MORALS \ WAGES.

Vice commissions in Philadelphia.
New York and Chicago have, in one
respect. done more harm than good.
They have been tho means of Great
ing: on epidemic Of nauseating plays
and novels. The white slave topic
is being done to death by producing
dranlatists and by publishers of fie-
ton, says the Memphis Commercial
Appeal.
The purpose of these commissions
was.sostensibly for the good Of hui
manity, but there is an old German
proycrb which Acknowledges us that we
cannot rake muck without rsking a
stencil. and the books and plays to-
day which are the outgrowth Of these
Investigations have had 9 most de.
plorable effect upon the general pub
lie taste.
But there has been another serious
error made, that is that the moral
conduct of o girl is dependent upon
tho wages she receives. There are
instances where 1neager wages and
heafMadon1estic demands have caused
gir,sS.to stray from the better way
"f liking. but there can be found in
every community girls who work for
starvation wages and they would rath-
CT ffarEe than lose the priceless jewel
/: virtue.
Neither the moral nor the material
welfare of society can possibly be
served by the false pleading i'll the
exploitation of low wages for women
and girl workers AS the chief contri-
buttng cause Of the social evil. There
a be NO. ssQuat!on written between
wages and virtue, whether Of men or
Of women. The beginnings Of tho
downward path arc far more often
the easy way Of pleasure than the
hard and rugged road Of necessity.
There are girls who naturally prefer
the roses and raptures Of vice thar
the safety and peacefulness .f limo
n
Want does not drive such a girl to
do wrong. 1t i. her disinclinatien to
work. to submit to the deprivations
of poverty and who feels that the eas.
lest way is the best way. 1t is only
q matter Of a. very. few years when
She discovers the awful mistake she
has made. She may in tho end re-
pent and try to retrace her falterink
steps along the easy road, but there
is a scar which Fan never lie healed,
The girl who struggles along the road
called straight will be the better off
in the end.
The problem Of women's wages can.
not be ignored. Her status in the
labor market must be determined. not
only that she may be Justly compeu-
stated. but that the masculine worker
shall not be subjected to unfair and
unequal competition. Tho problem
is q dihicult n n it's solution must
recognise practical as we'll as theo-
retical lines.

BOARD HOLDS
 BUSY SESSION
Charter Commission Dis cusscs Proposed Basic Law for City for Three Long Hours Last Night Work Carefully Done

The first actual business session of the board of freeholders, whose duty is to frame d charter for the city of Phoe- nix which will confer the advantages of the commission form of government on the city, adjourned last evening close to eleven o'clock with the Ques- tion of the salaries of the proposed commissioners still under discussion. The committee had reached that far in the deliberations on the charter.
 The question is, shall the mayor un- der the proposed form of government be paid $3600 per year, and the com missioners $3000 each, or shall the sal ary be placed at a lower rate than that. Both questions had it's advocates and several good speeches were made by members of the board before the time of adjournment arrived. The question was left unsettled. and will be the first order of the meeting on Friday night next.
 A style revision and compilation committee was appointed to which will be submitted all propositions of the charter for review and compilation be fore the final draft of the charter is made. The membership of the com mittee is J. I. F. Alexander. Judge J. IT. Kihbey and Frank IT, Trott
 The work of the board is being done very carefully, and every proposition is being thoroughly discussed before ii iS passed. This has made the progress slow. but nevertheless sure Ii is the hope of the board that the new char ter will be away and ahead better than any former draft of a charter. Begin ming at the preamble last evening upon tn" charter that Was rejected by Gov onor Hunt every phrase was read carefully and fully discussed alterations were made where they Were thought to he needed. and all possible conflicts with the constitution and the laws of the state were considered The session opened shortly after o'clock and con tiuued in session until eleven.
