WOMAN'S PACE j.
HOW A WOMAN SHOWED
HER BAD(?} MANNERS.


Here is little story of .'red revo-
luton from the London Labor
Leader:
In dealing with the records of the
last District Councils elections. the
Yellow Press INDUCED itself. in a
headlined paragraph to the effect that
a SOCIALIST WOMAN had defeated
a CLERGYMANSat the polls! What
clearer proof could be. desired of the
loosening of ouEmoral and religious
life as nation than that such CON
test should have been waged at all?
That it should have been victorious
was a sign of red revolution.
The first meeting of the new Board
Of Guardians bore out this interfre-
tation. Various "cases' of aged per-
sons in need Of outdoor relief We're
down for consideration. and each
case was called in turn literally to
stand before the Guardians, while his
,r her. dement's were under discus
sion
No one had ever questioned this
form of procedure; 1t is sadly safe
to assume that had the clergyman
been returned it would have been
left unqpestioned still. But the So
cialist woman became retsive at the
appearance of the first gray head.
'Why cSpnot the old people be al
lowed to sitdown?" She demanded.

"SAe shall have my chair, she
cried to the douce gentlemen sitting
comfortably all about her. Il am far
better able to stand than she!"
For a. minute it looked as. if a
small bombshell had exploded in the
midst of the Council Chamber. In
deed, what is bit of Socialist prin-
ciples put into practice but moral dy-
aamite to the self-indulgent hypoc-
risy of our modern scribks and Phari-
sees? Needless to say The poor old

She can clean her own rooms. BUT
if the neighbors are allowed to live
in filth, she cannot keep her rooms
from being filled with bad affe and

She can cook her food well, BUT
If dealers are permitted to sell poor
food, unclean milk or stale eggs, she
cannot make the food wholesome for

She can care for her own plumbing.

FIRST, the officials of that gov

In fact, MEN are responsible fol

sible for the results. must we not, in
simple justice, let them have some
thing to say as to what these condi-

way of doing this. Give them the
