SHE JUST GETS IT.
When a Woman Makes Up Her Mind
That She Wants a Thing.

The main difference between men
and is nowhere so marked as
it is in the distinction between charac-
ter and ability.
A mans ability is entirely separate
from his character. A man may have
genius and no character at all. He
may have small abilities and large
character. In a man the two things ap-
pear to be entirely independent of one
another.
But a woman's character is deter
mined by her ability, Ssld her ability is
determined by her character. In real
ity, therefore. women are much more
simple than mon. although they do not
appear to be SO. Women are more
complicated outwardly than men. They
offer more superficial variety. But
closer observation and association
among them tend to make them more
alike.
Men, on the other hand. grow more
complicated as you come to know them
better. This is because, their abilities
and characters being unrelated and the
uIOpOTllOIdIe measure u Each SUBJECT
% variations. new combinations are
constantly being presented. The vari-
GUS things which go to make up the
motive power If a woman, on the other
hand. are more closely related. Wom-
en-. therefore. concentrate more than
men. although they do not seem to do
so. the process being unconscious.
That explains why, if a woman
wants a thing and a man doesn't want
Ter to have it. she always gets it. When
/ man wants a thing be plans to get 1t
iust as much as he can through the or
lerly processes of his mind and will.
When a woman wants a thing she
makes no plan at all-but she gets il
much more often than the man be-
'ause everything in her whole make
up conscious and unconscious = is
working for it.
If you want to see conservation of
energy and the perfection of efficiency
watch the working of that perfectly
cO-ordinated machine-a woman-get-
ting a thing from a man that she
wants. A Corliss engine, in eompafi
son, is a soap box on w'ieels.-T. L. M

A THEORY AND A CONDITION.

Senator Hardwick of Georgia, who
has not been Of much assistance to
tie administration in the prosecution
CT the war has introduced in the SEN
ate bill providing that no citizen
STALL be sent beyond the territorial linn
its of the United Seates for military
service without his consent.
A proposal Of this kind is calculated
t. encourage and delight every skulker
and Stacker in the United States, and

sage the Kaiser could summons one
more council of empire and inform his
military leaders that Germany's objec-
tive had been practically accomplished
and that within a few months the de-
tails of collecting the cost of the war
rom the United States would be com
plated and in operation.
According to Senator Hardwick' 5
philosophy, no obligation rests upon
tie citizens of a republic to defend it

NO MORE CHEAP LABOR.

During the past decade or so the
United States has had a great deal of
its labor done by foreigners. Thous>
ards of these have gone back to their
home country to participate in the war.
At the conclusion Of the war it is
practically certain that immigration
from these European countries to the
United States will be very much less
than it was just previous to the war
What does this mean to the American
farmer? It means labor will cost
more. 1t is true here in the South we
have utilized to a less extent this for
eign labor than in any other section in
the United States, and we will natur-
ally be affected less along this line than
any other part of the country. But like
water seeking its own level, labor will
go where it can get the most money.
We have an illustration of this fact in
the great numbers of negroes who have
left the South for the north and east
during the past few months.
The point we wish to bring out here
is that our Southern farmers should
make up their minds that the day of
cheap labor is gone, and we must adapt
ourselves to the new conditions. We
will be forced to pay the higher wages
and do better farming, and market our
produce to better advantage in order
to make our farming operations the
most profitable Southern Farming,

garded compulsory service contrary to
the spirit of free institutions.
Whether a soldier fights his coun-
try's battles on American soil or for
.eign soil is merely incidental The only
question involved is which battle
ground affords the best hope of final
victory. 1t is certainly the case in this
war at least
The United States is going to defeat
Germany or be defeated by Germany.
There is no getting away from that
fact. Because of its unreadiness to
protect its interests as a neutral, it
has been drawn into the war as an ally
#of nations in Europe, and its sole hope
Of victory lies in merging its own
power with the power of its allies.
And unless this power he merged
with that of its allies at the point
where the German pressure is vital, it
is almost a foregone conclusion thas
Germany must win the war and dom
mate the world, and with German dom
nation American, freedom on land ami
sea must perish.
In four months we have learned
that victory is not to be had by merely
aiding the allies. but that the United
States will be required to put forth its
utmost strength in man power, financial
power and food power to achieve the
objective Of the war.
To confne American military opera
tons to American territory would mean
t. await Germany's crushing the allies
in Europe and then fight her superior
sea power upon our own soil, and that
will mean to lose the war and pay the
! bill.
This is the practical phase Of our
participation in the war and against it
no fne-spun theories can stand
Senator Hardwick is an able man, 4
man of conviction and man of ability,
but his craftsmanship is unequal to
the problem which the United States
must solve If it prevailed, it would
precipitate irretrievable disaster upon
the country. His counsel is worthless
in the present crisis and can give en-
enlargement and comfort only to the
common enemy of Standardization
