Certain anti-suhragists lay the blame
of all the evils in the political, social and
business world upon women. on the
ground that men would never do wrong
if their mothers had brought them up
right.
This is to assume that mothers un-
aided influence must be adequate to build
up her boys whole moral nature, and to
co1nteract all the evils with which cor
rupt environment can surround him.
Thousands of mothers have done their
very best, and yet have seen their efforts
fail. A woman may keep her own home
spotlessly clean, but if bad city gov
ernment leaves the streets foul and the
school-houses unsanitary, her children
may perish of diseases for which the city
and not the mother is to blame. She may
do her utmost in her own home to teach
them virtue, but if the home is surround
ed by gambling houses and evil resorts,
protected by high officials, her exhorta.
tions may fail before the force of bad
company and bad example.
Thus was the argument for woman
suffrage advanced by noble and famous
mother, the wife of Governor Wallace of
Indiana, from whom General Lee Wallace
said that he drew the portrait of his
mother in his novel, "Ben Hur." After
bringing up large family, Mrs Wallace
in her later years became very effect
i've woman suffrage lecturer. She de-
scribed the mother, teaching her boy
that he must be upright and honorable if
he wishes to be respected. Mrs. Wallace
continued:
''That boy goes out from his mother,
and the first thing he meets with neu-
tralizes and gives the lie to all his moth.
er's teachings. He says to himself, why
mother says so and So; but he finds mer
in high places violating all those teach.
ings, and he begins to conclude that his
mother does not know much about it
From that moment that boy discounts his
mothers judgment, and though she still
must have hold on his affections. she
does not have hold upon him in any
other way. There is where you wrong
US, gentlemen, and cripple US in training
men who will make the statesmen of this
nation. To do successfully that part OF
the work of the world which is given Us
we must have voice in making the con
ditions that surround us while we do that
work.
AS Mrs. James Lees Laidlaw has more
recently said, women must not only pre-.
pare the children for the world, they
must help to prepare the world for the
children. Mothers some times succeed
in spite of all drawbacks; but they dc
their work under an undue handicap sc
long as they are not allowed a vote in
shaping the environment that surround:
their homes.

Dust Deals In Death

A warming against the dangers OF
dust was issued in statement made
by the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis,
in which it is shown that the percent
age of deaths caused by tuberculosis
in dusty trades is more than double
that for all employed men in the
registration area of the United States.
As a result of the dangers from
consumption to those exposed to var
ious forms of dust, and at the request
of the National Association, the
United States Government has re-
Gently appointed commission to
work in cooperation with state au-
thorities in making an investigation
into the conditions of the metal min
ing industries in the United States,
with special reference to diseases OF
the lungs. The work of the commits
sion engaged in this special task will
follow lines somewhat similar to those
worked out by the Royal Commission
of Australia, whose report was re-
Gently received in this country.
"Dusts are of three kinds" says
the National Association; factory,
street, and house dusts." The state
ment refers to the results obtained
through investigations made for the
Bureau of Labor, by Frederick L..
Hoffman. While among males gen.
orally in the registration area OF the
United States 14.5 per cent of all
deaths are from consumption, the
mortality among grinders from this
disease is 1872 per cent, and in hard
ly any of the dusty trades is it below
25 per cent. The percentage of deaths
from tuberculosis among all those
exposed to metallic dust is 36.9 per
cent; to mineral dust 2S.6 per cent;
to vegetable fibre dust 2S.S per cent;
TO mixed animal and other forms Of
dust 32.1 per cent; to street dust %
per cent; and to organic, or dust
coming from the articles being man
ufacturcd % per cent.
The statement speaks also of the
dangers from house dust, especially
in rooms that are not well ventilated.
The Association warns against dry
sweeping, and against the use OF the
feather duster, or other devices that
scatter, but do not take up the dust.
Since the ordinary dust blown
about in the streets is impregnated
with disease germs, the National AS
sociation urges the adoption of meth
DDS that will prevent the further dis
semination of such bacilli. 1t also
urges for the coming months of fall
and winter, more open windows and
more fresh air in house, shop, and
schoolroom.

CuRING CANCER By MAIL.

The benzoate controversy continues
to rage and roar in the Department
If Agriculture, but meanwhile it is
pleasant to observe that the other and
perhaps more important work OF the
pure food and drug sleuths is going
on unhindered by that clatter. Late
". under the direction Of DR.. L. F.
Kebler, Dr.. Wiley's chief aid, who
was recommended for dismissal in
Wickersham report, they have been
devoting themselves to fake cancer
cures" with the result that eight
fraud orders have been issued by the
Postoflice Department. The latest
offender to bite the dust is one Chas.
w. Mixer, of Hastings, Mich, who
did business under the style Of The
Doctors Mixer" and filled the agri-
cultural and small religious papers
with his preposterous claims.
Mixer is not Il physician, and his
father, who was, has been dead for
many years, but nevertheless nc Of
fered to diagnose CANCER, and by mail,
and promised quick cures to his dup s,
The medicines he sent. it must be
said of him, were not actually harm
full, but on the other hand their cura-
tive value was absolutely nil, and 50
proceedings were instituted against
him. His defense was the invariable
one of the quack. That is to say, he
produced testimonials from patients
who swore that he had cured them.
But the Assistant Acknowledgement
who heard the case very properly dis
missed such testimony as OF no value.
Said he:
There was no satisfactory evidence ad-
duced that the persons making these
statements had cancer. The
opinion of the patient himself on this sub
ject is, of course, of no consequence. 1t
is well. recognized fact that cancer is
one of the most difficult diseases to dag
nose with certainty, and that micro
scopic examination is essential to the
making of positive diagnosis.
1t is to be expected that out of the null
titude of cases that Mixer treats each
year there should be certain number of
instances in which persons do not have
cancer at all, but are afflicted with non
malignant sores which are amenable t"
treatment and which in some instances
do Weld to treatment. The recovery of
such cases is what furnishes> the adver-
tiser with the pretext of claiming that
he has actually cured cancer.
Here the whole truth about all the
so called cancer cures, medical or
mental" is admirably put. Per-
sons with benign tumors fancy that
they have cancer, the application OF
a few boxes of salve or the intoning
of few strophes Of New Thought
baldedash is followed by the disap-
pearance of the tumor-and another
cure goes to tn" credit Of the doe
tor" The Assistant Attorney-Gen-
cral might have added that all these
cancer cures" when applied to real
cancer, are utterly without value.
There is, in fact, no known cure for
cancer, save surgical Interference,
and the more widely that fact is rec
ognized by the unfortunate victims
of the disease the greater will bc their
chances of getting well and the small
er will be the prosperity of the quacks
who now offer them sure-curcs by
