What the ancients of the republic
can party in this state desire is for
prOgressiVes to return to the fold in a
meek and lowly attitude and TO sit
with folded hands and approving
cOuntenances while the ancients go
forth and nominate for all important
places men whose course helped to
bring about the split in the party in
1912. This is what they would con-

it looked as though the republicans

fights that are coming up for places

ovrRLnADED WITH GLOOM.

That international Purity congress
must have felt mighty gloomy when ii
tied on its nightcap and crept into
bed at san Francisco. IL had listened
10 a speech by Miss Mary Brown, SUI
perintendent Of curfew of the National
W. G.. T. L., and Miss Brown was
sure burdened with gloom. She an
nounced that this country has almost
10000 openly immoral women and
probabIv a greater number Of clandes-
timely immoral ones, among them
numbers of school girls. The ages
run from 10 to 90 and the mentality
from imbecnity to intellectual bril-
Hancy, and the women represent every
class in life, even the church-going.
As If this were not enough TO make
every pure man in the congress quake
in his boots. Miss Brown added:
If the vast army Of women
should 60 out Of existence, scarce
a month would pass before II
would be replaced by recruits.
This is a pretty blue view of fem
mime chastity. If nearly a million
women stand ready TO enlist in the
army Of the unchaste and stay out be
cause the ranks are filled, the i'm
potency Of a Purity congress is appar-
ent. but these premises are entirely
false. Not one woman in million
remains chaste solely because there
are too many of the unchaste. 1t
would be decidedly tough 20 have to
believe that chastity is negative
rather than a positive virtue. To so
believe would be to wipe out such
things as self-respect. loyalty, love OF
the good and all regard for decency
on the part of men as we'll as women
Miss Brown may be perfectly love
" superintendent of curfew. We'd
scoot for bed at her call of curfew as
quickly as at anybody's call. but we
can't put her forward as one who COM
pliments her sex for it's general virtue
or as an able bodied comforter.
And after Miss Brown came Rev.
Albian Smith of Madison, Wis, who
told the congress that:
When men begin TO realize that
wOmanhOod's greatest charm is
located above her chin. only then
viii our ideals be true.
The case is hopeless. Men who at
all understand women will unanimous
~ vote that her greatest charm is be-
low her chin-it's her heart. Beauty
fades or becomes mOnOtOnOus. The
same is true of intellectual brilliancy
in the majority of cases. A noble
heart in woman is a perpetual, ever
beautiful JOY and Inspiration. 1t is
the most charming, the most precious
of jewels, beside which most of her
other charms are tinsel or imitation.
