Inspector in that Case Found
Fault and New Appoint
ment is to be Made.

Washington. June 3o.-Representa-
tive Young Of North Dakota declared
that to enrich their campaign fund,
the Democrats are violating the prin-
ciples Of the civil service law and re-
moving Republican postmasters to re-
place them by Democrats.
He believes 1t Is being done in large
Offices as we'll as smaller ones. and
that order No. III recently issued by
Postmaster General Burleson, was
framed for this purpose.
Too Much Power For Inspectors
Postmaster General Burleson has
issued order No. III under which
postofffce inspectors have gone about
the country and by means of trivial
and technical faults in postofices
have made reports to the department
that have resulted in the removal Of
Republican incumbents," said Mr..
Young today.
81 have not seer this order. but I
have been given the substance of 1t,
and I know that it gives the inspectors
the greatest latitude in making their
inspections. and they have filed re-
ports Of technical violations of the
regulations on which recommends
lions for the remova of Republican
postmasters were based.
Cites Valley City Case
1.-THE most glazing instance Of the
violation OF the spirit Of the civil SER
vice principles announced by Presi-
dent Wilson has been at Valley City.
POSTMASTER W. H. Pride is serving
under a commission that does not ex-
pire until 1915, and yet I am inform
ed that his removal has been recon
mended by an inspector. There was
not a single objection to Mr.. Pride's
continuing in office for his full four
year term from a Democrat in Valley
City and the Democrats there had talk
en- 1t for granted that the office
would not be at their disposal for two
years. Yet the chairman Of the coun-
ty committee was asked the other
day to submit a recommendation for
postmaster.

Chicago-That the investigations Of
the Illinois vice committee and of
other similar bodies have disclosed a
close relationship between low wages
and the social evil Is the opinion Of
Mrs. Raymond Robins, the we'll known
social worker.
Ihat there is commercialized vice
we all know" declares Mrs. Robins,
and that it sends it's representatives
into the days work of factory and
store we also know. But it should be
definitely understood that there are
girls by the tens Of thousands who
have maintained the integrity of their
womanhood in the face of great per-
sonal suffering and s~elf-sacriice, as
we'll as in the face Of grave tempta-
ton.
II know girls who have entered a
saloon because they could get a bowl
Of soup as we'll as a glass Of beer for
five cents. I know other girls who
never think Of spending money for
these girls by the tens Of thousands

Although Mrs. Robins comes of a
wealthy family - the Dreiers of

is the wife of Raymond Robins, a
leading Chicago lawyer, she insists

her life, to the service Of working
women. -.
She took up public work at a very
early age and at twenty-one was
treasurer Of the Brooklyn training
school for nurses. 1t was through
her experience there that she saw the
best way to deal with bad conditions
was to prevent them. She found tina:
much of the sickness coming under
her observation was the result of poor
food and poor food was the result of
the low wage.
She was one Of the founders Of the
municipal league of New York and
chairman Of its legislative committee
in 1904. In this capacity she was
active in securing the enactment of
legislation licensing and regulating
employment agencies in order to pro-
tect young girls.
