RESTORES RELIGIOUS GARB.
President Taft Confirms Revocation OI
Order Applying TO Indian Schools.

President Taft has decided that the
order of Robert G.. Valentine, who
resigned as United State Commission
er of Indian Affairs on September,1O,
prohibiting the use of religions garb
or insignia in the Indian schools and
missions shall not be revived. The
order, which was issued last January,
was promptly revoked by the Secre-
tary of the Interior under direction Of
President Taft.
When Mr.. Valentine resigned he
announced that he had quit in order
that he might work for Colonel Roose-
velt and the Progressive party. While
Mr.. Valentine said he had resigned
for political reasons, it is known that
he had not been in favor with the
Administration for months and the
trouble began when Mr.. Valentine
issued the religious garb order. The
President says:
81 directed that the order be re-
voked and that action by the Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs be suspended
until such time as to permit full
hearing to be given to all parties in
interest and conclusion be reached in
respect to the matter after full de-
liberation. Accordingly the Secre-
tary of the Interior has givel very
full hearing to the parties in interest,
and printed arguments nave been pre-
sented.
The Secretary of the Interior
after very full and patient consider
alton, has reached the conclusion.
stated in letter to the Commissioner
of Indian Affairs, that the order ought
not TO be made and that those persons
who are now engaged in teaching \
Government schools as members OF
the Government civil service, and whc
are wearing the gsrb, should be per
mitted to remain in the service anC
while discharging their duties tc
wear the garb, ! concur in this view,
and the order as revoked will not be
revived"
Accompanying the order of the
President is letter which Secretary
of the Interior Fisher, who made an
investigation for the President, sent
to Mr.. Valentine on August "a. Ii
was intimated that Mr.. Valentine had
sought to embarrass the Administers
tion, but this was denied by his
/ friends. The Catholic Church protest.

FIFTY PERCENT In 10 YEARS.
Federal Investigation of Cost Of Food
Products Shows Marked Increase
of Prices.

The most marked upward trend of
the cost of living is disclosed in the
Federal Bureau of Labor's report of
an investigation of prices for the past
ten years conducted in the important
industrial centres of thirty-two states.
Fifteen most important articles of
food, as well as coal, comprising two
thirds of a workingman' needs, were
investigated. In many cities the in
vestigators gathered statements of
merchants on the cost of living and
specimens of these are published in
the report.
On June Is, 1919, the report shows
fourteen of the fifteen articles OF
food we're higher than a year before,
and ten had advanced in the past ten
years more than so per cent. over
the average retail price for the ten
year period from 1890 to 1899.
During the last decade prices of
potatoes changed most and sugar
the least. Their advances were Ill. 9
and 81 per cent, respectively. Dur
ing the last year, bacon, which de-
/ creased Just one-tenth of ! per
cent, was the only one of the fif-
teen principal articles of food that
showed a decline in price, while nine
of the fifteen advanced more than
10 per cent, varying from "a per
cent. for milk, to 1876 per cent. for
round steak.
Of the fifteen, only eggs, butter,
milk and sugar were lower, but the
price of three of these four is nor
mally lower during summers than dur
| ing winters. This was the showing
made for the food prices in the last
year. according to the report on the
foods investigated: Decreae in price,
smoked bacon, per cent. Increase
in price fresh milk, "a per cent.
smoked ham, 2.7; hens, 3S; granu-
lated sugar, 6; Irish potatoes, 7.6;

The advance during the decade, COM

WHAT A SUFFRACIsT THINKS.
Police Women Have Come to Stay
In Sympathy With Civic League
Movement Perhaps.
Communicated }

To the Editor THE p0licewOman
like the suffragist has come TO stay.
Baltimore city has two policewomen.
wonder when Annapolis will become
so fortunate? Policewomen have been
very successful in dealing with mash
ers. One of the women only had TO
show her. badge, and it frightened two
male mashers So badly, they beat very
hasty retreat. How very different il
was from being so willing to go with
that "big fat blonde" policewoman
we have heard so much talk about.
don't know whether this particular
policew oman was 'tbig fat blonde
or rawboned, gawky brunette, but
from what the paper said. under
stand the men were not very willing
TO go with her even if she was wo-
man.
Three cheers" for the policewo-
man If she didn't do anything else
but rid the city of male and female
mashers, she would be worth her
weight in gold. We must get ready
TO receive the fire-woman next. l
don't know how she will go about
fighting the fire but / judge she will
use a different method from men.
However. this much | will venture to
say. She will "'make it smoke" "
Like the suffragist these women will
all receive a large amount of criti-
cism; fer that matter who has ever
escaped. The very best mothers and
housekeepers receive their portion, so
why should we be afraid to stand for
woman's rights. | can't understand
why there are so very many women
who believe that women should have
the same privileges as men, yet only
about one-tenth will publicly admit it.
The members of the Civic League
have received as much criticism as a
sulfragist, if they only knew it.
| believe there are more men and
women in favor of woman suffrage
than they are in sympathy with the
Civic League, because they believe as
! do, that there is already enough
money appropriated to do this work,
if il were handled properly, and it is
pity to ask even a quarter from an
already over-taxed people. ! am not
criticising the ladies of the Civic
League, for they hadn't any other
way to do the work, but always feel
that the politicians are laughing at
them, because men refused women a
vote, and these ladies came forward
and managed to do lot of work that
over-paid lay politicians should do.
We all know politicians are going to
praise these ladies openly, for have
they not saved them a lot of time,
trouble and expense. find politi-
clans like the Civic League, because
they get off easy, while the average
honest voter stands the expense.
Woman suffrage will help the voter,
and well do the corrupt politicians
know it. Can we blame them for be-
ing opposed?
The suffragists are now hard at
work in Anne Arundel county, and
hope every honest voter and every
good mother will think twice before
they refuse them assistance. History
is not made up of people who were
afraid of criticism. Margaret A.
Harrington says:
BY thine own SOULS law learn to live f;
And if men thwart thee, take no
heed,
And if men hate thee, take no care
Sing thou thy song, and do thy deed.
