moral character devoted to the use of face powder
and rouge and possibly some addicted to the use
of highly perfumed soap without injury to their
moral standing, we fail to see the influence of
these things upon the character of good women.
1t may be true that the pioneers in the moro
lavish use of cosmetics and extensively perfumed
soaps have been women of low morals, they were
of that sort before they took to the use of these
articles and would have been of that sort in spite
of the powder, paint and soap.
Cosmetics and toilet soap are not going to turn
"a good woman bad and the president of the Ken
lucky Women's League has a totally wrong idea of
her sex. 1t may be that she, like many more of
us, has an aversion to too much paint on the faces
of women, and an adherence of Cashmere Bouquet
in the removal of the marks of toll from our hands
and face. Even so. We may not look so we'll or smell
SO pleasing, still we are not morally tainted.
We don't know just what strata Of society the
lady president has been surveying recently, but
we feel certain that she is casting too much re-
Election upon innocent toilet articles and not
enough upon her sisters.
Our observation is that a good woman will re
main a good woman and a bad one will remain bad,
and soap and face powder do not control their
morals.
Then there is always the hope that a good wo-
man will reform in her use of offensive toilet ac-
.cessories.

We Have Faith

Several years ago a little book was issued bear
Ing the title "Haye Faith in Massachusetts," How
we'll the country has followed the advice contained
in the title may be judged when it is stated that
a Massachusetts, man sits in the chief executives
chair, that another one occupies the speakers chair
in the lower branch of congress, and yet another
is the leader of the majority party of the senate,
and still another directs the great war department.
These are all powerful places under the govern
ment.
And why shouldn't the nation have faith in Mass
achusetts and her men? They we're the ones who
first began to write American history. They the
ones who invented Americanism- They the ones
who wrote liberty into the Declaration and equality
into the constitution. They have firmly supported
these suman rights throughout our three hun
bred years of history, not alone with their treasure
but with their blood. 1t was the men of Massachu-
sets who fired the shot that was heard round the
world and those echoes have never died away.
We can have no jealousy of Massachusetts, that
the turning of the wheel places her in a position
to exercise such mighty power. The men of the old
state are perfectly competent to WELD it worthily.
The nation has no fear of them.
The people have faith in Massachusetts,.

Banishing the Yeast Cake

New York wipes her prohibition enforcement
laws from her statutes, abolishes the department
of enforcement and retires her officials to pri-
vate life. Thereby creating a bootlegger's para.
disc and opening n rum runners carnival.
Iowa, on the other hand, enacts seven new en-
statutes, declares Illegal the possession
Of materials with which to make liquor and ex-
tends the search and seizure clause to apply to
such materials.
Thus you have the temper of the people in two
not widely separate states of the union; and their
loyalty in support Of the laws and constitution.
New York throws down, Iowa upholds. The for
mer refuses to aid and casts the whole RESPONSE
bility upon the federal government The later comes
to the rescue Of the general government and makes
more definite and certain its laws, and its deter
mination to enforce them and bring punishment to
those who trample upon them.
The Iowa attitude is the correct one. the New
York position the cowardly and shameless one
