There is a man in this town who is
marvelling over the long range and
the sharp range of feminine eyesight.
His surprise is due to little incident
he witnessed the other afternoon.
Two women boarded the open troll
ley in which he rode and took seat
directly in front of him. One was rat
and spoke in a soft gurgle; the other
was thin, nervous and sharp-voiced.
Having finished reading his paper the
man noted these things in that idle,
trivial spirit which seems to possess
the average trolley rider.
Presently as the car whlzzed along
he saw the two women turn quickly,
nod vigorously toward the sidewalk
and hail some one there with an eager
How do you do?'
The car went buzzing by so fast
that although the man glanced invol-
UNFAIRLY in the same direction, caught
only a fitting vision of pink-clad girl
hood escorted by something in trou-
sers. But in that sixteenth of a sec

he struck me as being too thin and

"Why, that wasn't a new dress.

Was woman made to work? Well.

be petted, according to Mrs. Rossi's
good many of them are doing a good
deal of hard and wearing labor. There

| only occasionally do we hear of or
see woman tramp. When Coxeys
army, that great aggregation of the
unwashed, invaded Washington, the
women who belonged to the march

returned after having accomplished as

The privilege of work, the right to
work, has become the necessity to
work. Men are impatient of the bur-
den of the superf1uous woman. Let
her get out and hustle" they think
and say If the position of the de-
pendent woman was unpleasant in the
old days, that of the woman of today,
who by reason of ill-health, lack Of
equipment or unftness of any kind Is
debarred from self-support is unbear-
able. Once the dependent woman was
the rule; now she is the exception.
| There was a tradition-the tradition
that Mrs. Rossi cited in her argument
that woman was to be maintained
in such state as they could give, by
her nearest of kin. Nowadays she
seems called on to support them.
Once things were hard for the men;
now they seem little hard on the
women.
All this seems to 20 to show that
if in one sense woman was not made
to work, in another sense she very
emphatically is made to work. The
women of the kind not intended to
work are for the most part shut in
Oriental harems-or the boudoirs OF
fashionable society, where they pre-
sumably fulfill the purpose of their
creation. The women of the other
kind are, it seems to me, taking on
themselves having forced upon
them-something more than their just
proportion of burden-bearing and
work.-Beatrix, in Detroit Free
Press.

For the Man Who Fails.
The world is a snob and the man who
wins
Is the chap for it's moneys worth;
And the lust for success causes half OF
the sins
That are cursing this brave old
earth,
For it's fine to go up, and the worlds
applause
Is sweet to the mortal ear;
But the man who fails in a noble
cause
Is the hero that's no less dear.
'Tis true enough that the laurel crown
Twines but for the victors brow;
For many a hero has lain him down
WIN naught but the cypress Dough,
There are gallant men in the losing
fight,
And as gallant deeds are done
AS ever graced the captured height,
Or the battle grandly won.
We sit at life's board with our nerves
nlSn strung
And we play for the sake of fame,
And our odes are sung and our ban
ners hung
FOR the man who wins the game.
But l have a song of another kind
Than breathes in these fame
wrought gales
An ode to the noble heart and mind
the gallant man who fails!
The man who is strong to fight his
fight,
And whose will no front can daunt,
If the truth be truth, and the right
be right,
Is the man that the ages want,
Tho he fail and die in grim defeat,
Yet he has not fled the strife,
And the house of earth will seem
more sweet
For the perfume of his life.

A good many queer decisions have
been made by the twelve good men
and true" chosen at haphazard to sit
in judgment upon the merits or
cause. But one of the most novel and
unexpected was recently made by the
Chicago jury that decided that a wo-
man cannot be vagrant, because VIC
man was not made to work.
The case was that of young wo-
man who got her living by begging
and was arrested for vagrancy She
was defended by Mrs. Kate X. Rossi,
a woman lawyer, who undertook to
convince the justice that the prisoner
could not be held on the charge, be-
cause woman was not made to work.
Finding him not impressed by her
view of the case, Lawyer Rossi de-
manded jury trial.
To the twelve men impaneled she
set forth her views at greater length.
The law, she said, defined a vagrant
as "any person who is idle, remains
idle and refuses to work" A woman
could never come under that provision
because woman was not made to
work. The legal lady called upon Gus
tom, history and tradition to prove
woman was not regarded as being
intended to work. She quoted the
poets to show that woman was de-
signed to live a life of luxury, with
rings on her fingers and bells on her
toes" During the last century or two
woman had been compelled to work,
owing to mans inability to provide
for her, but in this man had gone
against nature Woman was made to
be petted, not intended to toll.
The jury seemed to see the matter
in the light in which Mrs. Rossi pre-
sented it, and returned verdict re-
leasing the prisoner as not coming
under the statute concerning vag-
her side, which is, as again demon
strated here, better than having the
law with you. But the funny part of
it is that while the strong-minded
sisterhood has been for the last fifty
years insisting, in season and out of
any business or pursuit followed by
men, here is one of that same sister
hood, who is herself member of
profession sacred to man, for centur-
lies, going back on all the traditions
OF her cult and declaring, in effect,
that woman is out of her sphere when
she enters the worlds arena of labor.
For, of course, if woman was not in
tended to toll, she is out of her place
when she does.
And this brings up something that
has often occurred 10 me. Woman's
agitation and strenuous endeavor
have opened all the doors of labor to
her. The result is that now she is not
only permitted to work, but that it Is
expected that she will work. Every
where, except among the well-to-do
classes, father no longer considers
he has any duty to his daughters after
they arrive at an age when they can
labor; brothers do not concern them
selves about their sisters, they are as
able to support themselves as men
and have a many opportunities;
husband thinks nc shame in letting a
his wife support him by her toll Wo-
men, in obtaining equal rights and
privileges in the industrial world,
find themselves also in the possession
of equal sometimes think greater
responsibilities

Retail Clerks Organization.


The Retail Clerks International
Protective Association reports mar
velous growth since the last annual
new unions were issued.
Max Morris of Denver, who is gen.
eral secretary treasurer, is also fifth
vice president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. He is also a men,
Der of the Colorado legislature. Sec
retary-Treasurer Morris, in referring
to the rapid increase in new local
unions, says: "The members Of the
clerks association have every reason
to congratulate themselves upon the
growth of the organization. 1t Is GER
tainly gratifying to the thousands Of
toilers behind the counter of the
country over to know that the growth
numerically since the convention has
been greater than was the growth OF
the association during the first five
years of its existence as a factor in
the great realm of labor.
This remarkable showing can be
attributed as much as anything to the
general interest manifested by the
employer as well as the employed in
the matter of procuring good, clean.
competent and intelligent help. The
fact that the clerks union guaran-
tees the employer a better class or
help than he can get outside of the
association has had much to do in
contributing to the growth and popu-
larity of the association"
