Political parties are, in great meas

AS woman, in the aggregate, is not

as man, it would be well to give her
the right of elective franchise. There

and immortality, in every form, are
more common among men than among
women. Women are not found crowd
ing the saloons and gambling houses,
as are men.
The mother, whose anxiety for the
future of her children has no bounds,
has no voice to say whether liquor
shall be sold to contaminate her sons,
but the low sOt who wallows in the
ditch, the gambler, the saloon keeper,
and the owner of the den, vote to
bring the damning influences of all the
vices to her door. When the question
comes up to vote bonds for some en-
terprise, the woman with property has
no voice, but her servants, who have
not dollar on earth at stake, vote a
tax of five hundred or a thousand
dollars on her property. Such laws
are unjust and not in accordance with

SOCIETY NEEDS US.
Can we Become Useful Members Thereof
After being Behind the Bars?

This paper derives it's title from what
was said recently in the Bible class.
The statement was made, that society
was incomplete without our aid, and to
illustrate his remarks, the speaker pro-
duced his watch, and said that it would
not be complete, or success, II one OF
the smallest screws was taken out. The
statement is perfectly true, but is liable
to be misunderstood. SO it is with
society: it is incomplete without our
aid. This may seem very peculiar
statement to some individuals here;
nevertheless, it is in no way mlsrepre-
sented. and is qualified to attract atten-
ton. and entitled to be considered by
one and all present, some OF whom may
be able to produce a good idea, which
ultimately may tend to an improvement
in society affairs.
We have heard considerable discus
sion on this subject; and, it has been
demonstrated, time and again, by in
mates, that we are outcasts from SO
ciety. Yes, at present we are, but art
we going to continue so? l say, No
If we Judge rightly, and consider th'
disadvantage of leading such an ob
scure life, not knowing what purpos
society is intended for or the recon
pense which follows the leading o
!, such lives as it needs. Numerous ex
cuses can be put forward on this sub

wisdom from their past experiences,
and cease from the useless struggle of
trying to strangle its legitimate progen-
itor. In every struggle of the past,
some of its millions have slipped from
it's grasp, and it has always taken long
time to recover from its efforts to
"undermine the foundation" True,
labor has suffered in these struggles,
almost to the verge of despair or death,
but the lessons it has learned, the wis
dom it has gained from past experience
has more than counter balanced the
sufferings it has had to endure 1t has
slowly but surely learned that strikes
do not pay except in very rare instances,
in fact so rare that it is questionable if
at all, and it's attention of late has
been directed to better method of set
Ting disputes between itself and its
employers, that is, by arbitration. In
the comparatively few instances in
which this latter method has been hon.
estly employed and fairly carried out
the results have been so satisfactory
that the wonder is that both sides do
not at once unite upon this eminently
fair and impartial manner of settling
differences that may arise between them.
A few more such fearless decisions
as that of Judge Caldwell will perhaps
open the eyes of organized capitalists
to the fact that labor cannot be made
compulsory, nor can it be bullied or
brow beaten to do the behests OF these
magnates, as did the slaves in times be-
fore the war, and it is possible that in
order to avert further disaster to their
interests, they may be led to see that
the only true solution of the problem
of labor VS.. capital lies in arbitration
When that time arrives they will find
labor willing to meet them more than
half way, ready and anxious to place
the interests of both on sure founda'
tion that shall insure the future pros
perity of all.
When this shall have been accomplish
ed there will be no more necessity OF
such decisions as that rendered by this
eminent Judge, for then the interests OF
both sides will be fully protected. Ii

who has taken such wonderful stride
in the direction of securing this yer.

PLACE FOR EVERY LIFE.
Its Importance In Assisting and Saving


There is one sphere Of lite of which
we take too little notice, and which is
constantly hindering and misdirecting
many who have sincere desire and in
tent to do right; and that is, the true
significance of life itself. A man may
look at his life and feel that it is at best
but poor, feeble, insignificant exist
ance. He may say to himself, Here
am 1 with an infinitely unimportant
life, influencing nobody. Of what earth
ly good or Importance is 1t, that L
should thus struggle against the stream
of nv tendencies and tastes? Why not
let my turbulent passions sweep me
down the stream and bury my insigniti-
cant and burdensome life beneath their
unhindered and unceasing current? ?"
Such, in many instances, is the trend of
thought and imagination. For every
man who errs by thinking too much of
himself. there are ten who fail by not
thinking enough of themselves. But
now comes the apostle of earnest, hon
est thought into the very midst of this
sluggish, half-hearted, false modesty of
thought, and says to your soul, "Yea,
in it's present sphere, your life is indeed
very insignificant affair, but placed
as you happen to be, in the universe
which God in his infinite wisdom HAP
PENED to make, your life becomes of
infinite Importance. God has chosen to
work out his designs, not, however, in
spite of you, but through you; and
wherever you fail, he halts. God needs
you. You are not your own, either to
be insignificant or great, but you are in
YOUR own service, of that which is far
greater than yourself, and that service
touches your life with its own great
ness. You are lighthouse keeper as
signed to duty on the rock of time.
Can any temporal life be more impress
i've or significant than this? Why sit
through weary nights to keep your
flame alive? Why not sleep on uncon-
cerned and let your little light die out?
Because it is impossible. The beacon
is not your own, you are simply its
keeper. 1t is your trust. The great
designer whom you thus serve lifts you
up and beyond your own insignificance
= and embellishes you with power to
illumine and guide to shore, by the bea-
con light of your own life, many a
, stranded wreck which is now being en-
quilted amidst the cold and chilling

ORGANIZED LABOR CHAMPIONED.
Judge Caldwell Stands UP for Justice
and Right.

There is one Judge within the broad
realm of the United States whose name
should be deeply engraved on the hearts
of all laboring men, for he has dared to
say to organized capital that the labor
ing man has rights that must be respect
ed. and which will be protected by the
majesty of the law.
In his recent decision in the matter
of the differences between the receivers
of the n. p. r. r. and it's employees,
Judge Caldwell has had the moral cour-
age to stand up for right and justice,
and in plain and comprehensive man
ner comedies the right of labor to organ
ize for it's protection against the greed
and avarice of organized capital, as
exemplified by this great octopus whose
mighty arms have been ever ready to
reach out and grasp all that might come
within its reach. 1t has grown so
poWerful that it has not hesltated to
call in the aid of the law to compel
obedience to mandates directed to Its
employees, and sickening as the truth
is. and strange as it may appear, it had
no difficulty in finding Judge who,
either in besotted ignorance or arlsto-
cratical hauteur, ignored the God-glven
right of American workingmen to say
a word or perform an act in their own
behalf. and would compel, by edlct OF
his court, men who were born as free
as himself, to perform labor for great
railroad at it's own terms and In Its own
interest regardless Of the interests OF
all others. But listen to what Judge
Caldwell says of this: "The day fol
compulsory labor in this country, ex
cept as a punishment for crime, has
passed." Yes! the last vestige OF tina
relic of barbarism died in America II
1864. and Judge Caldwell has fearlessl.
placed himself on record as against hav

also truly says that "organized labor l

SUFFRAGE
The Granting of Which to Women VIII
Inject a Much Needed Moral Force
Into Politics.

One of the most important questions
now being agitated in our land is that
of woman suffrage. 1t is evident that
in a free government, founded on the
principles Of justice, all the governed
male and female, who have arrived at
mature age, and possesses sufficient In
telligence, should have the right OF
suffrage. Age, intelligence, educa-
tional and moral qualities, should be
the only qualifications of voter.
One of the strangest facts in our
nations history is that, to this day,
woman, who is equally subject to our
laws, and who is taxed for the support
of government, should have no voice
in the laws that govern her. The
drunkard and the man of evil tenden'
cies, it makes no difference as to the

HYPNOTISM.
A Profound Sleep Produced by the Ac-
ton of the Will.

This word, like many others in the
English language, has broadened in its
use until now it's special meaning is
lethargy or profound sleep, produced
by an action of the will. This mean
ing is akin to that of mesmerism. A
sense of the mysterious seems to prevail
among the ignorant at the mere mention
of the word. fone stops to consider, he
is sensible of similar awe at the thought
of the wonderful possibilities OF cleo
tricity, or at the sublime upheavals OF
an earthquake. Hypnotism formerly
meant slumber or the act Of inducing
sleep by artificial means. There are
several methods of inducing sleep and
if these methods are artificial, is the
result genuine? In other words, what
is sleep? That there is wide differ
ence between natural slumber and the
first stage of the hypnotic influence, is
plainly shown in the fact that the prick
ing of pins, loud noises, and blows on
the body will not arouse the subject,
while they certainly do awaken an
ordinary sleeper. On the part of many
who are familiar with the uses and re-
suits of hypnotism, there appears to be
a certain reticence whenever informa-
ton is desired of them. They may be
excused or they may not. 1t IS only
generous in a man to impart knowl-
edge to his neighbor. On the other
hand it is only natural to desire the
possession of some secret influence over
another: to be able to feel a sense OF
superiority toward another and to In
dulge that feeling with no necessity OF
explanation. In my experience there
is no secret power. 1t is simply latent
force in every sane person, ready to be
brought forth at the command OF the
will. AS the wonderful spring Of cleo
tricity found an outlet through the in
genuity of man and sent its gushing
waters of Improvement over the cOgs OF
commerce. so the key of this wonderful
latent magnetism may unlock the dusty
chambers of the will, and spread its
fragrant knowledge from man to man
