WRONG THEORY OF VICE.

The Illinois vice investigation has
attracted attention throughout the
country and is calling forth comment
in the press of all the large cities.
The original tone Of encouragement
for the commission is gradually chang
ing TO that OF questioning the theories
and methods which the commission is
pursuing. In a recent editorial the In
dianapolis News says:
1.-THE committee OF the Illinois state
senate that started out to investigate
vice got a setback from Professor
Taylor Of the Chicago commons social
settlement who, having gone at the
question like a professor and not like
a politician, had investigated 2,420 wo-
men implicated in vice as to the causes
Of wrongdoing. There were many,
but the great point here is that only
u per cent fell as a result of low
wages. We are not arguing for low
wages. But this Illinois legislative
committee apparently started out with
the theory that this was the great
cause of social vice, and then tried to
find cases to support the theory on
which to base a minimum wage law.
A more unscientific and harmful pro-
ceeding cannot easily be imagined.
Every deeper probe has revealed its
unsoundness. Judges and police Off
Gals in the east have universally de-
clared that the wage rate is not the
price of a girls virtue, except in a
small per cent of cases. They are not,
as a class. to be starved into such a
thing. Moreover, there are more
cases from among women that get
higher wages than from those that get
low wages. Social settlement societies
have denounced the Illinois commit
tees conclusion.
The trouble with ii is that it start
ed out with an economic theory, in
favor of (Which it was prejudiced, and
endeavored to bolster its cause by
seeking sociological evidence. The
rate of wage is one thing. The
strength OF moral character and the
causes that weaken it are another. A

The prophylactic action of Herpicide
keeps the hair from disease, and with
the scalp sweet and clean a natural

Miss Orr's Resignation

the Industrial Institute & Col
lege of Columbus, Mississippi,
on the resignation of Miss
Pauline V. Orr, Professor of
Department of English Lit
erature of that Institution.
Whereas, Miss Pauline V. Orr
has rendered her resignation as
Professor of the Department of
English Literature of the Indus
trial Institute & College of Co.
lumbus, Mississippi, and where
as,
We claim for ourselves the
privilege, as we owe to her the
duty, to put into form, as en-
during as may be, some testi-
monial of her estimable worth to
that institution, to her state, and
to US as alumnae, therefore,
We, the Alumnae Association
of the Industrial Institute & Col
lege, do hereby in loving graft
tude express the following reso-
lutions:
First: That in the resignation
of Miss Pauline V. Orr, the In
stitution and the State lose the
service and the presence sof one
of the rarest woman and teach
ers of her generation. Her wide
culture, powerful inspiration,
broad humanity and unfaltering
devotion to the cause of genuine
education have in past years en-
riched and enlightened the lives
of hundreds of women through
whom her influence will pass
with incalculable progressions
into the eternal years.
Second: That throughout our
maturer lives; in the activities of
our homes: in our motherhood.
not less than in our studentshlp;
and in our connection as teachers
with the child-life of this and
other states, we have found our
personal duties and our relations
to others clarified and ennobled
by the lessons of Miss Orr's
classroom, and by what we felt
to be the moving principles of
her own life. However, for we
may have fallen short of her ex-
ample, we feel that the mental
habits, the standards and ideals
of our children and pupils have
some definite relation to the i'm
preston made upon US by Miss
Orr's genuineness, her fairness
and courage, her sense of values
and her consistent discourage
ment of cant and surfaceism.
Third: That those of us to
whom the chances of life have
made possible more extended
study in the greatest institutions
of America, and who have be-
come acquainted with the edu-
cational processes Of the advapc-
ed institutions of other sections
and states, do herewith express
our grateful appreciation of the
general attitude and approach to
learning that Miss Orr made
possible for US, and of her entire
educational procedure, which we
have found to be in harmony
with the very soundest that
this country affords. With our
increased opportunity for COM
parison and our enlarged spheres
of action, we have come to place
an even higher value than in our
college days upon Miss Orr's
scholarship and personality, up
on the intellectual stimulus of
her instruction and upon her
noble and gracious humanity.
Fourth: That we recall among
the ineradicable memories of our
college days Miss Pauline Orr's

Washington. After near.y 15 years of agitation on the subject the senate ia about to vote on a bill whose aim is to prevent the shipment of liquors by means of interstate commerce into states where the sale of liquor is for bidden. It is expected that the sen ate will pass the measure, but wheth- CT 1t passes 1t or not, the house may consider a bill to the same end on It's own account, and send it for sanction over to the senate, which, failing to accept its own m easure, may be kind ly inclined toward that of the house,
 From a period away back in the M"- Kinley administration bills to e'7

 about to come to a vote have been the subject of bitter debate, or stren- uous advocacy. and of opposition just as strenuous The opposing forces say that the bill will cut the profits of breweries and distilleries of the coun- try more than one-half, and that thou sands of persons will be thrown out of employment. Further they claim that the measure takes away from a man a part of his personal liberty, and that 1t Is close to the line of be- ing unconstitutional.
 The friends of the bill say it's results simply will be to confine the beer of the breweries and the liquor of the distilleries to the field where their sale is legal, and that 1t will not interfere with the personal rights of any man. or woman in any state of the Union. In addition to this. the proponents of the bill say it will pro- mote temperance. and make easier the enforcement of laws in the states
