Our Women Lsborsrs.

The industries which employ most
women are usually those affordinx
cheap and unskil1ed varieties of work.
In these Instances the process whereby
women are displacing men advances
rapidly toward completion. This has
been expressed concretely by the
United States census. which showed,
at It's last toxins in 1900. that tho
number of women workers In the
United etates had Increased 81 psr
cent. in the preceding decade. and that

been breadwinner. In 1890 one wo-

A Political Puzzle.

n FOuucNI fuxLtS.
We have q strong impression that
the Anti-Saloon League leaders do not
know any better than anybody else
what they meant or mean to intend
TO do, II they have any real Intentions.
Our surmtse Is that these gentlemen
wanted to say something that would
sound dashing. bold, stirring, resound-
ing and impressive and used words
without clear purpose. They are quiet
now and our advice Is to let them
be quiet. The leaders nave no right
to commit the league &c anything. In
fact. the league is largely an imagi-
nary body and certainly very loose
one. Its officers can give advice, ike
any other citizens out nobody is
bound to accept or follow their ad-
vice. We see no use In trying to
force a row or split or to scare tin1d
editors to death sixteen months be-
fore any general issue possibly can
come The league leaders have been
challenged to say what they meant
and have failed to answer. Let them
alone. Conditions in April, 1911. may
be widely different from those of
April, 1910. Nothing Ia gained by
borrowing trouble. II the democratic
party will go along about its business
Just as If there vas no Anti-Saloon
League, we can settle the liquor bust
ness In the primaries OF next year.
Until then, let us talk and think OF
the matters actually present before
us. with which we can deal and from
which we can get results.--Roanoke

LUBB0CK'S TRADE INCREASES
From The East we Have Crosby
ton and Emma wto do Their
Freighting From Our City

The first of last week we had
the pleasure of visiting the beau
tiful little city of Crosbyton, the
Plains Baby" We found this
little city which lies in four and a
half miles Of the noted Silver
Falls, in the White river, a town
of about four hundred well salts
fed and prosperous citizens. and
every one a true blue booster for
his or her town. We find here
some as substantial business
houses. and other improvements
as we have ever seen in a town
that size. They have a fine con-
crete school building near COM
pleti0n, a nice concrete bank and
a beautiful concrete church, TO
say nothing Of the many other
nice buildings.
While in this city we were in
formed by reliable information
that there was due 10 arrive in
Crosbyton on that day, twenty
freight wagons from Lubbock,
and that they expected to freight
from this place at least ten car
loads Of stuff per month.
Lubbock has the goods that the
people need and they are giving
them the very best of prices. and
we are getting the trade. Dc
