country. Already new feudalism has
been developed in which power is trans

and in which vassalage is secured, not
by an oath of allegiance, but by de.
tendency. The barons of wealth are to.

1t is true he does not advocate anv

declares it to be the duty of tine strong

quote from one of his sermons: The
function of the church as an element of
civilization is not to prescribe methods,
not TO devise remedies; that Is the func-
ton Of government, the duty of society.
The function of the church is only to
inspire action, to provide impulse. TO ex-

Recently Miss Van Etten had this to
say on the subject:
Some years ago statesmen. bookkeepers, clerks,
stenographers, typewriters, etc, had salaries
sufficient to support them Now they have not.
Women came into these occupations, took any
compensation that was offered them, and the
employers, you may be sure. fixed wages at the
.owest possible point. Then mems wages were
reduced. No employer will give mare to aman
than 10 a woman If he can get the latter TO do
he same work satisfactorily. The result has
been that the wages in many occupations have
been brought down below what was considered
The living point for men formerly. Women
generally can afford to take wages which would
not support a single man. let alone n man with
family, for they have homes, and their little
earnings simply become a part of the family
earnings.
1t is hard TO get working women to realize
hat they are committing almost crime in
irving their natural protectors and providers
out of their occupations by accepting wages on
which a man cannot live. They only think Of
the few dollars To be drawn at the end OF the
week. and do not consider that the injury will
-cact upon themselves eventually. have seen
great deal of the condition OF working women
N all branches OF trade in this city, and l am
compelled to say that, since their sphere has
extended. they are worse off even than the
working women in Lo.don, about whom so
much has been written. And the worst OF il Is
hey have dragged men down with them 90
starvation wages. Unconsciously they have
combined with the manufacturers, storekeep-
srs and others employers to make life harder
for the workers of both sexes.

crease in the Army of Women Wage
Work ers-what Must Be Done to Solve
It-Mss Van Etten's Views.
The social movement, or, as it is gem
orally called, the labor movement, has
become a favorite topic with novelists
during recent years. The economists and
essayists no longer have this field all to
themselves Writers of fiction may not,
as q rule, search as far into the dark
caverns Of science as the professors, but
many OF them get much closer to the
actual HE of their times-learn more of
the conditions which exist So it is not
unusual that the background upon which
the novelist traces the characters of his
story Is n more faithful representation of
tie social and economic situation than is
presented by the compilers of heavy
weight ratistics and complex theories.
AID | really believe the former of these
two schools has done most to turn the
eyes of readers in the right direction.

Miss Van Etten has made close enough
study of this subject to qualify her TO
speak with intelligence upon it. and 10
earn n serious consideration for her
words. She says: Organization IS the
one remedy. Women must recognize
the dignity of labor and must go at
it as a life affair. They should or
ganize rs extensively and as COM
pactly as men do. 1t is hard to con-
vince them of this, however. There are
few working women's societies in exist
snce at present. Those organized in the
last year or two have already accom-
plished much good. Their example will,
hope, promote the organization of
others. The condition of the women
cloakmakers has been greatly improved
since organized them. have received
in the last few days many requests for
information as to the methods of organi-
cation from women in Pittsburg, Cleve-

Wilmington collectors. A lnandamus
has been applied for to the Superior
Court to bring the members OF tho

and compel them to satisfy the bond
OF George W. Mckee, even while he
has almost $500 of collected taxes in
his hands, which he has not paid over
TO the county, but instead returned the
men who paid the taxes to the Levy
Court as delinquents. The LevyGouri
knew that il they satisfied the bond,
they would have no more claim on Mr..
Mckee for the nearly SljO0 he owes
the county and hence refused to let
him go free. The Levy Court did
right. The collector owes the county
money he had not paid, and they
wouldn't satisfy his bond until he did
pay it. This is the whole truth in q
nut shell. Let the Levy Court stand
on principle, and satisfy the bond OF
