NEW FIELDS FOR WOMEN.

One of the crying needs of the
time is employment for unemployed
women. OF course, those who have
crying babies are busy enough.
But as it seems impossible for
them all TO be employed in that way,
the Women's clubs are talking up
courses in gardening and splitting
wood
Lawn-mowers especially con-
structed for ladies, light-draft wood
saws and female hedge-clippers are
advocated by some clubs for the idle
or course. the impression shoull
be given out that women are not do
ing a great deal.
Woman is furnishing more than
half of our magazine fiction. She is
doing more than half of the retail
selling of goods. She Is fast monopo-
lizing teaching She rivals the deft
Chinaman in laundry work; she fills
up the factories; she makes all the
feather work and artificial flower
work turned out in America, and in
stenography she has almost driven
the man from the field"
Such is Mrs. Cynthia Westover Al
den's summary of the position of the
working woman at the beginning OF
the Twentieth century, in "Women's
Ways of Earning Money" just pub
lished by Messrs. A. S. Barnes & Co.
House cleaning, painting, white
washing the henhouse, making and
mending their own clothes. are mere
side-issues with the fair sex
In Europe women are permitted TO
do great share of the work in the
fields and once in while one is
hitched up with dog TO draw a cart.
BY all means, more must be found
to do for the American women, who
are now leading lives of ease and
idleness that is appalling.

The past year tenth grade was
added but the board of directors de-
cided that the question should be sub
mitted to a vote of the electors and
so at the school election Monday,
June 20 a vote will be taken.
The question will be then decided
whether this Capital City of Oregon
shall authorize grades to be taught
above the Ninth grade. There are
now seventeen cities in the state with
the full twelve year course in the
public schools.

SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL VOTE

sIVE IN THE EXTREME.
On a motion of one of the Salem
school board. three members of the
board did vote against carrying on
any grades above the ninth grade,
but that was probably done to bring
the matter to an issue.
For Immediately the same school
board adopted motion ordering a
vote on the question of having grades
above the ninth grade and the matter
will have to be voted on June goth.
Let all understand what the issue at
that election will be and be prepared
to vote intelligently.

THE RIGHT TO VOTE.

Charles Sigel, who has been voting
for 90 years has only recently taken
out his naturalization papers.
He might have had papers or might
have lost them. but under the degis-
tration law he must produce them to
register
He might have fought NIT Siger'
and might have helped establish this
state as a territory. If he had no pa
pers he could not register.
Can a mere clumsy, awkward, ex-
pensiye, troublesome, alleged regis
tration law take away any mans
right to vote. once acquired?
The worst feature of the law is
that while it puts the conscientious
man to a great trouble to register,
the reckless. dishonest citizen votes
in spite of it.
SO SigeI voted for 20 years and did
jury duty and yet this pretended reg
lstration law took away his rights
until he paid IS for a new set of pa.
pers.
