Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1913-05-22

Equal suffrage was beaten in the
British parliament 266 to 2l9. For this,
credit is freely bestowed on the militant
s~utfragettes. whose csreer of window
smashing, arson and riot is going from
bad to worse. The recent defeat of
equal suffrage in Michigan is a second
attempt by nearly a hundred thousand
votes. after it had almost been adopted
at the first election, unquestionably is
due to a reflex from the atrocities of the
British suffragettes. Equal suffrage is
right, and will come, but its most zeal
Gus advocates are its greatest stumbling
block.

The Minimum Wage Question.

The Minimum Wage Question.
The question OF a minimum wage for
girl workers is one that is just now
perplexing the country. Social re-
formers" are declaring that the low
wages of women are the primary cause
Of immortality and that the first step
in checking it must come in bringing
economic independence to the girls in
business employments.
The difficulty is in ascertaining just
what wage will bring about this much
to be desired condition Of affairs. One
student of sociology has it that on d
wage Of 50 a week a girl may live de-
Gently and honestly. Others put tho
| figure as high as $12. But. whatever
the truth may be. in it's last analysis
it must resolve itself into a question of
individual character. :
Two or three years ago there was
published a book entitled "One Way
| Out" by an anonymous author. which
purported to give the experiences Of a
young married man. a clerk. who lost
his position and. being unable to Sc
cure another. decided to start at the
bottom as a day laborer and work his
way up if possible. u
The interesting part of the story lies
in the fact that in the work be found
h0 ra1nirnd co a yrnn1y or1 fhN ho11y
goes into great detail to show how on
these wages he supported his wife and
young son in comfort. but not in lux
ury. The wife is represented as q
paragon of prudence and economy, and
specimen menus are given. with the
price paid for the food. to show how
she accomplished this feat in house
keeping. The young man was intelli-
gent and ambitious and before long
succeeded in earning better wages. but
the point is emphasized that if one is
willing to forego much that we are ac-
customed to look upon as necessary.
but that is really unessential. any
healthy young American can forge his
way ahead by manual work. just as
millions Of immigrants are doing.
If the book is a veritable leaf from
life, as it claims to be, it is an interest
ing commentary on the question of a
minimum wage on which a young wo-
man can live and be assured of respect
ability. Here were three who found
life good even upon their meager SO
weekly, and, while. Of course, it would
be a gratifying condition of affairs if
every self supporting woman could re-
ceive this amount or more, it is ride
ulous to assert that her morality is
threatened if she has to live on less.
Poverty cannot break down charac-
ter in a resolute person, and if women
who must sustain themselves look to
some other means than those nearest at
hand they can find a way out, just as
this young man did.

We understand that arrangements are
being made for the state to pay over a
sum-, said to be about $4,000 to the
Bismarck Tribune. Some of this repre-.
sents cuts made in bills presented to the
State Printing Commission in the past
two years-one bill in particular being
that of the Cowan impeachment journal
which was cut about 100000. II the
bill is allowed or a major part of it, it
will take up the deficit which, we under
stand shows up on the books Of the
state, wherein the Tribune has collected
apparently several thousand dollars
more than It's bills called for. And, this
being a business administration, tbs a
consummation devoutly to be wished
for.

There is a inc going the rounds
that the $4,000 appropriated by the
last legislature for the purpose of pay
ing the expenses of those veterans who
desired to attend the big meeting at
Gettysburg, will not be sufficient to pay
even the fare because such a large num-
Der have signited their intention of go.
ing, and that many of those who have
made application to go are not veterans
of the war, but are only veterans in
politics. Does the law provide for a free
for all excursion TO GETTYSBURG? If so
there will be many an old soldier who
will be obliged to remain at home.
