WOMEN AS WAGE FARMERS.

Nothiag is more vital to the interests of
women than the outcome of the present sgi-
tation 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
Washington, are at this time made anxious
regarding their places, even though they are
nominalIy protected by the Civil Service.
Many of these women are experts, but as
they hold no votes in the States to which
their appointments are accredited, politicians
want their places badly in order to fulfil
election promises. When POLITICAL consti-
tuents become threatening, then IL Is that
women are selected as victims for political
exchange. The bargain is often easily full
filled except in cases where the women in
eumbents have friends powerful enough to
make their places secure from political prey
IL is claimed by men opposed to women
having chance to earn their living, that
women in Offices are frivolous, babyish and
irresponsible. There are but few frivolous
women among those who are obliged to earn
their living. Poverty is a stern reprover Of
folly, and women who have no alternative
but to work for their bread and for the
bread of those depending upon them, should
not be elassed with the butterfly women who
seek places in order that they may have
extra money to spend on adornments. II
women in Offices are frivolous, babyish and
Irresponsible, IL is because men have selected
such from choice. The number of comte =
tent, womanly women asking for work Is so
vastly in excess Of the number of their frivo-
lous sisters making the same demand, that
Il is bat a weak subterfuge for men TO claim
that woman's work Is necessarily incompe-
tently performed.
Women are thankful that the demand to
turn them adrift without employment IL
far from being universal among men. II Is
noticeable that moat Of the babble comes
from an INSCRIPTIONS class Of politicians.
from very young men whose judgement Is
not accepted as conclusive, and from men
who have outliyed the years Of clear discern.
meht Htorc and more OF the thoughtful
class Of conscientious men are glad 70 have
women given The chance to I'll good places
and get the pay for their services These
arc 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
chivalry Of The ballot.
The need for 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 welfare. They need il
most Of All 70 protect themselves against any
possibility that such conditions shall prevail
as would surely follow in the case the recon-
mendations Of those should be adopted who
are ffanticaily advocating that women be
deharfed the privilege Of earning their
bread.

Or linger in the starlight,
And hear the breezes blow;
Or pass beneath the shadows,

OF Germany's kingly throne.
But leave to me the memories.

The Northern lights in winter.
OF which SO much is told,
Are thrilling in their beauty,
And splendid to behold:
And golden sea gulls streaming.
AS they dip beneath the foam,
Are none to me so lovely,
As my West Virginia homo.
No matter where linger,
'Tis all the same TO me,
The homes across the waters,
Are none so dear as thee;
And wild birds singing gayly,
In sweet and thrilling tone,
Are calling me TO wander,
To my West Virginia home.
West Virginia, OF West Virginia,

AS I wander DER the mountains,
Or linger by the sea;
And ! leave this life of wand ring,
From these lands cease to roam,
And return to find contentment,
