Woman, who has for ages past
Her burdens borne unknown.
Stands side by side with man at last.
And firmly claims her own.
The maxim that her sphere IL home
Perhaps Is very true,
But the hand that rocks the cradle
Should mark the ballot, too.
For within those tiny trundle beds \
Lie our future men Of states
And within their mothers loving
hands
Swing the pendulums Of their fate.
They look to her for love and health
And home life pure and true;
Should mark the ballot, too.

Come forth, o wives and mothers,

Press Comment
Women as Paid Reformers

A young woman who tried to
drown herself in Lake Michigan is
quoted as saying that she became
tired Of life when She found there
was no livelihood in prospect for her
as a paid social reformer. She had
lad some training in sociology, ana
lad started out 10 reform the world.
But she found no demand for her SER
vices at living salary, was compell-
ed TO become a waitress in default of
training for more skilled employ
ment, aud dependency was the nat
ural result.
There ought to be a lesson in this
young woman's history to many
other ambitious young women The
world needs reforming. undoubtedly,
but it does not yearn enough for re-
form to Justify anybody without
means or the ability to earn a living
in some other way in becoming a
professional reformer.
There are paid agents of reform
and charity organizations, but they
are low AT the social settlements
the paid workers are hardly in exis-
tence, those who understand social
settlement work do so either with in
dependent incomes or as an cecupa-
ton fer The hours when they are not
earning a living.
The would-ba professional reform
er may ask little for his or her SCI
vices hrt sclf-reform with genuine
altruistic interest in others Is the
