI dandruff germ destroyer that
no one should be deceived.
When you need a hair remedy, you
don't want one which merely promises
to kill the dandruff germ and prevent
the hair from falling.
You want one that will do it.
Herpicide does it.
The hair becomes soft and lustrous.
There Is life, snap and beauty where
| formerly the hair was dead, dull and
brittle.
Newbro's Herpicide in SOC and 81 90
sizes is sold by all dealers who guar
antee it to do all that is claimed. II
you are not satisfied your money will
be refunded.

Health Officials Aim to Destroy
Flies Breeding Places.
CITIZENS AID REQUESTED
Al Complaints as to Rubbish Will
Be Promptly Investigated.
OTHER CITIES ARE INTERESTED
Many Requests for Information
About Campaign Received From
Outside Sources.

The biggest crusade probably ever I'm
dertaken by a municipal government for
wiping out the breeding places of flies is
to be conducted by the District health Of
flee in conjunction with The Stars Sec
ond anti-1y campaign, which began yes
terday.
The department. it was announced to-
day, invites from citizens of the District
reports concerning the locations Of
breeding places of insects which may
come to their attention.
AS fast as the reports are received
they will be investigated and steps
taken to correct them. This plan was
followed when the cleanup campaign
was on. the committee of citizens and
the health officials directing that crusade
investigating all complaints received
concerning the locations of rubbish
which it was desired to have removed.
Officials Will Watch Scores.
Not only will the department investi-
gate reports received, but 1t will watch
the scores of the contestants in The
Stars campaign with a view to COM
mencing Investigations to ascertain why
more flies are destroyed in some sections
of the city than in others. The health
officials believe that the cause is to be
found in conditions which are particular
ly favorable TO the development Of the
fly. and they mean to correct these con-
ditions as far as ii is within their power
so to do.
As was expected. on account of the fact
that but few flies have appeared this
spring, the first days showing of the con-
testants was not a large one. A large
number of children called at the District
building during the day to obtain boxes
in which to deliver the bodies of the flies
they kill, while still others this morning
made similar requests. DIR. Murray,
supervisor of the campaign. is en-
thusiastic over the prospect and believes
that when warmer weather has brought
out more flies the number of the insects
slaughtered will be enormous.
Other Cities interested.
The hours for the delivery of the flies
al the campaign headquarters, in room
s of the District building, are from 3
to pm. Dr. Murray again will be on
hand this afternoon to check up the
showing of the contestants. 1t is prob
able that the first scores will not be pub
liShed until the latter part of the week
Requests for information about the
campaign have been received by DIR. Muir
ray from the public library of Superior,
Wis; the Y. NJ. c. A. of Charles City,
Iowa, and the Commerce Club of Toledo,
Ohio
Great interest in the campaign is being
taken by other cities, according to DIR.
Murray, and it is likely that several of
them will undertake similar crusades.

DUKES TRlUMPHS ARE RETOLD
GETS DUE CREDIT--SOMETIMES

Not all the eastern sporting comment
goes awry on the subject of tour
Duke, as can be seen from the follow
ing New York correspondence to the
Christian Science Monitor:
'fWith the closing of the national
aquatic indoor championships the data
upon which the Olympic committee ex-
poets to base its selection of candidates
for the water events at Stockholm has
been brought to completion, and it
forms such strong evidence in favor of
several men, that one cannot go very
far wrong in anticipating the verdict
of the official solicitors.
fTake for instance the Honolulu
Splinter, Duke Kahanamoku, who is bet
ter entitled to wear the stars and
stripes in the international 100.meter
free style swimf He came among us
quite ignorant of the methods that
spell success in indoor racing. He had
never competed before in small pools,
he lost time over the turns instead of
gaining by them, he was unused to
fresh water and he started so poorly
that his opponents had yards on him be-
fore he fell into his stroke. But in
spite of these heavy handicaps he took
the measure of every good sprinter in
the land, he captured national honors
and he invariably covered the century
in the neighborhood of 81 seconds. Even
the most skeptic are now convinced that
the world % record of 55 2.5 seconds
credited to him is well within his
powers and all believe that over the
straightaway course OF Stockholm he
will show his heels to the speediest for
eign representatives.
Equally sure of being nominated
are Harry Hebner of the Illinois A. G.
and Michael McDermott of the Chicago
A. C. Hebner showed head and shout
ders above his nearest rival in the back

he created a wonderful record of I'm.

FINE SHOOTING by
GUNNERS At GRANOE

MANILA, March 9.-The twenty
third company of coast artillery, up-
der command of Captain Bryant, made
another world g record in the target
practice recently held at Grande Island
In the first trial six hits were scored
out of six shots with a ten inch gun at
target sixty feet long and thirty feet
high that was towed across the range
of fire 1900 yards away or about four
and one third miles.
The practice on the second day re-
suited in only five hits but the time
was considerably lessened although the
range was about 1000 yards shorter.
The time consumed in making the six
perfect scores on the first day was
three minutes and thirteen seconds, tho
second day the time was reduced to
two minutes and forty-four seconds. In
their anxiety to cut down the time the
second day the men missed the last shot
by few yards.
When it is considered that projectiles
weighing 600 pounds were hurled
through space over four miles at an
almost invisible target with the result
of an almost perfect score, something
of the difficulty of the task and the
proficiency of the men can be Imagined.

cept the record made as final. After
