is A WIFE A PARASITE

Should domestic, home-making
women be regarded as self sup
porting and helpful to their bus
bands, or are they supported by
the men and burden upon themI
Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman,
the prominent club woman, raises
this question by her declaration
that women does the work that
doesn't pay. It is not surprising
that large audience of women
in Carnegie lyceum, New York,
voted MIS-. Gilman down by a
rousing majority
Ii housekeeping does not pay
then the domestic woman earns
nothing. If home making does
not pay, then the wife IS not
self supporting. II the raising OF
children counts for nothing, then
the wife and mother is a parasite.
Think a minute. If the home

PRAISES NORTH WISCONSIN
Secretary Of immigration Gives This
Section a Send-off

Secretary Campbell Of the state
immigration board gives northern
Wisconsin send-o off in his report
by pointing out that the develop
ment of the northern part of the
state will add much to the wealth
and taxable valuation Of the
state.
"There probably are 10000
900 acres at unoccupied agricult
aral land in the northern half of
the stateo says Mr. Campbell.
can increase in value of $50 an
acre would add S3OD. 100000 to
the state s valuation.
A tax of one-haIf Of one per
cent on this increased valuation
would amount to 81. 800. 900 and
the above is but fraction Of the
increased wealth that would come
from the development Of the
northern counties.
The water power which aboundo
on every northern river will, if
electric transmission to other
states is avoided, result in build
ing cities and towns in our own
state, and furnishing them with
extensive manufactures and other
resources of wealth. In fact, it is
,,,rrobable that the value of Our
other water powers when fully
developed, will prove an incalcul-
able benefit to the state and be
rapidly advanced by its early de
velopment.

LIABLE TO BECOME iRKsoME,
Some Drawbacks in Having Disease
as an Occupation.

A New York man was brought be-
fore magistrate the other day for
speeding. The magistrate asked his
occupation. rheumatism, replied
the prisoner It was so recorded.
When you think of it, he was prob
ably not far wrong. If anything will
keep man occupied it is pet
trouble like rheumatism or i23{@es
ton. Give it q chance q will
make other mundane matt, reia-
lively unimDortant It will pave the
most exacting of occupations.
It has one advantage over the ordi-
nary ones; hard times can't Interfere
with it. Every factory in the world
may close, but the man who makes his
disease his occupation need not work.
His occupation will not be touched
It will always be open, beyond all
chance and change of the unsteady
planets" But it has the Disadvantage
that it tends to grow more and more
enerous. A man begins, say, with
little light and easy employment at
indigestion. His hours at first are
reasonable Soon he discovers that
ne must pay more attention to it if
he would do the thing right. He gives
it several hours a day additional. He
begins to think about it at odd times.
Before he knows it he is occupied
with it for practically all his waking
hours.

GRAFTON we should revert to saw
agery. All the mighty works of
man, that he boasts so much
about and that "pay' SO we'll,
would decay.
We hear a lot about self-made
men. But the self-made man
who really amounts to much is
generally ready to admit that be
is not self made but mother made.
1t would be hard to convince him
that the mother who gave him
health, character and high vision,
was parasite. The busy hus-
band who finds his home haven
of rest and spring of inspiration
cannot look upon his wife, who
makes that home, as unworthy of
her keep. When Mrs. Gilman
says that wives are not self-sup
porting and in pursuance of her
thesis compares a housewife to a
horse, she blunts the point of her
argument. For a horse not only
earns its keep but brings a price
Perhaps if man had to pay
purchase price for his wife,
instead of acquiring with her, as
is SO often the case, a dowry that
sets him up in business, he would
appreciate her mole. = Milwaukee

audience and 'thereupon play the mu-
sic of every instrument now In use"
II was also promised that he would
take an ordinary wine bottle, place II
on a table In the middle OF the stage,

the signal for riot. Benches were
torn up and boxes pulled down, while
the timid rushed for the doors, with
great loss of wigs, hats, swords and

forced by roughs from outside, COM

was burned In huge bonfire. Nor
