WOMEN WHO WORK.

AS a remedy for the unfortunate
condition of many working women,
Mrs. James Henderson offers a
unique proposition. Her theory is
that equal wages will eliminate wom-
en- from the business world. In the
next sentence she explains that wom-
en- are not as well equipped for bust
ness life as men and that with equal
wages woman's place is not In the in
dustrial world" says Mrs. Henderson.
"She is not equal to men in this
respect, because the laws Of nature
have prepared her for something else.
When the equal wage comes and man
and woman are stood up side by side,
seeking position, the man will be chos-
en-. This will make his competition
less and wages better"
There is something radically wrong
with this line of reasoning, because
If women are not equal to men in
business there can be no equal wage.
If man is superior in any marked
degree, then he will command better
pay. This is the rule Of life. Mrs.
Henderson told q great truth, how
ever, when she pointed out just why
young women fail in business. "One
reason why they (young women) do
not prepare themselves before enter
ing the sea of competition is that the
ordinary girl does not expect to re-
main in the business world long"
This is the trouble exactly. The av-
erage girl clerk or stenographer does
not take her work very seriously.
She expects to marry and quit. To
her it is not definite and permanent
career. A man doing the same work
will consider it only a stepping stone
to further business advancement.
There is vast amount of sympathy
over the "poor department store girl"
some Of it well based, no doubt; but
if the well meaning philanthropists
would try to make the girl clerk more
thoroughly efficient, the problem
might, in part at least, be solved.
The average department store girl
clerk is poorly paid mainly because
she is not worth more. Instead Of
dawdling over her work, wasting time
talking about what "he" said at the
party, and dreaming Of social con-
quests, the average girl clerk should
be quick and attentive and as earnest
in her work as the average man, and
then she would advance. Ask any
store manager who are the women
who make the greatest successes and
he will tell you that they are the
ones who devote themselves seriously
to their work.

we shall get all we are now offered,

POLITICS.

Word comes today from Robert M.
Buck, secretary of the La Toilette
committee, that the senator will take
his presidential candidacy west, start
ing early in March; "that he will be
heard in the Dakotas, Iowa, Kansas,
Nebraska, and Oklahoma" The dis
patch says that the senator is said to
be especially anxious to get his cam
paign under way in Kansas, (which
he regards as highly favorable to his
candidacy" This calls to mind the
doubt whether La Toilette has heard
that those high priests of insurgency,
our friends Governor Stubs and Will
liam Allen White, have deserted La
Toilette. If the Wisconsin senator
really regards Kansas as highly fa-
yorable to his candidacy, someone is
apparently not acquainting him with
the latest developments. Indeed, there
are some people who go so far as
to say that Senator Bristow is almost
the only one left in Kansas who is
championing the cause of La Toilette.
Senator Cummins comes out today
with his formal announcement as a
candidate for the presidency. 1t
would now seem as if there were
enough insurgents running for the Of
fee to enable that faction of the Re-
publican party to agree upon some
one Of their number to line up against
President Taft. AS it seems to be
"anybody to beat Taft" they ought to
be able to agree upon one in their
ranks to make the race. From their
actions, however, it would appear that
they think Taft is the strongest man
in the party with the exception of ex-
president Roosevelt.
The president made another ore of
his plain, sane, speeches when he
spoke at New Haven Friday night:
making the sensible plea for economy
and efficiency, emphasizing the fact
that the administration has no desire
to Iersecute business but that ,n the
other hand it would continue to en-
force the law against unlawful cQmbi-
nations. In other words no corpora
tions or individuals have anything to
fear If they are conducting their
business along legal and legitimate
lines. II have abiding faith" says the
president, "that the people will dis
criminate between what is good and
what is fustian." They surely will.
He points out that the recent deci-
sion of the supreme court in the big
cases has paved the way for business
to live within the antitrust law, sig
nificantly stating, at has been en-
forced and will continue to be en-
forced, quietly, hope, and with as
little disturbance to business as pos
sible." He also states that it is his
desire that the tariff be revised with
the least disturbance to business and
upon the most scientific data obtain
able. He sensibly says that he hopes
that the people and congress will dis
Germ that the increase and decrease of
your money should not be controlled
by Wall street nor too much by a
political government at Washington.
At New Haven the president faced
one of the largest crowds ever as
sembled.
