WOMEN NEEDED IN POLITICS.
DR.. Ella A. Jennings, president OF
the Woman's Bryan and Sewell club
of New York, says: lam using every
energy and every power both Of
tongue and pen in aid of Bryan, be-
cause I believe that the policy for
which he stands 80 firmly is the only
one that will save the wage-earners
and farmers from utter misery-from
abject dependence upon capital which
is grinding them down and crushing
out their life blood. l tell you that
this country will be the scene Of the
greatest revolution the world has ever
known If our government continues
on the present down grade, allowing
the rich to grow constantly richer
and more powerful and the poor
poorer, and more dependent. Because
women as we'll as men are Vitally af-
fected by evil political conditions, I
am glad that they are taking a hand
in the guidance of the ship Of state.
Woman's aid Is required, and it is
high time that she steps to the front
and lends her superior morality and
intuition and conscience to the affairs
OF government, -Demorest Magazine.

There are now nineteen state feder-
atoms Of woman's clubs.
Miss Ellen Richardson, one of the
two quaker sisters who, in 1916 paid
the $3.50 by which Frederick Doug
lass was legally manumitted, has just
died in New Castle, England.
DR.. Kate G Homer of Pender, Ne
braska, was recently elected coroner
Of that town. The cowboys call her
an angel because of her self.sscrifc-
ing life. Whenever she goes on a
trip overSS the prairie to visit a sick
person, some gallant cowboy follows
to see that no harm befalls the pretty
young doctor.

Sometime ago an article was pub
lished about the favorable impression,
Hall Caine, the Manxman, had of
American women when on a visit to
the United States, but sometime since
he has made unfavorable remarks
about the women workers of America
and other countries, and has been sew
erely criticised by some near home:
Hall Caine, whose recent statements
regarding the inferiority of woman
attracted some attention, has called
down upon his unlucky head q spirit
ed rejoinder from John Strange
Winter (Mrs. Stannard). In the
commencement of her literary career
Mrs. STANDARDS father died, leaving
the family without a penny. She
lived far from London, and had no
friends to help her in the literary
world. "Yet before l was thirty my
name was known all over the English
speaking world. I have married,
brought children into the world,
ruled my house, sold one million, five |
hundred thousand books, kept up an
enormous circle of friends, helped |
several charities and many strugglers |
both in kind and IN influence, have
kept my house better than most
women and have a husband and
children who worship me and are
never really happy unless IN my &C.
tual presence.
ION the other hand" Mrs. Stan
nsrd proceeds, you have Mr.. Hall
Game, who is small, fragile man,
who cannot work in London, who by
his own showing, IS thoroughly ex-
hausted by the effort of writing a
single book, bundle of nerves and
fancies. He began his literary career
with an enormous advantage over me.
He has wife to mind his house and
to bolster him up when his nerves get
too much for him. l fail to see
where his immense superiority over
me comes in"
