Woman S Proper Place
By DOROTHY DIX.

good business positions and who bring
thelr money home to make an old
mother comfortable and educate
younger brothers and sisters out Of
their places during working hours?
Is the woman who is married to a
man whose health fails out of her
place because she puts her shoulder
to the wheel and helps the domestic
wagon out of the ditch instead of LEI
ting it sink down into the mire?
II you ask my opinion. I think that
every woman who needs money for
herself, or for her family. is exactly
Where she ought to be when she is
earning it by her honest work. If the
men of her family can't support her
there is no reason why she should not
support herself, and help them, too. il
they need 1t. For my part I have
never been able to see why il isn't
just as feminine a thing, and as much
in her line of duty, for a woman to be
prop TO man as it is to be a mill
stone about his neck
Is woman out of her place when she
belongs to clubs? Isn't II woman's
place to add to the sweetness and
light of life, and haven't the women's
clubs done more toward fostering the
higher education, identifying towns,
supporting art galleries and picture
eral esthetic uplift, than all other
causes combined2
Is the woman of wealth, and intelli-
genCe, and leisure out of her place
when she devotes her energies to pub
lie reforms and charities? Where else
would we look for our great philan-
thropies? Who would raise the money
for our hospitals, for our fresh
funds, for our tuberculosis camps, for
our societies for the prevention Of
cruelty to animals? There is not
community in this country that Ia sn't
some old maid or childless widow who
is its good Samaritan, and nobody &C
cuses her of being out of her proper
sphere, except the evildoers on whose
corns she treads.
Out Of Placer
There are those who contend that
woman is out of her proper place
oh, millions Of miles out of it-when
she takes an interest in politics and
wants to vote. Why? Has she not as
much at stake in the country as any
man? Does she not pay as many
taxes? Is she not affected by the laws
Just as men are? If food prices ad-
vance, does not the burden Of making
the family income go further fall
upon her? If the streets are dirty
and the water supply impure, does she
not have to nurse her sick because Of
IT, and if they die, is not her heart
broken over their loss even more than
any mans? How can she be out Of
her place when considering the ques-
lions that are most vital to her?
The truth is, there is no place in all
the wide world that is not woman's
place First at the cradle and last at
the tomb, she pillows mans head in
infancy on her breast, and kisses shut
his eyes when he dies, and there is no
hope no joy, no struggle, no labor, no
victory, no defeat in his life in which
her place is not always by his side.
II is idle to talk about sending
woman back to her place. The earth
is hers, and the fullness thereof, just
as much as it is a mans.

livery few days l get a letter
from some man who emits
wild and heartbroken wall be-
cause. he says, woman has gotten out
of her proper place. Many of these
melancholy gentlemen go so far as to
express the further opinion that II is
the business Of the press to try to
shoe the feminine sex back to where
it belongs.
Speaking for myself, I should glad
ly use what little influence l have
with women in trying to corral them
in their own particular little stOCkade
if I only knew where that sacred spot
was.
What is woman's proper place, any
how? Will some wise brother please
arise in meeting and speak right out
and tell us?
Is woman's proper place the home
None of us deny it. and the great ma
jority of women will answer the call
in person If you ring their front door
bell
A Foolish Waste.
But what about the tens of thou
sands of women who have no home in
which to stay, whom no man asked to
marry them, and who are fated to
never know the cling of little chill
dren's arms about their necks? II is
all right to say. Back to the home for
yours, sister" to the woman who has
got a good husband, and babies, and a
cottage or a fiat of her own, but how
are you going to keep women in the
domestic sphere who have neither
kitchen, nor nursery nor a man Of
their own? I give it up.
Is the woman who paints pictures
writes acts pf
place? l take it that when the good
God put talent into a woman's head
that He knew what He was about
and that He intended her to use the
gifts He gave her. Otherwise II would
be a foolish waste of valuable ma
terial.
Certainly we should all be much
poorer if there had been no Rosa
Bonheurs, no George Eliots, no Char
Wards, none Of the thousand delicate
and facile female pens that delight
and entertain us every day Of our
lives
Is Maude Adams out of her sphere
when she makes us cry? Is Rose
Stahl out of her sphere when she
makes laugh? Are Melba and Tet-
razzini and Cavallieri out of their
places when they lift us up to the
seventh heaven with their voices
Yet all of these women occupy con-
spicuous places and are very much in
public.
A Question.
Evidently the men who complain OF
women being out of their proper
places are thinking about the bust
ness women. Is a clever strong,
healthy young girl out of her place
when she goes TO work to support
herself instead of sitting down idly at
home and adding to the burden Of a
poor, weary, hump shouldered old ia
Their. who has toiled like a dray horse
to raise his family and has come al
most to the end of his strength?
Are the girls of family who have

if revision bill passed the senate amid
burst Of applause that swept down
from crowded galleries and found its
echo on the crowded floor of the SEN
ate.
It's passage was attended with sur
prises in the final moments of the
voting, when Senator LaFollette, Re-
publican, cast his vote with the Dem
ocrats, and was joined a few moments
later by Senator Poindexter, Progress
sive.
The Democrats had counted
throughout the long tariff fight upon
losing the votes of Senators Ransdell
and Thornton of Louisiana, Demo-
Gratis, who voted against the bill be-
cause it would put sugar on the free
list
Until the names of Senators LaFol-
lette and Poindexter were actually
called, however, no one knew def
nitely the stand they would take, and
their votes were greeted with enthu-
siastic applause.

President Wilson expressed great

through the finance committee, the
Democratic caucus and the senate,

bill represents an average reduction
of more than per cent. from the

the house, and nearly % per cent
from the rates of the existing law.

MAYOR GAYNQR
DIES ON OCEAN
SEEKING HEALTH, THE END
COMES ON AN OCEAN
LINER
DISAPPOINTMENT POLITICALLY
Fatal Illness Result of Assassn's 2ui-
let Fired Over Three Years
Ago.

New York.-The following radio
gram was received at Crookhayen
from the steamship Baltic:
''To Robert Adamson, Secretary to
Mayor Gaynor, City Hall, New York
City: Father died Wednesday at one
o'clock. Death due to heart failure.
Notify mother. R. w. GAYNOR."
r. w. Gaynor is Rufus Gaynor, son
Of Mayor Gaynor, who accompanied
his father abroad.
Mayor Gaynor and his son sailed
for Liverpool from this city on board
the White Star Liner Baltic on Thurs
day, September 4.
At that time Mayor Gaynor was
so weak that he could hardly walk
up the gangplank of the ship. Once
on board, he sank down upon couch
and could not speak. He attributed
his trouble to a. recurrence of a
throat ailment induced by the bullet
of an assassin at Hebokens three years
ago.
Mayor Gaynor planned to sail for
home Immediately upon his arrival at
Liverpool, thinking that the voyage
would restore him sufficiently to take
part in the fall campaign.
Mayor Gaynor, who, Immediately
previous to his departure, was nomi-
mated for ,re-election upon an Inde-
pendent ticket. had planned to make
a strenuous campaign this fall.
His death will have considerable
effect upon the political situation in
this city.
At the White Star Line office, it
was said that the Baltic should be
between 800 and 400 miles off the
coast of Ireland.
Crookhaven is on the coast of Ire
land. There is an important wireless
station there. From Crookhaven the
| death message was relayed to New

No Dealings With Her.
WALL STREET TRANSACTIONS

New York. - Governor Sulzer's
transactions in Wall street from June
27, 1910, till they ceased-at least so
far as one firm of brokers was con-
cerned-on July ID last were describ-
ed under oath by Melville D. Fuller,
who said he was Suffers broker, in
a hearing held by the nine impeach-
ment managers appointed by the as
sembly.
Mr.. Fuller, who refused to testify
before the Frawley investigating CON-
mittee concerning certain matters, an
swered all questions. He testified that
Sulzer had paid him $4,000 in per-
son within month and day after
the last election and that he (Fuller)
had had no dealings with Mrs Sui
ger.
According to Fullers' testimony,
Sulzer, while a congressman, opened
an account with his firm, Harris &
Fuller, June 27, 1910. In September
| he, testified Sulzer borrowed $4,000
from the firm, giving as collateral 400
shares of big Four railroad stock
and in November of the same year
Sulzer added some American Smelter
stock to his collateral held by the
brokers.
"Big Four declined from 80 to 81
within a year, Mr.. Fuller continued,
'sbut Mr.. Sulzer bought some more of
the stock and added Southern Pacific
to his holdings
On November 13, 1912, few days
| after he was elected governor, Mr..
Fuller continued, Sulzer walked into
the office of Harris & Fuller with ten
$1,000 bills in his hand. These he
paid on his account, his Indebtedness,
| owing to other transactions, having
increased to $5O,912. On December 6
Mr.. Fuller said the governor-elect paid
| in person $4,000 more in cash on his
account.

TORPEDO BOAT ExpLoDEs
Two Killed, Three Wounded, on u
S. S. Craven When Boiler Bursts.


Savannah, Ga.-A boiler explosion
on the United States torpedo boat
Craven, off Tybee, resulted in the
death of Chief Water Tender McCaf
fray and Water Tender Milton and
serious injuries to Chief Machinist's
Mate Swim, Water Tender Laughton
and Oliver Gabbitt. The Craven
was steaming in under a good
head of steam wien the acci-
dent happened. Ensign w. D. Lamont
was on the bridge when he saw steam
shoot up through the matches and
heard the cries of the men in the fire
room, who were being scalded by the
boiling water. The matches were at
once closed and the pumps were set to
work pumping the water out
Wien the matches were opened Wa
ter Tender D. B. Smith went down
at the risk of his life and brought
out the body of McCaffray He was
badly scalded and lived but a short
time. Milton was dead when brought
out
Soon after the explosion the engines
of the Craven ceased working and she
drifted helplessly until the pilot boat
Estill and the tug Cynthia No. 2,
both. of Savannah, went to her assist
ance. McCacray died before the Cra-
ven reached Tybee.

CALL LIND TO MEXlC CAPITAL

and Mexico to Be Resumed.
Mexico City.-The probability that
negotiations between the United
States and Mexico would be resumed
at an early date, was the opinion
expressed at the American embassy,
although Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the
charge d'affaires, was non-committal
as to whether he had been officially
advised of new proposal OF of Wash
ington's determination to make a fur
ther effort at adjustment
It is significant, however, that he
has advised President Wilson's rep
resentative, Mr.. Lind, who is now at
Vera Cruz, to return as far as Oriza-
ba, about one-third the distance to
the capital, Mr.. Lind seemingly not
wishing to come to the capital until
the preliminaries had reached a stage
where he felt assured his services
could be utilized. Whether Mr.. Lind
will act on this recommendation is
not at present known.

HARRY THAW IS DEPoRTED
Hustled Out of Canada, Thaw Fights

Hustled Out of Canada, Thaw Fights
for Liberty in New Hampshire.
Colebrook, N. Hilary Kendall
Thaw, fugitive from Matteawan, is on
American soil, after one of the most
exciting days in his career.
Thrust unexpectedly over the Cana
dian border, despite the writ of hab-
cas- Corpus demanding his production
before the kings bench in Montreal,
he was for three hours a free man
and during that time drove madly
in an automobile for fifty futile miles
through the hills of Vermont and
New Hampshire. Near noon he ran
into the arms of New Hampshire
sheriff and was brought to Colebrook,
where he retained counsel to resist
extradition.
Thaw's election from Canada began
with the breaking of window pane.
Aroused from his cot in the immigra-
ton detention room at Coaticook and
told he was to be taken across the
border at once, he flew into rage,
picked up a heavy glass tumbler and,
with all his might, hurled it at the
head of the nearest immigration Off
Ger. The official lodged and the tum-
bier crashed through a window and
was smashed on the station platform
below.
Five minutes later Thaw was half
carried, half dragged, down the stairs,
forced into waiting automobile,
wedged between two Dominion police
and whirled toward Norton Mills, VT,
nine miles away. He protested all
along the short trip, but his guards
ignored him At 8:55 he was whisked
past a gray slab marking the boun-
Diary and like a rabbit being released
was set gently down on a bit of open
ground. He whimpered in bewilder-
ment. He looked north, south, east
and west, as if trying to decide which
way to go. Half a dozen idlers step
ped toward him timidly, but none tried
to lay hands on him.

WATER SUPPLY
ABUNDANT FOR
ALL PURPOSES
NO SHORTAGE this SUMMER
Americas Consumes Half Mil.
lion Gallons Daily

While Americus consumes more thai
half million gallons of water daily
about $4,000 gallons upon the aver
age, according to the statement of City
Engineer John B. Ansley, the supply
of aqua pura is more than abundant
and at no time during the recent tor,
rid weather, when the demand was
greatest, was the supply limited in any
degree.
With storage reservoirs holding 475,-
900 gallons always filled to the top
and with several artesian wells con
stantly giving additional supply, tn
city is, indeed, fortunate from a water
standpoint
Nor is there any danger of a dimin-
ution of this supply, which has never
been tested to the limit, because of its
abundance, as is quite apparent. One
we'll alone, of the several owned by the
city, and from which the daily supply
comes in part, would easily afford
practically, all of the artesian water
that would be needed.
This we'll has a flow of $40 gallons
per minute, and is probably the fines
artesian we'll in Georgia. Recently i
was turned into one of the storage res
ervoics, which holds 250,000 gallons
and filled it in less than eight hours
the average flow being about $4,000
gallons an hour, and with no indica
ton of decreased flow.
With this well, in addition to the
several others of less capacity at the
pumping station, to say nothing of the
citys springs, which afford theim am
pie quota of water daily, Americus is
abundantly supplied with this pu g
commodity at all seasons.
