T. P.'s Weekly: Senator Stone of
Missouri is a lover of. coffee. and un-
less 1t is both strong and good the
waiter at restaurant or hotel soon
hears from him. Recently he took a
little trip to Ration Rouge and went
into a restaurant for dinner. On rails
ing his cup to his lips he made a wry
face and then beckoned to the pro-
prietor.
What do o call this stuff?" he
asked.
"Coffeel" meekly replied the man,
somewhat surprised.
"Coffee!" repeated Stone with scorn.
II could put a coffee bean into my
mouth, dive into the Mississippi river
from the enc of this street swim way
up to Vicksburg, and I'll guarantees
that any one could bail up much bet
ter coffee than this over the entire
route!"

The EVOLUTION Of car Fara.

Life: Car fare is something YOU
hand indirectly to a group OF gentle-
men to manipulate the stock OF q COM
pany that is paying on the instaIlment
plan for the car which you buy the
privilege of entering.
The process Is simple. First, as a
citizen, you vote to elect to once a
man who votes to sell the car fare
privilege to others, who in turn. votes
to water the stock for the benefit OF
certain insiders. Second, as a passen-
ger, you pay twice as much as the
service lis worth, to provide enough
money to pay interest on the stocks
and bonds watered beyond the labor
spent on the road. Third, YOU stand
up while doing It.
IT'S a game of uplift: Al putup,
standup and a holdup.

Census ReyeIations About women.

BY the 1910 census there are over
8,000,0 900 women in the United States
engaged in gainful occupations as
against about 5000, 900 ten years ago.
There are about $4,000. 900 adult women
in the country, so approximately one
third of the women are direct earn
ers. OF the t~wo-thirds a.. large pro-
portion ESTIMATED are from nine-
tenths to ffteen-sixteenths) persue the
ungainful occupation of performing
household service for their families.
The idle women, who are not directly
productive, are therefore relatively
few.
Even a superficial consideration of
such figures must point to the political
recognition of these millions Of women,
who for. the most part. still have no
direct power for controlling the iegis-
lation that determines their working
conditions.
