BOTH UNJUST AND INSULTING.
We hope the legislature will take
no course, following the lead of the
Illinois vice commission, that will in
suit the womanhood of Minnesota by
the animation that it's virtue is de-
pendent upon the amount of money it
has or earns. 1t may be an admirable
thing to inquire into the wage ques-
ton and to determine whether the
woman workers generally are paid liv-
ing wages; to ascertain whether work.
ing girls are undergrad simply because
they are girls; to disclose whether
minimum wage for women will or will
not work to the benefit of all con-
cerned. These are economic questions
and involve problems which must be
solved. But there is something revolt
ingly hideous in the theory that the
pay of a girl in a store factory is
the line between her chastity and I'M
chastity. 1t charges the womanhood
of the race with being virtuouS only II
it can afford it. Why not inquire into
the pay of the men clerks upon the
theory that only those are honest who
receive above a certain weekly COM
pensation? The Chicago probe has
carried the insult to the girls, why not
continue it to the young men, with the
assumption that the commandment,
Thou shalt not steal" excludes from
its operation all those below a certain
fixed level of pay? It really is a mat
ter of surprise that the good woman
hood of the nation has not risen in
protest to this wanton sacrince of rep
utation. Sentiment has become sadly
confused in this investigation. and
some otherwise excellent people have
made a mistake. Do not let us repeat
it in Minnesota.-St. Paul Dispatch.
