some Valuable Hints as to Their
status.
A well-known and extremely clever
woman made a speech at the Womer
wage Farmers Convention the other
day, and In that speech she said not
once but many times that the one
thing important for working women
to do was to range themselves together
to fight the tyrant man.
What on earth are women who say
things like that thinking about?
/ Women wage-earners are paid sala.
ries to do their work-not to be
women.
The man who wants competent
stenographer doesn't care whether that
stenographer Is black, white, green or
yellow: old or young, man or woman.
Half the time he really doesn't know.
All that he. knows Is that his work
is well done, in which case the steno-
grapher gets good salary and holds
on to a good position.
Or that the work Is III done; in which
case the photographer gets a poor
salary and will. lose the position the
first time there's a chance to employ
some one more competent
The factory girl who gets fined for
being late to work is fined not because
she is n girl but because she's late.
There Is and should be no such thing
as sex in business.
A business woman who wants to
succeed never says anything about her
headache or her backache or her home
troubles to the man who pays her her
salary. She isn't a. woman to him.
she's an employe. and II she has any
self-respect at all, that's what she
wants to be.
The fact Is. men In business are not
ityrannical enough to women in busi-
ness.
The average man Is so much kinder
to his mail clerks that the idea OF cali
women Is joke.
Business men put up with enough
silly incompetence from business wo-
men to make them out q title clear to
the name Of martyr. and not to the
name of tyrant.
It's all wrong. the whole woman in
business proposition; all wrong.
Women ought not to have to be in
business at all. But as long as they
do have to be in business, then they
must attend to business. and expect to
be treated like paid employees. and not
like personal friends.
II women would range themselves
together" to do the work they are paid
to do, and let 1t go at that, there would
be some use in their having "conven-
lions" and in their listening to speeches
about the "tyrant man.'-who pays
them the money that buys their bread
and butter-Boston American.

AS TO PUBLICITY.
Some Views on Fairness by Republican
Treasurer Sheldon.

F. > ~ -s3sl' y
Republican Treasurer Sheldon makes
the delicate point that 1t may not be
altogether fair to publish the full
names and addresses Of contributors to
the campaign fund for. the reason that
they might thus be subjected to the
annoyance experienced by philan-
thropists whose bounty exposes them
to the opportunities OF all sorts OF
beggars when their names are given
out. In this connection-it would seem
to be pertinent to call Treasurer Shell
don's attention to the authoritative
statement, just promulgated, that
anonymous gifts to charity are really
rare In amounts above $1,000, and for.
that matter in small amounts Only
one-twenty-fifth OF last years ante
mortem gifts were given under q
bushel. Only one donor in ten among
last years givars OF .$88.000,0 900 failed
to reveal his identity. The great ma
jority of philanthropists are willing to
run all the risks of exposure, though
there are modest exceptions.--7lBoston

"One OF my reasons for support

that am tired of Hearing the panicky
talk about his election raising Ned

1t must be disconcerting that he, mag

with an obstinate captain of industry
who falthlessly announces that Mr..
Bryan's election would not wreck the
country?
The truth is that our Republican
friends are badly in need of new war
cries; and new scare-heads. When will
they permit themselves to notice the
simple facts that bi-metallism Is dead
and that the existing dinner-pail. when
1t is lucky, is half-full?

J. X. BANGS, AND OTHER STATES
MEN.
Dispatches from Kennebunk, Me-.
state that John Kendrick Bangs has
entered" politics in Maine. The word
ENTER" is anachronistic. John Ken
drick Bangs's entrance into politics
took place fifteen years or more ago.
when he was walloped in race for
the mayoralty of Yonkers. N. Y. This
Maine affair is only revival, but 1t
appears to be earnest. The author has
already promised to take the stump
for the Republican ticket this fall, and
we read that there is an active force
at work booming him as governor
ship-candidate."
In laying aside the typewriter for
the committee meeting, Mr.. Bangs is
following in the footsteps of Winston
Churchill, Booth Harrington. George
AIDE. Brand Whitlock and other less
known contemporary American writer's.
1t cannot be said that the trail has
been very successful one. Tarking-
ton gave it UP as a bad job after two
years in the Indiana Legislature.
Churchill was beaten for the governor
ship of New Hampshire. and has since
made no further essays. George AIDE
got few lines in the dispatches from
the Chicago convention. penned by men
who liked his fables in slang Whit
lock, the most successful of all, is now
serving as Mayor Of Toledo. o. He
appears to be very good mayor, de-
spite the unkind things said about him
by the Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady.
The modern popular novelist who
wins to a govcrnorship, or even a seat
In Congress, is yet to be brought for
ward There is color to be gotten
out OF political experience, as Tark-
ington found; but from a financial
point of view craftsmanship is hardly
to be compared with editions of 100000
copies John Kendrick Bangs is doubt
| less sincere in his resuscitated devo-
ton to party causes, but 1t will prob
ably he some time before he is Gov
ernor of Maine. He ought to get off
some good Jokes on the opposition can
didates, however, and produce some

will doubles, be struck with the fact
that the only two humorists now in

time for the South To- break away

cratic ticket and that 1t should vote
the way that 1t thinks. That II
could not hope 10 exercise The same
influence through its representatives
at Washington as II they were In
harmony with the national admin
istration. He said he did not want
1t all one way. but he made 1t plain
that the South must become a de-
batable ground before she can exer-
else the same influence that other
States do. He said that he loved the
South and the Southern people and
that was why he had come among

Spanish-American war and he hoped
