Ism t it funny how some papers refer
to the denomination of Philip as a
surprise and the> denomination of
LaFollette as a triumph? If you
want to be on the dead level both of
them were lucky to have their politi-
cal hide. However, that S all past, the
thing for both of them to do is to get
out and elect each other. Of course
we never saw the Kilkenny cats but
we are going to see some of the coming
campaign.

The letter which Chairman Hurley
of the Federal Trade Commission sent
to Congress to tell why George Rublee
continues to serve on the commission
after his rejection by the Senate is a
fulsome testimonial to Rublee-and
then some. We hope Rublee will take
good care of himself. If he is any
reasonable per cent of the man Hurley
says he is, the republic cannot exist
without him.

WHAT THE PAPERS

How Editors Regard the
Achievements and Hobbies
Of Women Today.
The Servant Famine.

The city and suburban and country
homes women who rarely, or never, did
housework are cooking and cleaning
these days. A famine In servants has
brought them TO know Intimately the
kitchen and the range, the broom and
the mop. Money can provide most
things, but II takes much money nova
days to mold servants Even the
wealthy find IL difficult to obtain COM
petent help.
There was a time when mastery Of
the household arts was matter Of
pride to all women. Social customs
changed and with them woman's idea
OF her sphere. Now, abruptly. she Is
confronted with the necessity of doing
much OF the household work herself or
swing UP housekeeping.
To tho women unframed In cooking
and tho other forms of housework the
suherings OF the early Christian mar
tyrs seem no creator than they have to
endure. Aches and pains, burns and
bruises are theirs at first, but gradually
their tasks grow easier to perform. IL
is not that women are unwilling to do
these services about the home, but
ing upon them that IL IN impossible, al
most. for them to fill all the roles and
