Revelations of a Wife

nine fashion and could have shrieked
my anger and humiliation at the
trick my husband had played
upon me-
Then. as 1 remem bered that the
keen eyes OF my mother-in-la were
fiXedly watching me. 1 controlled
my wrath with an effort OF will

crumFled the paper in my hand.
Poor Dicky," l said carelessly. Il
wonder If nothing will ever cure him
of being absent minded J suppose
he IS carrying the note TO me around
in his pocket under the impression
IL is a sheet of blank paper. while
he has put no writing at all into
this envelope"
DO ! look like fOol?" was my
mother-in-law's response TO this con-
tribution OF mine. You'd better
own up the whole thing. Richard
simply handed me that note in order
10 pull the wool over my eyes. But"
grimly. "he never has been able 10
do it yet, and I'm not quite in my
dotage, although you and ne prob
ably think I am. No. you've had a
disgraceful row and 1 don't wonder
that Richard tried 10 get out of il

he had told you about them"

anger at him I could not help a
twitching of my lips as l remem-
bered how often the crude phrase

affirmed unwinkingly, saving my
conscience with the remembrance
that upon our motor ride home he
had said his work was picking up

utterly mistaken, mother. in your
theory that Dicky and l have had

Useful Chinese Stool

IL was a tiny little bedroom in an
apartment, but it really was surpris
ing how much space there was in IL.
after all Although the room con-
tanned a single brass bed, a chiffon
Ter. a generous-siZed dressing table,
bedside table and a square closet
built into one corner of the room, it
was not crowded in the least. Its
occupant was even heard to remark,
II can turn around two or three
times like a dog before L go to bed,
and not bump into anything.
The ONLY mirror. however. was the
one over the dressing table and to use
that, of course, one had 10 sit down.
So a chair was needed There did
not seem TO be one to spare any
where in the apartment and as the
sort of chair which the owner
of the room wanted TO go with that
pretty mahogany table would cost
more money than she cared TO put
into such a piece of furniture at that
time, she looked about for sOme-
thing else
one member of the family pro-
posed covering a box and using that
with a nice little cretonne cover on
top, but that idea did not appeal;
no makeshift was wanted, bat,
rather, something that would be
lasting and satisfactory. Then the
inspiration came. just when II was
needed. Why not get one Of those
Chinese wicker stools, which could
be pushed right in under the dress
ing table when not in use?
Uptown, in an oriental shop, the
stool WAS found. exactly the right
thing for the place il was TO &C

light that II could easily be carried

than q chair or mahogany bench,
and proved both attractive and use

Loo ChOO Women

Formosa. not far from China's coast
wise routes, yet visited by oily two
or three white persons a year-such
are the Loo ChOo (Luchu or Ryuk-
yu) Islands.
Loo Choo is land full of the in
describable charm and mystery Of
pathOs OF q vanishing race, writes
Roy Chapman Andrews TO the Ma
tional Geographic society.
But. although IL has been 40
; ears since there sounded the death
knell OF this little kingdom, Loo
Choo is not yet Japan. The traveller
realizes this before he lands. The
pine-clOthed, tomb dotted hills
which form the background Of the
cities of Naha and Shuri have an un-
familiar look and the pretty tiled
roofs of the diminutive houses, just
visible over the surrounding gary
stone walls, give fascinating hints Of
what may be found beyond their
IL cquered gateways On their entire
900 square miles OF land only one
white man, an American missionary,

Bought Red Lacquer.
With our money changed we be-
gan 10 look about 10 spend IL, for
Loo Choo is the home of the red
lacquer famous throughout the
world. Much of il is exported, and
the finest of the boxes, bowls, trays,
tables, etc, which are in daily use
in Japan and China and sold to
tourists throughout the Orient, come
from the little city of Naha, or Shuri,
its neighbOr across the hills. The
lacquer ware, when first made is a
dull brown, but really first-class
pieces improve with age and soon
change 10 a beautiful vermillion, be-
coming brighter and clearer the
longer they are used.
When we came to buy lacquer we
were greatly surprised 10 find that
bargaining had no place in Loo
Choo. Without exception, the first
price asked for an article was the
one for which il was sold. Never
IN the Orient had we met with a
similar condition.
Conduct All Business.
1T was interesting 10 find also,
that the women of Loo ChoO conduct
all business and have charge of ev-
erything pertaining TO money-with
the single exception OF spending it.
The market, where in the morning
trading for vegetables and fruit is
carried on, resembles a suffrage meet
carried on, resembles a suffrage
meeting place, for among the
crowded mass Of humanity not a
man Is to be seen.
The straight backs and erect car
riage of the Loo Choo women are
due TO the custom of carrying every
thing upon their heads. No matter
what the object. be it large or small.
il is perched upon their thick, black
hair, and OF they walk in the most
nonchalant manner. apparently pay
ing not the slightest attention TO
keeping the object in place.
The most striking thing about
Naha and Shuri are the high stone
walls which surround the houses.
These walls are generally covered
by small banyan tree, called the
goja maru. growing like a great vine
and sending out mum berless roots
which sometimes reach a hundred
feet from the original stem.
These also serve as a hiding place
for a snake, a kind of adder, six or
seven feet long, which is the curse
OF the islands. Their bite is gen
orally fatal in a few hours. and many
| people are killed by them each year"

BRIDGES SPEAKS
TOLARGE CROWD

The Farmer Labor Party campaign
meeting was called to order by the
county chairman, E. c. Daley, who
spoke on the necessity which forced
us to organize the Farmer-Labor
Party. The chairman called on each
of the candidates present for a few
remarks.
Mrs. Jean Stovel, of Seattle, spoke
on the subject that we must have a
governor that will help make the
minimum wage law a benefit to the
women.
D. C. Coates, State Chairman of
the Farmer-Labor Party spoke on
organization work.
Robert Bridges. candidate for Gov
ernor, was then introduced and was
loudly cheered.
He explained the principle of the
platform and said that he would up
hold each and every one of them.
"When l go to Olympia" as he re-
marked several times.
He remarked, "When the people
make their choice between Black or
Hart on one hand and Bridges on the
other, Bob Bridges is going to be
elected.
The meeting was well attended,
the big tent not being near large
enough to hold the crowd. The sides
were let down and many stood in the
rain during the entire meeting.

NOn-Pa PARTISAN
Labor Defeats
Congressman Esch

Washington, Sept. 18.-Labor's de-
feat of Congressman Esch in the
Wisconsin primaries is a distinct
Partisan campaign.
Congressman Esch has represented
the Lacrosse district continuously for
20 years. Two years ago he was re-
elected by 10000 majority over two
other candidates, and as chairman of
the house interstate and foreign COM
merce committee he is credited in the
popular mind with being co-author
of the Cummins -Esch railroad bill.
His candidacy in the recent prim-
aries centered on this legislation and
he insisted that the law was the
best possible, but labor in that dis
trict is Non-Partisan and therefore
wanted facts. AS a result Mr.. Esch
will retire to private life when the
present congress ends next March.
Other candidates who defend this
law are telling their audiences that
Il will look you square in the eye
and declare that this is the best leg
islation that was ever passed" This
statement is a heroic gesture. but it
is neither argument nor fact. 1t is
suited for the days when partisan
ship was rampant, when the labor
vote was delivered in many sections
of the country, the passing of which
seem to be deplored by those who
declare "Gompers is trying to deliver
the labor vote" when he and other
trade unionists urge partisanship
to stop the delivery of labor's vote.
The defeat of Congressman Esch
and the cheap drama defense of the
railroad act recalls a speech by
Congressman Sanders of Louisiana
when the bill was before the house
of representatives for final passage.
The house had previously refused to
accept the Cummins bill, passed by
the senate, and the senate had re-
jected the Esch bill, passed by the
house. This situation forced both
bills into conference, where conferees
representing both branches of con-
gress, secretly adjusted differences.
Forty-eight hours before the house
was called upon to vote on the con
ference report it was made public.
In refusing to vote for the new bill
Congressman Sanders said there was
nothing left of the Cummins and the
Esch bills but the titles. He de-
clared that there was not a mem
ber of the house of representatives
save possibly its members of the
conference, who understood the re-

Support Car Men

New York, Sept 18.-Every group
Of organized labor in this city has
united in an appeal for financial aid
in behalf of street car men on strike
against the car company in the bor-
ough of Brooklyn. The unionists
declare that this is one of the great
est industrial battles in the history
of the New York labor movement.
The company is in the hands of
receiver and the court has refused to
arbitrate unless he can review the
findings of the arbitrator.
Strikebreakers are being imported
and the thugs openly pocket every
fare collected. The daily press treats
the thugs thievery as a Joke and
prints alleged funny stories about
these holdups, who have killed scores
of citizens.
Judge Mayer has refused to rec
ognize the street car mems union
and this position is sustained by the
receiver, Lindley NJ. Garrison. The
latter has issued an appeal to the
men to "let bygones be bygones"
and return to work. If the receivers
suggestion would be accepted the
men would abandon their union and
place themselves in the hands of
Judge Mayer and his agent.

BUILDING AN
ARISTOCRACY

There is building nj this country
an aristocracy-an industrial aris-
tocracy-and we are strengthening
the power and increasing the privi-
leges of an autocracy at the same
time. The whole people are being
taxed that one privately-owned in
dustry may be free of the ordinary
risks of business. Be the railroads
ever so recklessly managed, be there
great or little graft, the railroads
earnings continue unimpaired If
traffic is great or small, the result
unchanged. The people must
pay traffic charges that will yield
the railroads not less than 512 or s
per cent on their property investment
accounts, water and all, now and for
all time to come.
Yet Senator Harding says that is
the most constructive legislation ever
approved by Congress and is proud
that he supported it. He says that
it does not give a guarantee to the
railroads. The Congressional Rec
ord, in its report of the debate on
this legislation, gives many pages of
statements by members of the House
and Senate that the transportation
bill does give guarantee, and that
it was understood by those who
framed the measure and those who
supported it.
1t is an evasion to say that be-
cause the railroads do not get their
money directly from the treasury,
but from the people, they are not
getting a guarantee, No intelli-
gent person will accept that unstable
1t will not benefit any man, no
matter for what office he is aspiring,
to attempt to becloud the issue and
fool the public. Those who now
contend that the railroad bill does not
give a guarantee are deliberately mis-
representing the situation They
dare not face the result of their
conscious act.
The bill gives an imperative COM
mand to the Interstate Commerce
Commission to establish rates so high
that they will at all times give the
railroads a return of not less than
5l2 per cent on their capitalization.
There can be no mistaking the mean
ing of this provision. 1t was intend
ed by Congress that the railroads
should be freed of all risks-that
they should be assured of a GER
tain profit.
We get a fair idea of what was
in the congressional mind when we
recall that the railroad bill provided
that in the interim when new rates
were being arranged the railroads
should have their guarantee from the
