annual report OF the commission, which
will Dee made IN few days. shows great
progress i'm stamping on this disease.
which is one OF the greatest handicaps
on progress i'm the Southern states. and
is responsible for the arrested develop
meut of vast number of people in the
rural districts.
Beginning i'm 1910 the commission
treated lt423 cases ina siN states. The
next wear IT invaded three new states
and treated ll0.3iS persons. bringing the
total number of persons treated since

STARVATION WAGES
They Play Large, but Not a Con-
trolling, Part.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir. # is with much interest that !
read the various opinions and controver-
sizes on the question of low wages and
vice md. however. that most Of the
people who speak and write SO strongly
on this subject are largely those who have
never experienced the nardships Of trying
to live on what We understand as really
low wages. For instance, how many Of
the employers and officials who testified
a. the Chicago hearing, or the ministers
and lecturers who have spoken on the
subject, have even known what II was TO
make ends meet. and perhaps help others,
or g. 80 or 81 "A week?
/ do not agree with the minister who
stated that low wages and vice are in
separable Had ne thought the matter
out logically. he would have evolved the
fact that character plays even larger
part in leading a person either 10 or
away from vice. II the tendency To vice
is not part Of an individuals makeup
no small wage il going To lead him 10
il nor even environment. for the mental
capacity Of that individual will overcome
all other obstacles. and eventually she
tor he, will rise mentally above the s. ~
or 81 job ON the other hand. the law Of
nature and inheritance Is such that even
if a girl gets living wage and the ten
dency to vice is there this tendency Will
dominate her To a greater or lesser de-
gree. depending on the strength OF this
tendency. and II is only through strong
will power. self government and environ
ment for good that the vice can be- kept
under.
However. the larger majority OF girls
receiving a starvation wage have neither
will power nor are they capable OF gov
ernng themselves. and their environ
ments. as has been often proved. rather
tend toward vice. This being the fact,
when the door OF vice opens TO them they
have not the proper mental balance to
reason the matter out In the right way.
nor do they wish To do so, the thought
that takes possession OF their entire being
is: rs IL worth while to struggle along

THE CHILDREN

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir. | quote from the letter signed "A
Visitor" which appeared In to-day's Trib-
une.
Let every father and mother remember
these lines from Dickens.
My heart grows as weak as woman's
And the fountains Of feeling will flow
When think of the paths steep and stony
Where the feet of the dear ones must go.
or the mountains of sin hanging q er them,
OF the tempest of fate blowing wild
oh, there's nothing on earth half so holy
As the Innocent heart Of child.
The author OF the lines quoted is not
Dickens. but the Hon. Charles NJ. Dickln-
son. OF BInghamton. \. Y, at one time
United States Consul General to Turkey,
and are found i'm little volume of poems.
published by Mr.. Dickinson some twenty
years ago. entitled The Children. and
other Verses" The poem. by the way. is
one of the sweetest in the English Ian
guage. and has often been wrongfully ac-
credited To Charles Dickens.
