ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept T.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, President
CT the National American Woman's
Suffrage Association, in her address
before the annual convention of the
Association here today pictured the
suffrage movement as having reached
a crisis which means that 'The Wo-
mems Hour Has Struck" Earnestly,
she exhorted the women not to lose
heart, but to recognize the present OPP
portunity which "im seized with vigor,
enthusiasm and will, means the fnai
victory of our great cause in the very
near future" She said in ptrt:
"The great war will bring untold
changes in its wake; it presages total
change in the status of women. lii
Europe, from the Polar Circle to the
Aegan Sea women have risen and TAX
en- the places made vacant by men,
and in so doing they have grown in
self-respect and in the esteem of their
respective nations Indeed Europe is
realizing at it never did before, that
women are holding together the civil
il alton for which men are fighting. A
great searchlight has been thrown up,
on the business of nation-building and
it has been demonstrated in every
European land that it is partnership
with equal but different responsibilities
resting upon the two partners.
"The war will soon end and the
armies will return to their native
lands. To many family, the men will
never come back. The husband who
returns to many a wife will eat no
bread the rest of his life save of her
earning.
What then will happen after the
war? Will the widows left with fam
lilies to support cheerfully leave their
well-paid posts for those commanding
lower wages? Not without protest!
The economic axiom, denied and evad-
every factory, counting house and SOD;
Equal pay for equal work. and COM
mon justice will slowly but surely en-
force that law. The European woman
has risen. She may not realize it yec
but the woman door-mat' in every lagd
has unconsciously become a door
JAM She will have become accustora-
ed to her new dignity by the time tAe
men come home. She Will wonder now
she ever could have been content lying
across the threshold now that she dis
covers the upright jamb gives so much
broader and more normal a vision Of
things.
"In Great Britain, which was the
storm center of the suffrage movement
for some years before the war, hun
dreds of bitter, active opponents have
confessed their conversion to woman
suffrage on account Of the war ser
vices Of women. Already, three great
provinces of Canada, Manitoba, Alberta
and Saskatchewan, have given univera-
al suffrage to taheir women In sheer
generous appreciation of their work
Even Mr.. Asquith, world renowned fpr

amentary suffrage for British women

The followers of the Master
Looked on a wondrous sight,
When they beheld Him walking
Ger stormy waves at night.
And all of them were frightened,
For they were sore dismayed,
Until they heard Him calling,
'Tis l, be not afraid
Of all of those disciples
But one obeyed the call
To come" although the summons
Were meant to reach them all.
What though his faith did fail him,
When he the waves defied-
He found a Hand to save him
For he was one who tried.
III.
May l, when night is falling,
When storms are gathering near,
Look out across the waters
And see that He is there.
And if my feet are sinking
Beneath the surging tide,
Remember, oh, my Master,
That l was one who tried.

CORPORATIONS GETTING WISER

1t looks as though the great companies were at last
awakng to the fact that tpays to divide of the
profits of their prosperity with their employees Time
was, and not very long ago either when company no
matter what profits is making simply took to itself
all there in the business without thought of the
dton of its employees
The more recent idea is to share with the employees
of the extra profits arising from unusual conditions
AS matter Of fact prosperous times mean generally
higher cost of living, and this is the same as reducing
wages.
An advance of ten per cent in the cost of living is
about the collecting ten per cent income tax
from the wage for takes about all his income
live at any time. companies generally would adopt this
rule there would be fewer strikes and less trouble when
there was real reason for keeping wages down.
Laboring men sensible, generally and the reason
they strike forhgher wages at times is because they get
of the benefits of high prices and unusual prosperity
unless they do they granted raise when times
good they would not object strenuousy to lower
wages when times we're hard
In Montana yesterday the miners and smelling en-
poyes at Butte Anaconda and Great Falls were granted
raise of 25 cents day, long copper remains at rs
cents pound All the larger mining companies in Mich
gan also gave their advance of ten per cent
their wages during the time copper remains up and the
companies will not miss it.

With all the talk about Roosevelt being the possible
republican candidate for president no one has so far
called attention to the fact that it would be his third
term if elected There are thousands of voters in the
United States to whom this would mean refusal to vote
for him. At the same time that this feature is being over
looked Some of the political journals are working over
time calling attention to the democratic suggestion of one
term for the president and insisting that Wilson stand
by the one term plank in the platform. If one term is
enough for democrat two should at least satisfy a
republican.
