CHIvALRY VERSUS JUSTICE.

There can be no denial of the i'm
perative nature of the equal suffrage
issue. Eleven states and one territory
have granted woman the ballot, and
in all others it is the principal agitation
and demand. Why, then. is it not a
high duty to free the discussion of all
falsities, smugness and obvious clap
trap so that honest, sincere argument
may have clear field, thus writes
George Creel in the March Pictorial
Review and he continues:
What is more fair, for instance, than
the demand that men who grow maud
lin in praise of the American queen
must be prepared to show that, in their
particular city and state, the women
are treated fairly and decently? Or
that those who insist that the fair
sex" does not need the vote be called
upon to prove that the women in their
sections are without grievance?
In plain words, let chivalry be ar
raigned and made to justify itself. Is
it the thing of perfect honor and pro-
tective tenderness, deep-rooted in ade-
quate laws, or only buncombe designed
to cloak prejudice, Sordid motives and
evil privileges? There are many cases,
the citation of which will not only
make the point clear. but may also
lead to a better understanding of the
bitternesses and ugly resentments that

Health and Elastic Bands.
BY RUTH CAMERON

Health and Elastic Bands.
A doctor was rebuking patient
who had brought on an illness by
needless OVERRIDING.
But I'll feel all right just as soon
yes" he said, you'll feel all right
but you won't be all right"
Because you'll have, lost part. of
your power to come back. Every
time you put such a strain on your
self you lose something that you'll
probably never get back. You can
do it and you may feel all right
enough when yousset rested. but you
won't come, quite back to the point
| you left. e And }thelonext time you
overdo, it will be still harder to come
back, and you'll fall little bit short
err of your normal self.
It's rather an appalling thought.
isn't it? s..la
pretty strongly in the hope of i'm
pressing a reck1essly spent-health-
woman, yet it's too near the truth for
comfort.
A friend of mine had his automobile
five-hour ride over the toughest of
the country roads the thieves were
arrested for speeding, the theft was
discovered and the machine returned
to it's duly thankful owner. But when
the machiniSt came to overhaul the
car he found it in terrible shape.
Five weeks of ordinary use," he de-
clared, wouldn't have taken so much
out of that machine as that five hours
of abuse did,
It's the same with the human ma
chine. It's not what we do but what
we overdoo that wears us out and
makes us old.
The day we crowd to the exhaustion
point, the week we never let up on
ourselves, the long season of work
and worry, take more out of US thai
twenty times their duration of normal
living.
When we are young we seem TO
have an almost limitless supply of the
wonderful power of coming back, but
when the first reSiliency of youth
passes, the rebound is not so swift
and complete.
You may stretch an elastic band
almost to the breaking point and it
will come back into it's normal shape
again, at first. But by and by it
begins to sag and lose shape and re-
siliency. So it is with us. At first we
can stretch ourselves to the breaking
point and come back. A single nights
good sleep or a weeks vacation will
put us in shape again.
But when the twentieS begin to
glide by and the thirties and forties
come into sight, it behooves us to be
more careful how we strain our elias
ITCHY to the breaking point. 1t may
not break, but it may lose all it's re-
siliency.

cations or take advantage of our
great opportunities without. But be

are c1ouding and confusing the entire
equal suffrage question.
Senator Tillman of South Carolina,
for instance, bases his opposition upon
the belief that the ballot will mar the
beauty and dim the lustre of the glor-
ious womanhood with which we have
been familiar and prefaces all of his
attacks by the insistence that his
known reverence for good women"
will prevent him from being under
stood.
The slightest inquiry into this beauty
and Iuster, however, develops aim st
unspeakable conditions. The statute
books of South Carolina do not contain
one single law for the protection OF
the working women, thousands of
whom are in the cotton mills. The
father is the sole and despotic owner
of the children, being able to deed
them away from the mother If he
wishes, and there are no laws that
permit a wife to control her own prop
erty or her own earnings. No matter
how drunken, or worthless or bru-al
a husband may become, divorce is
practically impossible, and if the NO
man fees the roof that such cond1-
lions have made unbearable. the state
regards her almost as fugitive slave
who may not be fed or sheltered.

WHEAT PRICES AND BREAD.

The wheat in the hands of the
American farmers it to be seized by
the government to depress bread
prices? That is practically what an
embargo on it's expectation would
mean, says Golfers, and it continues:
Before taking so unprecedented a
step, even when suggested by Mr.
George w. Perkins and Mayor Mitch
ell of New York, it will be wise for the
government to stop, look and listen.
The farmers, as this is written, receive
at their railway stations from $1.40
upword for their wheat. In Chicago
May wheat sold at S1.411A after
touching a point almost twenty cents
higher. This should be considered by
those who fix their eyes on the price
of bread only. We have just weighed
a pound loaf bought at the corner
grocery. 1t weighed three-quarters of
a pound in it's sanitary wrapper. How
much are the people of the cities pay
ing for the bread in a bushel of wheat
at this rate. Good milling will con-
vert from 20 to 10 per cent of the
wheat into flour-and we have good
millers in the United States. A bush
ell will yield about forty-four pounds
of flour. Seven pounds of flour, ac-
~ Tic requirements OF the
best bakeries, must yield nine pounds
of bread, or fifty-seven pounds of
bread to the bushel of wheat This
means seventy-six loaves of the size
now sold in our neighborhood. May
or Mitchell was justly concerned, for
in New York City the loaf sold for
some days at six cents. The city's
poor were, therefore, paying sass for
the flour in bushel of wheat When
the by-products are taken into ac-
count, the ultimate consumers are
paying more than three times for their
government will attend to the grocers
the bakers, the millers, the railways
the elevator men, the board of trade,
and all the others who are getting
more than So out of wheat, and then
stand before the farmer with proof
that the pound loaf cannot be sold for
five cents, the farmer will take his
medicine. And not until then. For
until the government can do this, it
cannot come with clean hands before
the man who produced the wheat in
| the sweat of his brow. The best solu-
ton of whatever wheat scarcity there
| may exist is to let only the law of sup
ply and demand send up the price of
wheat. Under such conditions the
farmer will sow in wheat every avail
able acre everywhere, fertilize it, care
! for it, garner it in, and place it on the
market.

PLACING THE BLAME.

North Carolina has the least effec-

trial states, and it was one of her sem
ators who blocked the way to fed
eral law in the senate that has just
adjourned" This statement was made
at the recent quarterly meeting of the
board of trustees of the National Child
Labor committee by A. ]. Mckelway,
southern secretary of the committee,
whose headquarters have been in
Washington ever since the Palmer
Owen child labor bill was introduced
in congress a year ago. DR.. Nickel
way said further:
This winter the cotton manufac-
turers of North Carolina succeeded
first in defeating all child labor legis-

They packed the committee on manu-
features to which the child labor bill
was referred Their lobby. forty
strong, appeared before their commit

that followed. Then they became
alarmed at the prospect of federal leg
