Water in st. Louis.
a Possible Means Of Securing a Pure
Water Supply in Cities.

Some person who may have been
cruel only to be kind has suggested
that people who intend to go to the
ST. Louis exposition will do well 10
find ont what sort Of water supply
VIII be afforded them. The Mississip-
pi is one of those rivers which, as
drinking material, could be filtered.
boiled, fried, and roasted without ma
terial injury, and if that is the water
which visitors TO the city are expected
to drink, they viii have reason 10
think about germs.
This suggests that there may be at
least one way Of inducing careless
municipal governments to look after
the water supply. OF course, the
Federal Government cannot compel
cities 20 supply their reservoirs with
filtration plants, nor can public sen
hment IN one part Of the country al
tect the sanitary habits Of another.
But with a growing interest in pure
water on the part Of the people of
the country in general, cities which
desire TO be chosen for conventions
VIII be brought to understand that the
reputation of bad water viii injure
their business.
Let the desire for good water and
healthful conditions be SO strong IN
this country that people Of intelli-
gence aid means viii refuse 90 stay

Woman and Mr.. Smoot.
Public Action Of the Sex a Sign Of Ad-
vanced Civilization.

The assembling in this city of
prominent club women from different
parts of the United States to inhu-
enee action in the Smoot case. repre-
sents a typical feature of oar civilza-
lion, a feature, in fact, that hes very
close TO the foundation of our nation

has been the subject of endless carica-
ture and more serious attack, even
from the pulpit Many who profess
to be of the good old-fashioned' sort
have cried out that women are desert
ing their homes, their babies. and
their husbands, and the duties for
which God intended them, TO engage
IN activities suitable alone for man.
These alarmists have beheld in the fu-
ture a race of short-haired, sexless,
aggressive, strident. creatures, en-
gagged IN the law, in politics, in sur
gerry The hand that erstwhile rocked
the world, say these extremists, win in
time stuff ballot boxes.
This Is a dark picture, and certain
women, not representative, have given
color to it. Men have seen with fear
and horror nondescript creatures in
prophetic bloOmers, or divided skirts,
wearing mems hats and twirling
canes, and have taken these appa1i-
tons for forermners of the coming
woman. They view this seeming pos
sibihty with fear because they know
that the influence of real women is the
only thing that keeps the world
ashamed Of wrong and trying TO do
better. But there IS no cause fol
alarm In all civilizations that have
bon worth living under, in all civil
zaiions where man himself has been
bravest and strongest and best
woman has had her full share IN mat
teIs public as well as private.
The strength and progress Of ma
ton Is always proportionate to the
degree of liberty, enlightenment, an6
activity enjoyed by It's women. There
were great women in the heyday OF
ancient Greece, Rome, Britain
France, Germany-women who SAID
and did things. Wherever woman has
been suppressed, the darkness anC
degradation Of the Turk, the Persian
or the Hindu has settled upon The
country. So, whatever be the out
come of this gathering Of notable
women, and whatever be the merits Of
the case, Washington is proud to have
them here; and, no matter how insist
ent they become, there Is not a states
man in either house who would care tC
live IN a country where conditions are
different.
