If woman's business methods
are judged by her employers as not
being up to the standard which the
office has set, her tongue runs away
with her. Everyone within range of
her displeasure comes in for a

learned of the business, violates
every oonfid ence that has been placed
in her, ridieules her employer, and
fails utterly to realize that her
chances of future success in the bust

Perhaps some day, woman, in the
concrete, will have reached that high

where she will cease to judge her
sister from her own standard, and
where the personal view point will
have ceased to be the mental tape

MUCH GOOD DONE BY STRIKE
Lawrence Tragedy Has Shown lnfamy
and Outrage Of Aldrich Brand
Of Protection.

The situation at Lawrence, Mass,
is a staring exhibit Of the wrong and
outrage that are wrapped in the rob-
Der cloak Of Schedule X.
Senator Simmons Of North Carolina
is plainly right In his statement Of the
case. The wooden manufacturers OF
Lawrence have been haunting the lob
bies Of congress for more years OF
rapacity and intrigue than fairly be-
long to a single generation. Under
the cunning hand Of Aldrich they
have spun aud woven their "indefen-
sible" schedule-in hypocritical pre-
tense Of protecting free American
workingmen from the competition OF
tho pauper labor Of Europe"
With this same wooden schedule In
their pockets the same manufacturers
who have so unctuously negotiated
it and imposed its heavy taxation upon
all American clothes have sailed on
securely to Europe, and there have
ransacked the darkest corners Of tho
old world to find and bring to Amer
lea the very "paupers" from whom
Americans were to be protected.
Or If the poor wretches Of the op-
pressed lands Of the old world were
not quite paupers when they landed
on these shores the WOODEN manufac-
turers have done their best to make
them paupers after they got here, by
paying them pauper wages.
Did ever a screaming farce end In
such pathos-in such tragedy? Law
renee has been made into an economic
plague spot-a menace to the board
and clothes of all honest working
Americans.
The long-drawn misery Of this Mas
sachusetts strike should scar as with
a branding iron the infamy OF the
Aldrich tariff. If any experience Of a
victimized public can burn out an IN
veterate insult and political crime this
ought to do it-Chicago American.
