question which has been
FL uppermost In the minds Of
many people since the for

employers association, representing the
various trades connected with the

TO terminate the unsettled conditions

Reasonableness Of Woman Suffrage
There is nothing against woman
suffrage except the prejudice OF
human nature. ] grant that the
issue is radical-all reforms necessa-
rlly are-but no cause in the political
world has more reason for recognition
than woman suffrage. Up to about
90 years ago higher education for
women had the prejudice Of the world
against 1.-THE classics would ruin
her morals, philosophy would ruin
her religion and mathematics would
ruin her health, and in general
college education would take away
her desire to be a good wife and
mother, so to protect her the colleges
were closed against her.
While the qualifications for Ameri-
can suffrage Is taking some attention
now because of certain constitutional
action in the southern states, this
question deserves the first eonsidera-
ton. Its importance aud justice lie
over every other question pertaining
to American suffrage You hear
much talk about the injustice to the
illiterate colored man, but what Of
the injustice to the educated woman
hood of America? You cannot point
to single instance where the right of
ballot given to the colored man has
lifted the morals of the community
where it was exercised, but ] defy
you to show me a single instance
where the right Of suffrage to women
did not lift the moral tone Of the
community where il was practiced,
and woman suffrage has a history OF
practical working covering 20 years.
am not advocating a system tc
disfranchise men because they are
colOred, or to give the right Of
suffrage to another class because they
are women, but intelligence should
have recognition, whether it lies il
the brain Of man or woman, white ol
colored, and anything short of thii
savors of superstition and slavery
Ignorance of voters has been tn,

No one should be allowed to vot

STRIKES and Prosperity

A few editors, now and then,
break forth into calamitiOus walls
over the condition Of the country.
Dyspepsia must be potent factor in
such cases, for certainly the United
States has never been in better
physical and mental condion than it
is today. The Boston Post takes oc-
casion to point out that apparently
strikes indicate anything but pros
perity. 1t dwells at length on the
number and extent of the strik es now
ON and wants to know if "this looks
like prosperity" - the unexampled
prosperity Secretary Root in his
Boston speech and President RoOse-
welt in Milwaukee said that we should
probably have with us indefinitely
if we did not open the tariff question.
AS matter Of fact strikes are al
ways more or less associated with
prosperity. Strikes come at all times
both as a result of hard times and
along with good ones, but there is a
vast difference in the causes. The
strikes of the last Cleveland regime
were the sullen protests of labor
against the reduction of wages, made
by manufacturers because the people
would not buy their products and
there was no money being made;
today the manufacturers and the
captainsofindustry coining money
and labor strikes for increased wages
what it believes to be its share of the
in rolling wealth.

tion is obtained from calamity howl.

Anticipated Methods

Where there is not woman in the
case, congress seems to be the party
present. In the matter of the trouble
in the post Office department, It seems
that the methods of auditing are
antiquated and entirely inadequate,
so insufficient that far greater scandals
than the present one are constantly
invited the post Office department is
an enormous machine-and also that
the defects have been called repeated
ly to the attention Of congress,
officially, with recommendations for
the adoption Of new methods. Audi
tor Castle of the department has
again and again urged congress's 8
attention to the ''notoriously defec-
tive methods" in use, but that
august body has not needed. With
such a great organization as the post
Office department Of the United States
having annual money transactions OF
a billion dollars, the most up-to-date
methods should have long since been
provided, and change from time to
time as the necessity demanded.
