A Joint committee Of the Chicago
woman's Club, the Woman's City Club
and the Association Of College Alum
nae has reported that the large mum

work, without special training OF any
sort, constitute menace to the pub
lie" inasmuch as many OF them drift
into an immoral lie. Half of them,
III is said, become idle, while those
who are employed are poorly paid and
have but slight chances Of advance
ment With the natural craving of the
young for amusement gayety and fine
clothes they soon lpd temptations to
which many succumb,
The conclusion OF the committee IS
that such girls should be wards OF the
state, There are formidable difficult
ties in the way Of carrying out this
idea. Preventive measures offer more
promise OF success.

Nations Inherent Power


BY a decision OF the Supreme Court
1t is entirely within the province of
Congress to guarantee to each State
a republican form of government. The
tripartite arrangement Of our system
is thus preserved, and States have a
right to rig up any old system they
please as long as Congress permits.
The point of all this is that the
court has shown clearly that political
considerations in the larger sense OF
the term belong to the body which is
elc led by. the people to determine
its destiny. There were those who en-
pected the court would undertake to
reconstruct legislation and overturn
ordinary government by a decision
which would sweep from existence the
Initiative and referendum. The court
has wisely said that these things are
not OF judicial. but Of an executive
and legislative character, and that the
Judges have no action In the premises.
This is going back to democracy as
exploited century ago but it is com.
mon sense. II there is a common

gogic psychology. it should be permit
