STARTED SOMETHING.

The. Virginia woman who pinned a
note to a potato h had raised, read
ing: 81 got "a cents a bushel. What
did you give?" started something, be-
causei the man who noticed the potato
paid $1.20 a bushel, and the facts
leaked out. Trust a woman to find
an ingenious way to bring oppression
to public notice. Also, happily, trust
the American man to change condi-
lions fwhen they assail the welfare Of
our womanhood.
One of these days we will bring in
to being a real commission of in
quiry,fone with vision, one with prac-
teal business sense, one with sound
economic knowledge and finally one
without self-interest and free from
pull. An impossible combination? No,
some day it will be found, and then
a happier condition will arise as ra-
pidly as the ~bloodsuckers who live on
the labor of their fellows fall by the
wayside. Middlemen are necessary,
of course, due to the great complex
ties of our modern civilization, but
in the last twenty years the
has been removed SO far from the pro-

A fey. days ago the Lewiston Tri-
bune printed an able editorial COM
plimenting w. J. Bryan on his stand
the Presbyterian general assembly
the Darwinian theory. In
sundays Tribune a man by the un-
name of Smith takes the Tri-
to task, and with a few strokes
# his pen brushes the entire Bible
nd it's religious teachings aside. He
avs the book of Genesis is a myth t
start to finish, denies the fall 5
f man, which, of course, would mean I
there was no need for Christ to {
ONE to the earth. If what Smith I
avs is true religion, and our moral ia {
ric, which is based on the Bible, :
ave gone, and with it all hope for \
future life. The book which he casts F
side, and which the Tribune in it's
rticle upholds, tells very plainly what T
le future holds in store for man
nd and occasionally a man m in
the limelight who has decided for
that there is no hereafter. ?
