Women in Politics

THE opponents of votes for women who
i urge that women have no interests at
stake in politics, that the home is hermeti-
cally sealed chamber through the walls of
which nothing can reach mother, wife or
sister, should read the list of bills concern
ing women which have been acted upon by
the State Legislatures of our country in the
past year.
Suffrage is, of course, the measure of
woman's political activity. Twenty-Five
State Legislatures considered the question.
Half of them defeated the measure many
by close votes. Seven referred constitutional
amendments to the voters for decision this
fall or next, The remainder are still con-
sdering.
But Importance of politics to women is
much more sharply demonstrated by other
measures considered and enacted. Twenty
eight States took UP bills vitality affecting
women in questions of marriage, divorce,
work and maternity. Besides a large batch
of bills to reduce hours of labor and adjust
wnges, besides matters such as the creation
of women police in New Jersey, the tardy
admission of insanity as basis for divorce
in Connecticut. 1s States took up the very
important subject OF mothers pensions.
Eight acted favorably for the first time;
two adversely; while the remainder ampllled
existing legislation.

Church and state United Today

ONE of the best and most sSilfully argued
" editorials in any New York paper last
week was an advertisement. It was an ad-
vertlsement of the Christian Church. 1t be-
gan, Can this war make you stop, look
and" 1t ended Go to church tomorrow"
Between the two lines of bold faced type the
writer brought out the clear point that
!. though man may have departed little from
\the fundamental feelings and lusts of three
thousand years ago, the Church has made
significant advance:
Our ancestors thousand years ago
went to church-beeved in church. were
tremendously influenced by the church.
Practically every churchman was a warrior
The Church not only believed in war but
often caused II. Today the Church
is for peace.
Each one OF us must throw our strength
with the church For our own sakes-for
our families sakes-ws must have peace
Our peace must be powerful that this ma
tion's voice will be raised until even awful
Europe must lift its head to listen.
Do your share and do 1t now
GO to church tomorrow.
Mr.. Taft implied the same thing when he
told the graduating class of swarthmore:
"The longer my experience with government,
the more deeply impressed have become
with the tremendous Importance of the part
that the church plays In making popular gov
ernment what 1t ought to be, and in vIndi-
eating 1t as the best kind of government that
an intelligent people can establish"

TOO COURTEOUS TO GERMANY

To the Editor Of EUenin0 Ledger:
Slr-Although l not an American, yet.
having been many years in this country,
cannot help taking some interest in the moral
concerns of the same, In my opinion the Cow
ernment of the United States has shown itself
TO be too complaisant, too remsslve. too cour-
teous toward the German Government which
has taken such complaisance courtesy and ac-
quiescence as signs OF weakness, or rather OF
fear OF this nation toward Germany. and there
fore has treated this country always worse.
with more contempt and arrogance. do not
say, nor expect. that the United States declarsi
war against Germany, know that It is not,
easy or feasible to carry on war in Europe
against the Teutons. but think at least that
the United States Government could break on
the diplomatic relations with a nation which has
shown on many occasions a disrespect for this
country, and has provoked its people in DIFF
ferent ways. And II President Wilson will not
go 80 far. he ought at least ask that the Ger
man Ambassador be recalled and somebody else
substituted IMPARTIAL. .

THE PHILADELPHIA OF ARKANSAS

From the st. Louis Post Dispatch
Truth Is mighty scarce and in great travail,
and news also is scarce in the Philadelphia OF
Arkansas the same being Salem rechrlstened
by the able editor Of the esteemed Salem Sun.
'If we could CLEAN good news items" says he,
1--WE would gladly herald them forth to painting
truth-seekers." None the less the following
locals indicate degree of animation in his neck
Of the woods:
Weed pulling is in order.
Business is better in French. Jim Cummings
is pulling horse weeds for his mule.
Johnny Benton has learned to be q horss
snapper and has skinned Bud billiard out OF
q good young mule.
Horseshoe pitching has been the main issue
of the day during the wet weather But since
the dry weather the game is off
with hot airships. Think Of the motor power
going to waste on Salems Short Line sidewalk.
The first delegation OF flies arrived Thurs
day from Little Rock; you could smell book
beer their breath. Doubtless the police
force has raided 9Th street saloon.
If the esteemed editor really wishes TO make
things hum in his Arkansas haven OF brotherly
love and start big things in the news way, why
not a swatting contest to kill off the drunken
list all the moral forces of the town, including
the Prohbtionists. II would give the anti
German jingoes a wholesome occupation for
their restless energies There would be less
lie-swapping and horse -swindling. It would
provide civic work for the unemployed. without
interfering too greatly with the proper recrea-
tion of horseshoe pitching. To rid the town OF
drunken files, which set horrible examples and
n work according with the highest civic ideals
and worthy the best editorial endeavors.

Two Million Volumes

Going from the first floor. past the Wlde-
ner memorial rooms, and on by either
of the stairways. one comes to q lofty
hail. and thence to the great reading room
of the library-a room 1872 feet long, AZ feet
wide, and with barrel-vaulted and coffered
ceiling A feet high, slSylghted by soft-toned
glass The stack extends through eight low
studded stories, and there Is a chance for
two moro floors of stack in the basement,
when there shall be need. The total capac-
ity OF the library, as 1t now stands, is about
100000 volumes, and with extension there
will be a capacity of more than 2s0OOO0.
In this respect the widener Library is sur
passed only. in this country, by the New
York Public Library and the Congressional
Library. It's capacity, all told, is greater
than that of the Boston Public Library
An unusual feature. in connection with the
stack, is some 10 good-sized studies for pro-
fessors where they can be in close touch
with the books with which they are az work;
and there are also in the different stack floors
800 reading stalls for research students. Two
prominent characteristics, therefore, of the
new library are that it win serve not only
undergraduate but graduate students alike
and adequately. To President Lowell is due
the credit OF providing for the needs of pro-
fessors and research students
Among the suggestions OF the memorial in
tent OF the new building, besides the widener
memorial rooms, are three marble tablets
two In the vestlbule at the main entrance
and the third in the entrance hall
At the left within the vestlbule. the tablet

WATCH YOUNG PIGS CLOSELY
Young Animals Take Cholera Easily
II Exposed to lnfection-Use OF
Serum Is Favored.

Cholera frequently makes its appear
ance among pigs shortly after wean-
ing time, especially where cholera ex-
listed on the premises the year previ-
ous. Sows that have been vaccinated
and have survived an outbreak share
their immunity with the young pigs as
long as these are nursing, but when
the pigs are taken away from the sows,
and this protection is no longer afford
ed, the pigs take cholera very easily
if exposed to any infection lingering
on the premises from the previous out
break.
If signs of cholera make their ap-
p~earance make preparations to have
the single treatment administered
without delay. From fifteen to forty
cubic centimeters of serum for each
pig will be required. The amount de-
Ponds upon the size and condition
of the pigs.

MILK MACHINES SAVE TIME
Do Not Affect Milk Flow, According
to Tests Made at Geneva IN. W
Experiment Station.

The first United States patent COW
ering a milking machine was issued in
1849. In 1860 two more were granted.
Since that time various devices
have been patented.
Tests made by the New York agri-
cultural experiment station at Geneva
prove that machine milking does not
affect the milk flow.
It was also found that milking ma
chimes were great time savers. The
total time required to milk 80 cows
was 121.02 minutes, or an average of
4.034 minutes to milk one COW.
Under commercial conditions, the
time could be decidedly lessened.
The milking machine is no longer an
experiment. It is being used the world
ove by progressive dairymen.

ANIMAL FOOD is ESSENTIAL
To Secure Best Egg Yield Poultryman
Must Supply Fowls With Green
Cut Bone or Milk.

If the best egg yield is to be OBJ
be supplied during the fall and winter
months. During spring and summer,
fowls having range will obtain ami
NAL food in the form of bugs and
worms, but when the frosty days come
and this form Of animal food can no
longer be obtained, the poultryman
must supply this element in the ration
by the feeding Of green cut bone, beef
scrap or milk.
If to be obtained, fresh bone from
the butcher is not only the cheapest
but the best animal protein food that
can be obtained. Bone is rich in pro-
tein, fat and minerals. 1t should always
be fed while fresh, especially if the
weather is at all warm. since it spells
quickly, and the feeding Of tainted
bone is always attended with danger.
If it is impossible to obtain bone,
beef scrap will supply the hens with
the needed animal protein. Beef scrap
is a product of the packing houses,
and is the residue from tallow and
lard rendering, thoroughly cooked and
ground.
Cracklings a sometimes be pur-
chased from local butchers at a price
much less than that charged by deal
ers for commercial beef scrap. These
are identical with beef scrap in food
elements, and it is always a matter of
economy to purchase and feed them
If possible.
Milk is also an animal protein food.
Milk. however, is not sufficiently rich
in protein to entirely replace bone or
beef scrap. Where milk is fed, it is Gus
tomary to reduce the proportion of
bone or scrap in the ration one-half.
Milk should he fed always sweet or al
ways sour, since the changing from
one to the other will likely upset the
fowls digestion.
