RAPS WILSON'S HISTORY . OF AMERICAN PEOPLE
Scarcely Mention of Women Can Be Found in It, Say Mrs. Beard.

Baltimore. Md, Nov. 1s.-Presenta- ton and discussion of com mittee reports on wide range of subjects pertaining to mu- nicipal government occupied the at tention of the delegates to the twenty second annual conference of the Ma tional Municipal league here today. Mrs. Charles A. Beard of New York, who delivered an address. on Woman Work For the City, de- clared that if a visitor from Mars were to read President Wilson's five volume history of the American peo- ple,' it would imagine that there had been no women in this part of the universe from the landing of the Pilgrims to the present day, for scarcely a mention of women can be found in all the hundreds of pages
 Knell of That Sort Rung.
 Mrs. Beard believed the knell of Women were now studying history for themselves.
 Mrs. Beard outlined the wide range of women's activities, particularly in civic work-all the way from plant ing window flower boxes to assump- tion of the judicial ermine.''
 "It is a matter of common knowl- edge,'' she declared, that many a municipal politician in office owes the success of his technical administra- tion to the efficacy of a woman un- der-secretary.'
 Women Demanding Ballot.
 It was significant, she continued, that a great majority of the leaders in WOmen's work in municipalities were no longer content to stand deprived of their political functions. and are demanding the ballot After failing to arouse men to the sense of their responsibilities, she said, women had come to accept the philosophy: If you want a thing we'll done, do it yourself

WITHIN THE FIVE PER CENT.

The Marshalltown Times Repub-
lican tries to reason that taxes amount
ing to So are not too high for a
$4,000 residence property in Marshall
town-this in defense of Governor

crat.
The Democrat is edited with more
than average intelligence hence the
above error is not due to any misun-
Outstanding. The T.-R. showed that
the owner of $4,000 residence in Mar
shalltown paid this year sa2 for all OF
his taxes. $3.50 of which was all that
was collected for all state purposes.

paper knows that governor does not

A RETURN TO sAvAcERy.

1t is not only the people of christian
nations. but the half civilized and semi
barbarous are noticing and commenting
on the outbreak Of savagery in the
present big war in Europe. Several
hundred years ago. by agreement
among the leading nations of the world
the use of Greek fire in war times was
omitted and condemned. Today these
contestants are using shells filled or
partially so, with kerosene oil which
ignites at the instant the shell ex-
plodes.
Again it is not in the memory of man
or history fails to mention the time
when at least the pretense of sparin1
the lives of women and children, was
not one of the observances of war To-
day these waring nations are dropping
bombs into large cities, killing women
and children innocent of any offense.
In some families the children Of good
citizens turn out to be degenerates Of
a low type.
Is il possible that nations are liable
to 4 return to savagery from point OF
high civilization" England. France
and GERMANY arc or we're such civilized
countries. Today Mexico and some
South American republics would hesi-
tate before using loaded Kerosene shells
or dropping bombs to kill women and
children

ANOTHER VINO REFUSES TO "conceoE.' y

The Carroll Herald's assertion that
Mr., Salinger's "squareness' is univers-
ally Conceded" brings protest from
one of the Oldest and best known Of
the retired lawyers and jurists of Iowa.
not only a lawyer but a legal author of
high repute and man familiar with
character and record of the Iowa bar.
Writing to the T.-R from his retire
ment ne says:
Editor T.-R.: ''Of all sad words By

You know a little nonsense. espe-

paper in relation to Ben Butler, who
was then candidate for governor Of
Massachusetts. 1t was caught up and
went the rounds OF the papers in
Massachusetts and doubtless cost Ben
many votes and he was defeated.

FUSS FOR FACTS.

The Anti-Saloon League reported
that Clarke had never signed a saloon
petition while Hamilton had signed
several and owned building occupied
by saloon.
The T.-R. published the leagues re-
port.
The Cedar Rapids Republican accused
the T-R. of publishing 'scurrilous'
report about Mr.. Hamilton.
The T.-R. offered 10 apologize il,
after examining page 80. vol. /. OF the
tax records of Linn county. the Repub-
lican would show the leagues report as
To Hamilton 10 have been untrue.
The Republican replies refusing TO
examine the record or to deny the
facts.

The Republicans answer 10 our re-
quest that it verify or correct the

Prohibition's Nov Ally.

Big business is "the new foe of the
liquor traffic able to deal a staggering
blow says a writer in The Christian
Advocate (Methodist. New York;. who
maintains also that "the day of the
sober workman. hong drawing. is here"
Manufacturers can not be expected to
Indemnify employees injured in their
plants. We read. II the accident is due
to the semi-sober condition of the
worker Consequently when. as is the
case in New York state, q workman'e
compensation law provides that en-
ployers shall insure their employees
against death and injury. the employer
rightly insists that none Of his men
shall drink Intoxicating beverages.

known to proceed largely from the

he goes on to say that merely on the
ground Of efficiency, employers are en-
couraging the workers in various ways
to leave drink alone. What is more
interesting, perhaps, to believers in
prohibition is the fact that
The man who thinks more of his
job than he does OF his drink has the

There was no compulsion about 1t, but

The manager OF the plant says that 1t

THE BUSY PRESS AGENT.

Newspapers are bothered more
nowadays in dealing with the politi-

When the press agent comes around,
however, with his good political

puzzling proposition.
Every political party nowadays
maintains a publicity bureau. Selfish

bureau is to secure free advertising
