commerce with mercenary intent. If
the states won't punish the adulterer,
the sentiment which supports the
Mann act ought to be aroused and
directed upon state legislatures, to get
state law to meet the need. Iowa, for
instance, Furnishes adultery only upon
complaint Of the aggrieved wife or
husband. In consequence, indict-
ments and prosecutions for adultery
are few.
The federal government will prose
cute the man for adultery notwith-
standing the wifes attitude, if he has
transported his paramour from one
state ITO another to accomplish the
act. 1t is obvious that the federal
government goes much farther than
the state. That the latter does not go
as far as it should is not reason for
numbering federal courts with police

THE REPORTER.

urday Evening Post entitled "The
Price of Place." gives an interesting
and intelligent characterization of the
reporter to the man in public life. Mr..
Blythe is himself one of the best
known of Washington newspaper men
and understands newspaper reporters
as well as most any man in America.
In the last installment of his story
he makes the wise and friendly sena-
tor give the following wholesome ad
vice to the struggling and ambitious
congressman:
Most public men take wrong
view of the business of the reporter.
They think the reporter comes to
them because he needs them. That
isn't it. The reporter comes to see a
public man because that is the way
he makes his living. He would much
prefer to be having his own fun than
to be chasing after a statesman, who
nine times out of ten he has sized
up to gnat's heel as to his intrinsic
bogusness and his defects and desires.
/ The man who gets along with the
! highly essential newspaper crowd ism t
the man who patroniges them, which
they resent, or the man who affects to
consider them of no consequence in
his career, but the man who meets
them face to face, treats them square
! ~, tells them the truth and doesn't
try to weigh them down with con-
idences. Reporters don't want conf
Dental information. They want stuff
they can print. They are wise. Most
7 of them were here when we came,
and many who are here now will be
here when we gQ They know the
game, and it is hard to deceive them
All you've got to do to be squareIy
treated is to treat them squarely"
This deserving compliment to the
newspaper reporters of today should
inspire them to even greater devotion
to ideals. 1t is the square deal that
wins.

right and that the republican theory
is wrong. It is also ready and will
ing to have the country decide wheth-
er or not its income tax measure is
sound.
The country understands that the
party that supports a high protective
tariff, as announced by the Payne
Aldrich bill, has gained its last vic
tory in many years. If the democrat
ic party has any serious opposition in
the near future, it will come from the
progressive party or from some party
with more moderate views than the
republican party upon the tariff Ques.
ton. The republican party can not
be brought to life again by protract-
ing the debate upon this bill. The
new progressive party is pressing for
ward for hearing. 1t has burned its
bridges behind and has it's bayonets
fixed for the charge, and the reaction
aries cannot drive it back to the rule
of the few.
Confident that this bill represents
an effort made in good faith to re
deem its pledges to the people; that
it is on the right track; that it will
bring relief; that it will help the con
sumner; that it will not injure legiti
mate business; that it will eQualiZe
tax burdens; that it will give oppor
tunity to those now brow-beaten ant
held down by combinations that have
monopolized most of the resources o.

The newspaper reporter needs no
defense. He is fully capable of taking
care of himself in most any sort of an
emergency, but there are all sorts of
opinions of him.
Those who know the reporter for
what he really is and who understand
his mission, like him and cooperate
with him for truth and justice.
Perhaps the least complimentary
view of the reporter IS that of the
ordinary playwright who libels the re-
portorial profession by presenting in
a role of characters a Mr. Chesty
Freshguy, reporter on the Morning
Messenger, or some such character as
that, Juggling a pad as big as himself,
with lead pencil over his ear tilted at
an insolent angle, his hat turned up
in front, clothes very f1ashy and time
devoted to intruding where not wanted
and continually plying annoying ques
tons.
Nothing could be farther from the
reporter as we all know him. Mr.
Frsshguy is not tolerated. He has nc
place in the fourth estate" The av
erage reporter is a gentleman, never
afraid Of long hours of hard work
courteous, courageous, honest, intel
ligent and fascinated by a profession
vrcI gives him the greatest Oppor
tunity in the world to study human
nature, to find the open doors of op
portunity, to understand the necessity
of square-dealing. The reporter o.
/ today who lacks these qualities soor
slips to the bottom of the Journalistic
ladder and stays there if he doesn'
fall off entirely and into some othel

/ inized than is the reporter of today b!

THE MAINE ELECTION.

IHE MAINE
In the congressional election in
Maine, to fill a vacancy, the democratic
nominee was defeated, though he re-
ceived within $50 votes of the number
given President Wilson last fall. The
regular republican ticket won, with
the progressive candidate showing a
loss Of several thousand votes from
Roosevelt figures. Naturally the reg
ular republicans will grasp this straw
as significant sign of progressive dis
Indignation. 1t must be remembered,
however, that Maine was rock-rlbbed
republican stronghold for years and
its part in the progressive movement
was apparently due more to piQue over
the Taft reciprocity act than to con-
version to progressive ideas. Having
accomplished the defeat Of Taft, and
with no deep-seated convictions inter
posing, evidently there were thous'
ands Of republican voters ready TO
drift back to the old f1reside.
President Wilson's supporters
throughout the country will get much
comfort out OF the democratic show
ing. In a factional fight, with local
issues and personal qualities Playing
an important part, the ticket held its
own. This must be accepted as a
strong testimonial Of confidence in his
administration and leaves the quarrel
I between the old and new republican
factions with no appreciate detection
from the Wilson democracy.

THE SENATE AND THE TARIFF BILL.

The democratic majority in the sen
ate, strengthened by the votes of Sen
ators La Toilette, republican, and
Poindexter, progressive. has passed
the tariff revision bill by vote of a.
10 81. The two senators from Loulsl-
una recorded the only democratic
votes against the measure and they
were Influenced only by the sugar
schedule. The senate called for con-
ference with the house committee, and
It Is hoped that there will be no de-
lay in the consideration OF the amend
mems which will prevent the bill be-
coming a law at the earliest possible
date. The vote taken IN the senate is
the beginning of the end OF the special
session. during which congress has
struggled and II2rspired with the tariff
schedule throughout the summer
p months.
q The currency bill Is the only remain.
ing legislation 10 be acted upon at the
. special session OF congress. Consider
alton of this measure will probably be
@ concluded within the next two or three
weeks.
The democratic majority IN congress
is deserving of the confidence and ap
probation of the democratic party, as
well as the American people at large
The democrats in congress are stand
ing firmly by the platform adopted al

4 Congress OF HEALTH, NOT DIS
EASE

With the closing OF the fourth in
ternational congress Of school ny. |
giene, one fact stands out wildly: /
The school hygiene movement has be- ,
come a positive movement for the
advancement OF the health Of the /.
school child, rather than negative
summing uI of disease.
The health emphasis was particu-
larly noticeable in the scientific eX-
hibit held in connection with the con-
gress. Visitors to educational exhi-
billions on hygiene and sanitation do
not need to be told how frequently
these have been of the chamber OF
horrors" variety. There were sur
vivals Of this type in the Buffalo ex
hibits, but for the most part the posi-
tive, sane, normal exhibit was con-
spicuously present. There were Won
derful pictures Of city girls engaged
in outdoor sports and games-the
New York school girls, for instance,
who in their Public Schools Athletic
league illustrates the newer health
spirit Of the hour, the spirit Of whole
some recreation, to which even the
tenement seems to succumb.
The old familiar exhibits Of wan
and carewoTn consumptive children
were replaced in the exhibits with
cheerful pictures Of 'pretuberculous"
youngsters busy in the school Of the
cut-of-doQrs. their faces bright with
the hope Of health, typical of the
knowledge that fresh air and sun
shine can and will drive tuberculosis
from the earth.
There were more illustrations Of
/ healthy teeth than decayed, in the
Buffalo exhibit; there was less en-
phasis on the pitiable condition of bad
/ teeth and more stress on the advan-
/ tages Of good teeth; and above all,
there was the spotless school dental
4 clinic OF Cincinnati and other cities,
with its promise of better, cleaner
mouths for future school children.
/ Exhibits Of the old sort there were
"a few; just as there were few
/ speeches of the kind that were un-
doubtedly necessary in the early days
Of the health movement, to arouse
public sentiment; but the one big cen
trail fact, both in the exhibit and in
the speeches, was that school by
giene is 10 be henceforth considered
from the point Of view OF health, not
disease; that sound bodies, clean
minds, normal development, air and
I sunlight. rational living, education tC
fit for natural productive life, are the
things to be stressed; that It is not sc
much a fight against disease as it i:
fight for health. 1t was almost as
If the delegates Of the nations at Buf
falo had declared to the world:
There are many things to be done;
we know the evils now; let US remedy
where we can: but let US above al
do our best 10 point the way to clean
healthful, normal living for the gen
erations to come"

THE pIGes-CA,INUI-r1 CASES.

The prosecution did not establish IN
the Diggs and Caminetti cases that
the defendants took the prosecuting
witnesses to Reno with intent to CAPT
talize their immortality for mercenary
profit. 1t simply proved that the de-
PENDANTS took the girls there with
intent to commit immoral acts. This
transporting OF the girls from one
state to another is, by the terms OF
the Mann act, interstate commerce.
The Chicago Tribune makes the
point that commerce implies profit
or the motive OF profit They Cthe
defendantsl were the subjects of inter
state commerce. Their motive was
not commercial. 1t was exclusively
within the domain OF morals, the sub
jeot OF the police power"
Is It the desire and the purpose to
use the commercial clause to regulate
morals? IF It is sustained" the Trib-
une says, at will be the furthest ex-
tension Of the commerce clause yet
made" II is the desire OF the Amer
lean people to use all the power at
the command OF the federal govern
ment TO break up merchandising of
virtue in the cause of vice. The peo-
pie are passionately interested in end
ing white slavery as one means of
protecting virtue. But they are not
convinced that Uncle Sam should be
made a policeman to prosecute i'm
moral acts where the woman in the
case is frankly immoral
