There are many people who vii pet dog and kick fallen wo- man.
 They will tie a satin ribbon around the neck of a faVOrlte cal and draw their skirts around them when they pass Jacqueline in the street.
 They expose the mistakes of little girls whom poverty has op- pressed and dance halls and un- |scrupuIous men enSnared.
 But they stop when they are asked to help the same girls to get back.
 It is an odd code of morals that destroys hope.
 It is an odd Christian faith that forgets that Christ was called the Rcdeemer.
 The word redemption spranS up when ancient warriors began Ito lead hostages from the battle fields.
 To kill these prisoners was not a profitable method of dispOsinS of them. Rich families were req div to give camcIs and goats for their release.
 We hear Job giving voice to his faith that his Redeemer liV- eth and will buy him from his captors.
 In the galleries of Europe there is often seen a beautiful picture of Magdalen reading. She had been redeemed.
 When some unseen hand drew back for St. John the curtain of heaven he saw in one happy field, one hundred, and forty thousand of the redeemed.
 Today it is not the fashion to give goals or camels to redeem young girls. Instead, many men are accommodating riches by throwing open the doors of vice to them.
 Instead of giving money for their redemption, they are taking money in aid of their destruction.
 And these men--many of them to-day are making the loudest cry against the nationwide movement to help the Jacque- lines.
 The women of Washington are in advance of the women of many other states, And it would be a splendid work if they would ini- tiate some movement to give a chance to the sorry girls who want to get back--Seattle Sun.

THE REAL VICE PROBLEM.

Vice invrSigatOrs in the East have proved that low wages and dance halls are the chief causes of delinquency among girls ln their teens.
 That was no new discovery, nor was il half so important as the figures which were submitted tn prove that after they make their first miS>lep. few girls ever turn back.
 Society doesn't give them a chance tn turn back. It refuses to take them back. II pushes them on.
 While the vice investigators are uncuvtrimG the conditions that put a premium on wrong living, they ought to take time to call attention to the social con- ditions that deny chance to the girl who wants to begin to live right.
 The girl who makes mistake and wants to live it down is not a very serious menace to soci- ety, but society is very serious menac, to her.
 It turns it's back upon her.
 It compels her to become a sO- cial danger, by refusing to help her to become anything else.
 There are thousands of girls who, like the Jacqueline of Alex ander Bisson, are sorry and want to turn back. But society lashes them; sneers at them; jeers at them.
 A social worker in Chicago held up his hands in holy horror at the vice inquiry Inc other day and wanted to know:
 What are we going to do with these girls that have gone wrong; We cannot take them back
 He did not ask: How can we help them?
 He merely wanted to tell them how bad they were and then let them bear their burden alone.
 If we are going to put an end tO the influences that lead to the first misstep, we must also pre- vent the second and third mis- step by giving back hope to the sorry Jacqueline--hope and chance to find way to enjoy life

POPULAR RULE IN JAPAN.

All this war talk about Japan is less important--in view of the fact that there is only the re- motest possibility of trouble than the change that is ill pro- gress in the Mikado's country leading to popular government. With the recent downfall of the Katsura ministry the Japanese people have been holding meet ings, vOicing their wishes and de- mands, and have succeeded i'll having long step taken toward the establishment of representa- tive government.
 While matters are still very much in state of flux under the compromise Yamamoto Ministry, it seems certain that Japan IS soon to have ministries responsi- ble to the House of representa- tives and thus to the people, on the British plan. According to the Tokio correspondent of the London Times, this significant and impending change is mat ter of only one OF two years at most.
 It is really economic pressure that has caused the popular awakening. The Japanese people are staggering under perhaps the heaviest load of taxation people ever carried. They have carried it patiently and periodically, so as to insure Japan her place among the great powers of the world. But the military bureau- cracy that has ruled Japan now proposes new expenditures and heavier armament. The popular revolt is the anSWrr, and the de- mand for really representative and responsible government is becoming too insiSlcnt to be re- fused.
 Incidentally there is nothing ill all this lu give the United States 8 single moment of unrasincsS.

the late Sir Henry Irving. Mr.. Sui
liyan is an actor of recognized abili-
ty and of the many great charae-
tiers he has portrayed. that of Ma
thias" in the"The Bells" stands out
as mis- masterpiece. The story of this
powerful drama. which Is well known
all over the civilized world. is even
better adapted to picture than ii Is
to stage production. By double and
triple exposures. the desperate crime
committed in the binding now
storm is magniieently handled
thanks to the genius of Director Os-
car c. APPEL. who staged the presen-
tation. and the wonderful scenes in
which Matthias" is haunted by an
awakened conscience and the fear OF
exposure. with the remarkable
climax which ends in his death, are
presented with a realism only made
possible by a combination of master
full direction, artistic acting and
scientific camera work. The Bells"
is the head-liner at the Bio tonight.
