First Great Suffragettte Revolt
(Herbert Quick in St. Paul News.)

! first suffragette movement. Ethnolo
gists have found savage tribes here
and there, the women of which really
are in control. They rule the camp
and the hat. They control their own
marriages and their OWE children,
They can change husbands at will,
and they do it by ejecting the old love
in order that they may be on with the
new.
These conditions indicate that far
back in tribal history a suffragette
! plot has been laid and successfully
| carried out. Sex revolt is not a new
thing. 1t has occurred from time to
time all through human history-us-
ually it has been crushed by fist or
club-but sometimes it has succeeded.
Mrs. Pankhurst and her group
would have q much better chance to
win If they were members of a saw
age tribe, the women of which live
about the huts and tepees while the
men are hunting or fighting. There
about the campfire the dusky PanF
bursts can speak to all the women OF
the nation about the wrongs they suf-
fer at the hands and feet of their bar
barrie spouses. There rebellion may
be organized on a universal scale.
And when all the women join in a
g revolt and persist in it they can
always win. They refuse to cook, or
work, or in any way associate with
men. They take beatings and cat
and-mouse laws and forcible feelings
in the true Pankhurstian way, and, If
they persevere, they always win, The
SUITS are right in their hatred of the
anti-suffs-for the revolt of the wo-
ment needs only to become general to
be universally successful. A sex re-
volt as universal as that of Rameses
or of the savage tribe I have in mind
in mid-Africa would bring every state
legislature together in extra sessions
to pass suffrange laws in a month.

The first suffragette plot in history
according to Professor James Baikie
took place in the reign of King Rame
ses III of Egypt.
The ladies of the harem laid the
plot and rocked Rameses on his
throne. King George V has merely
rocked in his chair-for he has nc
harem whose ladies are SO situated
as to burrow under his throne.
In this respect he has, as yet, an
advantage owe Rameses, whose wo,
men folk bribed court officers and in.
vited the help of the army t o set up
a pretender to the throne.
+ They also tempered with the judges
and not with bombs and hatchets,
but money.
These Egyptian women were much
freer than other women Of the ancient
world, save, perhaps, those of imper-
ial Rome. In both these old civiliza.
tons women occupied a position much
like that Of the women of the present
day in Europe and America.
Being half free, OF course they
wished to be quite free. A little free
dom is a dangerous thing. Unless we
mean to take off every restriction from
women save those which are equally
imposed on man, it will be better to
make them complete slaves, without
knowledge. without freedom of going
about, and with wells over their faces
when they leave the eunich-guarded
precincts of their flushed %sergalios.'
There are arguments in favor of this
reinstatement Of women Turkish
women are said to be happier than
ours. The first and strongest argu-
ment against it is that it cannot be
done.
The good old times are over forever,

Education and Auto Glasses

Bernard Shaw, in his exceedingly
Ingenious and clever argument for
the equality OF incomes, made the
point that the influence of excessive
wealth in the hands OF self-indulgent
and unintelligent persons was toward
baking the progress of science, art
and a few other things that civiliza-
ton considers worth while, because
the rewards OF high remuneration are
placed upon the Injuries and com
forts of living rathe: than upon those
things Thai are conducive to the good
of humanity.
According to Mr.. Arthur G. Web
Ester, professor of physics at Clark uni

American college life and what we
are pleased to think as our institu-
tons of learning. The result of the
unparalleled prosperity of the past
fifty years he points as disastrous to
education. The automobile classes"
hB says, stand for the pursuit Of
pleasure, the exaggeration of dancing
and the utter lack of interest In all
things that cannot be measured by
the yardstick of business success.

turn to something nearer the old days

Perhaps Professor Webster is un-
duly Respondent of the drift of pres
ent ideals. Certain it is that in the
fast few a there has come "a
great revolt against this process of
naturalization which has been eat
ing alike into the honor and the cul-
ture of the American people. Pro
lessor Webster, with his violent full
limitations against present conditions,
is himself an instance Of this great
reyulsion against the yardstick of
trade and business, which is becom-
ing the big stick raised menacingly
against the progress Of culture. We

] But Harvard is no worse than Yale,
Princeton or any OF the colleges over
which p~lutocracy holds sway. Profess
sor Webster sums UP the many dis
couraging aspects of American edu-
cation and declares that the most dis
couraging Of all is that there is
such lack of interest in it among the
educated men Of the country and such
Ignorance regarding educational con
ditions.
This is a call that the college grad
yates and educated msn Of the coun-
try ought to heed. We have no right
to lose interest in American educa-
tion. It is a part OF our love Of state
and country to keep our interest in
education and exert our influence to-
ward spreading It and maintaining
the proper educational standards at

HApPINESs-RICH AND POOR.

"There are thousands of men earning no more than 800 a day
supporting a family on that amount, who arc a million times happie
than the richest man in the world :" declares the Si;5eton StandarJ
professedly having John D. Rockefeller in mind. ''IIc has accu
mulated the biggest wad ever heard Of on this old globe Of ours,
it hastens to add.
Well, that may be true, both as to happiness and the bigges
wad. If true happiness could be bought with money, as our Sissetor
friend remarks, Mr.. Rockefeller might Iossibly show Fewer wrinkles
and more smiles ION that hard old visage of his"
But the chances are a million to one that John d. Rockefeller
would not exchange places with the man who gets but a dollar and a
half a day, not even with the assurance that the noted fnancier
would get that new stomach that he was reported some years ago to
be willing to give a million for.
1t may be that he is not happy. We are so told, at sl events
bnt such measure of happiness as. comes to him, we ten"y, is de-
rived through his ability to rake in about every second a sum
greater than the daily wage paid to the man with whom he is com
pared herein. Mayhap 1t is satisfaction rather than happiness that
comes to Mr.. Rockefeller, but the terms are at least first cousins in
their relationship. U.s.
While money, in itself. does not contribute to true happiness, it
enables one TO buy many of the little comforts that add to the cup
OF pleasure and of contentment and of ease.
No, it is not at all disgraceful to be poor-the phIosophic Mr..
Carnegie has been fearful for these many years that he might die
rich and thus forever disgrace himsef-but it is sometimes very in
convenient, notwithstanding we now and then think that happiness
never visits those who have accumulated an undue amount Of
wealth.
Rich or poor, happiness comes from within.

GLASNER's SUGGESTION.

! Frank Glasner, secretary of state, is reported to have suggested
that the automobile license fund be utilized in the construction of
fine roadway across the state.
The black and yellow tags, according to the official, selected
for next year, were chosen with a view of advertising the black and
yellow trail from Chicago to the Yellowstone park through the Black
Hills section.
Mr.. Gasner estimates that by next year the license fund will
have grown to approximately twenty thousand dollars. He would
appropriate this money for putting into condition a roadway as sug-
gested.
When it comes to using the fund for building any particular
stretch Of road We assume that there will be some protests filed, for
the license money comes from all parts of the state, whereas, with
any fund available for some years to come, only a very small amount
of roadway could be built that would command more than mere
local attention.
When the farmer shall be able to put four tons upon his wagon and
maui it to town with a single team of horses he will find that he is
but emulating the methods employed by all modern railroads. Big
ger cars, more powerful engines, better ~roadbeds, have been The
keynote of railroad managers with respect to cconomizng in the
handling of freight If the farmer can bring to town double the
load that he could formerly bring because of improved roads the
cost CT marketing bis products is thus reduced.
The theory, long held, that the automobile is a greater factor in
disintegrating %roadways than is the heavy truck or TIE heavily load
ed wagon, may have BEEN well taken with respect to certain kinds
of %roadbeds, but we seriously doubt whether it applies to dirt
roads or even &c surfaced roadways, as applied to ordinary rural
roads
But perhaps the automobile may hasten the general construct
ton Of better roads. The farmers themselves, who formerly enter
tanned considerable prejudice against the auto, and not altogether
without reason, ac fast acquiring these modern conveniences forI
rapid travel Wien they and the town citizens unite for improvedi
roadways we shall have them, and they will reach out to all por-t
