THE GIRL WHO WORKS
NOT THE GIRL WHO ERRS.

No greater wrong was ever COM
mitted in the name of reform than that
10 which the Illinois vice commission,
which. held meeting in Washington
on last Saturday, has resorted. We
are not familiar with the conditions
in Illinois that brought about the APP
poin;mcnt OF the commission but wc
do know after hearing Saturdays pro-
c. cdings, that the commission, as now
constituted is neither fair or impartial
and that nothing of practica! value
will result from the Investigations
they arc making.
In the first place the members OF
the commission have already reached
a conclusion from their superficial!
investigation Of the subject in Chlca-
go and the examination Of few nun
drcd witnesses, that low wages is the
principal, if not the entire reason, for
the first downward step taken by
girls and that, therefore, by the adop-
ton of a minimum wage for women
the social evil will be practically
cradicated. To sustain this theory
they are bending creation 10 its sup
port. and are placing the working
GIRLS of America under one Of tn:
most shameful indictments to which
they could be subjected.
During Saturdays hearing witness
es who have had years of experience
in dealing with the social evil, women
of national reputation as authorities
on the condition of working girls
were not given an opportunity to eX'
press their real opinions on the sub
icct under investigation unless the!
were first willing to agree with tht
members of the commission that {
minimum wage was the universe!
cure, not orly for poverty but for th'
social evil and white slavery. Inc
hearing was not so much an inves'ti,
cation Of true conditions in Washing
ton as ii was an attempt on the par
of members of the COMMISSION 70
gain support for their campaign To-
a minimum wage Practically ever!
witness before the committee agreed
that a minimum wage was desirable
but there was naturally strong obJcc
ton to the attempt to couple low
wages with vice, TO say that on s.
much week girl can be honest, OF
less than 50 much week they mus
be dishonest.
Vigorous protest was made By
representative Of the National Flor
cncc Crittenton Mission, whose head
quarters arc in Alexandria agains
the views of the commission ard tn
statement was made that among tn
ay.0nC or more girls Who have bee
;Dr.stcs of the Florence Crittento

or IS . week is ridiculous. 1t is pos
sible. that among thousand there
will be few who would have kept

among those getting So some would

The world has little to fear from

is eating so deeply into our national
existence. But in the class above her,
the fairly well to do, the girl who
lives in idleness, will be found a large
percentage of the moral delinquents

enter into consideration. Women who
toll long hours for pittances are not
the ones who degrade their sex and
the attempt on the part Of the Illinois
commission to make industry a badge

A WEEKEND PARTY.


Big Bill Jones saved six months pay

Just itching for adventure, Bill start

If he mixed his drinks enough, what
the result would be,
So from place to place ne went, load
ed up for fair,
His heart was filled with merriment,
he knew no grief OF care.
He got into e. wrangle with some
sailors on the street,
The battle that ensued was quite a
puglllStlc treat,
And when the row was over, Bill
started out to find
Some other kind of wickedness tc
occupy his mind.
lie broke a plate-glass window, and
he slapped bar-keep's face,
And then he turned the beer kegs on
and flooded out the place,
And when he couldn't see chance tc
have some real strife,
He chased a negro sixteen blocks ano
swore to have his life.
Of course, they locked him up al
last, so he no more could roam,
And when he'd paid his fine and costs
he took freight back home,
But Bill was overjoycd with his week

And thought that ne'er so pleasantly
he'd spent his hsrd-earned pa.
