The President Knows Congress

President Wilson has not always been right in his dealings with a recalcitrant congress- but he has been uniformly successful that success has been made take the place of righteousness. He has, We believe been honest, and he appears times to have been foolhardy in his insistence, but it turns out that the president has at all times his strength well the weakness and cow ardce of the majority in congress, and he has known that he could ultimately win whatever was worth winning.
 The democratic majority in congress yielded to the president when they knew that they were yield ing the interests of their constituents in their as- sent to many of the tariff schedules and when they knew that they were proceeding bndly as to the whole bill when they knew that the president did not know what would be the effect the proposed leg islation.
 They also knew that they acting in oppo- siton the sentiment of the American people when they finally surrendered the president the mat ter of the Panama canal tolls. The very reluctance with which many of the democratic members yielded a sufficient number make up majority was despicable. generous and early surrender by them would have led the country assume that they shared the presidents honest view that he right

Now when the president is right and generally regarded by the country right the senate with a strange persistence is withholding confirmat ton of the nations of Jones and Warburg But the recalc- trant senators will yield The president knows them. He foresaw the opposition these nomina- tions before he made them, but he knew that it would be overcome sooner or later.
 Perhaps the president in his message in ascrib ing to MT. Jones angelic characteristics which the modesty of that gentleman compelled him dis avow, erred somewhat, but that mistake, strength ening the hands of the opposition. will make his victory the conspicuous when it is finally won.

No Lonqer a Joke

The women of this country have done very we'll considering the time they have been at it. It seems long time since the Woman's rights movement was begun in America. It has seemed so long since the newspapers and public speakers and legsla- lures have been making joke of equal suffrage that we are inclined to regard the movement as extremely antiquated. But it only sixty-six years ago yesterday, July 19, 1S4S that the first woman's rights convention held in the Metho- dist church at Seneca Falls New York Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott there After a session of two days the Declaration of Womans Rights was issued, the model for it being the Declaration of Independence
 The Declaration" food for the humorists of that and a part of the succeeding generation, but now, sixty-sx years after all the following griev ances complained of then have been removed Colleges and high schools closed women; man monopolizes the remunerative employments; women are not permitted to speak in public; ried women cannot hold property. not entitled 10 their own earnings, cannot conduct a business in their names, cannot make contract will, bring suits in court; nor are they considered competent guardians of their children, and mo- where in the civilized world is woman permitted have her say in government"
 Not only that; there enough American women voting. theoretically determine the cleo tion of president of the United States. In ten states women have been granted full suffrage, and before the next presidential election it will be tendd to them in many othr states The doctrine of wOmen's rights has extended from that little Methodist church all the world The question has been presented every national legislative body in the world except that of Turkey. Women's rights is no longer joke.

CHEAP CHINESE EGGS

The production of chickens and eggs in Shan tung is a business in which anyone engages to the exclusion of other work. The millions of eggs which produced daily in this province are the collections of a dozen less from each of the numerous number of households contributing to the general supply The eggs best collected at the markets held intervals of every five days throughout the town of the province. Generally the women in the households go to these markets there to dispose of the five to fifteen eggs which the household has place the market. Generally speaking the Chinese family is too poor use these eggs for home consumption, so that the vast major ity of eggs produced in the country find their way into the cities for consumption there by the albumen factories.
 With the introduction of railways into Snan- tung the organization of cold storage facilities TOT the shipment of foodstuffs abroad and the erection of factories for drying condensing for for eign consumption, prices have risen enormously. Fifteen years ago $1 United States currency pur- chased about 900 eggs The lowest price, or rather at that season the year when are most pien- tifu is now 360 for $1 United States currency Up- ward of 100000 eggs day now being shipped from Shantung under cold storage for consumption abroad. They packed in boxes about the size of a kerosene box. 800 eggs to a box, with straw filling. They shipped in carload lots, 5SO boxes a carload and loaded the steamers at Tslng- tau or Pukow being carefully repacked before be- ing put on board the steamer.

Wheat
By WALT MASON

On breezy western prairie. on fertile northern plain the wheat is reaped and nary farmer should complain. We have kind natures bounty, for which we long did yearn, and every blooming county has stacks of wheat to burn There's wheat in and wagon, there's wheat in barn and shed; and every one is braggin'-if not, he should be dead There's wheat in bins and barrels, there's wheat in stacks, afied is there a gent who quarrels with such a noble yield? The farmers joyous slogans should perforate air for wheat is in his brogans, and wheat is in his hair; and wheat is all around him each sackful means scad; and yet, alas, confound him. the husbandman seems sad!

If only of credit be considered, the commission might generously let it go the county authorities But for all the credit that is surrender ed equal volume of odium will attach the commission.
 It is certain that gambling will be stopped The open places and the places will be raded by somebody, officers of the city the county. Fail of the commission act will therefore not save gambling So the commission may well make effort to itself

The Second Candle

The Second Candle of Journalism was the subject of address by Richard H. Waldo, business manager the Good Housekeeping Magazine at the Kansas Newspaper Week of the University of Kansas recently. The title of the address sug- gested by sentence in of James Lane Aliens stories when he speaks of who fin time need, grope within themselves for some second candle and become ilumined through and through"
 MT.

Many newspapers have already found and lighted the second candle but it's feeble rays have yet dis closed all the defects which must be removed to make the newspaper 100 per efficiency They be further benefited and their adver- tisers their readers be further benefited.
 Circulation is thing, but not all.

 Mir Waldo illustrated the result of this canvass by saying that if he engaged in business vis ited every day by 100000 people, and if less than 50O00 took the trouble to look around, and if con- sderably less than half of them bought anything, and if a considerable number expected to get cheated if they bought, there must be something wrong with the stock, which he would remedy by throwing out part of it.

Summer manners.

Johnstone Frewen. the well-known
after-dinner speaker, said at a ban
quet in Pittsburgh:
Summer is coming again. Summer
manners, especially at the seaside, are
dreadfully free and easy. But what
will they be this summer, with the
increased daring Of the frocks and the
increased popularity Of the terrible
South American dances?

WOMEN OF MIDDLE AGES
Records Show They Had Many PrIvL
leges and Liberties Not Enjoyed
Since Then.

Women In England have always
shared In the Industrial life Of the ma
ton. Curiously enough statute of 1868
that ordered men to keep to one trade
left women free to practise as many
as they chose
In few instances, at least, women
in the later middle ages discharged
duties and held offices that do not fall
to their lot nowadays. There are al
lusions to women burgesses in the rec
ords OF London and other towns, and II
women married aliens they could nat
uralize them.
Women did not shrink from engag-
ing In foreign commerce. They ex-
ported goods to France, Spain and 9TH
er countries. A widow, Margery Rus
sell of Coventry, is mentioned in no
less than three different existing docu-
ments. Her business must have been
on. a fairly large scale, for she was
robbed of merchandise worth $4,000
by some men of Santander, in Spain.
In order to recoup herself for her
losses she obtained letters of marque
that empowered her to seize the goods
belonging to countrymen of the Offend
ers.
Margery apparently took more than
was due her. for two Spanish mer-
chants lodged complaints against her.
She was ordered to restore both ships,
but one of the Spaniards declared that
she had refused to do SO, although he
had a commission directed to the ex.
chequer. If Dame Margery Russell
was type, women traders of the mid
die ages were we'll able to look after
themselves.-Mr. A. Abram, In Eng
lish Life and Manners In the Later

A few hours later, however, 1t was
discovered the child was missing and
diligent search failed to locate him.
The alarm was given and neighbors
were called in to assist.
The search continued three days.
the little fellow being found over three
miles from home, apparently little the
worse for his stay of three days and
two nights In the woods. The country
over which he had strayed was rough
and hilly, and how he lived through
these three days and two nights with
out food and shelter, and withstood a
rain that fell is the wonder OF the
neighborhood. When discovered Ger.
