THE PROGRESSIVE WOMAN
Is She Who Follows the Well-Beat-
en- Paths of Life.

Edward w. Box, writing on the theme
ION Being Old Fashioned in the Sep
tember Ladies' Home Journal" con-
tends that much of the sO-called prog
ress of to-day is not progressive; in
fact, that "old-fashioned" women who
follow well-beaten paths, adhere TO old
customs and accept we'll established
teachings, are the really progressive
ones. for the reason that their efforts
meet with no interruptions, nor is there
possibility of collapse in whatever en-
cages their attention. In domestic
life the progressive woman has had
very busy time" says Mr.. Box. "She
began by upsetting the old sewing
basket. 1t was narrowing to wo-
man. she discovered one dark morn
ing. Likewise was cooking, and the
care of children. A woman who stayed
at home and looked after the comfort
of her husband and children was
fwishy-washy'; she cramped her life,
dwarfed her intellect. narrowed her
horizon. Clubs by the score, societies
by the hundred, schemes and plans
bv the thousand were started, organ
lied and devised to rid poor woman
of her 'thraldom.' And these progress
S1Ve women were SO DISS LoI lle SA0-
walton of their sex! But there were
few hundred thousand women who Kept
right on being busy elevating their
children, helping their husbands, ana
believing that the sex in general was
perfectly able to take care of itself.
And these women are still busy sew
ing, cooking and caring for their chill
dren. And, gradually, they have seen
sewing classes introduced in college
and seminary courses, domestic sci
ence branches attached to nearly every
educational institution which girls at
tend, while the care of children has
received the Endorsement of State and
the specific attention of the National
Government. And what of the pro-
gressive' woman? Truly, the places
that knew her once know her no more!"

law The suggestion that the January
clause renders it imperative until jan
uary, 1898, is mere subterfuge. That
directory section does not paralyze the
law for year. There is in it suffi-
Gent TO put it into operation without
giving heed to the objection raised. It
is law that aims high, and that hits
squarely abominable abuses of the
past. 1t is intended to prevent Tom,
Dick and Harry running and dominat-
ing all primary elections regardless of
political faith. 1t is intended to stop
ballot-box stuffing, plug-ugly tactics at
the polls, and TO throttle the push"
in its endeavor TO bleed candidates and
obstrlIct voters. Because it is a good
law in intention it is opposed and its
execution fought by the very elements
whose occupation it win bring to an
end The Trustees should be advised
by the Corporation Counsel and rest
upon that advice. No possible harm
can come to any one by so doing. No
human right win be invaded the privi-
lege OF rot a single voter be crossed,
or the opportunity Of any man to ap-
peal for the support of voters be les
sened. 1t is a bad law for the push
and hence it is a good law.

A KLONDIKE INCIDENT.

The Milwaukee Sentinel has
charming letter from a snappy and
witty school teacher at Circle City on
the Yukon, that is an example in its
line We would be willing to wager
that the woman is one who will get
on" in this world, no matter what hap
pens. She went to the Northwest to
make her fortune but had to engage
in school teaching at Circle City for
beginning.
But she kept her weather eye open,
and presently her opportunity came.
That is ''it may be and it may not be"
Circle City is $50 miles from the Klon-
dixie. There came to the former place a
stout and ambitious miner who could
get no further The man was we'll rec
commended and convinced the people of
his capacity to prospect and mine, if
only he could reach the distant golden
kon. Such were the climatic and other
conditions that he could not move on
without some sort of motive power to
aid in transporting his kit and supplies.
In short, he needed a dog to draw his
sIedge. His team was short one dog, no
more, and there he was, stalled and
fretting.
In this dilemma the schoolmarm came
to and condoled with him. That was
not what he wanted; sympathy was
cheap and dogs scarce. Then the wo-
man set her wits to work Through
some of her copper -colored pupils she
learned Of an old Indian who had an
"ornery dog" That Indian she rousted
out Of his burrow some distance away,
and bringing all her wit to bear upon
his intelligence, she secured his cur for
$30cash down, and pledge of $40 more
If the dog died or was not safely re-
turned
Armed with the dog and proposition,
this bright woman went back to the
miner and brought him to an agree
ment that in exchange for the dog with
the mortgage on it, she should share
and share alike in his winnings on the
Klondike for the first season Of his
work This compact was put in writ
ing. duly witnesses and acknowledged,
and the man and the encumbered dog
went their ways.
1t is a very simple little story, to be
sure. By right of all romance the miner
ought to succeed, return to Circle City
with the dog in good order, marry the

men are tickle, and women trusting and
dogs uncertain, and mining a lottery; so
we must bide in patience, hope and
come of this mixed mining venture. But
as an Eastern paper suggests, the Incl
dent has one value. namely, it serves
to illustrate how difficult are the routes
of travel in that land, where an old
miner, strong and hearty, could not get
on his way for lack of the aid of a dog,
nor without the assistance of a West
ern schoolmarm.

At Sudbury, Pa, Judge Savidge re-
Gently subjected two hundred appli-
cants for naturalization to an unusual
test. and half of them completely fall
ing, he rejected them. He had fifteen
election booths set up in front of his
bench. with specimen ballots and an
outfit Of election machinery. The ap-
plicants were instructed in their duty
as voters, and required to demonstrate
if they We're intelligent enough to ex-
ercisa the elective franchise. In addi-
ton he subjected them to catechising
that tested their intentions, their
knowledge of the American system, and
their ideas of the citizens duty to the
republic and to the State. The example
Of that Judge is worthy of imitation.
If Il is conceded. as is COM
planned. that he went possibly a step
too far in applying the voting test, still
the purpose of the Judge was in the
highest degree commendable. But
since the law says that the court must
be satisfied Of the fitness of the appli-
cant. and does not provide how he
shall gain the information necessary
to satisfy him. perhaps the Judge was
fully justified in setting up the election
booths.

Mr. UebS at the labor conference in
st. Louis very boldly avowed himself
concerning the revolutfonizing of the
American Government. He declares
that it IS to be done; the Supreme Court
is to be abolished, Congress is to be dis
persed, and-there he stops-leaving in
a generalization about the re-establish-
ment Of the rights Of man, the inference
that he is to become Dictator, for he
adls that when the fight begins-he
comedies that it may be necessary to
do come blood letting with bullets and
bayonats-he will be in the front calling
on all others to come on" The con-
venlion, however, in it's declaration of
intentions, distinctly set forth that any
reform labor may seek, must be ac-
complished, through the use of the bal
lot. a most proper and wholly sound
conclusion. That some of the disturb
ing questions of the day and complex
problems which involve labor are to
be settled by changes in our present
system for the better, is probable, and
that whatever reforms common jus
tice and equal rights under law de-
mand. should be accomplished, no one
will deny. But the inflammatory fel-
lows Of the Debs stripe are not the men
to bring about any great reform, or to
work the betterment of conditions.
Debs overshoots the mark His very
declaration is its own antidote. There is
no necessity for Americans to go about
cutting each others throats to secure
any end that is commendable They
have the easier means at hand, since
they are part and parcel of a system OF
self-goverhment which provides peace
able means for attaining any good end.

Of Harvard in joint debate last night
The contest was a very close one. At
the end of the arguments the judges
withdrew, and after staying out 20
minutes declared that, although it had
been very hard to decide who should
be proclaimed the victor, they had de-
cided, after serious deliberation, to
award it to Yale. The question was:
Resolved, that the United States
should adopt definitely the single gold
standard, even if Great Britain, France
and Germany should be willing to en-
ter bimetallic league" Harvard up
held the affirmative.
