Are Women Good Democrats ?

In the United States about 1000. 900
women and girls are wholly or in part
earning their own living OF this number
about 40 per cent, or not quite 5000 600,
are domestic servants The EMPLOYERS
of these women are. in very great ma
jority of cases, themselves women. How
are these women employers treating their
women employees
These are Miss Tarbeil's figures. In
the American Magazine for June she tells
how she arrived at them and what they
mean to her Women. she SAYS. are do
ing great deal for the girls who work in
shops and factories. They have accom-
pliShed much and will accomplish more.
But what are they doing for the domestic
servants whom they employ and the con-

change
This is women's own particular labor
problem. What is her attitude toward it,
If we were to Judge the American woman
solely by what she has done with this
problem, Miss Tarbell says. I'VE must set
her down as A poor enough democrat
She has not created in the household

neither brought herself nor taught her
employees TO look upon domestic service
as dignitied employment. Here is one

He is unquestionably right. American

possess hotels and restaurants in which
all the Injuries of the world are served

variety of products Notwithstanding

the breadth OF sentiment of regret felt for
the late governor as a man who was al

to be the right, irrespective of the strict

From all parts OF the state have come
letters and kilograms of sincere grief over
the death Of Mr.. CrotherS, and these ex-
pressions all bear the same tenor of trib-

with the purpose Of displaying more than

The Antif1y Campaign.

The Boy Scouts in their campaign
against the fly, are intelligently directed
to a consideration Of the profound reason
of the fyS being-namely, unsanitary
conditions. The fly is not necessarily I'M
sanitary, It mayleven be supposed that
there would not be flies enough of the
common house species to become con-
cerned about were premises always scrup-
ulously clean. The corallary OF this pre-
sumption is, of course. that to destroy
the fly without remedying the condition
which breeds the fv would little help mat
tiers. In such case. to be sure we should
be saved from the winged carrier Of dis
ease more insldiously borne. The house
nv, unlike the malaria mosquito, or the
tsetse tly, the bite of which causes the
sleeping sickness, is innoCueouS in respect
to its own untainted organism, incapable
of inducing disease. What it does is to
spread disease about after the manner set
forth in the Boy Scouts declaration of
war. Nature. ever striving for balance,
provides the fly for a scavenger. The fly
thus serves usefully in the first instance to
protect humanity The plan of campaign
involves logically, filth removal with fly
