HERE AND NOW
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
1913 by American j ournal- Examine

II ERE in the heart Of this world,
Here in the noise and din.
Here where our spirits were hurled
To battle with sorrow and sin;
THIS is the place and the spot
For knowledge of infinite things.
This is the kingdom where Thought
Can conquer the prowess of Kings.
Wait for no heavenly life.
Seek for no temple alone:
Here in the midst Of strife
Know what the SageS have known.
Stand not aloof or apart;
Plunge in the thick of the fight:
There is the street and the mart
That is the place TO do right
Not in some cloiSter or cave.
Not in SOME KINGDOM ABOYE-
HERE on this side of the grave.
Here we should labor and love.
So many Gods, SO many creeds.
So many paths that wind and wind.
While just the art of being kind.
It's all the sad world needs.

VUYHEN Mr.. Bryan and the
w puffy little Mr.. Coin, of
Chicago, were conducting
their Financial School, the pub
lie became familiar with the agi-
tation against monometalism in
protest of the single standard in
money.
When the woman movement
gets its second wind the public
is going to be made familiar with
monomoralism in protest of the
double standard in morals.
AS the fashion now stands. So
ciety is addicted to the crooked
est hypocrisy toward its male Of
tenders.
Under the necessity of main
tanning in some way a condem-
nation of personal vice and of
keeping its function of moral in
dignation from falling into dis
use entirely, society out Herods
Herod against weak and betrayed
womanhood and smokers in its
sleeve over the original sinner
who happens to belong to the su-
perior sex.
1t is a simple matter Of moral
mathematics that when women
reach the maturity of their social
selfhood we will have a show
down on this question.
A Square Deal.
The connection Of monomor-
alism with the woman movement
is obvious. 1t is not merely a
pithy issue. of accidental injustice
to be snatched up for effect.
The double standard in morals
is a piece Of social legislation,
logical from the assumption OF
woman's inferior place in society.
That point established, masculine
superiority makes laws to suit
itself and men see to It that they
do not bear too heavily on them
selves.
On the other side, women &C
cepting the claims of the highest
morality upon women, vigorously
execute the penalty against fe-
male unchastity and thus are
forced to play directly into the
hands of a gross injustice.
But there is a growing sense in
women that the double standard
Of morals is an outrage against
righteousness. They see that it
only encourages the rapacity of
men, and therefore diminishes
the moral security of women.
The consideration Of eternal
rightness. the demand of truth.
the integrity of moral law is also
boring its way to the quick Of
woman's conscience.

OF Selma Peterson, nineteen-year-old
girl employed in a clothing factory
who committed suicide after she had
lived for six months on meals which
food experts had said were sufficient

her weekly expenditures showing
that meals, room rent, car fare and
laundry took $7.25 of her $S wages
There were entries which stated that
her daily diet consisted of the follow

Still Expect to Gain Technical Vic

the Objections Made Against the
Articles of impeachment.

Albany, n. Y, Sept. 22.-The physi
cal condition of William Sulzer. inn
peached governor of the state, is
causing aOrry. He is probably nearer
complste breakdown. than ever be
fore in ~ political career.
Despite the reassuring declarations
of those closest to him and the indig.
nant statements of his intimates that
he never was in as good shape it de-
velcped that he is really far from a

He is not under the care of a physi.
clan, but has been persuaded to re.
main quietly at the Peoples House
under the watchful eye of Mrs. Sulzer.
When his attorneys have exhausted
all the technicalties through which
they have faint hope of crushing the
case against him, Sulzer may come to
the impeachment court in person and
dramatically become the chief figure
of his own trial. But if he should do
this 1t would be against the earnest
protests of his chief counsel

consultation here, while most of the
prosecutors had gone back home

are hopeful of lining up the majority

CLOSE STUDY OF MEASURE
Tariff Bill Being Gone Over Thor
oughly TO Determine Whether II
Will Produce Sufficient Revenue foe
Government Needs.

Washington, Sept 22-The tariff
conference committee has voted to
leave bananas on the free list After
a long controversy in which the in
fiuence of President Wilson was
thrown in favor of the continued free
importation of the fruit the senate
conferees receded from their amend
ment. The senate eonferees also gave
way to the duty on lemons, lines,
grape fruit and similar fruits, leaving
the rates as fixed by the house, based
on the measurements of packages.
A critical study of the Underwood
Simmons tariff bill to determine
whether it will produce enough rev.
enue for governmental needs was
still under way when the tariff confer.
ence committee resumed work. Re-
ductions by the senate have in many
instances been opposed by the house
conferees on the ground that they
would cut the revenues beyond the
margin of safety.

conferees has announced that the bill
would amply meet the revenue needs
of the nation. Some of the more i'm
portant disputes, however, are ON ar
ticles on which house members fear
reduction of rates will mean too
much loss of revenue.
Supporters of the demand for free
importation of works of art expressed
great satisfaction over the decision
of the conference committee to re-
move all restrictions against free i'm
portation. Under the new agreement
all restrictions will be removed except
that discretionary power will be left
with the secretary of the treasury to
determine the value of importations
as works of art"
