Man and Physical Nature
Are Waging the Real Battle.
Secretary Lane Asserts

The address of Secretary Lane of the
Interior Department before the open-
ing session of the mining and geologi-
cal section of the Pan-American Scien-
tific Congress. which began this morn
ing at the Raleigh Hotel, was, in part,
a. follows:
Il fancy that if Christopher Column
bus is able at this time to survey this
world and see what is happening he is
well pleased at his venturesome voy-
age. While all the nations of the
world that he left have their knives at
each others throats, the peoples of this
new world have sent their most learn
ed men, their philosophers. their scien-
lists, inventors and engineers to talk
with one another as to how this new
land may become wiser, richer and be
made more useful. This is surely a con-
trast.
Times When War Is Necessary.
There are times. / know, when ma
tions who believe in themselves must
fight. But let us not delude ourselves
with the notion that civilization is the
product of arms. The only excuse for
war is to secure peace. that men of
thought, resourcefulness and skill may
have opportunity to make themselves
masters of the secrets of nature
For the real battle of the centuries
is not between men or between nations
or between races. The one fight the
enduring contest, is between man and
nature.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
IN GRANTWOOD.

Mrs. Feickert, president of the
Women's Suffrage Association of
New Jersey, was the guest of honor
at the Suffrage Tea given at the home
of Mrs. Wallace J. Mcdonald, Wash
ington avenue, Thursday afternoon,
February 18th. There were fully one
hundred women present.
Mrs. Feickert spoke on the meth
DDS to be pursued in the final securing
of the franchise for the women of the
state. A definite canvas of the men
was necessary, each woman in the
movement to secure the interest and
cooperation of ten voters.
Much pleasure was given to the
gathering by the singing of Mrs. Ar
thur Levy Tea and refreshments
were served.

higher, or lower, as the case may be
in the end and claim every kind of
equality. Whether this desire for
equality is merely like many other
female whims, is matter yet to be
decided. Of one thing the world may
be sure, and that is that there will
be fewer mothers than at present, and
maybe more policemen, and largely
greater cost of government. Who can
tell? To-day woman says she wants
all these equality privileges merely
because she has the right to ask for
them. She does not say she has any
use for them, but hopes to do good in
the end. Of what use they may
finally be, is matter that cannot
at this time be told. No man may
foresee the end of this terrible fight
for something that woman herself
cannot define as her purpose in de-
string. Like spoiled child, she may
have no use for it when she gets it.
If she must have it; if she must in
sist on taking it, nolens volens, all
very well. Who is going to stop her?
Who is going to oppose her? Just
few foolish men who know little of
what they do. No woman leader is
going to show any man who opposes
this moment the slightest quarter.
There is no argument that may be
presented that will have any weight.
There can be nothing presented that
is worth hill O. beans, so what's the
use. Personally a man may be never
so opposed to this movement-never
so opposed to anything as to this
woman question, but if he is told to
shut up and mind his business, he
will have to do it or move out. Then
what is to become of things? Who is
to mind the babies? Nobody, because
there won't be any to mind. All the
women are not going to become men,
but the men are to get along the best
they may or can.
Now, is not this about the size it?
Personally, we have always felt that
the home is the best and safest place
for all women. But this is now
chestnut. But then one mans opin-
ion will not go far Therefore we
take back seat, forced there by pub
lie sentiment in favor of cause that
has more sides than the polyginal
war map.

earned it."
The N. Y. Tribune says: "The
Times is very wide awake to the dan
ger of equal suffrage but it is blind
and deaf to what has happened to
women and their work in the last
few decades. 1t has no more percep-
ton of the desire of American women
to do their share in the work of the
State than if the Times were pub
lished in the Middle Ages. We think
that women are amply fitted to help
in the solution of the problems of
government especially those that re-
late to health, milk regulation, etc.
Here men and women together help
ing each other can work toward a
common goal and help the human
race to faster progress.

THE COMING ISSUE.

The European war has been the
chief issue before the world for the
past seven months. But it is not
greater in general interest so far as
this country is concerned, that that
other great war for the rights OF
women. 1t is coming faster than
prairie fire, and has planned it's
attack along lines that are re-
stricted by no confines or limited
by boundaries of any kind. As
subject, its onward sweep is an
overwhelming as torrent after a
freshet. 1t is at this moment gather
ing it's forces for an attack that will
resound from one of end of Christen-
dom to the other. Alone in her war
fare for freedom before the law in all
of its bearings, woman would not get
very far. But she has at last become
possessed of sufficient political acumen
to bring to her side the professional
politician, and in him lies her one
hope. Politics in this country is
the lever that moves the nation.
Without it there would not be
much in the way Of stable gov
eminent in republican form. If
the issue is finally settled in
in favor of women; if they are at last
given all the rights that men possess;
if they are placed upon an equality
with men in all things; if they are to
be denied nothing that men enjoy; if
they are to go out and compete with
men, with no hindrances of any kind
to hamper their ambitions; if they
are to be given everything that man
has, politically and otherwise, they
will have hewn for themselves a ca
reer that will of necessity force
complete metamorphosis in the female
status, physically, morally and politi-
cally.
1t is within no mans province to
say that all that women are seeking
is not theirs by right, divine and
otherwise. He may think she de-
serves all and more than she gets; or,
he may think she belongs exactly
where she is at this time-in the place
of a woman. Created by God differ
ent, she has heretofore occupied
place in the worlds economy also diff
ferent from mans yet similar. Here
tofore she has been content to reign
as woman. Now she aims to go

The LalUyer In Congress.

There isn't anything against law
yers as class. They are as essential
to the healthy condition of the fabric
of government, as any other sect,
class or body of business people. But
in congress lawyers appear to have
the upper hand. They represent 60
per cent. of the total membership.
And while it is logical to suppose that
we should send our lawyers to make
our laws, it is the quality of lawyers
there to which objection may be made.
There appears to be something
strange that many of the most
Indifferent of the legal profession
with only 100000 members should
so dominate congress. We send
our best men of other profess
sions to perform their duties, naval
and military men, all for the most
part competent. Why not make it
rule to send the best lawyers Ger
tainly it is not done.

Salt And Longevity.

Everybody must stop eating salt.
That is, if they want to live one hun
dred years or more-perhaps two
hundred. Here comes a female lee
turer before the Food Reform Society
and says so. She says bran is an
ideal food, without salt. Salt kills
that sweet, nutty flavor. Cracked
wheat and bran buns are fine. We
always knew that. Use lemon juice
instead of vinegar. Then we could
not eat many germs. Then, there is
nothing more nourishing than the
peel of turnip, raw at that. Olives
are great beautifier. So are goose
berries. Get back to nature and never
have i'll health and never die. The
lady is an idealist, of course, but she
is half right, after all. We all eat
too much that is not sensible or SIM
pie. Few people care to eat without
salt, and salt is an old food of itself.
The Bible speaks of salt: "But if the
salt have lost it's SAVIOR, wherewith
shall it be eaten? 2" Bread without
salt is frightfully fiat, yet the pass
over bread is made without salt.
Still, doing without salt would not
cause anybody to starve.

Prohibitions PrO0ress.

Nothing seems to stay the onward
tide of prohibition. 1t is sweeping
the country before it while it would
seem from the best testimony that
prohibition does not prohibit; that it
means free whisky, or whisky sold
without license, is it not the lesser
of two evils? Does not prohibition
really lessen crime? If men would
only know how to dring moderately
but they don't, and won't! The
drink habit once formed grows in
deeper until it's bearing down prop
osition takes it's victim with it.
The most drastic prohibition law
of all has just been voted into effect
in Alabama. After May LIST next
there will not be saloon allowed in
the state. At the present time only
nine counties in Alabama may sell
liquors. Soon all will be out of COM
mission.
Under the new Alabama law no
man is allowed to buy for his own use
more than one quart of whisky a
week. If search be made and more
than one quart is found the party
may be arrested and fined for run
ming a "blind tiger"-a saloon Sc
cretly run without a license.
No man in Alabama may possess
or order more than sixty pint bottles
of beer in any one month, and the
same laws of search or arrest govern
nthis limitation.
No man may have at one time
more than five gallons of any kind
of wine in his home per month.
No newspaper or periodical may
be sold in Alamaba containing any
kind of liquor advertising.
If violations of the law are made,
continuance of the infraction will
send man to Jail after his fning
limit is reached.
The prohibition leaders in Ala
bama are now trying to get congress
to refuse to grant Federal license
for the sale of liquors and beer in
Alabama. This license costs $25 and
any one in Cincinnati of elsewhere
out the state may send liquors into
Alabama at this time, or even after
May 1st.
No express company or carrier of
any kind, is allowed to deliver to one
person in Alabama, more than the
prescribed quantity Of liquor, wine or
beer under the penalty of a heavy
fine.
This is very drastic legislation in
deed. 1t means that having seen the
evils of the traffic, the people of Ala
bama have risen up and delivered it
the most smashing blow of all record

The Worn, Turns.

Whatever influence induced Hugh
Roberts, the Jersey City architect, to
offer his services to the Cliffside Park
Board of Education without compen-
sation" in an advisory capacity it was
a very strange procedure, to say the
least. 1t looked to a man up tree,
as though he might have been in
fiuenced to do it. There is at
least one other so-called architect
with whom Mr.. Roberts has init
mate association, who might have
been at the bottom of it and
even he had announced himself
as opposed to competition. Further
more, Mr.. Roberts did not strengthen
his own reputation as an architect
when in his published letter he stated
that one architect could design as
good a school as another. What tom
myrot! Mr.. Roberts knows better.
1t isn't so. This is an age of special
lists. One finds it in every calling.
Men are chosen everywhere for
their fitness to do certain things.
Any man is better qualified to
do certain things he has special
lied on than if he had only gen.
eral knowledge of a given subject.
An astronomer would be a poor per-
son to go to for information about
fishes of the sea.
But Mr.. Sibley needs no defense
whatever. His work speaks for itself.
He has made schools, their building,
their needed conveniences and their
cost, deep, careful study. He can
beat out any average architect who
pretends to match him on planning
schools, merely because he knows how
to build better schools. That is the
sum and substance of the whole
school building subject though Mr..
Roberts should not feel peeved be-
cause the Board of Education did not
see it's way to accept his invaluable
services. They had a better way
toward securing a good school than
going through the devious channels
of a competition.
