SHOULD He PAY WIFE WAGEsp

bands Duty in This Respect.
Ought a wife to receive wages?
Is the service performed by a woman
in the home worthy of the same remu-
neration as work performed in the
Office of the feminine professions, says
the New York Evening World.
Philosophers of domestic economy are
discussing this point and New York's
prominent club women a k Issue on
the question.
Mrs. Harry Hastings, whose study Of
economic questions, in addition to pub
lie and literary matters, has made her
name one of the best known in New
| York, takes sides forcibly against the
wage proposition for wives.
"Wages for the wife are impossible"
| said Mrs. Hastings to-day. 'There Is
no standard by which you can measure
the services of the wife n mother in
the home.
"Inlmediately a wife should accept
wages for her service she would as
sumo an inferior position"
But do you not think asking for
money places her on the same inferior
basis?'' Mrs. Hastings was asked.
There should be no occasion for
that said Mrs. Hastings. 'sThe wife
is entitled to a knowledge of the dispo-
sition of the husbands money. She
should have a fair part for the main
tenance of the house and a fair part
for herself, independent of the house
hold arrangements.
''Men are more fair-minded now, and
it Is the common thing for the wife
to receive an income. When l began
housekeeping such a system did not
exist. Womap's advanced position in
the world has changed all his. 1t Is
not necessary now for her to max a
wage basis for her home"
Mrs. Sally Morris Cory, club woman
and writer, says that wives should be
paid wages.
"There is certainly no degradation
in a receiving wages from her
husband" said Mrs. Cory. IF there
is a woman living who is entitled to a
regular income it is the wife.
81 have seen the practical illustra-
ton of this idea in my own experience,
and l know that the happiest pms
and the happiest home is the one
where the wife receives a regular in
come.
"When a man marries he promises
to endow his helpmate with his world
~ goods; therefore, 1t is only just that
the wife should receive her part of the
weekly income without question"
"But do you consider the wife receiv-
ing a part Of the income as wages?'
Mrs. Cory was asked. do you put
such an arrangement on the basis Of
paid serviceg"
@Call it wages If you like" said Mrs.
Cory. Il only know Of my own expert
ence. My father gave my mother a
regular allowance, but we knew that
she was a good wife, and had she not
been he would not have been foolish
enough to give her the regular part Of
his income"
1T has been commended" it was sug-
gested, that such a monetary ar
rangement will kill romance"
Romance has absolutely nothing to
do with it. People can't live on ro-
nance. There is always the practical
side to consider.
ut is pure sntimentality to put the
husband and wife's financial relations
on any basis but that of regular pay
ment. There Is no degradation in her
receiving what is hers by right"

CHICAGO GETS CONVENTION.
Has 81 Votes to 1S For Kansas City
and For Denver.

Washington, D. C.-The Republi-
cal National Convention will meet in
Chieago on June 16, 1908. This de-
cislca was reached here at the final
meeting of the Republican, National
Com mittee. The Tote stood Chicago,
81; Kansas City, 1S; Denver 4, after
whisn it was made unanimous.
J.. was a hard fought battle, and
al.!l Ugh the result had been gener-
all. expected the losing delegations
refused to give up hope and many
impassioned speeches were the result.
The utmost good humor prevailed
among the contending factions.
Efforts are being made to give po-
litical significance to the, decision OF
the committee in favor of Chicago,
but there Is little or no such signifi-
canoe involved. Taft men voted for
Chicago, anti-Taft men voted for
Kansas City and third term men were
to be found among the advocates Of
both cities.
But there is ever" reason to be-
lieve that even had not the political
phase of the question been devel-
oped the decision would have been
the same. An appreciation of the ho-
tel facilities and climatic advantages
of Chicago would doubtless have
proved decisive of itself once Chi
cago made an effort to capture the
convention. .--. ''- . ''

FINANCING TEXAS COTTON.
Galveston Bankers Said 30 Have Ar
ranged to Take Care of Crop.

Fort Worth, Texas.-At confer
ence between Malcolm Graham, rep
resenting Galveston bar ring houses.
and President D. J. Naill, of the
Farmers Union, arrange ments We're
made to finance the aJtire cotton
crop of Texas on liber2 terms. Un-
der the new arrangement; The farmer
may ship his cotton to Galveston anC
receive an advance payment in New
York exchange at once. If he wants
the cotton held subject to his order
the bankers will advance him $40 a
bale; if left to be sold at their discre-
ton he will receive $50 a bale, and
if to be shipped to foreign markets
he will receive an advance of $35 a
bale.
This arrangement is only a detail
of the fight for fifteen cent cotton
being carried on by the Farmers
Union. 1t is believed that the an
nouncement of this arrangement will
start movement of the cotton crop
all over Texas.

GOVERNOR REMOVES AHEARN
Manhattan's Borough President
ChargedWith Naglecting Duties.
Hughes Makes 1t Clear That No Ac-
! cusation of Personal Gain Was
Brought Against Accused.

Albany, N. Y.-Governor Hughes
mas removed John F. Ahearn from
the Office of President of the Borough
of Manhattan, and states his reasons
therefor in an opinion of 5000 words.
Charges of misconduct on the part
of President Ahearn were published
in the newspapers in the fall of 1906,
and Mr.. Ahearn requested an investi-
cation by the Commissioners of Ac-
counts, which was later ordered by
Mayor Mcclellan. The report Of the
Commissioners was made to the
Mayor in July, 1907. This severely
arraigned> Mr.. Ahearn's administra-
ton.
This report and the evidence taken
before the Commissioners were for
warded to the Governor, and there
after formal charges against MIR.
Ahearn, with a petition for his re-
moval, were presented to the Gov
ernor by George McAneny and Henry
c. Wright, individually and as officers
of the City Club OF. New York. The
hearing, which the Governor person
ally conducted, consumed six weeks,
and nearly a month has since elapsed
while the Governor has looked it
over and formulated the opinion just
announced.
The Governors jurisdiction in re-
moving city official was questioned
at the beginning of the hearings by
Mr.. Ahearn's counsel.
This was done so that the matter
might be taken on appeal from the
Governors, decision into the courts.
This procedure will probably follow,
as Ahearn's counsel intimated that
such course would be pursued.
The matter of choosing a successor
to Mr.. Ahearn is vested In the Board
of Aldermen.
The condition of disrepair and neg
lect which President Ahearn per-
mitted to obtain in the streets of
Manhattan Borough, especially those
paved with asphalt, is the principal
ground on which Governor Hughes
bases his removal of President
Ahearn, but he alludes also to "grave
abuses in the administration Of the
Bureau of Public Buildings and
Offices" one Of the departments un-
der Ahearn's jurisdiction.
The Governor takes pains 10 call
attention to the fact that personal
corruption was not alleged or proved
against the Borough President-"that
is," he says, "it is not shown, and it
is not claimed, that he has converted
public money or property to his own
use, or has personai;J nrofited in an
unlawful manner by his official con-
duct" -.

Fatal Accident.

Collapses, Throwing Victims
Into the Raging Susquehanna-
Names of the Lost and Injured.

Bloomsbury, Pa. - High water
caused the collapse of new bridge
in course of erection over the west
branch of the Susquehanna River at
Miff1inville,' eight miles north of here,
and resulted in the death of seven
men and the injury of nearly score
Of others, two perhaps fatally. Forty
men were at work on the traveller on
The middle span of the structure when
it collapsed. They were all thrown
into the swollen river. 49,.
The collapse Of the bridge was
caused by the rapid rise in the river.
The water rose during the day at the
rate of a foot an hour and debris
|. carried down the stream by the floods
struck the false work of the bridge
and caused its collapse.
L The accident occurred at nightfall
when the men were preparing to
abandon their work. AS result the
work of rescuing those who were
thrown into the water and caught in
the mass of twisted from and steel was
greatly retarded. The second span
Of the bridge was being erected, and
1t was this section that fell with the
big traveller. 3. ,...,. .s.'...- ~. -
The bodies of four of those killed
were found floating on the surface Of
the water entangled in the bent and
twisted girders and ironwork Many
Of the men were caught in the rapid
water and carried mile or more
down the river before they were res
:ued. William Nesbit was caught in
the ironwork and held prisoner TO-.
an hour with his mouth and chin
above water before being rescued.
The bridge was being built by the
State. to replace one carried away in
a ,freshet in 1908. Superintendent
Lawton, in charge Of the 1construc-
ton, and who was on the bridge when
1t fell says that he has not been able
to ascertain the cause Of the collapse.
