The alien fishing bill has been
n-Jected by tho senate, uud It now
looks as though the eight hour bill
wilt oocomo loaded down with amend
ment., until it ? III be of no value.
If it pa&seo the house at all.
When these senators and repres
entatives \ ere up for election,
they were metaphorically pawing
the air iu denunciation of the fish
trap and l>-j alien fisherman. The
; our laborer 'vho had t? hazard
their lives to greed by working ten
hours a day. In gas and smoke
polluted mines broug.lt tears to the
eyes of the ? same legislators. But j
'he hands that erstwhile pawed the
utr, are now engaged in reaching
for something more substantial,
and the glistening tears seem to be
rrystalizlng themselves Into prec
ious gems that reflect the smiles of
the big operators. '
The Millard White Slave bill pass
ed the senate Wednesday by a unan
?mous vote and has gone to the
house, where it has every indica
tion o( passing and becoming u law.
The bill is not radical, nud but sup
plements the codo laws now iu force.
It Is aimed at that class of disrepu
table mal - characters who truffle
iu womeu nud live off their uuluw
ful# earnings, and those landladies
o Import and deal iu iniquity.
Section 2 of the moasuro makes
it a felony for any malo person to
uct as an employee or servant, or
assist in managing or operating a
disreputable house, or who shall
oe supported in whole or in part by
.my money or consideration from
ttv earnings of a prostitute. Tho
penalty for such effenso being im
prisoned for not less than two
.tears. This penalty also applies to
womeu who Induce other worilen to
<-ut?r a life of shame, or who im
port them for Immoral purposes.
The law will become effective Im
mediately upon its passage.

IRRESPONSIBILITY.
Wo n.-k the question often why
our ? oliege graduates <lo not take .
a m- -r*? active fart lu some form
of soclnl i'itU e ?o splendidly
organized liv t!ie ra'slern city
cburch. S' win* i iy answer this
filiation t>v I sNtlns that It ts
due to a cvrt:ii:i lark in their col
legeo training; that the attention
of the undergraduate has not
been sufficiently directed to the
responsibilities of life and to the
duties be must assume when be
leaves l i college pursuits be
hind him. Oil ts there may be
who would say that the difficulty
Is with the cburch; that Its
claims are not sufficiently strong
nor sufficiently urgent to com
mand the allegiance of our young
graduates as they enter upon
their life work There may be
come truth iu each of these
criticisms. Both college and
church may be partly ut fault
There Is. however, a natural tend
eucy due to the comblued fac
tors of human nature on the one
band and its environment on the
other which should lie definitely
recognized In order that It may
be intelligently counteracted.
Till* . - tl -ndency which de
velops n habit of irrespouslbllity
due to np intense concentration
of effort upon a necessarily nar
row field of interests. To get a
start In life, to be able to bold
one's own In the strenuous com
petition of the age. to compel
recognition as au authority on
one's subject, to control men and
event*, to command a respectful
hearing amid the many clam
orous voices of the world and to
win the place of a peer asong
one's contemporaries? this is no
slight undertaking It means
perseverance, courage and an in
