sears-Roebuck catalogue

A sears-Roebuck catalogue ap-
peared at our office last week. It
cbame like Poe's raven-uninvited
and unsolicited. The only thing
that it brought was food for thought.
In 1912 the Sears-R oebuck cor
poration earned 100000, making
a surplus of $12,oOo,0O0 at the end of
that year. The profit was made by
underpaid girls, whose sole means of
livelihood is the revenue received
from positions paying little better than
starvation wages and when com
plant is made they are advised to
employ their evening hours. Over the
length and breadth of this land of the

men who support such an institution
Lieut. Gov. O'Hara, chairman of the
Senate white slave investigation com.
mittee, said "that in Chicago and othe
Illinois cities girls work ten hours a
day and work hard for the pittance
of $3.50 a week. Think it over
you people who think that next to the
Bible the Sears-Roebuck catalogue
comes first in the list Of books for the

BEST AGE FOE MARRIAGE.

Prof. Dallas Lore Sharp Of Boston,

Is is the best age for men to marry.
Professors, every now and then, have
to say things like this. Similar things

figuring out by law Of averages just
when man and woman should hitch
up to get the best results. And any
man who wants to take their advice
can do so, and it won't cost him any.

It will be safe to lay q small bet

THE WEBB LAW.

Attorney General McReynolds has
notified United States attorneys
everywhere that, the Webb law which
is designed to prohibit the shipment O:
Intoxicating liquors into prohibition
territory, but not criminal statnte
under the federal law, and that there.
fore violations Of the statute cannot
be taken cognizance Of by representa-.
tives Of the department Of justice.
The attorney general points out that
the Webb act forbids shipments of Ii.
quors into prohibition territory, but
provides no penalty for the offense.
The act remains the law, but is an ex-
ception to the general rule that a
criminal law without a penalty is
powerless and as good as no law.
Notwithstandin the fact that fed
eral officials will not actively aid in
the enforcement of the Webb law. it
is nevertheless true that opponents OF
the liquor traffic have scored a sub.
stantial victory in securing the enact.
ment Of the law, for the protecting
cloak Of interstate commerce has been
removed from the traffic in prohibition
territory.
This means that unlawful shipments
Of liquors becomes subject to state
or county municipal ordinance as soon
as they cross into dry territory, and
may be siezed without coming into
contact with the interstate buzz-saw.
Had the Webb law provided q pen.
atty and thus have brought it within
the purview Of the federal courts, it
would have been q much more power
full weapon in keeping out the ship
ment of liquors into dry territory.
Uncle Sam has such winning way in
dealing with violators Of his laws that
the whole liquor fraternity has q
wholesome respect for a federal stat.
ute.
But as it is the state now has tho
opportunity to strictly enforce its laws
and the shipments Of liquor will not
have that old protector
commerce.-Fargo Forum.
