DOING SIMPLE THINGS WELL.


cts hard work." said the boss,
"to get anybody to do even the SIM
pliest things really we'll and to keep
on doing them so; and l do love to
meet people who do the work they
have to do, no matter what it may be,
thoroughly, and who have, besides,
the sense and nerve to keep at it that
way steadily.
cit is a positive delight to me to
find boy that makes good job of
sweeping out the store, who is not
satisfied with giving it lick and a
promise-sweeping out the thick of it
from the middle of the foor-but who
digs into the corners and sweeps clean
along the edges and makes a good,
thorough, workmanlike job of it all
through.
"Now, that sort of job of sweeping
is positive help to the business; it
makes the store attractive. 1t actu-
ally gets into the atmosphere of the
place and helps to draw people who
would as surely be repelled, if not
driven away, by store slackly kept.
And now suppose this boy keeps right
onso, ,unfinchingly; suppose he shows
that he's really got the stuff in him
why, he gets the first chance there is
for step up, for the demand for men
who can do things is greater than the
supply, and then if he will only keep
on doing things the way he began he's
got his future in bis own hands.
"What is true of the boy sweeping
the store is equally true of every other
boy, in whatever work he may be do
ing, absolutely ; for the whole secret
of success lies in doing whatever your
hands find to do we'll and faithfully.
"This is an old, old, oft.told story,
know, but there's fresh crop of
boys coming into the field daily, to
whom, ever, it must be new and it
but one of each days crop would take
the old story to heart, the world in
general would be better off and
the boy himself would profit by it
greatly"
JOHNNY had been a very bad boy

"Well, Johnny wouldn't you rather

Johnny thought minute and then
said:
"No, father, I'd rather go with

A BAPTIST and Methodist minis
ter were dining at the same house.
AS they took their seats there was an
embarrassed pause, the hostess not
knowing how to ask one minister
to say grace without offending the
other. The small son quickly grasped
the situation and half rising from his
chair, moved his finger rapidly around
the table, reciting ''Ene, meme, miny
mo; catch a bigger by the toe"
He ended by pointing at the Baptist
minister, saying, "You're it."

A Valuable Service

The rescue of more than
score of persons by government
life savers during the recent
storm on the great lakes, calls
attention to a branch Of the pub
lie service Of which little is heard
except when it's members per-
form daring acts to save imper-
He'd people from death. The
United States life saving service
costs rather more than $2,OOO,
600 annually. Here is it's record
for last year: Within the field
of its operations there were 1894
vessels. valued, with their car
goes, at S13, $50, 225, involved in
disaster. The value of property
saved was S11 ,666, 435, as against
81 1868, 100 lost. OF the SIP per-
sons on board these vessels only
% were lost, the total number of
vessels totally lost being 56.
This is liberal return IN lives
rescued and property saved, for
an outlay of about S2,000,OOO.

Equality of Men and Women
BY ELLA WHEELER WiLco

The Chicago Municipal Suf-
frage Club offered d prize of S100
for the best poem written on the
topic Of Suffrage" to be sung
as a hymn to the air of John
Browns Body"
The prize was awarded; and
then the anonymous poet proved
to be--A MAN!
Mr.. Louis Block, principal of
a Chicago school, carried off the
honors of this literary contest.
Intellectually, I believe in suf-
frage; believe it must be the
next great step in the circle
which is now leading woman
away from her natural sphere,
but which will, when pursued
far enough, lead her back to it.
Imagine life (what it is) u com
plete circle.
Imagine woman starting from
the top Of this circle and going
down the curve to it's farthest
opposite side, and then continu-
ing to walk on until she comes
up again at the top. And think
how much more she knows than
she dId when she started; think
Of all she has seen, and learned,
and experienced on the way.
Well, we are just taking the
upward curve; and while the
ballot will seem 50 many aestep
farther from the "home place."
it will really be step upward.
When woman finally attains
the home place again she will
have become the perfectly devel-
oped character; sweet yet strong;
simple yet wise, with feminine
and wholly disillusioned |
with any of her present day
ideas of competing with man."
There will be 20 talk Of "equal-
ity" either, for she will know
herself wholly unlike man, and |
therefore it will seem as ridicu-
Ious to talk about equality as to
compare the relative merits of
fine china and cleaning jewels.
Each has its own value and
each it's own use.
The Arizona sentinel. [volume] (Arizona City [Yuma], Yuma County, A.T. [Ariz.]) 1872-1911, 1909-05-20

Woman has never been mans
equal in an intellectual way.
While she may excel him in some
mental quality, she is his inferi-
or, considered as mental whole.
When we look for originality
and creative and constructive
powers, for logic and reason, and
the qualities which make wise
leaders, we must look to men.
And this is right and becom-
ing and according to the eternal
fitness of things.
Even when we ask for a good
poem setting forth our own
rights to be considered the equal
of man, we must find that man
has alone been able to supply
the need.
He can tell us what we want
and why we want it and Why we
should have it, better than we
can tell these things. Yet, be-
cause woman is NOT mans in
tellectual equal is no reason at
all why she should not vote; it
is all the more reason why she
SHOULD at this present juno.
ture of masculine graft aud dis
honesty in matters political.
A woman does not excel as q
carpenter or mason, but she is
needed when it comes to bring
ing order out of the disorder
which these men have made in %
room. 1t is through the insist
ent demand Of woman that she
be regarded as q human
being and not on the level of ID
horse or dog that many of the
old unjust laws regarding worn
ans right to own or dispose Of
her own earnings have given
way to better and more just
statutes, and there is yet more
for her to do in cleaning up the
litter of the world.
All hail to woman Suffrage,
but excuse us if we smile when
we read that the poet laureate Of
the Chicago Woman's Suffrage
League is a man.

zen, but if an editor does not
please them, it's at his pocket
book they aim. Thus it is that
newspapers learn who their
friends are. The man who reads
a newspaper and admires it all
the year round, yet gives his
business support to some other
concern whose principle or the
action Of whose editor he deteStS,
is not a friend to the former
newspaper. Admiration alone
will not run a newspaper. There
are too many men who expect an
editor to slave in defense of their
pet notions and hobbies, advo-
cate their views against the
strongest opposition, and coolly
withhold their business support,
by which alone a country news
paper can live.
Talk about a paper having a
public duty to perform, and an
editor having to work for his
principles, is cheap when others
stand back and extend a luke
warm neutrality. The result is,
the editor may starve while la
boring for bis principles and the
cause of right and justice which
they admire but do not support.

Good Roads Are Needed.

That good roads are blessing
to the people in town and out of
town admits Of no argument.
The farmer needs them for the
marketing Of his produce and the
miner needs them fer the mar
keting Of his ores. In this coun-
try, Notwithstanding there is bat
little rain and no frost to destroy
them, they are atnumerous times
shOckingly bad. Pima county is
not alone the burden bearer of
bad roads. This is evidenced by
the determined efforts on behalf
of the representatives of the va
rious counties to get bill thro'
the last Legislature looking to
their betterment This was done
by the appointment of a terrific
rial engineer and the authorize
ton of the several boards of
supervisors to oemploy only road
masters of certain clearly defined
qualifications. Under the new
law Pima county appears to be
up and doing. Tho roads were
shockingly bad as to the grade
and surface conditions, but the
work now being done, so far as
it has come to the knowledge
and observation of the writer, is
being done well and the only one
thing now to shout about is to
keep the ball rolling. The citi-
zens of Pima county pay enough |
taxes to have good roads from
one end of her broad domain to
the other. If this is correct,
then every bit Of road in the
should be made service
able. Good roads roads cost
money, but they are money
breeders, and the business men
of this town should lend their
aid to secure them. The better
the highway the more sure Of
trade. To this end the chamber
Of commerce should take a hand.
They should determine the roads
over which there is the most
travel and, if needs be, the value
Of that travel to the city. The
logical result of good roads will
be to increase trade here; to in
crease the prestige Of Tucson as
