Free Coinage Would Benefit
Labor,

A citizen asks the following
question:
Whether or not the free coin
age ofsilyer will be better for the
laboring classes; and if so, why?n
In answering this question we
take it the writer means agricul-
tural labor.
Free coinage will benefit labor.
Now, agricultural labor in this
country to-day receives THE VERY
HIGHEST WAGES paid any labor IN
PROPORTION to the prices lecieved
forthe PRODUCTS PRODUCED.
The farmer cannot continue to
pay the price he is now paying ii
the prices of his products contin-
he to fall. For if prices continue
to fall, the farmer will either have
to reduce the price he pays his
labor or he viii have to dispense
with the use Of labor,
Our agricultural laborers are
not paid more than they should
receive. The trouble is, if their
employers cannot continue to pay
them at the prices they receive,
and will be compelled to dispense
with their assistance, what is TO
become of the laborers2
Labor, agricultural and other,
needs not only good wages, but
steady work.
1t is to the interest Of labor that
employers should be prosperous
and have a ready sale for their
products: unless they have, they
will neither have the ability or
inclination to employ labor.
The farmer and his employees
are in the same boat. While it is
true. a dollar will buy more than
it ever did in the memory of any
man in this country, tits equally
as true that it is proportionately
much harder to secure the dollar.
Itmatters little to labor wheth-
er coats sell for a dime if the dimes
cannot be had to pay for them.
1t would be much better to pay
dollars for them, provided steady
employment afforded the oppor-
tunity to earn the dollars.
A restriction of the currency
must, of necessity, restrict its cir
culation, and a restriction of cir
culation must reduce prices and
the employment of labor.
From these facts it must be
seen that labor needs employment
*more than low prices, and that
contracted prices prevents the en-
ployment OF labor, and as con-
tracted prices come from a con-
tracted currency, the expansion
of the currency means the expan.
sion of work ind employment,
thus enabling labor to sell it's
product work for money with
which to btiy products of the farm
and factory. And as the remoni-
tization of silver means doubling
the coin currency, itmeansdouble
prices and double work for our
Farms fantoriac and L., h,ro.n

talking about the ideal woman and Pro
fessor Griggs had followed her with
paper entitled Ideals of WOmanhood, -
in which he had given his opinion as to
what an ideal woman should be like.
When he had finished Miss Shaw jumped
up and said:
''The man who thinks these thoughts
and lives this life is the man to 60 with
that ideal woman.
That the hundreds of women who
were there agreed with Miss Shaw is
not to be doubted. They applauded
wildly ia their enthusiasm and waved
their handkerchiefs frantically at the
newly discovered and long sought ideal
man. The young professor could only
blush and bow his thanks.
He had really said some very nice
things to the women about themselves.
Here are some Of the opinions he ex-
pressed which won for him such glori-
Gus renown:
''The ideal woman to me is the eter-
nal wOmanly woman, but 2 woman free
from traditional limitations, sympa-
thetic, refined and loving, but strong
and free and independent, capable Of
standing alone and so worthy Of the
deepest human relations.
American women have shown them
selves willing to accept the responsible
tiles that come with freedom. Every
department of life which women Ia ve
entered has been elevated by them. We
may hope for the same influence to re-
suit from the admission Of women to
greater political privileges. The woman
suffrage movement is only one step to-
ward the further emancipation of WON
en-. Tt is really less important than
greater freedom for women IN industrial
and domestic life. But political free
dom is a great help toward all other

GROWTH OE TIE HIALL.
From a Simple Passage 1t Has Come *
BE the Principal Room.

From a Simple Passage 1t Has Come TO
Be the Principal Room.
The ordinary older cottages, those of a
quarter of q century ago, were generally
planned with a single entrance facing the
approach. This opened from a porch into
a passage rather than hall, with the stair
way starting few PAGES within and run
ming straight up against tho side wall to
the floor above, the parlor and library to
right and left with the dining room be-
hind the one and the kitchen beyond the
other. Between the last two came the
buffers pantry and servants stairs and
the back door which usually in the family
life Of the occupants became the thorough
fare to and from the house.
This, pure and simple, was the general
plan from Which the house started. Step
by step it developed. First the passage
was attacked, and, being broadened, be-
came hall The staircase fell away from
near the threshold to q less obtrusive place,
with landings and returns, and windows
opening upon them. As the hall grew the
rarlOr, as its uses and purposes were more
absorbed by the ball, became Of less i'm
portance. The fireplace became a proni-
nent feature, and, placed in the hall and
more deliberately treated, became an ingle
nook, with the mantel over it forming an
imposing chimney piece. Improving thus
its separate features upon the old, the
newer plan advanced farther in the dispo-
sition of these features. The new hall
having become bread and ample, and the
rendezvous and Eoa6 Of the home life, took
it's position i'm the most desirable place in
the advanced plan. The house grew up
about it, following with the other features
and details in their proper sequence, until
now, from the SUM Of all that has been
done, the resulting general plan, with its
controlling condition Of ritas can be adj
duced. Ladies' Homs Journal

Washington, June 1.-The chances
are that Judge Miller of Kansas and
all other members absent on business

pOrtunity to get local bills through the
house
Pressure is being brought on the
rules committee to call the roll of the
house and allow each member to call
up a local bill and place it on it's pass
age under suspension of the rules This
will make it ar easy matter for each
member to call uD one bill and in this
way much local pressure can find relief.
In the event the plan carries out il
will be known today, when absent

members in for work on contest cases
and other business of the house, where

The Professor Revealed his Identity
in a Speech About Ideal Woman.
Dear woman. since this world began
Has searched for an ideal man,
Nor ever dreamed-so foolish She
That such a one could never be.
But man. who has wiser streak,
Ideal woman does not seek.
He knows and wants it understood
The good old kind is much TOO good.
Most every man has the good fortune,
at some time or other in his life, to find
a woman who regards HIM as her ideal
man; o very few are placed on this high
pedestal by more than one woman, but
probably Professor Edward II. Griggs Of
Stanford University is the first male
mortal to be publicly proclaimed, by a
woman whose fame is world wide, as
the ideal man.
Tt was the Rev. DR.. Anna Shaw who
declared Professor Griggs' ideality, and
all who know anything about her viii
admit that she is no susceptible young
person whose thoughts turn with the
springtide to things romantic. No, In
deed. Miss Shaw is a keen eyed, ex-
perienced woman, who has seen many
men and who, until recently. has found
them all wanting. OF course the fact
that Professor Griggs is young and good
looking could have no weight with her
though many women will be pleased to
know that their ideal man has these
qualities.
Miss Shaw allowed no false modesty
to prevent her from expressing her high
opinion of the professor Immediately
after she had formed it, although the
place was in a wOman's congress in San
Francisco. She herself had just been
