Mrs. Clara Shortledge Foltz is the
first woman 10 the United States to be
appointed to the Office of assistant dis
tffct attorney. Mrs. FoItz has her
home In Los Angeles, Cal. where she
was made assistant district attorney
several months ago. She is the sister
Of Samuel L. ShortIedge, who Is the
law partner Of Delmas, the man .-ho
defended Harry Thaw. Up to the time
Of the earthquake her home was In
San francisco, but when the confagra-
ton which followed the quake destroy
ed 1t she moved to Los Angeles and
took up the practice of law there. She
rapidly made a name for herself and
proved so able In arguing cases that
the district attorney finally asked her
to join his star.
Mrs. FoItz has a commanding pres
ence and an eloquent and pleasant
voice. Her eyes fash as she speaks.
and she puts strength into every sen
tence, while her language evidences
! wide reading and original thinking
She Is not masculine in any sense and
is a stanch antisuffragist. When asked
to give her views recently on the
suEfragist question she declared that
there was little likelihood that the suf-
frage would be extended to women and
gave as her reason that the women of
the country generally were opposed to
entering field peculiarly masculine.
Mature itself has decided the suf-
t,frage question by making man strong
er than woman" she said. woman
was intended for the home and man
for the battle of life. Woman has her
own sphere. and 1t is bounded by the
boundaries of family life. Take away
from woman the power to look up to
man. to regard him as her protector
and guardian. and you take away her
dearest privilege"
Mrs. Foltz has the following to say
about the power OF the district attor-
ney's Office: 1.-The district attorney Is
not and should net be a prosecutor
pure and simple. because his position
and peculiar relation to the people
make him an officer of justice and not
mere avenger Of crime.
"It should be his duty and privilege
to see that the scales of justice do not
incline any more to severity than to
condonement. and his aim should be
| not to achieve record number Of con-
victions, but rather to bring about the
attainment OF absolute fairness In the
trials in which he takes part"

annual event in Perth Amboy. Look

of the Sunday school. Next to the
public school 1t is without a doubt
the greatest institution in American
life. M
Often too little attention is given
the Sunday school. Sometimes little
care is taken In the choice of teach
ers, but often there is little choice

Sunday school as something for chill
dren and do not give 1t thought.
The very fact that 1t is for children
makes It all the more important that
the grown people should give it their
best service. 1t is no slight respon-
sibility to be superintendent of a
Sunday school. To handle a school
successfully requires much thought
and careful study. Sunday schools
are an important feature in Ameri-
can life. They should receive the

THE RECORD OF CONGRESS.

After hard struggle and much
bitterness of feeling, congress ad-
tourned Saturday with a record of
much good work. 1t can be said
that but few congresses have come
so near accomplishing the promises
made in the majority party's plat
form as did the sixty-flrst. While
democrats, regulars and insurgents
will all claim the credit for this. we
believe that the excellent results are
due to the people. There has been
an awakening throughout the coun-
try that platforms should be some
thing more than merely words to
catch votes at election time and then
promptly forgotten. The people are
voting Independently these days.
They vote for a party because of the
principles set forth, and If that party
is successful they insist that the
promises be kept.
There is no doubt that the insur-
gents have had a great deal to do
with this awakening. The regulars,
or machine" republicans. were per-
fectly willing to let matters continue
as they have been. the leaders doing
about as they please and the Inter
ests" accomplishing about anything
they wanted. When Robert NJ. La
Toilette became governor of Wiscon-
sin and then United States senator
from that state, however. he began
to say things. He had arguments to
back up what he said. He fought
alone for some time, but his cause
was right He was for the people.
He was soon Joined by such men as
Beverldge, Cummins, Dolliver and
others. The magazines and the In
dependent press took 1t up and
politics have never been the same
since People are doing the think
ing for themselves and they send
men to the legislative halls to dc
their bidding, not to serve the cor
porations through the bosses.
There is no greater proof of this
than the work OF the congress which
has just adjourned. But this is only
a beginning, Let the people select

Some time ago l was making an Of

somewhat peculiar flavor of the cof-
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that 1t was Postum. l was so
pleased with it that, after the meal was
over, bought a package to carry
home with me, and had wife pre-
pare some for the next meal; the
whole family liked it so well that we
discontinued coffee and used Postum
entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as we'll

"PRIDE OF THE WORkROOM'
Lesson In Humble Life Of English
seamstress Overtaken by
Sudden Death.

Prosperity no more secures happi-
ness and influence than June insures
sunshine. Apart from that spiritual
state which makes for peace, the actu.
al contentment of men or women in
our world is chiefly founded upon their
relation to work The idler Is always
wretched The worker, as Ruskin and
Carlyle persistently taught, is truly
enviable when he has work, when he
feels It fairly within his powers, and
when he takes pride In his perform
ance Of 1t, and then only.
A story of victory in the face of ap'
parent failure may be read by the stu
dent of human history in an obscure
paragraph of an English newspaper,
setting forth an inquiry by coroner's
court into the death Of an old dress.
maker who had been run over on a
London street.
Mary Anne Bruce was seventy years
old, and lived with her sister in Pop
lar. She left home daily at eight
o'clock in the morning, and reached
there about nine at night. She had
small old-age pension, and earned
eight or nine shillings a week. Her
entire income during her many years
of sewing had probably been equal in
its buying power in an American city
to less than So week.
But this slender dole of shillings,
contrasting with the long hours of
work, was not the whole story of the
dressmaker's life. Witnesses further
testified that she had been employed
by one firm for 40 years, that she was
'the pride of the worlroom," and that
all the employees were much upset"
on hearing of her death. So the quaint
tribute runs.
Forty years of toll, and then sudden
death overtaking age and unguarded
weakness! 1t is a grim and gloomy
record in the newspaper history of an
ambitious, money-loving age. But she
was "the pride Of the workroom," and
her fellow workers loved her. That is
surely writ large In the Great Book OF
Heroic Deeds. For this woman, as for
another faithful soul, 1t may be said
that as she passed over, the trumpets
sounded a great blast upon the other
side. Thus conquerors come home!-

Mrs. Rheta Childe Dorr, writing in
one Of the magazines of the fighting
chance of the city child, thinks that
the foes of the child, poverty, disease
and premature death, should be fought
by an organized army rather than the
amateur skirmishers that give their
time to it. A lot Of money is spent
by each Of the societies working
against the evils and much by the
individual, but she thinks much more
