HOLD TO THE POINT AT ISSUE.

One of the greatest difficulties In the world
ts to keep an argument within the lines origi-
nally designed. To hold the two dsputants
70 the point at issue is frequently impossible
case in point is The Viroinidms automatic
statement that It is not fair to force a privilege,
accompanied by innumerable duties upon vast
majority because few wish II. Recently the
Petersburg Indee7A ppeal made the following
statement:
RI there Is but woman in Virginia who
wants to vote and her is entitled to the
privilege, the entire sex should be accorded
II. without the slightest reference TO whether
the rest OF her sex desires it.-Petorsburg In
dex-Appeal
To that The yfr0inian made the obvious reply
that II one woman wanted the privilege and
II because to do so would be to force duties
Upon the hundred thousand who did not want II.
Dur statement was as follows
n one woman wishes to vote one hundred
thousand others should have forced upon them
the duty of doing likewise should be made
ar and half per head. and should be made ell
kibe to hold Office and thereby saddied with

swallowing her pride in the face of the laws of
one of the provinces Of Victoria which exclude

races. 1t quotes F. T. A Fricke. consular
representative of the government Of Victoria,
as saying that the regulations "alow for the
landing of all persons of the European race" but
Armenians Syrians, Arabians and Persians are
not regarded as of the European race. There

KNEELAND MAKES
REPORT ON VICE
GIVES CONDITIONS AS FOUND,
AND WILL LATER SUGGEST
THE REMEDY.

NEW YORK, May 1s.-The bureau
OF social hygiene. of which John d.
Rockefeller. Jr., Is chairman. made
public today Its first report on vice
conditions in New York. The report
is the work Of George J. Kneeland. q
special investigator, and Is based upon
ten months of work in studying COM
mercialized vice in all sections of
Manhattan.
Mr.. Kneeland later will make a re-
port In which he will suggest rene
dies. and possibly fix the responsible
ity for the existing conditions. The
purpose of the present report Is only
to point out the true facts, accord
ing to the investigator.
Mr.. Kneeland expresses the opin-
ion that the girls--and he estimates
that there are fifteen thousand of
them in Manhattan alone-are very
seldom driYen into the life because
Of poverty. Most OF the girls are
victims Of agents of commercialized
vice. he says.
Mr.. KneeIand censures severely
owners of real estate which is used
for vice purposes. The report says
1t is impossible to estimate the earn
ings of the resorts. but that the sums
are so large as to be staggering. The
report discusses the dance hall evil at
length.
The traf7lckers in women are able
to evade the law usually by shrewd-
ness and the use OF money. the re-
port states. 1t says that thirty houses
in the Tenderloin were operated as
a combination for a long time, under
fifteen men.
The report is quite lengthy.

NINA And THE CAT
Being Black the Feline Should
Have Brought Bad Luck,
but Didn't.
BY WALTER JOSEPH DELANEY.


Croft Waddington voted it a blessed
chance that impelled him to spoil a
good suit of clothes indulge in a chill
ing bath and place himself under a
doctors care for a week. 1t was all
for cat, a skinny, homeless, lima
fured black cat. only-Jhe feline had
1eaped into disaster from the soft
graceful arms of the most radiant
young girl Croft had ever seen.
He had been only week at Durham
and was a stranger there. He had
worked too hard for five years for a
great oil concern in the city and had
broken down. Valued and popular,
the giant monopoly had given him two
months salary in advance and a lib
eral bonus and had told him to get out
into the country and build up.
1t was dull at the dead little town
he had come to. At the end of even a
week, however, fresh air, brisk walks.
real cream and home cooking had al
ready begun to restore color to the
cheeks and brightness to the eye Of
the invalid. Else he would not have
been able to perform an extremely
heroic act, at least manly and cour-
.ageous in the eye OF pretty winsome
Nina Vincent
He had come upon her midway on a
rustic bridge crossing a narrow but
deep stream. At a glance Croft saw
that she was in direful distress. She
had been carrying half covered up in
a light wrap the black cat in question.
1t had given a sudden leap for free
dom. The animal missed the rail aimed
for, and with resounding yawl and a
splash struck the water and disap-
peared under it.
There was a vivid scream from the
young lady. To Croft it sounded quite
heartrending. A true knight Fidelis,
he acted on the spur of the moment.
The cat did not seem to have the
strength to struggle. 1t had come to
the surface twice. Croft leaped light
