sHERLEY WILL SUCCEED.

A Washington special says it was
learned on good authority Saturday
that Representative Fitzgerald, of
New York, Chairman of the all
powerful Appropriations Committee
of the House, will resign within the
next few weeks to accept an appoint
ment by Gov. Glynn to the New
York State Supreme bench. The
Supreme Court Justiceship pays
$17,5O0 year in New York, where
as the Congressional salary is but
81, 500 a year. Mr.. Fitzgerald has 4
large family, He has never been
regarded as a wealthy man, so the
increase in revenue will be most
acceptable. Chairman Fitzgerald will
be succeeded as Chairman of the
Appropriations Committee by Repre-
sentative Swagar Sherley, of Louis
Vile, who is the ranking member

for his decisive victory over Capt.
H. /. Fox, who has been heralded as
"the man who gave Sherley such
close race" into the ears of the
public, that they had become sick
and tired,zand the Louisville Herald
might be excused for running Foxs
picture just once more with the
statement under it that this is ''the
man who was beaten by Scott
Bullitt by over 5000 votes.'
In a letter to the Kentucky Irish
American about six weeks ago Dun
can Clark, the editor of the Herald,
remarked that in his departure for
Chicago just after the election he
would leave the editors of this
paper under good Progressive gov
ernment, but after the severe roust-
ing given Duncan by Judge Weis-
singer, Clem Higgins and other
speakers, in addition to Tuesdays

his departure quietly, leaving un-

Lazinees and Low Moral Tone
Cause of Downfall of
Women.
There lis No Danger of Men or
Women Starving In
America.
WHERE GIRLS CAN Be SAFE

Society is confronted with dan
gerous class of men, who would
rather steal than work. and an
other class, not quite so dangerous,
who would steal rather than work
for what they regard as unfair
wages. says the Watchman. The
lails and penitentiaries are full OF
both these classes. There are also
two classes of female malefactors;
those who work and steal, and those
VINO, unwilling TO work and afraid
to steal, take to the street. 1t is
comparatively easy to deal with male
criminals. They are not criminals
all the time, and their criminality
usually ends with the attainments OF
its object! With women II is dir-
ferent. When a woman enters upon
bad life she constitutes menace
to society every minute and hour OF
the day and night. She is a moral
infection and is worst when best.
There is no mercy for an abandoned
woman, any more than there is for
a wolf or a mad dog. The ancients
stoned her to death, and they knew
quick way OF getting rid OF her.
A man who would rather steal than
work is beyond reform; the man
who would rather murder and main
than work for what he considers an
insufficient wage should be closely
watched; but the woman who, for
any reason, would adopt a life OF
sin is a social impossibility. Society
can not suffer her to pollute its
moral air.
There has been held in all the
large cities of this country an In
vestigation Of the cause and cure OF
female immortality, and the con-
sensus of opinion is that the chief
factor In the downfall OF women Is
low wages. The question is put to
the American people, has not a
woman a right to sell her virtue to
keep from starving? AS we'll ask
has a woman the right to kill 10
keep from starving? But the ques-
ton is not put fairly. There is nc
exclusive alternativenes between
starving and life of shame. There
is no danger OF women or men
starving in this country. Honest
people need never go hungry fol
long. There are plenty OF charitable
people TO come 10 their assistance
even when the State fails TO do its
| duty toward them. The question
should be put In this form: Has 4
woman right to sell her virtue
rather than wear poor clothes7 Hal
a woman a right TO prey on thu

morals of society II she is paid less
than $25 a week? And put in this
way we have flood of light thrown
, on the awful infamy. Shame in a
woman Is unspeakable, and nothing
weighs in the scales against female
virtue. Men are bad at times and
for short while; a bad woman is
bad twenty-four hours in the day
and every day. To make the laws
of morality apply equally to men
and women would be to put on thel
same scale of physical ills tuber-
culosis and the toothache. The false
and hypocritical morality of the
world is shown nowhere in clearer
light than in their partiality for
female lapsesN from virtue. Men
never condone the poor woman who
sins once; but they have infinite pity
and forbearance for the woman who
adopts unchastity as profession.
These men who are conducting
Investigations of female immortality
show their unfitness for the task by
their non-admissions The under
world is peopled entirely by those
who are after easy money. The
temptation of the burglar and the
baud is the same-easy money.
Female unchastity is a plague. and
bad women should be uuarantined
like lepers. Society is willing to
support leper colonies; it will gladly
pay for keeping bauds impounded.
This is the easiest and most sensible
way. And 1t would in a short time
be self-sustaining, for the reason
that there would be none to i'm
pound. But the rascally and hypo-
critical world does not want to get
rid of its bad women: and IL a way
were discovered to blot out the So
cial evil It would be fiercely com
batted. God and Gods church have
infinite mercy for the lapsing sim
ner, man or woman; but professional
sinners are not sinners: they are
enemies of man, and there is as
much difference between the man or
woman that sins from weakness, and |
the man or woman who adopts a |
criminal profession, as there is be-
tween daylight and the darkest |
night. Professional burglars, pro-
fessional counterfeiters, professional
pickpockets and professional bad
women form a class apart. and
Justice to the innocent and decent
and law-abiding demands that they
be locked up and kept locked up.
We are seriously told that a girl
in department store who gets less
than $40 a week in salary can not
live on it and be honest and decent.
Men live and support. a family on
that much. What is the matter with
domestic service? Girls can get s
month in a private family, where
they fare as well as their mis-
tresses, and live in their own rooms.
Why is it 50 hard to get a servant
girl? The slums TEEN with the girls
who would rather go to the bad than
work out" Laziness and a low
moral tone-but chiefly laziness-
are. the cause of the downfall of
wofnen.

CUSTOMS AUTHORITIES
HOLD UP SOME JAVELINS

OL1VET, Mich, April 24.-Coaeh
Rudolph Novak, of the Olivet College
track team, is surely against tariff
on javelins. In this stand he is
backed up by Captain George Rider
and score of candidates for the col
lege team. This is because the GUS
toms authorities at New York have
held up for several weeks shipment
of six javelins which Or. II. A. Miller,
of the local athletic association, or
dered from Sweden last December.
The javelin, which is to be hurled
at all Michigan intercollegiate ath-
letic association meets this season
in place of the hammer throw, costs
50 in this country, whereas 1t may be
had in Sweden for 81. DR.. Miller saw
a chance to save the college some
money and sent to Sweden for the
long pointed stocks. Yesterday he
received word from New, York that
the weapons bad been lying in the
customs office there for some time
awaiting payment OF $3.40 duty.
