The Girl Help Problem.

The Wisconsin state labor bureau
has been collecting reasons why girls
prefer work in factories and stores
to household service. Inquiries were
sent to 700 persons. Among the ans
wers were these:
IF ladies would only give girls bet
ter rooms, kinder treatment and
warmer beds Ind let them live indie
pendently more girls would do house
work
Il went into the factory because l
wished TO be treated like a human
being
The reason / won't do Homework
is because l will not be treated like
half slave and always a nobody"
Il love housework, but like host
of other girls, refuse to do it under
present conditions
None of the girls / know would do
housewOrk, because girl who does
it is always looked upon as n kitchen
drudge, always on duty and seldom
treated justly"
81 am treated better in the factory
ger obliged to entertain in the kitch-
en- or receive my friends at the back
door, since / can live at home with
my own people"
There is no sign in these replies, as
one editorial writer says, of an in
sistence on the part of servants that
they be regarded as members of the
family. They desire as little to in
trude on other circles as they wish
for intrusion upon their own. But
they complain justly when the fact of
social distinction is thrust upon them
with too much severity. The Wiscon-
sin answers, which would probably
be good for any other state, suggest
that upon the untactful mistress of
the house lies large burden of re-
sponsibility for ''the servant girl
problem as il is.

a ma iority of $50. There was another
surprise in the Eighth senatorial dis
trict, composed of the counties of
Boone, McHenry and Lake. In this
district A. X. Stearns was running as
an independent candidate for the leg
islature on the republican ticket. He
is a friend of Senator Mason and was
backed by the senator's adherents.
Everybody thought on election night
that Stearns had been elected, receiv-
ing more votes than the democratic
candidate for the legislature, Mr.. Des-
mond. 1t was conceded that the reg
ular republican nominees, Shurtlefi
and Lyon, would win, and that the
democrats would lose a man. The of
fetal count shows, however. Desmond

test may result.
Morgan county, Gov. Yatesl home.
gave George Duddleston, the demo
cratic candidate for state treasurer,
plurality of 80. Unofficial returns
showed that Thomas Rees, the demo
cratic candidate for the senate in the
FOrty-fifth district, had carried Nor
gan by about Is votes, and had also
500. 1t is an unusual occurrence in
Illinois when the governor fails to
carry the county in which he resides.
In spite of all this, however, the re-
psIblicans gained a representative in
the district, elected both Wheeler and
Murray, of Sangamon county, willie
the democrats got but one man, Lur-
ton, of Morgan.
Great doubt has been expressed for
some time as to the result of the cleo
ton in the Thirty-second senatorial
t..strict, in which Orville F. Berry
was running for the senate to fill n
vacancy occasioned by the death of
Mr.. Harris, democrat. 1t is also the
home district of L. Y. Sherman. Gov.
Yates is not specially fond of Sher-
man or Berry. Berry and Sherman.
together with Mr.. Hardin. the other
republican candidate for the legisla-
ture, went to work, despite the oppo-
sitiOn of the administration, and
swept up the district. Speaker Sher-
man sent the Chicago Tribune char
acteristic telegram, as follows:
Berry has been elected. and so has
my republican colleague and myself"
Unofficial returns from the Kanka-
kee district election night warranted
claim that Mr.. Dawson. an indie
pendent republican candidate for the
house, had been elected. The latest
advices from the district. however.
many of them being official. showed
the result on representative as fol-
lows: Curtis (rep.) 1880, Russell
(ren IL Parish (daul 1O61O and

elect Curtis, Russell and Parish.
The referendum proposition and the
question of the election of United
States senator's by direct vote of the
people prevailed in Cook county by n
ma iority of 100000. The returns on
these propositions from the state at
large are slow in coming in, simply
because their Importance was misun-
derstood in the country.

Election Results in Illinois.

While Illinois gave the head of the
republican ticket. Fred Busse, the
nominee for state treasurer, an APP
Proximate plurality of $4,000, j. l.
Pickering, the democratic candidate
for clerk of the supreme court, cut
the majority of his opponent, Chris
Manner, down to less than 10000
votes. As the Chicago Tribune (rep.)
says: The revolt against Manners
nomination reached from Galena to
Cairo and from Danville to the Mis-
sissippi river. Thousands of people
would have voted for John Pickering
as against Manner if they had believed
there was any chance of his election
He was supported by many of the
most influential republicans in the
state of Illinois,
The surprise of the day came from
the Twenty-fourth congressional dis
trict, way down in Egypt, in which
it was confidently expected p. r..
Chapman, republican, had been elect
ed to congress over James II. Will
hams, democrat. On the vote of 1900
the district showed republican ma
jority of 2,292 out of a total vote of
1880. This district was framed up
to suit Chapman, who was a promi-
nent member of the state senate at
the time the apportionment was
made. The republican state central
committee was certain he would car
ry it because news of no serious de-
lection had come to its attention
Williams and Chapman canvassed ev-
cry foot of the district in quiet way
without holding public meetings of
any special moment. The returns
that came in the night of election
warranted the statement that Chap
man was elected. The first advice to
the contrary came in a special from
McLeansboro, Hamilton county, stat
ing that Williams had been elected by.

WRANCLED OVER SIN
PRESBYTERIAN REVISIONTSTS PUT
IN LONG HOURS OF FRUIT
FUL 0EBATE

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 13.-The Pres
hyterian revision committee adjourned
today after adopting article V of the
brief statement of faith for popular use.
and Will again meet in Washington on
April 8. The article adopted today touch
eS on sin, and it was productive Of a
Protracted debate. No time was left fer
the further consideration of article Ill on
Eternal Purpose, which had been part
ly reviewed at a previous session.
DR.. William H. Roberts, the secretary Of
the committee, said today that the ses-
sions in this city were productive of mucn
good and the discussions, while spirited,
were characterized always by fraternal
courtesy.
In reply to a question as to whether
there was any indication Of minority
report being submitted to the general as
sembly, Mr.. Roberts said:
The three opinions on the matter of
revision in the Presbyterian church are
represented in this committee. The COM
mittee's work up to the present has been
accomplished without any serious opposi-
ton, though there has existed an ever
changing minority. Whether a settled
minority party will develop before the
committee completes its work is a mat
ter that no enc can forecast one way or
the other. There is one thing, however,
and that Is that the Presbyterian church
repudiates the charge that it teaches
either fatalism or infant damnation.''

bate and a vote Tuesday at or p. m.
1t is the understanding also that the rule

step is considerable of a departure from
the procedure observed heretofore.
The house today unanimously adopted
resolution proposing an amendment to
the constitution of the United States for
the election of senators by direct popular
vote. There was no demand for time to
debate the resolution. This is the fourth
time the house has adopted a similar
resolution.
Two bills of general Importance were
passed by the house, the remainder of the
time being devoted to minor business.
One was senate bill to provide for the
payment of the claims of Confederate
officers and soldiers whose horses, side
arms and baggage were taken from them
by Union soldiers contrary to lne terms
of the surrender of Lee and Johnson s
armies. The amount to be paid under the
bill was limited to $4,000. The other bill
was to confer on the Spanish claims COM

HAD BIG DOODLE FUND
EX-CASHIER MAC LEOD TELLS J
STREIGHT STORY
Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars Was
Brought to Grand Rapids,
Mich, to Take Care of
Officials


GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Feo. 1S-stl-
son V. Macleod, who has turned state S
evidence in the Grand Rapids water sup
ply bribery conspiracy cases, WenL on the
stand today in the superior court in the
trial of Henry A. TAYLOR, of New York,
who was indicted by the grand jury with
Macleod, City Attorney Salisbury and
others.
Macleod, who at the time of the al
legged conspiracy was teller of the Old
National bank and manager of lie local
clearing house, admitted that he had been
made trustee of the alleged Doodle fund
that was brought here from New York.
This fund was to be at the entire dis
posal of Mr.. Salisbury, and consisted of
$4,000.
In August, $4,000 of this was used by
Salisbury in taking up a check that Mac
Leod was carrying for him at the Old
National bank. Ten thousand dollars
was afterwards used to settle other obli-
cations to Salisbury. In September the
remainder of the money was turned over
to Salisbury who gave a receipt for it.
Later he told Macleod that he had re-
turned the money to the promoters
Salisbury had told him also that the
mayor and common council! had been
taken care of.
On examination, Mcleod said he
was led to believe that none of the $75,-
600 was used for bribing city officials.
admitted his greatest anxiety was over
Salisbury's obligations at the bank to
which he considered himself a party
Salisbury told him that the SIS, 600 first
sent here had been used where it would
do the most good;'' that the mayor, ,courl-
Gil and board of works had been paid
to support the Lake Michigan PROPOSE
ton. Salisbury told him the other money
had been returned to the Eastern par
ties
