Tests of True Greatness.

Eccentrcity seldom makes man great,
though great men are often eccentric. That
their greatness does not inhere in their eccen-
tricty may be clear when the latter is borrowed
or initiated by another who fails to see that his
idol is great not because. but despite this pecu-
liarity. 'The vulgar thus through imitation
err; as often the learned by being singular"
The vulgar in other words, has been led astray
simply by finding his affinity OF weakness in
an otherwise great character.
He is great" said Emerson who Is what
he is from nature. and who never reminds us OF
others" The mimic, therefore, can never hope
to borrow enough of great mems queer ways to
make him great. He may let the lives of great
men continue to remind him that he may. il he
goes about it in the right way, make his own
life sublime, but that is never done by any sys-
tenn of substitution. Perhaps the common run
of humanity should find satisfaction in the fact
that the great as well as the small have their
weaknesses, but they should avoid, in a laud-
able emulation of the great, confusing the ele-
ments Of strength and weakness.
The lesson might be applied to society as
a whole which reflects the characteristic of the
individuals. The thing we boast most of today is
our advanced state OF civilization. Like an un-
rivaled paragon she stands the beacon OF truth
MAKES OF genius and achievement, she has her
eccentrcities. And today the ehiefest of all
these is being mistaken as one OF her greatest
elements of strength. Some nations are deceiy-
ing themselves by believing that their greatness
lies in their ornaments and their power of de-
structon; that war is the sign aud seal of the
supremacy of the state, but We believe history
win show If the present does not. that a graver
mistake never was made; that war is a vice, not
a virtue OF our civilization.
Nations, like men and boys, go TO fighting
only when they lose control of their better pow
ers. II is a last resort. II they we're strong
enough TO reason out their differences they
would have no occasion for fighting them out.
Gibraltar appears majestic in its power, not be-
cause It has got the better of the sea in a
rough-and-tumble fight to see which shall have
the right-of-way. but because she stands there
peacefully but invincibly, resisting the en-
croaehments OF the mighty waters. One test
OF American greatness is At stake in it's ability
to avoid being drawn in the whirlpool of war

OMAHA, Aug. 22.-To the Editor OF
The Bee: A volume OF the federal census,
issued In July, 1914, contains all the occu-
pational data, and Is another confirmation
OF the marked lowering in the status of
women where they are given the ballot.
Take Colorado and Wyoming, where
women have voted for twenty-one and
forty-four years, and contrast them with
Nebraska and Nevada, states OF equal
density of population, where women do
not vote and here Is what we find
Not only are there more women in
proportion 10 men employed in the suf-
frage states, but more women over a.
years have to earn their own living. Also.
there are more women working AT the
least remunerative kinds of labor, where
women vote. There are nearly three
times the number OF women working as
laborers on farms in Colorado and Wyom-
Ing than are similarly employed in Ne
braska and Nevada, whereas thV-e are
over eight times as many independent
women farmers in the two male suffrage
states Likewise, there are 60 per cent
more families without separate dwellings
in Colorado and Wyoming. than in Ne
brsslIa and Nevada, and the proportion
OF women employed as BARRIERS, watt
resses. etc. Is greater where suffrage
prevails while those employed as must
clans, teachers and saleswomen are more
numerous whore women do not vote"
Another comparison is in marriage and
divorce. with 80 per cent fewer married
women than Nebraska, Colorado has p
per cent more women divorced. while even
male suffrage Nevada, with Reno the
talk Of the world. has 20 per cent fewer
divorced women than Wyoming. after two
generations Of woman suffrage"
