Wages for Wives

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In framing programme to accom-
plish the economic independence Of all
workers. whether of hand or brain the
American Labor party made one fatal
orniss sion-an omission, that is if it aims
at the liberation of all labor
In other words, the Labor party makes no
demand for adequate wage for house
wives. Is the Labor party satisfied with
the present economic status of housewives?
Does it think that eternal washing and
ironing, baking and brewing, sweeping and
dustng, not to mention nursing, mending
and child-tendng, mere childs play!
Now that the Labor party admits that the
individual standard of wages has come to
stay-equal pay for equal work-should it
not recognize housewives as workers? Un-
less it wishes to see its male members
economically handicapped, it must demand
that the work Of housewives be adequately
remunerated.
The whole trouble is that the men Of
the Labor party do not see, where they
get off," They do not see that so long
they are willing that housewives shall
work for love and gratuities they are
really lowering the economic standard of
the whole working class.
l should like to ask the men Of the Labor
party, Mr. Editor, if they intend to continue
the gratuity system. where they expect to
get the money for it? Can men do twice
as much work in the same time as the
women competitors, beside them! Can they
live on half the wages their women CO.
workers earn? Or do they expect house
wives to go out into industry, earn their
own wage and perform their above named
duties in their leisure CD time?
What are your plans, gentlemen? We
housewives would like to hear from YOU.

The Mauve Terror
ent time

There have been all kinds of terrors
in Russia. There was a Black Terror
in the old days of the Czar; and Red
Terror when the Red Guards succeeded
to power; and White Terror when the
anti Bolshevists invaded Finland. 1t is
a new and prettier horror that America
contributes--in the columns of "The New
Republic" 1t is the Red Guard menace
in terms; all the terrors Of Petrograd
waved before US and pictured as our
possible fate; but waved and pictured
so moderately and calmly and wisely
that its color cannot possibly hold. 1t
fades gently, imperceptibly, into really
beautiful tone. One draws up a chair
and listens entranced while this voice
of culture discusses cutters running
blood as if they were a new kind of di-
rect primary.
One can never tell when the threat
will pop out. 1t comes at the end
or in the middle of almost any article
An editorial paragraph is explaining
how necessary is food for Europe "What
would it profit the overburdened British
and French and Italian taxpayers to
secure financial reparauon from the
Central Powers if the revolution pros
pered and abolished taxpayers along
with the property and privileges out of
which they pay taxes?" exclaims the
writer. The revolution is pictured as
rolling westward so rapidly that the
peace conference may have "to trans
form itself into an international COM
mttee Of public safety" The reader
shudders with despair--to be relieved a
moment later by the news that "there is
doubtless some cxaggeration in this view
Of the state Of Europe" But---famine
must be avoided.
This is clear reasoning. at any rate
The bogy is flashed in our faces for a
specific purpose, to make US hurry food
to Europe. Inferentially the policy ad-
vocatcd is to halt the revolution some
where east Of the Vistula--or at any
rate east Of the Seine and Sandy Hook
We pale, but we understand.
How square this, however, with an
other wave Of the bogy-man ii few pages

later? A leading article says, "Let Us
Have Patience" And why? SO that
the apparent power Of those imperial
istic Prime Ministers, Lloyd George,
Clemenceau and Orlando-"a apparently
they are nearer to possessing a truly
imperial authority than any group OF
political chiefs since the days of the
Caesar" s"-can be gradually undermined
and reduced to it's real nothngness by
Mr.. Wilson's appeal to the masses of
Western Europe. Which may be trhe
ambiguous in itself but is speedily
cleared up in these final sentences:
But the process takes time and the
menace of a Red Terror constitutes no
sufficient reason for bringing it suddenly
and prematurely to close. For if the
Red Terror did not hover in the back
ground as a genuine alternative there
would be small chance of liberal and
democratic settlement of the war
There is the dilemma which "The New
Republic" holds out to the Caesars of
Paris "The Red Terror or the Four
teen Points! Choose which you will
have'
1t is dramatic scene Unfortunately,
it does not fit in exactly with the logic
of the famine plea. For why smother
the Bolshevist with food if you need him
alWe and kicking to hover over Paris
and persuade justice and right out of
Messrs. Lloyd George, Clemenceau and
Orlando? What may also weaken the
plea and save this trio of tyrants from
surrendering instantly to it's threat is the
point we began with You cannot toy
with Red Terror, put it down and
take it up whenever convenient and
have it stay really red. And while we
have no doubt that the Caesars of Paris
are, like all Caesars, easily fright
ened, it is little too much to expect
them to be bowled over by Mauve Ter
ror threatening rivers of gore in Har-
ward accent.

The Life of a Jelly6sh

In recent lecture to children at the
Royal Institution, London, Professor
Darcy w. Thompson told Of jellyfish
known as Granny that was rescued by
Sir John Graham Dalyell and kept alive
in sea water. Granny, according to
Professor Thompson, was carefully tend
ed by Sir John and fed regularly on one
half mussel fortnight. She throve ex-
ceedingly under this kind attention. Six
hundred of her offspring were known.
On the death of Sir John she passed to
the care of an Arctic explorer and was
bequeathed by him to another scientific
man. Granny outlived four protectors
and died at last, on October II, 1897 at
the authentic age Of siXty-seven years,
because of the neglect or ill-treatment of
a botanist
Professor Thompson did not say so,
but he left it to be assumed that had the
ncglectful botanist been as careful and
attentive as was Sir John Dalyell
Granny might yet be alive, in which
case she would be no less than ninety
eight years old, and assuming that she
was at least two when Sir John found
her, which seems probable she would be
we'll past the century mark.
She might have lived to be the very
jellyfish from whom William Randolph
Hearst saved the toad last winter on the
Palm Beach sands, as reported by Mayor
Hylan. rAnd that would have made her
immortal.

royal houses Of Europe 1t seems that
an edition of the Almonach was lust
ready to go to press when there was
suddenly 4 great mortality among the
royal heads of Europe, and the editors
of the Almonoch dc Gotho faced the
necessity of making over" just at
press time-and only an editor knows
what a narrowing experience that is. To
make matters worse, d lot of names had
to be eliminated, and, no new ones com
ing in to take their places, a great hole
was left in the forms. From the royal
houses of Germany alone, such houses as
the Hohenzollerns, the Wittelsbachs Of
Bavaria, the Zachringers of Baden, the
Coburgs and the Schaumberg-Lippes,
2lS rclgnlng princes are missing; and
when one considers the casualties among
royalty in Austria-Hungary, Greece,
Bulgaria and Turkey the troubles of the
editors of the Alnonach may be i'm
agined
The German Democracy Bulletin sees
oniy cause for amusement in this situa-
ton, and says:
"of course, it does not compensate en-
tlroly for the sacrifices which hundreds
OF thousands of better men had to suffer
because these 278 highnesscs of divine
right were permitted to become ordinary
mortals, but it is nevertheless one fruit
OF our victory"

while in France it cannot be bought for

cash can buy it.
These unspeakabes have their propa-
ganda system working now more than ever
before. Yesterday heard two American
soldiers talking about how rough the French
were with the people of the occupied terri
tory-how they actually took their chick

thought it was terrible. This is just an in
stance of the result of Boche propaganda.

''The Boche have not yet started to de-

What has man done that only he

There .noves no anger. no grim doubt
No envy of immortal things.
The night-wind murmurs of the sea
With yeiled music ceasclessly
That to my shaken spirit sings
From their frail nest the robins rouse,
In your pungent darkness stirred,
Twittering low drowsy word
And me you shelter, even me-
In your quetncss you house
The wind, the woman, and the bird.
