We have the problem of the married
woman, deprived Of the bread winner
and who must struggle for support of
her family. We have the young woman
who voluntarily contributes to the fam

cumstances must enter the arena Of the
business world to wrest living.
But here Is a woman who would add
to her work certain dignity because
she is engaging in it from choice rather
than necessity.

WHAT HE WILL SAY.

Everyone nowadays is beginning to
speculate on what Theodore Roosevelt
IS going to do when he comes home.
It's a mighty interesting matter and
people should read Ray Stannard Bak-
er's article on the subject in the April
American Magazine. Mr. Baker quotes
the irrepressible Henry Allen, of Kan
sas. on the subject as follows:
Theodore Roosevelt viii return from
his big hunt. He viii land in San
Francisco, and say that he retains all
his old admiration for William II. Taft
but. At Los Angeles he viii say that
he would not undertake 10 criticise his
successor. a thing he could not graceful
~ do. He viii then add, I have always
had faith in the good intentions of Mr..
Taft; he wants 10 do the right thing
but Al Denver the Rough Rider VIII

careful about the company he keeps he

regret that the president has not been
more careful. At New York ne will tell

driven from the temple Aftec that it
will not make any difference what any

The habit of being true.

More than the splendid world,
With never a fall from duty,
Never banner furled.

Life and the dewy song;
The far-off hills to hear it,
The thoughts that are long. long

Pour me its beauteous wine
The dream of the fairy seeker,
The trust of the clinging vine

To know all things TO know;
To feel and to see and hear it,
The which and the why and so.

With a rainbow around its heaven
And the road thru a field of bloom

TIE LEssoh aE The WRECK.

The cause of the wreck is not locat-
ed. Perhaps the most plausible ex-
PLANTATION is that light tender, intend
ed to be hauled, not pushed, rose under
the pressure behind, buckled, jumped, or
whaterever way it's wheels We're lifted,
high enough to swing the Aange over
the rail. and leave the track
The technical cause of the wreck is
incidental to this particular case. The
reasons for the awful loss of human
life appear to be evident. The enor-
NOUS death rate long the passengers
of that Inflated Rock Island train seems
directly attributable TO the make UP of
the train, the doubled engines and the
fact that these engines were backing.
TIE rate of speed was normal. about
twenty five miles an hour but the train
was so arranged that serious accident
meant holocaust When the derail-
ment came the steel mass of two
heavy locomotives supplemented by a
solid pullman damned across the
cut and made an immovable barrier.
Between it and the heavy pull
mans in the rear the smoker, ladies

between upper and neither mnlstones.
There was no possibility OF escape for
these firnsier cars. They broke like
egg shells between the steel dam of
locomotives and the irresistible rush
OF the heavy steel constructed pull
mans. The wonder is, not that the
dead outnurnibered the wounded, but
that any lived.
Had the make up of the train been
carefully arranged against the contin-
gency of wreck on a strange road; had
the engines been faced as they should
have been; had this train been run in
sections, each with its engine the prob
abilities are that no wreck would have
occurred or in event Of wreck few
lives would have been lost. The con-
clusion is inevitable.

CARE OF MAYNARD GIRLS.

The instruction of the 500 girl in
mates of the state reformatory at
| Mitchellville is a subject which should
receive more than passing attention.
If the girls released from this in
stitution are not better morally than
when they entered it. the institution
is serving simply as a place of restraint
and is doing only q, fraction of the good
of which it is capable.
For good and sufficient reasons it
is advisable to corfne the girl who is
unrestrainedly running the streets,
where she can do mo harm to others.
But the highest duty of humanity de-
mands that while under restraint good
shall be done her
1T is matter of very short time
to reform a bad boy. 1t requires a
long process to reform a girl. There
must be built up in her a strong moral
structure which shall be an effective
barrier against temptation. This moral
structure can not be built in a day or
a month or a year.
Morality is flower demanding long
culture and close attention. When it
is ingrained in the soul of a girl. the
love of the Lord or the fear of the
Lord will restrain her more effectively
against the commission of wrong.
If she lacks q moral structure. there
is no use in trying to reform a way
ward girl. To restrain her. to deny her
rational pleasures while she is held in
restraint to refuse her permission to
sing, enjoy music-this will serve only
to harden her against reform, to make
it more difficult to understand what
spiritual love is.
For civil institutions to attempt the
reformation of girls is to enter upon
a task the failure of which is fore
shadcwed 1t is hard enough, in all
conscience. to reform a fallen girl in
any circumstances. and they are a
large number who give up as hopeless
any effort along this line. but when
civil institutions attempt the reforma-
ton they fail.
The state ought to consider the wis
dom of putting wayward girls in
charge of religious orders. The most
successful of all such orders, and one
dedicated especially to this work, is
the order of the Sisters of the Good
Shepard. They are caring for all the
dependent upon the charity of the
bountiful for their support.
If the state should give the girl, or
her parents, or her guardian when she
is under age, choice of a religious or
der's home or state institution, or
should vest the court with discretion
airy power in committing the girl and
should make small allowance for her
keep, there would be more chance to
accomplish her reformation.

The N. Y. Tribune and Cannon

OF all great and influential journals
who are of right. won and maintained,
entitled to speak for the republican
party the New York Tribune, perhaps.
may claim distinction and re-emin-
ence Editorially the Tribune says:
Washington has the reputation
among politicians of being the most I'M
favorable spot in the United States
from which to measure the currents Of
popular opinion. Long service there
habituates a public man to the arti-
fetal judgments of the capital and
breaks his touch with sentiment at
home. To this fact has been attributed
the apparent failure Of SO many repub-
lican members of the house OF repre-
sentatives to realize the extent OF the
popular feeling against 'Cannonism."
Of the 218 republicans in the lower
branch only Al voted on Saturday to
substitute a committee on rules chosen
by the house for a committee on rules
chosen by the speaker and dominated
by him One hundred and seventy
seven republicans approved by their
votes a continuance of the speakers
autocratic control. Yet 1t Is altogether
probable that could the Issue of Can
nonisTn" have been submitted to the
republicans of the constituencies rep
resented by these III "standpatters"
few would have failed to declare in
favor of a diminution Of the speakers
excessive powers.
New Works Case.
Take the city of New York. for ex-
ample 1t has seven republican repre-
sentatives in the house. We have
failed so far to discover any newspaper
in this city, republican, democratic or
independent which has defended Cam
nonisn." Apparently opinion here has
been practically unanimous in condem-
ming the one-man system in the house.
Yet of the city's seven republican rep
resentatives only two-Mr. Parsons and
Mr.. Foelker-@revealed q perception of
the drift Of things and got in line with
an overwhelming home sentiment. Sim
ilarly many western representatives
cast their fortunes with tCannonism"
last week in spite OF the fact that their
districts and states are hotbeds OF anti
Cannon sentiment.
The Greedy Chairmen.
SO far, however, az many OF the lead
ing sixty or seventy members I'm the
house organization are concerned, 1t is
possible to account for their loyalty to-
the old order on grounds OF self-inter-
