practical results, be worse than low
wages. We have no quarrel with any
body who tries honestly to better the
condition of working people and Sc
cure for them just shares of the re-
suits of their labor. There is seri- |
Gus objection to the methods of this
investigation, as there is to preceding
inquiries and publications along the
same line.
People who know human nature and
something of the world know that not
one woman in a thousand deliberately
adopts vice as a means of livelihood or
would seek that method of averting
starvation. To do so would be con-
trary to all a woman's instincts, to
say nothing of her training, self re-
spect and consideration for her own
safety and welfare. We have limited
in remarks by the Chicago investiga-
tors and by some of the other investi-
gators and writer's that girls-are driv-
en- wrong by lack not only of food and
clothes, but of amusement and recre-
alton. 1t would be interesting to know
from these philanthropists what they
regard as the wage limit of virtue. If
a girl is not expected to be good at
SIS a week, might We look to see her
a model of propriety and department
at IS and beyond the reach of all pos
sible temptations at $12?
1t is an atrocious and vicious, if
unintentional, libel on the working
women of this country to suggest that
they must be paid to be virtuous and
well behaved. 1t is frightfully peril
GUS to drill into the public mind the
suggestion that women who do not re-
ceive certain standard of wages are
to be excused, if not justified, for en-
tering upon a disreputable life. II
would be equally just and safe to i'm
ply that the man clerk who does not
earn a stated amount week is likely
to rob the till and entitled to sympa
thy when he does it.
Where there is wrong it should bt
righted, if righting be possible. Where
there is oppression it should be lifted
-. if the law can reach it. We owe tt
the fallen woman of any class pity ant
what help we can give regardless o
n the causes and motives of her SHINING

Mayor McNulty Says Everything Is

Mayor McNulty informs The News
that unless something unexpected
happens to delay it Dawson will have
day current by April 1st.
The work of installing the new
machinery that was bought for the
electrict light plant mas about been
finished, and all that remains to be
done is to run another wire from the
plant to the business section of the
city and make some connections. The
wire for this purpose has been or
dered
When the day current is turned
on all OF the incandescent lights now
on streets in different sections of the
city will be cut out.
The council has not yet fixed the
rate that will be charged for day
current. but the mayor says it will
be the same as prevails in other
towns. and will be cheap enough to
warrant its use as power by the
smaller enterprises of the city.

GoRGAS PLANS PEST WAR.
Back From Guayaquil With Scheme
For Cleaning Port.

Washington. Colonel William c. Cor
gas, head of the sanitary work in the
Panama canal zone, has presented rec
concentrations for the sanitation Of
Guayaquil, Ecuador, known for many
years as the "pesthole of the Pacific
to Secretary Knox. Colonel Gorgas
said:
Il found conditions at Guayaquil sim
liar to those which we met at Havana
when we went there some years ago
to rid it of fever and infection. There
seems to be no reason why Guayaquil
cannot be made as safe harbor from
a health point of view as any other.
The people there realize the Importance
of cleaning up if they want to enjoy
the benefits to be derived from the
commerce of the canal.
THE city has partial water supply,
and the first thing it needs is pipe
line giving a fresh, pure water supply.
| found in the hospitals seventy cases
of plague, and this would disappear
with the yellow fever if better santa
ton were secured.
"Guayaquil," added Colonel Gorgas,
'Is in a strategic position, being the
only port in Ecuador to get a large
trade from the surrounding upland
country. which is thickly populated
and rich in resources that will make
commerce."
