Women and the Church

We see by a late dispatch that the Irish Protest ant Episcopal Church at recent meeting in Dublin voted against the admission of women to representa- ton in the church; that is, suffrage in church government. The Irish church some years ago was severed from the Church England and since then has been a democratic body but the men alone have directed it's affairs.
 The chief argument for the admission of women to a voice in the church was the same as that we have heard recently in this country in support of the argument in favor of woman suffrage-the herosm, the patriotism and the effective service of in the war
 The churches generally here as we'll as abroad have withheld from women the privilege of full par tcipaon in their activities the exercise that privilege has never been strongly insisted upon whether because the women have not yet come to care for voice whether they regard the church as impregnable against attack and so are content with the opportunities afforded them for service in Dorcas societies. Ladies Aids and other auxiliary bodies
 But the action of the Irish Church stands out by reason of the question raised to how many of the members of the synod who voted against woman suffrage in the church are among those who are demanding the independence of Ireland separation from Great Britain thorough the separation of the Irish Church from the Established Church

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

It Is probably true that more ques- tons from the readers of newspapers to their editors have been answered by Frederick J. Haskin, Director of the Arizona Republican Information Bureau, in Washington, than by any other man dead or alive. It is his business to answer questions He is an investigator, writer, traveller, of long experience, is the author of a num- Der of books on the government He is strategically located at the natior's capital and knows the keys that will open the various storehouses of knowledge that have been built up by the government.
 Here are some of the questions that have been answered recently by this bureau that is now at the service of the readers Of the Arizona Republican. What do you think of them?
 Q. Can the United States talk to Europe by wireless telephone?E

Msricopa's Glorious Dead

During the great war sixty eight sons of Mari copa county gave their lives that America might live fee from the domination of a ruthless autocracy. q Next Saturday that those high sacrifices may be ,bmmemorated, great air tournament will be held st the state fair grounds to lay the foundation of fpnd for the creation of permanent memorial, that the recollection of those devoted men may be kept fresh and that their heroic deeds may inspire future seneradons.
 < It would not seem necessary to appeal to the pa ttoue and of Marcopa to pay tribute ;e those who have bravey died, by attending this great tournament.
 We believe that the spirit of Frank Luke and the other devoted who have made the great sacrifice still lives in the hearts of the people from among whom they went to the war.

WHY STATE INSURANCE?

The lobbyists for the private in
surcHce companies love to link la
boris demand for a state insurance
law with Prussian paternalisn. "1t's
the first wedge Of Socialism," they
declare, land it will be followed by
more radical measures" This sort
OF opposition takes for time, but
they are not sincere in their argu-
ments, which are advanced merely
to save their necks.
They had their faithful servant,
w. A. Pittinger, introduce a bill in
the house, which it passed will CON-
pei every employer in the state who
is not rich enough to insure himself.
to carry insurance in one OF their
profit-hungry companies. They ere
net opposed to sort Of paternal-
ism that will force residents O. this
state to pay regular tribute % them,
such as the Pittinger bill would do.
That kind is very fine and very ap-
propriate, because it is a kind that
mulcts dollars from the people and
brings immense profits to them.
The state administration of the
workingmen's compensation act
would compel every employer to pay
his insurance premium to the state,
rather than to a private company.
The reason labor wants the state to
administer the fund, which is now
administered by private insurance
companies, is that it Will save money
for employers and will give laborers
higher compensation. Last year the
insurance companies collected about
$1,500,000 from Minnesota employ
ers, and they only paid in compen-
sation 100000 About 100000
represents cost and profit to the in
surance companies. Labor proposes.
through state administration, to save
at least $55O,O00 of this amount and
to pay it in Increased compensate on
to injured working people and to the
dependents of deceased working peo-
pie. A state fund should be admin
istered at cost of not exceeding
$4,000 year
This is the whole thing in a nut
shell. The bill should be supported
by every man and women in the
state. Write to your representative
and state senator today and urge MIN
to vote for the bill. It will do great
good.

GOVERNMENT ADVOCATES
GREAT Bu|LD|N6 BOOM

The United States government is de-
sirous Of promoting the building in
dustry as reconstruction measure.
1t is also encouraging the states and
cities to hurry up with public I'M
provements.
The building industry constantly be-
comes more important in general in
dustry. At one time four-story
office building with one slow, lun1-
bering elevator, a clumsy, intricate
plum bling system, a hot-afr furnace,
gas lighting, and no other means Of
ventilation than open windows, was
called modern structure. It filled
the wants of the tenant of that day.
This building Represented progress.
1t was the successor of the frame
structure with no other advantage
than that of shelter.
In the days of the frame structure
the building industry embraced the
sawmill.~the ,lumberjack; the carpen-
ter, and the plasterer.
The four-story brick building add
ed the brickmaker, the bricklayer, the
plumber, the steamf1tter, and the ele-
vator constructor. with their allied
forces.
The industry today embraces di-
rectly the craftsmen enrolled in tI1ir-
teen international unions, while it's
labor dependents number millions.
Therefore, it is of the greatest fmpor-
lance to the workingman and to the
public as a whole.
And the building program has been
delayed two years-two years behind
the ideas of the times.
Here is the opportunity of America
to return to it's peace-time pursuits
with the least change in labor condi-
tons from the prosperous era that
developed out Of the war. Secretary
Wilson has pointed the road to oppor-
tunity-building. He has set in mo-
ton the forces that stimulate the in
dusry; has summoned labor to collect
it's tools.
The opportunity is here.
Wisdom tells us to grasp it.

NATION MAKING up FOR

Educated manhood and woman

ton of the American Federation Of
Labor.
In this hour Of the worlds great
need, with our colleges depleted and
our high school attendance diminished
in order that our nation may sustain,
the demands that are being made upon
it, it behooves the educational world
to see to it that the dificit IN aducA-
ton shall be made up at the other
end Of the 1ine-in the kindergarten;
that the children of the nation shall
begin earlier to form habits Of regu-
larity, cleanliness and thrift, and obe-
dience to law, as we'll as to be asso-
ciated comparatively in q community
Of their equals: in other words, that
intelligent democracy shall begin not
child's life when the most impressions
able period of his existence has al
ready been rightly or wrongly di-
rected; but that this training should
begin when, at the age OF 8 or 4 years,
he begins to manifest his desire for
companions of his own age
In too many homes the companion
ship of adults only warps and dwarfs
the child's initiatives; and in too many
other homes the haphazard direction
IF a child's interests and activities at
this formative age is left entirely to
chance, when, in reality, it should be
most carefully considered, and sympa-
thetically and wisely guarded.

twice this amount in the raanufac-
tured state, as wine. II these grapes
were made into grape syrup. the prod

Of nearly $S,000.o0o.

Or give up your grip
AS you tussle with care.
Just stick to the scrap.
Don't be ready to stop.

That you'll finish. on top.
If your battle is just
Don't give in at a blow;
Don't get ratified or fused
Or let i'll temper show.
There is many a slip
Betwixt seeker and goal,
Keep a stiff upper lip
And yourself in control.
When you're down you're not out
If you'll get up again,
You are not put to rout
Till you run from your men.
Give back blow for blow,
Just so long as you fight.
There is always a show
To succeed if you're right.

GRAFT UNIONISM?"

Why waste SO much time criticiz-
ing the so-called "craft union"
method of organization in the Amer
lean Federation of Labor? There
isn't any such thing now unless it
is in one or two of the minor trades
which have not been affected by the
introduction of machinery.
Industrial unionism, like our civ
ilization, is a growth. Our largest
labor organizations started out
many years ago as distinct trade
unions, and as the industries in
which their members were employed
expanded they gradually let down
the bars and spread their mantel
over the entire industry.
AS a matter of fact we have real
industrial unionism in the American
labor movement now, but it is much
different from the kind we read
about in Revolutionary" publica-
tions. It is founded on the prin
ciple of democracy. 1t springs from
the membership and develops there
from. 1t vests in each unit the right
to determine what is best for the
members therein. 1t makes fedora
ton voluntary and not compulsory
1t reaches for the maximum in COL
lective effort and preserves the maxi
mum in individual liberty. It so
completely dovetails into the ideals
of our government in principle, con-
struction and operation that it actu-
ally has become a part of our ma
tional life.
There is no doubt but that it has
it's shortcomings, for the reason that
it is always doing things. It's pro-
poganda period Is Of the past. It's
chief work now is to achieve results,
and a survey over the last thirty
year period Of our industrial activi-
ties indicates that it has succeeded
pretty we'll in ''bringing home the
bacon"
The vast majority of American
workingmen will not let go Of tho
American Federation Of Labor until
they are assured of something bet
ter, and it will take, more than hot
air and wild indictments to fndt1cA
them to change. :
