Lawmakers at Work Again

AS it always does on the first
Monday IN December, the congress
of the United States convened at
Washington December 9th.
This body is composed of five
hundred thirty-one men, who make
and unmake our lives by making
and unmaking the laws under
which we live. Ninety-six of these
are senators, two coming from
each Of the forty-eight states of
the Union. The remaining 435 be-
long to the House of Representa-
tives, whose members are chosen
from the various states in proper
ton to their population.
Iowa's senators are Albert B
Cummins, of Des MONIES, who has
been member of the senate for
twelve years and ranks fourteenth
in that honorable body in point Of
duration of service, and William S.
Kenyon, of Fort Dodge, who has
been a member for nine years and
ranks nineteenth.
The names of our eleven repre-
sentatives in Congress follow:
First District, Charles A. Ken
nedy, of Lee County. e
Second District, H. E. Hull, of
Iowa County.
Third District, B. E. Sweet, of
Bremen County.
Fourth District, G. N. Haugen,
of Worth County.
Fifth District, G. w. Good, of
Linn County.
Sixth District, G. w. Ramseyer,
of Davis County.
Seventh District, C. G. Dowell
Of Polk County.
Eighth District, H. M. Towner,
Of Adams County.
Ninth District, w. R. Green, Of
Pottawattamie County.
Tenth District, L. j. Dickinson
of Kossuth County.
Eleventh District, W. D. Boies
Of O'Brien County.
! All Of the men named above are
republicans. Several are playing
prominent roles at Washington, as
will be shown in these columns la.
ter, so that it is altogether appro-
ipriate that we make ourselves ia
miliar with their names.

AS A Dream Came True

An impressive little drama was
enacted at the polling place at
Elizabeth, New Jersey, on ele, ton
day. A long line of voters was
waiting to get into the booths when
a decrepit old woman came into
the room where the voting was
going on. She was accompanied
by her daughter, who carried a
camp chair for the mother in case
the latter should have to wait.
Elizabeth is a city of more than
10000 people. Yet the aged wo-
man was recognized at once by
those in the line; and all promptly
gave way to her, putting her at
the head of the line where she
would be first to vote.
There was of course a reason fol
the unusual courtesy. The woman
was Mrs. Antoinnette B. Blackwell
She was numbered among the dele
gates to the FIRST National Wo.
mans Rights Convention, which
was held in Massachusetts, seventy
years ago. In fact, at ninety-fve
she is the last survivor Of that
epoch-making convention. The
crowd knew this; and putting her
at the head Of the line was merely
their way of doing her honor as
she cast the vote for which she had
waited three score years and ten.

Women Lose No Time

We are beginning to get notion
of the part which the women of the
country are TO play in politics, now
that they have been vested with
the privileges Of citizenship. 1t is
apparent that they do not mean to
stand idly by while the men pass
the new laws this winter. Two
weeks before congress met this
month, a meeting Of delegates from
the most powerful women's organ
izations of the nation. having in
oil something like ten million mem
bers, was held in Washington. Its
purpose was to bring about a tenn
porary union of all such organiza-
TORS to the end that they might
increase their influence in securing
legislation this winter. Thus when
congress convened on the sixth of
J
the present month, they found the
women ready and waiting for them
At that, the lawmakers do not
seem to have taken any great
alarm over the matter. There was
good reason for this. The wo-
men were not asking for legislation
to further selfish or private ends
as are most Of the people who at.
tempt to bring pressure to bear
upon congress. Rather, they were
asking for laws which they believed
to be essential to the public well
fare. Among the measures which
they are trying to induce congress
to enact into law are the following:
The Sheppard-Towner bill to
protect maternity and infancy.
The Curtis-Gard chlld-labor bill.
The Smith Towner bill to create
a department of education, whose
head would have a place in the
president cabinet.
The Fess amendment to pro-
mote vocational education and to
promote home economics training
in the public schools.

Where Law Breaks Down

Is human labor commodity to
be bought and sold like coffee or
calico, with the price rising and
falling according to the demand
and supply. This is problem
which has puzzled mankind for
many generations. Lawmaking
bodies have often decided it in the
negative, even writing it into the
statutes sometimes hat labor is
not to lie so regarded.
The trouble is, however, that
while the law says that labor is
not a commodity, it acts just as if
it were one regardless Of what the
lawmakers think, rising in price
when scarce and falling in price
when plentiful and by this fact,
much suffering is caused among
!aboring people, who must live
whether labor is in demand or not,
but who find themselves hardly
able to do so when there is no
market for their services.
Australia is considering seriously
just now the plan of establishing by
law a wage scale for all workers. 1t
is intended to make each mans
wages depend upon whether he is
married and how many children he
has. And within the past. two or
three weeks, the women of that
country have requested that in ca
ses of large families, the law be
made to read that all wages allowed
for more than three children shall
be paid to the mother instead Of
the father.
IL is an open question whether
the price of labor can be fixed by
law, in this manner. The trouble
is that wages must always depend
on prices that the products of la
Dor will bring; and since these pri-
ces are subject to other laws than
those made by man, wages can not
be fixed arbitrarily without upset.
ting industry and business gener

trial stagnation with labor unem-
ployed and SO receiving nothing

The Kenyon-Kendrick bill to
regulate the meat-packing industry.
1t is natural and right that the
first interest Of women should be
in laws of this general character.
However, their interests must
not end here. Eventually they
must take up the study of all the
public questions of the day to the
end that they may deal with them
at least as intelligently as do the
men if not little more so.

women attended last year.

A woman has applied for job on
the fire department in Council
Bluffs. The city clerk has been adj
vertising for men to fill vacancies
and the woman asked him through
the telephone if she could serve.
She was promised the position pro-
vided she passed the physical and
other tests. The woman refused to
give her name but said she would
send for blank application.

Our Part as Citizens

The people of Greece had a rule
$500 years ago which it seems that
we in America might we'll adopt.
1t was required of every free citizen
that he not only familiarize himself
with public questions, but that he
enter into the discussions of them
which were constantly going on in
public places. Even boys in their
teens were required to take part in
the discussions of questions of state
with their elders This was held
to be an essential part Of the edu-
cation of every citizen.
In that time, politics were held
in high honor and esteem. The
dishonorable thing was not to
understand political questions and
issues. Indeed, ignorance Of this
sort was forbidden and punished
by law.
APP lying this to our own case,
politics should not, of course. be
looked upon as something that is
corrupt and hence to be left alone
ny decent people. For politics is
the study of government and of
measures and problems affecting
the public welfare; and surely in
a democracy, it is for all citizens to
study thoughtfully and seriously
such matters as thee rather than
to shrink from them as something
that is defiled.
Will woman's suffrage remove
eventually the faint that has at
tached to politics in America? Who
can tell? Yet it is certain that il
Senator Spencer's new plan for be-
slowing public patronage, reported
in these columns last week, and
others like it, become the vogue ii
will go far toward bringing about
this happy result.
