Women In Business.

st. Louis Globe Democrat.
What one writer calls the 'reac-
ton against women in offices is
another phase of our commercial de-
velopment Just at the time when
no door seemed closed to militant
womanhood marching on the bust
ness world in vast, far reaching bri-
gades, with banners flying, there is
the sound of slamming doors in ev-
cry direction. What means this
swift change IN the set Of the wind !?
Emancipation Of the fair sex from
the cares of "husw fiery" pointed to
by an iuvincible sisterhood of suf-
fragists, going forward so prosper
ously, is now becalmed, hindered by
headwinds and contrary currents, a
wondering, sail tapping fleet, not
getting on at all. mo woman need
apply says this writer, "is the law
today in most corporation offices, in
most railroad offices. in many voca-
tions where they were welcome ten
years ago. Seventy three promi-
nent business men in Chicago have
been interviewed. They say, one
and all: "We do not want women
To the loud resoundiug Why one
employer gives the answer that in
the main is the answer Of all the
other seventy-two. He says: "A wo-
man gets married as soon as she
learns enough TO be of some account
or else cries if ! speak quickly to
her" There, then, seems to be the
fatal weaknesses that are closing the
door of hope TO women in business.
But are they fatai2 Are these in
eradicable faults? Must a woman
always get married and cry? Two
things that seem irreconcilable with
her success in the realms of COM
merce, In this age of thingless things
is the harsh and unfeeling deity that
presides over the counting room and
the counter going 70 insist on the
fearless woman? And must those of
the gentler sex take vows of celibacy
as their sisters do who cousecrate
themselves 20 monastic holiness
when they would join that great
army that asks and earns IA salary?
To wed not and to weep not is then
the hard bargain which is to be
driven with them. But it can not
be. Bar the gates TO employment if
you will be SO cruel but womanhood
will continue TO marry, and when
the occasion seems to justify it, melt
into tears.

'The red sun slipped over the edge
of the earth and left her sitting there.
She was very lonely After moment
she walked to the window and began
reading her letter for the fiftieth time.
Dear Lady O. Nine was its first line
Dear Lady o Mine"
Anne Staceys laggard fingers drop
ped from the typewriter keys into her
lap, and she whispered the last words
Of the paragraph to herself almost low
ingly. The story was too nearly fin
ished to he written all over again, and
yet That was the very phrase which
opened the note lying Mt her side
To epitomize the romance of her own
life was one thing, she thought: to use
its language was another. For an in
slant she was Disguised at the .colec-
ton that she had intended to off,r any
part Of the little history for sale. and
she was about to tear the page from
the machine. Then came the reaction.
She remembered how many empty
hours she had spent in an attempt to
force something purely imaginary from
her brain. She knew the story she had
lived and written was an interesting
story aud that she could dispose Of it.
After awhile the tired fingers returned
listlcssly to the keys, and the sentence
in her mind staggered across the white
sheet before her.
The end of the procession had been
reached when the dinner bell rang.
Anne Stacey laid the completed manu-
SCRIPT on her desk and added the note
to Il small bundle locked in her bureau
drawer. Then she stood before the mir
ror and pattcd her soft brown hair in
several places The face that stared
back mt her was plain face sweet
and honest. hut FAR from beautiful.
The mouth was too large. the nose too
small the eyes sufficiently far apart
to denote intellectually. but not near
ly close enough for that prettiness
which is worth so much more to a wo-
man. Anne had been told these things
almost from the time that her eldest
brother had been able to talk. but she
sighed as she crossed her tiny room and
walked into the hallway mingled
odor Of cabbage and burned beef as
cended the stairs with the noise of
many voices Then The bell rang again,
and Anne went to dinner.
She had expected to make corrections
In her story afterward and to post IL
when she went out for her usual car
ride. Instead. she unlocked the drawer,

ed with the Standard Oil company
to the effect that the general evil
dence on which the public has form
ed its judgment was prejudicial, but
this rebuttal evidence has not been
OF kind to command respect. The
real Significance of the present phase
of the discussion is that at last the
Standard Oil people have shown sur
ficient ssnsitiveness about the mat
ter to offer explanations and ex-
cuses. The public has heretofore
looked upon them as utterly devoid
OF all sensibility.

The Disgusting Eaton.

Appleton Post.
Senator Barney Eaton Of Milwau-
kee is disgusting everybody that was
not disgusted by him before. He has
not only awaited himself Of the i'm
munity which his membership in
the state legislature affords him to
stave off his trial upon two charges
Of bribery which have been formu-
lated against him by IA grand jury,
but he has had the unmitigated gall
to play the role of lobbyist in opposi-
tion to the anti-cigarette bill. Truly
the fellow has merited Impeachment
and proceedings accordingly may
yet be taken.

The Worm Turns.

Milwaukee News,
Standard Oil is growing sensitive.
For years it has ignored public SEN
timeut and ridden rough shod over
the laws Of the lard. 1t has been inn
mune to understanding not for the
praise OF sycophar IL or the bitter
words Of its victims. Books have
been written exposing it's evil ways.
Magazine writers have fallen afoul
of il. One Of its Instruments has
turned upon it and Implicated it in
the Am llgnmated swindle. Yet it
remained silent
At last, however, tie worm has
turned. Standard Oil has come to
its own defense. Its officials and
lawyers are proclaimlng its goodness
its respect for the law, its hatred of
evil things, and its benevolent pur-
poses The straw that broke the
came's back was the Sl00,' 90 dona-
ton made by Mr.. Rockefeller to the
mission fund OF the Congregational
lists. The outroil that foilowe ed It e
cry of "taintcd money" aud 'un-
clean that issued from pulpit aud

capabilities of the oil monOpulists.
50 Standard Oil has taken the field
to court the good opinion Of the Am.
erican people. 1t is finding out that

There was every reason why all should
