WHERE CAN A WOMAN GOT

A man can come to town looking for
q lob. If he doesn't get it. and behaves
himself he can lounge on the court
house yard. sit about the pool halls,
If he chooses. take a room at a cheap
hotel and eat at the lunch counters
He can hang around waiting for days
Nobody will bother him. Nobody will
notice him so long as he stays sober
and keeps within bounds of ordinary
behavior
But what of the woman? She cant
lounge on the court house yard. We all
know why. She can scarcely crawl up
on a seat at the lunch counter and
get a sandwich and a cup of coffee
She can take a room at a hotel and
become an object of suspicion to the
proprietor. perhaps to the police. Peo-
pie begin to wonder at once about the
unattached woman. There is de-
mand to know what she is. who she is.
what her business may be. a demand
for endorsement.
1t seems scarcely fair does it? Seems
like a woman should be able to come
to town and seek employment on the
same terms that men do, doesn't it!
Why is 1t that she can not?

Iowa. When . man can leave tie
penitentiary and prove himself entitled
to freedom in the way and after the
manner Of Clarence Skaggs there IL
no place for offended authority to
stand upon a technicality. The mere
fact that the man made good, made
good as any man can be expected to
do, that he could be arrested as an ex-
convict in charge of big business
where large aggregate values passed
thru his hands day after day and that
the employer is anxious to have him
back to take charge of the same stock
despite the record; that a police chief.
prone no doubt as police chiefs are
to doubt and suspicion adds his word
of trust and praise to the endorsement
technical violation of rules. If any man
coming from the shadow of the peni-
tiary can carry his load and make good
as this man seems to have done, let
us cut the cords of technicality and.
bid him go in Gods name and the
name of humanity.
The measure of true mercy is COM
mon sense and common humanity. 1t
would be in line with both to send
Skaggs back to his wife and his en-
ployer.

IF YOU WERE A JUROR?


In one of our large cities a young
man who receives So 4 week as
clerk in a big Office recently welded
young woman who worked in a store.
She knew his income when she mar
ried him. She vowed that she loved
him and that it would be great fun to
go with him into the battle OF poverty
and help him onward and upward.
A month later chap with money
came around He had an auto He
took her riding to gay dinners and
sprightly dances. He bought flowers
and candy for her. And finally per-
suaded her to abandon love in an attic,
with the homely. hard working un-
imaginative clerk, and to travel the
primrose path.
Naturally the husband is at once in
dignant and heartbroken. His first i'm
pulse is to invoke the unwritten law.
But his habit OF mind. due to his kind
of work, is orderly. SO he has taken
his grievance into court. He has sued
the love pirate for $4,000 damages,
valuing at that sum his wife's affec-
tions.
Are the affections of such a woman
worth that mucho If you were juror
sitting on such a case. what would be
your idea of a fitting award?

LET IT ALL COME OF.

The intimation that If the lobby in
vestigation were really thorough it
would not stop without probing into
the labor lobby that is said to have
been as strong and persistent as any
thing the National Manufacturers AS
sociation ever maintained in Washing
ton, ought not to stop with a mere
suggestion
The labor unions owe ii to them
selves TO quiet the allegations made
as to their own activities by insisting
on an investigation that will show
what has really been going on, so that
they may clean their skirts in the fut-
ure, if there is any smudge clingins
to them.
1t is a mistaken idea that the cause
of labor needs the slugger, the gun
man. the dynamiter. or the profes-
sional lobbyist TO advance its inter-
ests 1t can afford to make its fight
IN the open. 1t should have nothing
to conceal. The lobby probe should
not stop at a point which will leave
it open to the charge Of having been
half hearted, one sided and unfinished.
Let all the truth come out.

sehooIhou.e. a. Polling Places.


One good effect Of woman's suffrage
is likely to be the changing in char
acter of some of the polling places Of
Chicago. Women will hardly care to
enter some of the places which have
been used for this purpose.
1t has been suggested by one of the
women's organizations that the school
houses be utilized as polling places.
The idea Is good. II is desirable to
utilize the school buildings as much
as possible In connection with civic
activity and thus to enhance their pub
tic significance.
Mrs. Charlotte Rhodus. who has pre-
pared plans looking toward this end.
would also have school teachers act as
judges and clerks of election, in order
to augment their incomes This IS
hardly so desirable. The women are
hardly as yet quite prepared for this
labor and besides. in our still imper-
feet state of manners. 1t requires even
forcetul authority sometimes in charge
of polling booths. The counting OF
votes also is often a long and arduous
task, far beyond the physical capabi.i-
ty of most women.
But the school house polling place
idea is an excellent one. 1t will dignity
elections. aid the schools and save the
taxpayers money.

tn. Afternoon Dance.

lNnCagO Ir1Dune.J
Mayor Harrison's prohibition OF the
tea dance" may spare us much hys-
teria- New York's devotion to the aft
ernoon tango was symptomatic OF
neurasthenia. AS a symptom possibly
1T ought to have had expression. AT
least 1t produced a reaction in the
philosophic Gaynor. who became per-
suaded that the generation was as
mad as the swine filed with devils and
was headed for the precipice.
The trouble is that the symptom is
more than that 1t is the virus as we'll
and contagious. The tea dance" sins
against the sunlight, il it does nothing
more. 1t is stain on the day. A peo-
pie who give the nights to folly might
yet be sane by day. but when the
idiotic half sister of frivolity begins to
claim day as well as the night, nerves
are getting the upper hand.
The inmates Of an asylum for the in
durable insane might be rational trot-
ting in a restau11nt at 4 o'clock in the
afternoon. but for out patients it Is a
confession of condition.

TARIFF indifference.

A very noticeable change in politics
a. politics is that we refuse to excite
over the tariff Time was when men
ton Of the word was call 20 battle.
We grew excited and began to swing
our arms and speak in a loud voice.
Most Of US knew little or less abou. K
but the voter who could not and did
not grow vociferous over tariff was
considered as more or less unpatriotic
according to the measure of his tndif-
ference.
Now we've quit. You can go from
Dan to Beersheba and not hear a dis
cussion on tariff unless mayhap a
couple Of grayhaired persons get busy
habit. Younger men pass up the dis
cussion- There is no more excitement
over tariff than over the names of
Zebedee's children. The standing Of
the principal clubs is a different thing.
Perhaps 1t is to our national discredit
tina, this is SO, perhaps not. Anyway
we seem to be doing pretty well as it is.
Their is d prevalent impression that
congress, comprised Of members who do
not differ much either as to party or
perspicuity and who must go home to
districts which do not differ greatly
whether they are republican or demo-
cratic or bull moose win pass tariff
laws not calculated TO cast this country
into the NAV of the British lion or any
other ravening animal fabulous or real.
both parties want tariff revisiaon lower
or lowest. Also II is to be noted that
the tariff revisionists in the democratic
party are split very much as those in
the republican party. The inclination
is to let them fight it out in congress
while we keep busy farming and selling
things to one another and keeping up
expenses.
Tariff isn't the red flag 1t used to be.
1t doesn't start the whole herd below
ing and paving the ground. The fact
is that il there Is one thing people are
not paying attention it Is the tariff and
the tariff discussion. Out on the farm
and in the workshops and so forth it
doesn't seem to be much Of an issue
So we are waiting. If the law doesn't
suit US we know what we can do. And
We will do it

This convict, who robbed store and
suffered the penalty broke the rules of
the parole board in going out OF the
man found work hard to get in Iowa
because of his prison record. He went
across the river and found 1t. The big
baker built big bakery and Skaggs

THE LOGICAL CONCLUSION.
[DeS Moines Tribune.l

DeS MONIES lTlDune.J
Thousands of men are travelling all
over Iowa every year and paying
cents a mile for the privilege. The
writer of this article travels over ten
thousand miles a year and it costs him
cents a mile and no rebate. Is the
man who goes to the state fair once a
year and probably never hits the plush
cushions again for another twelve
months, entitled to any reduction in
railroad fare? He Is not.-Jack Dalton
in Manson Democrat.
Let US carry the argument a step
further. Is the man who travels but
once a year and who goes to the Pacific
coast or to Canada. or to Texas. en-
titled to any reduction in railroad fare
He is not
In other words. let the railroads
maintain a consistent 2-cent fare or
let them offer excursion rates into Iowa
as well as out of Iowa.

GET RID OF THE BEE" "
rDes Moines Tribune.l

1t pains the Evening Tribune to see
so many intelligent Iowa newspapers
talking about weed days" and "dra
days" and patent road scrapers. as tho
sudden whoop of enthusiasm and
spasmod1c effort OF some sort would
build and maintain roads.
Good roads are merely a matter OF
hard. persistent work and money, and
nothing else. and the quicker Iowa gets
over the notion OF a road bee" of
some kind the better.
Grading ten miles OF road some
where means nothing: graveling ten
miles Of road somewhere in the old
way means nothing. One county get
ting a patent road machine and using
it one season means nothing.
Let us quit once for all, this bee
notion OF road making.
