WASHINGTON. March ga min
imum wage law of national scope, and
the formation of a national commits
sion with representatives from every
state in the union to investigate the
wage problem in its connections with
the vice problem were the urgent sug-
gestions made to President Wilson to-
day by Lieutenant Governor Barratt
O'Hard chairman of the Illinois SEN
ate vice commission.
The plan presented TO the president
during the twelve minutes conference
with O'Hara and other members of the
Illinois commission. was that Presid Mt
Wilson called a conference Of the anti
vice commissions OF the various states
to meet in Washington next fall TO
carry on a national fight for the min
imum wage law
Impressed by the testimony deduceI
from manufacturers and mail order
magnates who appeared before the L.
linois commission the visitors repre-
scented that no state would find It easy
to enact minimum wage laws for WON
en- and children So long as other states
in which there We're competing indus
tries were without such laws The
only effective solution, i'm their opin-
ion was a national law on tine ques-
ton.
Promises to Consider.
The president expressed himself as
being much interested in The investi-
cations Of the commission and prom
ised to take the recommendation un-
der advisement He listened attentive
ly to the statement that there is ur-
gent need of national laws TO remove
the menaces confronting the woman
hood of the country and the repeated
suggestion that national conference
be held in Washington Of the members
Of all commissions engaged in a SINH
lar line of inquiry.
81 know Of no better person than
yourself to call such a conference" re
marked Senator Beau, Who has studied
the white slave abroad as well az n
this country.
Senator JUL urged upon the pres-
dent the need of making the move for
minimum wage law for women ma
ton wide. and advocated the estab-
lishment of Federal homes in big cities
for unfortunate women who by reason
of their being in interstate commerce.,
would be subject to Federal jurisdic-
ton.
Can Surely Watch the Girls"
IF the national government" said
JUL. can afford to trace and take care
of every pound Of tobacco from the
time it is produced until the time it
reaches the consumers in the form Of
cigars, then surely the government can
afford to take care of and watch over
the girls Of the country"

gresham from a Member Of the
Stock Exchange" The Con
gresham addressed vas the
lion. George A. Nicely, from the
state Of Kansas. Mr.. Nicely
had made a speech in the House
Of Representatives upon a sub
iect he knew very little, if any
thing about. Mr.. Nicely. like so
many of our present day states
men. sought to create a great
Juror by attacking in sceathmg
teams so iniquitous an institution,
asthe New York Stock Exchange.
He. again, like so many Of our
present day congressman, made
the fatal mistake Of not posting
himself on the subject he wished
to discuss. and is made to appear
ridiculous. instead Of appearing
as an honest and courageous pub
lie servant intent upon doing
something worth while. The ig-
norance he displayed was pitiful,
and he so far wandered from
the facts that the Stock EX-
change had merely to print short
excerpts from his speech to show
him up. We have never been
able to find an excuse for the
existence Of a Stock Exchange
any more that we have for any
other gambling Institution; nor
are we able to find an excuse
for a congressman who has so
little Judgment as to use mac
curicies, misstatements and lies
in a discussion Of any subject,
much less one that the truth a
bout would be absolutely death
ly in its effect.
