WOMEN AND MEDICINE

In Europe, years ago, .Epman
named Hildegarde wrote a notable
book on medicinal plants. In those
days the men were too busy, bother
ing about dogmas Of relisloa Hand
medicine. and the study OF herbs was
thought beneath their notice.
1t was the women. however, who
mostly conducted the hospitals and
cared for the sick, and thus they
learned much OF great value. They

The Proper Course.

nRESIDENT HARDING takes proper att-
tude when he refuses to comment extern
poraneousy on the present industrial situation.
The country is on the verge of hysteria. What
ever the President says is apt to be interpreted in
many ways His plain meaning will be twisted
ngenously to suit the OF the individual This
sort Of thing causes much embarrassment to the
Chief Executive
Seldom has President of the United States
been placed in more delicate situation in peace
time. Two groups Of American citizens are at Odds
Any, statement from the White House is likely to
do tremendous good or tremendous harm, accord
ing to the circumstances.
Mr.. Harding realizes this fact. He has ex-
pressed commendable determination to weigh his
words Whatever he says the coal railroad
strike will be expressed in official communications
where il, will be much more difficult to imply unn-
tended meanings.
The situation is too involved to permit of
extemporaneous interviews from the Chief Execu-
tive.
Newspaper correspondents who have attended
the recent White House conferences impressed
by the Presidents sincerity in his efforts to settle
the strikes with fairness both parties involved.
They hardly blame him for weighing his words
with extreme care.

The Woman Without a Country.

n DOR EMMA GOLDMAN! Wherever the
/ foolish old woman goes she is hustled along
The United States didn't want her. Russia didn't
want her. Now she has been denied the right to
reside in Finland, Sweden Germany and Great
Britain. The chances that she will not be
welcomed by any other government, civilized or
uncivilized, now established this planet
Emma can not understand why heads of gov
ernments dislike the prospects OF being murdered.
She can not comprehend, for instance, why the
President OF the United States has an unconquerable
prejudice against the bullets of anarchists Be-
cause rulers all unwilling to suffer the fate Of
President Mckinley. of which she is accused of
being responsible, she considers them ntolerable
tyrants.
What is to be done with the queer old woman
Eventually we predict, she will sneak back
into the United States and remain unmolested so
long as she keeps her mouth shut. Already she
has come to the conclusion that this country. with
all its faults. is the best existing the earth
But, until she does reach the point where she
can keep quiet, it will be dangerous for her to
try to evade an American immigration officer

So when ] came here in 1918 and saw
such numbers Of colored people for
me nrst time since early childhood
looked at them as a race. and '.ver-

with their own race. did not notice
them any more.
Last Sunday. going ahead of me

When / got closer / saw that they
were colored. Their apparel had not

one in gray. Their hats and shoes
harmonized. So commenced to look
around. took several street car
rides. The big change was apparent
everywhere. Even their shambIing
walk was gone. They were alert and
rested looking. What had caused Il?
Answer: Shorter hours and a living
wage, Churches and temples have
been built all over the world. and re-
ligious and social uplifters all over
the world have been and are laying
down their lives TO show humanity
the light. but in countries where the
hours of labor are from sun to sun.
or at best from dawn TIL dark. there
is no time left and no strength left
to keep clean and think IL. May the
labor laws that have produced this
change I'm a race right in our own
city of Washington become the Cos
pei of the world.
Before spiritual and mental ad-
vaneemcnt and development are pos
sible there must be a little leisure
for study and relaxation and a little
surplus over and above the price Of
bare necessities. The people who are
obliged by hard circumstances to get
along with scarcely the bare necessi-
ties may minister better 10 the copn-
fort OF others more favorably placed
in life, but they have no life OF their
own. and every human being who
walks. talks. wears clothes. lives in
houses and who performs useful serv-
ice in the world-that person is en-
Titled TO a few hours Of leisure each
day and TO a living wage for the

Effect of Prohibition.

To the Editor The Washington Herald:
Ever since you have insuEurated
the Open Court. I have been a de-
voted reader of the same. and as IL
Is the first time | have given my
opinion on any of the numerous
questions brought to light hope you
will grant me a small space in your
columns on the question Of prohibi-
tion and | am confident that / will
find that more than one Of your
readers will agree with me. al
though / don't propose to go into
the question at great length. I am
against prohibition, but strongly in
favor OF temperance (there is a dis
tinction with a difference). I have
read the arguments OF both Messrs.
Wheeler and Wilson: this is no re-
Election on the inventors Of sewing
machines: but certainly on the in
ventors of false statistics Now
while / have no means OF showing
whether they are right pr wrong as
to their comparisons on the occu-
pants of our jails, neither do I ac-
cuse them of misleading statements
of commission. but they certainly
are guilty of the crime Of omission.
They both have made comparisons
ds " Nht Jdll
before and after prohibition. Now
only ask them to be fair to the pub
lie. As long as they are experts
on statistics. when they are through
with the jails. let them visit the
hospitals and make comparisons on
the number of drug addicts before
and after prohibition. also compare
the holdups. murders and kindred
crimes. OF course / am fair minded
enough not to attribute these crimes
to liquor. but to obtain the money
to purchase the same naturally
there are exceptions). Personally ]
prefer near beer to the real thing
and shall continue to drink IL In
preference should beer ever come
into use again. In conclusion 1
would like to call your attention 20
an item OF news in recent issue
of The Herald: II refers TO one OF our
honored and well-known legislators.
In fairness to the Senate, / will
state that IL was a member of the
House, who. after committee meet
ing was observed feeling his pock-
cts and wound up with the remark
Il am not as young as ! used TO be,
nor am ! as strong as i used to be.
but ! can lick the man who took
that flask out OF my pocket; II ts
not ofen you get as good liquor as
was In that flask" The article also
stated that this member voted for
prohibition and also voted TO over
throw the Presidents veto. This
brings to mind the well-known re-
mark In the distant past attributed
to one Of our lawmakers. Don't do
as We do. but do as we tell you to
do" or such sterling stuff are our
legislators composed.

Showing the Proper Spirit.

THE DUKE OF LEINSTER, a British title
holder and Irish Iandholder, shows consid-
cradle foresight and good judgment. He has left
London for Ireland to enlist in the Free State
army. He will take orders from sons of his for.
mer tenants and, we do not doubt, will make a
good soldier
The duke knows that the new Ireland is a
permanent reality. While other Irishmen with
British titles their lost prestige, write en-
bittered letters to the newspapers and make silly
speeches in the house of lords this man considers
the most practical method of regaining what he
has lost
He remain in London and strive in tragic
fashion to impress folks with his lost glory. He
can become that most pitiful OF human beings
the aristocrat with nothing but blue blood to sup
port his pretensions. On the other hand he can
become energetic, tolerant, useful citizen OF the
new Ireland. In this way he can justify his ars-
tocracy in the eyes of all men.
He has chosen the latter course. In the court
records Of the British Empire he still will be the
Duke of Leinster. But he can get far higher hon.
in the service records which in few years will
be filed in the archives OF the Irish Free State gov
ernment In Ireland he will be known as a soldier
and citizen. We presume he is man enough to
prefer this distinction

There is considerable justice in this contention
1t is impossible to drive recklessly past such a

Before acceding to the wishes of the Thomas

have resulted because of such houses?
If they have not proved prominent cause of

be gained by facilitating reckless driving
IT, however, records show that many accidents

the kind 1t takes woman of oour-

She fumbled the menu awhile and
spoke rapidly In French to the at

sensed the unusual-perhaps the
dramatic. In a few moments her
escort arrived-a man with the
erect hgure of a grenadier. He
was stiff1y brusque in manner.
AS the tables filed and couple
after couple swung out to the dance
moor they remained in their seats.

wave of her hand he ordered the
check and they departed.
NY garrulous waiter whispered,
she will be backw And in an hour
she was. This time in a breathless
creation of orchid and silver and
mauve headdress. Her escort was
a young blade of that vapid type
that night life breeds.
Her mood had changed. She was
the coquette-bantering frothy
like the heady bead to rare wine.
They spun about the dance floor as
lightly as pun balls. She smoked
and drank from a silver flask and
now and then their hands clasped
across the table.
At midnight they were still there,
sthe gayest of all the diners. And
in the foyer I saw him again, pacing
up and down with measured tread.

looking now and then at the point

A few days later ! happened to

near the bridge was the woman.

him she rushed into his arms. They

landed the contract.
