MRS BURDETTE CALLS
THINGS RIGHT NAMES
UNITED PRESS IBAsED wIRE.1

Pasadena, Cal, Feb. 2S.-Pasadena
society leaders are gasping today over
plain truths handed to them by Mrs.
Bob" Burdette, regarding their re-
sponsibility to working women. Here
are a few things Mrs Burdette said
to the exclusively fashionables of
Altadena Womans Circle:
"The average self-respecting wage
Garner must pay for her home and
clothe herself. She must receive an
average of SO a week to do this. But
the average wage Garner receives
just $4.99 a week. Where do they get
the difference.
"The department store workers are
underpaid, but they must make a good
appearance, or they cannot hold their
positions. The woman who walks
the aisles Of the store is more often
responsible for the downfall of the
girl behind the counter than she is
aware. For 1t Is the fashion she dis
plays that tempts the girl to initiate
her. Women should not wear cos
tunes designed for wear to afternoon
or evening functions in the stores
where they shop
"out of curiosity one day, I fol-
lowed girl, gaudily dressed, with
seven ostrich plumes in her hat, and
that girl went behind a counter in a
department store, where she received
small wages. These girls only dress
in this manner because they see wo-
men looking as they would like to
look. The woman who shops dressed
in an afternoon costume for social
function is more often to blame for
the. downfall Of the working girl than
the young man who furnishes the
money for her to ape her richer sis
ter.
"The idle shopper Is another cause.
The girl who sells articles must work
swiftly and be polite to a number of
unreasonable women. There are 9TH
ers, however, than the shop girl.
There are fruit packers out here.
They have only occasional employ
ment, but immortality is prevalent in
the camps that last but a few weeks.
The minimum wage, however, should
be adjusted to the individual girl, as
1t is possible many times for one per-
son to live cheaper than another"

.GAYNOR THE FUNNIEST
THING IN AMERICA

New York, Feb 2S.-Asked today
what he considered the funniest thing
he had seen in New York, Professor
Henry Bergson, of the University Of
Paris unhesitatingly replied
why, your mayor, William j. Gay
nor"
Here Bergson shook with laughter
and continued:
Thirty years of studying and try.
ing had not taught me how to laugh,
until l came to New York. l would
advise all 'solemncholy' persons to
come here and just follow Gaynor's ac-
tions. read the papers every day to
see what Mayor Gaynor is doing, so l
can laugh"
Bergson refused to specify any one
action of the mayor that he considered
particularly funny.

At THE PLAYHOUSES
A Drama In the Air

The struggle Of two aviators for the
heart and hand Of a beautiful girl.
She offers her love to the winner OF
a race in the sky. But one man stoops
to a foul advantage, tampers with the
aeroplane of his rival and then pre-
pares to win the race and the girl.
The contest of skill and endurance
begins and as the machines whirl
through the air you watch them,
breathlessly waiting for the crash that
is imminent. Suddenly the machine
stops stock-stlll, then drops like a
thunderbolt to the earth. The aviator
is found seriously injured, but still
clutching a rose, the token of his
loved ones regard.

No process is so fatal as that
which would cast all men in one
mold. Every human being is
intended to have a character Of
his own, to be what no other is
to do what no other can do. Our
common nature is to be unfolded
in unbounded diversities. 1t is
rich enough for infinite manifes-
tations. 1t is to wear innumer.
able forms of beauty and glory.
Every human being has a work
to carry on within, duties to
perform abroad, infunces to
exert, which are peculiarly his
and which no conscience but his
own can teach. - (Channing.

A Word to Senator James.

The Times has the kindliest of
feelings for Senator James.
Hence the regret that, as tie
only Democratic Senator from
Kentucky, he should have en-
barked on the indefensible
crurse of assuming to exercise
his own judgment in recon-
merding appointments to such
Federal offices as are now va
cant in the State.
What Mr.. James should have
done, if we may trust the die
tum of an eminent authority on
this question, was to turn the
whole matter over to one of the
prospective candidates for the
Senate at the election to be held
in November, 1914 and 70 a GER
tain editor, who has trafficked
with every party in the hope of
securing patronage, only TO have
his advice rejected and his. wish
disregarded by all.
Of course, Mr.. James may ar
que in support of his action that
he is but following PRECEDENT in
the exercise of the right of
choice which his place as a
Democratic Senator gives him
with a Democratic administra-
ton. Precedent and right, how
ever, have nothing to do with
the case. Necessity knows no
law. And the necessity of his
advisors is dire.
If Mr.. James would have their
good will. he must at once turn
over to them the leaves and
fishes which they have so long
and vainly sought. True, one
of them is a political harlot and
the other may never be Senator.
But think, Senator James, how
happy the power of distribution
would make them!-Louisvill e.

rency the country swung to the
other extreme,
AS a result of the 1896 cam
paign Washington moved to
Wall street and Wall street be-
came the capital of the United
States. The Government was
frankly and conically admins
tered for the profit Of Privilege.
Plutocracy became as arrogant
and despotic as slavery. If Wall
street wants legislation. the
legislation was enacted. If Wall
street wanted laws suspended.
those laws were suspended. If
certain governmental polio e S
meant dividends for Big Bust
ness, those policies were adopted.
If Wall street wanted to exploit
the resources of the country.
those resources were placed at
its disposal.
The very expression stand
pat" was coined by Mark Hanna
to encourage the Republican ma
chine to resist the public demand
for honest tariff revision, and it
soon became a battle cry against
every assault upon public abuses
and public wrong. From the
Dingley act to Dollar Diplomacy,
every evil that helped to bring
about the final wreck of the Re-
publican party had it's origin in
the unholy alliance that Hanna
established between the Govern
ment and Wall street.
Mr.. Bryan can take pardon
able pride in the death of stand
pattism. for Mr.. Bryan is a very
fortunate man. He has lived to
retrieve the mistakes of his past.
His free silver campaign drove
the country to Plutocracy, but
his battle for progressive De-
mocracy in 1912 emancipated it.
To his efforts the country owes
the nomination of Mr.. Wilson
for President and the effective
realization of the new policies
that have taken the United
States Government out of the
hands of Wall street. Without
William j. Bryan we should have
had no Woodrow Wilson. Mr..
Bryan's case is unique. There
is no other instance in American
history in which a statement
atoned so brilliantly and so ben
efficiently for his blunders. New

Lost Mules And Corn

fusal of Robert Gibson, of the
Alley country, that his corn and
mules were lost, an account
which was published in Tuesday
Cleaner.
Captain Soaper said that one
of his boats had been in that
section and that the man had
been advised to load his stock
and corn on the boat. Captain
Soaper told him he would do the
work for the man free of charge.
How am l going to feed my
stock? Nav sir. am going to

Consequently Gibson lost nine
mules and 5000 bushels of corn
and was rescued from his own
house a short time before it is
