WOMAN'S PARTY UNDERTAKING

"a feminist manifesto" is what
some term the declaration of princi-
pies which the promoters of the
Woman's Party are to put forth at
their coming convention in Washing
tho, Nov. II and u.
They are trying to assemble these
under % heads or Specific points"
but even SO are not expected to over
look anything in the range of politi-
cal activity, or which might make an
appeal to anyone interested therein
They are going about it in practical
fashion, however, with a committee
to investigate and report on all laws
in all The states of this country
which affect women.
1.-THE report will cover eleven points
summarizing all existing laws in the
United States in regard to labor and
welfare, divorce, alimony, support,
guardianship, sex offenseS, contracts
between husband and wife, inhcri-
lance laws relating to the rights of
husband and wife in each others os-
tate, provisions in state constitutions
in regard to women, and jury serv-
ice. The best laws now in existence
on each one of these points will be
recommended to the conference for
indorsement as a model for lcgisla-
tive action in other states"
Along with other possibilities this
undertaking may make for greater
uniformity of legislation in the sew
eral states. OF this there is a great
and recognized need.

Let us for the moment consider

where living is cheap, and where man
wants but little, that is to keep soul
and body together, he could probably
live very comfortably on 81 a day.

the criticism to their efforts. Experi-
menting on the public tor a century
or so has brought them assurance
that the tried and once true illustra-

II you're wise, when you have
chance to do the other fellow you
vent do it.-Forbes Magazine IN. W
Tl1E FIRST ELECTION RETURNS

1t is impossible from the election
returns received at this hour to arrive
a, a reasonable conclusion respecting
the effect upon the policies OF our
national administration. Until the
make of Congress may be learned
and n fairly comprehensive idea OF
the influences which have brought
about the result may be obtained
the conservative person will not form
definite opinions.
A pronounced reaction from the alb
normal Republican majorities OF two
years ago was expected quite gener-
ally. Aside from this the manifest
temper of the people was such that
local changes, either exceeding or less
enirg the trend, should have been
expected. All thoughtful persons were
aware of the unpopularity which in
eyitably attends retrenchment IN
public expenditure, and which FOR the
moment is likely to accompany a
courageous hewing to the line unless
that may be done in such dramatic
way as to appeal to the Imagination
and fire the zeal. There has been
bcwing to the line but there has been
no red fire attending it, no dramati-
cation of it. In process of time the
courage and loyalty to duty will re-
ceive recognition.
There are features in the early re-
turns which will appeal to all good
citizens, Democrats as well as Re-
publicans. The defeat Of the fragrant
attempt of Pelletier 10 ignore the de-
cisions of the courts and override
them by appeal to sympathy and pre-
iudice was SO emphatic in the face
Of the general trend as to warrant
congratulations to the city OF Boston.
II strengthens faith in the innate
sense of justice among the people.
There were Republicans apprehen-
sive over the magnitude OF the land
slide which swept the Republicans OF
the country into power 1t was like
tidal wave, and tidal waves warrant
apprehension. Neither Republicans
nor Democrats who are far-seeing
wish to see impulse replace reasoned
consistency in action, wish to find
impotence in control Of situations
which only may be safely met with
c;cat understanding of the facts.
None in cooler moments will wish to
see the American people become
tickle minded, yet all must recognize
and be prepared to deal with that
Characteristic in some Of them. Fuller
returns will show whether that per-
centage shows an increase in the re-
suits.

enough to support a mans family.
and the wage is increased to $40 a
day. The bachelor Gompers gets all
the benefits of having a family with
out the care and responsibility of it,
which the married Gompers does not
fancy, and SO the Labor Board fixes
a scale of IS for single men and$10
for married men: employers Mme-
diately discriminate in favor of the
single men and fire them when they
get married. Hence married men are
to be done about it. Just what, only
Mr. Gompers can suggest.
We now come to Mr.. Gompers as
an orator Eight, or even $40 a day
would never do that sort of work.
1t requires a different type of mind
and temperament to be an orator. a
cigar maker may be an orator and an
orator may be a cigar maker, but not
every cigar maker is an orator, while
some orators can make nothing but
noise and even forget how to make
cigars. When a cigar maker be-
Genes an orator his ideas as to what
is a living wage undergo a change.
He cannot live at a hotel and employ
a private secretary and travel and do
all the other things orators do, on the
wages of a cigar maker. The ma
tional~ board that fixes n living wage
will have to adopt a different stand
ard. possibly the British thermal
unit, in determining what is the liv-
inc >yoUe for orators
Yet. considering the subject SER
iously, how can any board determine
living wage that can be just and
reasonable that will fit all parts Of
the country without the inequalities
suggested above. Such a board must
arbitrarily set the standard of living
for that p,arti lar group. The
earnings of .the slowost will equal
those of the quickest, and the labor
of the quickest will slow down to that
of the slOwcst. Will the mode of liv-
ing of an ambitious family be taken
as a standard for that of a Stacker
family? What are to be included in
that standard.
Before there can be a standard of
living there will have to be stan
dard family selected, residing in a
standard neighborhood, and who
hath the wisdom to define such STAN
dards? The Labor Board disclaims
it forthwith.

Significance of Apple Week

NASSSApii
There is need of Apple Week." ctlu-
cationally perhaps more than COM
mercially. 1t will be we'll, of course,
to promote the distribution. sale and
consumption of the enormous apple
crop of the present year. 1t will be
far more useful and to the point how
ever, to get people acquainted with
the apple and appreciative Of its
splendid qualities as fruit.
OF this there is urgent need. For a
large and important part Of the Amer
lean people know little about the APP
pie, and have no taste for it. Notably
in New York, but to a considerable ex-
tent in all large cities. they have be-
come accustomed to Snowy but i'll
favored fruit from the Far West and
have forgotten that there are any other
apples in the world than those which
almost moncpolize the metropolitan
markets. A generation has grown up
in Ignorance Of the favor of really
good apple. and laboring under the de-
fusion that an apple is fruit eatablc
only when cooked.
The irony of tho situation is that
the people of New York, who thus neg
lect and dcspisc one Of the finest
fruits in the world, live in the very
midst of the best apple country in
the world. Nowhere else does the
fruit grow in quite so great pcrfec-
ton of flavor as in New England, New
York State, New Jersey and some
other adjoining regions. This part of
the country is the chosen home of the
best varieties of apples, the Northern
Spy, the Greening, the Bellflower. the
Newtown Pippn the Baldwin. They
may be grown elsewhere, but not so
perfectly. On the Pacific coast, whence
the. chief supply of apples comes, they
are wrctched travcsties upon their
real selves, scarcely recognizable and
scarcely eatablc by anyone who knows
what they ought to be.
These supreme varieties have been
crowded out of the New York and
! other markets by more snowy kinds.
| For there is nothing handsome in
! their colorng and they cannot hold
their own beside apples of vivid GRIM
! son mingled with rich gold SO you
! may search metropolitan lfull stolts
and markets for hours without finding

| Yes, it is a good thing to have "Ap-

much about the duplicty of the
Japanese We are hearing that she
has withdrawn her troops from ST.

would do. There have been other
evidences of a disposition to keep
agreements to the letter. Assuming
that Japan had confidence in the men
she sent to the Washington Confer
ence, and she would not have sent
others, she seemingly has learned
from them that policy of fair play
Is likely to prove the most successful
she could adopt. Possibly, rather,
probably she got better insight into
the purposes Of the leading nations,
clearer comprehensions of the view
