Gladys and Her Soldering Iron.

Dispatch.
In certain charming romances depicting
an ideal future,such as VIM. Morris News
From Nowhere and Bellamy's Look
ing Backward the young woman is
shown as an expert in mechanical lines,
as well as Independent financially. She
knows as much as her brother of the
new and startling inventions and can
mend her automobile or flying machine
without waiting for any man.
A Post-DisDa tch reader complains
that he can get no work for his son be-
cause young women are now doing all
sorts of mechanical work in factories.
including soldering lin cans. painting
buggy wheels. etc.
So it appears we are working toward
the ideal state. when every woman will
be her own mechanic No one is sur
prised if man shows aptitude as a
jack Of all trades He is expected to be
able to do odd jobs at mending his own
bicycle, or painting his own house. if he
chooses. But d woman doing such
things has been d rara avis. She can
cook. but not tinker.
That Gladys has taken to the solder
ing iron and paint brush is undoubtedly
hard on the young man of today who
must look around and learn to do some
thing to which Gladys has not yet turn
ed her hand She is still practically un-
known in certain lines Of industry. such
as railroading. motorneering. steamboat
ing and farming. though she appears
spcradlcally ia these callings. Her lack
of nerve and her petticOats make it diff
feult for her to Dust the men every
where.
But her newIy-learned mechanical
skill viii serve the race in good stead
when matters get better adjusted. When
everything is done by machinery we
may see her working alongside the man
or INDEPENDENTLY and the result will be
doubling Of effectiveness. She may
help TO make his work more artistic She
undoubtedly handles the soldering iron
with more grace than he does.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Treat the south Fairly.

Leslie's Weekly.
1t would seem only necessary TO con-
slider this whole matter of the appoint
ment Of colored men and women to
public office, north or south from a
calm, dispassionate and, so far as pos
slole. unprejudiced point of view. to
avoid all the controversy and ill-feeling
which have been lately stirred UP over
this subject. Every intelligent person
IN this country must understand by
this time exactly how the southern peo-
pie feel about such appointments and
what the general sentiment is in that
section of the union in regard to the
appearance of members of the colored
race in any prominent political way.
Even those who regard this sentiment
is i'm no way remarkable or surprising.
That it does exist we all know, and we
know also that this feeling is deep.
fixed and apparently ineradicable. We
also know and viii admit, if we are
frank about it, that much the same
feeling obtains in the north. In theory,
we of the north regard the negroes as
entitled TO equal rights, privilege and
recognitions in politics and business
with ourselves But as matter of
fact, we believe nothing of the kind.
Our practices here, at least are almost
an antipOdal distance from our the
cries. There are in truth, few neigh
borhoOds in the north where a colored
ton would be much more welcome than
ne is in the south. Especially would
this be true in a small pOstoffice, the
worst of all possible places to put a
person who, for any reason, is socially
obnoxious.

The funeral of Mrs. Clifford Smith,
daughter of MIR. and Mrs. John w.

such shock to relatives and friends
here, will be conducted Thursday at
ternoon at Summeryille, N. J. Such

The death of Mrs. Smith is deeply
deplored among hun 7reds here who

the heartfelt sympathy of'all.
The death of their loved one was as
unexpected to them as among her many
friends in Americas.
Mrs. Smith had been indisposed for
some time but letter received from her
physician on Monday morning, follow
ed by a telegram the same afternoon,
was most reassuring, and it was be
lieved by her family here that she
would soon recover entirely.
Only few hours later came the
dread message announcing her death.
Mr.. Crawford Wheatley left imme-
diately yesterday for Jersey City, where
his sister resided, to attend the funera
tomorrow. Other members of tbs
family here could not attend.

became the bride of Mr.. Clifford Smith,
Of Jersey City. Their married life was
an ideally happy one aud, as two Low
ers, they haye wendell their way hand

the life of the other.
Than theirs, no married existence
was ever more beautiful.
Mrs Smith was forty seven years O.
age, a member of the Presbyterian
Church, and in her adopted home O
twenty years, as in Americas, she a,
loyed among all for her genial, happy
disposition and many rare virtues
Her death has indeed brought keenes
anguish to the hearts of many here
who loved her.
And this sorrow IS extended to hel
dear ones here whose hearts are bleed
