ADVANCED CAUSE OF WOMAN
lbsen Has Right to Be cIassed 40
Great Feminist Writer--Has Al
ways champloned Cause.

One aspect of Ibsen's work deserves
attention, especially as connected
with modern movements in social and
intellectual life. This is the extraor-
binary prominence which he has
given to women in his dramas, and
especially to women as representing
the individualistic idea as against
state action or collectivism. Ibsen
undoubtedly thought, as most of his
dramas prove, that all state action
as such, whether exercised through a
compact majority or through police
or other agencies, is entirely harm
full and crippling because it puts
chains upon the individual.
AS against society the individual
is always right.
Now, who are the great individ-
uals?
Women undoubtedly, who not only
attack problems in their own fash
ion, but instinctively resist the pres
sure of laws imposed upon them, as
it seems to their intelligence, in an
entirely arbitrary manner.
Hence the Importance of woman in
Ibsen's plays, and hence, too, the
idea, for which, indeed, there is a
good deal to be said, that Ibsen was
the great feminist writer, doing more
for the cause of woman both as poet
and artist than any thinker had done
before him.

STEEL THAT STAYS BRIGHT
Product Now Being Made In America,
II Is Said, viii Not Rust
or Corrode.

A steel that will neither rust nor
tarnish has been discovered and is
being made commercially in the
United States, says the Iron Trade
Review The importance Of this in
vention can hardly be exaggerated.
Rust and corrosion are the great enc
mics of iron and steel. Cut through
a lemon with your pocket knife and
it comes out tarnished-corroded
stop the street cars, even for a few
hours, and the rails are yellow with
rust. Various more or less clumsy
expedients have been adopted to fight
this condition. For fine tableware
the metal is silver plated, galvanized
or painted. Sooner or later the coat
ing fails, then rust and corrosion
start their work of destruction. The
loss of steel through rust in the
United States has been estimated at
100000 tons a year, valued in the
crude, semifnished state at from
$30,000,00O to S4O,0O0,000.
The new stainless steel need not
be plated or otherwise coated, and it
stays bright under all conditions of
weather and usage. For years scien-
lists have been seeking such a metal
for tableware, pocket knives, watch
cases, for certain parts Of typewrit-
ers, guns, sewing machines, automo-
biles, bicycles and for countless other
uses. Table knives forged Of this
metal can be used with impunity to
cut acid fruits with no fear of stain
and the knife will remain bright
without inccssant securing that is
a bugbear to every household.

His Lona.Lost Five Dollars.

An elderly gentleman of rural APP
pearance had hardly seated himself
in the crosstown car when a young
lady who had followed him approached
him. Did you lose a IS bill?' she
asked, according to the st. Louis Post
Dispatch. For moment the farmer
observed her with a surprised, curious
look, then said convincingly: Yes,
ma'am, l did," "Then here it is" said
she, handing the bill to him. Il picked
it up behind you from the car floor"
Thank you very much, young lady,
for your honesty. This is a most re-
markable happening" "Oh, don't

this. What is there so remarkable
about it?" why, / lost my s. two

WANTED TO SEE THE END
Oscar Wilde's Irreverent Joke Con.
corning the Biblical Version of
Voyage of the Apostle Paul.

''The death at Ypres of Capt.
Cyril Holland reminds me of an Os-
car Wilde story, for the brave and
handsome young Captain Holland
was Oscar Wilde's eldest son."
The speaker, a New York pub
Usher, resumed, thoughtfully:
"Oscar Wilde in his youth was
himself brave and handsome, and
also very amusing. Once, when a
student at the University Of Oxford,
he was ordered as a punishment for
levity to sit down and copy out the
twenty-seventh chapter of Acts.
"He copied away diligently for
some time, and then his tutor said /:
"You may stop now, Mr.. Wilde
"But Wilde kept right ON copying.
Didn't you hear me say that you
might stop?' the tutor asked a half
hour later.
"'Oh, yes, SIR Wilde answered, q
heard you; but was SO interested in
what l was copying that l couldn't
leave off. It's about a man named
Paul, who went on voyage and was
caught in storm. I'll just keep on,
if you don't mind, sir, till find out
whether the poor fellow got drowned
or not" 4~---s.s,,-a...p,4-,.7 .,s~,,

Democratic campaign and by Their
support have given the President
better than mere fighting chance:
They have exploded the sfallacious
claim that Illinois in this campaign
is a certain Republican State. The
result is neither foreordained nor
foreclosed. It is just as doubtful as
that in New York or West Virginia
or Minnesota. t9ae!
The vote of this State will scarcely:
be less than 100000, and it may
top that by 100000. In 1912, 1.146,-
600 votes were polled. This year
305 900 women have registered in
Chicago alone. There is no registra-
ton outside the larger cities, but
the chances are that half a million
women will go. Leaving the wom-
en- out of the calculation, Illinois, un-
der normal conditions, is approx
mately 100000 Republican. The cora-
bined Taft Roosevelt vote four years
ago was about 100000 in eXee-s of
that cast for the President.
All of which shows the enormous
margin which the Democratic ticket
must overcome if the electral vote OF
this State goes to Wilson. Can 1T
be done? If the Republican party
were actually reunited and were
standing pat behind Hughes, the
answer to the question would be easy.
