WHAT MAN WILL SERVE THE STATE
BEST?

Frequently the cry is heard in
politics that a business man"
is needed for this office or that.
Mr.. Bruce Craven contributes a
good point to this discussion by
saying:
THE kind of business we need
in public affairs is competence,
economy and honesty. 1t is not
a matter of occupation, but of
attitude and character. Some of
the best business men in the
state today are preachers. teach
ers and doctors, and some of the
worst have charge of the COM
mercial enterprises that distin-
guish themselves only in the
bankruptcy proceedings"
It's a bad sign in politics when
support is asked for this or that
man simply because of his occu-
patton, or because he can make
a pleasing speech, or because he
is a member of this or that
faction in the party. The real
test is, Which man will best
serve the peoples interests"
And here the tests are character,
ability, and political principles.
Unless a man ID stands for
something, dedicating himself
heart and soul to some policy for
the upbuilding of the state or
county, and (2) has both char
acter and ability TO carry out his
principles unless he has these
two qualifications the people will

A NATION OF WOMEN

Previous to the European War,
Great Britain had an excess of
of women. This disproportion
is far greater now since so many
British men have been slaughter
ed in the conflict. England may
become a nation of women,
operated and peopled in an over
whelminQly feminine way. Lon
don alone employees over so, 900
women clerks. This one occupa-
ton has passed almost entirely
into woman's hands. Formerly
womenIphysicians were frowned
upon and unbelievable obstacles
placedi..in the way of acquiring
this profession. Now the de-
mand for women doctors is grea-
ter than the supply. Every po-
sition is open to them. Even
the posts of house physicians
and house surgeon in Institutions
are offered to women. Some Of
the Boards of Guardians are so
pressed for doctors that they
have cast aside prejudice and
are importuuing women physic-
ians to accept appointments.
