Who licked Great Britain.

Senator Aldrich, Of Rhode Island,
visited a typical music hall, the last
time he was abroad, says the New
York Tribune. A one.act melodrama
called The British Heart of Oak
was played by seven men and a young
woman. The time Of the melodrama
was laid in the early years Of the last
century and four Of the players rep
resented American soldiers.
These American soldiers were a
ragged, scarecrow lot, for it was the
idea of the melodrama to ridicule the
American army. AS the men came on
the stage they were put through an
examination
What was your business before you
became a soldier?' they would be
asked and to this question, one an,
swered that he had been a tailor,
another that he had been a cobbler,
and a third that he had been a cook,
and SO on
The audience laughed uproariously
at an army composed of men from
such sedentary and combining trades,
but in the midst Of the laughter Sen.
ator Aldrich's American heart was re-
ioiced to hear a voice shout from the
gallery:
Murray! Great Britain licked by
taiIors, cobblers, and cooksl Hur-
ray!'

WHY DO WOMEN EARN WAGES.
Where the Responsibility for Their
Economic Position Belongs.

Vogue.
1t would seem superfiuous to ask why
women are wage-earners. But there is
never day that somewhere in this broad
land a preacher, a workingman, statis-
tician, or college professor does not dis
course on the wage-earning woman as
dulging her fling at old-time conventions
and, in consequence, upsetting things mas
culine in a way that is not only hard for
the individual man worker to bear, but
which is also subversive of fundamental
props of the good old time. Whose fault
il is that the woman works? If IL be
crime or wrong, she is guiluess, for
mans laws say she must not take her own
life, and her only choice is between that
or engaging in gainful occupations. She
works because her father was or is in
competent drunkard or unthrifty, or
what is known as a poor business man, or
because he married when he should not
have done so; or, along with fellow man,
he carried the home industries out Of the
home and made them the activities of great
factories. In the last analysis 1T VIII be
found that it is always man who is TO be
blamed Gf any one should be censured)
for this latter-day entering or women into
pursuits which men have labeled strictly
masculine. For one thing the fathers or
wage-earners are never concerned about
whether or not the particular business pos
siblity is pre-emnently feminine, the only
consideration with them being how it will
pay? The father Will SympathiZe with the
mourning of his particular craft over the
stenographers and bookkeepers from the
same source draw from him not a throb
of sympathy. If his daughter can but
make a comfortable livelihood in either
profession that is the extent to which their
affairs interest him. Lastly. man is in
ninety cases out of a hundred her EN-
ployer.
The persistency with which men critics
insist upon regarding the woman wage
Garner as an inexplicable problem Is
discreditable reflection on their common
sense Since the worker is everywhere ia
evidence, there is no difficulty in observing
many varieties of her. The majority or
women. wage-earners give every indication
of being the victims of adverse circum-
stances and only the craZiest imagination
could conceive that millions of women
would voluntarily toll in mills and offices
through summers blistering heat, when
trees aud field flower, woods and sea, Sc
6uctively beckon to holiday making; or that
in the bitter weather OF midwinter they
would brave the terrors of blizzard for less
vital reason than to keep body and soul
together.
This eternal discussion of the wage-earn-
er as a problem is simply imbecile. She
Is not a problem, nor a perverSity, nor any
thing other than the result of social
evolution set in motion and maintained by
man himself, who sits up, as is his wont,
and discusses as a deplorable phenomenon
what is in reality an inevitable result. 1t

SPANISH RULE IN PORTO RICO
Severe Arrangement by Commits
sioner of Interior Elliott.
Bad Condition of Roads Being Grad
ually unprecedented a Great
Field for Philanthropy.

Washington, Nov pa severe ar
raignment of the legacies of Spanish
maladministration of Porto Rico is
made in the annual report of William
H. Elliott, the commissioner of the in
terror for Porto Rico, made public at
the interior department Friday. Mr..
Elliott says 1t is pity and a shame
that during the four centuries preced-
ing American occupation of the island
so very little effort was made to open
up communication; that so small por-
ton of the millions Of dollars wrung
from people in taxes and imposts should
have been spent in the betterment Of
roads, for education or any other useful
purpose" There are yet number of
interior towns whose only outlet is over
ancient trails, but they now are being
approached as rapidly as possible.
The economic value of the road extern
sion work now in progress is demon
strated, he says, by saving of from
so to 70 per cent. in the cost of trans
portation to and from the interior. The
report says that the power of the
mayors to remove the health officers of
their towns seriously interferes with
good sanitary service and that con-
sequently the people, and particularly
the poor of many municipalities, suffer
and die for want of proper attention.

MAY END STRIKE.
Chicago City Railway Company An
nOunces Its Willingness to Ar
bitrate Wage Question.

Chicago, Nov. 21.-A proposition
from the Chicago City Railway COM
pany transmitted to the mayor and al
dermanic committee Thursday night
forms the opening for negotiations
which may bring settlement Of the
street car strike. The company agrees
to arbitrate the wage question, and in
respect to the closed shop and time
schedules makes polite reply. The ac-
ton of the teamsters in declaring q
strike on the street railway company
angers employers, who threaten to unite
to fight the union. National officers are
coming to seek settlement of the dis
pute. The Halsted street line was
opened with little trouble and cars were
also operated elsewhere.
A new step toward peace was taken
Friday. An armistice has been de-
clared by representatives of both sides
pending it's result.
Attorney Clarence S. barrow called
upon Col. E. R. Bliss, general counsel
for the company. Mr.. Darrow said he
was empowered by the men to negotiate
a settlement for them, and a conference
was held and an attempt made to arrive
at an agreement.
