royr.-. Women Are serfs.

The muut Of women In Egypt
is the darbrst phase of Egyptian life
saws G. y. Barnes, British member Of
parliament. who recently returned
from tour OF that country.
The men in Egypt SAYS Mr.. Barnes,
so far as sex relations are concerned,
think themselves the lords of creation.
They can divorce their wives at viii,
without within or reason, and il is not
uncommon for man to have three
wives.
"In many houses" continues Mr..
Barnes. ~ never saw Il woman, and
YOU can take It from me that the posi-
ton of the women in Egypt is abso-
lutely one of serfdom and dependence.
They spend their lives in miserable
novels, in working in the adjoining
fields or in getting water.
"They are the serfs of the men and
rs much beasts of burden as the don
key and the camel. A people which
uses women folk in that way are DIES.

PREACHERS SALARIES AND PREACHERS.

to a state newspaper indicts the
average church as proateering on the

aries while they have been raised
somewhat are still too low for

The churches have all been agi-
tating the matter of increasing the pay
OF ministers recently thruout the
sthate, aud the result has been, I be-
lieve, some increase in the pastors
supends. But il is apparent that the
public has stopped short of an ade-
QUate support. To make an increase
in the pastors salary OF $500 or $500 a
year. which seems to meet the erne--
geucy in the minds OF host of the con-
gre cations, falls far short of Justice
to the preacher. l. is an absolute fact
that such an amount will not meet
the increase in the yearly grocery bill
alone OF the average family. And the

from the scriptural standard that
man cannot live by bread alone"

FROM sslPrslrryts TO ssRrsistvrs.

The Omaha Bee has been sold and h
out of possession of the Rosewatel
family.
The Bee was made by strong mar
and held strong place while Edward
Rosewater lived and directed its poll
cies and destinies. The elder Rosewa-
ter was OF the type that appealed to the
early west and his newspaper and him
self gained wide influence. The Bee
occupied a territory and was especially
powerful beyond the Missouri and on
the western watershed OF Iowa
Since the death OF its founder and
maker the Bee has been slipping. Sew
eral reasons may be given for that.
The successor to Edward Rosewater
lacked greatly that which his father
had most The Bee lacked authorita-
tireness. II felt the loss Of power that
passed with the elder Rosewater. Then
other towns and cites sprane up to
the west and strong newspapers. ably
edited, wdested territory from the Bee
on each side OF the river; but most Of
all it lacked the strength of strong
man with strong convictions and the
willingness to fight for them.
"Old Man" Rosewater was not al
ways right in his conclusions; in fact.
he was often wrong. but he was always
to be reckoned with. He belonged to
the west and the west knew 1t. There
was nothing of the doorkeeper about
him. He went in and sat in the front
row or he threw stones thdu the win
dow. When he died the Bee lost the
core of it's virility.
It is Just another instance Of the

nalism, ut is but three generations

SALES TAX VS.. ExcEss profits TAI.

The Ba,che Review after reviewing
the effect Of the administration effort
to make business pay the bulk Of the
war bills and running expense Of
government under emergency asserts
that one great cause OF undernroduc-
ton is the excess profits tax It might
have added that taxes and other taxes
laid upon business are the incentives
to proiteering. The tax idea which
seems TO have been TO tax business so
heavily that it must pass on the bur
den to the consumer and then to grab
but enough to leave business enough
to keep It alive and sweep into the
public treasury all but a modicurn Of
the profits thus forced eventually
means general disaster.
The Review argues that:
The amounts needed can be raised
by scientific methods, so that the
burden will be widely distributed, and
split up and spread around in this
way. the levy ceases to be a burden.
ut is contributed to by millions of peo-
pie in such practically intinitesimal
amounts that the operation becomes a
painless one.
