Approves of Chaperons.


 .<N WAS especially interested in your et talk on chaperons, and as you in-
 vited letters on the subject from
 young girls, l am taking advan-
 tage of the invitation to tell you I Iagree with you. Some of my girl friends call me straitlaced and say I have too many old world notions not only about chaperons but also because I will not allow any man, no matter how well l know him. to call me dear or pet names. I am an American girl, born of American parents, and although they may have been rather strict with me. I have always been permitted fair amount of liberty and my friends are always well come in my home.
 e. do not think school children should be allowed to go without cir haperons any more than their grown sisters. A girl friend or a small child and I often go to the movies in the afternoon or to park unchaperoned with our mothers consent. and we are never annoyed or talked about by people, But will never consent to 20 on an outing or to party unless know that an older sister or matron will be there.
 Also, my boy friends may call when mother Is at home. She does not insist upon this. but l feel more comfortable when she is with me to start the ball rolling. The boys all like her Of course she does not care to spend her entire time with us, but we all want her when she can be present. Maybe am strait1aced. but can't help thinking that usually enjov myself better than the girls who have no restraints. x''
 It is gratifying that all the communica- tions I have received from girls on this subject of chaperonage have taken the same turn. To my mind it speaks well for the American girl. Sometimes she is called loud and careless. but Judging from the letters which have been occasioned by my talk on chaperons she looks at such matters from what might be termed . sane and safe viewpoint. Evidently the girls who wish unlimited freedom with out regard to appearances have not writ ten or do not read the Corner.

A SHAMEFUL RECORD
OF CARELESSNESS
Such Is Charge Laid az the Door of
National Democracy.

Washington, Sept 21.-'The Demo
Gratis have made a shameful record of
carelessness in the enactment of special
pension bills. and will have a lot to
answer for"
This vigorous protest was uttered by
a Grand Army veteran who recently ar
rived early in Washington to attend
the annual eDcampment next week.
"A number of my comrsdes for
whom special pension bills had been
passed died in want" said this old
soldier. They did not receive their
| special pension because the Democrats
had made errors in the wording of the
special laws, and death came before
| the errors were corrected.
Examination of the special pension
legislation by the Democrats furnishes
a scathing indictment of shocking in
efficiency.
Scarcely an omnibus pension bill has
| been passed since the Democrats came
into power that is not honeycombed
with mistakes which blocked the pay
ment of pensions to old soldiers.
These mistakes could haye been
avoided by the exercise of the simplest
degree of ordinary care. In some in
stances when the bills were drafted the
name of the soldier was misspelled or
the wrong initials were given. In
others the name was correct but an
error was made in describing the COM
pany in which he served; and in other
cases name and company were right,
but the regiment of the soldier was
| wrong.
Either error was fatal to the pay
ment of the pension Congress had
| awarded, because the bill did not exact
ly correspond with the official records of
the pension office. The Commission
was therefore unable legally to put the
name of the soldier on the pension
| rolls.
When the pension officials discovered
| these errors they were reported to the
| Invalid Pensions Committees of the
House and Senate. Attempts were
| then made to correct the faulty laws by
the passage of joint resolutions in which
the mistakes were described and rectifi-
ed. But their passage was delayed for
weeks and months, and even then some
Of the corrections were inaccurate.
Meanwhile death was thinning the
ranks of the old soldiers at rate esti-
mated above forty thousand a year,
with the result that large percent
age of the veterans in whose behalf the
laws were enacted died without receiv-
ing the recognition which their govern
ment had declared was due them.
In striking contrast to this Demo
cratic record, the history of special
pension legislation under Republican
rule shows that errors of this sort rarely
If ever occurred.

WHITE ROWDIES
DISTURB INDIAN
CHURCH MEETING

( ALDERTON, Sept. IA. - A
crowd of rowdies entered relig-
ious meeting Of Indians here yes
.terday, and created Nuisance by
scraping their feet and making
remarks. They wore their hats
and smoked. After several had
been put out, they got reinforce
ments and battered the door in.
The constable dispersed the
gang. Then an Indian worshiper,
in the purest English, made an
appeal to the white people. saying
that the Red Men wanted to live
Christian lives, using the pale
faces as examples. But he could
not understand why the white
man insisted on breaking up their
meetings.

matter of fact "The Two Or

the few really worth while motion
picture productions ever seen in
Tacoma. SO adroitly are the
thrilling situations worked out,
and so artistically are the eli

Wisconsin Savant
-PRor. EDWARD A. ROSS.

A remarkable lecture on Surface
tendencies in American society"
was given by Prof. Edward A. Ross,
OF the University OF Wisconsin. be-
fore the Twentieth Century club.
Thursday afternoon.
According to Prof. Ross, the most
important and far-reaching event in
the United States since the aboli-
tion of slavery was the ending OF
the frontier. II meant the closing
OF the zone OF opportunity for the
young man of America and created
class lines which had never before
existed in the largest part Of our
country.
The west was the foster mother Of
American spirit. and the character
Of the people depended largely upon
their conquest of It. This spirit or
iginated In the Ohio valley where
great public parties and all that is
most radical were born. As the
emigration was forced farther and
farther owing TO the lavish exploita-
ton Of nature the opportunities de-
creased until 20 years ago when the
frontier became thing OF the past.
The individualistic spirit bred by
the independence given man by the
west has been thrown back upon
itself and II is due to the impossible
ity OF this same manhood cramping
itself into the regulations and auto.
cratic policies of organizations that
we now have our labor troubles. II
is owing to II also that we are an.
nually losing "A half million OF free.
born Americans who go over the
border into Canada. The east Is

ciples. to revolt.

which confront the young man oi

tions have so changed that while In

mated by rural soul. we are now
