Women, Pure and Impure

tect all womanhood, and no man is
fit to set himself up as a judge be-
tween those Of us who are bad and
those who are good.
In a certain South American city
there has been erected a statue for
woman who was at one time a
famous courtesan, but VINO. when
the yellow fever swooped down upon
the land, did not flee with the
crowds but went about nursing the

too, finally succumbed to the disease.
Out of the entire population she was

she a good or bad woman?
To protect pure womanhood is not
enough. Twentieth century chivalry
means more than that, if it means
anything at all.
The prostitute, who has come to
her sad state because Of men, merits,
as we'll as the purest maiden, the
protection and help Of decent man

Jesus spoke when he said, Let him

Al some wonderful IDEAS about
Lie reformation Of fallen women,
a couple of which are the setting
up Of public stocks and old-fash-
Toned whippings.
Fine! Let's have the stocks and
the heavy fines and the vhippings,
but for the sake of common justice
and democracy, let's expose and lick
the men right along with the women.
Why punish the women and let the
business men and politicians go?
The attitude of this Texas attor-
ney shows very forcibly one of the
queerest quirks Of the masculine
mind.
The men can't crate enough about
pure womanhood," and they can't
do enough to drag impure women
further down.
Sometimes one wonders just what
they mean when they talk agout
protecting pure womanhood." In
the accepted sense we know Of
course, that they refer to innocent
girls, respectable married women,
decent spinsters.
But why should men swear protec-
ton to these alone? Why draw such
drastic lines between goodness and
badness in our sex and make such
slight marks Of distinction between
the two where men are concerned?

WEALTH OF
INDIANA

GR. LIONEL G. EDIE,
I'D director Of the bureau OF
III research at Indiana Uni
versity, in n report Thursday to
the State Chamber OF Commerce,
puts Indiana's total wealth at
.s9,4S5, 100000. Among the States
of the Union it ranks as the
twelfth richest.
As thirty-five OF the State have
a greater area than Indiana and
dozen are moro populous, the
Hoosier commonwealth possesses
about its proportionate share of
the country's riches. 1t is not
disgustingly rich IN fact like New
York or in paper profits Ike
Florida.
According to DR.. Eide the per
capita wealth of the State is sS,o6S
"a slight falling off in the past
decade. due to more rapid In
creases in population than riches

they mean little.
1t is the total or the mythical
average, but the actual dis
tribution of wealth among the
people of the State that is i'm
portant. There Indiana is for
tunate. It has few outrageously
wealthy citizens and little stark
poverty. In many OF its prosper
Gus counties, with fat farms and
hustling industries, there are no
residents popularity reputed to be
millionaires.
In Indiana the great majority Of
the people are just folks, with
sufficient financial resources to eat
and regret three meals a day,
maintain automobiles, permanent
waves, radio sets, pay alimony
and enjoy all the other newer COM
forts of civilization.
AS long as that condition exists
let other States boast. If they like.
Of their heaped up wealth and per
capita riches-we're content to be
Hoosiers.

r vestigate conditions at the
IL Vigo County Jail, Terre
Haute. 1t is announced. Prisoners
there, it is alleged, have been per-
mitted too much liberty.
The United States courts and
marshals are getting very touchy
on the subject of county jails
since Druggan and Lake-eminent
beer barons - became paying
guests at the Cook County Jail,
Chicago, and enjoyed all the
liberty and conveniences of a
hotel. They don't want a repetition
of that unsavory affair.
But probing iails is perennial
pastime of Federal Courts.
Last winter it was the Marion
County prison that was subjected
to inquiry. In that instance it
was not charged that the inmates,
Federal or otherwise, were PAM
pered. Quite the reverse. Poor
food, overcrowding, mistreatment,
and the use of disinfectants with
predatory scent formed the burden
of the complaints.
A Jail is not intended to be a
luxuriously appointed apartment
house, furnishing elegant bachelor
quarters rent free. Neither in
this enlightened age is it intended
to be foul medieval torture
chamber in which malefactors are
thrown to rot. Too frequently
these necessary lockups go to one
extreme or the other.
A Jail that would be Just Jail

prisoners would receive plain food
and plain treatment would be well
coined by society in these piping
times of peace, prohibition and

Women and Education.

Smith College is about to tackle the
problem of the modern woman, how
to reconcile. a professional and bust.
ness career with the duties of mar.
riage and motherhood. An institute
for the coordination of womans in.
terests" has been established at
Smith, with Mrs. Ethel Puffer Howes,
a graduate, at its head.
The problem which is to be studied,
ii is declared, confronts almost every
educated woman of today" While it
is the problem of more women toda Y
than in past generations, it is. how
ever, not entirely new problem. And.
after all, it will be solved according to
the individual rather than by any fixed
formula that may be arrived at by the
new institute. There are, and have
been and always will be, women who
do not make good wives and mothers,
whether or not they have professions
or business activities outside of the
home, and, on the other hand. there
are. and have been and always will be,
women who make good mothers and
wives notwithstanding work which
takes them outside their homes.
There is no royal road to wifedom or
motherhood so far discovered The
home is not made without real work
and sacrifice on the part of the wife
and mother. A selfish woman, whether
she is educated or not whether she
has a profession or business or she
has not, has little chance of making
successful home
ModSrn life. however has brought
new problems for the woman as well
as for the man, many of them eco
nomic. The woman is frequently a
breadwinner, the educated woman as
well as the woman of less educa ton.
The effort of the institute at Smith
will be to reconcile these duties as
breadwinner with those of the home
maker, to teach women how they may
adjust their professional work to the
duties of the wife and mother and
make a success at both. But the wife
and mother will always have to sacri-
fice something of her intellectual ac-
tivity, her profession and. her business
to the duties of wife and mother. So
far there are no synthetic babies, nor
can they be farmed out for upbrinsin ns
with results as satisfactory as home
training.
