OF his diamond tie pin. The pur-
chaser who stops at the cigar coun-
ter rarely waits to remove his hat

a nickel cigar for IL cents from the
charming representative OF her sex
who presidss over II. He may, II he
chooses, shake "horyes' with faces

of shame retain his hat upon his

as those why should he be con-
demned IL he wears his headgear In
the presence Of the elevator girl?
Now that failure is not essentially
an evidence Of contempt or Of lack
Of gentility and character but let us
say an acceptance of woman's equal
ity. On the Job she is as good as
man. Let us feel that the failure
to remove the hat is a signal Of COM
radeship In business and labor. She
asks no odds Of any man. She can

more. Perhaps, some future day.

THE BUSINESS FIELD.

General inconvenience and no in
considerable loss to business have
resulted from the railroad walkouts,
and some time must necessarily
eiapse, even with an early ADJUST
ment of the labor troubles, before the
deleterious effects will be wholly
eliminated. With transportation dis
organized, and movements Of raw
materials seriously impeded, If not
entirely suspended, shutdowns at
many manufacturing plants have
been unavoidable, and last months
more favorable production results
cannot be repeated in April.
While consumption Of goods is al
SC diminished, and tho unemployment
in various industries curtatls the pub
lie purchasing power, yet the strikes
have reduced available supplies of
different commo dities, and some
prices, as Dun's list demonstrates,
have risen sharply. Such tendency
has appeared at a time when more
Is being heard Of resistance to the
extreme prices, and when many
dealers, in planning for the future,
are confronted with a manifest
change in the buying disposition of
consumers, not a few of whom are
turning away from extravaganza in
personal expenditures and are becom-
irg more discriminating in their SOL
ections Of merchandise. The policy
of conservatism and retrenchment
has, in fact, grown noticeably Of late,
even in some quarters where it is
not actually forced by price consid-
erations ami the uncertain economic
and political outlook Is reflected in
greater hesitation IN making forward
commitments in such important mar
kets as hides and leather and tex
tiles.
That the advantage is now less
generally with sellers than previous
~, notwithstanding the sustaining
element Of present restricted outputs,
there are plain indications; and Of
ferings Of some goods for later del
livery at concessions from current
quotations support the contention
that prevailing prices cannot hold

MERE ACCEPTANCE OF EQUALITY

A DeS MoineS paper quotes a Des
Moines elevator girl who says that a
man who takes his hat off when he
and the elevator girl are the only &C.
cupants Of the elevator is a gentle
man. the man who leaves 1t on re-
CARELESS Of women passengers is Just
a man and that the man who takes
off his hat when other women are
riding and leaves it on without con-
sideration of the elevator girl Is
neither man nor gentleman.
There is something in the criticism
of the young woman. The man who
whips off his hat to one woman be-
cause of class and leaves it on to
another for similar reasons is a snob.
He Isn't respecting womanhood as
womanhood but making his manners
to class and clothes and occupation
or lack Of it. The man who kowtows
to the woman of prominence and
bullyrags scrubwoman isn't
gentleman.
But the young woman hasn't
studied the conditions or fully real
lied the approaching feminine mill
enium. She has a mans job. No
body ever dreamed Of taking off
hat to an elevator boy, not even the
elevator boy himself. Hats are worn
at will in the august presence Of the
hotel clerk and under the refugence

THE CONVENTION.

Lowden has the Iowa delegation
under Instructions. The instructions
seem TO have been the enthusiastic
sense of the convention judging from
the newspaper reports. The instruct
ed delegation seems TO have resulted
from pressure brought from all parts
of the state against the leadership
plan which was to send an unin-
structed delegation.
The instructions bind the delega-
ton in the usual language 10 use
all honorable means to secure the
nomination of Mr.. Lowden. That
means that it will stand by Lowden
so long as he has a chance for the
nomination. That is the sense OF tho
republicans of the state. There is no
doubt at all of Lowdens popularity
with the rank and file in Iowa
The convention endorsed the pur-
pose Of providing adjusted or de-
ferred compensation for those per-
sons who served their country in the
military and naval service during
the last war"
The convention expressed its opin-
ion plainly of the socialistic program
which is being represented in Iowa
by the Brookhart candidacy and
which stands in effect and intention
ar endorsement Of Senator Cummins.
The resolution opposes socialism and
communism, stands for liberty, law
and order and good wages, honest
work and fair profits, opposes gov
eminent ownership OF railroads AMI
approves the return of the roads TO
their owners, stands for continuity
and regularity in transportation and
approves measures to effectuate such
results. To all of which the masses
of republicans will agree and which
they would have said even more
plainly had the people written the
resolution.
