Women as ers.


Nothing is more vital to the interests
ent agitation as to her tenure of place
in the wage-earning field.
The TRADE is especially directed
against those women who hold places
with good salary attached. A proof
OF this statement is made by citing
the fact that many women clerks in
the Government departments at Wash
ington are at this time made anxious
regarding their places, even though
they are nominally protected by the
Civil Service. Many of those women
are experts, but as they hold no votes
in the States to which their appoint
ments are accredited, politicians want,
their places badly in order to fulfill
election promises. When political
constituents become threatening, then
1T is that women are selected as vic
Tins for political exchange. The bar
gain is often easily fulfilled except in
cases where the women incumbents
have friends powerful enough to moke
their places secure from political
prey.
1t is claimed by men opposed to wo-
men having a chance TO earn their liv-
ing, that women In offices are frivo-
lous, babyish and Irresponsible There
are but few frivolous women among
those who are obliged to earn their liv-
ing. Poverty is stern reprover of
folly, and women who have no alterna-
tive but to work for their bread and
for the bread of those depending upon
them, should not be classed with the
butterfly women who seek places in
order that they may have extra money
to spend on adornments. If women in
offices are frivolous, babyish and ire
sponsible, it is because men have Sc
lected such from choice. The number
TO competent, womanly women asking
for work is so vastly in excess of the
number of their frivolous sisters max
ing the same demand, that it is but a
weak subterfuge for men to claim that
woman's work is necessarily incompe-
tently performed.
Women are thankful that the de-
mand to turn them adrift without en-
ployment is far from being universal
among men. 1t is noticeable that most
of the babble comes from an unscru-
pulouS class of politicians, from very
young men whose Judgment is not ae-
cepted as conclusive, and from men
who have outlived the years of clear
discernment. More and more of the
thoughtful class of conscientious men
are glad to have women given the
chance to fill good places and get the
pay for their services. These are the
men who are willing that women
should have an equal chance in the
world with their brothers, even to. the
extent of protecting themselves with
the potent chiyalry of the ballot.
The need of women TO hold in their
own hands the power which goes with
the ballot is constantly becoming more
apparent Women need the ballot for
their mental, moral and temporal well

April Vacation in the Public Schools.
To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-A very noticeable feature Of
the past week was the number of
school children on the streets through
out the day. In the Second ward
especially the colored children were in
evidence, certainly not for their own
good and often to the danger of win
dows and pedestrians owing to the
various games in progress. Why is it
the Board of Education allows this
April vacation? Is it because of NOV
ing time" and children are needed at
home to help parents in the transfer
of furniture from the old to the new
home and help set things Alright? If
so the weeks absence from study may
be eXcusable. But then the vacation
if for that purpose-should be on and
after the first of May, for that date is
now recognized as the date for eXpira-
ton of annual leases, therefore the
vacation ought to be changed from
April to May. But if that be not the
object then why let the children run
the streets any more in April than Oc-
tOber? Is there any real advantage?
The scholars get two months vacation
in the heat of summer and two weeks
in the rigor of winter and while the
holidays are with us. Both these vaca-
tions are right, but are any more nee
essary except on special occasions or
emergencies?
May it please the Board to give so
important a matter careful considera-
ton before next moving day.

His lullaby an Irish song.

And wouldn't 1t be fine

GREAT WATERWAY
FINALLY OPENED.
Wafer Turned Into Chicsgo's Big
Drainage Canal
SEVEN YEARS IN BUILDING.

Chicago, Jan. 2 -The opening
of Chicago's great drainage canal
occurred at ten o'clock this morn
ing All that was necessary, when
it became known that the state
would not interfere in the matter,
was to tear out the bank which
the big ditch from the
river. This work was commenced
at three o'clock this morning and
shortly after ten o'clock the first
water trickled into the canal.
Work ON this drainage canal
began in 1892 The original CON
tract called for its completion in
April 1895, but unforeseen circum-
stances arose to conflict with the
work, and so its building has ex-
tended over a period of more than
nine years. The length of the
main canal is over twenty-eight
miles and its cost was S33, 525, S91.
The object of the canal is to
secure a reversion of the eastward
flow of the Chicago river and to
give the city pure water supply.
This is the largest artificial
waterway in existence.
