These are things that we must deal
with if we are to have a rule of the
people. The progressive party be-
lieves that the federal government
should deal with this question. If
it doesn't deal with them, we might
as we'll sit down and admit that we
cannot control them at all. If these
things are not remedied and the pri-
vate encroachments checked, the pri-
vate interests will be the greatest
sufferers because the people believe
they are to rule themselves and they
will win or use force to preserve
their right and private property will
be the first to suffer. We are not
claiming an equality of conditions
but stand for the equality of oppor-
tunity. We seek to improve upon
natural conditions. The means by
which these evils have been brought
about is through the political boss.
No other country has political boss
or a political ring under the control
of a political boss, but these political
bosses and political conventions can
not exist in this country. We are
now able to elect president out not
able to nominate and he hoped that
we should be by another election. He
said that the constitution was made
to be changed whenever the judg-
ment of the people decided that It
should be changed. He could IN
up the progressive movement in a
single word "justice"-justice fOr all
people, He said there is a remedy
for the evils of which we have spok-
en- and it is not a destructive but a
constructive remedy. The capacity
of the people for self-government
has not changed l see a greater
country, greater in material wealth
and in it's distribution the greater
power of the people.

a cure-a1 of vice among women. The
extent OF the social evil and the
testimony made public shows the
dire necessity of a remedy.
But we are not ready to believe
that vice is wholly a financial enter
prise on the part Of women under
paid in legitimate employment. That
many of them are underpaid is a
lamentable fact but it is not an i'm
Polling force into the paths of vice
We say this because vice is by no
means confined to the underpaid. Ii
the curtain could be raised on. peo-
pie of wealth we should find vice
quite as prevalent as among the
poor. The greatest scandals of tho
past decade have been not in the
humble homes of small salaries but
in the circles of palatial homes and
luxurious surroundings on the part
of both sexes.
Much more might be said but we
feel that establishing a wage ac-
cordlng TO what woman feels she
needs would not be beneficial NOR
ally or industrially. If a woman is
entitled to what wages she feels
she needs a man is equally so. But
neither one would make equal de-
mands to supply their needs. One
person will accumulate a compel.
ence on a wage that his next door
neighbor would find painfully mad
equate. No safe standard of needs
could be established. We shall
make much more substantial pro-
gress to continue paying a person
what he makes himself worth tc
the man paying him than to attempt
any utopian scheme of satisfying
the desires of all people regardless
of their just deserts.
