WoMEN's Low WAGES.

The number o. women who earn
their own living in the United States
has now reached the surprising total
Of nearly 100000. This means also
that many Of these women work not
only for themselves, but for the sup
port OF others. And these figures are
exclusive of the great unnunbered
portion of womankind which bears
the name of housewife and labors In
the home to keep the household to-
gether. In fact, the custom has be-
come so fixed that the withdrawal Of
woman from the ranks of business at
this day would leave the business
world we'll nigh stranded. The change
in the public attitude toward women
in business has taken place within
the last half century.
Woman's admission into the ranks
of teachers dates back several certu.
ries, and at the present time she has
so far outstripped men in the success.
full handling Of young scholars that
the field is left almos: entirely to her.
It is a strange fact, however, that,
for all woman is more capable than
man in teaching the young, she is paid
on an average much less than the
comparatively few men who have en-
tered their chosen field. At the same
time women teachers are generally
better trained for this work. This is
the situation as noted by Professor
Thorndike Of Cleveland University
who has recently issued q book on tbs
subject.--New York Call.

LABOR Is HELPLESS WITHOUT
ORGANIZATION. z< -

I cannot forget that the laboring
class. so-called, must, like any other.
stand up for It's own rights, or be
content to see them trampled under
foot; and that the strength given it
by organization, superinduced upon
numbers, is It's only effectual defense
against the else unchecked tyranny
Of capital, eager for profit and reck-
less of others rights. The power de-
veloped by combination may be
abused, like any other power; but
labor is helpless and prey without
it.---Horace Greeley. III .5s .ez,S

POWER or WEALTH,

The observations on the United
States OF America by Guglielmo Fer.
zero, the italian historian, which are
appearing in the Paris Figaro are at.
tracing much attention. signor Fer
zero finds that the immense power
welded by the rich in America is due
to their untrammeled activity, partic-
ularly as compared with conditions in
Europe, where the state retains more
or less control Of all enterprise. This
freedom and private initiative in
America he attributes to the fact that
fear Of the state was the underlying
principle Of the American constitution.
"The founders Of the Republic"
signor Ferrero says, were .imbued
with the French philosophy of the
eighteenth century, and they could
not foresee> the Formidable forces
which would emerge from the, devel.
opment Of the gigantic resources Of

RESPONSIBILITY.

In one of the more recent leaflets
of the New York Association for I'm
proving the Condition of the Poor, of
which R. Fulton Cutting Is president,
an important piece of testimony ap-
Eears relative to the responsibility for
poverty. Under photograph of a re-
markedly bright family of little child
ren-a family in which race suicide
has been unknown-appears this ques-
ton:
Shall promising children like these
grow up into useful men and women
or into physical and moral failures
This depends often on our being able
to strengthen the good mothers hands
and to hold the family. together by
timely aid when overtaken by sick
ness, death or lack of work.
Then comes the testimony from this
really competent source: Careful
investigation shows that in 80 per
cent of these families the distress is
not their own fault and in the rest,
it surely is not the fault of the sui.
ferlng children."> And then:
We are coming to see that the lives
which fail are very largely the result
Of imperfect, neglected, social condi.
tions. TO this extent they are our
failures. Many of them can be turn,
ed. into successes by timely aid, ad.
vice and instruction.
But can ''our failures" be remedied
by our charitable donations?
Why should this be a world in which
the worker is an object of charity and
I the idler (if things go his way) the
! gtver Of charity? The answer is tina,
it is not such a world. It is a world
In which by natural law the results

believed the water will have partly covered the North bank of the river No caving of any conseuuence has been reported here and although the current of the river, which strike S the South bank just below the mouth Of Harding's drain in the Eastern part of the city, is strong there. little fear is entertained of further damage to property in that section of the city.
 The government made temporary repairs along the river front imme- diately after the river troubles" last fall and permanent work will begin as soon as the river recedes. The dynamitfng of Boyd's point several months ago sent the current away from the bank adjoining the business section of the city and as result the river is perfectly calm directly North of the bank between Alabama and Beech streets. The formation of a sandbar there offers sufficient pro lection to the property affected last year by the rushing waters.
