IwoMAN's LIFE IN PORTUGAL
she Does Most of the Farm Work and
Shares in Heavy Labor Of
the Cities.

A good part of the farm work in
Portugal is performed by the women,
who see no reason why they should
regard digging. hoeing and blowing
as the work of men alone. The man
who owns few acres Of land will
often leave it's cultivation to his wife
and daughters, while he labors as car
penter, stonemason or cooper, for
cask-making is one of their important
Industries. He also likes to get a job
as waiter in one of the numerous
hotels at seaside resorts, for the
country has thousands of continental
and English visitors. Women share
in the heavy work of the cities as
we'll. There are female porters, la
and even women coal-Leavers, fish
ermen, or rather fisherwomen, and
sailors. They are as strong and
hardy as their husbands and broth
ers and seem to stand long hours and
hard labor as we'll.
OF course it rather takes away the
glamour of romance when one sees a
young Wouldu Wilu uuSly Cniseioo ASo-
lures and beautiful black eyes digging
with spade and mattock or heaving
basket Of coal into ships hold with
as much ease as the American girl
plays tennis and golf. They seem
happy under what we would consider
hard conditions, SO the reformer
would probably have his labor for his
pains If he suggested change in
this department Of Portuguese ma
tional existence.-The Christian Her

In this fashion Speaker Champ
Clark has answered the statements
that have been made to the effect
that the democrats proposed to de
vote the present session to efforts to
put the republicans in hole. so
as to strengthen their own position
for next year
The democratic party made the
definite promise to give the people
relief from conditions which have
come to be regarded as intolerable,
the speaker continued. I'VE of the
majority would not be true to our
word. therefore. if we stopped in the
middle of our program to play poll
tics in order that we might be in a
better position next year.
THE best way for us to play poll
tics is to carry to a conclusion, in so
far as we are able. the excellent rec
ord we already have made. The peo-
| pie are looking to us for accomplish
ment rather than for strategy. an,
we need have no fear of the future
ii we go along with our program as
we-have started.
| During the past summer the speak
er has been travelling about the coun-
try a good deal, feeling the pulse of
the people, and now that he is back
in Washington he is making it plain
10 the boys, as he calls them. that
the country is in no mood to wait
for relief which he and his colleag-
ues promised them. He is making
it plain that what the people want
is achievement, and not playing to
the galleries, with barren record OF
results when the session ends.
Mr.. Clark has been telling his CO.
workers in the house of representa-
tives that the people throughout the
country are more keenly alive thar
ever before to what is going on in
Washington. He has told them in
substance. that if the democrats in
the house go to -dallying around
TRYING to put the president. and the
stand-patters. and the insurgents in
| a deep. dark hole. the result will be
more disastrous to the hole diggers
| than to those whom they might in
tend to engulf therein.
At any rate the speaker has passed
the word around that there must be
action. and those who know the Miss
ourian best declare that he is dead
in earnest. Mr.. Clark realizes, say
his friends, that the present is his
party's opportunity. and that the best
way to take advantage of it is by
action, rather than with attempts to
shift the blame to the other fellow.
