THE MODERN WOMAN,

Have you seen the manly woman Of
the present day, I pray
You may hear her in the counsels of
conventions night and day;
She is full Of stored-up wisdom,
knows just how to manage men,
But her home is simply chaos, just a
sort of camping den;
She can plan for other people, can
arrange their business well,
Yet, alas! her home, most drearv, is
a near approach to
She is Jealous for the heather far
away beyond the sea.
But she is a dismal failure in the
home where she should be.
She has longed to have the franchise
and go like men and vote;
She would enter scenes Of conflict and
to veal her time devote;
She would have a. place with States
men, there appear for her dear
set,
She would do, and keep on doing, but
while doing might forget.
Yes, alas! forget her loved ones struE-
Cling 'gainst the tempest's blast,
And permit g. mothers duties to slip
past, forever past!,
She might fall to guard her treasures
by the winds Of evil tos't,
Till her own God given children would
o.. be lost, forever lost!
Woman! Queenly, Noble, mighty!
b. fairest of Gods sovereign race,
Do not long for poorest trifles, you
!; may rule by tr,iest grace; y -
Grace you have quite undisputed,
.>&. grace peculiar to your sex, =
Do not leave your holy station, do not
@ sweetest life perplex..
Live the Queenly grace supremely!
ever always wifelike be! :
Live for home and family welfare,
..s~ thus you live divinely free, -
There is not soul diviner than the
~, daughter OF the king =. : =
So dear women still be women by
s Il, your grace you'll victories win.

A member of this union on being
interviewed by Labor World re-
porter, replied as follows:
"The following quotation from Rev.
Stelzle expresses my sentiments to the
letter:
"Too long have we been hearing ar
guments in favor of things which have
been recognized for many generations,
but the era of common man has ar
rived, and this great labor movement
is. bound to win. No human power
can prevent it, and no divine power
will, because fundamentally this great
labor movement is a moral and relig-
ious crusade. Thousands of men are
being deluded by the vain hope that II
they can abolish the labor unions they
will have solved the labor question.
These men forget that the labor union
is not the labor question"

Dispensing Charity.

"One of the most difficult things in the world is to dispense charity properly and deservingly," said a member of the Uni ted Charities. Especially difficult is it during the Christmas season when every body who is in the least charitably dis posed desires to make some unfortunate one glad for the time being. We do our best to help the deserving and sometimes it may seem to the uninformed that there is needless red tape attached to sys- tematic giving of aims, but only those who work in this field of philanthropy know how much we are imposed on at times by professional mendicants.
 Again what makes our task so difficult is often the pride of the truly deserv- ing. many of whom will starve before making their want known, and who some times resent the most well-intentioned as- sistance. A member of prominent fra ternal order informed me that on one occasion during Christmas tide they sent out baskets containing the necessary pro- visions for Christmas dinner, including a turkey, to people whom they knew to be in needy circumstances, and had a number of them returned untouched with an indignant note resenting their implied poverty The United Charities do much to reach the needy poor and are glad at all times to help those deserving

WOMAN INEBRIATE-HoPELEss

From the New I Ork world.
 City justices of Manchester, England have come to the conclusion that the woman inebriate is ncurabe. They have formed this opinion after observing cases and results of institutional treatment. Of the patients who were observed each cost the home $50e for treatment and each was drunk within few days of her release.
 It may be objected to the Manchester verdict that the women sent to a public reformatory might well be of a class savoring of hopelessness and helplessness from the start. Unfortunately. however, there are in far different circles conditions suggesting that there is sex in inebriety. The manager of large restaurant in the midst of New Yorks shopping district declared in ar interview a year ago that hard drinking men do sometimes stop drinking, some of them for life; but hard drinking woman don't"
 If the Manchester justices and the New York manager are right, what is the ex- planation?

RuNkO GENIUS.

From the Chicago Record-Herald
 Prosperity seems to be smiling upon the bunko man and inventive genius is keep ing right abr east of the times to supply the demand of the "easy marks" for nov cities. Time was when the bucolic per- sonification of cupidity was content to take home a nicely plated gold brick' or a satchel of fresh green goods as a souvenir of his visit to the city. On the ferry boats between Jersey City and New York they still are selling bricks and blank paper, but in the wide-awake west the investor wants bigger things for his money.
 A few years ago the modern idea was naugurated by the sale of the Masonic Temple for S2oo, the purchasers standing on a corner to watch the building turn round. while the man fin the checked suit who sold it to him went to the bank to deposit the funds. A few weeks ago an- other investor almost fought some med ding detectives who sought to separate him from a man who wanted to dispose of the gold Diana on the tower of a Michigan avenue building. More recently one of the bronze lions at the entrance to the Art Institute was sold to a stranger by a sport stEent" for s6O and the pur- chaser was dncOnsolable when he was prevented from taking 1t away in a wagon.
 Just as long as the bargan-huntng in nocent insists on being separated from his money he is likely to find one of the ac- commodating gentry to sell him anything he wants. All he has to do is to name it. from the stOckyards the Illinois Gen. tral's terminal to a corner lamp-post and get a receipt in exchange for whatever money he has brought with him. After all, though, wasn't there more satisfac- tion in the old --gold brick where the buyer had som ething tangible to hand down to posterfty?

Coal for Our SbjDS

The official report of Rear Adnoiro, CoWles, chief of the bureau of naval achievements, brings out the unwel. come fact that our battleship fleet has been supplied throughout it's long prac- tice cruise with coal from foreign bot- toms, and as rule with foreign coal This has not only increased the cost of the cruise, but it has shown that in case or war with a power all neutrals would decine to serve our fleet. We would then be at the mercy of q, enemy.
 Here is an emergency that Congress will be asked to provide against. Our warships should burn American coal carried in American colliers. No other naval power is lame in that resnect and if Congress goes on building ba+- tleships it should begin to build coI- hers as well, or else it should change our navigation laws so that there would be plenty of American merchant ships ready to carry fuel to our war. ships.

tortuous course of reasoning, but they reach it, and their windings in and out are in marked contrast with the straightforward logic of the chief jus tiee and Justice Harlan. Justice Brewer does not seem to consider that the states have any rights in a rail road case that anybody is bound to respect.
 The Virginia case cannot be said to decide the railroad cases that have arisen in other states, including Ala bama, although eight out of the nine justices of the highest court do plainly lean in it toward the old-time proceed ure and the rights and dignity of the states in all litigation under an amend ment that was passed primarily to pro. teet the negroes.

Gold EXpOrtS Imminent

The shipment of $500.000 in gold to Paris is not regarded as significant. Money has been and still is plentiful and cheap in New York, and dividend and interest day is approaching. The French are thrifty and they hold vast amounts of our securities, and the rate of sterling in Paris goes to show that some shipments of gold will be made.
 The total movement will probably be limited to $1O,OO0,000. Call money rates are going up in New York, and this has a tendency to render gold shipments unprofitable. A loss of $10,- 100000 in gold will still leave in this country all our own production. It will still leave on hand some of the i'm mense imports of year ago.

Scope of the Virginia Decision

While perhaps the provisions of inc Virginia constitution, giving the high est court of that state the right to change railroad rates. had some hear. ing, some meaning, in the recent de- cision of the supreme court. vet if is plain it's general trend Is toward A re. turn to the old-time method of exbaust. ing all possible remedy in the state courts before applying to the federal courts for relief. Before the adoption of the 14th amendment this was the only route to the supreme court. but there has since grown up practice of applying to the nearest federal court for an injunction, ignoring the state courts altogether.
 Chief Justice Fuller and Justice Har Ian say that the correct course is to carry a case against a state railroad commission to the states highest court, and then, if need be, by a writ of error to the United States supreme court This would have restored the time honored course of an appeal against state commission by a citi- zen of another state. But six justices said that application for relief should be carried to the highest court of the state and then the aggrieved party could resort to the federal circuit court, from which an appeal to the supreme court would be possible. The six justices reach this conclusion by a

JEWS LOST LEADER.
Had Herzl Not Died, Palestine Today
 Might Be Jewish Country.


 Palestine woul be Jewish eeHntf;' to- day. in my opinion, if rheodor Herzl had not died Herzl was the George Wash ington of the Jews--one of the most re- markable and romantic figures of this generation. He died four years ago of heart disease
 About the time that our civil war began Herzl was baby in a Jewish home in Vienna He was well educated, and be- ing by nature brilliant and magnetic, lie became a leader among the Niennese in tenectuals" Until he was B years cid he did not interest himself in the troubles or in the destiny of the Jews. He was content to write plays for the Vennese theatres and clever quips for the papers and magazines.
 Then came the tra gedy of the Dreyfus caseF Herzl went to Paris and saw with his own eyes how the Jews were hated and thrust to one side. To a higa-spirited Jew such as Herzl this was intolerabe
 Being writer, he naturally put his feelings into a book-such a book as the Jews had not seen since the aays of Isaiah. He wrote it in eight weeks, and it startled Europe like an explosion.
 "The Jews are a people--one people. They want country of their own, and they shall have one"
 This was the motif of Herzl's book. It was the war cry of a new crusade; and Herzl, against his will and greatly to his surprise, was swept off his feet by sudden rush of his fellow Jews and trans formed into a second Moses, who had arisen to lead his scattered people back to the promised land.
 As Moses went to Pharaoh. so Herzl went straight to the sovereigns of Eu- rope with the same old demand-"Let my people go" He convinced Emperor Will liam of Germany and became his inti- mate friend. He won over the King of Italy. He impressed the British gov ernment so favorably that Joseph Cham berain, the prime minister, offered him 8 new home for the Jews in Africa. He got the Russian government to approve his plans, and even the Sultan himself surrendered.
 It is said that there was one meeting between Herzl and the Sultan when the Sultan agreed to give Palestine charter of government. It was to have its own ruler army, flag, and congress, in return for yearly tribute. To bind this bargain the Sultan demanded $7,500,000 This amount was a bagatelle to the 12,- 900, GOO Jews of the world. It was about 60 cents apiece. It was less than Daniel Guggenheim's smelters produce in a cou- pie of weeks. But 1t was too much for Herzl. He would have given his hands. his feet, his head if the Sultan had asked him. but he was not Rothschild nor a Schiff nor a Guggenheim-and so the bar gain fell through.
 Today the followers of Herzl are like a sheep without 8 shephard. There are several hundred thousand of them in all countries-zionists, they call themselves. They are supporting a few small colonies of Jews in Palestine, and planting ''Herzl forests of olive trees. But their great leader is dead. There is no one now to go to the kings, or better still, to the Hebrew money kings, and to fnsh the work which Herzl so magniicently be- gan

PAUL REVERE's RIDE.

From the New Y Ork World.
 America has regarded with languid in terest Sig Fzerreros attacks upon the oration of Mark Antony and the tradi- tion of CleopaITa's beauty. These are after all foreign issues disturbed by an alien hand. When the home-raised legend is assalled under the higher criticism the case is different. The time to rise in popular revolt has arrived with Walter Benjamins most reprehensibe thrust at the story of Paul Revere.
 We have regarded the herald of Lexing- ton and Concord these many years through the eyes of a poet Mir Benja- min expects us. the strength of 6o- word note signed by John Hancock, to relegate the hero and his midnight ride to the shades Of poetic license. It is proposition not to be entertained. Mir Hancock was a gentleman and patriot but he was born too early to read Long fellow.
 By implication the note asserts that knew of the British marching early as o'clock in the evening of "the eighteenth of April In Seventy ve" Why then, should Joseph w arren have been asking Paul Revere to ride at midnight? Fuss and follyl Also fOlderol and fiddlesticks! It is a very fraI1ty of fault finding. Nine o'clock, forsooth- It may be critics time, but who ever heard of it as a poets hour or an hour of great deeds? MT. Benjamin is preposterous and intellectual, Listen:
 It was 12 by the village clock When he crossed the bridge into Med
 ford town
 The psycholoEic moment, the poets "wtching hour,'' as MT. Hancock would have agreed in a later note. There was, as MT. Longef1IOV~ believed and tho rest of us do not dISp ute
 voice in the darkness, knock at the
 door,
 And word that shall echo forevermore!
 Why confound the case with a question of what somebody knew at o'clock?
