The custom has been to make @he bonds of such high denomination that ordinary pe fould not buy them, only banks or the wealthier individuals Why should you loan a banker your money at 4 per ent and have to pay 7 per cent on it when you want to] use it?

My life hhas been ruined by a man well known. Men get off easy, but the girl must suffer.” i He hurried an officer to the place where the writer said she intended to jump from a high bridge, but too late. A moment before the officer arrived, a young girl had climbed to the railing and dived overboard. Her body was not recov- ered. Her name is unknown. Yes, alas, “men get off easy.” That man, for instance {Well known he may be, but not for the treachery which sent | this poor girl into the sheltering depths. Perhaps well known for his gifts to charity, for his attendance at church, for his prominence in the activities of business. Perhaps} well known as a husband and father. He had amused himself for a time with a pretty human toy, had feigned the arts of a lover to satiate a selfish passion, and then, Doy-like, tired of the pastime, had thrown her aside. She} lies somewhere in the river’s sweep, cold and stark; but he goes on his way untroubled. Verily, the girl must suffer And it pains us to say that it has always been so and that we very much fear it will’ be so to the end For woman, the matrix of the race, the one in whose goft body, close to whose warm heart, all the children of the race must find their way into the world, lies by nature's fiat under this special condition, that for that unique func- tion, with its tremendous import to the future, she must Quard jealously her honor, her fitness for motherhood “Men get off easy,” yes, because happily the percentage of women who can be cheapened, even deceived, is small. Men would go down to swift racial ruin, uncheered by| Offspring, never knowing the pride of fatherhood, unhonored, unsung, if it were otherwise. And yet, to make the girl do all the suffering frankly isn’t fair. We ought, as professedly a Christian society, to! order it otherwise; to accept the splendid challenge of Eugene V. Debs, who took into his home an erring sister rejected of others. We ought, but when will we? | | | CLEVELAND HOUSEMAIDS are trying to tnionize | for a 10-hour day. | L. E.
