Let me not live as if time was short
Thoreau-
UNVEILED TURKISH WOMEN

We live in world of startling changes. ano
east and west have not only met but are in fact
becoming every day more like each other. The
yelled women of the Turkish harem have through
economic necessity been compelled to unvel their
faces. Thirteen centuries have passed since Mo
manned introduced his religion among the
Arabs. In insisting on women wearing wells
the prophet Of Islam was intoxicating female
modesty, but the jealousy of the polygamist
probably tended to perpetuate the custom.
It is, however, the high cost of living which
lis responsible for the dwelling of the Moham-
medan women. The Turkish husband has to
practice what for him is rigid economy in the
supply of feminine beauty for his harem, and
the women who have been turned adrift have
had to earn livelihood. In the rural districts
women can do farm work, and so can assist
their husbands. They can make themselves
useful in olive groves and in orchards. But in
Constantinople women have to seek employment
as saleswomen in shops, and, of course, wells
could not be conveniently worn while they were
engaged in this business It is even said that
women have been employed in sweeping the
streets. The rigorists of Islam protest against
state OF affairs which necessitates the assoca-
ton of Moslem women with men of another
creed, but religious prejurice has had to give
way to economic pressure
During the war women became nurses and
learned how to attend on the wounded soldiers.
Thus, for the first time in the history of Tur-
key, woman became a worker Turkish women
are now employed in telephone exchanges, in
banks, and in workshops. The female iantor
and the female streetcar conductor may be seen
in Constantinople, unveiled just like the oc-
cidental woman, and soon the women of Islam
may be running elevators
It is not at all certain that the chonge viii be
entirely for the better. Modesty has always
been a characteristic Of the women of the orient
and if the abolition of what was pious chs.
tom leads to the opposite extreme it is possible
hatbrazen shamelessness may be one Of the col.
latral results Of abandoning the veil

Sam aompers Blows Up.

New York Herald: Before the pri
maries and before the election Mr..
Sam Gompers went storming up and
down the country with his blatant
threats that he had MILLIONS OF
American Federation labor votes to
launch against public officers who
had refused to be his political
lackeys and to deliver to candidates
| for office who would lick his boots.
Mr.. Sam Gompers had tens of
thousands of labor votes in Iowa
with which to defeat Senator Cum
minis for having prepared railway
measure to serve the people of the
United States rather than the pro-
fessional labor politicians. But with
all that Mr.. Sam Gompers could do
and with all that the Plumb leaguers
could do against Cummins. and in
spite of the fact that the senator has
scarcely been able to leave his sick
bed throughout the campaign, Cum
minis is reelected by 100000 to per-
haps as much as 200,OO0--anyhoW, by
a landslide plurality.
Mr. Sam Gompers also had tens of
thousands of labor votes in Kansas
with which to obliterate Governor
Allen because in the coal strike the
governor IllAcu Soei W saw IdS
people of Kansas from freezing to
death and afterward got laws passed
to prevent the recurrence of such
sacrifices of the public's comfort,
health and safety. But Governor
Allen isn't obliterated. He is still
going to be right on the job with a
good fat majority.
Mr.. Sam Gompers had hundreds OF
thousands of labor votes in New
York to deliver to Mr.. Cox. But in
the whole state of New York, with
perhaps a full million of women vot-
ing, Mr.. Cox polled only meagre,
pitiful half million votes. In the city
of New York alone the democratic
party, without the assistance of Mr..
Sam Gompers and the Plumb
Ieaguers, and with no women voting,
has been able to do almost as well as
that.
Mr.. Sam Gompers had millions of
labor votes in the United States to
deliver to Mr.. Cox. But they didn't
show up anywhere in the ballot
boxes. And Mr.. Sam Gompers never
has been able to convert his political
bullying into ballots from the day he
first tried 1t, years ago, on Repre-
sentative Littlefield in Maine. down
to his latest fizzle in trying to Com
perize the American nation.
1t is as much to the shining credit
of American labor, organized as well
as uEorganized, that 1t cannot be led

coming administration should not. in
my opinion, be thrown away.
Much may still be done by the
/ president. Until last Tuesday, Mr.
| Wilson did not know what the yer.
dict of the people would be on the
league of nations, and up to that
time, as servant of the people. he
had right to insist, to a certain ex.
tent, on what he supposed would be
| best for this nation; and no one will
question but that the president did
insist.
Now the people have spoken, and
in so doing have told the president
IN no uncertain manner what they
do not want with regard to the great
issue OF the campaign just closed.
Mr. Bryan suggests that Mr.. Wilson
resign, letting the vice president sue
coed to the office of president; then
for Mr.. Marshall to appoint the presi-
dent-elect, Harding, to the office of
secretary of state; then for Mr.. Mar
shall to resign, allowing Mr.. Harding
to become president at once, thus
enabling the republicans to carry
out the will of the people.
This suggestion of Mr.. Bryan is
the outgrowth of the idea that Mr..
Wilson would combat the work of a
republican congress again as in the
past. Let us hope that such will not
be the case. Mr. Wilson can no
longer doubt what his duty is, and
as a servant of the people he should,
and we hope will, meet the condition
as it is, remembering that he is not
president of the democrat party, but
OF the whole nation

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Mr.. Wilson
once said he had "a single-track
mind" Unfortunately. it was mar
row track and couldn't handle the
heavy traffic of practical common
sense. Here is where he differs from
another democratic president, Grover
Cleveland. The latter had standard
gauge track on which he ran solid
trains of reason and logic. He did
not idealize, but he did attend
strictly to business Mr.. Harding is
of similar practical personality. He
will give the country a business ad-
ministration and help the nation to
get on solid ground once more.
Knoxville Express: What has be-
come of the old fashioned idea that
the women didn't want to vote, and
wouldn't go to the polls if they could
vote?
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: Now is
the time to temper the wind to
shorn political lambs.
Jefferson Bee: Nobody who went
to the polls could fail to recognize a
radical difference in the spiritual
atmosphere Of the place. There was
more decorum and more dignity in
the performance of the greatest and
most sacred single act OF citizen
ship. In place of being dragged
down to a lower level by participa-
tan in voting, the women brought
the act Of voting and the place OF
voting up to their higher level of
moral and spiritual ideas. There was
no mistaking it. The effect was spon-
taneous and without effort.
Des Moines Register: Mr.. Bryan
now has company in the cooked hat
circle.
Waterloo Times Tribune: Yes, it's
all over, but the campaign has just
started for Hi Johnson.
Marshalltown imes-Republican: It
is to be hoped that the Iowa Home
stead will fall into less vindictive
hands.

election, blows up like windbag.

Rev. CorSer Breaches
 Sermon on Bishop Rowe

Rev. Corser delivered a Bishop Rowe sermon at St. Philips last Sunday evening. (twas 25 years November 30 since the Bishop was called from his parish in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan, to be. come Bishop of Alaska. MT. Cor ser spoke of the hardships en- countered, the dangerous routes by which the Bishop has travelled, his unselfshness and the un- daunted spirit of the man as he has gradually widened the scope of his work and won friends ev- erywhere, He has always sensed the means by which he could help the men with whom he came in contact and by meeting the needs of the various communities, "a hospital here and a place where men could gather for decent so- ciability there, he has won his way into their hearts and fur thered the work of the Church. To commemorate the Bishops 25 years of faithful service, an endowment fund of $10O, 1000 is being raised all over the country. This fund will enable Bishop Rowe to carry on his work in Alaska without having to make frequent trips east to solicit funds. Financial worries and these trips to interest distant churches have often tired the Bishop more than the hazardous dog-sled travel which is a part of the work in the north, MT. Corser explained that while the Wrangell church could do little to help this year, some- thing will be attempted next year. Meanwhile, the Guild has given $25 to the fund with the promise of a larger amount later. Gov ernor Riggs, Dean Christian of Juneau and others are members of the Endowment Fund commit tee.
