A New View on Women Workers.

NHISS ALICE PAUL places the whole sub
INI ject of welfare laws for women in new
light-as positive drawbacks rather than benefits.
Because of the restrictions imposed employers,
sshe says women cannot be considered in the same
ecass with men as workers in most industries. The
sother SEX whose hours and conditions Of labor are
influenced only by physical endurance, always will
1e given preference, according to the noted femin-
ist leader. She points to two women's organiza-
lions in Washington which have discharged female
workers and substituted men in order to ex-
penses.
-, Miss Paul makes eloquent defense of her
-sex-but it is defense which few of those she
tres to benefit will appreciate. Every bit of legis
laton passed to tighten the lot of women has been
considered positive advance in the humanitarian
standards of the United States, boon to health
and morality, and benefit to the future race OF
Americans Women themselves, for the most part,
have recommended and fought for this legislation.
Now it causes less of a shock to hear
Miss Paul say that it is not only worthless but
harmful.
That there is good deal of foundation for
her argument we do not question. There seems to
be no unmixed good in the world The finest acts
OF the human race have been attended by some
unpleasant features which impressed the cynics
who sought for faults rather than for virtues.
The progress of woman from the status of a
chattel to the status of citizen has been COM
plicated affair.
The progress of man from slavery has been
slow Women, as whole, will be better off when
they have reached stage of absolute equality with
man. But Miss Paul is, perhaps, little hasty.
She is impatient that the millennium of wonanhood
cannot come today-and perhaps she fails to con-
slider the suffering and inconvenience that would be
cntailed il the progress fastened out of ali
due proportion.

Gods Celestial College.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Now and again my attention has
been attracted by articles in your

dealing with the proof of Gods
existence.
Mr.. Thomas Michou's judicial de-
termination to recognize as evil
dence nothing but uncontrovertible
facts causes me to wonder as to
his age: for everyone should know
and admit that God, as pictured
by the Bible and the Christian
teachings. is impossible.
To nv mind, Mr.. Lawrence
Stark's argument dealt with rea-
sonable probabilities. and. If. as
seems to be conceded, the masses
believe through superstition. the
intelligent by observation and the
scientists admit that each new dis
coyery tends. to strengthen their
belief in some overruling force of
omnipotept power and wisdom, it
seems that we all believe it, SO
why argue? -
There are four all-important
questions: Where did we come
from? What are we here for.
Where ar. we going? And why?
Admitting that the physical oooy
has attained it's present perfection
through evolution. but holding to
the belief that an all-wise CON-
trolling force has endowed 1t with
an everlasting soul. then the You,
or /, or We must be taken to mean
the Soul. and II 1t has life ever
lasting, surely 1t is not new but
has existed as well as shall exist
forever.
Do we believe that God made the
millions of suns and worlds for the
inhabitants Of this little globe to
look at and admired Are we so
imbued with the old belief that
God made man in his own image
that we can not imagine God made
creatures of other physical form on
other planets?
II our bodies are made from dust
and return to dust, then what
more does the shape or nature OF
the body signify than the length OF
the nose or the color Of the eyes:

Look to Your Coal Bins.

THERE is more than prospect of a

The cause will be beyond the control of local
dealers or local officials and these men can do

1t is a popular fallacy that the
successful writer must live in
Gotham to be In close touch with
magazine editors and publishers.
The truth is that the majority of
the eminent noyeiists do not live
nor do they often come here. 1t is
the mecca for pot-boilers more than
the successful.
Irwin Cobb Is selling his big coun-
try place near Ossining and there
are runors that he may spend the
most of his time in Southern
France. Melville Davisson Post re-

Arthur Somers Roche is taking his
family to France this fall to re-
main indefinitely and Dom Byrne
has taken up his residence in Eng

Julian Street lives at Princeton.
Meredith Nicholson, Booth Tarkins-
ton and George AIDE in Indianapolis
and so 1t goes. The editor of to-
day travels to see the successful
writer in lieu of the writer coming
to him.
Instead of novelists desiring to
be in close touch with editors and
publishers. a big part of their time
Is spent in eluding them. When a
writer has attained success he is
always called upon to do more
work than Is humanity possible.
