COUNTRY WORK SAFEST.

Amember of the Missouri senate
wage investigation committee asked
a witness why she did not seek work
in the country, where she could earn
from five to seven dollars per week.
He was told that she had come from
the country and had left there because
she could only earn from SO to rs cents
per week
The story is not creditable. So far
as the Star-Mirror knows the common
wage nowadays for girls working on
farm is five dollars per week, and
we have known women throwing up
good farm position because these
wages were not increased at harvest
time. We do not believe that Missouri
is SO far behind the northwest.
But there are various reasons why
girls prefer life in town to life on
farm. One is that farm life, especial
ly in the kitchen, is lonely. There is
not much company for the hired girl"
even in her few leisure hours. Again,

carnage and the bravery of American
soldiers were recountcd here today
when veterans of the battle above

mountain met here in the greatest re-
union of blue and gray since the
scars of the civil war were healed.
Joining with the veterans of both
sides who fought on Lookout noun
tain were the bent old soldiers who
fought at Chickamauga where, accor-
ding to historians the percentage Of
loss on both sides exceeded the per-
centage of loss in any other battle
in history. Twelve thousand tents

European Tour for Debs.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Mtg 27.-Eu-
gene V. Debs, socialist candidate for
president of the United States, today
announced positively that he will at
tend the international Socialist con-
gress in Vienna in August. 1t will be
Deb's first trip to Europe. The Amer
lean socialist leader said today that
he will tour Australia and New Zea-
land after the Vienna congress adj
journs before returning to this coun-
try for speaking tour that will in
clude every state in the Union. Debs
will make the Australian and New
Zealand tours on formal invitations
from the labor parties of those coun-

al McReynold's order that he was free

franchise introduced. 1t passed its
second reading by a majority OF 100.
But the women were deceived, govern
ment leaders preventing it's third
reading. Next session the same mem
bership defeated it by majority of
IA. The campaign against it had been
sinister and surreptitious. The de-
feat was in the face of absolute
pledges held by the women of 1913 out
of the $40 members Of the commons.
Again came honeyed words and pro-
misses which again were broken.
Would your women put up with such
treatment?
But, after all, what have the
women done but destroy few thou
sand dollars worth of property? No
lives have been taken, no one injured
physically. They haven't melted to
civil war as Sir Edward Carson and
Bonar Law have done in Ulster. Yet
Carson and Law go free and Mrs.
Pankhurst and her lieutenants are
thrown into jail! The women haven't
organized rebellion or revolution.

the hours for farm work are long.
Where the seasons are short, early
rising is necessary, and often the time
for quitting and for the evening meal
comes only when it is too dark to see
to work. Then washing the dishes
and preparing the early breakfast
have next to be considered. 1t is a
long, long day and few girls care to
undertake it.
But there is much to be said in its
favor. The girl who works in the
country kitchen is reasonably safe
from the many dangers which menace
the village or city worker. There are
no professional Washers to lay in
wait for her free moments.
Again, in the country she is quite
often made one of the family, and is
not considered a servant but rather
valued helper. She receives consid-
GRAFTON and respect from her employ
er's family.
Finally, if a girl desires to provide
for her future she can save far more
in the country than in town. Her
wage is always fully her own, for she
need not spend for board of course,
and she may dress as plainly as she
likes. The great difficulty with living
when working in store
Or factory is the need of dressing
like the other girls" and the seeing
so many tempting things in the show
windows.
Environment, that is the explana
ion of SO many of the evils of the |
world AS the Star-Mirror said the
other day, much good may be accom-
)lished by the minimum wage law,

ion we shall need a generation or so

| for woman's emancipation has gone or
in England. The lack of sincerity Of
! the government leaders toward the
movement was manifested as long age
as 1885, When Gladstone introduced
his bill to give agricultural laborers
the vote, the women were led to be-
| lieve that they would be included in
the measure But at the very last
moment Gladstone let it be known
that if woman suffrage ammend-
ment were brought in it would wreck
the bill, despite the fact that he him
self declared he saw no reason why
women should not have the vote. 1t
was Gladstone, by the way, who once
said, mo great reform has ever been
brought about in this country with
out violence
"The women were grievously dis
appointed, but they continued their
agitation along peaceful lines, raiding
parlor meetings and all that sort OF
thing. No notice was taken of them.
Then, seven years ago, Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst, a great social worker, or
ganized the Women's Political and
Social Union with the avowed object
of introducing militant methods. At
that time the militancy consisted of
sheckling' speakers, including cabinet
something done since ear
lest times throughout England. Forl
doing the same thing the men did
they were cruelty maltreated and
thrown out into the streets. This re-
suited in increased membership.
"As a part of our new militant cam
Daign the women began to send de-
)utations to parliament, another con
;titutional method which had never |
been denied to the men, The Premier
md cabinet members refused to see
hem and generally the police were
called to throw them out and later
even to prevent them from entering
he building. When they persisted in
heir constitutional rights they were
assaulted and hundreds i'm
,risoned But still they were patient.
Tot until after four instances of this
ind did the women, as a protest, be-
in to break the windows. Then the
overnment opened up negotiations. A
ruce was declared and the so-called
bill, granting limited
