Articles like that are insults to
every woman and girl who is an
honest bread-winner.
1t is because of sentiments like
these, expressed in press and speech
that the: rank and file Of the Socialist
stands more for discomfort, envy and
anarchy, than it does for advance
ment, social betterment or improve
ment of existent conditions.
Are there no honest riches? Be-
cause a man has been successful
does it mean he has always been dis
honest?
The girl who worked in store at
81 per week and whose nights were
spent in debauchery that she might
get fine clothes and furs-was fig
ment of the reporters brain.
That stripe of girl wouldn't
trouble to work in store, nor at
any other calling that Melted her
only SO per week. She knows the
way to the roads that lead to the
fuffery and finery she longs for
and she goes there.
And now-What OF the girl?
Are we to believe that every we'll
dressed woman is, unconsciously,
acting as a lure to drag girls from
decency and virtue?
Are we to believe that, given the
knowledge of the result which is
bound to follow, girls are to DELHI
erateIy choose the paths along the
great white ways, forced by moth
ing more pressing than the need OF
furs and velvet dresses?
fig for such argument.
There are girls and girls; you
might place one of them on the
coast of Malay, and she would
barter her virtue for the first
string of glass beads she saw-and
not another woman within miles
would be wearing glass beads.
You might take another girl, dress
her in homespun and place her in
the midst of Fifth Avenue at the
height of the dress parade on Eas-
ter, and she will not feel hntter
of envy, nor depart one jot from
''the straight and narrow path" for
the sake of any of the dress she
might see.
BY intoxicating the idea in young
people that each is entitled to the
possessions that represent money
and only that-we are going to have
a very worthless, useless and I'M
moral set of young people.
If our friends, the Socialists, will
start an educational crusade which
will teach the young people the true
worth of the things that count
there won't be any need for such
"weepy'' tales as the one we have
quoted
If our friends, the Socialists,
could and would take the male par
ent Of this shallow-pated shop-girl,
teach him the value Of the soil, take
him from the artificial life of the
slum of the city, he may develop
enough moral sense to know how to
train his daughters and his sons.
It's sorry spendthrift who thinks
to economic on his Christmas CIV
ing.

like to swap an automobile for Santa

1t is a hard matter for some of
us to reconcile ourselves to the argu-
ment which the Socialist uses as his
main weapon, that of everybody hav-
ing the right to what so many have.
Much harm is done by following
a false line of argument, and the fol
lowing extract from Socialist paper
will express the idea better.
Under the heading of: Cover
dressed Girl Result of Evil Social
SYSTEM the following story was
given in Socialist paper:
''Attired in expensive furs, big
picture hat, velvet gown and laces,
a pretty girl appeared in juvenile
court Wednesday to testify to the
conduct of her brother who had fall
len into the hands of the police for
some violations of the city ordinan-
ces. Although there were several
representatives of interfering socie-
ties present to help the ignorant
working classes, none of these veal
thy women were gowned as expen-
siyely as this girl.
During the progress of the case
against her brother she sat near
him, gazing haughtily about the
small court room. The powder and
paint On her face did not hide the
lines of dissipation and late hours
which appeared strange on the face
of a girl who was little over II
years of age.
after she left the court room
with regal stride a probation officer
confided in a reporter that this girl
earned but So week in depart
ment store.
There is a product of our modern
civilization, he explained. This
girl lives at home in the midst of
squalor and filth. Her parents have
been the victims of a capitalist sys-
tenn which has kept the husband and
father out of work half the time
and when he does get job it is at
meager wage on which he is un-
able to support the family. The
mother has been forced to work at
scrubbing in Office buildings to help
take care of the family and she has
had no time to bring up her children
properly. AS soon as the children
were old enough to earn few dol
lars they were sent to shop and fac
tory. They never earned more than
SO a week each and the younger
children were fortunate if they were
able to earn $3.50 q week.
''This girl with the beautiful
gown and furs has been earning So
a week in department store. SIZE
has seen the wealthy women from
Prospect avenue and the boulevards
parading the streets in their expen-
Bive gowns. A longing for something
pretty caused her to abandon the
straight and narrow path. She met
another girl in the store who had
expensive clothes, yet earned but a
few dollars each week.
Where do you get all those
clothes?' this girl asked.
"'Come with me tonight and
will show you,' the companion re-
piled.
"This girl went in search of the
beautiful gowns and silks and satins.
She has found them, but she is near
the end, for the lines Of dissipation
are already marring her pretty face.
Soon the paint and powder will no
longer hide the pallor Of her bag
gard face and she will meet an end
like many others who are brought
to the morgue from the river and
houses of shame.

STREET CARS HIT AUTO
The Accident Occurred On South Front
Street; Machine Was Driven Out
of Garage.

e. L. Davis, land man who is
employed by Merchant & Atchison,
had narrow escape from serious in
jury while in his auto. AS he was
driving out of PERKINS, garage, South
Front street, a street car hit his
automobile and all but turned it over.
He came out of the garage and
started diagonally across the tracks,
east, up Front street and the car
came up behind and after striking
the rear end of the car and tearing
off the tire, swung the machine
around and pushed it sidewise along
the paving before the street car
could be stopped. After the hind
tire had been torn off the car re-
fused to slide and had the street car
not stopped at just that instant the
auto would undoubtedly have turned
turtle. The tenders on the car were
bent up quite badly, the horn utterly
ruined and the left hind tire torn
badly
Mr.. Davis was not badly injured as
the heavy coat he wore kept him
wedged in the seat and he was not
thrown out His back was twisted
and he says ne feels the effects OF
the jar yet, but otherwise he is not
harmed.

ductor. They claim the accident was

LITIGATION of the voter, would entitle
him to vote.
Against this plan of permitting
electors to vote on election day
wherever they happen to be is quot
ed section 1, article z, of the Consti
tuition of Minnesota, as follows: =
Every male person of twenty-one
years or upwards, belonging to either
of the following classes, who has re
sided in this state for six months
next preceding any election shall be
entitled to vote at such election in
the election district in which he shall
at the time have been for thirtJ
days a resident, for allofficers which
are now or may be- hereafter cleo
tive by the people, 2.
His right to vote, it is pointed out
is limited to the district of which
he has BEEN resident for thirty
days.
Corporation Attorney O'Neill said
that he, thought there was no doubt
at all but chapter 300 is unconstitu
tional. He said that the Legislature
might, however, have prescribed tha
the voter send his vote by mail tt
his own election district, and thai
probably would have been within
the constitution.

AN INTERVIEW WITH HIS WIFE
She Denies Knowing Anything of Her
Husbands Whereabouts; State
ment of General Agent.
From Wednesdays Daily.

Interest in the mysterious disap-
pearance of George Kimble, the
piano man, has not abated. In an
interview this morning L. A. Tics.
void of Minneapolis, general agent
for the Kimball Piano company, he
said that although the business of
Mr. Kimble was in bad shape, ho
still trusted Mr.. Kimble implicitly.
Mr.. Tjosvold was of the opinion
that, contrary to the reports which
have been circulated, Mr.. Kimble
was mentally irresponsible for what
he had done. 81 do not know yet
he said, "just what the extent OF
Mr. Kimble's liabilities are. and
do not think that he knew when be
went away. They are more than
we expected, but just how much we
have not yet been able to find out.
| have implicit faith in Mr.. Kimble,
as l have known him for a long
time l furnished the money to
start him in business here and I do
not think he would do anything dis
honest"
kimbaII Company Loser.
H. D. Cammack of Chicago, also
general agent, said that the Kimball
Piano company is the only creditor
that stands to lose anything. Accord
ing to Mr.. Cammack, it seems that
money has been deposited to cover
what Mr.. Kimble owes to other
creditors, but all that is left for the
company is the stock George Kimble
had branch stocks at Madelia and
Winnebago and Mr.. Cammack and
Mr. Tjosvold are here to get all the
stock together and dispose of it in
order to cover the company's loss.
Mr.. Cammack says that the CON-
pany has been consigning goods to
the Mankato house since June and
that no payments have been made
since that time. The company in
Chicago has been very :lenient and
has agreed to let these bills run un-
till fall. consequently my people
are now at a great deal of expense
in making collections"
Mrs. Kimbie Denies Runners.
In an interview with Mrs. Kinbie
this morning, she stated to The
Free Press that she certainly did
not think that her husband had gone
away Intentionally Certainly not
she declared. Eyes, 1 know; rll-
mors have come to me that 7 know
where he is, but they are all false.
My conscience is entirely clear
do not feel guilty in the least de-
gree and l know Mr.. Kimble has
done nothing wrong. I know his
business was not in the best coudi-
ton. but l do not think that he
knew how bad it was. Mr.. Tjosyold
tells me that this trouble could all
have been Strengthened out if Mr..
Kimble had not gone away"
George Kimble disappeared mys-
teriously several weeks ago He was
last seen aboard an Omaha train EN-
tering Minneapolis He purchased a
ticket from Mankato to Belle PIaine,
having informed Mrs Kimble that
he was going to that city to trans
act some business When the train
pulled out of Belle PLANE Mr.. Kin-
bic was still aboard the train and
paid his fare from that point to the
cities. Since then, so far as The
Free Press has been able to learn,
no one has obtained clue to his
whereabouts.
