Mrs. La Toilette argued that women
were as vitality interested in tariff leg
islation as the men and declared that
every important piece of legislation
before congress in the last twenty.

ly.
Miss Helen Varrick Boswell argued
that federal law would be the quick
est and surest way to procure equal

welfare in California.

st. Paul, April 2S.-Ten million dol

year from railroads in addition to
the present gross earnings tax if the
courts sh.lld decide that the stocks
and bonds of other companies owned
by Minnesota corporations are tax

Under legislative resolution passed
at the extra session last June the tax
commission was instructed to ascer-
tain the amount of these holdings and
IN turn 1t has asked the attorney gen.
eral whether an ad valorem tax can
De collected on them. If he is of the
opinion this property is taxable the
matter will be fought out in the
courts.
The Great Northern and Northern
Pacific would be the principal lines af-
fected. Between them they own $685.

panies are Insignificant in comparison
Taxing this at the current ad valorem
rate of per cent would bring in
$lO,OOO,OOO annually. 1t might also be
possible to compel payment of the
tax for three years back, making a
total of S30,00O,0 900.
The attorney general has begun a
study of the authorities, but it will be
some months before he can submit an
opinion. The property involved con-
sists chiefly of the holdings of the

THE THIEF
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.

7 SAW them taking him away;
The old judge sentenced him to-day
Ten years behind the walls of gray.
He did not shudder and implore
AS he had shuddered years before;
He snarled and spat upon the floor.
The prison with its shadows grim
Had been a sort of home for him
Since he was young and starved and slim.
He cursed the great, the roaring town,
Where all he looked for was a frown.
He cursed the hounds who ran him down.
Ten years to mutter in a cell;
Ten years of stripes; ten years of hell
And vet he whispered at is Welt"
Perchance he had an mixing dim
That in some world less gray and grim
Two thieves would intercede for him.

WRITTEN FOR THE GEORGIAN
By REV. DR.. JOHN E. WHITE
Pastor Second Baptist Church

BAPTIST Church
is too hopeful to illustrate the
experience of many women who
have not so much as one string
left to play on.
There are thousands and tens
of thousands of women matri-
monially superfiuous. In the State
of Massachusetts alone there are
10000 more women of marriage
able age than men.
In the strange mix-up we call
Society there are thousands and
tens of thousands Of women dis
appointed of girlish ambitions
in the misadventures Of love.
They may have homes for shell
ter, but a woman wants more
than a home.
Why Women Work.
A house is not shelter enough
for a woman's life. Outlines she
has not so much as the shelter
of home, and there is the world.
Every fiber of her being chal-
lenges 1t for chance to wreak
her life upon it and win its
guerdon- charm against pathetic
uselessness.
Now, brave gentlemen, smash
your fists on the table and de-
nounce the woman movement
which voices the resolution to
make it fair for THE Woman
With Empty Hands" to vent her
life outside the traditional wom-
ans sphere.
The entrance of great multi
tudes Of women into the work
ing world. the educational world,
the world of art and literature
has been the relief of the enor-
nous pressure of that resolution.
1t IS a sign-but only one-of the
modern woman movement.
Who supposes that the streets
of our cities are full OF women
going to stores and offices and
factories unless there were some
driving necessity in it. Tho
necessity is not always the need
for money only, but the deeper
passion of women for the full
fllment of their lives in useful
labor.
The Cry From Prison.
Woman is by nature an indi-
vidualist. Her primary instincts
are personal. She meets her world
always in terms of you and me
The ideals of personal ministry
primarily determine her satisfac-
tions Of life
A woman's greatest conscious
need is to be needed-to be a
necessity to something
body-a cause-a world. Her
moral selfhood revolts against
isolation. The tendency of civili-
cation more and more to limit
her sphere Of opportunity is in
tensely the explanation of the
woman movement.
Like the walls of the French
prison, which drew together pitt
lessly. the walls of modern life
have narrowed upon woman.
She is making her cry and 1t IL
not unnatural that there should
be a note OF defiance in it, nor
strange that men who do not I'M
derstand should call It unwoman-
ly. The cry is heard. That is i'm
portant.
If you reply that 1.-The Woman
With Empty Hands" may find her
opportunity in the Church, the
answer is. Good-the woman
has a challenge for the Church
also.

A Good Neighbor.

A good neighbor is never jeal-
Gus; he never fawns; he never
flatters; he never envies an
others success he congratulates
him sincerely when happiness and
prosperity are his comrades: he
sympathizes sincerely when trou-
bic and sorrow are at his door,
and he encourages him to live
down error and to start anew
when he has made mistakes.
He makes his neighbor realize
that he is at his command when
needed, uuU ne does not obtrude
himself either in his joys or sor-
rows.
Are you = good neighbour

greatest proofs of unself1sh regard
for him who have previously in
his times of prosperity and pleas
ure beer thorns in his flesh
It is, of course, more admirable
to treat a man kindly who is
down than one who is up, If you
have not nobility enough in your
nature to treat him kindly at all
times, but when you wait to show
your good neighborliness until
disease or death knocks at a
mans door, you are, in a certain
measure. placing yourself with
the birds of prey who follow after
death and disease, and not with
the song birds who sing him awake

The One Woman.

But this broad outlook upon the
subject is precisely the view the
average man, who is in opposi-
tion to the woman movement,
refuses to take.
He thinks he knows all about
women, because he knows some
thing about one woman.
He judges the situation of all
women by the situation of the
one woman whose status is per-
fectly satisfactory to him.
With respect to her. and with
respect to any individual woman
in distress, his sympathy is quick
and sufficient. Given a concrete
case for appeal to him, her COM
plant becomes his complaint.
If she should happen to be his
own daughter who aspires to
large life and usefulness. the plea
is irresistible-she shall have in
the very righteousness of things
the fair field and the free oppor-
tunity to be all that is in her ma
ture to be.
Perhaps then It may appeal to
the average man to consider a
feature of the woman movement
from this lesser standpoint--the
individual fact of "The Woman
With Empty Hands"
