TRAVEL ON JOURNEY ALONE
Occasions When Men and Women May
Not Accompany Each Other in
Paths OF Pain.

The difference between men and
women is the difference between
birth and deafa. I had thought that
the profound differences between men
and women became trivial In the face
Of their still profounder similarity,
But now 1t seems to me that our deep
est experience Is giving life and their
intensest moment is when they are
called on by war to go out and destroy
the lives for which we have risked our
own.
Man plays a very small part in the
supreme adventure Of birth. When
woman goes down to death to give life
she goes alone. Man is nothing 10 her
then. Her husband, the father of the
child to be born, cannot share in her
pain. Her intensest moment she lives
by herself. The great miracle of birth
is no concern Of his, and he can only
shrink back, frightened witness, and
wait and wait interminably and pray
that all is well. The great experience
for her, and for him only the permis-
sion to wait.
When men go out to fight they, too,
go alone. We cannot 60 with them;
we only wait while they risk their
lives that other men may die. Men
and women go alone to their supreme
adventures.-Mary Heaton Worse, In
Century Magazine.

DON'T TALK OF MISTAKES
Worrying Over Errors, and Complain
ing About Them, ls About the
Worst Occupation Imaginable.

It's poor policy to tell the person
at the next desk that one is SO much
out on balance, or that Mr.. John
Smiths mail has been sent to Mr..
William Brown. While discussing
the whereabouts Of the difference in
the balance, the time consumed could
we'll be applied to trying to locate
/ the missing figures and instead of
bemoaning the fact that Mr.. Smiths
mail will be opened by Mr.. Brown,
the sensible girl will write brief
note to that gentleman, politely re-
questing him to forward Mr.. Smiths
communications to the correct adj
dress.
Worrying over errors and asking
what to do about them is waste of
time. The person at the next desk
cannot help you any, and in nine
cases out Of ten will not have any
sympathy for you; so the girl who
is anxious to correct any mistake she
discovers in her work must rely upon
herself to do it. However, if she
finds she cannot satisfactorily adj
just the difficulty, then let her bring
it to the attention Of higher au-
thority, whose word settles the mat
ter for all time.

We trust that the final chapter
has been written in the controversy
over the educational clinics that
have been conducted by Prof. W.
Franklin Jones, professor of ed
ucation al the State University. A
special meeting was held in Sioux
Falls last week by the state board
OF regents, and after a careful hear
ing they decided that there was
nothing in the evidence to reflect
upon the ability or character of DIR.
Jones, but to permit such clinics
to be held at the state institutions
would esta blish dangerous pre-
cedent. 1t was therefore ordered
that no clinics involving any ex
aminations for sex hygiene shall be
conducted except bya regularly
licensed physician.

The women who are pushing the
equal suffrage cause in this state
seem to have very peculiar notions.
Senator Asquith introduced bill
to grant the women limited suf
frage, but when the bill came up
for consideration action was in
definitely postponed on motion of
the introducer of the bill. The
reason given was that it was a
man made bill and did not have
the backing Of the suffraeists. They
urged that limited suffrage would
be q drag on the general constitr-
tioual suffrage amendment to be
voted on at the next election. The
general opinion would be that a
limited suffrage, if wisely used,
would give them a power and pres
tige in forcing full political rights.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

The reports that are coming ID
from the big stock ranges in the
western part of this state, North
Dakota and Montana indicate that
the live stock loss during the storms
Of the first of this month were
much heavier than at frat sup-
posed, and will mount we'll into the
millions of dollars. Some esti-.
mates place the losses as high asI
20 per cent. The greater part of
this loss is purely the fault of the
rancherH, as many of them provide
no shelter for their stock, and put
up very little feed, forcing the stock
to pick their living from the range
all winter. In cases Of this kind
the loss causes sympathy for the
stock rather than for the owner.
