Some have spoken of this as the
backboneless age in America, and al
lege that as one of the prime reasons
for the common mass of humanity
being eaten up so ruthlessly by the
money kings of the country. Tom
Lawson, methinks it was who used
caustically to speak of his American
fellowcitizens, as jellyfshes, because
he saw how easily they were punch
ed about by those who set on the
circle of power III politics and COM
MERGE. How far the Indictment
rings true is hard to calculate. but
we and each of us can contribute our
humble part for its contradiction by
standing out as men and women of
fearless purpose in this life commit
ted to the best policies to promote a
wholesome national life.

It's very cruel thing for those
who enjoy power to be disposed to
crush those less fortunate. Christ
warned US of this disposition in
man S makeup in the parable of the
unjust steward who after being for
gwen himself by the Lord went out
and began to beat those in their turn
indebted to him. Those who expect
merciful treatment should themselves
practice dispensing it.

National attention has been at
tracted to the revelations brought
out by the commissions in the sever
al large cities in the North investi-
eating the pay of working girls,
which low wages it alleged is one of
the fostering causes OF SO many going
wrong. 1t is contended and we
heartily believe from what we have
seen and read and know of existing
prices of living, that numbers and
numbers of girls are employed at
wages which is is impracticable for
them to live upon and enjoy any of
even the small admissible pleasures
OF life, hence so many of them yield to
the persuasiOns of their would be
traducers and choose the easier
way" Of adding to their income. It's
national shame that such conditions
are tolerated and we are glad to see
the public conscience awakening. to
the need OF Iegislating a minimum
wage for girls and women. The
great department stores and factories
employ these girls and women be-
cause its cheap labor to them. but
its not cheap to the state. if their in
comes have to be supplemented at
the price of their virtue. No nation
can thrive which sacrifices the honor
of its women upon the altar Of COM
merce or any other altar that would
consume that most sacred treasure,
and we trust that America will sus-
tain her reputation In this as in
other great crisises, Of properly pro
tecting her citizenship against such
crying evil.

President Wilson'S influence is en-

houses, to be a potent factor in the
shaping of legislation through the ex-
ira session. The president has taken
an active part in the preparatory
work on the tariff bill, and will keep
in close touch with the senate and
house through the consideration of
the tariff, currency, or other subjects
that may be taken up during the SEES

Length Of Session Uncertain.
The probable length of the session
that begins today is uncertain. Ac-
tual work upon tariff revision proba-
bly, will begin tomorrow, with the
consideration of the Underwood bill
by the democratic house members, in
caucus. Within a week it is expected
that the tariff debate will be in full
swing in the house. Senate leaders
do not expect the completion Of tariff
work before late in July. Should
currency reform also be taken up at
the present session, congress probably
will remain at work until autumn.
