LIVES nj THE POORHoUsE.

The poorhouse seems to be a vanishing in
stitution. A check-up by Uncle Sam shows
that the unfortunates living in almshouses
totaled only rs, 900 last year. & M
In 1910 there were "a, 1913.
Back in 1880, when cover the Hills to the
EPoorhouse" still was popular sentimental
song and also slogan that kept many thin
walleted man awake nights, the nations poor
houses had 1872 inmates for every 100000
population.
Today the figure has shrunk to somewhere
around 70.
For years there has been much talk about
being no business opportunity for an old man
that young men only are wanted. A direct
challenge to this notion is the decreased num-
Der of paupers in alnshouses.
Another possible explanation is that the
young people of our generation are more will
ing to help penniess parents and aged rela-
tives unable to support themselves.
A third, and the most plausible of all ex-
plantations, is that thrift campaigns and COM
mon sense and insurance statesmen have simply
decreased the percentage Of people who fail to

Almost as many women as men were in
poorhouses in 1880. Now there are more than
twice as many men as women How do you
figure it out? One reason is that woman, no
longer secluded in home life, has hundreds of
ways to earn money and save for old age-or
to support herself in advanced years.
Another interesting fact in connection with
poorhouses is that native-born white inmates
number more than twice as many as the for
eign-born whites.
The poorhouse is monument to the mon
strosities of our system of economies With
our enormous natural wealth, our soil fertility
and industrial genius and Americas amazing
creation of wealth, it is a black eye that any
individual can reach old age penniless and nom

BETWEEN THE LINES

Not long ago, Mrs. Ida Clyde Clark,
a distinguished writer and editor. in a
speech before a meeting of the Woman's
international League for Peace, criti-
cized the newspapers for using space to
tell that women's feet were getting 1arg-
er and their waists greater in circum-
ference, while ignoring the important
things that women do. On the face of
the matter, it might look as if the criti-
cism was just, for there is much pub
lished about this and that, apparently
| the froth of life.
What means the fact that women's
feet are getting larger and their waists
gaining in circumference? Are not those
apparently superficial matters Indicative
lot the important things that women are
doing over the world? Do not these
odd facts, struck off like sparks from
the deeper vein of changing life, show
that women are liberating themselves
from the kind of clothes that are indie
alive of helplessness and incapacity and
striking out into wider fields? Imagine
man who had important work to do,
that required his best thoughts and ener-
gies, lettering around in small shoes
that pinched his feet and set him up
upon high heels. Again, imagine any
one, either man or woman, putting
! through any very important undertaking
with waist CONSTRUCTED as a GLADYS" was
supposed to be in the past?
In this light, Mrs. Clark's criticism
fails to take causes into consideration.
or realize that people are always more
interested in the different and peculiar,
some little detached oddly. than in the
more fundamental facts of life. But in
some way, the little things, after a
while. manage to convey the larger. The
public soon loses interest in facts about
larger shoes for women and bigger
waists, and finds itself completely &C
customed to women's doing all sorts
of things that require comfort, physical
endurance, and ease. In this way. with
out really doing it consciously. one may
daily read between the lines of change.

"WHAT A FALL is THERE"

The Prince of Wales has done it

lent applause Of this democratic world.
At Aborfield, near Nottingham, In a
steeplachase, the Prince came crop
per. 1t was the latest of succession
of falls. "The Empire Is Shocked
Anew" reads a headline. And it is
intimated that pressure will be brought
TO bear on the heir to the British
throne either to keep off or to stay
on horses. For uneasy seem the
horses that wear the Prince, and I'M
easy are his subjects.
And yet there are some political
virtues in this multiple jeopardy Of
the Prince as an equestrian. Great
Briatin is a democracy, even if her
dominions and colonies are more or less
tributary to her. And the horse ram

great leveller. As the Prince strikes

respects a jockey cap quite as much as

SENATOR WHEELER'S TURN

The Hon. Senator Wheeler of Mon
tana, who has been investigating former
Acknowledgement Daugherty for the
purpose of getting him out of the cabi-
net and who. since Daugherty has re-
signed keeps on investigating for pol
itical reasons, has just been indicted in
Montana on charge of accepting i'm
proper fees in connection with some oil
scheme or other.
1t naturally follows that Senator
Wheeler is highly indignant. He says
there is nothing to it." claims the in
dictment is the result of politics. as
serts that it is nothing but a scheme
by my political enemies to discredit me-
and makes various other statements OF
similar import. All of which may be
entirely true. But what of it?
2 For several weeks. Senator Wheeler
has been pursuing the former attorney
general for the purpose of besmirching
through him. the political party to which
Daugherty belongs. At first Wheeler
claimed that Daugherty should be in
vestigated because he was not fit per-
son to be member of the Presidential
cabinet. That may have been true. but
Daugherty is no longer a member of
the cabinet, so of what use is it TO in
vestigate man for the purpose. of get
ting him out of something that he is
not in. 1t is very much like indicting
a dead man.
In former days, the English had a
habit, at times. of digging up the body
of dead man. cutting off his head,
hanging him on gallows and then
throwing the body into ditch. This
was done to Oliver Cromwell. to his
son-in-law, Ireton and to others who
had teen active in the trial of Charles l.
However, it is not of record that the
English nation ever reaped any particu-
lar profit from such doings. 1t is certain
that, after Cromwell's disinterment, there
was very little of that sort of thing done
Investigating Daugherty after Daugh-
erty is gone, is pretty much on the same
order as hanging Cromwell after Crom-
we'll was dead.
1t is entirely possible that the politi-
cal enemies of Senator Wheeler are after
him. There is no reason why they
should not go after him as he has gone
after his political foes and there is some
reason why they should. Wheeler be-
gan the thing and it must be accepted
as a truth that if a man persists in
throwing stones, the time is going to
arrive when somebody will throw one
or more of them back.
Wheeler's investigation is largely cheap
politics as are the majority of the sena-
torial inquiries now in progress at Wash
ington. If it is all right for Senator
Wheeler to investigate his enemies for
political purposes it is the = right of
Wheeler's political enemies to investi-
gate him for political purposes. 1t is
neither the best nor highest kind OF
politics, but it is difficult to find a
brand Ct politics that cannot be played
by both sides.
Senator Wheeler says there is moth
ing to it." but there is certain to be as
much in it as he has so far developed
in his DSugherty investigation. Moth
!! ing equals nothing and nothing is new
er more than nothing. Furthermore
it must be admitted that there is always
certain degree of satisfaction when
ever a constant bitter is himself bitten
