Women Wage-Earner

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The entrance of women in large mum.
bers to occupations which were once al.
most exclusively restricted to men is one
of the distinguishing characteristics of the
present industrial age. It's effect upon
social conditions has become the subjec,
Of anxious inquiry. Competition for EN-.
ployment in gainful callings is no longe,
confined to one sex, and heads of families
find it increasingly difficult to maintair
their charges unless their daughters be.
labor at all suitable for women are con.
stantly recruited Many women, married
and unmarried, are obliged by necessity ia
seek employment from which they were
Formerly excluded by custom. Others de-
sire financial Independence Whatever the
motive for the departure of women from
the old ways, it must be regarded az a
movement which is having a. tremendous
influence for veal or woe Its relation tn
wage-earning men must not be overlooked
A writer in the New York Tribune remarks
that while we have been trying to discover
what the effect of the new industrial prog
ress is on women, few except those imme-
diately touched are much concerned over
what changes might be working i'm the
condition of the man whose place, in
many instances, the wage-earniny Woma n
has usurped."
The casual observer cannot fail to note
the IdISe pTOpoTllOn OF WdSe-earning women
coming from industrial establishments at
the close of the working day and to con-
trast this with former conditions While
we are felicitating ourselves upon the
opening opportunities for women and their
success in new fields, the lowering of the
wage rate. the displacement of fathers of
families and young men, obliged by the
new competition to postpone or abandon
matrimony, deserve consideration. 1t ap-
pears from the last census that half the
women in the United States over fifteen
years of age are unmarried. The percent
age is likely to become higher with the
increasing inability of men to marry The
sociological outcome deserves attention.

Doesn't Want the Educated Negro.

Statesville Landmark
There is at least one citizen in Con-
cord who is not impressed with the
advantages of educated" colored
girls for domestic servants. Follow
ing is a copy of an ad. that appeared
in a recent issue of the Concord
Times:
Wanted-A good colored girl from
the country as a nurse. No one that
has been to school long enough to
know how to read novels and write
notes need apply.
Every employer of colored labor,
in whatever capacity, will testify
that as a rule the more ignorant-so
far as book learning is concerned
are the better servants. The great
majority of the young negroes, rs
soon as they get little smatterine
of education,-get above their bust
ness and are practically worthless
Instead of education being an ad
vantage, as it should be, in equip
ping them for better and more eff
Gent service, it seems to be in mos
instances a positive disadvantage
In view OF these facts the opposition
to colored education, which is in
finitely stronger than is general,
supposed, is not surprising. 1t il
contended, however, that by and by
when the negroes become better ed
ucated, this objection will disappear
that they will after awhile appreciat
! what education is for and through
it will grow into well-trained servants
Let US hope so. But that time, if
ever comes, is affair off.

Judge Parker.
The late Democratic convention,
and it's candidate for President, have
/ given signal exhibition OF a mutual
respect and confidence almost unpre-
cedented in our political history and
our party has received new inspira-
ton and hope in its appeal to the
people, who always appreciate and
admire courage, character and dis
erection in their leaders. Our candi-
date has these qualities and can be
depended upon at all times to observe
that self-control in speech and ac-
ton which is so necessary to safe
reasoning and sound Judgment.
With undated trust in the effici-
ency of the cardinal principles OF our
great party, when applied to the

TWO RooSEyELTs RUNNING.
The Venerable Gail Schurz Auaiyzes
the Dual Character of the Prsiten,,

President Roosevelt is an interest
ing. picturesque and forcible charac-
ter, who would have found "A most
congenial and glorious field OF action
at the time of the Crusades. but
sometimes strangely fails to appreci-
ate the higher moral aims of modern
civilization.
There are two Roosevelts in the
field-the ideal, the legendary Roose-
welt, as he once appeared, and the
real Roosevelt, as he has since de-
veloped. If elected the real Roose-
Welt will be President.
President ROosevelt's apologists
have hard work to prove that he is
! not Addicks' active ally.
The President was the loudest of
refOrmers. No sooner does
he get into position of power than
he acts very much like other people
in trading with the bosses and the
machines.
Mr. Roosevelt has been led to not
only abandon, but to positively op-
pose and denounce the policy which
of all policies proposed would be
surest to hurt the trusts in their
really vulnerable point. And he
covers this surrender with argument
that looks like subterfuge.
Nobody has ever been more earnest
and eloquent than he in extolling the
glories, the enthusiasm and the
morally elevating influences of war.
The Panama affair furnishes IN
example of the recklessness and the
war spirit of the President. 1t was
a violation of the law and virtually
a recognition of the right of State
to secede from the parent country.
1t was not Il private gentleman
who uttered these things 1.-THE menace
of the big Stick to South Ameri
can republics) it was the President
of the United States, who deliberate
ly wrote them over his own signature
to have them communicated to the
world on a public occasion.
Mr.. Roosevelt sees an object which
appears to him good or desirable
In the rush to attain it he is apt to
despisa anything standing in til,
way, to forget laws and treaties anC
presidents and adverse rights ant
interests and to regard everybody
opposing him as an enemy Of tn,
public welfare, if not of his own.
! Thus he joins to naturally goot
heart a lawless mind.

avenge the murder 1t asks is this
true 1t wants to know who is re-
sponsible for this lameness of the
law. 1t argues that it is not the
courts nor the laws upon the statute
books. The courts do their duty aud
the laws are sufficient. Who, then, is
to blame, and why do not the courts
convict men Of murder except in rare
cases? The editorial answers these
questions thus:
Because the iuries will not return
the verdicts and that may be because
they are dull to the sanctity of human
life. 1t is not the law that is ut fault,
but public opinion, the only force
which can accomplish full admins
tration of the law. How can there
be a revolt of public opinion against
itself?
"Take this kershaw case. The man
had killed three men, white or color
ed, and thrice had been acquitted.
Who acquitted him? Very likely some
of those men who took him out and
hanged him without process of law
Yet they are to claim in extenuation
of their act that leniency of the courts
makes such summary proceedings
right. They feared that their neigh
bOrs would not convict the man in
open court, upon a fair trial OF his
case; nay, they feared that they
themselves-for any of them might
have been drawn upon his jury
would not administer Justice Not
that they would doubt his guilt, but
that they would not wish the respon-
sibility of open condemnation of him.
Therefore they slew him in secret and
shamed, their State. Let us have
done with these sophistical disserta-
lions upon lawlessness. When the
people want the law enforced they
will enforce it and it is despised be-
cause public opinion is distorted.
