One Year. One Month OLICE RATDS directed with ekill and prosecuted | with vigor have compelled the gambling fraternity to close their places and either search other haunts | or go into complete retirement. Deputy Com- | missioner Fiynn has thereby shown what the force can do when it has a clear idea of what is wanted | and a resolute intention to fulfill the want. It is quite probable that in other lines of work an equal vigor would show an equal efficiency. There has been no outward evi- | dence of the much-talked-of “demoralisation of the police” eo far as | the campaign against the gamblers in concerned. Why should there | be elsewhere? We are going to have a large output of legislation to deal with evils recently brought to light. We are going to have new laws for the reguis*ion of bakeries and drug stores and factories and banks, and much good may they do us—but what we need most in all govern- mental eupervision is an official who in addition to authority has vim, vigor and virility. ny A NEW SOLUTION. CHICAGO man, charged with murdering his wife, eubmitted to conviction on circumstantial evidence ‘because the proof of alfbi would have involved the exposure of @ woman in whose company he had passed the night when the alleged crime was com mitted. ‘This was the conventional honor that has prevailed since the days of chivalry and there is noting strange about it. But the case is given a twentieth century imax by the refusal of the woman to consent to the sacrifice; by her voluntary announcement of the truth of the case and her brave ecosptance of the consequences. We have here, if not a new moratity, at feast « new concept of voman’s honor. Public opinion in our time will unquestionably in- oree the action. In fact, it is etated that the husband and the father of the woman have elready approved it. But of old it would not have been eo. Romance has treated the theme « thousand times in all the langueges of Western Europe, but neither poet nor playwright ever suggested such a eolution as is now offered in real life. Tt is going to be interesting to note whether the feminine ver- dict will treat it as a development of the new womanhood or an freak. +. UNEXPECTED BUT NATURAL. 'Y a big majority the House Appropriations Com- Bt) | mittee of the Illino{s Legislature’ has voted to in- 4 crease the pay of members from $2,000 to $8,600, oJ mainly upon the ground that the direct primary Sage: system has caused a heavy increase of campaign expenses. | Tt will be recalled that Senator Flint of Cal MI fornia refused to be a candidate for re-election because he could not afford the expense of making a campaign before the primaries, | These effects of the direct appeal system were not counted on by reformers, but they appear.to be inevitable. Despite popular in- | terest in politics a considerable number of voters will not go to the primaries unless urged. It takes work to bring out the indolent citizen, and work costs money. In demanding that the State increase their salaries sufficiently to meet these increased expenses, the Illinois legislators are at least candid. It was not expected of them, but under the circumstances it is natural. ard CHURCH OR VAUDEVILLE. |i you ao N the eve of retiring from active life Mr. J. C.

HITS is the time of the year when the aesthetic soul of man vearns to buret ae forth in vivid scarfs and violent #ocks, when @ chap's longing for @e | ful breaks out in checks and stripes and epots all over him. The annual crop of yellow shoes has tMorsomed with the crocuses; socks may be, heard as well as seen on all sides, and the usual apring scares, like narrow shoulders and waistline effects, are budding on Fifth avenuer Watat- line effects! Heaven never gave a man @ waistline! Why in heaven's name #hould he want one any more than he wants a bump or a clubfoot? But he'll take it tf the tallors ordain it. MHe'd wear @ ring in dis nose if it were considered “the proper thing.” Pshaw! It may take nine tailors to make a man, but one tallor can make a fool of him any day. ¥ And we scoff at woman for her mavery to Fashion!

For the sake of comfort? On, of course! For | the sake of beauty? Heaven forbid! We do them because we are arrant cow- ards; because we would rather be dead than “Atfferent;” because our aesthetic @ense haa been crushed out of us by habit or fear of ridicule, A email boy begins by wanting @ red sled, a red stick of candy and @ girl with red cheeks. No mild, half-hearted tints for him! But alas! with the cutting off of his curls his right to love colors is cut off too.

But chere 1s one thing in which we allow our imagination full pla {n which our love of color and beauty expanda and nates itself. and And that ie our taste in women. Is it eny wonder that the average youth 4s dazzled by a per- | oxide chorus girl, and tha: the average man marries a brilliant tinted buttecty |B reference to @ Iittle brown grub? Ia it any wonder that our women spend thetr nights thinking up new ways to dazzle us during the day? Is it any won- | ter that they break our newts and pocketbooke with thelr Iavieh extravagances and startling fade? Do you really imagine that any girl deliberately pinches her waist, wears Geath-trap shoes and carries a ton of hair on top of her little nead—in onder to fascinate other women? Nonsense! It's because she knows that she hes got to be a “scream of some kind in order to attract the average man’s attention. And the louder she screams the more attention ahe attracts. It ts all very well for @ man to talk about commen-sense fashions for women—but that {en't the kind he turns around in the street to stare after. Dim to rave over the modest violet, but that dinner, It's the girl that satisfles his aboriginal taste for bri represents that red sled and that red etick of candy! Oh, yes, we are a nice lot of mvralizers, we are! But the next time you feel Itke celivering a tirade Against the folly of feminine fashions, old chap, Just stroll over to the mtrror and take # look at yourself. | On reflection, 1 wonder how I would look in @ “waistline” coat, anyway: After all, a college education does a lot—for the fleure.
