REAL OBJECT OF FEMINlsM
Men in the Business Of Life,
sage Writer.

To meet life undaunted; to labor,
to succeed or to fall, as human indi-
viduals, not by men; to seek their
own success in self-chosen, appropri-
ate paths unhampered by laws OF
conventions from which men are ex-
empt-these, we take it, constitute
the ultimate object of the revolt Of
the women
And that sums up feminism, con.
sidered.as a great instructive human
movement. 1t is another and a very
great step toward the realization of
human freedom. Freeing the women
follows naturally, and in civiliza-
tons own good time, upon freeing
slaves.
Feminism, then, is in essence and
fact a spiritual attitude. But it fol-
lows as the night the day that, to be
effective, there is involved the power
as well as the principle of freedom.
Women must become the civic and
the social equals of men. 1t makes
little difference whether or not they
shall use this pswer; the fact that
they possess it, rather that they
should not be forbidden its possess
sion, is the magic that will break
the shackles. The object of femi-
nism is to make women stockholders
with men in the business of life

SAVES LIFE BY MARRIAGE
Man Whose Goodness Caused Girls
Collapse Weds Her, and All
Is Happiness.

Miss Mildred c. VOORHEES, and
Earl r. Schaffer were married by the
Rev. J. b. Sweet in the belief that
the young woman's marriage was the
only sure method of restoring her
mental balance and saving her life.
She had been at the point of death
since two weeks ago, when Mr..
Schaffer informed her Of his inten-
ton to break their engagement.
The young woman, who was prom
inent in religious and social work, be-
came unconscious at that time. and
when she was aroused was delirious,
calling constantly for her fance. As
a result the doctors insisted that Mr..
SchaiTer sit constantly by her bed
side in the hope that if she regained
consciousness his presence would re-
store her mind. She became con-
scious about a week ago, and the
sight of Schaffer seemed to restore
her mind. The physicians then an
nounced that the only certain means
Of keeping her from collapsing again
was for him to keep his promise to
marry her. This he did.-Bingham-

Service and the Trade.

Service is the vital force of all bust
ness enterprises. The baker, the ieweler
or the marble man who profits most is
he who serves the best The truth of
the old saying that great oaks from lit
tie acorns grow" can well be applied to
modern business methods. 1t is the lit
tie details that, if properly attended to,
grow into one great result While a
man cannot count his profits in mere fig
ures, still, if he works with the guild
ing idea of service in his mind, he must
win.
Service means to be tactful-to
do things graciously and well. 1t is
clear, clean impression of the ability to
serve that has the greatest weight with
a customer. Every business, every per-
son engaged in it, is liable to criticism
at one time on another. The best of
us are not perfect by any means. We
are apt to be neglectful at times,
thoughtless of the wants of Others. All
OF these acts often interfere with the
perfection of the service.
Cooperation, efficiency, service-these
are powerful trinity that is being in
terpreted more literally as each year
rolls on. We must cooperate, be eff
eient, and offer effective service in order
to hold our relative positions in the bus
mess world. From Granite, Marble and
Bronze.

A GOOD START.

A good start has been made toward
raising the building fund for the City
hospital, as revealed in another column
to-day. and the amount subscribed is
sufficient to lend great encouragement
toward the successful prosecuting of one
of the most important undertakings
ever made in Barre. In other places -
many OF them throughout the country
campaigns of this nature have been
crowned with marked success, even
though the mark aimed at seemed to be
all but unattainable when the work was
instituted. Here in Barre it seemed like
tremendous undertaking to raise the
money needed to realize the conditional
gift of Ira G. Calef of Washington, but
soon after the offer was made quiet
undercurrent of determination was man
ifested among the people of the COM
munty and it has been strengthened
and heartened very greatly since that
time until now the prospects seem bright
that with the hearty cooperation of ell
the people of the community and sur
rounding towns the desired amount viii
be secured. All that remains to be done
is to give hearty cooperation to the
men and women who are to give of their
time and energy in soliciting for the
hospital fund. These solicitors will lot
indulge in any "hold-up" methods but
they will give all chance to subscribe
freely and ungrudgingly toward a fine
purpose. Let's show that the money
can be raised.

OUR WANDERING SECRETARY
OF STATE.

When one of the most important de-
velopments in the strained relations be-
tween the United States and the war
ring Mexicans broke loose on Sunday,
last, the administrators secretary of
state was hundreds of miles away from
Washington delivering lecture for his
own private gain and the conference be-
tween the secretary of state and the
president, which was the natural course
before action of any sort was taken,
had to be postponed until the return of
Mr.. Bryan to Washington from the scene
of his avocation, which was in Spring
field, Mass. 1t is a matter of grow.
ing concern whether the United States
shall permit one of its servants in a
most important position to continue this
sideline occupation and thus TO hamper
and delay the work of the department
of state in a trying time like the pres
ent when relations between the United
States and Mexico are most strained.
Were Secretary Bryan's counsel indis-
pensable to President Wilson, there
would be tremendous clamor against
permitting the secretary to absent him
self from Washington in this manner;
but as it is, the public has not been
greatly aroused, feeling confidence that
the president will act calmly and
thoughtfully in any crisis that may
arise. But it is setting bad precedent
to permit an official who ought to be
an important factor in discussion of in
ternational relations to absent himself
from Washington. The eountry's bust
ness is his first duty; all else should be
subordinate. And to permit Secretary
Bryan to subordinate the country's bus.
mess for his lecturing tour is likely to
lead into entanglements with coming Of
fcials of the government, who will feel
themselves free to do as Bryan did in
the year of 1914. Moreover, it is barely
possible that something will arise which
will demand immediate action by the
government. How, then, would it be
possible with the head of the cabinet
separated from his chief by hundreds of
miles with no opportunity for confer
ence2 This laxity with Bryan is leading
the nation into bad ways.

Maine CITY Results.

The half score Maine cities that held
their annual elections last week showed
results--so far as municipal election re-
suits show anything of larger political
significance generally pleasing TO the
Pine Tree Republicans. The net GAIN
among the changes, was strongly to the
Republicans, and tended further to shat
ter the Democrats idea of few years
ago that they could keep their hold on
the Maine cities as long as enforcement
of the prohibitory law is party issue.
Except in single city, Auburn, the Pro.
gressiyes cut no figure whatever. though
they were more or less in evidence all
along the line year ago. The Auburn
result, as year ago, may fairly be con-
sidered purely local manifestation.
The Republicans, on straight party
lines, won back three cities from the
Democrats Bath, Ellsworth and South
Portland--and lost Roekland. The vic
torious Democratic candidate in Rock
land, County Attorney Philip Howard,
now looms as a candidate TO succeed
Congressman MeGillicuddy, whose pop
ularity in the I'd district is plainly on
the wane, both in the coast counties and
in Androscoggin, where he long had an
machine. The defeat of the
Democrats in Lewiston by fusion tick
ticket emphasizes the Democratic split
there and gives the Republicans lot of
cheer in Nelson Dingley's old district,
where Nelson Dingley's former paper,
the Lewiston Journal, has been in recent
years valuable Democratic asset.
In Eastport, where the Progressives
keep up local organization and com
bined openly with the Democrats, the
won easily, as they did
year ago. Another batch OF elections is
coming this week, and there will be, no
doubt, few more interesting changes

ing room should have been provided
with a rope fire escape to be used by
the occupants if their flight from the
building by way of the fire-escapes was
cut off by the flames The story of
the disaster goes on to tell that when
the firemen arrived on the scene people
were jumping from windows to the pave
ment from heights ranging up to the
sixth floor, there being no mention made
of the use of rope fire-escapes, although
it was stated that some Of the occu-
pants spliced bedclothes and used the
fire-escapes to reach the
ground Had each lodging room been
provided with a rope the great loss Of
life might have been ayerted in large
measure. One might think that occu-
pants of building of that height would
demand that their rooms be equipped
with rope fire-escapes, even though law
or ordinance did not require it. But
or not that was to have been
expected prior to the fire, it surely will
be demanded now that such terrible toll
