DR.. Salter. addressing the Edin-

Woman, whether she likes it or
not, is fated to work.
Olive Schreiner says SO. after
studying her sex and her subject
for half her lifetime-and she is old
enough now TO have daughter who
is woman grown.
If the members Of her half of
humanity don't work, or won't work
or can't work, then our very civiliza-
ton is doomed to shameful failure.
Woman must work for her own sal
walton; and man must let her work,
unless he is willing to have her ruin
him.
Her Book "A Sad Incident
That is the moral of her new book
Woman and Labor" about which
clings the terrible romance Of war;
for it is, in itself, as sad an incident
in a writer's life as any that have
been told of famous authors in the
past.
For any writer, woman or man,
the books are, in very truth, child
rem of the brain, loved and cherish
ed as tenderly, as real children car
be. When Olive Schreiner was first
moved to write, she began to pre-
pare chapters on the position of alel
sex in this fearfully difficult ano
complex world. She did it like 6
scientist. with thorough studies Of
the relations of sex in the very low
est orders of animate life. Amonu
mental work, in two great volumes,
had been finished in the manuscript
when the Boer war broke up.
Her Burned
The author was forced to leave
her charming home in the Transvaal
In her absence her home was looted
her desk was broken open and the
manuscript of the book. ON which
she had spent the better part of 'hel
life, was chucked in the middle Of
the floor and set on fire. Only SEINE
fragments~of that immense and low
ing labor remained. She had no
the heart'to attack the task again
She took the material that was left

to the public for what it was.
The w ork of a yandal
The yandal who touched the match
ito those pages made war not merely
ON one weak, absent woman, but
upon every one of her sex, including
the very mother that bore him. i
was one of those unspeakable crimes
for which theewhole human species
pays the penalty.

ing chapters were DESTROYED, wfaer
he reads the impressive arguments
that remain.
Proves Eema2e Must Work
She sketches those scientific anal
ogies that prove, from the life of thu
lower amimals, that the female hal
always had her work to do. in add
ton to bearing of the young, ane
that in many species. she is fitted by
nature to dispense altogether with
the male as defender and provider
She reviews the highest society
where woman wall neither turn 9
hand to honest labor nor fulfill their
God given function of being mothers
to their kind. And her conclusion
is unacceptable:

Muskogee. Ok, Sept. 25.-Four
years ago the photographers of the
state disported themselves when a
one-tegged man married one-eyed
woman, with red hair, at Muskogee.
That man was Pegleg Pete, the
pirate" ferryman on the Arkan-
sas at Hyde Park.
According to Pegleg Pete's story
love jungles grow along the banks
of the Arkansas as we'll as elsewhere.
That is why he has raised the pirates
flag with the avowed intention of
scuttling the ship of the once loved
wife, who is now riding the waves Of
the raging Arkansas with another
man.
Pirate Flag A Flying
Somewhere on the river between
Muskogee and Fort Smith is the
houseboat of the afinities. Skipper
Pete is in pursuit of them with his
pirate flag flying. And when they
are overhauled they may expect to
walk the plank, unless Pete's pirate
nerve fails him, as it did last night.

volver to snuff out their love laden
lives.
On The Side of Her Good Eye
Pegleg Pete lost one of his legs
long time ago and now stumps
around on wooden peg. A one
eyed wife was not supposed to see
aught wrong with one-legged man
but evidently she did. That is why
Pete came to town with his ayowed
piratical intentions.
Pete lived in houseboa on the
river and ran a ferry boat. Accord
ing to his story the other man ap-
peared on the river one day and was
taken in. He bought one of Pete's
households. The other man immed-
lately began appearing regularly on

coming to Muskogee and going to

WOMAN FATED TO WORK.
So Says Olive Sch1einer in His Book and She
luminous Man Who Broke Open Her Desk

Finely clad, tenderly housed, life
became for woman merely the graf
ification of her own physical appe-
titles, and the appetites Of the male
through the stimulation of which
she could maintain herself. And
whether as kept wife or kept mis-
tress. she contributed nothing to the
active and sustaining labors of her
society. She had attained to the
full development of that type
which, whether in modern Paris or
New York or London, or in ancient
Greece, Assyria or Rome, is essen
tally one in its features. its nature
and its results. She was the fine
lady, the human female parasite
the most deadly microbe which can
make its appearance on the surface
of any social organism. Wherever
in the history of the past this type
has reached its full Development
and has comprised the bulk of the
females belonging to any dominant
class or race, it has heralded its de-
cay"
As This Woman Sees The Future
AS for woman's primitive func-
ton of collaborating Olive Schreiner
declares the problem eH race suicide
rs simply the outcome of economic
conditions, which make the produc-
ton ef many children needless, per-
haps harmful. She goes SO far as
to declare:
ut is certain that the time is no W

privilege, permissible only to those
who have shown their power rightly

Vast armies of women exist IN the
big cities and in the country. too,
who are doomed not only to race

Demands Socially Equal Toll
