VOTES FOR WORKING WOMEN
(Meta |. stern.)

Tramp, tramp, tramp A cast and
silent army they go marching by il
the early light of morning, on thei1
way to office, store and factory, thou
sands of them in every big city, mil
lions of them in the whole country;
the women who toll for wages, the
working women of today
They are no new type of woman
hood. They are on the contrary, the
only true type of womanhood, for Wo-
men have always toifed since civiliza-
ton began and they always will toll,
because all true human dignity is
founded on productive labor.
The grandmothers and great grand.
mothers Of these millions of working
women have been workers and pro-
ducers too in their day, but the char
acter of their work was radically diff
ferent. They worked at home and the
product of their toll was usually in
tended for immediate consumption by
their own families. They owned the
tools with which they worked and
they were their own task masters, de-
termining their own hours of work
and the amount and nature of their
products.
But the modern working women
must leave their ohmes to perform
their labor, for they are only part of a
gigantic system of production destin-
ed to supply the large and compli-
Gated needs of society. They no long
er own their tools, but perform just
one specialized task with the aid of
complicated machinery, and their
hours of labor, the articles they pro-
duce, the conditions surrounding their
daily task, are quite beyond their in
diyidual control.
With the invention OF machinery
and the rise of the factory system,
with the application of steam power
and electricity, woman has become a
social producer, and the change that
revolutionized her economic position
brought about a complete change in
her relation to organized society as
well. The modern working woman
has outgrown the foul walls of home
that comprised woman's sphere in her
grandmother's day. For she has been
called forth to work side by side with
man, to be self-supporting and often
to support others by her toll. The
mans world has become her world
The human sphere has become her
sphere.
The modern woman has exactly the
same burdens to bear and the same
aims to strive for as ! her brother
toiler She is confronted by the
same industrial problems of overwork

Let none Of us complain about
the snow, for it may mean the

economics which will square with the
promises of the party and the expec.

But the dilemma of the house Dem.

Of the Missouri slope who attended

As result of the efforts to interest
the farmers in alfalfa, there will be

One of the particularly interesting
features in connection with the farm
school is the fact that it was attend
ed by a very largo percentage of young
men.
Immediately following the farm
school the state dairymen's convention

program for that event was very good.
State Dairy Commissioner R. F. Flint

secretary of the association.
