THERE was hue and cry abou,
the "new woman" when women
jumped into mems places and office.
work 80 suddenly few years ago.
Some said it meant throwing out of
work men who had families depen-
dent upon them, while others de-
precated the unfemininity Of the in
novation. But woman got there
as she usually does-and today there
are posts of trust and honor, down
to the manual labor in Offices and
print-shops, by the Thousands where
female workers are found to be more
desirable than male. The govern
ment, for long time ahead Of other
employers, utilized women as clerks
and helpers, and the departments at
Washington for many years have
teemed with lady office-hofders. But
reaction is now setting in. The
government is gradually wedding
out female help and replacing it
with male. No excuse is given for
this under the Roosevelt administra-
ton, and it must be accepted as o
political move since there ia no reas
enable complaint against the en-
p!oying of women. In fact, they
have demonstrated their equality if
not superiority to men in most of
the positions they fill. 1t is hardly
to be feared that this public move
will be followed 10 private, az en-
ployers who ere not bound by poll.
tical debts will continue to keen
their women helpers, where they
have demonstrated capability. Econ.
omy is also vital point to men OF
busineas, and women command
smaller salaries than do men.

AN oDIoUs COMPARISON.

A friend has sent ne the following
which he clipped from Warrenton,
We, paper just after Christmas of
last year. The sender enters a pro-
test against the invidious compare
son in the last lines.
1--WE congratulate the bar-keepers of
Warrenton for voluntarily closing their
places of business on Christmas day.
Due to that fact alone, it was the sober
est Christmas day crowd we have ever
seen in Warrenton. There were a great
many people on the streets, but very
few were drunk, and by ten O'Clock
everything was quiet and all the people
In their homes-the proper place for
them. This action of the bar-keepers
in Warrenton we hope establishes pre-
cedent that will in future be followed
here and elsewhere. 1t is very much
better to see people doing right of their
own accord than it is to be eternally
talking about compelling them by law.
We are very proud of this action on the
part OF our bar-keepers, who perhaps
first in the history of liquor selling, on
their own motion, closed up their places
OF business of their own will and on
their own motion on the day when their
sales would have been heavier than any
other day in the year. Bar-keepers
have a great responsibility on them.
Ihey can do as much good in a COM
munity as the preachers thereof"
On many of the points we can en-.
dorse our contemporary and join in
congratulations. to wit: the town in
having such good behavior; the
voluntary act upon the part of the
bar keepers; the precedent set which
may bear fruit; the great responsl.
oility of bar-keepers, and the sugges.
ton that it is better to do right Of
ones own free will and accord than
to be driven into it. This far w,
agree, but no farther. The intima.
ton that wrong doors should not bs
talked or driven into the fear of the
law, is anarchistic. Those who will
not be good must be made to be.
have. 1t is fear of the law that re.
strains many inwardly vicious from
outbreaks. We can see nothing in
being proud of wrongdoers mendine
their ways; We can become gratified
and pleased-but not proud. And
as for the class of men 90 highly
commended above being able to dc
as much good a. ministers of the
gospel the suggestion ispreposterous
in fact 30 vicious as to be downright,
insulting to every law-abidiug and
Christian citizen in this broad land
The general that Intentional,
wrecks or devastates q fair city il
due no thanks because he PARTIAL,
restores it. No man can ever fully
undo harm once done. Becaus,
the saloon-keeper bottles up tn,
thirs: of old topers for . season il
not remedying the evil he did in
making them drunkards. Tn,
saloon-keeper's responsibility lie gi
gantic. The little good he does in
a community is swallowed up in th,
enormity of evil. The only way h
can do as much good as preacher
is to cease his nefarious traffic, ani
like Jerry Macauley, devote the res
of his life to saving those he aud hil
kind have started to perdition.
