explanation of tho gradual rcversion

The Country Thinking.

Tho country has done n good deal
OF thinking about this coal strike dur
ing the past ten days. II seems to
have shocked the nation into thought
Nothing is easier than TO raise II hull

allowed TO happen. such as. by way
OF illustration. the Iroquois theatre
fire in Chicago, the Triangle factory
holocaust in New York, the sinking
of the Titanic. or the massacre at
Ludlow. Nearly everybody. however.
is content with futile emotions OF sor-
row. littlo wearing of sackcloth
and ashes. n few foolish tears
We hope that the victims OF the
strike Will not be allowed to die In
1ain. Since they have been sacrificed,
ISN'T 1t the duty Of all good citizens
20 see that the conditions which led
20 their taking off be forever changed?
Hasn't the suffering been bitter
enough to justify honest construction
which will look frankly at facts and

anthropist and apostle of peace. TO.
make the sweeping assertion that all
women arc angels. The declaration
was drawn from him by the appear
ancc in one OF his audiences of many
young women dressed in white and

thought only young women dressed
in white are angels. itc broadcned
his assertion by including the widows
and wives OF pensioners, whom he de-
clarcd 10 be angels in every sense of
the word, and this he amended and
broadcned to include all women.
All women being angels, it follows
that there are white angels and black
angels. red. yellow ana brown angels.
and that wherever there lis II woman,
in any place in the world, there is
an angel 1t follows also, that there
are angels in hobble gowns and slit
skirts, as well rs angels in white at
tire and flowing drapcries; that there
are angels in the kitchen az we'll as In
the Darlor, and at the sewing ma
chine as we'll as at the piano. Women,
of course, are tickled all TO pieces by
Mr.. Carnegie's declaration that all OF
them arc angels, for there has been
n moro or less general belief that all
angels are of tho masculine gender.
