is MERE MAN DESTINED?

Harriet Stanton Blatch recently
prepared another large batch OF
misconceptions, mistakes and mis-
statement. In this Socialist Re-
! view Mrs. Blatch gives publicity to
her idea tirat women perform AT
least three-fifths OF the labor OF the
world"
The married women. the house
keeper, the mother, the manager OF
the homes, is. according to Mrs.
Blatch. the leader OF the army of the
exploited. "She lives in slavery" as
serts Mrs. Blatch, explaining.
Women produce the human race,
they bake the biscuits, boil the pot
atoes. broil the stake, and serve the
products OF their toll to their hungry
family" All OF which Is partly true.
There Is a good authority, however,
for the assertion that father aids in
the production OF the human race.
II is true, often, that women bak-
es the biscuits. At other times she
buys them at the bakery, where man
has done them nicely brown in a
man-made oven. But even when she
bakes them, as Mrs. Blatch points
out. man delivers the flour at her
kitchen door, grinds the wheat into
the flour. and first OF all plowed and
seeded the ground to produce the
wheat. Baking the biscuits is not
all the Job.
She boils the potatoes, and mere
man did nothing but plant the seed
last spring, hoe them during the
summer, dig them up this fall. and
deliver them at the kitchen door.
She broils the steak, and mere man
does nothing 10 help her but grow
the calf, feed and care for the steer,
butcher and beef, and deliver 1t at
the kitchen door.
The remedy?
"In the Socialist Party. and there
alone. I find radical promise to
women.
Does Mrs. Blatch wish one to un-
derstand that Socialism Will persu-
ade potatoes to boil themselves.

the oven9 Or does she serve warning

MINING REVIEW OF IRON co.
Continued from page !

Considerable ore will be carried over
al these properties.
Rogers Water Trouble Cured
Interest centers in the peogers
mine OF this group where a battle has
been waged with water during the
past five years. About year ago a
decision was made TO attack TINS
pooblem vigorously and all hanas
were put at "ditching" the ore BODY.
From the drift which was run ar
ound tap holes were driven 70 the
sand. The pumping capacity was
greatly increased TO care for the rush
Of water. The result has been ihe
comparatively rapid draining OF the
water held in the overburden so tna'
the mine Is now comparatively dry
and mining operations are not imped-
Cd as they we're before the water was
drained off.
The Bates mine of the Thaimann
interests has been very active prop
ertv the past year. This property IS

el as quickly as they have on prev
ious years.
The ore from all OF the. Mckinney
Steel mines was cleaned up last
week and a group went to stocking
but resumed shipping again Monday.
Their properties, the Odgers, Tobin
and Dunn. are being re-equiped and
some interference will result to out
puts next season from that work but
so far as we can learn they are all
billed for the capacity outpots.
The Bristol mine has shipped well
over half OF its pile and II Is exepcted
that considerable more OF it will go
before the season ends. The property
is In shape TO make a good output
the coming year.
The Amasa-Porter and Warner
mines near Amasa carry over consid-
erable OF their stocked ore but 1t is
understood that this fact will not In
terfere with the capacity operations
the coming season.
Another Big Payroll Total
THE payroll for the mines on the
east side OF the county total over
50. 100000 making total mining pay
roll for Iron county OF about $S,000,-
900. 1t is big sum of money. The
outlook for the next year is that this
same total will be equalled, that the
wages win remain high and 1t Is ex-
pected that better results will be Sc
cured from the labor especially the
trantient labor.
Taken as a whole the mining In
dustry was never more promising
In Iron county.

BY the Governor
The eleventh day OF November next
will be the second anniversary OF the
signing OF the Armistice in the Great
War. and in as much Michigan Leg
islature IN the session OF 1919 passed
an act making it duty Of school OH
GERS and teachers to have said day
observed with appropriate commem-
orative exercises, II is fitting that
the day should not be allowed to pass
without attention being called to its
significance.
Therefore. /. Albert T.. Sleeper,
Governor of the State of Michigan, do
issue this proclamation and hereby
request a proper and appropriate OBJ
servance, ON the part OF the people
OF the state. on Thursday the eleventh
day of November, 1920,
Following the proclamation OF Pres
ident Wilson, further request that
on Sunday. November the fourteenth
1920 memorial services be held for
our heroic dead, for the soldiers, sail
ors and marines who gave up their
lives in our cause in the World War
and that on this day flags be display

THE ELECTIONS SIGNIFICANCE


The result was anticipated. Some
way. anyone With any political scent
az all could sniff It in the air. II has
bec- apparent since long before the
nominations were made-a republican
landslide.
Political diagnosticians are at work.
An autopsy is being held TO determine
the cause OF death but these investi-
cations are OF interest only to the
supercillious in political fadism in
their efforts TO show that tins or that
political fad championed by this one
OF that one was not responsible for
the demise-it's an alibi effort.
To the ordinary, everyday, hard
headed citizen there is no necessity
for an autopsy. Too much Wilson
was the cause OF the democratic pass
tng. No matter how well intentioned
che President may have been, no mat
ter how much in the right he may
have been, the people tired OF his OBJ
stinacy not alone on the League of Ma
tfons but on eyrything on his insist
ance in keeping about him a cabinet,
almost every member OF which, had
been generally condemned for deeds
or misdeeds during or following the
war.
II was the yearning OF the Ameri-
can people for change-"it can't be
worse, let's have a change"-that was
the real slogan that piloted the repub-
licans to victory.
Early last winter, the writer was
thrown in company with travelling
man on q transconunental train. Our
tank was on politics. He said to me,
II travel all over the United States.
/ make 1t point TO get the sentiment
OF the people wherever | stop, and !
want 10 say to you that il makes no
difference what one Of the present
candidates the republicans nominate
he Will be elected by a big majority.
The people have decided TO have a
change and they're going TO have It,"
From the result OF last Tuesdays vote
It looks as II that travelling man had
the situation sized up exactly.
But. there's a responsibility attend
ing this big victory of the republican
party responsibility that must not
be taken lightly.
II Il is so taken the people
will turn the republicans out next
time as emphatically as they did the
democrats this time The people want
some constructive legislation. they
turned thumbs down ON Wilson be-
cause he stood in the way OF con-
strnctive measures, because he stood
for his ideas and his ideas alone. Had
ma been content TO counsel. had Pres.
Wilson compromised and pushed a
dong measures TO bring the country
back from war stage. the disaster
GUS rout OF his administration might
not have been recorded. Ills fate
should be warning to the republican
factions OF what awaits them II they
put their personal preferences In the
way OF constructive legislation.

No fair-ninded person will dispute that the
gressions of men are just as sinful as similar trans

should be the same treatment for both sexes II

there are equally weighty reasons. in the natural

effect single standard. it is proposed. not
10 consider women's sin lightly but to judge

William Jennings Bryan, in the course OF an adj
