A New Standard.

Register and Leader: IF / were
a young girl starting life over again
under present conditions | should be
very certain to prove before | mar
ried that | was capable of support
ing myself" said Gertrude Atherton
recently to reporter from the New
York Sun. If a man knows his wife
can support herself he does more for
her; besides the basis of woman S
happiness today is just that economic
independence"
Mrs. Atherton has indicated one
of the most striking changes in the
status of the modern woman. 1t is
this economic independence that
must mean her ultimate triumph or
downfall. And it seems hard to i'm
agine that it will be the latter. When
women are able to choose their ways
of life without regard for the finan-
cial support and protection which
was once cons idered essential, they
will avoid many of the tragedies and
pitfalls of the past.
And the changes in industrial and
domestic life have been such that
this new attitude is a logical part of
the development. The old-fashioned
housewife was responsible for the
comfort and well-being of her house
hold as no modern woman is or
should reasonably expect to be. AS
Olive SChreiner has said, there was
time when if any one asked bur-
gher's wife why she did not go out
into the world to find work she would
have answered.:
Il am too busy to speak with such
n Tho hrnad ic N rho
(already / smell it a-burning.) the
winter is coming on and my children
lack good WOODEN hose and my hus-
band needs warm coat. 1 have six
watts of ale all a-brewing, and daugh-
ters whom | must teach to spin and
sew, and the babies are clinging
round my knees. And they ask me
why | do not go abroad to seek for
new labors? God-sooth, Would you
have me to leave my household TO
starve in summer and die of cold in
winter. and my children to go un-
trained, while | CAD about to seek
tor other work.
And then a change came. Modern
civilization began to possess the
world, and today the spinniag wheels
are all broken. in thousand huge
buildings, steam-driven looms, guild
ed by a few hundred thousand of
hands, produce the clothing of half
the world" and women can 40 long
er say proudly, as of old, 1--WE, and
we alone, clothe our people" The
old-time army of rosy milkmaids has
given place to tie cream separator
and in every direction the ancient
saw about woman's work and sphere
has become in proportion as civil
izatiol has perfected itself, an an
tlquated lie"
New conditions have made the new
standards possible and women are
only meeting the demands of their
natures in the light of the present
opportunities in seeking the ilde-
pendence of self-support, at least as
possible recourse when widowhood
or other circumstances shall make
self-support most desirable. They
are reaching a plane where marriage
tor the mere sake of support will be-
come intolerable. The stigma of be-
ing bought and paid for will cause
their souls to revolt.

The Worlds Big Heart.

The statement comes from London
that the lord mayors fund for the
sufferers of the Titanic now totals
over S1,31e,000 and that subscrip-
tiOns are still pouring in, despite the
fact that there is already on hand
much more than is needed.
The Lord Mayor says that after the
sufferers have been amply provided
for, there will still be large sur
plus on hand and this will be placed
in the hands of public trustees and
will be available for emergencies of
the same kind. He goes on to say
that there is now lying in the Bank
of England over S5,000,0O0 whose
owners are unknown and which is
doing nobody any good 1t represents
over subscribed relief FUNDS for vari-
Gus calamities of past years and in
some instances the trustees have
themselves died and there is 40 one
authorized to check out the funds.
1t would seem that in this day of
advanced thought and action. there
would lie some more definite plan for
handling relief funds. This cid world
of ours has a big heart, and when
the people open their purse strings
for the afflicted there should be some
way of spending all that money for
the public good instead of letting it
lie idle In the banks.-Frank Clark
son in Ida Grove Pioneer.

Attorney General Cosson says that
two Iowa laws must be enforced and
he has called upon the county attor-
neys TO do their duty-or lose their
offices. The two laws are the road
dragging law and the weed cutting
law. The farmers themselves have
helped to enact these laws, for the
farmers had many members in the
legislature and both are conceded to
be for the good of all the people.
Being on the statute books the at
torney general wants them to be en-
forced and that forthwith. The weed
cutting law means that the roadways
must be moved, as the railroads now
have to NOW their right of ways. II
has always appeared like bit OF
folly to make the highways of the
state nurseries for seeds OF pestifer-
Gus plants.

Iowa Railroads.

The annual reports of Iowa rail-
roads do not indicate that shc mana
gers of the companies are IL dire fl
nalcial straits. The net earnings on
Iowa business increased last year al
most two million dollars over the
year previous. Tie gross earnings
showed a slight decrease but eypen-
ses were materially reduced. leaving
a comfortable Increase in the net ear
nings.
II does not appear that the two
cent fare law is handicap TO the
roads when the net earnings for a
year are almost seventeen million
dollars.

Suicide at Belqr AIDE.

This community was shocked yes
terday morning by the sad news of
the instantaneous death of A. NJ.
Weaks, who moved to this village
recently. Mr.. Weaks it is believed
took his own life with a hammer
shot gun at 8 o'clock a. m. The
cause Of the act came through worry
and failing health the past few
years.
Mr.. Weaks was seen several times
up town early in the morning and
while his wife and daughter were in
the back yard he went upstairs to
one of the rooms in which was the
hammer shot gun. It seems he plac.
ed the gun under his jaw and pulled
the trigger. The shot completely
destroyed his face and could hardly
be recognized.
Mr.. Weaks came to Belgrade from
Alpha, a., about ten years ago and
located on a farm two miles north
Of this village which he disposed OF
several months ago.
The remains were taken today tt
Glen Haven, Wis, where he will b.
buried. Mr.. Weaks was 81 year:
old last August and leaves to mourn
his wife and daughter.-Belgrad'

A new FOE OF HORSEFLESH
Reports of a New Epidemic Which
is Destroying Horses in Kan
sas and Nebraska.

Ward county (Minot) Indepen-
dent: N. B. Morris, assistant man.
ager Of the International Harvester
Co., has returned from western Kan
sas, where he visited several weeks
at his old home. He reports that
horses are dying like flies in western
Kansas and the mysterious diseases
affecting them has spread to other
states. It is now in Nebraska, and,
unless checked at once, may be ex-
pected to make its appearance in
North Dakota at an early date. Lit
tie is known of the mysterious dis
ease, and while hundreds of veteri-
narians are experimenting with it, no
one has seemed to discover anything
that will check it. Occasionally a
horse will survive, but usually the
animal dies in from three to four
hours after becoming i'll. The dis
ease is form Of paralysis, the horse
losing control of it's muscles. Gov
Stubs, of Kansas, has offered a re-
ward Of $1,000 to anyone produc
ing a serum that will effect cure OF
the disease.
This puts the farmers of western
Kansas up against hard pronosi-
ton. They have suffered loss Of
crops by drouth for several years
and many who were planning or
putting in a crop Of winter whea1
have lost their power. Many quacl
veterinarians are at work and it is
believed that they are doing more
harm than good.

Geo. Krier of Cold Springs was
operated on at tho Pilon hospital
last Thursday and is now up and
about. Some ten years ago he was
hurt in a runaway. The left side of
the skull was crushed. At that time
it was fixed, but from then till now,
he has had spasms and Of late they
have been coming on oftener and
harder. He was brought here and
the skull opened up and silver Of
bone was found on the brain. This
was removed. For two days after
the operation there was little or no
hope of his recovery, but now he is
gaining very rapidly and promises
complete recovery. - Paynesville
