More Women Marry Than We
Imagine.

In the January Woman's Home,
Companion Ida M. Tarbell writes a
most illuminative and interesting ar
ticle entitled What Women are.
Really Doing" Miss Tarbell takes
| occasion to refute with facts, which
she has gathered by making q care
full study of the Thirteenth Census.
some of the false ideas on the woman
question which are spread by plat
form speakers throughout the coun-
try. The platform" says that less
than half Of the forty-five million
women OF the country marry" Miss
Iarbell answers this allegation with
the following statement of facts:
we consider the sex as whole,
regardless of age, this is true. We
have In the United States now a.
639,9S9 females including all from
one year and under to one hundred
years and over. Fifty-two and seven
tenths per cent of these babes,
maids, and women are single, that
is, literally less than half OF the sex
are married. But drop out those not
yet of manageable age, and you
have a different story. There will, Of
course, be difference Of opinion
about what is marriagea BILE age:
but let us call it nineteen or over. II
we settle on that, we must drop at
once from our estimate something
over twenty million OF the sex. It
puts different complexion at once
on the marriage percentages. As -
fact, seventy per cent OF those who
are fifteen years or, more old marry:
and II you raise the age to- twenty,
80 " per cent marry; to twenty-five, i
S6.7 per cent marry.
But grant these figures to be cor
rect-it is hard, ever for an orator,
to defy 9 census and still the plat
form cries that women don't marry
as they once did The truth il they
marry more freely than they did IL
1890 or 1890. There has been 81.
gain Of nearly two per cent In the
number of marriages Of women over
fifteen in the last twenty years; ana
two per cent, when dealing with near-
.ly thirty millions, is . considerable
number. 2 ss. 81 b F 4

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
By Mabel Horne", County Supt.
SOME THINGS TO BE RENEM-
BERED.

The County Superintendent has no
power to issue permits or certificates
of any kind. The State Educational
Board of Examiners is the only body
authorized to issue Such papers.
Each perso4 teaching in the state
must hold q certificate granted by
the Iowa State Educational Board of
Examiners.
Contracts between teachers and
boards must be signed by the presi-
dent of the board and the teacher and
filed with the secretary before the
opening of school.
1t is illegal for board to pay
salary to a teacher for any time that
he has taught without certificate
or without contract.
A teachers certificate must be
registered each year with the county
superintendent before the opening Of
schools.
The teachers term report to the

Editor Palladium-The liquor forces
of Indiana are trying to defeat the
calling of a constitutional convention.
They are deliberately manufacturing
an issue to befog public opinion and
serve their own selfish interests. AS
matter of fact, there is no liquor ques-
ton involved, nor any other special
interest. The vote in the coming cleo
ton will only determine whether or
not convention shall be held in 1915
composed of delegates selected by non
partisan ballot to revise our present
constitution, or to write a new consti-
tuition, and submit their work back to
the people for approval or rejection.
| This is the sole issue now.
However,, the confirmed reports OF

uting center of certain kinds Of ma

and in other northern cities of Indiana
are handing out samples of this mate
rial from behind the bar. They are al
so circularizing Allen county and, in
fact, all parts of the state, trying to

ment
| The Citizens League of Indiana
has earnestly sought to advance this
movement upon it's own merits outside
of factions and special interests. A
constitutional convention is needed
primarily for the sake of improve
ments in our tax system; in home rule
for cities; in labor reforms; in suffrage
and election, and many other modern
needs which can best be met by new
constitution. In no other way can we
bring our government up to date in all
organic phases. Through constitu
tional convention, all needed improve
ments will be fairly canvassed and
submitted to the people. By this
means the people can determine each
contested issue upon it's own merits
and we believe that the people should
have this opportunity once in sixty
three years.
But the organized liquor traffic pro
poses to stand in the way of this op
portunity, for fear that a constitutional
convention may also take the Liquor
question out of politics and submit i
fairly to the people. This is all :
constitutional convention could posi-
bly, do in reference to the liquor prob
lem. Will any fair-minded citizen sa!

Look To the Stars for Guidance

There remain only the opportunity and duty of

Boss rule of our state and national govern

of all the issues before the people.
The cowardy the Indifferent, the cunning
rulers and those poor souls who early in life al

their favorite of either of the two old line, boss

and doing things because their grandfathers did
them, all these will be found lined up for the
great principles of social, economic and political
justice represented by the Progressive party.
AS stars in the heavens, shining guides of the
road to true and free citizenship are those three
greatest principles the Progressives are battling
for, the initiative, referendum and recall Of all
the things this devoted band is fighting for if it
can obtain but these the fight will have been
