Mrs. Roosevelt's Pension.

The pension voted by Congress to
her husbands services to the state
And yet it would have been justified
in recognition of her own services
For during her husbands two terms
as President she presided over the
White House and met, with signal sue
cess, all the requirements of that very
difficult post. She thus served the state
herself.
"The first lady of the land" as the
Presidents wife is called, has many i'm
portant duties to perform. She is al
most as much in the public eye as he.
Her vigilance is almost as constant
as his. The White House is "the peo-
pies house." and great numbers are
entertained there The mistress is ex-
pected to make all welcome who come /;
and tact and patience and industry are
essential in the performance.
The public is sometimes unmindful.
or forgetful, of the deserts of the
wives of men who occupy high public
station. They are very considerable.
Indeed, it is not seldom the case that,
of the two, the wife is the better poll
tician. She makes more friends for
her husband than hs does for him

Minimum Wage and Retirement.

At the hearing before the Senate
education and labor committee on the
Nolan minimum wage bill testimony
was given to the effect that 1900 a
year is the lowest annual budget upon
which family of five can live in com
mon decency and comfort. This esti-
mate was based upon an inquiry cover
ing 600 families A member of the
committee asked whether in the ap-
plication of the So minimum some
thing should be done with regard to
employees not up to the standard Of
efficiency and to superannuated work
ers. Promptly the answer was given
in proper terms that the government
should protect itself by adopting re-
tirement system, which would care for
the superannuated and would permit
standard of efficiency.
The lack of retirement system is
at the root of most of the evils af-
feeting the government service. In
CAPABILITIES of pay, inadequacies Of pay
and inequitable promotions would all
be corrected if the government were
to establish method of systematic re-
tirement at the end of certain period
of service Such a plan would insure
the efficiency of the force. 1t would
attract to the service competent men
and women willing to devote them
selves to the governments work as a
career. With a retirement method in
vogue pay equalization and systematic
promotions would follow automatically
For it would be in the highest degree
inequitabde and unwise in putting all
the employees of the government upon
the. same basis as regards contribu-
ton to the retirement fund to deny
them equality of conditions.
A minimum wage for the government
workers is a necessity. The bill pro-
viding for it has passed the House. It
should be passed by the Senate at the
present session. The hope is that a
retirement bill will also be enacted be-
fore the 4th of March.

Night Sessions and Debate.

As result of the congested legis-
lative schedule and shortness of time
before adjournment the House has oc-
casionally been holding night sessions
But the other night, having arranged
for night session to be devoted to
general debate on the agricultural ap-
preparation bill, adjournment was had
an hour before the schedule time for
lack of speakers. Which suggests that
perhaps the night sessions might be
devoted to actual legislative work
rather than the general debate, With
"leave to print" members can get pub
licity for their views without stint,
and if time is precious why not let the
general debate proceed on proxy basis 7
Members who are loath to spend an
evening at the House waiting for turn
to talk would probably willingly give
up that privilege in exchange for a
page or two of the Record. With time
so precious there could be better use
for it than the monotonous recital of
written words that in any event are
to go into print for the distribution
for the sake of which the "debate" is
chiefly held

practically ended, and no public work
need be delayed further on that ac-
count. Withholding from the market
of state and municipal bonds was pure
ly voluntary, and resulted because the
making of war was the paramount
business of the nation, overshadowing
all normal requirements of the people.
While the war is ended, its cost has
not been paid in full, and next spring
there is to be another large issue of
government bonds With the sale of
these bonds the sale of state and mu-
nicipal securities would conflict.
Whether issue of state and municipal
securities in this circumstance would
be Unsuitable would have to depend on
conditions. Just as the making of war
was the paramount business of the ma
ton so long as the war lasted, so the
prevention of general unemployment.
with consequent disaster to American
industry, may be the paramount bust
ness of the immediate future.
The war has left the nation with a
stupendous debt, and there should be
no addition to it without the need be-
ing a very real one. But an addition
to the debt, however large, is to be
preferred to national industrial dis
aster.
1t would seem, therefore, that Con-
gress, without delay, should make
available whatever money may he nee
essary to assure this protection, allow
ing developments to determine whether
the expenditure of any part of it shall
be necessary.
To protect this fund two primary
safeguards should be erected. One
should provide against the expendi-
ture of money on any work which
would not be of read benefit to the
public, and the other should prevent
the government becoming the COM
petitor of industry for the services of
labor. Work which was not immedi-
ataly necessary might well be done to
avert the evil of unemployment, but
work not Immediately necessary should
not be prosecuted to a point which
would deprive industry of labor which
it could absorb.

is very busy woman, indeed, and
has use for large knowledge Of
human nature, and how best to turn II
to account. She meets persons of all
kinds and conditions, and must judge
their qualities correctly if she is to
make a pleasant impression on them.
1t is this pronounced success women
have made under the old order that
gives zest to speculation about what
they are likely to achieve under the
new. Able to do, and doing, so much
for others, what may they not be OK
pected to do now that they are setting
UP in politics for themselves? Already
there are many women in office; and
many more will find their way once
the sex barrier TO the ballot box is re-
moved throughout the country.
Women are to have every chance to
make good in the new estate they have
attained. 1t will be to the advantage
of even those who have opposed their
enfranchisement to cooperate with
them now that the duties of citizenship
devolve upon men and women alike.
And while only one woman has as yet
reached as high station as Congress,
others may be expected there in the
near future, not to mention other sta
tons of national and very consider
able consequence.

Unemployment Must Be Averted.

There IS growing recognition of the
fact that the government is under OBJ
legation to do all things within its pow
srs 70 prevent serious unemployment
during the period of rehabilitation
and industrial readjustment.
That the danger of widespread IN
employment is real and not imaginary
IS shown by kilograms to The Star
from cities n all parts of the country
The number Of unemployed men at
present anparently is not so large Is
20 constitute national r1eLace, bur in
some sections idleness through Lick of
jobs ahca,iy has become a threatening
Ice; problem.
Satisfactory cGre for unemployment
is to b. found only in q return to nor
ma BUSINESS and industrial conditions.
ANY remedy which the government
might apply would, in the very nature
OF things. be merely palliative.
Unemployment is poisonous infec-
too in the wound which industry has
suf cred as a result of war. Should
it become sufficiently widespread the
wound will not heal, A jobless man
has no purchasing power and is one
Consumer less of the products of
American industry. General unem
pioyment would mean destruction of
the American market and would make
impossible return of American in
dlssTy to healthy peaee-time basis.
There are two major ways IN which
the government can assist directly in
eheeA.ng the spread of unemployment
Ons IS 10 inaugurate public works and
to resume operations on public works
previously inaugurated and suspended
because of the war. The other is to
bring the job and the jobless man TO-
gether, even to the extent of paying
the cost of transporting the worker
where that may be necessary.
Obligation, OF course. does not rest
with the federal government alone
State and municipal governments are
in position TO render great assistance
Pabiic works of all kinds, federal
state and municipal, fell behind dur
ing the war. This was due in part II

Closing the Gates.

Congress is to be asked to put up
the bars against immigration for four
years. Cuba, Mexico, Canada and New
foundland are not included in the in
hibition. But, as may be seen, the
sweep is wide, and has special refer
ence to Europe.
The proposition is so important, we
may expect it to be earnestly debated
Two things are essential to our vel
fare as nation: % Our people must
be employed, and (2) good standards
Of living maintained for all. America
first.
There are two views about immigra-
ton. One is that as soon as the peace
treaty is signed and tonnage allows,
immigration from Europe will repeat
old figures, and laborers by the mil
lions, appalled, by conditions at home,
seek shelter and opportunity in Amer
lea.
The other view is that the European
countries will make a strenuous eff
fort to keep their people at home /;
will appeal to them to stay and help
repair the ravages of war, and that the
appeal will have its effect.
America would have been more invit-
ing at this time to foreigners fleeing
from burdens if we had not entered
the war. But there are burdens in this
country now as the result of that act
not heavier than can be borne, but
which all who reside in the country
must help bear. Taxes of all kinds
viii be high for years to come. The
man who runs away from Europe to
escape war taxes runs right into them
here.
As already stated, our own people
those who now belong here-must be
employed, and at wages fixed to main
tain American standards of living
American wage scales have always been
higher than elsewhere, and, if Amer
lea is to remain America, must be
kept so.
When he returns. the President may
have something to say on this SUBJ
ject. If not sooner, he win have to
speak If bill is laid before him for
his signature. He should bring some
information from Europe of value to
Us all.
This matter is the more important
for the fact that the gates of the coun-
Try have never been closed. Millions
have poured through them upon only
the slightest conditions of entry. But
we have new times, and many new pro-
visions are being made to meet them.
Whether this provision should be made
is ane deserving the soberest eonsid-

Fall sown barley has proven an
excellent crop this year, Many farm
ers have tried It out this year for the
first time. The excellent results OBJ
tanned will warrant planting It more
extensively in the future.
l.. A. Hollowell, Just east Of the
city limits. has one of the best pieces
in the county.
There is a reason; barley grows
early and fast and natures crop
before the dry season comes on, SO
that there is plenty of moisture in
the soil, mp TO the time of harvest.
Another farm practice that has
been used considerable. TO advantage
this year is the sowing of barley in
the alfalfa field early in the spring
Splendid results come from thii
practice where the alfalfa is rather
thin. In addition to making an in
crease in the hay crop it serves tc
keep down the weeds.

BLEND WITH SUMMERS TIETS
Trieoiette Popular for Various Gar
ments for seasonable Wear In
the Country.

Tricolette Is used for many of this
summers country clothes. Straight
gathered skirts of this material have
overblouses to match. either with or
without sashes. These are embroid-
cred in angora or ribbozine, which is
a narrow silky braid.
From the house Of Cailot comes a
suit In which two different eolors of
tricolette are cleverly used. The up
per portion OF the dress is champagne
color featuring the lines of the smock
or overblouse, while a slate-colored
skirt is girdled low on the hips with
a sash also of slate. One of the new
long scarf collars matching the sash
is stitched across the back of the neck
and allowed to fall loosely, or It may
be worn wrapped around the neck like
a sweater scarf.
Cabot also has made a remarkable
sports cape of rose-colored tweed
with lining of pink and white pep
permint striped silk. The long cloak has
shoulder cape like those worn by the
West Point cadets. and from the back
OF this is swung large hood lined
with silk and draped to reveal this
lining in an effective way.
