THE WOMAN VOTE AND EQUAL SUFFRAGE.

The Labor World is in favor of full equal suf-
frage. We think our wives, mothers sisters and
sweethearts just much entitled to vote as
we are.
But think that great many people look for
too much from the woman vote. Contrary to popu-
lar impression, the woman vote very seldom "puri-
fies' politics. It is true that women often in
strumental in forcing some reform on the statute
books but far expressing the hopes ideals and
aspirations Of this democracy concerned, women
are no better than men.
Man for so many generations has been taught
that woman is above him and pedestal, that
he has been foolish about it. Women are just like
men, but the average are little more refined
and better able to appreciate the finer things
of life. Man rule is idealistic than
women. The great dreams of the world dreams
that we gradually realizing have all come from
men.
In voting, women generally vote as their hus-
bands do. This not be controverted. Election
returns prove it. But that should not be an argu-
ment against equal suffrage Men themselves vote
like sheep. And women we'll men, should be
given the equal opportunity to exercise their brains
in their government. For women as we'll as men,
are the governed.

HIGH PRICE Of
WHEAT CALLS FOR
FEDERAL ACTION
BY WILLIAM E. M'EWEN.

Wheat is better than 81 bushel.

practically bullying with grain. Little
gamblers and spectators are not

under the pretense that short crop
and a war demand are responsible
for the high price now prevailing.
Bread is a luxury. The poor are
helpless. They are wandering in a
wilderness of doubt, knowing not
which way to turn for relief. Specu-
lation is rife. Bona fide wheat deal
ers can't sell, although they have
millions of bushels on hand. It is
time for the nation to- act. The en-
tire machinery at Washington should
be put in motion, and the search

cause for the present high price of
wheat.

WHY PEOPLE DON'T GO TO CHURCHES

We received some publicity matter the other day
from The Federal Council of Churches of Christ in
America. 1t was written by Charles Stelzle
The article is one of protest against the Lacka-
wanna Steel Company of Buffalo for forcing it's men
to work seven days the week. Mr.. Stezle undoubt-
edly is doing good work.
But the purpose Of the article is plain. The rea-
son the Federal Council, etc., protests against the
employment of men seven days in the week is not
because they think men should only work six days
in the week. They never think of that.
They protest in the hope that just SO many more
people will go to church if they do not work on the
Sabbath.
The clerg y evidently need the same lesson
brought home to them that the average business
man is getting now.
That is that the best returns in this world are
secured by serving others without thought of self
This is only one of the many reasons for the
rapidly failing attendance in the churches:

SPIES IN UN|0|Vs
BETRAY WORKERS
by An C:d Secret Service Agent.

When the United Mine Workers u
America had spent a large sum of
money on the strike at Trinidad,
Colo., they failed because, among
others, there was a union man by the
name of J. Frank Strong, who in
formed the corporation officers of all
that went on or was proposed by the
miners. This union man, Strong, was
known on the books of the Pinker-
tons as Cooperative No. 28.''
President John Mitchell then re-
solved to appoint reliable man to
again organize the coal miners des-
plte the vigorous vigilance of the
company.
There were plenty Of candidates, as
the job would be well paid. But it was
considered SO important, that there
was very careful consideration OF
the various applicants" and finally it
was decided to send "that tried and
true devotee of unionism, that incor-
ruptable foe of corporate tyranny
and aggression. that intrepid rare.
and conscientious friend of labor,
Robert M. Smith.
Please note that quote the words.
They are not my words For Robert
M. Smith was known on the Pinker-
ton books as cooperative No. 49," That
is to say, John Mitchell sent on an
important and supposedly secret mis-
sion spy of the Pinkerton force.
This is not an isolated case, for A.
W. Gratias, cooperative No. 49," was
elected as recording secretary OF
Millmen's union No. 90, and was
elected delegate to the Western Fed
GRAFTON Of Miners convention at Den
YER, Colo, in 1904. He was not the
only Pinkerton spy there. He was
later elected as the president of a
Western Federation of Miners local.
The records of the Western Fedora

Is it then strange that both these
unions had so much difficulty in their
work? Pinkertons is only one spy
agency. There are many others.

SAVING THE BABIES,

r The American Association for Study and Pre-
vention of Infant Mortality has been meeting in
Milwaukee, The work Of this association deserves
high praise. The facts brought out at it's meetings
and the interest in the saving of child life which
it strong forces in the conservation of
human life.
But study of the program raises the question
why all such organizations find it necessary to
'pussyfoot' on thte most important phase of their
subject The medical and individual prophylactic
and sanitary work are important. But all these
measures are determined by the society within
which they must work.
Every study of infant mortality, no matter what
corner of the earth is investigated brings back the
same story and that story is that infant mortality is

In passing, touched upon something incidental or

Some phllanthropists take the positively dishon-

In fact the underlying supposton Of all these edu-

But ignorance does not kill the babies of the

LUSITANIA AFFAIR NEAR A

New Basis Of Agreement Comes
Nearer Meeting U. s. De-
mands than Any Yet
Submitted.

Washington, Feb. 5.-For the
word "illegal," which Germany
was unwilling to incorporate in
the tentative draft of the Lusitan-
ia agreement, the Berlin foreign
office has substituted a phrase
which certain high authorities in
a position to be familiar with the
Astatus Of the negotiations consider
eovers all the principles involved
in the question Of submarine war;
fare. The language substituted
for the Objectionable word "illeg-
al" in a tentative communication
now being considered by Presi-
dent Wilson AYERS that the killing
of Americans in the Lusitania dis
aster was without intent, because
the destruction of the Cunard linz
err was an act of reprisal, and the
German government agrees that
reprisals should not be applied to
neutrals.
From the various official quar-
ters tonight came information that
the outlook is promising for an
early settlement. 1t was indicat-
ed that the tentative form of set
Element, should it prove accept
able to the United States, will be
embodied in formal communica-
ton from Germany, approaches
nearer the desires of the United
States than. any yet submitted
