WOMEN IN STATE OFFICES

The first woman TO be elected in

her place as Superintendent Of Pub
lie Instruction-Miss Lizzie Wooster,
spinster lawyer, publisher and educa-
tor Of the first rank; a publisher Of
text books for grade school use, she
Is n typical Kansan, speaks the Kan
sas language and will hold her own at
Topeka and reflect credit on the fe-
male element Of the proud state.
Miss Wooster has been in the pub
lie eye more or less for some time;
temporarily defeated in her patent
rights for certain text books by q
firm Of New Jersey publishers she de-
clared It her intention and did take up
the study of law; was admitted to the
bar and prepared her own briefs that
stood up under the statute judges Of
the state that produced Pres. Wilson
and won her case, hands down. New
Jersey "the Citadel Of the strong arm
Trusts"
She also fought and won an import
ant case against the railroads Of the
country when she found that the class
iication on her books was excessive;
the rate was adjusted and the case
dismissed.
Her books which are standard and
used in more than half Of the states
of this country have also been trans
lated and printed in Spanish for use in
Mexico.
This is not the first woman to get
into big place in public work but it
is the first try out in Kansas-when
Henry Allen and the new family get
the machine going, the women back
home will watch the innovation Of
one of their sex sitting in the coun-
ellis of the mighty and powowing for
place; the chances are Lizzie will
have her way most of the time.

REACTION
Saturday Evening Post

Saturday Evening Post
As to this turmoil in Central Eur
ope there is one thing that anybody
can predict with certainty-namely,
that extremists beget reaction. That
Is rs sure as the operation Of the law
Of gravitatiOn. There is q sort Of
dead center in human affairs. A viol-
emit push in one direction is followed
by q counter movement. The violent
French Revolution was followed by q
long, strong swing toward the Op-
posite pole. The much less violent
American Revolution was followed by
q much milder yet very distinct cOun-
ter action. The Puritan Revolution
was followed by Charles /. The very
mild movement that Ousted James II
and definitely established a Parlimen-
tazy supremacy in England produced
hardly q back ripple. The violence OF
the Russian Revolution Is q measure
Of the insane extreme to which Gar
ism had been carried, just as the
length to which the French Revoiu-
ton went measured the length to
which the old regime had gone in the
opposite direction.
Of all crest nations only the United
States maintained . sure equilibrium
under the shock Of war-precisely be-
cause Il had been best balanced be-
fore the war. There were nervous
hints Of the danger Of q social upset
In France and Italy. A strong party
In England preached peaeeable revOl-
ution, involving very radical changes
IN the existing system. The United
States has been most tranquil be-
cause It had most nearly kept . true
balance.
Undoubtedly BolShevism has recon-
eiled millions Of liberal-minded Rus
SLAMS to ~strOng" government, and re-
acted powerfully upon millions Of lib
eral-minded persons in Europe gener-
ally. Exactly In as much as exterem-
lists got control Of the revolutionary
movement anywhere the hope Of per
manent benefits from that movement
diminishes. Extremists Of one type
are a. bad for human progress a.
those Of the opposite type.

FOR A NEW STANDARD BEARER

The Republicans are just now
scratching their heads for a man to
fill Mr.. Roosevelt's place as the stand
ardbearer in 1920. That Teddy was the
one man on whom all factions Of the
party could agree is apparent and has
been so for several months; the war
was a great thing to bring together
any outstanding elements and react
ed to the good of the party in getting
the factions to forget their own dit-
ferences and work in union for the
larger things. Roosevelt at all times
emphasized this and was always
above party when the country stood
in danger. The east and the west
too had forgotten their party differ
ences and could have easily agreed on
the one man as their leader.
However now as there becomes q
vacancy the old claims doubtless will
be gotten out and busted up and we
may expect to find the Standpatters
aligned against the PrOgressives, the
east clamoring for an eastern man
and the west going after a western
