SCHOOL BOARD GANGS
A. p. A. CRY is RIDICULOUS

The Fifteenth Ward Republican club
Is placed In a rather embarrassing po-
sition with regard to the contest for
school Inspector in that ward. Henry
c. Weideman is the regular party
nominee, But DR.. w. c. Brown, the
anti-Martipdale candidate. who is run
ming on an independent ticket. is also
good Republican, and the club feels
that II cannot indorse Weideman with
out doing DR.. Brown an injustice. So
the club, Y is said, mas practically de-
cided not 10 indorse either.
Inspector G.. NJ. Burton brands as
ridiculous a story that has been cir
culated by the gang" to the effect tn
the We OF the American shield by
some of the "antis" on their cards and
in other ways indicates A. p. A. lean
ings on their part.
The circulation of such a story is
quite ON par with the usual methods
employed by the machine" said Mr..
Burton. Some of us were not even
aware that the A. p. A. made use OF
his design. which we adopted solely
because we wished to use something
that would show we are standing to-
gether for the best interests of the
school children and the citizens gen.
orally. The attempt on the part OF
the machine to appeal to religious
prejudices is unworthy of any sensi-
BILE man. The very fact that Mr..
Dworkowski. anti-machine candidate
in the Eleventh ward, has adopted the
design. Is proof enough, or ought TO
be. that II has no religious signiff
canoe. The flag design. too, is a gen
tie reminder of the fact that the
school board gang refused at first, to
accept the flags offered To the schools
by the Women's Relief Corps"

The Value of a Hermit.

Grotesque as many of the Hermit of Rotheneurs" carvings undoubtedly are. there is no denying that this self taught sculptor is possessed of a good dea' of real talent. At the top of the cliff overlooking the bay of ROtheneuf he has erected a cross bearing a Christ that denotes considerable skill; and before leaving his house to visit the cliffs he showed us some oak side boarls. tables. and chairs, so beauti- fully carved that I had a difficulty in believing the work had been executed merely Uith knife and a mallet I am inclined to think that these are the best of ali the Abbe Fourre's pro duciiOns.
 The carvings on the granite cliffs below his house are certainly less original than these admirable pieces of furniture But, though less artistic, they are much more curious from the point of view of the average traveller It may be said. indeed. without any eXaggeration. that they have made the reputation both of Rotheneuf and its Hermit. Before his arrival the vil- lase was unknown, almost without a visitor, and certainly without any other attraction than the rock coast and the open sea. Now it is a recog- nized place of pilgrimage.-Frederic Lees in the June Wide World.

IS THE FARMERS WIFE A SLAVE?
Scientific investigation Shows that in Most Cases Her Life Is
 Useless Tragedy.

What prosperity on the average farm means to the women of the country is described by William Ath- erton Du Puy in a startling article on "The Useless Tragedy of the Farmers Wife" which appears in The Delineator for June. Were the six millions of farmers wives in the United States placed in a caldron, fused into one homogeneous mass, enough of it chopped out to make one woman-the typical farm woman and were she depicted to the people as she is there would be the greatest tragedy of American civilization, says MT. Du Puy,
 There is lot to he found out about this woman, and it is vital to know of her It is she who bears the brunt of feeding the multitude for which the farmer receives so much praise. It is she who gives birth, before her. vitality is sapped. to the men who make history. It is she who is martyred even in the times of peace and plenty. It is a useless martyrdom, for it is easily preventable, and for this reason it is especially important that her condi- ton and the causes of it should be known.
 In the first place, you will be told that it is all bosh about the un- favorable conditions on the farm; that the farmers last year raised seven billions of dollars worth of produce and that they have given themselves the uplift. Conditions are

not at all like they used to be on the farm, you are told, for these men are now riding in automobiles and there is running water which has been put in the house.
 There is a lot of truth in some of your statements, for the farmers have made a great deal of money, and in some communities there are hundreds of conveniently arranged and ideal homes on the farms. But the con sensus of opinion of the greatest authorities in this country upon farm conditions is to the effect that prob ably ten per cent of the farmers are grasping their opportunities for better living in SD far as the home is con cerned. and that the condition of but ten per cent of the women is improved. Strange to say, with the vast majority there has come worse condition with the development of the farm and the advent of pros plrity The Country Life cOmmis- sion. appointed by the president, has travelled the country oyer and found this to be fact.
