perchance, to keep late hours making

man should have more sense, and if

But what about the woman of the
workshop or the office? What lib

dire necessity, as she generally is,
to earn her own living, she is gen

on the average, a nine-hour day,

ton of ''Labor's Mistake" makes
some remarks touching the ten-hour-
a-day labor law for women, with
which | beg to take issue. After
first stating that ''The public good is
supreme to any law, and where the
so-called contractual right is sub
versive of the public veal it must, in
time, be abolished "a statement the
first part of which is almost axiomat-
ic in it's truth and incontrovertible
verity-he yet goes on to say:
and sympathy for shop girls and fac
tory women and the slaves in the
sweatshop, we must recognize the
hard facts of life and realize that not
these alone are the sufferers. We have
the vast army of overWorked women
in the home and on the farm, do
nestle slaves who know neither a
ten-hour day nor sixteen-hour day,
but who are called upon at all hours
Of the twenty-four for devoted serv-
ice to their families. There is no
organization or possibility of the for
nation of society of overworked
wives, or oppressed domestic serv-
ants etc.
It is fact, I believe, that will be
recognized by even the most un-
initiated of men concerning women's
personal trials and experiences in the
business world, as compared with
those of the home, that, in the first
place, woman's relation to her
"boss" in business is quite different
from that toward her father or her
husband in the home, as also a fact
that the concern felt by her en-
ployer for her welfare can never
equal that of the normal husband or
father. The instinct of the latter
would be to protect from excessive
labor. Being a woman and having
both worked at home and been en-
ployed for number of years down
town" in the business section of
some of our large cities, claim the
right to speak with some authority
concerning the difference between
the conditions and circumstances of
the woman having the privilege of
her own home and the woman whom
hard necessity has forced into the
workshop or the business office.
Having reinforced my experience
with abundant observation, I claim
to be doubly equipped Let us first
examine into the circumstances of
the woman of the home. She is
practically her own boss when it
comes to just how much she shall do
or what, or just when she shall rest
Happy is her lot, for she has no au-
tocratic boss near by to superintend
and to oversee, to see that she puts
in her full quota of nine or ten hours
without stopping for even five or
ten minutes rest. In fact, it is at
her discretion, in case of headache or
indisposition, to lie down or to rest
during the day. No fear of Gloss of
job" ever crosses her mind, even
though tho cipxpocc cbo1Jd l1o ,oro

equitably distributed, we are liable
to have such a condition of affairs
as confronts England today, with it's
vast army Of unemployed. Even
now our poorhouses in the cities are
overcrowded, some of them being in
shameful need of additions or en-
largement. Are they not filed with
wornout wrecks of humanity
wretches who could not get steady
work at living pay? And, methinks,
in the not far-distant future, their
ranks shall be replenished from
among the business wrecks strewn
broadcast over this land-women
who gave up their health in doing
overtime work!
MAUD RICHARDS.
Answer.
Mr.. Dolan reports that he is in
terested, but still unconyinced that
the home-staying woman is the in
dependent creature of luxury de-
picted. The husband and father is
often very unobservant of the wife's
WEAKNESS and of the millions of
steps that must be taken to keep
the home comfortable And, even
when he regrets conditions, it is al
most impossible to overcome them.
The poor can't afford servants and
the rich can't keep them. The best
children require care and attention;
the simplest food must still be pre-
pared at considerable labor, as often
per day as several hungry urchins
require; and the smallest, plainest
home won't keep itself. The wife
can't quit her job, desert her loved
ones and fail to respond to their
varying needs. The business wo-
man suffers grave injustice very
often, but has the better time, after
all. Only a great love makes the do
nestle woman submit to the druid
gerry Of her existence, year after
year, with no hope Of relief until the
children are grown. Take divine,
self-abnegating mother love out of
a Woman's heart, and she'd no more
expend her days in cooking, sewing,
darning, patching, dish-washing,
preserving, making order out of
chaos dozen times day, keeping
an eye on mischievous boys and
girls, entertaining casual visitors,
continuing polite and urbane to off,
cious "in-laws>" nursing the family
and neighbo,hood sick, etc., etc.,
than would paterfamilias. The ''va-
riety'' is the most abominable feature
of it, which causes a woman to ex-
pend all her energies without seem
ing to accomplish anything in any
direction-and without getting even
the weekly pay-envelope and the
privilege of using it's contents as she
pleases.
That any class is driven under the
lash of greed is outrageous, and Mr.
Dolan is earnestly in favor of good
laws, well enforced, against every
form of such oppression. But the
working woman will get her right to

wit: Change of occupation is rest"
And therein lies the housekeeper's
advantage over her business sister,
for the work of the housekeeper does
not consist in doing one and the
same thing all the time Gas is the
case in business), but is varied. 1t
is well-known fact that continuous
repetition of the same thing, without
break or rest, is great strain on
the nervous system. And though the
hours of the housewife may be
long, she frequently interrupts them,
not only with periods of rest, but
with visits to neighbors and friends
at an hour when the working girl is
too busy to spend five minutes in
conversation with her best friend.
Does the business woman ever get
the chance for the recreation of
visit during the day?
Said Nelson Sizer, the noted phre-
nologist and Psychologist: Among
the various essentials to health sleep
is the very first. A man can livelonger
without eating that he can without
sleeping etc. There is no doubt but
that many of our workers are not al
lowed time for sufficient sleep, not
to speak of time for rest and recrea-
ton. After working all day and into
the night until nine or ten %. M,
returning to work at the usual time
next day, how can they? No won
der the worker gradually weakens as
the days goes by. No wonder the
vitality of our women is oftentimes
reduced to it's lowest ebb. Farmers.
as class, are said to be the longest
lived of our citizens. And why?
Because, in addition to getting
plenty of fresh air and sunshine
(Which the Office man or woman
doesn't get) he also takes plenty of
time for sleep. No wonder he be-
comes vigorous, while they, in time.
become onorVated.
Another good reason for the expe-
diency Of the time-limit law is the
opportunity thereby afforded for Civ
Ing work to the unemployed who
need it and who are seeking it, often
times vainly, because of the fact that
many of the employed are wearing
their lives away over the night lamp,
and gradually sinking sinking-in-
to premature graves! Is this what
you call constitutional liberty ~
for the employed? And has the un-
employed man Or woman no right to
be given an opportunity to earn an
honest living? And what is the
probable ultimate destiny of this I'M
fortunate part of humanity who can
not get work? They must either be
burden on relatives, many of
whom are but poorly paid, tramp
over the country and beg, steal for a
living, or else go to the poorhouse.
or the numerous tramps who infest
our land, did all of them go to that
from choice? And what about the
burglars who parade our streets of
nights? Are they all employed men?

Bro. Brodie was very quiet man,
but one who did his duty as he saw it.
AS a citizen one of the best, as a
member Of the Grange faithful and
true, as a Christian conscientious,
upright and devoted to his church.
We deeply feel our loss of such a

was to love him.
May we all so live as to meet him

Changers fell into innocuous deseu-
tude, the Judge returned to the Re-
publican fold, hesitating for some
time, however, between that and the
Democratic party. He remained a
Republican until in the last national
campaign, when Hearst organized
the Independence party, he joined
that party and was made national
committeeman from Kentucky. He
attended a meeting of the COM
mittee in indianapolis, but soon with
drew from that party, and again be-
came Republican, in time to sup
port Taft for the Presidency.
During all these changes he retain
ed his belief in many Of the funda.
mental doctrines of the Democratic
party, and although he supported
the Republican ticket in 1907, he
was an open advocate of Bryan's
views in reference to securing guar
anty of bank deposits.
He was fond Of droll stories and
never tired of telling them, and
while generally diligent in the dis
charge of official duty, his sense +
humor never left him. AS iilustra-

that his first sign as lawyer read

Morgantown, KY, Feb. 2S.-Judge
Bayless Leander Durant Guffy, aged
n years, former Chief Justice of the
Kentucky court of appeals, died at
his home here Sunday after two
months illness.
Judge Guffy was we'll known
throughout the state of Kentucky
for many years. He had been coun-

census taker, commissioner to the
st. Louis exposition, and held other
political positions.
At different times he affiliated
with the various political parties,
but mostly with the Republican.
Judge Guffy's elevation to the ap-
pellate bench was as much a surprise
to him as it was to the Democrats
of the second appellate district, il
November, 1894. He served as CHIEF
justice Of the court bat one year
dividing the tive years with Senator
Thos. H. Paynter, then upon the
bench. He retired frem the court
in 1902. in which year he was defeat

The dead jurist was an unusual
character. He delighted to talk of
his political career, he having the
unique distinction Of having affiliated
with more political parties than any
other man in Kentucky, if not in the
United States. He began life as 6
Democrat, but became a Republican
during the war. Afterwards he be,
