drudge. This practice OF putting the
woman in the place of beggar also
prevails in good" society. There is
nothing quite so mean in this world
MS a stngy husband, and there is no
joke about the oft-quoted query:
"What did you do with the 25 cents
gave you week before last ?" 2 ~
It will thus be seen that no matter
what their natural abilities may Il be,
nor how great and varied their edu-
cational requirements, women are
obliged to begin life at n disadvantage,
and to remain at Il disadvantages no
matter whether they be in the married
or single state. 1t is all the more to
ton just past and of the present gen.
Grafton that they have made such prog
ress.
Even now in IS states women have
not equal rights with men even as to
the guardianship of their own chill
dren. The father has absolute control
over them and can take them away
from the mother if he chooses to do so
The father may require his daughter
TO go into saloons or other vile places
which are licensed or tolerated to sell
flowers or candies or whatever else q
girl may he able to sell. and has the
power 10 apprentice the boys to any
Kind Of trade that suits his fancy. The
mother has absolutely no voice in the
disposition or employment of her chil-
drcn: that is. under the law. OF course,
women usually make themselves heard
and felt even in the homes of the most
tyrannical Of men.
That women have made such progress
is all the more remarkable because they
are Disseminated against as to wages
No matter how willing they may be or
how we'll they may work in factories or

of work as men. and sometimes we'll.
nigh twice as much. they receive. not
more than two-thirds and sometimes
rot more than one-haf as much as men
in the same factories and Vim the same
Offices.
Moreover when women undertake to
secure employment in the executive
departments at Washington they find
the same handicap in their way. The
writer knows individual instances, and
could give the names of the clerks,
where gentlemen are receiving $1,000
or 81 500 per annum; while in the same
room women are doing precisely the
same work. just as well, and more of
it. and are receiving but 5000 per an
mum. II will thus be seen that even the
federal government discriminates
agninst women in the matter of wages.
a lady clerk in the department OF
state was recently complaining to a
senator because of the fact that she was
doing important work in an important
bureau of that great department, and
receiving less than two-thirds as much
pay as men were receiving in the same
bureau for the same work. The sena-
tor rcplied: women are not voters
and men are. Therefore men make
strong demands for such appointments
We are only able to retain women in
Office at all on the plea of government
economy, because we can get their
services cheaper than the services of
men,"
However, in spite of these and all
other handicaps and drawbacks, the
women of this republic are gradually
growing out of vnssalage into practical
independence. Many of them want the
privilege of voting; but that is another
story and will not be discussed by the

eeWE ARE THE PEOPLE"
England and America Can Rule the
World

Minneapolis. Mimi, Aug. 16.-John D
Gooduow, consul at Shanghai, China in a
private letter, discusses the expansion pol
icy as follows:
I'VE should hold the Philippine islands,
the Caroline islands and the Ladrone isl
ands, also Cuba and Porto Rico. It does
not matter whether we call them war in
demnity what We need them in our
business. lou have no idea and cannot
have until you get out here, where all ma
lions are fighting for trade. what an in
tense jealousy there is of the United
States Just now the continental pow
ers seem more jealous of US than even Of
England. If we are to have anything to
say we must have an authority to have
a navy, we must have cOaling stations.
That means the Sandwich islands and the
Philippines. To handle our navy eCOnOm-
ically and effectively we must build the
Nicaragua canal, and, in my opinion, we
should buy a strip of land across Noca-
ragua to build our canal in our own ter
ritOry. Look on the map showing the
routes of full power steam vessels and
you will see that every trade route to the
ISthmuS passes Cuba and Porto Rico. The
nation controlling those two makes the
canal at the iSthmus private waterway
whenever it wants to. Also, Cuba controls
the Gulf of Mexico and the water routes
to the mouth of the mississippi. 1t is
big programme, but think we have got
to do it. England controls absolutely one
route to the east by the Mediterranean
and the SueZ canal. Let control the
other route by the Nicaragua, and the
Anglo-American alliance rules the world.
Not continental nation would dare op-
nose us for we could starve them out

funitieS a they come along

last evening. AT 1:30 he again desert

Fisher made several unsuccessful at

Captain Grinstead had ordered that

gone for the chains when Fisher made
a break through the lines. The officer
of the guard ordered them to shoot at

shots were fired, but the deserter made
good escape. Captain Grinstead offers
$25 reward for his apprehension, and

Fisher is from Harper, Kan, is a COL
lege graduate and highly connected. He
was clerk at the canteen prior to his
desertion, and is said to be $500 short
in his accounts. The affair caused quite
a commOtion in the Twenty-first kan
sas, and it is said Captain Grinstead is
to be arrested for ordering the guards
to shoot. If Fisher is caught he will
probably do service in the penitentiary
for a, number of years.

ONLY U. s. VESSELS
May Clear at D. S. Ports for Porto
Rico.

Washington, D. c.. Aug. 16.-The secre-
tary of treasury has sent the following
telegram to all collectors of customs:
Vessels may clear to ports in Cuba and
Porto Rico subject to the laws and regu-
latiOns in force relating to clearances, ex-
cept that vessels of the United States only
will be cleared for the transportation of
merchandise in the trade between the
United States and Porto Rico
Although this order has the effect of
making our cOaStWise trade applicable to
Porto Rico, inasmuch as American mer-
chant vessels only are permitted to clear

States and the order issued is military
measure, which may be modified or re-
vOked by the president at will. The con-
stitutiOn of the United States provides
that All duties, impOStS and excuses shall
be unifrom throughout the United States,
and therefore when Porto Rico becomes a
part of the United States our customs
laws must apply to that country. Hence
the distinction.
A question which may become trouble

was protected by a high tariff. Under the
present law coffee is admitted to the
United States free of duty. and if that
particular feature should be made appHca-
bic to Porto Rico, it is asserted that the
practical destruction of the coffee planta-
tons of the island will be the inevita BILE
result. What may be done hereafter for
the relief of the situation cannot now be

LARGER ARMY NEEDED.
War Department Will Ask Congress
to Increase the Force.

Washington, Aug. 16.-The war depart
ment will ask congress to increase the
standing army even beyond its present
war basis.
The department has decided that So. 600
men who have gone to the front and have
seen service will not be sufficient for the
needs of the government.
The whole volunteer army will disap-
pear as soon as the president issues his
final peace proclama ton. It is the under
standing that 100000 will be needed at
home, in Cuba, in Porto Rico and in the
Philippines. The proclamation of peace
will disband all the volunteers and neces-
state enlistmentS.
General Alger said today it was the in
tention of the department to garrison the
places named, with both regulars and

adelphia, Senator Cushman K. Davis of
Minnesota and Senator c. w. Fair

vited to be present and express their
views.
A couple of weeks ago the directors
of the association passed a resolution

to write to the governor of each state

the opinion in his state as to what the
government should do in this matter
and also to ask each governor if the
sentiment is for or against the reten-
ton of the territory that has fallen into
our hands through the fortunes of war.
These letters will be read at the con-
ference.
