Our Germanic foremothers lived in camp with their men and when the Romans drove the “barbarians” back, on more than one occasion, the yellow-haired women slew their hus- ds and brothers with their own hands, and then committed le. These women would die rather than live contaminated, or with men who had lost virtue. And manly virtue meant cour- Such women were Keltic Boadicea, too, and Latin Zeno- and Greek Hypatia. To the decadent dwellers in the old cities and among the vices of ancient civilized life these “barbarian” women were strangely chaste. They had no ten commandments, but to the seventh commadnment they were true. And they bore strong sons and daughters, fierce but pure. Jane Addams tells us whereto we have drifted since our women lived in the wilds as “helpmeets” for our men. Six out of every ten of all our girls between 16 and 20 now fight on the battle field of business. Not in the forest, but in the canyons of the cities. Not keeping the camp with those who bear the sword and shield, but in the fight of hand and foot and brain for Money, money. And yet, according to Jane Addams, who in some marvel- ous way, in spite of the poverty in which she dwells so sacredly, ill keep the gift of hope, the strain of this battle has not yet - froken down the old chastity of our women. Here and there age way—as, indeed, it has always done since Brunhilde loved Siegfried. But Miss Addams shows that it has been nec- ‘essary for the ghoulish purposes of the white slave traffic, to organize a world-wide business concern—a slave catching con-|" tern—to supply the “need for girls.” And this in the face of ‘the fact that never were girls so free to go to hell, so unprotect- Miss Addams: “THE CHASTITY. OF OUR WOMEN IS HOLDING ITS OWN.” But, she adds: “NO ONE KNOWS UNDER WHAT DEGREE ECONOMIC PRESSURE IT MAY GIVE WAY.” In other words, the dam that stands between our society and the hell that follows when chastity gives way, is feeling the ure, - One girl worked for wages so low that save as she would, try as she might, she could not buy a new pair of shoes. She ‘worked for six dollars a week. Of this she spent two dollars for # room, three dollars for board and sixty cents for car fare. ‘The odd forty cents could not be made to keep her poor feet from the pavements, and with a body to sell, her chastity could not stand the strain. O, men who hire our girls, and women who consent to live in a society that endures these things, how long do you expect this, your precious society, to live under it? How long before} will ask themselves what society is worth which| takes the Brunbildes and giyes back diseased drabs? And never doubt that question is asked in many a home this very day. How will you ansker it? OF Many a diligent housewife the past summer canned no _. fruit, or than usual, because of the enormous boost in the of sugar. In many a worker's home the morning cup of coffee has become a burden due to boosts in price made by the coffee trust and the sugar trust. Many a chifd has had its sup- ply of sweets curtailed. Women baking cakes for women’s ex- ehanges have found their already meager returns for labor re- duced because the sugar im the cake, for which they cet no greater price, costs 5 cents more now than it did a year ago. We thought that maybe the beet sugar raiser was at least getting eng RE from the high prices which all sugar con- gumers were paying. When wheat and cotton go up the farmer gets a part of the advance. Although the tobacco trust has been making millions of dollars, the tobacco growers of Kentucky and other states have found it harder and harder to make both ends meet. Y And the beet sugar growers have had the same experience They have not only gotten no share of the enormous advance in the price of sugar, but have had to pay the increased price for the sugar produced from their own beets. tions are entirely creations of the state. Is it not high time that the creator shall sce that its creature is not an} instrument of injustice? Stock watering, big promotion fees Tike the $62,000,000 in the steel trust, and every other device which makes a few men millionaires, comes back finally on the producer and consumer. They pay the freight. How long will they continue to do so? “Business interests of Los Angeles had hardly got to telebrac ng the victory over socialism, with the aid of the wom- en's votes when it got two jolts that jarred the ha-ha right off its face. First thing those anti-socialist women did was to demand of the state board of health the names of all manufacturers of and dealers in impure or adulterated food stuffs. They are go- ing to advertise such names and publicly urge people not to buy “the stuff.” Next thing, the women organized to help select La Fol- _lette delegates to the republican national convention, The women like politics and are in deadly earnest.
