THE SWEAT-SHoP EVIL,

At a meeting of the New York
state charities conference the other
day, DR.. Lee K. Frankel, manager OF
the Hebrew charities of New York,
said that two-thirds of the cases com
ing before the societies of which he
is the head are due to illness which
Is caused by long hours of labor, in
sufficient nourishment and disease.
Out of 100 cases of families seeking
aid, sixty were due to sickness on the
part of the wage-earners, caused by
the conditions under which they
worked. And yet of the many women
who prefer these conditions rather
than to work in comfortable homes
as domestics, the majority are soon
rendered unable to work and are like
ly to become a charge upon the com
munity. The sweat shops do not have
to improve the conditions under
which their people work, for there is
plenty of competition, and many are
willing to work under such conditions
who would scorn to work under con
ditions 100 per cent better in every
way in the homes of those willing to
pay good prices for the work. De
liberately choosing the worst of two
evils, If domestic work can be sc
called, it would seem merits little pity
for the woman who breaks down un
der the load she has put upon herself
The scarcity of good household hell
Is due to the fact that so many com
petent women are choosing between
the factory and sweat shop on one
hand and the position they would &C
cupy in a domestic capacity in the
homes of those able to pay for it or
the other. 1t is a question Of falst
pride to say the least, and instead o
making so much effort in behalf o
the young women who work undeI
such unhealthy conditions, the bes
thing for them would be to refus,
them any sympathy or help as loni
as they are doing such work. Thu
preservation of the ideals of famil!
life is no longer an excuse. because
thousands Of famiies wanting help II
their homes are perfectly willing tina
the women whom they seek to do l
should go to their homes at night l
they so wished and the wages pal,
would justify the extra expense evel
more certainly than that paid in tn
factory or sweat shop.

ADVERTISING IS BUSINESS NEWS.

Burlington Saturday Evening Post:
An official of the postofflce department
is quoted as advancing the claim that
the original conditions under which
the second class of mail matter was
created have changed to such an ex-
tent that there no longer is the class
of matter coming technically under
that head; that the institution of ad-
vertising has so grown and expanded
that it has revolutionized the charac-
ter of the newspaper and magazine.
This Is the claim of a man who is not
engaged In the newspaper calling and
who therefore has not given the whole
subject the careful and Intelligent
scrutiny which it deserves. The real
mission of the newspaper has never
changed. Everything in 1t is news,
just as of yore. The editorials are
the news of the editors opinions.
They are set up in sman type because
he being directly engaged in the bus
mess knows down in his marrow
bones that the word fifty spoken will
find its way regardless of the size of
the type or the distance 1t may have
70 travel. Advertising is business
lnews-nothing more, nothing less.
yertising news is thus often set up

al te advertisers are in competition
for the attention of the newspapers

Mr.. Lawson, the publisher, said the
other evening at banquet that he
felt confident that he could drop out
of his paper every so-called news
feature and print only the advertise

per cent OF his readers. Some time
ago the Des Moines News lost the
advertising Of the department stores

to patronize this gasoline bank is
provided with metal dispatch box,
to which there are only two keys, one
in his possession and one with the
receiving teller of the bank from
which the auto is sent out. When
the auto bank calls the customer
simply hands over his dispatch box,
receives receipt for it, and sees II
placed in the safe in the auto bank.
On the next trip the box is returned
to him. Likewise il he wished to
draw money for a pay roll or person

bursements are to be made in a large
territory, so that a large amount of

IS OFFICIALLY DEAD.
A Peculiar Decision By An ottumwa
Judge.

Ottumwa Courier: Andrew Olson
is dead He was legally proclaimed
so Friday afternoon in the Wapello
county district court by Judge F. w.
Eichelberger. If Olson were to re-
turn to Ottumwa tomorrow in flesh
and blood he would be dead man
just the same.
"Olson's demise was brought about
by a complication of circumstances,
but the primary cause of his death
was the desire of his pretty orphan
daughter, Miss Selma Olson, to secure
payment of a $4,000 policy held by
her father in Hickory camp, Woodmen
of the World.
"And now that her father Is dead,at-
torneys for the lair plaintiff state that
proceedings will be begun to collect
the money due on Olson's policy.
THE beginning of the story dates
back to 1894 when Olson, stone
mason, respondent at being unable to
get work in ottumwa, and disneart-
ened by his wife's death, left his baby.
daughter with friend of the family,
and went from this city in search of
work in the west.
However, before leaving, he went
to his friend, August Hart, and asked
him to see that the premiums on his
policy in the Woodman lodge were
regularly paid. Hart and other
friends of the family have paid the
premiums from time to time as they
came due for the past twelve years.
For five years after his departure
from Ottumwa friends of Olson here
received letters from him and on
many occasions he sent money for
the care Of his daughter. In all his
letters he spoke in the tenderest re-
gard Of his motherless child and often
expressed the hope that he would
soon be able to come Dack.
"The last heard from Olson by any
Of his friends in Ottumwa was in
April, 1899, when he wrote from Gal
weston, Tex. Every effort has been
made to locate him, but all have prov
en- futile. 1t Is generally believed
among his friends that he met death
IN the Galveston food"

BIBLE is BEST SELLER.

The annual report Of the American
Bible Society shows that the Bible is
still the most sought for book that Is
printed. Other books appear, chal-
lenge the approval Of the masses for
one brief hour and are then forgotten.
In all languages and dialects and
tongues the demand Ior the Book OF
Books continues from one years end
to another and still the demand is
not supplied.
Commenting upon the report of the
above named society, the Louisville
Courier-Journal says:
oddly enough this, the greatest
classic, is often neglected by persons
who assume the virtue of good taste
in literature, and not a few smart
persons, young and old, are quite as
proud of their lack of knowledge OF
the scriptures as a city girl is Of heI
profound ignorance of the things that
country folks know. Without the
great classics Of the uninspired writ
ers such persons admit that the pre-
tender to a love of literature has
nothing upon which to prop a claim
but with them the Bible is volume
to be read as religious duty, or left
unread, and not a book to be read ant
reread because it contains far more
of the pictures, robes and gems o.
thought than the works of William
Shakespeare, the contents Of which
we're so described by the late Colone
Ingersoll, whose agnosticism render>
him unable to appreciate the literar!
value of holy writ"
The New York Times, commenting
upon Professor Phelps contention
| that every candidate for entrance t.
a university should be required to b
familiar with the English classics
says Of the Bible:
'Its influence is, of course, direc
and dominant over all literature; it

Census statistics show that in
1900 there were forty women civil en-,
gineers in the country, besides thirty
mechanical and electrical engineers
and three mining engineers. The fact
that Miss Nora Stanton Blatchford,
daughter of Elizabeth Cady Stanton,
has been appointed a member of the
New York staff of civil engineers in
charge of the $161,O00,0OO Catskill
waterwoRl1s system has called much
attention to the fact that women are

up in Floyd county the average
election expense in the seven pre-.
cints where voting machines were
used was $23.15, and in the nine
where they were not used the ex.
pense was $32.0S. The saving
amounting to about % per CENTS
not as great as many people had been
led to suppose it would be. The
principal objection to voting ma
chimes is their initial expense, and
their chief advantage seems to be the
saving in time they effect in learning
the returns.
