The Difference
ROY X. MOULTON,

Inc sun shines brightly every day,
The robin chirps his merry lay.
Ihere is smile on every face;
rms world seems like heavenly place
Whate er you touch turns into gold;
Your blessings could ne'er be told.
Your friends crowd round to grasp your
hand.
me fellowship is simply grand.
Ihey shout your name in glad acclaim.
And cheer you on the road to Fame.
You could not stop them if you would,
when you are maxim good.
The grim old clouds hang dark and low;
You don't see smiles where'er you go
You cannot hoard the sordid cash.
Whateer you touch turns into trash.
The crowds of friends don't gather round
And fill the air with joyful sound.
They do not pat you on the back ~
And greet you with a friendly whack.
At least that's how 1T always seems.
You feel just like useless lout
When you are down and out.

one OF tne social reformers i'm Ne

One of the social reformers in New
York has encountered a difficulty in
the minimum wage remedy. He wrote
a play advocating minimum wage
for shop girls of 50 a week. Either
for that reason or for some other
three New York stores adopted that
minimum. 1t was an excellent thing.
he said, for the girls who were worth
the money; but many of the girls
were not. and they got discharged.
The result of the So minimum wage
in their case was that, instead of get
ting $6 or sS, they got nothing.

FROM OTHER PENS
A FOOLISH SUGGESTION.

Members of the Illinois vice COM
mission, now on tour of the East,
advocate the whipping post as a rem
edy for the evils which they are so
vigorously stirring. Maybe this pen
atty would fit the crime, but the
chances are that the first practical
demonstration would excite the hor-
ror of those who propose it. The
whipping post is at this time an in
stitution of the state of Delaware, and
every time the lash is applied a wave
of indignation sweeps the country, and
the little state is pointed out as the
one spot on the map where barbarism
and cruelty are legalized.
This country will not tolerate the
whipping post as punishment for
crime. The penalties now authorized
by law are not enforced vigorously
enough, and until they are it is fool
ish to talk about recalling the savage
methods of the past, thus opening up
another opportunity for resisting the
law. Those who violate the law find
it too easy to escape as it is, and a
severer remedy would result in great
er opposition.
The indignation of the Illinois vice
commission is merely temporary. Af-
ter the mem bers get home and take
time to cool down they will be among
the first to condemn a movement to
restore the whipping post.-Pittsburg

Once more every seat in the United
States senate is occupied The Demo-
Gratis have a majority of six. They
now are in undisputed control of the
government machinery and it is hoped
they will make better use of their op-
portunity than they did under similar
conditions twenty years ago.

COURTS AND WOMEN.

Our courts are becoming domesticated.
Family troubles in the past were not often
aired outside the home. An elderly uncle
or aunt was called in and they settled the
differences between Mary and John tact
fully and with dignity. Where there were
no relatives there were always faithful
neighbors who acted as peacemakers.
A boy caught stealing apples a genera
ton ago was not taken before a judge,
but to his fathers house, and there the
stern parent administered punishment
with the bed slat.
It is not so today. The courts of our big
cities are daily brought in touch with init
mate family affairs. Women and chill
dren are coming to be a considerable frac-
ton of our court public. The changing
population of the court requires change
in the court mechanism-a change that
would suit the needs of the women and
children who seek redress there. The sug-
gestion for women judges or assistants to
Judges in those courts where young girls
and children are brought exclusively does
not seem very revolutionary in view of
this approach of the fireside by the courts.

KANSAS CONNENT
LAW AND FASHION.


An Ohio statesman has done what he
could to protect women from the back
bone of winter and the bad mans eye; he
has introduced measure in the legis-
lature of that conservative common
wealth demanding that the so-called gen
tier sex wear more clothes, and that such
as they do wear shall not be done in
swiss cheese pattern, or built On glove
fitting plan. LoOser raiment and moie
of it is his slogan with a lid provided
for the pleasing peekaboo. 1t is doubtful
that lis measure will get beyond the COM
n1ittee room. or that the women would
pay any attention to it, even should it
console himself that, he did his derndesr,
which is all anyone has right to expect.
Fashions in feminine finery doubtless
offer ample room for improvement from a
common sense point of view, although
that isn't the way they are usually
viewed, either by opponents admirers.
Still. their admirers doubtless take "A
saner view than such opponents as this
w1ld eyed legislator who sees his state
and country heading for hades with the
narrow-gauge and open-work apparel of
women as the motive power. There is an
ancient tradition that woman fashions
her glad rags to please the men, and to
degree this may be true, although subject
to reasonable doubt, as the barristers say.
OF course a smart man changes his mind
but he doesn't change it so frequently
and regularly as the fashions are changed.
Besides which, he hollers his head off
about some atrocities which receive the
official o. K. of Paris and the L. H. J.
Yet for all the faults or beauties he
sees in fashion, man pays considerable
attention to woman, regardless of raj
ment. If the peach is satisfactory the
type of basket doesn't matter so much.--
