A progressive movement always
meets with opposition
No matter what it's character
And the eight hour law for women
is no exception to the rule.
Local employers have been quoted
in the public prints 10 the effect that
working girls" don't want it,
1t has been stated that the girls
themselves have so expressed it di-
rect.
ers is true enough.
Girls who have to make their living
and are dependent upon the whims of
an employer would naturally say, if
asked by the latter. that the present
state of affairs suited them we'll
enough, or eyade a direct answer
Why?
For fear, possibly. of losing their
jobs
And for other reasons of policy.
Some have been quoted as saying
they would prefer nine hour work
ing day with a Saturday half holiday.
But this is provided for in the pro-
posed law.
That is, the law has been SO amend
ed that it covers provisions of this
and kindred character.
So that this statement would mean
nothing in particular.
The truth is that, if poll were
taken, very few girls or women would
be found to vote against the eight
hour law.
Eight hours, as has been stated. is
long enough for anybody to work at
anything.
The labor unions recognize this.
And their eight hour propa ganda is
cal reasons.
An individuals efficiency is equal
to his physical endurance.
A man in good condition can do
twice the effective work in eight hours
that one unfit physically can do in
ten or twelve.
An employers output may. there
fore, be increased or made more val
liable by the adoption of the eight
hour system.
Legislation governing working sche
dulles will continue to be enacted
Or attempts in that direction made.
Society is evoluting toward a diff
ferent ideal than set by industrialism
1t is beginning to see the value OF
leisure to humanity.
1t is cropping toward a readjustment
of social values.
It's efforts result, of course, in chaos
and ENHANCEMENT.
But it is all moving in the right di
rection.
And the end will be an equilibrium
that is not now possible to imagine.
The world has see-sawed back and
forth, the pendulum has swung from
one extreme to the other-but bal
ance has never been hit.
And never will be hit under pres
ent conditions.
And only when the spirit of Christ
prevails will the balance be struck.
Humanity has been long in coming
to this realization. Long in seeing
that the philosophy of the one Perfect
its activities.
We have had e.clesiasticism, we
have had puritanism, we have haC
! agnosticism-and other fermenting.

spiritual manifestation and religious
adjustment.
| But we have never had Christianity
There is thing we call Christian

1t is supposed to govern the nationa
and racial activities Of the civilized
world.
What is, also termed "civilized."
1t dates from the foundation of the

DEER AND BULLETS.
Serious and Ugly Wounds From Which
tho Animals Recover.


tho Animals Recover.
"If all deer that are wounded in the
course of the hunting season and sue
coed in getting out of the way of the
hunter should wander away and die
the woods would contain many more
dead deer than are taken away" said
an old hunter But all Of them do
not wander off and die a loss to the
hunter.
Deer have great recuperative pow
ers. 1t is no sign that deer is DOOM
ed to go off and die because it is bad
ly wounded. l have killed many
deer that gave evidence of having
been so severely wounded that its hav
ing survived to take the range again
seemed almost miraculous.
II once shot and killed buck that
had rife bullet encysted near the
skin of the left shoulder. but there WAS
no wound on the outside Of the skin
to show that it had entered the deer
there. Investigation showed q wound,
long healed. near the top of the right
shoulder. Enthusiastically made by that
rifle bullet. which must have passed
clear through the deer to the left shoul-
der, where it's speed was spent and it
lodged just under the skin.
Besides that severe wound that deer
had been pretty well filed some time
or other by buckshot. for l took out
nine from one side of him. where they
had broken several of his ribs. These
two ugly wounds had been inflicted at
different times. and in spite of them
he was in splendid condition and l
had to give him two shots from a
Winchester before 1 stopped him.

The whole social fabric will be ad-

As long as they continue in their

The church has little effect nova

That is that symbolized thing We
call the church"
The Roman Catholic church perhaps
comes nearer realizing a r:ain relig-
ious ideal than any other.
But the sects are an absurdity.
And the whole religious scheme OF
things-this thing called Christianity
will have to be permeated with the
spirit and philosophy of Christ before
positive spiritual progress will be
made by humanity.
What's this got TO do with the
eight hour law" inquired the man at
the next desk
Nothing at all-or everything. as
YOU may happen TO look at it," replied
the other person.
