Despite the fact thi many more earn

" "masher" during the last year and that

Vhen poBstble, the number of women who
complain of being addressed by strange
?'mn, even in the daylight, hours, t con
stantly InereaVtng'. ( J ' :
The masher- thrive within our midst
'and makes it unsafa for young girls to
-be out upmi the stref unaccompanied,
and equally unpleasant for thos who are
no longer as young aa they appear.
Nowadays when a woman is 'accosted
by a stranger more 'than onceln a cer
tain part of the town she usually sends
in a complaint to Ihe Woman's Municipal
league, and so I went to the league's
headquarters to ask the guiding genius
of that organisation who to blame tor the
jpresent condition of things, which mattes
a woman a liable to be insulted In our
irlty streets in broad daylight' aa she
Mould likely be In the free and easy cap
itals of Europe. ' '
''Responsibility for the safety of young
girls walking on the streets alone oomes
back In a large degree upon their moth
ers," said Mrs. William HaMard, who
believes that the older and more experi
enced woman has herself to blame If she
U spoken to by strange men.
"If our young girls were ill properly
trained In the way they are to. behave
In public most of this trouble would
e eliminated," Mrs. Hazsard concluded.
There was one woman whose opinion
counts who places the blame on the
bffended party rather than On the of
fender, and when I went Into Dr.
I Magistrate House say it is getting impossible for a woman to walk
i-bouf the streets without aik;cort. But Dr. Cogswell and tha governors
wife agree that the gtrla are partly, if not altogether, to Warns.,. . i
Elizabeth Cogswell's , office that . breezy
and experienced person agreed with her
opinion, as least aa far as the young
girl was concerned.
"What can you expect?" asked Dr.
Cogswell. "Look- at tha clothes the
women are.1 wearing;? look at their low
pumps, their transparent stockings, their
short, light skirts. In addition to that,
all of them, even the modern school
girl, powders and rouges her face. ,;
"The mother Is the worst offender.
She flatters her daughter unceasingly,
and the girl demands admiration from
everybody she meets. She expects it
from the passerby on . tha. street. She
may only want tha glance of admira
tion in man's eye, but she Is dressed
to attract attention, and she gets that
and more. The extravagance of women's
dress In public provokes Insult."! ;
Again the woman was to blame, al
though Pf.' Cogswell admitted that in
certain parts of the city, even in the
daytime, a woman of any age . was
likely to be spoken to If she did not go
on her way with the. brisk and business
like walk that discourages the "masher."
Jut aa I was leaving I, caught sight of
a handsome woman whose, face seemed
vaguely familiar, though one would have
to be a clairvoyant to recognize Mrs.
John A. Dlx, the wife of the governor of
New York, from the unflattering photo.
graphs and snapshots one usually sees of
her, v-'. v.-? ' , ,: '
As every Interviewer's brain is com
pletely obsrtirred for the moment y the
one subject in view, , Mrs. Dlx had to
submit to being asked 'what she thought
of the question of the safety of young
women In the streets.
"It- depends altogether on the woman
herself, I should think," she said, Mrs.
Dlx has the most charming ; voice and
manner of speaking. V , .
"Of course, the fashions of today are
preposterous and often objectionable, but
there art no other clothes to wear. Peo
ple buy what Is in the shops. The way
womeh drew today seems to make them
appear all of the same age, none very
young and none very old; that's fortunate
for some of us, -but hard on the young
girls. Isn't it?" r;v : - V !w .
Mrs. Dlx has avoided the unlovely
features, of the modest fashions In a
smart, simple frock of changeable blue
and green silk and a small velvet toque
and she needn't try to look younger than
she is for some time, I can assure you.
But-shs agrees with the , others. It
seems, to be ui to the'glrls.

Taft Gives Warning
Against Ainbitious
I and Selfish Interest
NEW LONDON, Conn.; Sept. 7.-From
within the grass-grown ramparts of Old
Fort Griswold on Cotton Heights. Presi
dent Taft this afternoon told the dele
gates to the Atlantic Deeper Waterways
convention that no individual should air
low his own selfish interests or his per
sonal ambition to lead him to climb into
power over someone else.
"We should not forget our true relation
to our fellowmeo." hf said, "nor the obll-
aatlons we owe those who ss Individuals
make up the body politic" The president
had been telling the story of the detent
of Fort Orlswold, 131 years ago and of the
courage of those farmers who had de
fended the walls against the British under
Benedict Arnold. He had spoken of Ar
nold, saying that no one who had studied
the brilliant parts of the man and his
ambitions, could help feeling regretful
that love of self, self -absorption and am
bition for power, had led him into that
path Which made him the "greatest
traitor of aU times."
Turnlns from the lessons of history she
president took up the matter of deeper
waterways, a movement which he fa
vored, especially the proposed system of
inner canals aleae- the seaboard.
The president, with his ankle bound up,
used a cane in walking from the boa;

The bull moosers last night nominated
Howard H. Baldrlge for congressman
from the Second district in a hastily or-,
ganlxed congressional convention in the
lobby of the Murray hotel. Although
Mr. Baldrlge is the nominee of the re
publicans by virtue of the vote received
at the primaries, the bull moosers did
not bother with a mere endorsement at
their convention,, but made Mr. Baldrlge
the nominee of the progressive party of
the district. Several friends of Mr.
Baldrlge assured the crowd that Bald
rise was with the progressives In
spirit and would carry out the pledges
of the progressive platform.
The gathering at the hotel was a gath
ering of the Douglas county bull moose
organisation. While a half dosen speeches
were being listened-to, convention calls
were being signed, at a table in the rear
of the room, . while solicitors wtre busy
ubout y-.a room hauling enough signers
to the table to make the call for the
congressional convention legal.
When th necessary 1C0 were procured
with an extra fifteen for good measure,
Chairman Henry, announced a motion to
adjourn In order, "assuring the members
that the thing to do was to reorganise
immediately into a congressional conven
tion. . E. A. Benson msde the motion to
adjourn and reorganise. Upon adjourn
ment. J. W. Towle took the chair and
called the mass congressional conven

Immediately at his right. Jumped to the
floor and moved the .nominations bs

G. H. Thompson started a debate when
he declared he bad neve? received any
assurance that Mr, Baldrlge was really

that such assurance was duo tne uuii
moosers before they chose him as their
nominee 5 tor ' eoneress. A half dozen
sprang to their feet to declare that they
