there is anything that she should
not have had. she pays for it with
tears, and sorrow. and shame.
The saddest thing on earth is
that when nature gives us tastes
and desires, fate does not always
give us the means to crafty them.
This is the tragedy Of life and es-
pecially it is the tragedy of poverty.
The working girl on a So or $40 or
SIS salary has precisely the same
yearning for pretty clothes, for gay
ETY.. for companionship, as does the
rich y girl with a hundred or two
hundred dollar allowance.
The rich girl has her home. her
social circle where she may meet
young men properly; she has her
mother 10 chaperon her. and so
she may indulge her natural de-
sire for pleasure and for mascu-
line society safely.
The working girl often has no
home but a hall bedroom, no place
to receive men company except in
an overcrowded little fiat or on the
street She has no way to meet
young men, no amusement save
the dance hall or a cheap excur-
sion, no mother. or a mother too
hard worked TO look after her In
these conditions lies her danger.
She Graves diversion after her
duN days work in office or store
and the temptation To take it
without counting the cost is great.

more than formerly.
2. Wages have not increased as
rapidly as the cost of living has in
creased.
Which Will We Do First?
But these statements are also
true:
l. The moving picture shows are
crowded every night.
>. The slot machines are full Of
pennies.
). Saloon keepers are not failing,
4. The tobacco companies are
paying large dividends.
5. The brewery output Of Nev
York city alone is reported to he
siXty-four millions a year. and still
rising.
The first question. then. is this.
Shall we begin to reduce the high
cost of living, or shall we begin to
study THE COST OF HIGH IIv-
ING?
Both these questions are right at
the front door, like hungry wolves.
Winch must be killed first?
1t has been stated repeatedlv--
and probably with truth-that the
automobile craze has mortgaged
more homes, furniture, iewelv.
clothing, furs and the like than
any other form Of extravaganza.
Now, an automobile, on these
n
thousand a year, is no more extrav-
agant than many small forms Of
temptation are to a shop girl on
three dollars and half a week
But we must have some fun
some time.
Certainly. But don't take it out
in trouble.
Undoubtedly. the first wolf to kill
is the one that answers to the name
of the COST OF HIGH LIVING
once that animal is out of the vav
it will be easier to get down to
business, and to see what is in
volved in killing the other-the
high cost of living.
The Trouble Is Individual.
The beginning of the trouble Is
not national 1t is individual. We
are, most of us, poor administra
tors of our money and our time. In
short, extravaganza is in the air
and we all catch the disease. A
man into whose family there
comes twelve thousand dollars per
annum told me that when he had
to buy a new suit he didn't know
where to get the money to pay the
bill.
But he has an automobile.
house in town, and house out Of
town.
Now, comparatively few earn
twelve thousand dollars per year,
but great many do not know how
TO pay for new suit when they
need it,
Probably there is something in
the cost of high living, after all.

Dracept lima IT, 7o0DrIIal.-

TT HE cost of living is the best
advertised subject of the
present sine. Its popular
ity will continue 1t interests ev-
erybody who spends money; more
particularly those VINO have to earn
the money before they spend it.
College boys on regular allow
ance are not worrying
They tell us in books and maya
zines that the purchasing power Of
the dollar has steadily fallen, until
what it can 60 for US as compared
with what it did for our grand
fathers is shameful difference.
They point out in papers and
magazines what may be the causes
Of the weakness that has assailed
the dollar as its worst disease.
Some of these causes are: Cd The
over production of gold; CD the
control of corporations; (3) the
government purchase of railways;
(4 the necessity for getting divi-.
dends on watercd stock out of the
general public.
Read each one of these causes
again. slowly.
You Are a Voter.
You are a voter. You have been
told about the dignity that the
franchise bestows upon you That
dignity is a real thing. Your Amer
lean citizenship is held up to you
as great possession. 1t is a great
possession. The power OF your vote
has been sung to you for years,
And it has power.
But. on the other hand-D You
have a home in which your interest
is centered; CO.. you have a job that
takes your attention all day long;
CD you have a body that needs rest
all night long.
Now, what can you do today be-
tween sunrise and sunset to make
dealers sell you the necessities of
life at a cheaper rate than you paid
yesterday?
You are probably convinced that
you can do nothing. And you are
pretty near right.
But still you are interested in the
cost of living, because you find it
harder and harder to make both
ends come near each other. Must
you sit down and take what they
hand out to you, or can you do
something about it some time?
You probably can do something.
or help to do something.
Two problems are before you:
l. An interest in your own affairs.
.. An equal interest in public af-
fairs.
You will never make good with
the contents Of the pay envelope if
you dodge either of these.
The first means an intelligent
administration of your own affairs
NOW.
The second means an equally in
telligent administration of your af-
fairs as a citizen ALL THE TINE.

Then there's the temptation of
the automobile. When they were

that, and some more. when some
old rounder with pouchy eyes and
a leery look tells you that his
wife's away and asks YOU if YOU
won't ride out with him to a lit
tie roadhouse he knows where YOU
can have dinner on the terrace.
Your nerves are racked with the
heat and work, and nothing else
could seem SO alluring as the
thought Of speeding away from
bhstering streets to shady coun-
try roads, but before YOU go count
the cost and see if the price isn't
prohibitive.
There's nothing for nothing in
this world. For everything We get

Because you are bored and lone
ly. don't pick up the acquaintance
on a park bench of some good
looking youth of whom you know
nothing except that he has a glib
tongue, and is dressed like a
ready made clothing advertise
ment. 1t may be very amusing
and romantic to flirt with him and
meet him by appointment under
certain tree every evening, and
it may thrill you for him to hold
your hand and kiss you in the
moonlight. but just count up the
cost of the entertainment.
Those kind of affairs don't end
at the altar, girls. That's not the
way men get acquainted with girls
they mean to marry. With the
first cold blast of Autumn your
butterfly lover will fade away, and
leave you, perhaps with a broken
heart grieving over the man who
looked like a gentleman and wasn't
one. mere are no wolves III the
forest so dangerous as those two
legged wolves in sleeps clothing
who prowl around the city in Sum
mer seeking pretty maidens whom
they may devour.
And there's the temptation to go
off on the excursion, girls. Some
times they are all right, and some
times they are not. Sometimes you
get in with a gay and hilarious
crowd who are whooping things up
and drinking to much, and you trail
along because you don't want to be
a spoil sport, and high spirits are
contagious and you think it won't
hurt, for once.
You can't afford IL girls. Believe
me, such pleasures as that come
too high and that many a girl who
INDUCES in one such frolc spends
the balance Of her life in repent
ing it.

Peculiar After Effects

boy it would now have a system OF
which the city could be proud and
which would not have cost such an
enormous amount,
1t is to be hoped thai the vacan-
cy that has recently occurred In the
playground board of this city will
soon be filled SO that there need be
no delay In carrying out the work
thus far planned. We believe that
the playground is destined to be one
of the most important institutions
of this city. The commission should
be given hearty support in its efforts
to have the one playground, which
it has planned. established in the
most thorough manner. Once the
playground is In operation the oppo-
sition that has been expressed to 1t
will rapidly disappear and instead OF
causing people who live In the yicin-
ity to be dissatisfied, it will be an
attraction and people from other
sections OF the city will be glad to
move near the site in order that
their children may have the benefit
of the institution and be cared for
in such a satisfactory n with
out causing constant concern to the
parents.
Perth Amboy has waited long
enough for It's playground and we
trust that as soon as the weather
will permit steps will be taken to
put the field in condition.

PRINCIPLES NOT E

1t is remarkable to read the met
ropolitan newspapers these days or
the political campaign as it has thus
far advanced. 1t would seem as II
principles amounted to nothing.
The whole agitation Is being carried
on either for or against certain
men. The fact that these men stand
for something, or stand for nothing
in particular, seems to be lost sight
of entirely. The whole agitation il
whether or not we shall have a GER
tain mar for President.
President Taft, four years ago,
was elected because he stood for the
Roosevelt policies and because
Roosevelt assured the people that
Mr.. Taft could be depended upon to
carry out the program, he had SO
well begun. 1t was not that the
people wanted Taft. they wanted
what Taft was supposed to stand for.
Just nUw-frT Mr.. Tafs~has departed
from the program Is known by every
one and Mr.. Roosevelt, himself. has
at last been persuaded to take the
field sn an effort to re-establish the
policf laid down BY him while
President. We find, however. very
little discussion on what President
Taft stands for. The whole agita-
ton is for or against the men them
selves.
On the Democratic side we have
Woodrow Wilson lighting against
the field in the interests Of the peo-
pie. He has decided Ideas on all
matters of public interest and does
not hesitate to tell what he stands
for. His enemies have long ago
given up trying to beat him by at
lacking his platform and have been
carrying IN their campaign OF per-
sonalities.
There Is no doubt that the great
majority of the readers of the New
York papers are becoming heartily
sick Of the great personal campaign
that is being carried on and II it Is
kept up a reaction will set in and
the men who are being ATTACHED will
become more than ever the popular
heroes.

FOR THE

A reader Of the EVENING NEWS
who Is interested in the playground
movement has sent US. from CIeve-
land, o., a copy of The Press, pub
lished In that city, giving an account
Of what 1t is proposed to do there
for the welfare of the children. 1t
seems that a special committee was
appointed by the Chamber of Com
merce ten months ago to investigate
this subject. The findings of this
committee cover the results of one
OF the most thorough researches in
the problem Of child labor ever
made in an American community.
There are five recommendations en-
bodied In the report, which are as
follows:
81. Cali a referendum election
for the issuance Of $1,000,000c In
bonds.
20. Use 100000 of the pro
ceeds to create great public play
centers, one on the west, the other
on the east side OF the river where
children may play not only in the
summer and fall, but in the winter
and spring; not only In the daytime,
but at night when thousands now
rove the streets; each play center to
contain q huge field house for I'M
door exercises.
g. Place adequate apparatus In
each school yard and In each present
city playground swimming pools In
various sections of the city, bright
lights in each school and city play
ground u children mas play there
safely at night. and provide proper
shelter for tired mothers who come
there with their babies. using $685.
GOO Of the remainder OK the fund.
~ Place all public amusements
in which children engageEplay-
grounds, street games, moving pic
ture shows. dance halls, pool rooms
and pIeasure parks-under the con
troll OF g director OF public recrea-
ttcn, who stall be an expert In the
training and care OF children.
70. join the school board and
sass city government together In a
voluntary nnson to share the ex-
pense OF maintenance, and TO pro-
vsde trained instructors for each
playground.
