Tho Higher Education of Women.
If I were a millionaire I should
endow a chair for teaching the art OF
being a lady in every girls school
turnout the land.
OF course. I know this is q terribly
mid-Victorian sentiment that will
cause all Gappers, and female what
around in pants, TO turn up their
marshmallow noses at me in disgust,
for the modern girl looks upon being
a lady with scorn and contempt She
isn't lady. She hasn't the looks, nor
the dress, nor the manners OF a lady.
And she doesn't want to be a lady,
or have anybody to mistake her for
one.
Yet, nevertheless and notwithstand-
ing, there is no other career to which
a woman can aspire that is SO fine as
that of being a lady. There is no
other charm so compelling There is
no other magic so potent with which
she can conjure. There is no other
graft equal 10 it.
The whole world gives way before
a lady, and makes the path smooth
before her feet. The toughest man
pays her Difference; the most selfish
steps aside that she may pass
Whether she Inarries, or whether
she goes into business, just to be a
lady is an invaluable asset to any
woman.
Therefore. I should try to revive
this lost art, and the very first thing
that should teach girls, as a founda-
ton stone of ladyhoodness, so to
speak, would be how ito dress, and
how to carry themselves, and make
the most of whatever physical attrac-
lions nature has endowed them with,
for I hold it to be a woman's Chris
tian duty to be as good looking as
possible.
would impress upon the youthful
feminine mind that fine feathers make
fine birds, and that even a homely
bird is better for a little borrowed
plumage. Then I would ground my
students in the charm of contrast so
that they would know that what at
tracts man to women is her difference
from him, not her aping of him, and
that no man is particularly drawn to
a woman in knickerbockers who looks
like a caricature of his little brother.
Then should teach my girls good
manners. If, as has been truly said,
manners make the man, still more do
they make the woman, for woman
without gFaciOusness, without tact,
without suavity, is an anathema, no
matter if she possesses all of the
cardinal virtues. If I could teach
girl only one thing, I should teach her
gracious manners, for with that as an
asset she could come pretty near to
getting all the balance for herself.

a young Chilean woman in this
country has asked the National
League of Women Voters to name for
her twelve great and good women Of
the United States that she may write
them up for her home paper The
request recalls an occasion when Mark
Twain. being a guest at a banquet in
London. was called upon to respond
TO the toast Woman" In mention
ing the great and good women of
history" ne headed the list with Cleo
patra and Lucretia Borgia. It was
said that the Britishers experienced
some difficulty in discovering the
joke. But they finally became accus-
toned to the great American humor-
ist and when later at banquet of
the St. Andrew society he named as
noted Scotchmen Ben Lomond. Ben
Nevis and Ben D'IsraeH they realized
that he was "spoofing'' them.

ALL MUST LIVE.

Recently one of the Democrat lead
ers in the senate charged that the
state of Connecticut had become pros
porous under a protective tariff law.
Republican senators OF course gladly
upon the Democrat speaker asserted
that this prosperity had been made
possible by the importation of cheap
foreign labor.
There is little to be gained by a
discussion of this sort except as it IL
illustrates the fact that legislation can
not permanently displace the eco
nornic law. If a tariff be made so
high that foreign workmen cannot
compete with outside countries, they
will go to those countries and work.
for they must live. II they be ex-
cIuded from one country they will
fipd their way to another.
The world was made for the peo-
pie that are in it and one nation can
not be permanently deprived of a fair
chance for existence without bringing
retribution not only on those respon-
sible but upon the rest of the world.
Protectionists hold that labor
should remain in Europe and be there
employed in the production of goods.
the goods produced with that labor at
wages cheaper than the same labor
would receive in America would be
shipped to the United States without
the imposition OF q protective duty.
That being true, they say, the Ameri-
can laborer would not be freed from
the competition of the cheap labor; he
would be in competition with that
cheap labor while working IN Europe
instead of the same labor at far high
err wages in the United States Mani
testify, it is urged. it is better for
American labor to compete with the
higher paid labor in the United States
than to compete with that same la
Dor at lower wages in Europe.
But the aim If this class of econo-
nists has been to eliminate competi-
ton with this class OF labor either in
Europe or here. There lies their err
ror. A monopoly of any sort Is not
popular with the American people.
They demand the right to buy in a
free and unrestricted market.

cess he must undergo upon taking his
seat. In most cases it is effective,
and the leaders secure another follow
err and the constituents back at home
lose a defender of their rights.
But III many cases the senator or
congressman is not entirely to blame.
The responsibility rests primarily up
on the voters who send him forth to
battle for them.
When we send an army out to fight
we support that army to the utmost
of our resources. Without such sup
port its morale would be broken and
defeat would be its portion.
We should do as much for our rep
resentatives in Washington, for they
are fighting our battles of peace just
as much as the army fights them in
time of war.
A district should advise it's repre-
sentative as to what it needs. Then it
should actively support that represen-
tative in his demands. The leaders"
should be given plainly to understand
that if they desire the future support
of that district they can expect it
only upon condition that the district
receives its just proportion of the
bacon" that is so lavishly handed out.
When a district takes this attitude
and follows it up it generally gets
what it wants within reason. The
leaders soon take alarm and cease
their Establishments in their efforts to
switch the senator or congressman a
way from his path of duty to his con-
stituents.
Leaders talk-constituents vote
and both leaders and representatives
keep these facts in mind.
We should tell our representative
in Washington what We want, and
then make our demands united and
stronger than the influences opposed
to US.
Even a leader" can tell which way
the wind blows when he watches
straw.

THEIRDlJTY
AND OURS

Our public officials owe a duty to
Us and we owe duty to them.
We send senators and congress
men to Washington to make laws for
US. We elect a president whose duty
it is to see to a proper administration
of those laws.
When senator or congressman
goes to the capitol he possesses a
hazy idea of what his constituents de-
sire. If he is newly elected his heart
burns and throbs with a laudable am
bition to accomplish wonderful things
for ''his people," He is determined to
send home the bacon.
When he reaches Washington he
finds that he is not half as big as he
is when at home. In fact, the lead
-ers" promptly give him to understand
that he is a very little potato in
mighty big basket.
He learns, also, thatif he is a good
Indian" and votes as the leaders die
tate he may be graciously permitted
to send home silver of bacon where
he had hoped to send a slab.
He is duly impressed with the fact
that big fish in congress require much
feed, while the minnows must content
themselves with the crumbs.

I()MAKE
LIST()F CATTLE
FORSALE

County Agent R. A. Peterson has
completed arrangements to take a
mail census of the cattle for sale IN
Wood county. This is being done by
sending out missionaries to breeders
asking for the number of heifer calves,
yearling heifers, bred heifers, cows to
freshen this fall, cows to freshen next
spring of grade and purebred cattle
for sale and the number and breed Of
purebred bulls for sale. In this way
he hopes to get the buyer in touch
with the seller quicker.
In his letter to the breeders Mr..
Peterson says:
There is a liberal inquiry for dairy
cattle and for that reason [ wish to
get a fairly good estimate of the kind
and number Of cattle, both grades and
purebreds, that are for sale in the
county. If you have any cattle for
sale please fill out the enclosed form
and return It to me as soon a S possible.
I am sending this letter to those list
ed in the breed and testing associa-
lions SO will not reach every cattle
owner in the county. If some Of your
neighbors have cattle for sale, shall
appreciate hearing from them also.
In listing bulls for sale a few words
relative to such things as Individual
ity, breeding, record Of dam, price,
etc, will always help the sale of the
animal.
So far as local demand is concerned,
one man wants a Holstein bull calf,
another wants Guernsey bull, third
wants two grade Guernsey heifers
due to freshen this fall, another wants
two purebred Holstein heifer calves,
| and fifth one wants two purebred
Holstein heifers about a year old.
What have You to offer? What do
you want to buy? Boost your COM
munity.
