A dlapalch from Washington, D. C, I On might think that til duration of
'aaya that a wealthy suffragist of that whether a working girl wore silk ttock-
I city has started a rrusada to prwrant uga as not was on that lay batwaan nor
own sola and her pockeibook. isot so. it
la really not so raueh a matter of tens
Ion as a probltjm la ft hies.
For the silk stockings en the worklnr
girl's foot Is the modern materialisation
for the yarning for esse and
luxury and adornmsnt the foolish finery
for whlr-h so msny poor girls tell their
souls. When you ee cobwebby silk
stockings peeping from beneath a hard,
worn skirt, you would be a poor )udgs
of character, ' Indeed, .If you did not
know that Uie feat thiey covered were
perilously near the prlmros path.
Por the silk stockings on the working
girl represent so pitifully much. They tell
Ui story of her craving for the luxuries
that rich women have. Tbey tell of the
sybaritic Impulses that "lie must strifle
ordinarily, but that she has gratified for
oner In the purchase of the silken
hosiery. Thry tell of esrrlflces that the
has made, of lunches she has done with
out, of pinching tccnomlea here and there
that the has made to gratify her vanity.
They tell of foolish extravagance, of
silly pining for the Indulgences of the
wealthy, of weak lelding to temptation.
of a frivolous nature that never stops
to count the cost of gratifying an Im
pulse. Or etas thpy will tell a sadder story, for
there la no other thing on earth so ter-1
rtbly tragic as that th majority of girls
go wrong not for love of some man, hut
for love of dress. They ar rot passion
driven, but fashion mad.. They barter
either.

Several big shipments of Irish potatoes
have recently arrived In New Turk city
from Scotland, paying a stiff duty to
I'ncle Ham. But before you begin to gt

we get the farte.
These potatoes were
sold st sn advance

made a thousand

And now a biswer rargo still is coming

throughout the United States for seed

If we get Irish and & otch folks f ar seed

The Irunh potato I strlitly sn Ameri

who took tobacco over to England car
ried with them potatoes.
But potatoes were not ralred In Ireland
to any extent until about 159 years ago.
Th transplanting was a lucky stroke for
Ireland. Th el mate and soil there were
eminently adspted for raising potatoes.
The potatoe saved Ireland from star
vation and turned the tide of misery to
a life that produced quite a number of
white hopes. And It I a Tact that the
land that will produce good potatoes
will also proitace good men.
Ireland has kicked up a dust in a politi
cal way quite beyond Its sire, measured
in jKi'J&re miles. Transplanted Irieh nils

It was forty-seven years ago today
January il. in that congr passed the
thirteenth amendment to th constitution,
th act which forever killed the Insti
tution of sisvery within th United State
and all place sub

Better lale Ihsn
yiever. of course,
but after all It was
nothing mor nor
less than a raa of
"shutting th etable

Two hundred and
forty-slg year be
fore (August. Hit)
there cam to
Jamestown, Va.. a
Dutch slave trader with twenty negroes
for sale. Th settlers bought them, and
then ther began th trouble which was
to worry th whol nation for nearly two
ceuturle and a half, and which was to
be got rid of at last at th cost of a
million Use and billions of treasure. If
l hey had only closed th door In th
far of that Dutchman, and ordered him
to be gen with hi negroes, what a dif
ferent thing th history of our country
would has been!
"Things bed begun to make themselves
strong by III." say tha great hakes
peare. Do wrong, and you must do
sllll mor to prop up th first wrong:
and sooner or later must ciroe th bloody
reckoning.
When wis men and good, north and
south, first began to res 1 1 so th wrong
thst hsd been committed In eatabilshing
slavery in our midst, they btxan to
tremble and to prar; but they apparently
did not kr.ow that prayer Is powerless
to Stat s off th oon sequence of wrong" '
action. When men or nation violate J"
th law of right they muat attl tor ,
