HEALTH AS AN INVESTMENT.

AS an investment in the health Of
their members, four large fraternal
orders, two international labor un-
ions, and one of the largest insurance
companies in the United States have
established sanatoria for the treat
ment of tuberculosis, according to a
statement issued recently by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis.
The Royal league, the first fraternal
order to establish a sanatorium, con-
ducts a hospital for its tuberculosis
members at Black Mountain. The
Modern Woodmen of America con-
ducts one at Colorado Springs, the
Workmen's circle, at Liberty, N. Y,
and will soon open second one at
San Fernando, Cal. The Internation-
al Typographical union has since 1898
conducted sanatorium at Colorado
Springs, and the international Print
ing Pressmen and Assistants Union
of America has recently opened a
new institution at Rogersville, Tenn.
The Metropolitan Life Insurance COM
pany is now erecting sanitorium at
Mt. Gregor, N. Y, which will be the
first Of its kind to be established by
an "old line" insurance company.
In addition to these institutions al
ready established, the Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks, the Forest
ers of America, the Knights of CO.
ltimbus, the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows, and several other orders are
considering the advisability of erect
ing sanatoria for their tuberculosis
members. Some of the large frater-
nal orders and labor unions, like the
Ladies of the Maccabees of the World,
the International Photo -Engravers'
union, and others conduct educational
campaigns against tuberculosis,
though they do not have sanatoria of
their own. The Equitable Life Assur-
ance society also has recently estab-
lished Conservation Department"
in which the prevention of tubercu-
losis will be given especial attention.
Other insurance companies are con-
sidering similar action.
Since the membership of the lead
ing fraternal orders alone is nearly
100000, the National association
estimates that about 10000 members
of these lodges die of tuberculosis
alone every year. Since more than
half of these lives could be saved at
a comparatively small outlay, the as
sociation figures that the fraternal
orders are losing millions every year
in death claims which might be saved.

WOMEN TO THE FORE.


Women suffragists seem to have
overlooked most important argu-
mcnt as to why they are worthy of
enfranchisement. This fact is pointed
out by Robert Shackleton, in an in
teresting and instructive article in a
recent issue of the Saturday Evening
Post, entitled, "The Greatest of These
is Charity" In the main this article
is devoted to a discussion Of modern
charity, what it is doing and what it
is failing to do. Mr.. Shackleton points
out that sums of money are now being
devoted to charity which are vastly
greater than ever before, both COM
paratively and absolutely; millions are
dispensed where formerly there were
only thousands; and the benevolent
institutions Of our country are al
most double in number what they
were twenty years ago; yet there is
no lessening of the total of need. This
is due, thinks Mr.. Shackleton, to
curious carelessness on the part of
many of the great charity givers and
the small ones as well.
He rightly says that the entire field
of charity is full of surprises, and
that one of the greatest surprises of
all-"something that wonder has not
been seized upon as yet by the suffra-
gets as an argument for enfranchise-
ment-is the fact that women are far
from constituting the majority of the
helpless and needy; for most of the
recipients of charity are not women
and girls, but men and boys! OF the
inmates of charitable institutions for
people needing permanent care there
are three times as many men as there
are women. In the aims houses of the
country there are almost twice as
many men as women. And the re-
ports Of institutions giving temporary
relief show the same or greater pre-
ponderance of male recipients"
Surely this is forceful argument
for the cause of woman's suffrage. 1t
would be difficult to provide better
one, except the one that being prop
erty owners, taxpayers and citizens of
states and the common country, amen
able to all the laws, they have an in
alienable right to participate in the
government to the same extent as
have the men.
These facts presented by Mr..
Shackleton certainly put the women
in an enviable light. They are shown
to be able to care for themselves to
even better advantage than do the
men. A state or nation is merely
collection of individuals banded to-
eether for their advancement and pro-
lection. No state or no nation rises
to higher civilization or becomes
more competent than does the aver
age of its component parts, the in
dividuals who make it up. This being
true, and women showing themselves
to be better able to care for them
selves than are the men, there is
assuredly no reason to deny them
their rights for the fullest possible
participation in all the affairs of gov
ernment. Will not such participa-
tion on their part better the gov
ernment? AS matter of fact that
has been the case wherever suffrage
has been extended to women, and in
whatever measure. The great, great
majority of them are always found
on the right side of every moral ques-
tion, and there are few questions, pub
lie or private, which are not tinged
in some way with morality.
