ooh, 7 wish We're man I could
do $50 much more in my work.
1t was Molly, the little stenographcr
lady who enunciated that sentiment.
She made her moan before group
of half a dozen women. and four out of
the six promptly echoed her sentiment.
Just imagine being able to ask any
body you wanted to marry you, and
not simply sit and wait to be asked"
said the autformans wife. Aren't
they lucky?"
Wouldn't it be great to be able 10
travel around anywhere you liked and
see the world and have adventures and
never have to think about property
unused the butterfly girl.
The other two didn't give any reas-
on, just said they'd always wished
they'd been born boys instead of girls.
Have you ever noticed how often you
hear this sentiment expressed among
women, especially of the younger gem
Grafton?
How / wish I had been born a
mani"
Why, to one young woman I've heard
say she was heartily glad she was a
woman, I've heard ten say they wish
they had been born on the other side
of the fence.
incidentally, I can't recall that I ever
heard man say he wished he had
been a woman. Can you?
Isn't it queer?
And yet | can't quite condemn the
attitude, because I must confess that
I've been one of the ten sometimes
But ] do think there is a good deal
more on the reverse of the medal than
many of US who envy men their free
dom and their opportunity to do big
things, realize.
For instance, I've often heard one of
these would-have-been men say with
a sigh of relief when the work went
badly "Oh, we'll, I suppose / shall get
married and stop work some day"
Please turn over the medal, madame
please remember that a man, no
matter how strenuous and exhausting
the competition, no matter how dis
agreeable the conditions of his work
may be, cannot look forward to any
such relief Marriage means to him
merely the shouldering of new and
tremendous responsibilities He can
not fail now, he canot drop out of the
ranks, He must keep on, no matter
how tired and weary of it all he may
be, once he has given hostage to for
tune" in the shape of wife and chill
.dren.
Again, we think it must be splendid
to be able TO seek out the one you love
and woo her, instead of sitting with
folded hands hoping against hope that
the right man will come for YOU
which, like as not, he never will.
But turn the medal over again. Isn't
il wonderful to know that the one who
lays his heart at your feet has chosen
you out Of all the human beings he
knows to be his mate? The man can
only know that the woman has chosen
him out of the few who have sought
her not out Of all. There is one joy
in having the right to choose out Of
all the world but there is another joy
in being chosen out of all the world.
These are but two ways in which the
medal you thought had only one side
can be turned over
Doubtless you can find others for
yourself.

ApvERTisE-lT HELPS.

Race prejudice in America. while
contrary to reason and equity, has &C.
complished one great and necessary
good for the Negro. It has served as
stimulus to more determined effort
and is now on the verge of accom-
plishing race solidarity to greater
extent than has ever before been ex-
istent. God moves In a mysterious
way. His wonders to perform, and
what we consider hardships are often
blessings In disguise. 1t Ia sometimes
wise to punish man in order to
awaken his latent energies and the
same Is true Of races. Those who
suffer most become the strongest be-
cause they have triumphed over
hardships. The rosy path in life Is
not conducive to the development of
latent power and the thorny path of
prejudice has done more to stimulate
Negro effort than anything else.
There will come a time when this
prejudice must fall and 60 the way
Of all other discarded implements Of
civilization and that time is not far

WHICH ONE? IF ANY.

Many OF our people complain that
they have paid for one Of our local
publications and never received It
also that they nave contributed II.
nancially to the same. This publica.
ton was started as a business en-.
terprise, on its merits, not as a
piteous object, and each issue has
spoken for itself. 1t Is supposed that
people who subscribe for papers are
intelligent, and should know whether
they paid for this paper or The Week

ly untrue, and unfair to both papers.

FRATERNAL coHEsIvENEss.

A real fraternal feeling is rapidly
growing among the two Masonic
bodies in st. Paul, and it cannot be
made to strong. On the level it's the
square thing to do and plumb foolish
to do otherwise. Since the election
of Mr.. Francis as Worshipful Master
of Pioneer Lodge and Mr.. Melchor
OF Perfect ASHER Lodge the Lodges
are coming closer together.
Negroes must "GET TOGETHER"
and stick and the Masons are no ex.
ception to the rule. When you hear
a Negro Mason talking against an
other lodge he has forgotten his obi
cation and should be reminded Of 1t.
Forget the past, wipe off the slate
and work together. The Star and the
wants to see each Lodge
hold the other on the five points OIL

THE BONDING BILLS.

The favorable report on the Bridgeport bonding measures is un- objectionable so long as they are to be submitted to the voters at their option. The bills call for the bor- rowing and expenditure of almost ent to one one-hundredth of the grand list of Bridgeport. It is a debt that should not be created eX- cept upon the affirmative vote of the electors. It is the people who have to foot the bills. It is for the people to say what bills they will foot, and especially whether they will incur an extraordinary debt, and what for. The optional referendum, which is the form reported by the committee. is sound in principle. but the per centage required upon the petitions is much higher than the percentage ordinarily demanded. The best prac- tice requires such petitions to be signed by not more than 10 per cent. Ol luG bOlSES oO dS 1O pSI cent signifies the presence of an ac- tive demand for submission. The addition of five per cent. more is merely making the work of subunfs sion extra arduous.
 Senator McNeil. while a believer In the principle of optional referendum in ordinary cases, is of the opinion that where a debt is to be authorized the submission should be automatic and he will endeavor to have the bonding bills amended so that they must be submitted to the voters n October, whether there is a petition or not. There is little doubt but that Senator McNeirs course will meet the approval of a very large number of freemen.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-07-07

duction of electricity for its people is increasing in prosperity in many ways.
 If public ownership of electric light is a bad thing, why do the owners of private monopoly fight so hard against public ownership?
 As soon as Bridgeport votes to es- tablish an electric lighting plant, up will step the United Illuminatin Company and demand the purchase of under the law.
 The United Illuminating Company knows that it cannot compete with the city of Bridgeport in the produc- tlon of electricity. It knows that the establishment of a municipal plant would be equivalent to the confisca- ton of its own plant. Therefore it will desire to sell
 But it will fight hard to prevent the city from voting to establish plant, is fighting now. Why does it light hard, since it must be paid for it's property?
 Because it can only get what its property is worth at the time the city decides to establish a plant.
 It cannot get paid for what it's plant would be worth five, ten, 20 or 50 years hence. It wants the big profits that will be taken from the increasing population of Bridgeport by the sale of electric light not only now, but through all time.
 It doesn't want those profits to go to the public.
 But private monopoly faces today an educated public, which knows the difference between a debt that is pro- ductive and one that is a dead weight upon the tax payers.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-07-07

have been. Direct primaries get the people acceptable men in all parties.
 Senator Judson has not blundered in making the announcement that he will report as minority of the judi ciary committee a bill for direct prl- maries. Neither does he blunder in proposing a submission of the law to the people, for he thus forces all the cunning, subtle and corrupt enemies of popular government into the posi- tion where they. must declare them selves, not as against a particular law alone, but as opposed to letting the electors say whether they want the particular law or not.
 Who is on the peoples side will vote for the direct primaries.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-07-07
PRODUCTIVE DEBT.

It is sometimes necessary for nun icipalities to go into debt, rather than defer needed public improvements. In these cases the end to be sought should be to pay off the debt in the shortest time consistent with a rea- be found financial justification for issuing bonds for non productive en- terprises for a longer term than 25 years, and this period should be shortened to ten years if possible.
 The case with productive enter prise is different. Cities then stand in the same relation to the debt that private borrowers may. That is to say, business man will frequently borrow money at 5 per cent. to ing vest it in something that will pay him ten per cent
 The trouble is that the productive enterprises in which a city ought to engage are in the hands of private monopolies which find their sinecures so fat they labor night and day to prevent the public sharing in the benefits.
 The owners of private monopoly, approached by the possibility that the city may deprive them of their func- tions and their profits, urge quietly, but necessarily, the creation of as large an unproductive debt as may be. They favor $3,000.00O sewer schemes and broach unnecessary plans to get the city into debt.
 The object of these tactics is that they may say to the citizens, See, how much the city owes. Would you plunge the city into debt to buy an electric light works, or a water works, or a gas works, or trolley liner" They are like ostriches, who stick their heads in the sand and think that nobody sees them.
 The people know that a man who ! mortgages his home to buy an auto mobile for his mere convenience, or pleasure, is somewhat poorer by that reason. But the people know that a man who borrows money with which to buy an acre of land that is cer- ] tain to increase in value is thereby richer.
 So a city which spends a million merely for conveniences may or may not get it's money back
 But 8 city that engages in the pro-
