Thought Revolution

Before we can hope for the over

mic form Of industry we must have a

of most of the people, and cause

Suffrage News,


Governor Osborn, of Michigan, from
the Capital on October 80, issued an
appeal to the elections of the State,
asking all good citizens to vote for the
emancipation of Mihcigan women. Gov
ernor Stubs, of Kansas, whose wife
is vice president of the Kansas Wo-
man Suffrage Association, toured the
state in behalf of the suffrage amend
ment. Governor Hunt of Arizona in
his address to the Legislature recon-
mended the submission of the question
to the voters. Governor West, of
Oregon, is member of the Mems
League for Woman Suffrage, and
worked for the passage of the suffrage
amendment in his state.
Twenty thousand men and women,
of all classes of society and every poll
teal faith, led by squadron of cav
airy, marched in solid phalanx down
Fifth avenue on the night of Novem-
Der 8, to celebrate the great victory,
and the brilliant pageant was witness
ed by at least half million people,
most of whom waved votes for wo-

plauded the marchers. The New York
Tribune said: 1T was fine show, and
if giving them the vote would end

ment against extending the suffrage"

So sweeping a change could not be
made without serious inconvenience
to many individuals. Those who al
ready get up very early in the morn
ing to go to their work. including
nearly all working men and women,
would feel the change as a decided
disadvantage.
Thefe are two. most significant
things about the movement: first, is
the general recognition of the increas-
ing interdependence of society, so that
the routine of business in any depart
ment can not be interfered with with
out seriously affecting every other de-
partment of social activity.
And second, is the extent to which
capitalism has permitted business
and industry to absorb the daylight of
our lives, so that in order to preserve
for ourselves some small portion of a
lifetime it is proposed to upset the
entire system of time reckoning that
has been in vogue for centuries, and
that was evolved by careful scientific
observation and calculation.
Savagery with all its brutality, bar
barism with all it's cruelty and feudal-
ism with all its tyranny and inhuman-
ity at least did not take from the mass
of humankind the privilege of the air
and sunlight by imprisoning them in
dingy factories, offices, stores and
dark Easements.
It has been left to capitalism with
its cunning and it's avarice to mono
police for profit the daylight Of our
lives.ss We are fortunate that someone
has not yet invented machine for
bottling the Sunshine and the ozone of
the air.
How much more logical and sensi-
Bile it would be if the business and
scientific world would devote some
thought and energy to devising sys-
TEN of wealth production and distribu-
ton by which men, women and child
rem would not, as now, be compelled
to spend all the days of their lives in
the effort to exc out wretched exist
ence.
Instead of this, we find them trying
to legislate little more daylight into
our lives by a REIMBURSEMENT OF the
clocks.
It remains for Socialism to adjust
the system to the people instead OF
adjusting the people to the system.

Spoons.
Never allow a spoon to stand in a
cup. 1t is well to stir a cup of
bouillon and sip it from the spoon to
test it's temperature. The spoon should
then be laid in the saucer and the
bouillon, tea or coffee drunk direct
from the cup. Soup is eaten from the
side, not the tip, of the spoon. Soup
should be taken up in the spoon in an
outward motion, and the blowing of
soup in the spoon lis the height of bad
manners. Very few vegetables are
now eaten with spoon. Many of our
smartest hostesses use them only for
soft buildings and soups. Even ice
cream is now eaten with small fork.
