Kate Field is the girl for our money. In
a recent speech, or article, or lecture, or some
other ut,eIance, that blessed young lady says
"If had my way, journalists should be paid
better than any other professional men and
women" And why shouldn't she have her
own way, we ask? Every girl should have
her own way That is what girls are made
for. And especially, why shouldn't lady of
such excellent sentiments, so evidently posted
in the affair of life, be interiered with In any
manner Let her have her own way. she
