holding that governments derive their

the man who is at the head of the ma
ton. at this crisis. is the plaything of
the men who are hungry for army con-
tracts, or who supply armor plate, at
their own figures, for battleships; who
grind their workmen into striking and
demand Federal troops to shoot them,
and who see in our colonies only en-,
larged opportunities for the exploita-
ton of a commercial creed that pois-
ons the soldier with rotten beef and
robs the civilian to pay dividends on

WOMEN AS HARVESTERS.

The young women who constitute the
Idlewild Club, of Ellis county. Kansas.
have set an example of industry and
practical common sense from which tha
calamity bowler will shrink in terror.
The lack of hands to harvest the enor-
nous wheat crop is so urgent that these
energetic women, acting as n body,
have offered their services to the neigh
boring farmers. and scores of them.
clad in male attire. are now at work in
the grain fields. Ellis county is one OF
the richest agricultural communities of
Kansas. and We may infer from this

that ii is also che OF the most progre3-
