WILSON WILL. NOT
TAKE ANY SIDES
President Elect Intends to Let Both
Houses Of Congress Settle
Their Own Disputes.


e United Press Leased Wire Service ]
TRENTON Jan. -President-elec-
Wilson's attitude toward the contes,
in both houses of congress over the
adjustment of the Seniority rule" in
the makeup of committees. and in
the settlement. of the contest in the
method of naming the committees and
electing the committee members, is
believed today to be one OF hands
off" Mr.. Wilson appears to feel that
the houses will be organized along
progressive lines under the leadership
OF heir own members without the
necessity for his taking any part in
the contest.
This attitude is indicated In Mr..
Wilson'S statement concerning yester-
days conference with Senators Smith
and Gore, who are leading the flgh.
against the seniority rule in the SEN
ate

The WORKING Girl.

/ Dies Moines Register and Leader:
ITO come to the city with no definite
work assured is madness raised to
the nth power" declares an exchange
!, In writing of the enormous chances
which are run by the young woman
1 who goes to the city for work under
the impression that there will be
plenty of opportunities for those who
are industrious and persevering. This
{! false impression of conditions has led
/ to more tragedies than one could
well imagine.
Every girl who severe home ties
/ and starts into the work of making
| her own way in the world will meet
temptations and pitfalls which are I'M
known in the more secluded experien-
! ces of the home. 1t takes an unusual
amount of pluck and optimism and
the faculty of getting along with peo-
pie to make a success of The venture.
even when a girl has something def
mite in mind. When she launches out
unknowingly into the difficulties which
beset the unemployed, the result Is
pathetic in the extreme.
A city interchurch federation, in
examining the matter came to the con-
clusion that mo young woman who
has not been assured a salary of at
least SIS a week in permanent posi-
ton should come to the city to earn
her livelihood" Ana even this esti-
mate seems to involve a great deal of
risk. The sum of IS week is a
mere pittance to the girl who expects
10 remain long at that wage. It leaves
no margin for illness or accidents
and allows only the barest necessi-
ties. The young woman who under
takes to live on this amount in any
large city will need to deny herself
and to possess the strength OF Will
which makes such denial possible.
The trouble with wage earners
coming to the city from the country
or from small towns is the fact that
they do no. realize what the contin-
ual drain of car fare and increased
expenditure of various sorts will mean
On slender income. Hundreds of
girls flock to Offices and factories and
department stores to toll for bare
slstenance when they might discover
opportunities for earning much more
and saving something as well If they
worked as industriously at some en-
ployment nearer at hand.
The working girl is likely to follow
a heaten track. She is perhaps lack
ing in ingenuity and initiative. But
II she could be persuaded to watch
ou- for the unusual, which is frequent
" obvious. to develop her ability in
modest but original lines Of effort,
and to save and invest in small be
ginntngs of business as a man in the
same position would do her chances
for success might be multiplied and
her tragic failures quite materially
diminished

ALL ROADS LEAD HOME.
From out the valley four roads wind
away
Like pale brown ribbons in grassy
sea.
And one leads south, another north
lies free,
And east and west afar the other
stray.
Which shall follow? East, to the
old home
Where once the hand Of love held
wide the door?
Westward, where still adventure
goes before
And the great prairies welcome feet
that roam?
Shall 90 South. where winter roses
blossom,
And spring usurps all months OF
the bright year?
Or North, where the great pine
trees make music clear
nno INC ionS winters Tope the world
In gloom?
Why should choose? The home my
youth held dear
Is but shell, with strange, I'M
friendly mien;
Less weary hands adventures fields
may CLEAN,
Too far, too strange, the West whose
strength fear.
The South would cloy me with its
changeless sweet:
The North would pierce me with
its icy dart;
Roads wind away: but, oh, fear not,
my heart,
They all return. and here, at home,
they meet
