GOOD work for women

To the surprise OF many conservative
members Of the other sex. women have
found good work In many Of the oocups
tions few years ago monopOlizsd by
men. Bat It Is in evidence that these pur-
suits are not all OF them either agreeable
or suitable for women. Women have
succeeded as farmers, carpenters and
shosmakers as we'll as In many other me
chanical arts which do not appear ex-
actly suited to them. yet the fact that
other occupations to which women take
more naturally are ovsrcrowded with
them wonld 60 to show that where they
occupy such positions as those named 1t
is owing more to the forcs Of circum-
stances than any inclination on their
part to Gil positions which are from theII
nature more suitable for men.
Women have rushed into certain cleri-
iesl positions, especially typeWriting ant

Hoyt's "Miduight Bell" Com psDy
which will appear at the Elks benefit at

on the stars This is what the Post says
OF the remainder OF the company
Next in favor was Ed Redwsy, a new
comedian In Washington, who IN his
impersonati0n of that bad boy Martin,
had to outrlval merry memories Of Gene

a good singer, and withsl comedian

a primS fRvorite with all. The other

Ex- Building Inspector Daniel Dohl has
gone over to the Addieks wing Of the
Republican party and is endeavorlng to
induce his fellow German-American
Republicans 10 follow bis precept and
example. That he will carry some votes
which would otherwise have been cast In
the interest Of the Higgins faction
there can be no doubt, but whether the
German American vote which he can
carry will materially affect the result Of
Saturdays primaries In any Of the wards
OF the city is an open question, for the
German Republicans will not all follow
his leadership in this revolt against
a faction that has for euch q long time
used them so sdvantageously In the

ON Thee We trust"

Addlcks has the money and Higgins has
the machine That Is the situation In
New Castle county and II will be inter
esiinR TO note the relative value OF these
two factors in local politics. Saturday
will decide which can be nsed TO better
advantage In fsctionsl fight.
The Higgins men are shrewd msnipu .
lators. Long experience has taught
them all the tricks OF the trade and II
there is a money saving device that Is
not brought into play by them 1t will be
because they are ignorant OF It's exls-
tepce. They have control Of the ballot
boxes, the election oiiisers, the poll
cl, rks, the tally sheets, the count aud
the returns These powers are worth a
barrel OF money In themselves and the
men who possess them know how to use
them to their own advantage. They
have done so effectively In the past and
will do 80 on Saturday.
II Is difficult to beat a machine oper-
ated by such men as thoee whom ex-
senAtor Higgins has gathered around
him. They have no more consideration
for a foe within the party than for one
without its fold. The Addicks wing Of
the party Is made up largely of victims
OF this machine, with fair sprlnkling Of
former Higgins men whose wants we're
unsuitable. Unfortunately for NJ. Ad-
disks these recruits were not the smart
est Of the Higgins followers, and they
cannot work to the same advantage un-
der his banner that they could when they
had the machine at their back.

OF this profession at the head OF the lad
der, we fud below thousands that cannot
reach below the lower rounds. To these
latter other avenues In LIE should be
opened. for It is plain that the business
has been overdone.
Every now and then a suggestion Is
made regarding a new and suitable busi-
ness career for women. Some Of these
Ideas deserve little attention but the
recent one fsvoring the appointment OF
women as librarians for our public
libraries should be favorsbly considered.
Aside from the routine work Of library,
as caring for the books, cRtalogaing
them and giving them out. a librarian Of
this day i5 expected to possess some in
formation as to authors and subjects
To be a sort of human encyclopedia
whose information can always be
placed on tap. to save the reader
or student the trouble OF examining a
great number Of books In order to get the
special information required. To do this.
though 1t is evident that women are
suitable for the work, course Of pre-
pAratory study has been suggested and is
being carried out by an institution in
Albany. Two years OF study and travel
with an instructor will fit young woman
to become all that is required for an
accomplished librarian and prepare her
for an agreeable occupation.
