WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE. = Last

WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE. - Last
evening talked with young lady
who has come to Chicago to prepare
for a part with a moving picture
company. She is forced to live in the
loop and to take her meals down
town. She tells me that the leading
restaurants in town refuse to serve
a woman who is unesCOrted, except
ing at certain hours.
Now what l fail utterly to UNDER
stand is why a woman, capable Of
earning a good living-a woman who
must necessarily come in contact
with all sorts Of people Of both sexes,
who is DESTROYS Of taking her meals
in a high-cIass restaurant and who
has good United States money with
which to buy her fOOd-shOuld not
have the privilege, so long as she
conducts herself in a dignitied man
ner, of choosing her dining place,
without the escort of a man. Does
the mere presence of a man at your
table give the woman the right to
take what is hers by right Of the
free laws of our country?
The writer fails to see how laws
can be made so unjust for the wOm-
an. The very male presence which
makes it legal, lawful, respectable
and dignified for woman to exercise
her rights as a citizen of the city and
of the United States is the very thing
that year by year is forcing woman
into the commercial world to try to
earn for herself the living which
most men are unwilling or incapable
Of earning for her. am not dyed

ing in Chicago for eleven years, and

city of ours, hundreds of women who
feel as keenIy and deeply this insult
which has been thrust upon us by
some governing head of the city.

colossal proportions. II rests solely
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission TO avert such an occurrence,
and not merely avert the occurrence
but sweep aside and keep aside the
danger OF it This can be done only by
granting TO the railroads rate Increases
which will insure dividends Of at least
4 per cent.
The Commission promised last
spring, when it granted rate increases

earnings closely and act II changing

creases. The commission should act
without intercossiOn from the roads.
Let it exercise initiative and more fore
sight than 1t has displayed many times
IN the past.
Four per cent. Is a dubious return
upon some OF the best investments the
country affords when the factor Of
war taxation Is taken into account. AT
various times the proposal has been
made that the Government guarantee
a return upon railway investment
There can be no need Of that If the

The Washington dispatches have
pointed out that unless railway rates
are increased this fan reduction Of
dividends will become necessary In
many instances, and II such reductions
bring dividends below per cent. a
year a large number OF bonds now
legal investments for institutions and
trustees will automatically become il
legal.
This means that savings banks, in
surance companies and similar invest
ors would have TO sell the securities
they hold and put their money in 9TH
er securities yielding per cent. or
better.
It Is computed, according to Rail
way Statistics OF the United states OF
America for the year ending June 30,
1916" that in 1915 over s2.500.0OO,OO0 Of
railway securities were held by trus-
tees, including banks. savings banks,
Insurance companies, educational and

{ private estates.
In 1914 there were 39,582,673 life
insurance policies in force In the Uni
ted states and 81 per cent. Of the as
sets behind these policies consisted OF
railway securities.
The situation today in these respects
is not materially different. Trustees
for the public hold S25O0OOOlOO0 Of

value OF every life insurance policy
rests on the worth OF railway stocks

TRUE MEASURE OF A MAN

The place to take the true measure
of a man is not in the market place
or amen corner, the forum or the field,
but by his own fireside There he lays
aside his mask, and you may learn
whether he is an imp or an angel, king
or cur, hero or humbug. / care not
what the world may say of him, wheth-
er it crowns him with bays or pelts
him with bad eggs; care not
copper what his religion or reputation
may be if his babies dread his home
coming and the better-half swallows
her heart every time she has to ask
him for five dollar bill, he is a fraud
of the first water, even though he
prays night and morning till he is
black in the face, and howls halle
lujah until he shakes the eternal hills.
But if his children rush to the front
gate to meet him and loves sunshine
illumines the face of his wife when
she hears his football, you can take it
for granted that he is pure gold his
home is a-heaven and the humbug
never gets near the white throne Of
God. He may be a rank atheist and
a red flag anarchist; he may buy votes
in blocks Of five and bet on the cleo
tion; he may deal them from the bot
tom of the deck and drink beer until
he can't tell a silver dollar from a cir
cular saw, and still be an infinitely
better man than the cowardly little
man who is all suavity in society but
who makes his home a hell-who
vents upon the heads of his helpless
wife and children an ill-nature he
would like to inflict upon his fellow
man, but dares not | can forgive
much in the mortal who would rather
have the hate of the world than the
contempt Of his wife; who would rath-
er call anger tc the eyes of the world
than fear to the face of a child. wv.

After Appomattox, in April, 1865,
the United States and the entire
American continent, north and south,
had a boom which did not exhaust it,
self until 1872. After the Franco
Prussian war, France, despite her de-
feat and the indemnity Of five billion
francs that she agreed to pay Germa-
ny, became more prosperous than ever
before in her history.
The reason for this seeming para
dox is that the activities of recon
struction are more stimulating than
those Of destruction, because they are
inspired by hope rather than vindic-
tiveness or revenge. People will al
ways work more eagerly to live than
they will to die.
In the United States, the ending of
the war will mean the dismantling Of
some munition factories and the real
location Of the labor that they now
employ but the more important and
permanent business of the country
will probably thrive
The wealth with which war has pro
vided us will permit of the refinancing
of our railways and other industrial
and distributive enterprises upon a
scale that will be adequate to our pres
ent development and the amount of
money thus put in circulation will far
exceed any profit that we may reap
from a continuance of war
The result will inevitably be great
and sound prosperity for every busi-
ness that ministers to the needs of
peaceful and intelligent people whose
ideals are those Of economic efficien-
Cyl and whose endowment is the re-
sources Of a continent.
All talk of peace panic" seems to
be unwarranted and unintelligent. If
peace comes it will bring a sounder
prosperity than that which has been
created by war-Commerce and FL
nance.
