women are still the peasant women
of 1889. They have the same lack

willingness to slave for their mas

the spirit of the dreams of the men.
They have suddenly awakened to
the fact that the town cannot live
without tho conutry, though the
country does not need the town for
it's existence.

cases where they do break away
from women's established sphere
and become active politically they
take, as a rule. a very radical stand.
An American woman. married for
many years to a Frenchman, has
said that in America one can be the
mother of family, a member Of the
golf club, and a political leader all
at the same time-but that in France
one must take ones choice of the

others.

shaken loose by the war and in
many directions since 1914 the wo.
men have ventured into new fields

ones. In modern welfare work there
has been a great accession Of energy.
Many women have taken up with

the palace. 1t was true that their
early life, so completely barren of
all those agreeable pleasures which
renders life interesting to young
girls, had prepared them for this
more severe proof.
In 1914, when war broke out, Olga
was about nineteen and Tatiana sev
enteen. Yet they had never been
to a ball, and had only taken part
in one or two evening parties at the
home of their aunt, the Grand
Duchess Olga Alexandrovna.
At the outbreak of hostilities they
had only one thought-to tighten the
cares and anxieties of their parents
by surrounding them with their
love, evinced by the most touching
and delicate attentions.

General commercial revival hav-

effects of these forces appear in q
further slowing down in basic in

a larger retail distribution of sea-

CHIEF JUSTICE TAFT.

President Harding has appointed Ex-President
Taft Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. There
by he has honored himself and the court more
than he has Mr.. Taft.
To be president of the United States is as
much honor any has aspired to- To add
to it the honor which has come to Mr.. Taft,
is superative treatment indeed 1t should be u
complete balm to whatever wound Mr.. Taft felt
when he failed of reelection to the presidency.
The public generally of all political faiths, will
applaud this appointment. The people had great
faith in Mr. Taft as an executive. They regarded
his political acumen almost joke But with
little dissent he has always been regarded as n
great jurist with broad human instincts.
The Journal predicts that If permitted to live
for ten years, Judge Taft will survive in our
vital history when President Taft is forgotten
as one in the line of presidents
The Johnson Borah opposition to confirmation
was doubtless political. 1t looks as though these
gentlemen might not get on we'll with the Hard
ing administration. Perhaps this may prove a good
thing, If true. A thorn in the flesh" kept Saint

"But a child is combining, Dick,

Dick grunted. We often had
such little talks, and I accused him
of being an old fogy; of always
wanting to do what called the
Sunday school act. Later, only a
few years later, what wouldn't l

and talk the same.

THE NATIONAL ECONOMIC LEAGUE.

Mr.. John Baron Burg has supplied us with some
National Economic League. or course all readers
already knew that Ex-President Taft was president
of the league and that it was the publisher of
monthly magazine, The Consensus But we were
not informed to what group of men and women
formed as to the group who answered the question
naire concerning labor.
Men, such Frank A. vanderip, Lindley
M Garrison, David Starr Jordan and John Hays
Hammond, officer the organization. Frank w.
Clancy and Francis c. Wilson and l.. A. Hughes
Df Santa Fe; George L. Downer Louis Ilfeld Bishop
Howden and Mr.. Burg of Albuquerque, and other
New Mexico are members of the national
council.
These local all excellent gentlemen,
serious students and all desire to be fair We do
not know whether or not any of them answered
the QUESTIONABLE under discussion.
Perhaps 1t is just to that these men are
representative Of the general membership If So
the league is not open to the charge of being
designedlv fixed in favor of the open shop.
Some Of these definitely in sympathy
with the working None perhaps are fairly
representative Of the labor view point
Since men OF such type vote, by a nine to
one majority in favor of the open shop IT
should give food for thought to labor leaders
Labor should learn just why such a majority of
these men against the closed shop The reasons
may be Illuminating.

named above to use its columns for a statement
of the reasons for their individual positions wheth-
