BOX SEES NO REASON
WHY MAN SHOULD QUIT

Edward Box. who recently re-
tired from the editorship of the
Ladies' Home Journal. writing in
the current Atlantic Monthly, claims
that the average American cannot
understand why a man should ever
retire from business. Europe un-
derstands why a man should not
always remain slave to his bust
ness. but America has not Yet
reached this outlook. And the typi-
cal American business man is aC-
tually afraid when he reaches 60
or 20 to let go OF his business. be
cause he does not know what to do
with himself.
Most of the emphasis in Ameri-
can life is put on preparing for
ones work. From sixteen to TWEEN
ty years are spent by the average
youth in fitting himself to take his
part in active affairs and to sup
port family. But in the lives OF
many men. after a competence has
been acquired, period of rest Of
fers itself as the crown OF life.
But when nature announces to
an American that it is time for
him to enjoy well-earned leisure
:
gestion. 1t is true that he has long
looked forward, to a period of rest
and he knows the tyranny of busi-
ness. He sees the opportunities
that leisure would bring and he
feels that every man should at some
time in life be foot-free. But. when
the question comes, What shall
crown these years? he generally an
swers it by staying in the harness
to the end.
There is much to be said for this
decision, both from the standpoint
of the individual and society. 1t
is undoubtedly better to work out
than to rust out. And golf or other
forms of recreation are hardly sui
fcient to occupy mans whole
time. But this ought not to be the
only alternative with which to
crown life. Well-earned rest after
years of strenuous endsavor ought
to be the individuals reward and
society's asset.
But surely nothing could better
crown a busy life than time and
attention freely given to the work
of social betterment. And no mans
life, is complete IL il never reaches
beyond selt-welfare. Every com
munty offers ways Of service and
problems enough to interest and en-
gage any man freed from private
business. This method Of crown
ing a busy career must increasingly
be regarded as altogether sane and
worthy

x Equals Woman.

The millions OF women who voted for Presi-
dent and Vice President in this election plus those
who voted for the first time in 1916 arc being
watched far beyond the nations borders. Not only
the women OF the world who have political
aspirations waiting for the unprecedented spectacle
and the historic verdict, but also statesmen in all
lands Enfranchisemcnt so unconditional and on
such scale never has been the lot OF any group
Of electors in any democracy. Therefore, quite
apart from its immediate political consequences and
its strictly national bearings, the phenomenon at
tracts the careful study of thoughtful public men.
Womans tendencies and ideals in dealing with
the home, with the church and with the school
have been object of study for long time; and
men, up to a certain point, feel toleraby safe in
predicting what she will do in given circumstances
But the woman-citizcn is a newer type OF creature,
who has attained her liberty at OF unusual
diSlntegration in reverence for authority and Of
confounding of liberty with license. To greater
degree than if she had political equality twenty
years ago will the American woman now assert
independence of her husbands views. The motives
that have made men either Republicans Demo-
Gratis owing to the histories and deeds Of the his
torc parties in the past, she does not accept as
binding her. Consequently her vote in this cleo
tion, if expressed in Of algebra. is best de-
scribed as X in type She has it in her power to
determine the outcome OF the election There arc
those who say she the determining factor in
I9Io's contest. Be that it may, she unqucs-
tionably is both powerful and independent now.
Looking back on the campaign it has been clear
that she is not disposed to she feels so
much as she is to follow Her conscience
has driven her to study of civcs in general and to
the special issues OF the campaign with an assiduty
and thoroughness that has put voters to shame
Sharing in more leisure time than the women OF
any other land have at their disposal, she has
joined classes, gone to debates hecklcd speakers,
and written for the press at phenomenal rate.
If wife, she can discuss details OF the league
covenant better than her husband-usuay. " ~
The 1920 poll found in the booths not only many
more voters, but also many more Informed" voters
than in former contests. Consequently the party
gains from the X factor that has kept closest
to the facts in its printed and its spoken propa-
ganda.
