Why Women Seek the Barot.

Prof. Il. II, Vickers, Eone of the
most brilliant members of the fac
ulty OF the West Virginia University.
spoke recently before large audi
ence in Morgantown on The Eco
nomlc Evolution Of Women" He at
tributed the present cry for woman
suffrage to the natural outcome Of
the changed conditions OF the home.
1t was n desire to find her place
again in the worlds work.
He said that according to the CEN
sus reports of 1910, twenty-three
per cent of the women In the United
States are engaged in gainful occu-
patlons away from home. There are
one million more women than men
in Germany. the same proportion in
England. and more women than men
in the United States except in some
parts OF the West. Fort per cent of
the widows are also doing work. II
follows that the old adage "a wom-
ans place Is In the home" Is out
grown. 1t is a physical impossihility
for millions OF them to find work in
the home.
But in this work outside the home
woman finds herself much handicap
ped. unorganized and generally UNI
trained. often not much interested in
her. She is forced everywhere to
take lower wages and usually under
unsanitary or hard conditions.
Furthermore. what is worse to the
maternal instinct. her children are
compelled to work, and often to
their own injury and death. The
woman finds that she has no control
whatever over the conditions in
which she and her child must work.
Inside the home she could keep 1t
clean and sweet. but In the factory
she can do nothing.
In her cropping for relief she turns
to the ballot box. 1t has, without
ny doubt. helped the labortng man
10 better his conditions, and why
should it not then help the millions
of laboring women?

Thc Lesson From sngnr.

When tariff discussion Is resumed.
ms it will.be, taking its place as the
foremost issue between American
political parties, after the overshad-
owing engrossment in the European
war has passed away, there will be
new and striking illustrations OF the
fallacy of the Democratic assertion
that the amount OF tariff protection
is added to the price for a protected
commodity by the consumer. There
will be also ample evidence of the
unreliahllity of tho converse of this
proposition. that taking the tariff of
articles of general consumption low
ere their prices to tho consumer and
reduces the cost of living.
Congressman Undertake, OF Col
orado, commenting on the recent ac-
tlon Of the Democratic caucus pledg-
ing support for the bill to retain the
duty on sugar, remarks:
When the Democrats advocated
Eree sugar they claimed that the
price of sugar to the consumer would
be reduced in proportion to the re-
duction In duty. But what are the
facts? The partial reduction in
the sugar duty wiped out the cane
sugar industry of the United States.
1t partially destroyed the beet sugar
industry and completely blocked it's
further development. 1t conferred
n benefit upon the sugar Industry
in foreign countries. 1t reduced the
annual customs revenues about ten
million dollars. At the same time
the price Of sugar in America has
remained practically the same. In
short, one item in the Democratic
tariff law has reduced our revenues,
tremendously damaged American In
dustry. aided foreign competitors,
and has been OF no benefit whatever
to American consumers"
Nothing can be adduced by DEM
ocratlc tariff maddlers that will
break the force of Representative
citation, because he re.
lies upon what Is known of all men
as incontestably true. The Demo-
cratic party has had its cnance and
shown its inabili TO deal success
fully with the fiscal problems OF the

Brazil DIsn7,ste,l

From Rio Janeiro comes word that
Brazilian financIers and business men
are thoroughly disappointed at the
character of the delegation which this
country Is sending to the Pan-Ar
can Congress at Buenos Aires a
that this same feeling is shared i.
sentlna.
With extraordinary opportunities
for cultivating the commercial rela-
tons between the United States and
the South American republics II was
hoped that men of high standing in
the business world and in the Legal
profession would be chosen as dele
gates. Instead, President Wilson IS
sending his son-in-law. Mr.. McAdoo,
whose reputation In the business
world Of this country appears TO have
preceded him to South America, Mr..
McAdoo's chum. Sam Untermeyer.
who also appears to be known in the
South American capitals and other
lesser lights.
That the party which sailed recent
" on the United States warship Ten
nessee will prove more of a junket
than a serious mission chosen with a
view to actual achievement Is the I'M
preston which appears TO prevail in

WAR CAUSING
PAPER FAMINE.
DEALERS SAY
Gun Cotton Manufacture Pos
SibIe Reason for Scarcity
of Fine Brands.

lZPlTTSBURGi, March 1S.-Another
per Is u tremendously scarce commo-
dfty in the United States today Is the
statement of dealers in Pittsburg.
Some OF the hlgh-grade bond papers
are 1000 per cent higher than for
merly. The lack, caused by the war,
OF rags with which to make fine pa
per, has made prices soar. while
wood pulp, the basis for newspaper
sheets, the more common kinds of
paper Is considerably more expen-
stye than in the days before the Eu-
ropean war.
II is mooted question whether
the European war is responsible for
the paper famine in the United States.
Samuel Hausman, of the Hausman
apd WINNER Company, scrap dealers,
says the major part of the rags used
in the production of the finer grades
of paper came from Europe. Thous-
nnds of tons were shipped monthly
before the war.
1t is in bond and other high grade
papers that the shortage Is most per-
ceptible. G. +. Briggs, secretary of
the Hartje Paper Manufacturing
Company, 113 Wood street, said he
believed 1t possible that the allies
were buying up cotton rags, which
might otherwise have gone into paper
manufacture and converting them by
beating process into gun cotton.
At q meeting Of master printers OF
western Pennsylvania Tuesday night
the statement was made that NUM-
ton manufactures were doing this.
Paper dealers and printers admit that
fluctuations in the price Of paper are
daily occurrence.
According to j. F. McCaughtry.
representative OF the Pittsburg divis<
ion Of the International Paper Com
pany, most of the wood used for
newspapers is imported from Canada.
He said:
It's prosperity that's causing the
shortage in the commoner grades,
such as that used for newspapers.
Why all over the country papers are
turning out big editions and all car
ry heavy advertising. l don't look
for a normal demand for three years
to come. Maybe the papers will have
to cut down in size. hope this Mex
lean trouble doesn't cause them to
get our extras.
Mr.. McCaughtry does not place
much faith in the belief that rags are
being turned into gun cotton. He
admitted that as he was not dealer
in fine papers made from rags he
could not speak with certainty on
that score.

Who would have thought that the
tin can is a menace to the public
health? The expert malaria investt-
gators of the United States Public
Health Service have found. however,
that discarded tin cans containing

mosquito which is the sole agent in
spreading malaria. A hole in the bot
