FEMININE
ETERNAL

David J. Brewer, Justice of the su-
preme court, lately predicted that we
may yet see the day when a woman
shall be sitting in the presidential
chair, and now w. L. Bodine, superin-
tendent Of compulsory education in
Chicago. comes forward with the asser-
tion that women may yet achieve in
dustrial supremacy over men, and that
IL present conditions continue 10 the
end of the century, men will be in
in pathetic minority. After noting
federal statistics which date back some
twenty years and which prove con
elusively that the industrial eompeti'
tion Of women, children and machine
labor has been slowly but surely driv-
ing men out of large cities back into
fields whore heavy manual labor is
necessary. Mr. Bodine is quoted as
sayings
Man, like the Indian, is dying out
and being driven away. In 1890 there
we're s,9l4,571 women employed in the
gainful occupations in America. In
1900 the number had increased 70
5,329,sO7. The birth rate among the
female population is increasing and
the death rate decreasing. 1t is just
the reverse among the males. We are
rapidly drifting TO the age Of the eter-
nal feminine, when man win be back
number and forced 10 the soil and
those fields Of labor where only his
physical endurance win save him in
the struggle for survival"
Little Of the comment that has been
evoked by Mr.. BOdine's statements Is
In support Of his views. Most news
papers are inclined TO meet bls asseF-
tions with sarcasm. "Mr Bodine,
says the Boston Journal, 'siakes his
own little discovery too seriously. More
women work for wages than ever be-
fore, bot no larger number are wealth
producers. The ,BTooklyn Times adds
"There Is one consolation. The pro-
cess Of grinding men down, molding
them, as 1t were, into mine workers.

force be a necessarily slow one. We
needn't expect Il for few years to

the present generation and one or two
more to follow, can stin feel that they

Woodburn, Ore, Sept. 19-The
mayor of Brownsville, W. P. Gilmore,
who has served in the Legislature and
who ran for congress on the Prohibi-
ton ticket, certainly takes the cake
as persistent man.
He has been at work all these years
trying to get a passenger train on the
East Side railway, from Woodburn to
Springfield and Natron, and so far he
has met with little success.
Got up a Petition.
In June he got up a petition asking
for a passenger train daily each way,
so that the people along the East Side
railway might get into Portland and
back each day. About 1900 names
we're signed to these petitions, which
set forth that on this line from Wood
burn, Marion county, 10 Natron, Lane
county, distance Of 90 miles, there
was only mixed train service once
a day and that was only one way.
Only Mixed Train.
South of Springfield trains run only
three times a week. The trains out
Of Woodburn are mostly mixed trains,
the daily through train leaving at
lO;30 a. m, doing all the rough and
local freight work, and having a pas
