GIRLS WHO WORK ARE
PROSPEROUS; BUY BEST,
MERCHANTS ASSERT

We have all heard about the high
cost Of living. but it takes Richmond
merchants to tell US that despite the
fact, local working girls are more
prosperous than ever before.
Does the average girl buy the best
material or the cheapest? Do they pay
cash or on the installment plan7
These were two Of the questions
asked and in every case department
store proprietors said, THE best ma
terial to be had is bought by the girls
and they usually pay cash"
This, according to the store officials,
is contrary to the practice Of several
years ago. 1t was then the general
policy of the wage earning girl to pur-
chase as low priced goods as possible,
and more often than not, to pay for
the material on the installment plan.
Asks for avery Best"
Today when the purchaser Is seek
ing a new dress, coat, or suit, she asks
for the best instead Of the medium
priced. Not only that, but realizing
that when she buys on the installment
plan she often pays several dollars
more than when bought with cash, she
saves her money until able to pay
cash.

use their heads when making a pur
chase they could often get real mater

as they do now on about Is per cent
of the present cost. In fact the best
dressed girls are not by any means
the ones that blindly buy the highest
priced goods without thinking"

Despite the fact that it is commonly

local dealer said that he thought she
was saving more money than she ever
did before.
He based his belief upon the number
Of bank books left on the counters by
the feminine shoppers.
There is hardly day goes by that
I don't find bank book somewhere in
the store which belongs to young
lady customer. It proves that they
are not only buying, but are also

Then and there the Civil War began.
"Border ruffians," as the North called
the settlers, who rushed in from Mis-
souri, and other slave states, and set
tiers no less rough in their fighting
who poured in from the free states,
quickly turned that primeval into
bleeding Kansas" Rival territorial
governments were set up by the two
factions, and Pierce threw the weight
Of the Federal power on the side of
those who were desperately striving
to create another slave state.
The whole country was drawn into
the struggle, and the Republican party
sprang into life. At the election in the
middle Of his term, Pierce saw the
Democratic representation in the
house ut down one-half and the opposi-
ton sweep in with big majority.
In spite Of that warning, the presi-
dent became a candidate for renomlna-
ton because he was very much in
need of vindication. The selfish pow
er that had used him had used him
up, and it ungratefully turned to a
new name, less furnished in it's ser
vice.
The rest is the meager, but pathetic

story of a discarded president. The
charm OF a kindly nature continued to
hold till the last the affection OF
friends, but public popularity was
gone.
The Civil War, breaking out only
four years after his retirement, served
to deepen the shadows Of Pierce's rec
ord. In January, 1860, he wrote to
Jefferson Davis the encouraging pro
phecy that if the conflict should come,
1.-The fighting would be not only along
the Mason and Dixon line, but within
our own borders and in our own
states" In other words, that the North
would not be united
A few days after the firing on Sum
ter he made speech in which he took
the stand for the Union. Unquestion-
ably he had always been loyal to it
in his heart. He had sacrificed even
his good name in an honest but mis-
guided effort to save it from the hor
ror Of fraternal strife. But to its sal
walton by war he could give little faith
and only a perfunctory support.
In the hot passions aroused by Lin
coins assassination an indignant
crowd marched to Pierces house in
Concord with a noisy demand that he
hang out the Stars and Stripes. The
self-respecting dignity Of his refusa'
to admit that his loyalty to the flag
needed such proof awed the zealots
into silence, and the eloquence of his
sincere expression Of sympathy with
those who mourned the stricken chiet
sent them away with softened emo
lions toward the speaker. Though he
lived four years more, that is the clos
ing entry in the public life Of Frank
lin Pierce.

Franklin Pierce was elected in a
more sweeping victory than any 9th
er President has had since Monroe.
He had the mandate and the oppor-
tunity to be president of the whole
Union. With all his good qualities of
head and heart, he was not broad
enough to be more than the servant
of section, "of those who placed me
here" as he expressed it.
The new presidents appointment of
Jefferson Davis to be secretary of war
Identified his administration at the
outset. with the aggressive faction in
the south. Under its counsels Pierce
not only surrendered to the ambitions
OF the slave power for expansion over
the north and west, but also for it's
expansion into foreign lands.
Slavery was in it's last throes every
where. Great Britain had abolished it
in her West Indian islands, Mexico
had abolished it next door to our own
slave states. Even Spain was tending
toward the freeing Of the slaves in
Cuba when the American ministers to
Great Britain, France and Spain met
in Belgium and issued the "Ostend
manifesto" That shameful document
proclaimed the threat that if the Span
ish government should refuse to sell
us Cuba we would take the island by
force.
At the same time Congress at home
was repeating the Missouri Conpro-
mise and wiping out the dead line
against slavery, which had been drawn
a quarter of a century before. This
threw open Kansas to wild scramble
between settlers who wished the new
territory to be free and those who
wished it to be slave

Correspondents BIunder

In the news dispatches from
Frankfort one day last week the cor
respondent of various daily newspa-
pers made big mistake, through
carelesly and thoughtlessly, suppos-
ing that John G. VIM, one of the
candidates for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Circuit Judge in the Tween
ty-frst district, was of the same po-
litical faith as his brother, Judge
Robert Fl. VIM.
Papers were filed in the office or
the Secretary of State, proposing Mr..
VIM as candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Circuit Judge,
and the news was sent out that he
was proposed for the Republican
nomination. Both the correspondent
and the editors set about rectify-
ing the error as soon as it was dis
covered and the papers of the next
dav gave the correct account.
The Frankfort correspondent ad-
sised Mr.. VIM that he got the item
by telephone from the office of the
Secretary Of State and being ac-
quainted with Judge Robert Fl. winn
AMI knowing that he was a Republi-
can, carelessly and without proper
inquiry, assumed that John G.. VIM
was also a member of that party.
