Is the Mann Act to Go?

Cedar Rapids Republican,: The
Mann act Is the act commonly known
as the white slave law It makes it
a criminal offense to transport Won

taking women across state line for
immoral purposes, although no white

women was shown.
There has been a great deal of crit
icism of that Interpretation in which
some influential journals have Joined,
on the theory that 1t makes the law
too drastic, and recently federal
| Judge in Kansas has held that it must
be af1lrmatively shown that such trans
portadon is for commercial purposes,
an Interpretation under which the
California scoundrels would have been
| freed.
But let us have care In modifying

is a good law. Any law that puts a
bar and a ban upon sexual immoral
titles ought to be esteemed good law

ject, vital to the whole moral struc-
ture The traffic in women is the most
lastcupding evil Of this nation, and OF
other nations. The profits Of the slay-
ers and panderers have been shown
to aggregate a hundred millions a

men with women in cities, in camps
and in resorts. Those who kidnap,

The greater part of the annual fire

municipal, through the liberation ny

the regulation Of explosives and in

REORGANIZATION.

1t can not be that He who made
This wondrous world of our delight,
Designed that all its charms should
fade
And pass forever from our sight;
That all shall wither and decay,
And know on earth no life but this,
With only one finite survey
OF all its beauty and its bliss.
It can not be that all these years
OF toll and care and grief we live
Shall find no recompense but tears,
No sweet return that earth can give;
That all that leads us to aspire,
And struggle onward to achieve,
And every unattained desire
Were given only to deceive.
1t can not be that, after all
The mighty conquests of the mind.
Our thoughts shall pass beyond recall
And leave no record here behind;
That all our dreams of love and fame,
And hopes that time has swept
away
All that enthralled this mortal
Frame
Shall not return some other day.
It can not be that all the ties
OF kindred souls and loving hearts
Are broken when this body dies.
And the immortal mind departs:
That no serener light shall break
At last upon our mortal eyes,
TO guide US as our footsteps make
The pilgrimage to Paradise.

lowing:
"A mirror attached to the inside of

found useful for dressing or dress
making. The glass measures about
eight by fourteen inches and rests
on two curtain rod hooks screwed into
the door about four inches from the
bottom. The upper edge of the glass
can be securely fastened by tack.
Much depends upon the angle at
which the mirror refiects-the longer
the hooks the better the results when

women do not care for all the fuss
and feathers occasioned by all the con-
ventional wedding array. But those
over whom tradition still holds sway
do not feel themselves properly mar
ried unless decked out in satin gown,
tulle or lace veil and orange blossoms
The custom is, to be sure, pretty
one and anyone who would presume
to criticize it must indeed be lacking
in sentiment. Even those who are
obliged to practice self-denial in other
directions are to be excused for hay
ing all the essentials Of this "oncein-
a-lifetime" occasion.
Very attractive for the purpose is
the gown of white charmeuse Illus
trated here. The arrangement OF the
front of the bodice harmonizes effec-
lively with the opening at the lower
edge of the skirt. A fall of shadow
lace from the shoulders gives a style
to the gown both pleasing and ar
tistic. The bridal veil of tulle ar
ranged on the head in cap effect is
caught with orange blossoms, and,
falling free to the hem Of the square
train, completely envelopes the figure.
The insert of the skirt is of shadow
lace similar to that used for the back
