ems Inordinate Bizarre for Fiinery."

Editor The Washington Herald: /
was impressed with your recent
editorial on the subject Of profiteering
by local retail merchants.
1t is a little unusual and the best
indication Of your unselfish interest
In public welfare to so frankly state
a case touching the conduct Of your
best clients. the merchants.
Not all the hardships of the govern
ment clerk. particularly young ladies
and girls who have come to Washing
ton In recent months to accept posi-
tions Of stenographer, typist, etc, in
the great departments are traceable
to the profiteer who charges so for
so room and bed, the grocer who
gets Is cents for cents worth of to.
matoes,, nor the shoe merchant who
sells s325 shoes for s12.
These young ladies spend a large
part Of their earnings in the dry
goods stores, paying exorbitant prices,
Of course. 1t is difficult to regulate the
merchants prices but the spenders
may think, be discouraged in their
inordinate bizarre and desire for
finery, largely a result Of competition
between the young ladies themselves,
in their efforts to outdress one an
other.
The more provident oand sensible
young women, with modest tastes, and
a desire born Of necessity to save
every dollar Of their earnings possi-
BILE. are driven to the extravagance
Of fancy, IL not fine, wearing apparel
by the folly Of their more frivolous
associates. s-
Uniforms for departmental workers
may not be practicable or desirable,
but at last 1t may become necessary
as the one remedy for the desertion
every week Of hundreds Of workers
who can not keep the pace at the
salaries paid.
The press can do more to create
healthy sentiment for modest and
sensible dress during the period OF
the war than any other influence and
to relieve lie embarrassment that are
forcing many Of the best workers in
the departments to give up In despair.

PLEA FOR OPPRESSED.
Believe. Poor Whites" of Country
Are Unjustly Treated.

Editor The Washington Herald:
have been thinking for some time
Of the very important fact that Il is
the Christian duty Of the best people
Of this country both black and white
to Join in the work OF helping the
poor and much abused white people Of
this Continent to rise up and throw
OF the yoke Of oppression by the more
opulent portion OF our citizens. I am
firmly convinced that we are making
a great mistake by supposinR that the
colored people are the only citizens
who are ill treated and misguided
Why you have no idea OF how much
prejudice exists against the poor white
people of this countryl
Why should the people Of this coun-
try treat the poor whites Of our coun-
try with any less fairness than the
poor blacks2 My idea Ii that an hon.
est and loyal white person Is en-
titled to as much confederation as an
honest and loyal black person am
tired-very tired OF hearing the cry
''the poor oppressed colored people"
What we should do Is 10 protect the
poor white people OF this country
against the misguidance Of q certain
element Of every nationality. For in
SNdHNCs 4 AAdN IL u OAl OANN
to protect the poor white people with
the same fervor as We do the poor
black people, for that a man Is no
/ more entitled TO protection Of life or
liberty, because he is black or white.
There is but one God. one religion
and ole common brotherhood! am
ready and as willing TO protect a loyal
honest white citizen, no more, no less,
in council or on the field Of battle. The
great trouble in this world is there
is too much ignorance and meanness
covered with black. white. yellow and
brown skins. I hope-I pray and trust
that when this cruel war is over, we
shall all acknowledge the fact that
"a man Is a man for all that" 1
read in the Post a few DAYS ago that
this Sgorid war for freedom would
be won by the sword" which / seri-
ously doubt! My belief is that the
war will be won by the Christian
Wisdom of the civilized world (arbi-
trationl. look forward to see the
day when the United States will en-
Joy a more perfect freedom as well
in the South as in the North, in the
East as in the West.
Then and not until then can we
proudly boast OF a perfect democracy
on the western continent. What have
we today in the Southern states Of this
nation? A democracy? No! But on
the contrary we have an arrogant
plutocracy, dominating over the poor
whites and colored people, who will
surely rise up some day and throw of
the yoke OF oppression. ]. myself. was
born in the South and have lived
there and know that there are
hundreds OF thousands OF the very
best people there who stand firmly for
fair play, when the equal rights OF
their fellow man is the question OF
race or color.
What a glorious victory we shall
have won at the end OF this world
war. when there will be no more
North. South. East or West When
every loyal citizen whether white or
black, yellow or brown will enjoy
every right guaranteed to them by
the Constitution OF the United states.
