THEM ON

In one of his novels, Charles Dickens
satirizes the custom OF the police in
making loiterers "move on Since
the great novelist's day the custom
Las grown rather than diminished, and
gives evidence of the desire Of certain
officials to shift responsibility to the
shoulders of those of some other com
munity.
The latest illustration of this ap-
parent Sinking of official duty comes
from Salt Lake City, where a newly
appointed chief of police seeks to
solve the social evil question by order
ing all undesirable women out of town.
This may be all very well for "Zion,"
but what about the towns to which
they 90 and what of the women them
sevesf Must they keep "moving on
until relieved by DEATH
In the towns and cities of the coun-
try tramps are daily arrested and
given "floaters,' with the result that
they 60 wandering about the country
committing petty depredations to OBJ
tain a living. AS a consequence the
country is today infested with an army
OF these worthless non-producers, who
are fast becoming a menace to law and
order.
A movement is now ON foot for the
forming OF a commission, composed OF
delegates from all the states, with the
object in view OF recommending uni
form legislation. One Of the first
subjects to be considered should be
the vagrancy law, and each state
should enact legislation that will com
pei its officers to deal with this class
OF society and not compel them tt
"move IN" to poster other com
munities.

GOVERNMENT FATHERHOOD IN
ALASKA

Government railway building for
the development of one of the Alaska
coal fields is now the subject OF a def
mite proposal to congress in a bill in
troduced by Representative Sulzer, OF
New York, who not long ago paid a
visit to that territory. AS this is a
step toward placing the government
in the position Of a direct business
factor in Alaska, the particulars OF
the proposed measure are OF interest
from q political as well as an indus
trial point OF view.
Congressman Sulzer asks an appro-
priation for the construction and ope-
ration of a railroad to be known as the
Alaska Central from the town OF Sew
ard, on Resurrection bay, to the Mat
anuska coal fields, the work to be
done by army engineers unler the di-
rection Of an Alaska Public Service
Commission. One OF the features is
the setting aside OF 10000 acres OF the
best coal lands in the MatanusKa heid,
and q similar amount in adjacent dis
tricts, tor the use OF the army and
navy. At the same time it is propos-
ed to include Alaska under the luris-
diction OF the interstate commerce
commission.
From a military point of view there
can be no doubt That the reservation
or q large coal supply near the Pacific
coast would be q wise move, as the
coal resources OF the Pacific are tar
from satisfactory. Naval considera-
tions are what make the Alaska Goals
OF special interest to officials at Wash
ington. 1t is probably logical, also.
that the government should engage in
the work OF constructing a rallroad
necessary to make the Goals available
on the coast. But the proposals men
toned point to something more than
q military demand. They are likely
to lead to q complete government con
troll Of the coal mining industry il
Alaska. Private enterprise in this di
rection has been persistently discour
aged, and we have before US IN exam
pie of suggested government pa~ternal
ism to take the place OF individual
operations. 1t may be said that pri
vate coal mining will be permitted un'
der . leasing scheme, but the effect
il smphstically paternolistic, never
theless. What does it not point to in
the way of ultimate railroad owner

personality, especially when backed by the
arbiters of fashion.
Miss O'Hara became the recipient of
almost Historically joyful kilograms from
her press agent From a news standpoint,
she and her last eccentricity was godsend.
It was one of the deadest summers known
in years.
Correspondents rushed to Wapiti They
fastened to announce that the color fashion
had first been adopted by Rose O'Hara,
but that Mrs. X and Mrs. Y,
names to conjure with, had speedily fol-
lowed suit. Their papers and waiting
world Immediately demanded an interview
with the singer on this subject.
Miss O'Hara was gracious. She met all
of the correspondents and talked pleasantly,
but - not about clothes. She tried to beg
off there. Really, there was nothing she
had to say. She had, as usual, ordered
her summer gowns from the best Paris,
New York, London and Vienna houses.
But this year, she must confess it, she had
felt too weary personally to consult them.
Her season had been an unusually arduous
one, but they all knew her tastes perfectly,
and would not dream of sending her any,
thing but what was quite correct Was it a
white summer? Those things were of SO
little interest to the artist But truly,
there must be some mistake, the makers of
her gowns would surely have informed her
of this - what was it? - this white sum-
mer.
After this, as Ernestine had predicted,
things did happen. A Russian Princess at
Trouville, a French Duchesse at AIarien-
bad, Valerie Dreme, the queen of musical
comedy, had all appeared in the limpest of
Colored Chiffons. 1t was practically revo-
luton; the most stupendous event which
had ever occurred in the world of fashion.
The great establishments made herculean
efforts to assemble their workers, In the
gallant but hopeless effort to I'LL their orders.
1t was at this juncture that Willy Gaines
came down from the higher attitudes, and
Mrs. MacChesney heaved a great sigh of
relief and fastened to lay her troubles be-
fore him. She wore the crispest, fullest
white. 1t had become marked costume
in Wapiti now, by reason of its rarity and
unpopularity; but with Mrs. MacChesney
it was almost a uniform. The Guard dies,
it never suTrenders; yet her mouth had a
strained expression, the sort of an expression
she wore in the club federation meetings
when the insurgents held the floor
Say, Willy" she asked, without pre-
amble, why wouldn't it be a good thing
for the Snowflake Laundry to sue this
opera singer?"
What for?" WHY'S tone expressed

Of course she's paid her bill What for?
Why = for running my business. I've got
to pay all those women l engaged for eight
weeks yet to come, and they're just sitting
around doing crochet work and gossiping.
The laundering of a little lingerie is not
enough to keep them all busy"
In reply to GaineS's rather puzzled ques-
tons, Mrs. MacChesney went into the
whole situation, explaining it at length,
emphatically voicing her desire to secure
some recompense for the disastrous results
to her business.
"But she has right to wear any kind
of clothes she pleases, F" said Willy stupidity.
"Has she? Not if it ruins my business,
and not if can prove that she did it just
to ruin my business" replied Mrs. Mac
Chesney with compressed lips, "and l be-
heve | can. The walls are thin, at the
Ritz-Wapiti, and French maids will talk.
You, with what to the masculine sense
might seem subtle flattery, "can make
good case out of anything, Willy, and you
ought to be able to get good damages for
me out of this. Why, if it wasn't for the
power of thought, I'd be beggar in the
street right now, for | mortgaged my whole

With all her various activities and in
terests, Mrs. MacChesney had not neg
lected to adopt and adapt a popular
philosophy. She called herself a New

1t does seem as if this Rose O'Hara was
sent to be thorn in my side, or so 1 would
say If l was in the old theology" she con-
tinued.
At the mention of that name, a remark
able change came over Willy Gaines. He
positively bounded from his chair, his eyes
stared, his face went white.
"What?" he stammered. "Whom did
you say?"
Rose O'Hara. What jumpy cat you
are, Willy. You ought to take something
for your nerves. It's cigarettes. Now, our
crusade -"
Willy Gaines was ever quick to act. He
took Mrs. MacChesney's hand, giving it
gentle and heartening pressure of sympathy
and understanding, and before she knew
it she was at the door.
Now, dear lady," he said reassuringly,

Silently, one by one, the white frocks
disappeared, and all manner OF gay and
gorgeous gowns began to make their
appearance. Against its somber pines, its
bare, pink mountains, about its gushing
crystal springs, Wapiti began to glow like
a bed of peoples. Such is the power of

contention that the game laws can be

l.. e. Johnson, president of the Nor

Grain Dealers Association at Norfolk,

see every freight tariff on file with the
Interstate commerce commission
slightly increased soon.

Many interesting pages from the
great book Of life are to be found IN
the report Of the operations OF the
Salvation Army's anti-suicide bureau.
Since it was started 4,754 persons
have called to lay their embarrass-
.ments before Colonel Emerson, and
have asked him to show cause" -as
the lawyers say--why they should not
put an send to their lives. The largest
number put down the cause OF their
trouble to financial reasons; after
this come drink or drugs, and melan-
cholia.
The applicants come from almost
every class except the workers. There
are clergymen, missionaries. military
officers, doctors, solicitors, school
masters, clerks and company pro-
moters. They have all been dealt
with according to their needs, and
such help has been given them as
their cases seemed to demand.
Legal and medical advice has been
afforded; creditors have been reason

brought about with relatives. And

of the proceedings. But she drew the
fatal card that night. Her husband
was away, SO she had nobody to con-
suit. She determined to feign suicide
and then leave the town, telling him
all and asking him to live elsewhere.
For the club, like most secret socie-
ties in Russia, Is very strict with
those who reveal Its secrets. So she
laid her plans with care, telling the
members that she had discovered a
mysterious poison which, sprinkled on
a rose and inhaled, produced death.
She knew enough medical jargon to
convince them and her maid found
her seemingly dead next morning as
she went into her room AS a matter
OF fact, she had only taken strong
narcotic, but the maid, in panic,
wired to the husband that his wife
was dead. His despair was SO great
that he shot himself. Meanwhile the
wife recovered, and wired him it was
all joke, and she was coming to re-
join him. She found him dead Then
she shot herself, after leaving a let

The police were put on it's track, but
only made a few unimportant arrests.
Various reasons have been urged
for the increase of suicides in Russia,
and many remedies suggested. The
writer asked no less an authority on
Russian life than Count White for his
views. The Count thought moment
before answering. >.
There is not one cause, but
many" he said at last. To begin
with, our young men begin to live too
soon. They are children for such a
short time that they lose their health
and good spirits before youths of the
same age in America have begun to be
grown up. They are satiated before
they are well out of their teens. Their
minds, made morbid by undue excite
ment, are always craving for new i'm
pressions, new sensations. Suicide is
new to them, SO they try suicide, not
because of despair, but from simple
lassitude Life, they say, is not
worth living

should say that they often work un-

class in America, or, rather. there is

To Rush Factory Inspection.

Commissioner of Agriculture, Labor
