If it be true that a nations best
asset is it's children, then the
statement that 100000 babies
under year old died in the Unit
ed States during 1918 possesses
pathos that is deeply tragic.
Yet this is the fact conveyed in
the first annual report of the
Children'S Bureau in Washing
ton, a branch of the Department
of Labor. This frightful waste
of child life is due, Miss Julia
Lathrop, the chief of the bureau,
declares solely to Individual and
civic neglect. She points out
what such a loss must ultimately
mean in an economic and inustrial
sense, and the further fact that
the conditions which produce
such frightful infant mortality
cannot fail to injure even older
people, and should be regarded
as a national menace. We need
a new crusade to save the child
ren and to bring about such
changes in methods of child
training and in the whole atmos-
phere Of American home life as
will make such a dreadful annual
sacrifice impossible. In the ter
rife rush of mere living, we
think too little of the children.

The proposed amendment to
the constitution giving womenthe
right to vote was defeated in the
senate by the lack of a majority,
although the final count showed
a plurality of one vote in favor
of it. The senators who voted
against it ''had their nerve" to
thus oppose the fair sex. They
are just too mean for anything.
They also showed poor judg-
ment, since it will only prolong
the fight which will eventually
result in victory for woman suf-
frage, and they would be saving
themselves the embarrassment
of defeat later on. We do not
believe that politics would inter-
fere with woman's many other
duties to her home, but there are
certain conditions that would be
much improved by giving her
this right. The best way to de-
eide the question is to give the
amendment a trial. Inasmuch as
it has proven a success so far in
some states, no great crisis that
we can see would be brought
about by passing it.

Chicago faced a new situation.
For the first time in her expert
ence the women voted in the
election this week, and there,was
demand that immoral women
be barred from the polls. Since
a character test is not required
from men who seek to cast their
ballots, it can hardly be applied
to women. Besides, society has
decided that what makes a wo-
man immoral doesn't feaze a

The OverWOrked
Farmers Wife

er's wife on an average old-fash-
ioned farm, in the performance
of days cooking and scrubbing,
lifts a ton of water, thereby los
ing early her girlish complexion
and figure, unquestionably laid
his finger on sore spot in coun-
try life.
What makes the matter worse
is that he proves, in a bulletin is
sued recently by Uncle Samuel,
that an outlay of $3.50 on a scien-
tifc pumping plant would save
all this waste of human energy
and beauty. Just $3.50.
Why does not the man of the
house get an extra hump on him
self and produce this simple lab
or-saver, this insurer of beauty's
pristine bloom?
Well, now, that is an awkward
question to answer. We do not
believe that a man on a farm is
less chlvalrous, less affec ctionate.

habiting a city.
But it has sometimes seemed
