Women Of Underworld
Storm Methodist Church
Ask Pointed Questions

| San Francisco, Jan. 26.--Three hun
| dred women of the underworld at noon
Wednesday afternoon marched in a
| body to the Central Methodist church
and hurled at Rev. Paul Smith, the pas
| tor, this question::
"What will the persons who are try
| ing to close the uptown tenderloin' in
San Francisco do to obtain employment
for the women and girls who will be
| deprived of a means of livelihood as a
result of the crusade2'
Rev. Mr.. Smith has been the leader
of the vice crusade now being conducted
| here.
A dramatic scene was staged in the
church when the women filed in and
Mrs. Rose Gambel pleaded the cause of
the night revelers.
| For an hour the minister stood in his
own church and submitted to a rapid
fire of questions from the women in
bedraggled finery, after listening to
Mrs. Gambel's pathetic plea.
"This is the saddest day of my life, y
said he. "You have asked me the ques-
tion that has been asked since the world
| began and is still unanswered.
Two-thirds of the women declared
! they were daughters of poor families
who could not exist on starvation
wages" " The majority proclaimed them.
selves native daughters and most were
mothers.
One woman, apparently of consider
able education, delivered passionate
appeal for "a new viewpoint by "viee
crusaders. -
"Why don 7 YOU stop the evil at its
source9N she cried. why don't you
attack conditions instead of persons
You think you are cleaning things up
but you are not. "
To this address the minister responded
by asking all who "wish to earn an
honest living" to raise their hands
Three hundred hands were lifted in.

ten plainly in their faces.
Rev. Mr.. Smith assured his hearers
that his efforts would be devoted Just
as earnestly to finding them work as
it had been to the twice erusade.1
While moving picture camera men
waited outside and took pictures OF the
scene, the women marched silently out,
shielding their faces as they hurried
away. tVw

Affecting School Directors.

Representative Laurgaard, af Multi
nomah county, introduced a bill yester-
day in the house providing for the re-
duction of the terms of school director
from five to three years. After gather
ing data concerning the interest evident
in school directors up to three years in
office and from three to five years in
office, it was thought advisable to make
the reduct ton
The proposed change is to make the
school board more responsive to public

to be introduced. He asked to have it
withdrawn but the speaker allowed it
to go on the calendar.
"What kind of deal are you trying
to put overt" Representative Callan
asked Representative Thomas after the
session was over. He wanted TO know
why he had not been notified as to the
action of the committee. He was told
by Representative Thomas that it was
decided at the meeting Tuesday night
that the bill should go in today, and
that as he was present at that meeting
he knew about it.
Representative Callan is reported to
have passed the lie to Representative
Thomas, who Immediately passed it
back again, with the result that inter
ference of other legislators prevented a
personal meeting.
The fishing in Rogue river has been
the bone of contention i'll the legislature
since 1872 and this year it apparently
is raging as fiercely as ever. A few
years ago it was the Hume interests,
but the fight has been transferred to
Roderick Macleay, who is said to be
practically the owner OF both sides of
the river for distance of 10 miles in
land.
1t developed at the committee meet
ing Tuesday evening that Representa-
tives Callan and Mann, of Multnomah
county, were fighting for the Macleay
fishing interests while Representatives
Thomas and Belland were pressing the
rights of the independent fishers and
the sportsmen of southern Oregon, who
ask that the Macleay interests be re-
strained.
This matter is political issue in
southern Oregon, according to what was
brought Qua at this hearing. District
Attorney Burlington, of Curry county,
presented q petition from his people
asking that the Thomas legislation be
enacted on the grounds that it will les
sen the burden of the Macleay mOnop-
oily and do much for the peace and pros
perity of the county.
Mr.. Maeleay was heard in defense of
his interests, and he stated that the
I Thomas bill would seriously handicap
commercial fishing at the mouth of the
river. He declared that the lamented
dearth of steelhead salmon was charged
TO his fishing activities, which charge
he said was absolutely without fOunda-
ton.

ARE YOU ONE OF THE NINETY PER CENT?

Only ten per cent of the population of the United
States are taking any interest in their teeth
Only ten per cent brush their ivories use mouth
washes and keep in hailing distance of the tusk-
Inspector.
The other ninety per cent don't care a whoop
whether their fangs crumbe to pieces through
decay and fall out or have to be snaked out by
joumeyman snag-hoister.
Think of ninety per cent of what are supposed to be
an intelligent nation letting the most useful ap-
paratus IN the human body go to the dickens like
grand piano left outdoors all winter
man will keep his face shaved regularly and
woman will zealously brush and comb her hair
but both, like as not will let healthy tribe of
germs rooSt in their jaws year after year. keeping
house and raising fat families of troube-breeders
The reason why such large percentage of human
beings ignore their teeth until it is too late is be-
cause most of them don't know any better The
Dental Trust doesn't believe in educating the pub
lie about tooth-caution.
And then, lots and lots of others fear the dental
chair, the forceps and the buzzing dental engine
just as four-year-od fears papas slipper That's
because they don't know about painless dentistry
-or don't believe in it.
Perhaps you are not in either class. Perhaps YOU
are just putting it off, waiting until you can brave
the dentist, prepared to let him stand you on YOUR
head and shake the last stray nickel out of your
pocket. That's because you don't know of one
tooth-smith who is willing to defy the Dental
Trust and charge fair price to fit a slim pocket
book instead of demand the dizzy fees, prescribed
by the amalgamated porch-cmbers.

public sentiment is apathetic and in
different.
Under the new system it will give the
people an opportunity to express ap,
proval or disapproval of the policies OF
the board; now they can only vote for
man.
As it is now the board is self-perpetu-
ating and will require at least 25 years
to remove any improper influence.
The last reason given is that five
years is too long to ask any one to
serve the public without pay. After
three years service it has been shown
that the business man begins to lose in
