Holy Land Takes on Airs

An event that is occurring so
quietly as almost to escape notice
is the undermining of the Holy
Land. Jerusalem is being brought
down to date with new-fangled
building ordinances which prescribe
the height Of new business build
lngs, the material of which they
are to be constructed, the propor-
tion of the lot which they may
cover, and so on. Just now, a
plan that is receiving much atten-
ton is one for the erection OF a
university on the Mount Of Olives.
Other cities of Palestine are being
renovated in the same way.
The one great difficulty that is
faced now is that Of securing water
to irrigate the land, which is nearly
a desert, but which would be fruit
full if water could be secured.
There is supply not far away;
but it is under the control of
France and she has lately refused
permission to make use of it.
though so far as known she has no
use for it herself.
incidentally, we are learning the
disappointing lesson that national
sel6shness has not all been rooted
out yet, Notwithstanding the hard
experiences Of the last few years.
This is really the one obstacle in
the way Of a truly successful league
of nations. Too many seem to
want to use it to further their own
selfish policies or to protect them
in ill-gotten gains.

Where Laws Affect Women

The last session Of congress UNI
der the democratic administration
is under way. Like every session
of this-sort, it will do nothing in
the way Of solving most of the
really vital problems that are de-
handing solution at the earliest
possible moment. This is because
it represents an administration
that has been discredited and there.
fore can not carry its program any
further forward but is still in con-
troll of the government until
March 4.
At that, there are some meas.
ures to come before the present
congress, which are actually of
very great Importance but not
truly political in character. One
of these, of which we shall be hear
ing soon, is the bill offered by Sen
ator Kenyon, of Iowa, providing
for the establishment of bureau
of social welfare, the head of which
Audubon County journal. (Exira, Iowa) 1884-1993, 1920-12-16

shall be a member of the presi-
dents cabinet. 1t is a woman's
bill in the truest sense, for this bu-
reau is to devote itself to the solu-
ton of problems relating mainly to
the welfare of women and children.
One of these is the protection of
motherhood; another the regula-
ton of labor conditions of both wo-
men and children; another the
safeguarding of the home, which is
tending to disintegrate; and still
another, the control of those par
ticular forms of immortality and
vice which tend to destroy all that
is good and wholesome in both
home and social life.
At present it appears that the
bill will be passed during this ses-
sion and furthermore it seems
probable that in this case, the head
of the department thus created
will be woman. At least it is
known that Senator Kenyon, him
self, favors this and also that Pres
ident-Elect Harding, who will of
course appoint his own cabinet
members, is heartily in accord with
the plan. So it is likely that be-
fore another year has rolled around
we shall see woman in the presi-
dents cabinet.

forbade the display of Old Glory
from the summit OF the great shaft.
1t is said that the women were
quite put out when they found that
their project was forbidden.
Straightway they went to Cover
nor Coolidge, who is to be our next
vice-president, and laid their
troubles before him. To his credit
it should be said that he found a
way to pacify both sides, which is
one of the secrets of success in pub
lie service. "Why not" he asked,
"fy the flags from the dome of the
state house, instead?" Sure
enough, why not? In fact, to the
minds of the women, this seemed
just about as good as to fly them
from the monument. And so this
was done, for Governor Coolidge,
himself had control of the state
house, and so was able to deliver
the use Of the dome to the ladies
without interference from any old
fogies of his own sex.

Storm Brewing in Missouri

United States Senator Spencer,
OF Missouri, has introduced an in
novation that is causing the poll
ticians of his state no end of worry
and trouble. He has issued no.
tice to the effect that in making
recommendations for appointments
to federal Offices in the future, he
will be guided equally by the adj
vice of women and men among his
constituents.
This is NOT according to the
plans of the political leaders, gen
orally, for they usually pick the
men who are to fill the appointive
Offices, of whom there is vast
number, without help from any
one. Moreover, this particular
part Of their business has common
ly been kept on strictly private
basis and attended to in secret.
Political leaders have claimed this
right because of their influence;
and in turn they have used it to
make their influence still greater.
In this way, they have made them
selves so powerful that they could
control elections, whence they have
come to be called "bosses.
This might be all right if these
bosses were good men who always
threw their influence on the side of
right. But unfortunately they are
usally men Of the other type. In
fact, it is usually by bargaining
with che lower elements of society
that they make themselves SO
strong; and good people will not
stoop to this sort Of thing. This
reveals the whole secret of why
politics is so corrupt as rule.
Also it shows why the plans of
the bosses will all be upset when
the women are allowed to interfere
as they will be henceforth in our
sister state. They will not stand
for the methods or the candidates
of the politicians, but will gener-
ally demand cleaner methods and
better men. We may we'll watch
with interest to see which one
comes out ahead, for there is surely
a political storm brewing in Mis-
souri,.

A Bay State squabble

A rather amusing episc 20 .oc-
Cured in Boston on Thanksgl, ..,g
Day.
The women of that self-satis6ed
place decided that it would be lit
ting to fly flags from the top of
Bunker Hill monument as sign
of gratitude and Joy over their new
citizenship rights, which had finally
been achieved after so long q
struggle.
The voice of authority vetoed
their plan. The trouble was that
the Park Commissioners of that
conservative city were not much
in sympathy with the idea Of wo-
mems suffrage anyway; and as
they had control of the park in
which the historic monument
stands, they Matched up some spe-
cious excuse and upon this basis

BILE. Zoe thought it unthinkable
that they should venture out in the
raging storm, but Max begged so
hard and was so visibly disappoint-
ed that Allen volunteered to take
HIM in the sled as it was the only
vehicle with which it would be
possible to get through the drifts
which we're piling up so rapidly.
They started almost Immediately
after breakfast. Inside of the barn
yard gate the snow had piled up
until the horses were almost hidden,
but it had not yet become packed
and they wallowed through it into
the more open highway. Here the
storm struck them squarely and the
wind was driving the snow before
it.
1t was we'll along in the after
noon when Allen returned. The
storm continued and he had made
arrangements for Max to stay in
town until the road became pass
able. The storm beat with such
binding fury that he had almost
despaired Of being able to face it
on his return and had it not been
for the line Of telephone poles it
would been impossible to follow the
road in the binding snow.
All night and the next day the
storm continued with undated fury
but by Wednesday morning it had
spent itself. The wind had gone
down and the snow had ceased but
the weather was bitterly cold.

Zoe !; !; !;
Her Problems

Zoe's thoughts were busy after
this conversation with her mother.
She had not dreamed of such con-
ditions in any household as those
which her mother had described as
existing at the Leonard house.
The question what would / do
under the circumstance" kept OBJ
truding itself before her mental
vision. She felt quite sure that she
would be found wanting if she were
tried as Mrs. Leonard had been tried.
That Mrs. Leonard had developed
lovable qualities under such adverse
circumstances, that she had grown
more sweet and cheerful, bright and
sunny while subject to such tyranny
seemed to her unbelievable.
And yet Mrs. Leonard had proved
her attractive qualities while she
was with them when Homer was
sick, and Mr.. Leonard had shown
his tyrannical treatment of her that
morning wAen she wanted to 90 to
the city with them. Zoe had no
reason to doubt her mothers story.
In fact she felt that it was true.
At this stage of her thoughts her
mind invariably turned to her own
happy surroundings, her kind hus-
band and affectionate children, and
in her heart she thanked God that
He had dealt more leniently with
her.
He knows | would make a fail
ure Of my life with such trials" she
thought, that | couldn't live with
out love and a semblance of justice.
| am glad this is not a world of
chance and that crooked things are
to be made straight sometime
Zoe could not understand Mrs.
Leonard's fortitude but she respect
ed and revered her because of it.
The problems of her own life and
its trials paled into insignifcance
by the side of those Of her less ia
vored sister.
One Monday morning few weeks
later they awoke to find themselves
in the grip of an Iowa blizzard.
School for the younger children was
not to be thought Of, but Max in
sisted that he could not Mrs with
out great loss in his work. Max
was brilliant scholar and the
thought Of giving others chance
to outstep him in his classes could
not be tolerated. Clemantine said
nothing but inwardly she rejoiced at
the prospect of day out of school.
Clemantine did not share Max's en-.
thusiasm in the pursuit of know
ledge, her attention was given more
to admiring the pretty things which
came in her line of vision than te
her school duties, and her greatest
delight was in copying the new de.
signs which took her fancy in the
dress of her associates.
And yet Clemantine was no near
scholar. Her pride and her desire
to please her parents spurred her on
and she was rather above the av
erage in her classes.
