"WoMAN's SPHERE"

Woman's sphere is the home, and
there, too, is the sphere Of man. The
home embraces everything we strive
for in this world. To get and main
tain a decent home is the object Of
all our best endeavors. But where is
the home? What are Its boundaries?
What must we do to secure and pro-
tect it?
In olden times the home was a priv
ate factory. The man worked in the
field or at his handicraft, while the
woman made food and clothes. She
shared in out-of-doors labor; but in
door work naturally became her spe-
cial province The household was the
center of production, and In 1t and
about It man supplied himself with
all that he needed-or all that he. had
by rudimentary hand-prooesses The
mill to grind corn was not for away.
The leather used by the shoemaker
was from beef killed by neighbor.
Over every cottage door the words
might have been written: "Mr. and
Mrs Man, Manufacturers and Dealers
in General Merchandise" Home life
and industrial life were one. Today
they are widely separated. Industries
that used to be in the house are spread
all over the world The woman's spin
ming wheel and part of her kitchen
and dairy have been taken away from
her. When she seeks to understand
economic affairs and to exert her au-
thority In their management, she is
In reality only following her utensils.
The spinning wheel has grown a
monstrous thing. In order to identify
It, one must study wages, tariffs, divi-
dends, the organization OF labor and
factory sanitation. The woman who
studies these problems and insists on
having a voice in their solution is in
her home as truly as was her grand
mother whose tireless foot drove the
treadle of the old spinning wheel. The
home is where those things are made
without which no home can be COM

BETTER AS A CORPSE.

If the national republican party is
really dead, as Mr.. Roosevelt has as
serted, and the returns from the recent
presidential election would seem to in
dictate, there will not be many tears
shed over its demise down in Dixie,
and political conditions in this and
other sections should be improved by
its passing,
The republican party was born as a
sectional party and never entirely lost
that character. Mr.. Taft made an hon
est endeavor to be the President of the
whole country and the South bears him
no grudge for anything that could be
construed as sectional discrimination,
or that was offensive to Southern
sensibilities. Still a large portion of
the Southern people have traditional
prejudice against the name republi-
can as used to distinguish the politi-
cal party so-called, and as long as
there is a republican party to combat.
the South will likely preserve It's solid
front and the freedom of political
thought and action in this section will
be more or less fettered and re-
strained.
If the republican party should pass
out Of existence the last vestige of
sectional politics would soon vanish.
There would then be no party in ex-
istence to recall the memory of re-
construction. none that the South holds
responsible for the attempts to sub
ordinate It's white people to the rule
OF a mass Of untutored blacks, their
lately liberated slaves-and with those
bitter memories out of the way the
South would vote with greater free
dom on national questions than It has
done in MANY wears.

Speed Is the desire OF man to get

before he starts.
Nobody heard much about speed un-
til hundred years ago. II a man
couldn't run fast enough to suit him
self, he hired a horse and beyond that
he had no ambitions. Then somebody
discovered a method of stuffing To-
connective boiler full Of steam and the
world began to take up speed as a
fad.
We now have trains so fast that
they can transport passengers sixty
miles across country and half way up
the golden stairs in an hours time.
An automobile which only goes a
mile a minute is all banged up in the

can now run around a mile track so
fast that the driver is breathing his
own dust all the time.

What Was Decided?
Q<ansas City JournalD

thanSdS Clty JOURNAL
1t is just possible that the advocates
of the initiative and referendum and
other freak fads now fashionable in
the West are rejoicing prematurely
when they hail the recent decision of
the supreme court of the United
States as opening the door 10 the
recognition of this reform by the
highest tribunal of the land, or even
by congress. The decision appears
merely to give new expression 70 the
idea that the states are empowered to
pass whatever legislation they see fit
To enact, without in any way binding
congress or the supreme court to up
hold such legislation. 1t is more than
probable that whenever any laws
passed by the states violate the con-
stitution or congressional enactment,
the supreme court can still be relied
on to vindicate the superior authority
of the government in its various de-
partments.
Under the decision it does not APP
pear that any state would be going
beyond its rights in enacting Il law
that provided for the gross and pal
Fable violation Of the constitution,
but such a law would be invalid and
the supreme court would so declare
when it was brought before that body.
The legality or merit of the initiative
and referendum does not appear to
have entered into the decision at all,
and to read the courts approval OF
the system into the decision is wholly
| unwarranted.
The states have always had the
