WHEN WOMEN SHOULD RECEIVE
MEMS WAGES.

The agitation of the wOmen's as
sociations to have the scale of wo-
mems salaries placed on the same ba-
sis as that of men calls attention to
stupid survival of an archaic men
tai process.
Presumably salaries are based on
the work performed. 1t is no more
logical to consider, in fixing salaries
whether the worker is a man or a
woman than it would be to decide
that dark-haired women should be
paid more than blondes.
The matter is not complicated
with any question of "woman's
rights" and the suffragette move
ment
Men require certain class of SER
vice-whatever it may be. 1t is OBJ
viously as unfair to pay less for this
service when it is rendered by a wo-
man than when it is rendered by a
man as it would be for the state, in
,condemning property for public use,
to fix lower price for all property
held by spinisters or widows than
for the rest
Experience has shown that in
many kinds of work women are bet
ter than men; they have greater pa
thence, more sympathy and finer per-
ception. How absurd it is, then, to
make the remuneration of such wo-
men less than that of men who do
not accomplish so much!
The world is coming around to the
logical principle that the quality of
work, and not who does it, must be
the basis of pay. Where women do
the same work as men, and do it as
well, and do as much of it in the
working day, they are entitled to the
same recompense.
That they have not always had it
lis due to the tyranny of an out
grown idea that there is something
charitable in giving employment of
any kind to woman, and the belief
that she ought to be correspondingly
grateful for being allowed to earn
any sort of living.-Chicago Ex-
aminer.

"If it took the Federation of Wo-

last half century, says Eliza Cal
vert Hall, author of Aunt Jane of

"LlOydS" in the Uncertain Class.

The mystic term, "Lioyds," which for
three hundred years has stood for the
place where Englishmen and others
have been accustomed to hedge against
all sorts of contingencies, appears TO
have lost somewhat of its charm.
Lloyds is in trouble-it may be forced,
so to speak, to welsh.
Lloyds doesn't mean anybody in par
tieular, but one group or another of
spectators, members of the Lloyds As
ISOLATION, has heretofore usually been
ready to take chances on almost any
thing. It appears that Of these groups,
one OF the most active in American
risks is about a million and three-quar-
tiers to the bad, and may be unable to
pay.
The long prestige of Lloyds may,
therefore, be over. The pitcher would
seem TO have gone once too often to the
well.
The Washington times., 1908-08-08

nois the State funds have gone TO State
uses instead of to party uses.
Representative Foss, who is opposed
to Mr.. Hopkins by a strong good
government movement, has no support
save that of the men behind the move
ment, one or two magazines, and the
Deneen following so far as it mas not
been brought into line for the machine.
Ii he wins, the triumph for disinter-
ested representation OF the people in
Congress viii be overwhelming and al
most as significant as the defeat of
Senator Long in Kansas, If he loses,
the people and the Republican machine
in Illinois viii have drawn approx
mately equal prizes and the only move
ment genuinely rebuked will be that for
Mr.. Yates, the measure of his offending
being that he dared to stand for office
without Endorsement from either the
body of Republicans or the managers of
the party.
What is likely to happen is this:
The denomination of Deneen; a failure
to nominate for the Senate at the pri-
maries and a consequent reference of
the selection to the Legislature, which
means machine control and the renomi-
nation of Hopkins; the final settling of
Yates; such a jointure of selfish inter
ests that Federal Crowd, !" Deneen fol-
lowers, Cook county machine, and plain
Republicans must all work vigorously
at the polls in November. But if the
unexpected should happen and Foss
should beat Hopkins, there would then
be a revelation of power in the average
voter to think for himself and determi-
nation 20 think radically which would
cast a shadow Of strong doubt over the
whole campaign for the Presidency.

LOStI StrayedI or Stolen |

Conscientious readers Of that inter
esting branch of the daily news en-
titled the >ather report viii probably
recall the fact that within the past
two weeks three cool waves have
started eastward from the Rocky
mountains. were due to arrive at the
coast of the Atlantic at a given hour,
and, though eagerly awaited, never ar
rived. The question naturally arises,
Where are they2
Without attempting to go too deeply
into the probabilities of the case, let
Us look at some facts. a cold wave is
not small affair like a tin whistle,
but is broad-miles wide-and deep.
The disappearance of an article as
big as this must be noticed. It can't
vanish in the corner of the barn. Now,
a cold wave leaving Denver today, let
US say, in good order and condition.
and moving eastward until it reaches
the basin of the Ohio (if there really
be such a river), then to mysteriously
vanish, is proposition difficult to un-
derstand.
Our candid opinion is that these three
cold waves are secreted somewhere near
Cincinnati, possibly being utilized Tor
cheap refrigeration purposes Mean
time Washington either cooks in Sic
sun OF melts in the hot rain. Ne,
therefore, call on the National Weather
Bureau for an investigation. If it be
proved that the Cincinnati folks have
got orr cold waves, let the Govern
ment demand their immediate release,
with liberal demurrage for their unwar-
ranted detention.
This is no joke.

A Mixed Battle in Illinois.

Passengers of every class are on
the Republican train which ends its
run with the Republican primaries the
close of this week in Illinois. Reform
ers, efficient administrators of the State
government, machine politicians, cor
ruPtionists, and the plain peepu are all
aboard. Who viii be in ultimate con-
troll is a question. But from the pres
ent outlook it is unlikely that any sin
gle group will be commissioned as train
crew.
The situation in Illinois has become
more and more complicated 4 whole

pound it. For the present it must serve
to note
That Governor Deneen, who is up for

the Chicago machine some time since

Tom Can Fiddle.

Although the campaign thu far is
almost apathetic, with only here and
there the uprising of some prominent
Tammany man to state that, if Bryan
does not carry New York, he will carry
some other State, now and then an
unexpected item of important news is
printed relative to the candidates and
the campaigners.
Such an item is telegraphed from
Petersburg, Ind, where Thomas L. His
gen was born. Tom is popular there.
An effort will be made to induce the
Democratic and Republican leaders to
allow him to carry that city. The
effort may not be successful. Again, it
may be that he will carry Petersburg,
no matter what the leaders of the old
parties try 20 do
Mr.. Hisgen, according to the dispatch
from Petersburg is a violinist. On a
recent visit TO his sister, he attended
a dance. The fiddler did not show up.
Thomas acted as substitute 1t was
one of the most successful social events
of the season.
There is hint for Mr.. Hisgen's cam
paign manager. He is to conduct a
platform campaign, but he should
conduct it with a fiddle. Let him tour
the country with his violin, and he will
capture thousands Of votes that other
wise would be given to that eminent
and tireless vocalist, William Jennings
Bryan. If the Hisgen managers know
their duty, they will attend to that i'm
portant detail at once.
