services as constant adviser and
assistant a New York banker,
Sender Jarmulowsky, made her a
full partner in 1899. He had be-
gan life poor and risen to COM
Portable means. He died a few
days ago and his will, which re-
veals the fact OF the agreement Of
1899, relates to more than a half
million dollars, worth of property.
In advisory capacity women
have had hand in the making of
any fortunes. The typical
American business man is pictured
upon the stage, and in popular
fiction, as being absorbed in bust
ness of which his wife is utterly
ignorant. OF course the picture
fairly represents certain proper
ton of business men, but upon the
other hand it is not at all uncom-
mon for men to ask, and consider,
the advice of their wives in bust
ness matters.
The Roman ideal of the wife
was woman whose sphere was
not limited to the home and the
management of servants, bnt one
who, in addition to ability and
willingness to manage home
economically and creditably, pos
sessed aptitude as an adviser of her
husband in business and politics.
The Romans did not minimize the
importance of t h e household
duties, but regarded the manage
ment of the home by the woman
and of business enterprises by the
man as being a fair division of re-
sponsibility and effort. The two
co-operated when not engaged in
the routine of their respective ac-
tivities. The woman advised the
man and, while history does not
say so, doubtless because it goes
without saying, the man advised
the woman as to the general princi-
Piles and policies of successful
housekeeping at period when
housekeeping embraced many
problems of which specialization
has now relieved the home.
If there were available statistics
as to the success and failure of
men whose wives are welcomed
and valued as advisers, and the
successes and failures of men who
leave business at the front door"
it would doubtless be demonstrated
that there is a higher percentage
of success among those who regard
a wife's advice as worth taking.
Surely if there is one right of
woman that ought to be inviolable
it is her right to be advised OF, and
to give advice in, matters concern
ing the welfare and the future OF
herself and her children. There
are many "doll's houses" o
doubt, but they are hardly the
rule. Where they exist the fault
may be that there is a doll in the
house, or that there's a man in the
house who likes to play dolls, but
no matter what the cause of the
situation may be it is hardly
typical.
Woman's sphere has never been
rigidly limited to the home duties
which some suffragettes and many
feminists brush too lightly aside
when considering careers for
women.
Inasmuch as homes must be rup.
and since their establishment and
maintenance constitute the under
lying motive of the greater part of

'IlfE'S A FUNNY
PROPOSITION AFTER ALL"


Did you ever sit and ponder--sit and
wonder-sit and think
Why we're here and what this life is
all about
It's problem that has driven many
brainy men to drink;
W It's the weirdest thing they've tried to
M figure out,
About thousand different theories the
scientists all know,
But never yet have proved reason
why;
With all our thought, and all we're
taught, all we seem to know
We're born and live a while-and then
we die.
REFRAIN:
Lies very funny proposition, after all;
Imagination, jealousy, hypocrisy and
gall.
Three meals day,
whole lot to say;
When You haven't got the coin you are
always in the way.
Ev'ry day we're fighting as we wend our
way along,
And every fellow claims the others in
the wrong.
Hurried and worried,
Until we're buried,
And there's no curtain call.
LIES a very funny proposition, after ALL
When all things are coming easy and
when luck is with man,
Then life to him lis sunshine every
y where;
When the Fates blow rather breezy and
y they quite upset plan,
Then he'll cry Lies burden, hard to
bear.
Though today may be day of smiles,
tomorrow's still in doubt.
What brings me joy may bring you
care and woe.
We're born to die, but don't know why,
nor what's it all about;
The more we try to learn the less we
know.
REFRAIN.
Lies very funny proposition, you can
bet;
And no ones ever solved the probls m
as yet.
Young for day,
Then old and gray.
Like the rose that buds and blooms and
fades and falls away.
Losing health to gain our wealth as
through this dream to tour;
Ev'rything guess, there's nothing
absolutely sure.
Battles exciting,
And Fates we're fighting.
Until the curtains fall.
/Life's very funny proposition, after all.
q George M. Conan.

What the survivors and the chron-

I have read your editorials on the
Hearst-O'DOnneu deal for a Union
Labor Day Edition of the Chicago
American and Examiner, also the ar
ticles by other contributors regard
ing same.
l wish to say in connection with
that deal that the various writer's
have not touched upon a very inter
esting phase Of the present situation
in organized labor circles Of Chicago.
It will be observed that in all of the
defences put up by O'Donnell-Hearst
& Company in regard to said Labor
Day Edition they are eternally harp
ing upon the proposition of arbitra-
ton to settle all labor disputes.
When the proposition was first
placed before the union men of Chi
cagO the claims of O'DOnneu and his
miniOns were that it would give or
ganized labor leaders an opportunity
to place before the public the aims
and objects of labor organizations,
but when the howl of the true union
men of Chicago became so great that
they had to seek some other excuse
for employing a scab paper for the
advertisement of their views the only
refuge which they could find was to
enlarge upon the arbitration plan of
settling disputes. ooh, consistency,
thou are indeed virtue"
When the war between the plumb
ers and the steamftters. was in pro-
gress, only a couple Of years ago,
Simon O'Donnen, Alpine, Enright,
and the balance of his henChmen,
took no stock in arbitration; if they
did their conception of the meaning
of arbitration was fast automobile
and a bunch of sluggers armed in
various manners, generally with six
shooters, moving from building to
building intimidating union men
working on the jobs.

ARTHUR THORP OF THE LATHERS TAKES A
FALL OUT OF EDITOR 81. ODONNELL'S PAPER

Ger, voted unanimously to support
the steamitters in the controversy
until such time as the plumbers con-
sented to arbitration. 1t will be dis
ttnctly remembered by those who
were in a position to observe the
course of events that after this action
by the lathers' organization, who
were practically the only ones sup
porting the steamftters in demand
ing arbitration, that the activities Of
the O'DOnnell, Alpine and Enright
gunner were not as pronounced as
they had been before, the sUppositiOn
being that these thugs did not relish
the idea Of going against bunch of
razOr-sharp Underhills, which are to
be found wherever the lather is.
So much for O'DonneIPs CUFF about
desiring to place an arbitration plan
before the public and the organized
labor forces of Chicago. If he was
honest and sincere in this argument,
even with his past record staring the
public in the face, he at least could
have selected a newspaper which is
not employing scabs in its press
room.
I wish to say farther that in vari-
GUS articles published in The Day
Book stress has been laid upon the
fact that this Labor Day edition deal
was gavelled through the Business
Trades Council. want to say in this
connection that while was not pres

gate to the body, that we have four
as reputable and straightforward I'M

Chicago representing us in that body,
and their report in its entirety fully

have been made in your publication
along that line. All protests by dele
gates from our organization and
from any other organizations on the
floor of the Building Trades Council
