While the president is anxious

everything depends On progress of

thinks that if that is disposed of
before the hot summer weather sets

be possible in quick time, provided
Democratic leaders can come to an

it is what he said, that will

A local editorial writer, COM

What Women Can Do.

Women, after all, are the chief
molders of civilization. 1t is the
mans place to supply its mate
rial basis, but it's finest flower
ing is the product of woman's
activities. Rural civilization has
Jagged largely because farm wo-
men, of all classes, have had
least opportunity for united eff
fort, least organization and CO.
operation-and alas! too often,
least education.
Saddest of all is the fact that
the educated woman in the coun-
try. finding conditions in the
community unattractive, has too
often run away from them, to
town instead of setting out to
improve them. has run away
from her God given opportunity
for service Now, of course. one
woman cannot, single-handed,
remake a community, but there
are thousands and thousands of
neighborhoods (perhaps the very
one in which you live, kind read
err in which one earnest, conse-
Grated, tactful woman could rally
her sisters to her and with their
aid literally revolutionize COM
munity life.
For one thing, be sure the wo-
mans club would help get larger
and better schools, for if there
is anything mother is interest
ed in, it is the education of her
children. Then, too, the club
would doubtless work out the
idea of having the school become
a social center-a place for neigh
borhood gatherings, lectures,
debates "a debating club is a
great help to any neighborhood),
entertainments, special meetings
to discuss plans for neighborhood
betterment, local shows for eX-
ibits Of farm crops, woman's
work, the boys corn exhibition,
the girls canning work, etc., etc.
You may be sure. too, that the
women would work for better
roads and rural telephones and
county fairs and better public
health service and school libra
ries and reading rooms and
score of other needed improve
ments that your community may
go without for another genera
ton, if we depend on men alone
to do the job.

to do team work side by side,

cations can do a great deal alone,
but they can do four times more

THE DEPARTMENT STORES
 MENACE BOOK BUSINESS
Book Trust Counsel Argues It is Nec-
 essary to Combine.

Washington, March 7.-The necessi- ty of combinations in this era Of mor- alized competition was the burden of the argument made today before the supreme court of the United States by John G. Milburn on behalf of the American Publishers association and the American Book Sellers association. the o-ca1led Book trust.
 The only way ftn3Oralized competi- tion'' could be attained, MT Milburn told the court, was to allow the exist ence of trade combinations which would lay down rules to prevent the improper things which marked the days before the Standard Oil and To- bacco decisions" He eontended this had been the purpose of the combina- tion of the book publishers, ma gazine publishers and the wholesale and retail book sellers.
 He declared that department stores threatened to ruin the book and maga- ized to prevent it. These stores, he jed to prevent it These stores, he contended. had. seized upon books and marazines for advertising purposss. reducing the price even below cost in order to impress the public with the idea that verything they sold was likewise reduced.
 Wallace MacFarlane, representing a New York department store seeking to break up the combination. contended that the object of the combfnt was not to protect the trade, but to keep up the retail price, so that the publishers could reap more profit at wholesale.

sage of a, currency reform measure at the special session such bill might be whipped into shape in the house while the senate was wrestling with the tariff. This bill could be brought up immediately after congress con- vened in regular session in December.
 The president endorsed the policy of democratic economy favored by Chairman Fitzgerald of the house ap-
 ropriations committee and other leaders.
 May Oppose Glass Legislation.
 His attention was called to the need for the passage of a sundry civil appropriation bill at the special ses- sion. This bill was vetoed by former President Taft because of it's provision practically exen1pting labor unions and farmers organizations from prose cution under the Sherman antitrust law. Friends familiar with the pres1- dents attitude toward kindred queS- tions declared that unless it could be shown that the paragraph to which the former president objected was not class legislation" he would use his influence to prevent such provision being inserted in the new bill.
 Will Appoint Office Holders
 Senators found that MT. Wilson is observing the courtesies usually ex- tended them. He called in several senators and asked if they would ob- ject to several appointments he eX- pected to make. It was pointed out on good authority that President Will son does not intond to turn over to his department chiefs the appointment of federal office holders, particularly to important posts. lis order of Wednesday was made for the purpose of allowing department heads to sift out the applications and present him with one or more suitable candidates Appoi.s tments in practically every case will eventually reach the White House 11n71 a1xvQG ara barred in the preliminary stages.

Murphy wished to pay his respects to the new presi- dent. Mrs. Murphy and their daught- er Congressnen Fitzgerald and Rior- dan, Philip J. Donahue, treasurer of Tannany. John H.
