woman's Capacity for work Steadily In
creaslns.
In speaking Of woman's capacity for
work, the Baltimore American says;
''Her influence in politics is always
strong. In numerous cases she has
held and il holding Office. and it is an
instructive fact that NO woman has
ever been dismissed from an important
public position for inefficiency. She
does her work promptly and does il
we'll. Her usefulness in business as a
correspondent or clerk or typewriter
or manager is acknowledged every
where. Throughout the United States
there are thousands of successful women
farmers. We have number in Mary
land, and they manage estates in a way
that keep the balances on the right side
of the ledger. Idaho has horse queen
who owns between seven and eight
hundred horses and. although only
twenty-three years old. she is making a
fortune. Mrs Deborah Powers, of Lans-
ingburg. N. Y. is slightly older. be-
ing ninety-seven; but she has vigor
enough to be at the head of banking
house. In New Hampshire the other
day the stockholders of the Dover
horse railroad unanimously elected
Mrs. Dow president. and she showed
her good sense by at once reducing the
fares to five cents, and in her business
career she has made her private for
tune of $40. 600 grow into 500. 900. A
hundred instances could be cited of
women who exercise controlling in
terests in large manufacturing con-
Germs. In literature woman is unpre-
cedentedly active. More than half of
the books published in this country
last year were written by feminine
pens. In the fine arts she yields a
large power, and in journ alism she is
making both money and reputation.
One of the most successful specu-
lators in New York is woman
and millionaire; but in ninety
nine cases out of a hundred a wo-
man touches speculation Mt her cost,
and her best policy is to let it alone.
Many men complain Of decrease in
opportunities for employment They
forget that this is due to woman's CONF
petition. She does not stand on the
street corner and wait for work. She
searches for it, and when she finds it
she holds on to it. Men of spasmodic
activity need not expect to Guido her
persistency, and the only way they can
equal it is to follow her example. The
time will come when women will be
paid as well as men. There is no rea-
son why she should not receive equal
wages for the same labor. and the
tendency is naturally and inevitably in
her favor. Her enthusiasm is credit
to herself and a stimulus to the sterner
sex. May her success increase"
