CHARACTER TEST

During the discussion in congress
on the bill regulating immigration in
to the United States great deal has
been said about placing a "qualifica-
ton Of character into the bill. On
this particular matter Senator vii.
liams of Mississippi remarked:
MY friend, the Senator from New
York, (Mr. O'Gorman) says there
ought TO be "a qualification of char
acter' but not of intelligence. Oh,
would to God there was some way
whereby qualification for character
could be defined and established! But
how in the name of common sense
could anybody write into a statute a
qualification of character?

how much better one man was than
another, how much more nearly hon.

Woman and the Economic Problem
BY DOROTHY DIX

We actually speak Of the woman
who is engaged i'm this tremendous
labor as being supported" by her
husband We regard her as a de-
pendent and she has no financial
status. She draws no wage for her
services. and even the government
census report refuses to enroll her
among those women who are en-
gagged in "gainful occupations"
No wonder the discriminating
and those without sense of hui
NOR call her a parasite. No Won
der that she even looks upon her
self as one,
With their growing freedom in
other matters it becomes more and
more humiliating to wives to be
forced to go to their husbands and
ask. like beggars. for every penny
they spend. Every woman with her
own pocketbook fills the woman
with no poc>etbook with an envy
that turns her thoughts toward the
outside world. The wife knows that
she labors harder than the business
or professional woman. and that her
services are better worth paying
for. and she rebels at the injustice
that makes her a dependent, sub
iect to the whims of her husband.

foresee that the job of wife has got
to have a pay envelope attached to

of giving all of ones time. and

ever faithful, can take the place of
a wife and mother in the household,
or give to a home just that brood
ing atmosphere of love and tender
ness that a home must have to be a
success. 1t takes the one woman in
all the world to whom the house is
the be-all and the end-all of life to
make the real home.
This is Woman's ancient occupa-
ton. the one she was ordained to by
nature and in following which she
finds not only her greatest happi-
ness. but her greatest profit for
few women can support themselves
as comfortably as they live in their
husbands home.
But the bread of independence is
sweet and the cakes and ale of de-
pendence bitter. and henceforth the
domestic woman's position in the
family must be recognized as that
of one of the partners in the firm.
not as hanger-on. who takes what
stray coins are thrown her way. and
is expected to be grateful for being
supported.
In word, wife and mother is

TT is the fashion With certain
writer's nowadays to call every
woman who does not earn her
living outside of the homo, "a para
site"
This term OF reproach is even be
ing applied to the wife and mother
who cooks and scrubs and seWs
and mends and baby tends, and who
works eighteen hours out Of the
- at the uever-ceasing labor of
making a home and rearing a fam
lily. To the lay mind it would seem
that if anybody on the face of the
earth earns her board and keep,
and is not dependent. but a self
supporting member Of society. il Is
such woman
This appears. however. to be an
erroneous view Of the matter and
the poor domestic drudge who
works herself TO death in her own
home is being denounced in scath-
ing terms as a parasite, despic-
able leech who lives on her hus-
band, and permits herself to he

1t is a bromide to say that the
welfare Of humanity rests upon the
stability Of the home. and that the
woman who brings up noble sons
and daughters has made the most
precious gift possible to the world.

Woman's Vanity Causes
Much Useless Slaughter.

The vanity which leads to all
this trapping and hunting. the
adjoining of the body with the
heads, claws, tails and skins Of the
little furry brothers, the decking
forth with the beautiful plumage
of the kin of wood and glen
The cruelty of sport when lnno-
cent and beautiful creatures like
deer, moose. wild song bird and
fish are sacrificed TO the human
delight in slaughter and bloodshed.
But sacrificed to still greater
degree when wounded and left to
die slowly of wounds and starva-
ton.
The cruelties practiced in con-
nection with the exhibition of trick
animals. Lions beaten over the
head with clubs till the blood flows
from nose and ears; horses, dogs
and cats whipped numerically in
being taught: elephants urged by
the jerk Of an iron hook inserted
in the ear.
The neglect. Indifference, igno-
rance and cruelty of which domestic
animals are the victims.
And the crowd of cruelties PEI
petrated by man, the unmention-
able secret crimes of the viviscc-
tors laboratory.
These are the practices, not of
the ancient days of bloody sacri-
fees. nor of the middle ages of
dark and secret crimes. but of the
open. progressive, moral nine
teenth and twentieth centuries.
For all this Mrs. Krause thinks.
with every intelligent and kind
hearted being, that the remedy lies
with the mothers and teachers.
She suggests what has been said
in this paper many and many a
time, that Sunday schools should
teach children to love and under
stand animals, and tina ministers
should preach on this subject from
the pulpit. and that classes should
be formed TO educate mothers how
to educate their children.
