The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1900-09-15

The effort in The Courier to confine
oneself to the topics which women
are supposed to be interested in, was
at best. only spasmOdic. A sustained
effort to re-edit an Old0paper with ira
ditiOns and an already established cir
culation was expected Of the editor.
Under certain circumstances it might
have been accomplished, though. ma
ture, predispositiOn and temperament
are difficult to train out Of an editor.
My own opinion Is that women are
quite as interested and quite as radi-
cal 10 politics as men are, and that
they are no more interested in dress,
cooking recipes, and little tattle
than men are. This is why the"woman 5
department" Of the Sunday papers is
such a neglected. lonesome spot. The
old fashioned women OF the Arabella
and Araminta type, who said La! and
tainted and cried when things hap
pened, women who had not the pres
ence of mind of Jill with her "vine-
gar and brown paper" would have
read the columns Of advice to Wives
and Mothers" with appreciation.
Men cling to the old fashioned wO-
man and will not admit that she is
gone forever. But she is, and the isO-
lated survivals of the type prove that
she is as extinct as the American BIZ
son. A woman editor Of daily pa
per would have the penetration rot to
run "Woman's Department" know
ing that it is dispised OF women, but
men cling to their ideals Of women
closer and more persistently than to
other forms Of error.
The editor of The Courier is thank
full to the cub women of Nebraska for
their good will and many encouraging
messages and hopes, and doubts not
that her kindly feelings are returned.
l hope that the attempt and the ear
nest desire to serve the club women
OF Nebraska have not been entirely
Obliterated by the expressions OF the
editors political opinions. l believe
that clubs are an expression OF the
fraternity and internationally of the
age. / believe that their energy will
finally be directed towards developing
and stimulating some form Of eco
nomic, activity, nor be entirely dis
sipated as it now is with some excep-
tiOns, in literary study and essays.
The reality of the problems which
will perplex the crowding generations
will secure consideration and solution
from an organization which is still in
its infancy and is still unconscious OF
its strength and dynamic energy. 1
believe that newspapers are needed
by the clubs to record their progress
ard stimulate them by recording it,
but many newspapers can do it bet
ter than one newspaper. Therefore

To this laboring man
the future is bright
He works for his family,
his home and right
He goes forth to labor,
and tries to improve
For the sake Of his family
and all whom they love.
He knows his employer,
will do what he can
To proportion the savings
Of each laboring man.
But If one uses brains
and earns so much per day
Why should the half hand
receive the same payf

and his hearts full Of JOY
Will advance in the future,
and he will employ
The hand whose prime object
in life is each day
To do the least work
and get the most pay.

and its strong helping hand
To lift up each brother
and help him to stand
On the firm rock Of merit,
to live and let live
And all to get pay

Bot the rule that compels
the employer to pay
To each man spite of of merit
the same sum each day
Makes man a machine
without power to rise,
No hope for the future,
no star in his skies.
Thus he plods on
like the OK in the road
Without thought or endeavor
to tighten his load
Oh! wake up my brother

And help one another
for this is Gods plan.
And whether in store,

Bot work for yourself,

SUMMER RESORTS.

ITO the mountains our people in In
ereasing numbers yearly look for those
days Of relaxation and recreation nec-
essary to maintain the human ma
chine in fair working condition. The
languorous sloth OF the seashore proves
very seductive while It lasts. but
many have decided that the an
nual outing should provide not only
radical change of air and surround
ings. but also such stimulation OF
tagging energies as win provide Drawn
and vigor for the return to labor. For
this they urge the mountain climb and
ramble. the balsam Of the mountain
pines. and the clear. unadultSrated
mountain air.

On that date the government expects

all who enlist have the promise Of ac-

NEW YORK, July 1S.-The charter

state that fifteen German steamships
