borne or loved and married has per
ished "for his country"
but the heavy learning of some other
trade than marriage, and the accumu-
lating meetings of new costs and taxes,
the upsetting of the educational prob
lens of the country, and all the mighty
burden of helpless individuals MANNED
rast any good or beauty that is turned
back on women's shoulders.
The story Of the South African war
Of fifteen years ago is still being told
by the unmarried girls Of England to-
day. The story Of the Franco-Prussian
war could be entirely retold in the
woman's struggle that has made posi-
bic the phrase, "An American woman
wastes more in her kitchen than
French woman needs to feed her fam
ily," possible as statement that is
very nearly true.
One might so on indefinitely enum-
Grating specifically ones own convc-
ton that Mr.. Lorimer is truly right.
But rather turn to the stories that
these women did.
Like all tests of the purely "woman's
angle" on life, it may not all show
through.
Take bits here and there. One listens
to Maude Radford Warren, daughter,
herself of an English army officer, who
went to Canada, talked with women
here and there, got the going-away
story from the conductors on the Mon
treal trains that had taken Princess
Pats and many another regiment
Booked Through for the Empire" down
to the outbound ships for England and
Salisbury Plain and the Neufchatel that
came after. She says in one place:
"Many Canadians are the children of
men who fought in the East Indian
campaign and grandchildren of men
who went to the Crimean War. But
the important point is that they saw
their relatives and friends 20 to South
Africa. They sent their men off then
with wild cheers and fatuous, ignorant
hope; they whirled about in waves and
shoals of patriotism. And then their
men were killed or came back sick and
mutilated and scared to the soul; the
young ones were made old These
/ South African soldiers were not less
loyal or less proud of the empire, but
war had so disillusioned them that love
and care could never bring back GER
tain health of the spirit that is the
right of every normal man."
And again she writes:
"These French ladies have a geniu
for sentimentality in their relations to
the poor. They never miss italics of
emotional service. There is a work
room here where forty-fve women are
employed, at the usual wage of l franc,
but in addition to that they are permit
ted to give away the socks and jackets
and other garments they make to any
person who applies to them for help.
This is the first time we have ever seen
paupers exercising the privilege of phil
anthropy."
The lesson in democracy turns its
warming friendliness home, forewarn-
ing women of a new order. Yes and no.
One rather wonders.

The Boy Wonder

Twas in little Kansas town
Jess Willard grew to mans es-
tate; there was no booze to hold
him down. so he attained a
mighty weight. There were no
joints to lead astray the growing
youth of stalwart frame; his eyes
beheld no Great White Way. his
fingers learned no foolish game.
While other youths, in other
lands, were plying corkscrews
night and day, Jess held a pitch
fork in his hands, and tinkered
with the luscious hay. He work
ed till his suspenders burst, an
honest sweat bedewed his brow.
and when he entertained thirst,
he went and MIXED the nearest
COW. He trained with no high
rolling bunch. he painted for no
morning horn, and when his
stomach craved lunch. he calm
" gnawed an ear Of corn. The
sane and simple life was his, and
now he is the nations joy;
though hostile fists around him
whiz. they cannot dent that Kan
sas boy. If in the future his de-
sire is still to dodge all boozy
tricks, the man who whips him
will require an ak, gun and a
pile of bricks.

Favors Contributory Plan.

My reasons for contributory plan in
stead Of straight pension are:
Il. We are more liable to get pension
system started. Something is better than
nothing
"2. II we start with a contributory
plan. 1t does not follow necessarily that
we cannot change to some other plan that
may prove better.
"3. Experience shows that pensions are
very liable to be increased, SO that
eventually what we might give in the
contributory plan would practically come
back to US.
-. A contibutory plan gives us a
stronger hold on the government, tending
to more independence, with more perma-
nency in the service"

The Secret of Efficiency.
philadelphia Ledger.)

One of the best things said on eff
cheney appears in letter from Bishop
Brent of the Philippines to the indie
pendent. The bishop writes:
'The truly efficient man is so much
of unit, SO absorbed in his vocation,
that the elf-consciousness due to
self-analysis, which eats up strength,
Is unknown to him. If fellow does
a thing we'll he is caught in the arms
Of q JOY that takes his mind away
from himself; if badly he becomes
corroded by anxiety.
And right there is the secret of eff
fieiency; it lies in the JOY of accom-
plishment Without this joy there is
no success, and with it every plan and
device and scheme for getting better
results from labor becomes worse than
useless. This does not mean that la
bor-saving devices are worthless, but
It does mean that they viii save no
labor unless the man who uses them
IS more intent upon results than upon
the kind of tools he employs.

Fifty Years After Lincoln's Death.
Boston Transcript

We of today know Lincoln better
than did the men of his time The
people of the North believed in Abra-
ham Lincoln, and so did the soldiers
and sailors, but among politicians and
officers were many doubters. He was
the President of 'sthe plain people >
He realized it, and it was in no spirit
of demagogism, but in Just apprecia-
tion of the virtues Of the masses, that
he emphasized III one Of his earliest
messages the fact that while many of
ficers turned against the flag under
which they had served. the common
soldiers and common sailors remained
loyal. One can detect in the attitude
of many leading Republicans of the
time a certain tone of patronage to-
wards Lincoln. Some of these had,
previous to 1860, been better known to
the nation than Lincoln, and they new
er gave him whole-hearted fealty.
But Lincoln is one of those great men
who grow greater as the years pass.
We see him more clearly as he recedes
from us, for his works live after him
and increase their vitality. Of only the
world s immortals can this be said.

A FALSE PARALLEL.

Those who try to excuse German sub
marine commanders for killing non
combatants at sea by saying that
Great Britain is trying to starve the
non combatant population of Germany
employ a false parallel. The two
acts are not Identical The starvation
program would affect only those non
combatants who should continue to
seek protection behind the military
organization of the German empire.
Their starving would depend on their
remaining within the German lines.
They would have a chance for their
lives if they cared to surrender as
refugees or prisoners to the allies or
to flee across the German border into
neutral countries like Switzerland, Hol-
land, Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
They would at least have choice of
evils. But the non-combatants killed
when a submarine torpedoes mer-
chant ship at sea have no choice. They
would be glad to surrender. In fact
by heaving to when ovefhauled By a
hostile submarine a merchant ship S
captain gives notice of his purpose to
yield and accepts the protection given
| by international law to vessels, other
than war vessels, subject to search
| confscation or destruction by the enc
my. killing the crews and passengers
of unarmed merchantmen is forbidden
! by international law so long as no re
sistance is offered. 1t is not recognized
as an act of war and is therefore to b,
classed as cold-blooded murder.
If the British authorities should de
liberately starve German civilians il
territory taken from Germany Their
would be Il complete parallel with tn
exploits of some of the German sub
marine commanders. But even the mos
ardent defenders of the German polio.
of 'frightfulness' would hardly Xix
to see their argument of similarity win
Dictated in that extreme and unbeliev
able way.
