WOMANHOOD IN THE WAR
AND AFTER.

What is to be the status of tn,
American woman when this wal
is overt This is question that
is exercising the minds of a great
many people these days. For a
generation now she has been con-
tending for equal political rights,
and of late years she has been
coming into her own In this partic-
ular. For a number of years, too,
she has been gradually invading
the ranks of business, though not
to any alarming extent. But with
the calling of the millions of men
to the army, the call has at last
come to woman to demonstrate
that she, is as members of her sex
have long eontended, capable of
shouldering the business load and
bearing it smanfully-"
1t is no uncommon sight now to
see women doing what has always
been considered "men's work. "
Not such as elerking, bookkeep-
ing and all forms of clerical work,
but hard labor, work that until
lately it was not thought women
were capable of performing. We
see them on public works of vari-
GUS kinds, In factories and work
shops; and Just lately a great
steel magnate was quoted as say
ing that he would not be surprised
if before long he had to take on a
thousand women to take the plae-
es of men drafted for the army.
And to the credit Of the women
be it said that in the great major
ity of instances they are making
good. They are not only devel-
Oping an ability for work and bu-
siness that a few years ago would
have surprised the world, but they
really appear to enjoy the work
There may be at the bottom of
their success the long suppressed
desire to show themselves indie
pendent of man for a subsistence.
If this be the case they have reas-
on to be gratifed, as they are fast |
becoming a recognized factor in
all the activities of life.
But, when the present emergen-
cy is passed, viii woman resume
her sphere of semi-dependent and /
home body; or viii she hold tena-
ciously to what she has gained and /
refuse to be ousted from her re-
Gently won vantage3 In case she
should consent to resume her old
status, the world would soon re-
adjust itself and human life would
continue to flow on much as be-
fore. But in the latter event, the
entire business fabric of the world
viii have to be remodeled and new
adjustments and new alignments
made The addition of few mil
lion female workers will work

Ia change that viii call for care

But perhaps the most vital ques-
ion in this connection is that of

THE HOME

What is your idea Of the ideal home?
Is it mansion of brick and stone?
I A great house filled with servants, oriental
lgs and blase guests?
Is it an apartment where the janitor reigns
nd the elevator sometimes runs?
Maybe it's place like this
"a cottage with q front porch and a perambu-
tor on the porch a parlor with photograph IN
ne parlor; pantry shelves with preserves on the
antry shelves, and q potato patch in the back
ard
4 That's the sort of homes a visitor at Dearborn,
Itch, found, homes scattered around the home OF
enry Ford.
Somehow or other we just thought that Henry
ould want to live among people who had front
orches with perambulators, parlors, monographs,
antry shelves loaded and potato patches grow
lg
But Dearborn need not get chesty about its
)llection of ideal homes. There are many right
ere in Bismarck, and there are babies for the
erambulators too.

KIPLING SAYS TRULY

Nothing else under heaven matters today ex-
cept that the war shall go on to victory" declared
Rudyard Kipling here today in a striking and pic
turesque speech in advocacy of war savings. "The
money we loan to the government helps to set our
land and our world Free" continued Mr. Kipling
Our security for our loan is rot only the whole Of
the British Empire but also the whole of civiliza-
ton which has pooled it's resources in men, money
and material to carry on this war to victory"
What is the personal aspect Of the case for you
and me? We are fighting for our lves the lives Of
else

into actual slavery such as the Germans have es-
tablished by force Of their arms in large parts of
Europe. ...

of forced labor under lash or at the point Of the
bayonet, with dogs death and dogs burial at
the end of it. ~
"We are fighting that men, women and chill
dren may not be tortured burned, and mutilated in
the public streets, as has happened in this town
and in hundreds of others. And we will 20 on
fighting till the race who have done these things
are in no position to continue or repeat their Of
Tense.
IF for any reason whatever we fall short of
lvictory-and there is no halfway house between
victory and defeat-what happens to us? This :
Every relation, every understanding, every
|decency upon which civilization has been so anx-
iously built up will go-will be washed out, because
lit will have been proved unable to endure. The
whole idea of democracy at bottom is what
the Hun fights against-will be dismissed from
mems minds, because it will have been shown in
Icapable of maintaining itself against the Hun. 1t
will die; and it will die discredited, together with
every belief and practice that is based on it.
"The Hun ideal, the Huns root-notions of life
will take its place throughout the world. Under
that dspensation man will become once more the
natural prey, body and goods, of his better-armed
neighbor. Women will be the mere instrument for
continuing the breed; the vessel of mans lust
and mans cruelty; and labor will become thing
to be knocked on the head if it dares to give
trouble, and worked to death if it does not. And
from this order of life there will be no appeal, no
possibility of any escape. This is what the Hun
means when he says he intends to impose German
Kultur-which is the German relgon-upon the
world. This is precisely what the world has banded
itself together to resist staY, "5-Vasy City Times

Gtrmapy to better their Condition; some to escape
from the crushing burden Of militarism. Neither
in fact nor sentiment is there justification to
cherish Germany above the United States, and
above all, should they repudiate the present Ger
man military clique absolutely responsible for the
war of nations originally, and the murder of Amer
lean citizens that compelled this country to enter
the war. If they so loved Germany, what in the
name of heaven are they doing here? Why, at
the outbreak of the war; did they not travel back
to Germany and fight her battles when there was
chance to do so? What kind of people are they

WAR REVENUE IN TWO PAYMENTS

Mr.. McAd0o, it is reported, is opposed to Con-
gresham McCormicks bill to divide income tax
payments in two installments. He is said to be of
the opinion that most corporations have made pro-
vision in advance to pay the tax, and reference is
made to the fact that certificates of indebtedness
to the amount of 81 ,50O00O,000 have already been
purchased for the purpose of meeting the federal
levy. 1t is concluded, therefore, that there is no
necessity of giving relief to the taxpayers.
Mr. McAdoo may be perfectly correct in his
estimate of the situation with respect to the ma
jority of large corporations, though even in their
case a scheme for divided payments would doubt
ton must be quite different with thousands Of
business and professional men whose tax may not
exceed few hundred dollars. They could not
foresee definitely what their tax would be, and
in the vast aorty of cases it is doubtful whether
they have laid aside any funds for its payment.
These persons will have to draw on their current
income.
Moreover, as has been pointed out, the pay
ment becomes due at time when every patriotic
citizen is straining his resources to purchase Lib
erty bonds. 1t is unquestionable that the burden
will be heavy for a large number of people.
There is no good reason why the proposed re-
| lief should not be granted The governments need
for funds is not so pressing as to require lump
payment. If the proceeds of the new loan are not
sufficient to fill the gap the government issue
certificates of Indebtedness to tide along till the
second installment is paid. 1t is now estimated,
moreover, that the federal levy will produce nearly
81, 000,0 900 900 more than the amount which was
previously anticipated, $2,500,000,000 Under
these circumstances the government can we'll af-
ford to collect the income tax revenue on the de-
ferred payment principle.-Chicago Tribune.

THE TEUTON MADNESS

58 Some weeks ago, there came a cable story 10
ne effect that the Germans had captured several
.mericans and left their mutiated bodies in front
{ the trenches held by our boys.
Now comes story told in letter by Adjutant
/, C. Starbard of the Salvation Army, who says
nat wounded sergeant in a hospital told HIM
nat he saw the Germans capture three American
oldiers and cut their threats. Such atrocities,
dds Mr.. Starbard, are perpetrated by brutes espe-
!ally selected to ntimidate by frightfulness.
1t is Of high Importance that the truth or tai :
ty of such reports be established beyond doubt.
is even worth while that the authorities at
Washington take particular pains to determine
aeir truth or falsity. The continuance Of such
tories is loaded with horrible possibilities, there
re SO many exposed German Threats in this
ountry.
n Moreover, if cutting the threats of American
risoners is, indeed, part of the German war policy,
Eor intimidating purposes or any other, the fact
iii and ought to strongly affect Americas atti-
lde toward Germany at the peace table,
III We E,ve amongst us Americans who struggle
TX preserve sympathy for the German people as
y distinguished from their government, Americans
/ :ho believe that the people of Germany are merely
Misguided by education and misled by their war
,rds, Americans who have a sort of hazy idea
nat civilization is sacrificing bleeding and dying
Il this war partly with the aim of ultimate benefit
j the people of Germany themselves.
X But people who, through ignorance, BRITISH
ess, or subservience as followers of autocracy, or
.om any other cause, stands for a government
lat butchers helpless captives hogs are slaugh-
cred is without the pale of human sympathy.
Such people is maniacal, and is to be treated
such by every nation that sits at the peace table
", establish order and justice throughout the
orld. A people that believes in and supports de-
berate murder as war policy must be put be-
ond the possibility of making war. Moreover, be-
lg mad, it should be isolated, confined and con-
ned and controlled as are Individual nlaniacs, for
he common good Of all other peoples.
We mean just exactly that, as nation partici-
ating on an equality with other nations in the
orld's affairs, the nation of throatcutters should
barred, until completely cured of its barbarlsm.
ermany should be interned in Germany.

STUTSMAN FOR JUDGE

There has been very general expression of
hope, particularly since the Nonpartisan conven-
ton, that w. H. Stutsn1an of Mandan, could be in
duced to become candidate for associate justice
of the state supreme court to succeed Chief JUS
tice Bruce, who, to the general regret of all who
know him we'll, has decided not to run for re-elec
ton.
Two years ago great many friends of Mr..
Stutsman urged him to run for this office, for
they felt with his ability as lawyer and his spen-
did judicial temperament he would make an ideal
Judge Other friends, knowing the great work
Mr. Stutsnan was doing as chairman of the rail-
road commission, threw their influence with HIM
to stand as candidate for commissioner again,
and, prevailing lost the chance of the state having
this man of sterling character and the utmost
fealty to duty on the higher bench.
1t is not known what Mr.. Stutsman's views are
regarding such candidacy, but he can be assured
that his entry into the contest would be a great
satisfaction to all those who desire man of the
highest integrity and legal ability as the new men,
Der Of the supreme court at this time.-Fargo
