What Talmage Thinks OF Women.

In my mind, the fact that a woman
is out in the world earning her own
living should not lessen in any degree
the Difference paid her by men. If
anything, her efforts should increase
the respect and courtesy of men. A
chivalrous attitude toward woman,
no matter what her position in life may
be, is not a matter of principle with
gentlemen; it is matter OF instinct.
We cannot forget that our mothers
were women, and we cannot overlook
certain fineness in the character of
women which men, as rule, do not
possess. The women are cast.in finer
mold, and it is natural that they should
be treated accordingly. ! believe that
women, speaking generally, are more
conscientious, more moral and more
spiritual than men; and they bring
into any sphere which they enter desir-
able qualities which did not exist there
when it was occupied by rnen alone. In
a business office they have an elevating
and refining influence. bid them
Godspeed in their so-called invasion of
the business world Women are more
helpless than men when thrown upon
their own resources, for the reason that
their sensibilities are greater and their
self assertiveness is less; therefore they
should be given every opportunity and
encouragement in their attempt to help
themselves. If had position which
woman was competent to fill, and a
man and woman applied for it,
would most certainly give it to the
woman. Demorest's Magazine.

MAKES A GOOD PLATFORM.

A Good Suggestion From the Republican
Club for the Spring City Campaign.
The republican club of Kenosha de-
sires, in a non partisan spirit, to inter-
est all good citizens in an effort to elect
city ticket this spring, which shall
have for its motto reduced taxation.
To accomplish this result it is neces-
sary to nominate only such men as are
capable and qualified for the respective
positions they are to hold, and who en-
joy the confidence of the people.
Good work has been done by past
and the present administrations. Men
have been employed during the dull
times and Kenosha, which had some
what fallen behind, has been placed in
the fore front in improvements.
But we think it now good time to
go slowly, take account of stock, +"
and see where we stand.
Let us elect men who we know are
for the interests of the people, who will
watch the way the dollars you pay for
taxes are expended with the same care
and fidelity as if they were their own.
Such are the men we want. We
cannot expect to have all the luXuries
of d metropolis. We have done we'll for
several years in improvements, but it is
certainly time to give the taxpayers a
rest.
We would suggest that the following
ideas be Incorporated in our platform
for the spring campaign:
First-Reduced taxation.
Second-A system of rigid economy
in all matters and in all departments of
our city government.
Third-That for the present only
such improvements be carried forward
as are absolutely necessary.
Fourth That the city be re-dis-
tricted and the number of wards be in
creased to at least seven, which number
we are certainly entitled to, according
to our population.
We therefore invite the cooperation
of all iwho desire good government
without extravaganza.
Respectfully submitted.

REPUBLICAN CLUB OF KENOSHA.

LET US HAVE A MEETING.
The Citizens Should Be Given Right to
Talk On the Electric Road


Talk On the Electric Road.
The propriety and the desirabilty of
the proposed meeting of the Business
Mems association for the purpose of
getting our citizens together to talk up
the electric road project is rapidly
making it's way among our people.
The matter is being discussed from all
sides. The proposition is wise one
and one which should be wisely acted
upon. The question of the street rail
way is being discussed more and more
by the individual citizens every day.
1t is very important matter to the
city. Why, then, should not
a meeting be called for the
purpose of getting the matter thor
oughly discussed publicly with the
electric road people. Let the alder
men know which side of the fence the
citizens are on. 1t is nothing more
than right than that they should be
given the benefit of such opinions as
might be brought out in such meet
ing. There is not weakness in the
proposition. Let us have a meeting Of
the citizens under the auspices of the
Business Mems association.
