SHE JUST GETS 1T.
Whom q Woman Makes Up Her Mind
That She Wants Thing.

The main difference between men
and women is nowhere so marked as
1t 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. lie
may have small abilities and large
character. In a man the two things ap-
pear to be entirely independent of one
another.
But a womans character is deter
mined by her ability, and her ability is
determined by her character In real
ity, therefore, women are much more
simple than men. 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
proportionate measure of each subject
to variations, new combinations are
constantly being presented. The vari-
GUS things which go to make up the
motive power of a woman, on the other
hand, are more closely related. Won
en-, therefore, concentrate more than
men, although they do not seem to do
so, the process being unconscious.
That explains why, If woman
wants thing and a man doesn't want
her to have it, she always gets it. When
man wants thing he plans to get it
just as much as he can through the or
derly processes of his mind and will.
When a woman wants d thing she
makes no plan at all-but she gets 1t
much more often than the man be-
cause everything in her whole make
up conscious and unconscious - is
working for it.
II 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 compari-
son, is soap box on wheels.-T. L. NJ

it is much easier to get together in
the future.
This strike should be lesson to
other crafts that are working long
and weary hours for starvation
wages. 1t should be proof that
when men organize and agree to
make a stand to better their work
ing conditions that it can be Sc
cured through trade unionis:n,
Mutual aid organized by the COM
panies and other organizations with
as many different names do not in
crease wages or better conditions,
they are merely brought into ex-
istence to make the employees think
that their employers are doing
something for them for nothing
Unionism is the only way out of
low wages, that is if the men or
ganize thoroughly and then have
enough confidence in their fellow
workers, to stay organized until it
brings results.
The street car strike is a good IL
lustration of what can be accom-
plished if the men hold fast to their
organization. Other organizations
have done it, the street car men
and the city fremen have lately
been benefited and others can do il
if they will. Get organized that s
the thing to do and the sooner you
do it the better for you. The large
corporations of every description
have been making enormous profits
and the laboring class is entitled tc
their share. The only way to get
j it is to become affiliated with a la.
Dor union of your craft.

After three mee tines | determined
that the suhiect was too large and
too dangerous for me to give ali
answer without expert legal advice.

tive of the Manufacturers that
must have week S time t. secure
such advice from our attorneys
This idea is tffered to do away
with the much discussed "Open

LINCOLN F0RGAVE HIM.
One Man Who Got a Pardon Without
Even Asking For 1t.

@NSlt FNoNthS . Vt iAs
Among the innumerable nuisances
and "cranks" who called on Lincoln at
the White House were many who
sought to win favor by showing that
they had been the first to suggest his
nomination as president. One Of these
men, says Francis +. Browne in 1.-THE
Everyday Life of Abraham Lincoln" >"
was the editor Of weekly paper pub
lished In a little village In Missouri
He told the president that he was the
man who first suggested Lincolns
name for the presidency and, pulling
from his pocket an old, worn, defaced
copy of his paper, exhibited to the pres
ident an item on the subject.
"Do you really think, said Lincoln,
that that was the cause of my nomi-
nation?"
Certainly" said the editor 1.-The
suggestion was so opportune that 1t
was at once taken up by other papers,
and you were nominated and elected"
"Ah, well" said Lincoln with sigh,
Il am glad to see you and to know
that, but you will have to excuse me.
am just going to the war department
to see Mr.. Stanton"
"Well," said the editor, Il will walk
over with you."

so characteristic of him, took up his
hat and said, Come alongn

secretary's Office Mr.. Lincoln turned to

Child Labor Day
A Success Last Monday Night

The entertainment given under
the auspices of the Parent Teach
ers Association last Monday night
was grand success and attended
by hundreds from all parts of the
city. Monday was the day selected
by the National Child Labor com
mltttee and to be known as Child
Labor day. The Parent Teachers
Association secured Mr.. George
Hamilton as their principal speaker
His talk on child labor was very
interesting and perhaps surprising
to some of the audien e who have
never had the opportunity to listen
to a speaker on this subject. Mrs.
Weaver. deputy workshop and fac
tory inspector also spoke on child
labor in this state. Mr.. Ellis Reed
closed the evening program by pre-
senting morality pageant. This
was given to awaken the public so
that they may assist in the work of
keeping the children in the schools
instead of the factories. 1t is sad
that the entertainment might be re
peated by the teachers association.

THE Painters are claiming juris
diction over the plumbers on radi-
ator work. The painters should
have claimed that long time ago
and they should look after that
work before large contracts are let.
The plumbers have always painted
plumbing work especially on small
jobs that they say it is hardly worth
bothering a painter with. We
think it no more than proper for
painters to do this work if the Job
Is large enough for a painter to
profit thereby. It is hoped that

LID Off" On Strike Story.

Detroit, Feb. 2 The lid is off
the story OF how striking pattern
makers secured their eight hour
day and increased wages. These
unionists suspended work year
ago and during the past summer
they have been jailed on Injunction
proceeding and assaulted by police.
The Manufacturers association as
sisted employers, but when these
influences realized that the pattern
makers were determined to stick a
quiet conference was arranged last
October at which time it was agreed
that the union would call off all
picketing and employers would e.
tabllsh the eight-hour day on OF
before January l 1917, and that
neither side was to make a public
statement. The union maintained
its secrecy pledge, but the ma1u
facturers immediately cegan an ad-
vertising campaign for pattern
makers and stated that the strike
was called off. These employers,
however, were glad to 'Iet loose"
and the shorter work day is inaugu-
rated in practically every shop.
Wages have also incrsased from 10
to 10 cents an hour.

THE recent street car strike in
this city has demonstrated the fact
that the labor unions are great
factors in securing better working
condition for the working men and
women. 1t was not until the men
on our city lines went on strike,
did the people know how little com
pensation they were getting for
their services The wages that
these men were getting and which
was announced after the men quit
work surprised the public in gen
eral 1t was common thing to
hear manufacturers, merchants
and business men throughoutthe
the city expressing themselves on
how the men lived and provided
for their families on the money
they were getting
This in itself aroused the public
feeling to such an extent that had
the cars been operated by the com
pany continually, it is not likely
that anyone would have patron
lied the street car company. Pub
lie feeling in this strike was so
strong that even the people who
never extended sympathy before
were with the street car men heart
and soul. We heard of men who
have been non union men all their
lives and never could be approached
on unionism were with the strikers
and more so working men who
have scqbbed on other men at one
time or other, got out their pro-
tests against the company This
assisted materially in securing re-
cognition from the company and Of
course the street car employees ap-
preciate everything that was done
for their welfare. The strike has
been won and the Amalgamated
Street and Electric Railway Asso-
citation has been recognized by the
Cincinnati, Dayton & Toledo Trac-
tion Company. The recognition of
the association paves the way for
the adjustment of the wage scale.
This means that the wages of the
men will be increased in the near
future. Just what the increase
will be can not be said, but the men
can rest assured that with the
agreement so far signed up by the
company and the backing of the
Amalgamated Association an in
crease in wages is sure to come.
We have always found that when
company or corporation makes an
agreement with labor union, they
seldom oppose an increase in wages
for the. men or hesitate to give
heir employees better working and
sanitary conditions. They both
earn to know each other better and

STRIKING MINERS
ARE STILL OUT

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct 10
While all news sources this morning
indicated that the miners walkout in
this section was at an end, when the
time came for the whistles to blow
this morning the situation was found
to be entirely different
No miners train left Terre Haute
this morning for the reason that no
miners were on hand to go to work
and the mine officials who use these
trains were compelled to seek other
means of transportation.
1t is estimated that 5000 men are
idle in the Terre Haute field Not a
wheel turned in the West Clinton, In
terstate, Boyle, Beckett, Shirkie, Jack
son Hill or Murphy mines and belated
reports during the morning too, indi-
Gated that there was no work at the
Grand Clovally or Fayette mines. The
officials of the miners organization
seem dazed by the situation Twice
they have said that the miners would
be back in the mines on the following
day and twice their predictions have
gone wrong. AS the day progressed
the determine ton on the part of the
miners to stay out seemed to be more
generally reflected in each group of
men.
