FROM A WOMAN'S POINT OF VIEW

A communication was received re-
Gently from Shenandoah person, in
which it was pointed out how GER
tain preacher in the west took up the
cudgels in defense of so-called wom-
ems rights. To us, it presented a
slightly different light on the subject.
He emphasized that the influence OF
women is needed in every problem OF
life, and regarded our outside sur
roundirgs as u part of the home in the
larger sense Following is the entire
communication:
Rev. j. S. Thomas, pastor of the
Howard Presbyterian church in San
Francisco recently preached strong
sermon on the rights of women in
which he said:
Man and woman should work to-
gether in every department of life, in
the home, in the church and in the
state. The influence of woman is need
ed in every problem of life. Commer-
cial and social life in this city need
the woman. If there was ever city
that needed a mother it is San Francis
co. The truth is the home is not cir
cumscribed by the four walls of the
kitchen and the living room. The chill
dren are not in the house all the day.
They are in the schools and in the
streets We need the woman, the
mother, to aid in the management OF
the schools and the government of the
streets They are a part of the home
in the larger sense. What right have
they to say that she shall remain
within the four walls?
IF it is woman's duty to see that
beautiful pictures are hung on the
walls of the parlor, why is it not her
duty to see that the pictures on bill
boards and in the store windows of this
city shall be sweet and uplifting, too?
Her children have to look at them. If
If is a won1an's duty to keep the child
rem and the home clean. Why is 1t not
her duty to keep the streets clean? San
Francisco needs a mother to keep 1t
clean. Life in all its undertakings
is a problem for the solution of men
and women working together. There
is too much separation. We have
separated the mission work In the
church and given a special part of 1t to
the women. and we have made mis-
take. The men and the women in the
church should work together. Dowie
said lately that the curse OF the tenn
perance question in the United States
was that it had been made a womans
question. There is no sex in the prob
lens of life.

the way members Of my own sex talk

contends that Geo. ID. Perkins is NOT

that this meeting was merely n step

to force the voters of this county 10

for one wishes to protest against this

A FAMINE IN JAPAN.

Worse than war and equal to pes
Japan are even approximately correct
the inhabitants of whole provinces in
that country are in danger of being
wiped out by starvation. japanese
papers, with the characteristic Japan
ese terseness that approaches brutal
ity, say that unless help comes, more
ern provinces of Fuklushima Iwate and
Miyaga than persisted on all the battle
fields of the Manchurian war, counting
the wounded and missing as dead. In
these provinces more than one-third
of the population of three millions are
struggling desperately to keep soul and
last year, it was evident that the crops
had failed, but this news was care
fully concealed while the war went
on, lest it should give the enemy re-
newed courage and prove disadvan-
tageous to the interests of Japan. Now,
however, the necessity for silence as
to the famine no longer exists. The
government officials frankly admit
that conditions in the provinces named
are so serious as to demand not only
all the aid the government can render,
but that outside aid will be gladly well
coined.
The government has done It's best to
relieve the situation. The war depart
ment has sold its superfluous stores
below cost to the starving communities,
but even this resource is exhausted.
Moreover, there are thousands of vii
layers who have no money to buy any
thing; they have sold their clothing for
food. In the fall, the government forest
preserves We're thrown open to the peo-
pie; they swarmed like locusts over
the large area, sweeping it bare of every
edible root and bark within it's boun-
daries. Whole communities, emaciated
and enfeebled from insufficient nour-
ishment, searched eagerly for each tiny
fern root, or bit of fungus growth This
helped to stay the misery for a time
Touched by the suffering of his people
the emperor of Japan gave $4,000
from his own private purse for the re-
lief work.
Rice is the staple food of the Japan

has begun its good work by cabling

ing in this country there is little reason
to doubt that it's appeal will meet

a GOOD NAME AND GREAT RICHES.

John A. Mccall died in New York
Sunday afternoon. Dispatches say
rthe end was peaceful" He opened
his eyes, smiled on his wife and sunk
Into a coma that faded into everlasting
silence.
II was the first peaceful moment he
had enjoyed for months. Mccall, the
vigorous, scheming, virile head of the
New York Life Insurance Company
had changed in few short months to
a broken down old man, physical ana
mental wreck, bounded by the knoWl-
edge of his shame and worried over
the vast sum he was forced to pay
back into the Golfers Of the insurance
companies. He had been forced 10
mortgage and sell the property he had
accumulated in dishonesty. He was
aiscredited and despised where he had
been a leading figure. No wonder the
old mans last hours, when he neared
the end of it all, were most peaceful.
He was tired, and rest seemed good.
He was too old to recoup himself in
fortune or character. Death was the
end Of his difficulties and the solution
Of his problem of life.
Few men realize lifes possibilities
and opportunity until they meet death
face to face and learn the utter worth-
lessness of most Of the gauds for
which we spend our energies. Doubt
less Mccall would have given all the
millions he had won in one way and
another for the good name that is
above all riches as the best bargain
he had ever made. AS he lay slowly
sinking out of sight, like scuttled
derelict, he no doubt cursed again and
again the greed that had robbed his
old age Of it's crown and his life Of its
latest years. For death is elemental
and the souls Of the presidents OF great
corporations walk into its flood as
naked as that of the section hand
whose dimes have kept up his burial
insurance.
All that is left of Mccall is mem
DRY. 1t is not a clean memory. You
wouldn't for his money be obliged to
think Of your father as men remember
Mccall, would you? You don't want
pour children to think Of you as men
remember Mccall, do you? And isn't
high character and good name to be
chosen above great riches?

Discomfort is a curse, and many are
unhappy under this curse. Discomfort
is likely to grow so in magnitude, that
soon the quality of content is impos-

We're blessed with the determination to
be happy. to make the best of what we
have, which leads to happiness 1t does
not take long to prove that indulgence
is not happiness, but misery. Only in

highest joys attained We read q

In sermon full of simple but far
reaching thoughts, a pastor was heard
to say in substance, that everything is
what we are and what we possess,
that if one is not happy with what ne
already has, he will never be happy
with anything he may get In other
words, that neither wealth, position nor
learning bring happiness, for it is de-
pendent upon the spirit within. For
instance let US compare two people.
One is enthusiastic and proud, without
being unpleasantly egotistc, over
everything she undertakes or comes
into possession of. The other sees
flaw in everything she has, and views
these flaws thru magnifying glasses,
which keeps both her friends and her
self in constant turmoil. 1T is the
little things in everyday life which ir-
ritate most, so the best thing to edu

overlook them for the trifles they real

even to irritate lasts but a few hours,

IOWA OPlNloNs AND NO1Es.

In the opinion of the Des Moines
Capital "Cummins can always be re-
lied upon to act in politics as he acts
in private life, on the lines of personal
honor. The Capital has had SO much
to say in behalf of Cummins during

is unnecessary. If he shall be chosen
to head the ticket he will be a daunt-
less and courageous leader. If chosen
governor he will discharge every duty
with the strictest regard for the public
welfare. His campaign will grow from
the start, and will be characterized by
intense enthusiasm"
