ANew Hotel Fer Nezperee1

This question has for some time
been uppermost In the line of public
improvements at the county seat OF
Lewis county, and on last Friday
night the Commercial club took the
matter under consideration, with the
result that a committee was appointed
to solicit stock subscriptions among
the citizens for a modern brick hotel
building adequate to meet the de-
mands Of the town. This committee
is composed Of w. P. Conger, w.
] Ramey and s. O. TannahilI, and
a. soon as it 10 prepared to report
another meeting of the club will be
called and further action taken to
the end tnas the towns needs in the
hotel line may be met before the
close Of the coming building season.
The need OF q modern hotel here
vas readily conceded BY all, but the
ways and means of getting one seems
to be the sticker. The probabi ity |
of any indivual putting up the build
ing seems to be remote, and Il was
argued that If sum equal TO some
thing like half the cost of the struc-
ture was subscribed by citizens, the
bal snce could be secured. The
question Of location then came up, |,
and il was the general sense of the
meeting that this should be left TO
hose subscribing the majority of the
gtock.
However, In view Of the fact that
his town has always gotten what it
leeded and vent after. II is not be-
vond reason to expect thai In due
ime il will have this hotel and that ,
be same viii be built by the people ,

THE grotesquely tragic thing
about martyrdom is that it
is almost always entirely
unnecessary. The martyr need not
be a martyr if he or she had an
inch of backbone. or thimple-
full of good, hard horse sense,
This is particularly true OF the
domestic martyr who is not a pin
feathered angel, as she is painted
but just plain goose.
The thing that calls forth the
above heartfelt words is the case
Of young friend of mine. rms
girl is the oldest of a large fam
lily, and when her mother died
four years ago, she became the
little house mother to the family.
She was only IS then. She is
but 20 now, at the very age
when a girl should be most care
free and happy, for these few
years are the playtime in the
average womans life, and the
only playtime she ever knows.
Instead of that, this girl has
cooked. and cleaned. and washed,
and mended, and sewed for her
father and four husky brothers
and little sister only year
younger than herself She is the
most industrious little creature
in the world, and the best man
ager and a real genius in one OF
the finest of the arts-cooking.
The father, the four big broth
ers and the sister all go out to
work and earn good salaries, but
the girl who stays at home and
slaves from morning till night to
make the balance of them COM
Portable and give them just the
sort of things they want to eat,
is paid not one cent for her labor.

Imposition on Woman Is

And, above all, she should de-
mand an adequate salary for her
own services.
We talk lot about family az
lection, but as matter of fact
there are no other people in the
world who impose on US so ruth
lessly as our own. 1t is only his
own wife, or daughter, that a man
expects to slave in a kitchen
eight or ten hours day for her
board and whatever clothes he
chooses to give her. Strangers
have some regard for a woman's
individual rights, but if she gets
them in the family circle, she's
got to stand up and fight for
them.
Heretofore women have re-
garded themselves as helpless.
They have felt that they had to
submit to any treatment that
their menkind accorded them.

Men of Family Expect
Elaborate Menus on
penny" Allowances.

Furthermore, the wage earners
of the family have figured down
her housekeeping expenses to the
last possible penny, and she is
not given one cent more than the
actual cost of food and fuel and
rent on which to run the place.
And. as if this wasn't enough
tyranny and stinginess. they COM
plain bitterly when she doesn't set
a tenderloin steak table on stew
meat income, and when it isn't
forthcoming the girl is blamed
for not making one dollar do the
work of five.
Nothing could be grayer or
more forlorn than this little
housewives life. and it offers no
prospect of improvement. She
can never save up any money
because she has none to save.
She can not dress prettily and go
to places of amusement as does
her sister who has her own pay
envelope. She can not even look
forward to marrying, because her
family cannily discharges men
callers. because they don't want
to lose their cook.
Besides which Cinderella in the
kitchen hasn't got as good a
chance as the wicked sister in
the parlor, no matter what the
fairy tales say. So all that this
girl sees in the way Of a future is
shaving for her family until her
brothers and sisters get married
and she is old, and will have TO
go and be a dependent on some
in-aw who doesn't want her.
She's a domestic martyr If
there ever was one, but there
isn't a particle of use in her being
roasted at the stake. She's got
the remedy in her hands if she'll
only use it. So has every other
domestic woman who is misused,
and put upon in her own family.
And the remedy is just to go

Go Out on Strike, Mad
am, and Husband Will
RudelY Awaken.

TO this woman / say also: Go
out on strike, madam. Don't do
another lick of work. Don't turn
another domestic wheel until you
force fair settlement out of your
husband. Just one day OF the
confusion worse COMPOUNDED OF a
home in which nobody has wash
ed the baby or dressed the chill
dren or cleared the table or swept
the floors or provided any food
or done any of the other millions
of things that a housewife at
tends to every day, will convince
husband that the laborer is
worthy of her hire, even if she is
his wife.
So repeat again that there is
no reason for a woman to be a
domestic martyr unless she really
enjoys martyrdom. You can
bring any man to terms by inter
fering with his comfort.
