The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1914-09-14

In an interesting interview given by Mr..
Walter Bates, Saturday, he pointed out the op-
portunity which now presents itself to American
business interests to secure the rich South Amer
lean market.
But this desirable business is not to be Sc
cured and held with no particular effort on our
parts. This Mr. Bates undoubtedly realized dur
ing his South American visit.
The New York Journal of Commerce, which
grants that South America must supply certain
of it's needs from our store during the war, but
notes that IF we increase our capacity material
ly in lines where European competition has been
too much for us in the past, when that competi-
ton returns, as it is to do, may find our
selves outdistanced again on account of the
cheaper production and lower prices of other
countries" And yet this Journal goes on to say,
there may be incentive for energetic

SELF-RELIANT HOME DOCTOR!

SELF-RELlANT HOME DOCTORS
Is what women are called who all over
this broad land make their annual
collections of roots and herbs, and
rely upon recipes which our pioneer
mothers found dependable for differ
ent family ailments. In one of these
recipes Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound had its origin, and SO sue
cessful has it proved that there is
hardly a city, town or hamlet in
America where some woman has not
been restored to health by its use does
not reside.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
PUNISH THE CADET

Editor Day Book:-I was rather
amused at the article, Meeting
Moral Women" by James Buchanan,
in your issue of June II. 1t is, hard
for even younger men who are not
acquainted to get in touch with re-
fined moral women unless, perhaps,
they work in the same Office or other
place where women are employed. l
can't see though where the lack of
opportunity of working men, who are
single, to get acquainted with re-
spectacle women has very much to
do with the commercialiZed vice
proposition. However, the question
naturally arises as to why single
man like this, who wants to marry,
doesn't marry and open: a path of
virtue to one of these immoral wo-
men whose society he has been
driven into by unavoidable circum-
stances. This is question on which
the vice correspondents Of The Day
Book and other city papers say
nothing. A question of the connec-
ton OF vice with the saloon interests
in politics. ..,
Every woman in this so-caIled I'M
derworld has her lord and master in
a man who beats and abuses her, and
of whom she is always in mortal fear.
When the woman or girls falls into
the hands of one of these fellows
who are more or less tools of the
booze clement thing which they
invariably do-in SO out of 100 cases
she would not and probably could |
not leave him to accept respectable |
position if it was offered her at 500
per week, or to marry James Blu
chanan or the most respectable man
in Chicago. .-. .......
If, when our moral squad makes a
raid, instead of taking the woman |

SAYS THEY NEED HELP

Editor Day Book:-I am very much
interested in your efforts to help the
working classes. There is one class
of working girls and women l haven't
heard from.
That is the chambermaids in the
hotels. think it is high time some
one took an interest in them. They
are certainly in need of some one to
help them get better working condi-
tons.
In the large hotels where they
room and board them, the food is
rotten. And they are forced to spend
most of their small wages for food.
In the smaller hotels, where they get
neither room nor board, they pay
them the misery wages of six dollars
a week, for seven days work and ex-
pect them to clean from thirty-fiVe
to forty rooms or more.
How they expect woman to even
exist on such pay would like to have
them explain. The Inter Ocean Hotel
is one of those places paying that
wage, the Hotel De horde on N Clark
street another, and there are many
more too numerous to mention.
