Chairman Dawson's call for peace
reminds us very much of a Joke we
heard some years since. In the
early days of this State a farmer
had log rolling and invited in his
neighbors including the two justices
OF the district one of which was a
very frugal man and always man
aged TO take with him on such occa-
sions axe handles to sell. When he
appeared on the scene that morning
with his load of handles he found
his neighbors bad preceded him and
were engaged in a first class fisticuff
fight He at once commanded the
peace but no one paid any attention
to him. Dropping all his handles
but one he began TO use it indis.
criminately on the belligerents.
About this time the second ]. P. APP
peared and he commanded the
peace, when the first retoried:
peace, hell grab up an axe handle
and help me make peace"

HONEST CITY GOVERNMENT.

Under the head of "Non- Resi-
dent-Voters," the Boston Herald,
in a leading editorial, suggests as
an improvement of the present ire
sponsible and corrupt city govern
ment an enlargement of the suffrage
by admitting to voice in the city
affairs the large number of persons
who pay taxes in the city but live
outside the the city limits. The
Herald says: GAS rule, they are
persons of character, intelligence,
and public spirit, citizens of the
greater Boston, but are without a
voice in determining the policy of
central Boston.
The suggestion of the Heaald is
all right, but why 60 outside to call
in nonresident property owners as
voters when there is great body OF
non voting resident property owners
who, if enfranchised, would supply
the needed character, intelligence
and public spirit3
There are IS, 500 women property
owners in Boston who paid taxes
last year Oh estate valued at one
hundred and fifty million dollars.
On the other hand, some 6s, 600
men, about two thirds of the presen,
voters, pay no tax whatcvcr-noi
even the poll taxes for which they
are legally liable. The poll tax
defaulters are about four times az
numerous as the women taxpayers.
They elect the city government,
itself composed in part Of tax de-
faulters.
What can be expected but cor
rupt city government under such
conditions and what a monstrous
injustice and inconsistency il is to
tax the 49, 500 resident property
owners and yet deny them any voice
in regard to the amount or expendi-
ture of the taxes they pay, or in the
choice of the city officials who spend
the money.
The cry comes from every large
city in the United States. "What
can be done to stop our irresponsi-
bic and corrupt city government"
1t is unreasonable to demand, in
view of the fact that the men voters
have failed in their efforts to secure
pure and honest city governments,
that the women who constitute bu,
one tenth of the criminals and two
thirds of the church members be
allowed voice in choosing the
city oficials1 Women possess in a
greater degree than men just those
qualities lacking in the government
of our large cities. At least give
them trial. They can do no harm
and may do much good.

When Kitchener took command
in South Africa he was asked for an
opinion as to when the war would
be ended. "When we have whip
ped the Beers" was his answer.
Some months later this was his
answer to the same question: "When
the Beers learn that they have been
whipped" Toward the close OF the
long struggle he put IT in this way:
"When We have found a feasible
way to reconcile the Beers to be-
ing whipped"

Senator Jones OF Arkansas passed
through Washington recently and
spoke enthusiastically of the pros
poets OF the fall elections. He
called attention to the fact that the
passage OF the Mckinley law was
followed by a Tremendous rise in
prices and that in turn, by a grea,
Democratic victory. He predicts
that history will repeat itself. He
said that all over the United States
the high cost Of living was proving
serious hardship to the poor man
and that the poor man knew that
he was suffering that hardship as a
result OF Republican policies. I'm
der these circumstances he would
naturally vote the Democratic
ticket. Senator Jones pronounced
President Roosevelt's proposed con
stitutional amendment "mere bun
come" and stated that the President
was well aware that the real issue
was the trusts and the tariff and
that no Republican Congress would
enact legislation which would re.
duce the tariff or correct the trust

Domestic Science.

\ Chicago cIubwoman has been de
pIoring the ignorance OF household
duties existing among women of the
middle class IN that city. and a chi
cago paper has promptly undertaken
the defense Of the women in question,
contendinE that a young SRI obliged
10 earn her living nowadays has not
time TO master the details Of domestic
science. and that there is no need that
she should do 50. in an age Of spe-
ciaIists.
Most people wiz be OF the opinion
that this counsel is rather short
sighted. There may come a time
when woman can disregard all other
occupations except the one for which
she is best fitted. as man already does
10 some extent: but that time has not
yet come, and it is doubtful whether
such a course is wise even for men
N the present chaotic state Of busi-
ness economy it is best TO have more
than one string 10 the bow
The point at issue is this: the boy
who goes into business expects to
stay in 1t all his life; and it does not
matter whether he learns farming. OF
carpenter work, OF the care Of Z
horse. or any other thing aside from
his business, though he may find il
YER convenient 10 do so. The cir

possibilities IS foolish.
