DDS and manners or life are changing rapidly with
labor-s saving inventions and congestions Of cities
Many families now i've in flats which the
tenton OF a wife. is done BY electricity.
There are community kitchens which save
amounts OF food and labor. There are electric
cleaners which do in Is minutes what a woman
once accomplished BY the hardest labor In several
hours. The MULTIPLICATION OF factories for ready
made clothing takes away the necessity OF sewing
and knitting when machines did the work
much better and more cheaply.
Women. freed from drudgery have found
necessary to accept some other OF releasing
their energies. They go offices and factories
because they refuse 70 be idle
The suggestion that every married woman whose
husband is able 10 support her. be refused
rloyrnent is another way OF condemning that
a parasitcal existence
The real truth that the world can use the
labor OF every and every woman and has no
eral welfare and the common resources Of the
world
idleness lies not only unhappiness but de-
struction and from it grow all the evils of which
society complains
II the ability Of nclines towards the
operating of a typewriting machine rather than a
cook stove, the fact OF marriage ought not
to drive her to task for which she is untitled.
The world has not yet reached that stage OF over
inhabitation in which any selection Of the parasite
cal class be INDUCED IN with safety.

THE MOST ELOQUENT SPEECH

one bit Of eloquence shines from among the
ponderous plattudes which the great men Of the
earth have delivered in the few open sessions OF
the disarmament conference.
Hughes, with his lawyers statement of fact.
startled with his boIdness and frankness Balfour,
reacng to the inheritance of ages Of Cecil training
and blood disarmed with his seeming eagerness 10
accept Kato the shrewd Japanese. re-echOed the
tactics of his ally
It remained for the delegate from little Portugal,
once mighty nation with great colonies but now
a republic TO sound the high note Of warning and
to place himself among the leaders for all time.
He spoke but three sentences-and said more
than even Hughes with his great array of detail
Remember that submerged millions will be
heard later II national egotism blocks the purposes
OF this conference" was his declaration.
The submerged millions have never been heard
IN such meetings before It remains to be seen
whether the locked doors OF committee rooms can
barricade their voices
They have been called upon in the centuries to
furnish blood when kings made wars They
have been called upon sacrifice and pay through
cut their lives for the gigantic debts OF
They have fought and died and suffered because
they have been vOiceess at Just such gatherings
where shrewdness OF diplomacy and subtle tricks
OF greedy statesmen have dominated.
VIII that conference listen to the warning OF
VisCount d'Alte or will those submerged millions
be compelled TO wait for other listen their
pleas for relief from their century-old burdens7

PUBLICITY AND JAPAN

News dispatches are filled with declarations that
sso.y Hughes and the American representatives at
the disarmament conference viii accept nothing
lsssa than the first offer made the nations and
dwell upon the rnagnaminity OF offering 70 junk our
warships
= f. g. questionable Interpretation to put upon
daring document which was offered 70 the world
quite as much the deegates
That offer was test OF the authority Of other
nations in their declarations that they wish per-
manent peace.
Junlxing battleships is not waste. but saving II
batteships are longer necessary.
Disarmament would mean the lifting OF gigantic
burdens from peoples who are now on the brink OF
starvation and breakdown because Of their FER
sistence in making war.
There is every evidence that some Of the gov
ernments represented are planning for future wars
and do contemplate the ravage or weak nations
The suggestion OF japan that she be permitted
20 retain more ships than Mr. Hughes said were
necessary for her under peaceful regime was not
as significant as u less-advertised action Of the
leader OF that delegation.
When the newspaper correspondents from Japan
heard the Hughes offer and knowing the demands
OF their own submerged millions" they called
meeting planned round robin appeal to the dele
CATION accept at once and were prepared to caoe
their own action 10 their papers.
Instead they were hurriedy summoned by this
same leader and warned against cabling any such
favorable comment which might be read by the
people OF Japan exciting hopes OF relief among
them.
That was the real story Of Japanese government
direct and autocratic. and working under the old
autocratic theory OF keeping the people in ignor-
ance and feeding what the ruling classes wish
them 10 digest mentally.
II would be more interesting know what ad-
vice. and from whom went TO the japanese delega-
ton before it censored it's own newspaper writer's
and began to bubble percentages.
The news dispatches say that the entire matter
is being settled in informal conversations between
delegates just as Tom and Dick and Bill and the
other ward workers might gather in back room
and decide what sort Of ticket the machine would
name for the election.
The necessity for that policy OF publicity of all
gatherings which many readers Of this newspaper
demanded from their president becomes more ap-
parent as the conference continues

AT THE JAPANESE EMBASSY
By Berton Braley

Here is the hive where the Japanese swarm,
Buzzing like bees that have work to perform,
Tall Japs aud small Japs and fat Japs and thin
Bright-eyed and beaming and yellow Of skin.
Wary Japs, merry Japs Japs that cocky,
Japs from Kobe. Toxic, Nagasaki
Japanese journalists dowdy or natty,
Most Of them specialized all Of them chatty.
Forty more in sort OF a mob,
Loudly, intensely. discussing their job.
Doors open inward and doors open out,
Clerks and attaches go rushing about.
Bearing portfolios full of strange mysteries,
Foreign embroglios, deep secret histories
Oh-here's a simpler, probable hunch-
Full of engraved invitations to lunch
Tongues a chatter and typewriters clatter,
Many feet patter in Office and hall,
Japs very busily around dizzly
Nobody seems to be quiet all.
Down in the basement the chopsticks are clicking.
Somewhere above there's telegraph ticking,
Every ones hurrying scurrying. worrying;
Who said the Japs are stoica race?
They could set us Yankees a pace.
Still in this maestrom of business like noise
Nippon's three delegates hold to their poise:
They sphinxes whose riddle we seek
What will their answer be when they shall speak?
Back OF those lineaments, calm Oriental
Back Of those smiles so excessively dental.
What is the object that Katos arriving at?
What is the goal Shidehara is driving at?
What's Tokugawa's particular plan?
What's in the mind and the heart of japan?
VIII they come out in the open to gain Il?
Or subtly and secretly strive TO attain it?
Darned II know can't speak japanese
All that I'm sure is they're busy bees,
Busy as bees in the summer and spring
Bees who, we hope, will relinqush their sting

GERTRUDE CARPENTER JONES

O6NANOb6 NHhA CIV En- SOiN6S
Gertrude Jones, aged 2S years wife
of Leroy Jones, died at local hos
pital Monday morning at 1880,
after a few days illness following the
birth of a baby daughter, on June
goth.
She leaves to mourn her loss, a
husband and baby, aged mother and
father, besides host of friends.
The funeral services were held at
the Methodist Tabernacle, Wednes-
day afternoon at o'clock, the Rev.
Copprisch of Syracuse, Kansas, be-
ing in charge of the services.
Interment was made in the Liberal
cemetery.
Words cannot express the sympathy
extended to the loved ones by the
untimely death of their beloved wife
and daughter. A profusion of flow
ers expressed in a way, the feeling
of old-time friends and acquain-
tances.
Mrs. Jones was at one time reg
lister of deeds of Seward county, and
her charming manner won for her a
host of acquaintance, and during
her term of office she made many
close friends.
An obituary will be published next
week.
