The Women Work Hard.

Farm work may seem to many unde-
sirable for women, yet 1t is the task at
which these women can best support them
selves, brought up to 1t as they were from
children. They are used mainly the
light crops, and. though their dark cheeks
do not show the red Of northern blood. they
look healthy.
The French women, of whom there are
many around Woodhaven, chat at their
work. The other foreigners are less vi
vaciouS. They slow of motion and en-
during. The farmers say that a Polak

patient. farmer unconsciously expressed
the difference when he said that Polaks
were like cows. An American woman is
like a nervous filly.
1t Is common remark among city
doctors that Swedish and German girls
taken from the outdoor work of Europe
and confined in American Kitchens often
lose their red cheeks and their strength,
after a year or two Of service. The change
to indoor work saps their vitality. The
Polak farm laborer is saved from shaving in
a city sweat shop. Her. wages are higher,
her working day Is shorter; she is never
employed more than ten hours. With her
habit of budding with her kind in tene-
ments, outdoor work is her only chance Of
continued vigor. And 1t is the only chance

a paltry fresh air week" but plenty Of
oxygen for a good share Of the year.

TRADES union CONGRESS
BRITISH TOILERs OPPOSED TO CIV.
ING FRANCHISE TO WOMEN.
"Capita1istic Combines" Condemned
and Wars of Foreign Agrees
sion Denounced,

LONDON, Sept. 5.-The Trades Union
Congress at its session to-day rejected a
resolution introduced by the General Union
of Weavers, etc., to the effect that the time
had now arrived when, in the economic in
terests Of women, the franchise should be
extended to them on the same terms as 1t
is or may be to men.
The congress adopted a motion favoring
the payment of members of Parliament in
order to allow all sections of the community
to be adequately represented in the House
of Commons. 1t was also voted that the
parliamentary committee be instructed to
introduce bill In the House of Commons
to prevent any children under fifteen years
of age being employed in any textile or
nontextile factories.
The Cigar Makers Mutual Association in
troduced a resolution aimed against "capi-
talistic combines" which was unanimously
adopted 1t was worded as follows: That,
in the opinion of this congress, the growth
of gigantic capitalistic trusts, with their
enormous power of controlling production,
is injurious to the advancement of the
working classes, as by such combination the
prices of commodities are raised, the stand
ard of comfort of the people can be re-
duced, the workmens freedom endangered
and national prosperity menaced" The
sneaker contended that they had arrived at
time when, If the state did not control
the trusts the latter would control the
state, and that the only permanent solu-
ton of the dimculty rested in national
ownership and control of these monopolies
At the instance of the Navies and Gen
eraI Laborers' Union the following resolu-
ton was passed. THAT this Congress of
British Trades Unionists places on record
its unqualified disapproval of the war
against the Orange Free State and the
Transvaal Republic, believing that the
question of extending the franchise and
the protection of industry was not the real
cause of the dispute, but the mere shield
to cover an INSCRIPTIONS conspiracy to
grab territory and replace well-paid white
labor with unpaid, partially ensaved blacks
and Asiatics. Further. this congress re-
affirms it's continued hostility to all wars
of foreign aggression, which only tend to
enrich the sinister figure of cosmopolitan
finance whose main object is to hold the
workers of all countries in universal social
and economic servitude."

HONEST LIVING.


Important Place Given to IL I'm the
Presidents Speeches.
Brooklyn Eagle.
The things which the President says In
his shorter speeches about the fundament-
ais of good citizenship are old and familiar.
But he says them with unusual emphasis
and they gain an added weight from the
fact that Mr.. Roosevelt lived them before
he became President. A large part of the
Presidents popularity Is due TO public
belief that he means what he says and that
he Is willing to stand for what he believes
at cost to himself. This personal character
gives a weight and freshness to what the
speaker himself characterizes as 1.-THE copy
book moralities'' which they fail to carry
on the pages of the copybook. This passage
from the speech in Portland could hardly
be improved upon as homily on good citi-
zenship:
but the faculty of seeing that We know
how TO apply the copybook moralities that
We write down, and as long as we think
of them only as fit for the copybook there
is not much use in us. We need in our
public life as in our private life the virtues
that everyone could practice II he would.
We need the will to practice them.
There are two kinds of greatness that
can be achieved. There Is the greatness
that comes to the man who can do what
no one else can do. That is a mighty rare
kind. and of course it can only be achieved
by the man of special and unusual qualities.
Then there is the other kind that comes to
the man who does the things that every
one could do, but that everyone does not
do. [Applause.1
ITO do that you first of all have got to
school yourself to do the ordinary COM
monplace things"
The phraseology In this instance is diff
ferent from that in some of the preceding
speeches, but the President has insisted
upon the Importance OF that idea in every
brief speech he has made and as a preface
to some of his dicussions Of national pol
icies. There is value in iteration as well
as emphasis of position. The effect OF a
popular President magnifying in long
series of speeches the homely every day
elementals of honest living cannot fail TO
be helpful. whatever the political results
of the tour may he.

Germans Pleased with McCrea.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-The German
government, through Count Won Quadt,
has expressed officially its appreciation of
Commander McCreas efforts in behalf of
the empires interests in southern waters

ment:
1.-THE imperial consulate In Colon has re-

Captain McCrea, commanding the United
States warship Machias, has complied in
every way with the wishes of the consulate
and has most obligingly interested himself
in the defense of the interests of the Ger
man citizens at Bocas del Toro which were
menaced.
II have now received instructions from
the imperial government to express to the
United States government its warmest
thanks for Captain McCrea's prominent
and efficient actions in behalf of German
citizens whose interests were at stake.

your Excellency's notice, and l will avail
myself of this occasion to renew to your
Excellency the assurances of my distin-
guished consideration"

Sample Of British Sarcasm.

LONDON, Sept. 6-Referring to Pres
ident Roosevelts recent speeches the Sat-
urday Review sarcastically remarks:
President Roosevelt has made his pious
opinions of the trusts clear his inter-
probation of the Monroe doctrine. Theo-
retically he would have American business
men see that he rather admires trusts as
promotive of the national welfare but he
adds, as a rider, that their capacity for
harm calls for greater control. The Ger
man press is still explaining that the new
Monroe doctrine is aimed at Great Britain
and Canada, and many British newspapers
are preaching that the United States has
no wish but for the best friendship of
Great Britain. Both are equally wrong.
German newspapers are perhaps most ir-
ritating to President Roosevelt and the
British press must amuse typical American
citizens"

Gunboat May Be OutIawed.

BERLIN, Sept. 5.-An official dispatch

Haiti, yesterday, confirming the report of
Sept. from Cape Haitien announcing that
the Haitien revolutionary gunboat Crete
a-Pierrot stopped the German steamer
Markomannia, Sept. 2, at the entrance of
the harbor Of Cape Haitien, sent an armed
force on board of her and took possession
Of war munitions belonging to the pro-
vincial government of Haiti, and adding
that the captain of the Crete-a-Pierrot
subsequently released the steamer. The
representatives of the various powers here
are unanimously of the opinion that the
Crete-a-Pierrot cannot be regarded as a
warship of a belligerent state and that the
search of Markomannia and the confisca-
ton of the arms and ammunition on board
of her was nothing but an act of piracy.

Military Escort Unnecessary.

TAMAQUA, Pa, Sept. 5.--The nonunion
men in the Panther Creek valley again
went to work to-day without an escort.
Major Gearhart, in command of the troops.
says that so long as the strikers do not
interfere with the nonunion men he will
not send any of his soldiers out on patrol
duty.
To-day the troops are sending acquisitions
for winter clothing. The men are wearing
khaki, but complain that they suffer from
cold while on duty at night. Plans are be-
ing made to convert one of the dancing pa
vilions at Manila Park where the troops
are stationed. into barracks. The opinion
prevails among the officers that they will
remain on duty for long while.
