sONt NDt'ND SENSE.

Madame Ella Wheeler Wilcox has
something to say about almost
every question before the public. and
generally what she says is worth
| while. She has recently had her say.
| In ster own terse. meaty. sensible
way, about the matter of women do
| Ing. mems work.
I There is much to be said on both
sides Of the question. and II is i'm
possible to lay down any hard and
| fast rule which will apply to every
case that may arise, but the policy
OF women entering into all the pur-
suits of men and doing mems work
is not wholly wise or free from its
evils. says the Houston Chronicle.
| v. Mrs Wilcox quotes Mr. Martin,
! who is the superintendent of some
| large cotton mills in New England
who says that giving woman mans
work has done her the greatest harm
and injured our home land. There
are 100 many good women at work
in the places of men. What we need
| is more men at work where these
women work, and who would be
capable of supporting homes and
take the good women and make
happy wives of them Mr.. Martin ar
CUES very sensibly along these lines.
hot tot Il
en- when she conceives the idea that
she ought to go out to be the bread
winner, because her proper field and
sphere of duty is the home.
Mrs. Wilcox gives this theory and
contention her hearty Endorsement,
saying the view is the right view
and the view which must be held by
all who study the nature of man and
woman, and who realize why the sex
es were created Woman was never
meant to go outside the home for
employment.
Here we have the idea of sensi-
! Bile man and a very smart woman,
and what they say is worth consid-
ering.
/ 1t may be old-fashioned and out
sens the influence of woman in the
home and takes her from that sphere
! to struggle in the arena of toll
where she is brought into contact
with the ruder and roughening ele-
ments of life, is full of harm.
The very basis of civilization and
government is the home, and the
! aforementioned genius of the home
/ is woman; and the men should sup
port wives and the wives should
keep and make the home happy f-
Unfortunately, the employment
of women. as Mrs. Wilcox says, is
the result of the greed and selfish
ness of men. Women work for less
wages and do the same work men
used to do; employers of labor are
can. hence they put the men out and
give the women their places, and
thus make more money; but society
is the sufferer If the men were paid
wages which would enable them to
keep homes and support wives, it
would be far better and far more in
harmony with the divine intention
and purpose.
There can not be bred a race Of
stalwart and physically and intellec-
tually robust men if the mothers of
| America are to come out of sweat
shops, from behind counters and
from looms and spinning frames.
From the present condition we will
reap a harvest of intellectual, ply
steal and moral deficiencies.

Gen. JACK GROSS.
Former United States Marshal

Gen. A. Jack Gross, one of the most
widely known men in Kentucky, died
of Bright's disease at 3 O'Clock We'd

Over a year, he had been in i'll
