RIDDLES.

He could play with logarithms.
Through all problems he could stride,
And he could have squared the circle
Had he ever simply tried.
But he never once could figure
CWas 1t envy turned him greenO
How it was another fellow
Could afford a buzz machine.
There was nothing in creation
That escaped her eagle eye.
She could look around corner
And not turn her head awry.
But twas quite past her perception
what deduction would you draw?)

IN AN UGLY FIGHT
Two Men Battle on Eighteenth
Street Sunday Afternoon
for Half an Hour
URGED ON BY SPECTATORS
Both Finally Arrested and Fined $40
and Costs Each in the Police
Court.

Jack Page and George Downs, en-
gagged in a fight yesterday afternoon
about 5 o'clock in the alley on Eigh-
ond avenues, and their arrest by the
police followed. This morning they
were each assessed a fine of $40 and
costs on the charge of assault. Just
what the fight started over was not
told in the trial before the police
magistrate this morning, but at any
rate it was a bloody affair. The two
men battled for period of half an
hour while a crowd of 80 men looked
on and urged them to continue. Feet
and hands and teenth and even a
brick were used in the fight and when
it was finally over the combatants
presented sorry spectacle. An ear
belonging to one of them was almost
gone and the hand of the other was
in a badly lacerated condition.

dom by working for it's establishment
The house mother has caught the
spirit OF the new freedom. The wife
of the workingman insists upon equal
rights in her home, and not only this,
but she desires to take a hand In the
ordering of the world into which she
must send her children for their life's
work. Even the idle rich woman has
grown weary of standing once re
moved from life's great activities and
she, too, wants the ballot. Perhaps
she will use 1t to protect the privileges
of her class, but let her come. We
are not afraid of her. We stand at
last for the ballot for all women be-
cause it is a principle of human free
dom. And we. the workers:
Shall we complain who feed the
world,
Who clothe the world, who house the
world
Shall we complain who are the world,
OF what the world may do?"

delays Of the law dare be used as an
argument to defend what took place
there It must be classed with the acts
Of the common criminal, with the or
ganized lawlessness of radical social
ism, with the organized lawlessness of
the liquor traffic, of the white slave
traffic, the gambling traffic, and every
organization that aims to profit by the
defeat of the law.
Must Fight LayyIessness.
1.-THE Christian people of this land
must utterly condemn all lawlessness,
no matter what form 1t takes nor how
high up the lawbreakers are. Nor dare
they hesitate to fight lawlessness even
though all combine to fight the church,
as many of these organizations are try
ing to do.
THE duty of the Christian citizen
begins at home. Honor thy father and
thy mother, that 1t may be well with
thee and thou mayest live long in the
land which the Lord thy God giveth
thee is the beginning of good citizen
ship. In spite of the sneers of popular
writer's, the old idea Of filial obedience
will alone train men and women to be
law-abiding citizens.
THE next duty of the citizen is to
obey every law of the city in which he
lives. God. have pity on our poor. mis-
governed, lawless cities! Whether the
laws are just or not, Christ by His pre-
cepts and His example teaches us to
be obedient to them to the very least.
And after this the Christian must look
for obedience of the law from others.
AS has been so well said by a recent
writer, All Christians should stand on
the platform of the genuine, bona f1de
enforcement of all our laws There is
no other attitude or aim possible for
any Christian man. AS to the official
entrusted with the enforcement of law,
our attitude should be none other than
this: The official-national, state or
municipal-whose sworn duty 1t is to
enforce law, and who persistenly does
not do his duty by any and every law,
is either Intellectually incapable, or,
having perjured himself, is willfully
sowing the seeds of riot and anarchy,
disregarding human rights, defying
divine law, and. il in consequence muir

criminis a murderer.
Creator of Sentiment.
THE Christian, obeying in every par
ticular every particular law, should
constantly be a creator of sentiment
that will compel the enforcement of
law, by legal processes, if necessary.
that the Sinking, shrinking official
does his whole duty
THE Christian citizen must not al
low the lawless elements to choose the
candidates and furnish the votes. He
must attend the political meetings, the
primary and regular election, and not
refuse nomination to Office
That there are faults in our law
making and in our legal procedure is
admitted by the best of our legislators
and lawyers, but violence will not cure
these faults. Only proper conception
Of the law and government as divine
ordinance, the feeling of responsibility
to God by both ruler and ruled, and
performance of our Christian duty as
citizens can make our cities and our
nation clean and law-abiding."

,
working woman is naturally the man
who bears the closest relation to the
bread problem, the master who hires
her and thus makes it possible for
her to get her bread (and incidentally
makes it possible for him to have his
pie and cake). This master quite
logically votes for the law which gives
him high profits and her low wages.
The less she gets the more he gets IL
follows that the less she gets the be-
ter he likes it, and he only has a voice
in the law which determines the dis
tribution. The problem of the working
woman and the working man is one.
He is seeking redress through politi-
cal organization. and she quite natural
~ is demanding the ballot that She.
too, may become an effective member
in the political group.
Husband Her Political Party.
ITO be sure. the man also makes the
law under which the woman in the
home lives; but her political represent
alive is her husband, the father of her
children, and he, at least theoretically,
has as much interest in her bread
H.
Their. he gets her living for her. Never
theless the woman in the home does
not control the product of her toll and,
indeed, under modern conditions,
there is but slight opportunity for her
to create a product. The bakery
makes the bread, the factory makes
the clothing and she can at best give
the final touch to an almost finished
product. She does not under the law
command a wage for her work and
over the lives of her children she has
legally but slight jurisdiction.
THE wrongs and injustices against
which the house mother has had but
slight protection have been little
needed by the world at large, owing
to the seclusion of her life. This Sc
clusion has cut her off from the i'm
pulse and opportunity for organization.
Somewhat naturally she has refrained
from overmuch complaint about the
man who was the hero of her dreams
in her impractical and romantic con-
ception of stern life, We do not, of
course, hold that all men are tyran-
nical and unjust, but as John Stuart
Mill has pointed out a system must be
judged by it's worst instances and not
by its best, and where the husband has
seen fit to play the tyrant, the wife
has had but little redress. We might
here discuss the henpecked man, but
we will pass him by with the remark
that all he takes is coming to him. He
is master of \ the situation if he
chooses to assert himself
Suffers From Exclusion.
Nov the processes of industry
have been socialized and men and
women touch elbows, work together
and discuss together their common
problems. Life tends more and more
to be lived in the open, the hidden
springs are examined and explained.
The air is bristling with queries.
why asks the woman, since work,
do l not have voice in the making
of laws, of labor regulations I suffer
from my exclusion from full social
rights. as my inferior wages show.
why, indeed echo the socialist plat
forms. We believe in your rights and
are fighting for them. Come into our
party and make yourselves fit for free
