Prejudice Versus Progress.

There was once an old Fossil who said:
"Woman's sphere is within the home
stead;
The lone wife and mother :
Will long for no other
But to keep US well clothed and well fed.
'tNow. the movement to give the fran
chise
To the woman is very unwise;
Twill mean devastation
To home and to nation
The sex will lose charm in our eyes.
Hear, now, the Progressive Young Lad
Who calls this old Fossil Man ''Dad:"
Says he "Since tits mother

SALEM PEOPLE BEGIN
SEARCHING FOR DEAD
Relief Committee During Its
First Day Received Sum Of
S32,970 in Cash.

SALEM. Mass, June H.-salem today
began the search for her dead.
The great welt which had been laid
crescent-shape across the fair Puritan
city by the second worst fire in New
f.ngland's history had cooled sufficient
ly by this morning 10 allow eNamina-
ton of the devastation. Searchers. held
aghest by the thousands Of gaunt Chin
ney and charred three trunks which
alone stood where only two days ago
was a city. made their way amongst
piles Of crumplei brick and catacomos
of gaping cellars.
Perhaps the most extraord' nary part
of this conflagration is that only six
are so far reported dead. In some al
most miraculous way the sick, crippled.
and infirm seem TO have saved them
selves from the fire as it jumped first
one way. then another. at the direction
OF the wind.
Yet the memory Of the Chelsea hor-
ror still lives here, and the searchers
who went among the ruins today recall
that II was not for weeks aftsrward
that the last bodies were taken out.
Meanwhile the work of relief. 50 ef-
ficiently begun yesterday, tended to
round itself out TO completion today.
Already several Mushroom cities. white
with militia tents. ranged with military
precision. have sprung UP to care for
nearly all of the 15.0Oo homeless who
could not find refuge with friends or
relatives. Red Cross hospitals. Saliva
tion Army relief stations bread lines
and distributing centers for clothes,
money, and other supplies dot the city
at all central points.
Old Puritan Salem, which stands un-
scathed from the worst disaster In her
history since Roger Conant first set
tied there in 1876. has turned to help
the newer Salem of French-Canadians
and Polish, who were burned out both
of homes and employment. The citi-
Zens' relief committee during its first
day received $S2,a7V in cash and many
other gifts. State and Nation have
turned to with unstinted generosity.
Among the first to contribute was
San Francisco, still mindful Of the hor-
ror of her own fire. The Boston re-
was flooded with subscriptions. run
ming over $4,000 not to mention tons Of
bread and food and carloads Of sup
plies.
The biggest ray OF light in the pres
ent disaster Is thnt the Naumkeag mills
which employ 1900 persons. and are
said to have suffered s.. .5Oo,yo loss are
TO be rebuilt Immediately. This in time
will care for many Of the 5000 workless,
while many are expected to find I'm
mediate employment in the work Of re-
construction.
The total property loss Is set at $12,-
000,n0 and the insurance company loss
at SO. 100000 in today's Standard, the
weekly insurance magazine.

fire. There has been confusion even
panic, but not the slightest sugges-
