HIGH
PRINCIPLES


What about your principles? Are
they good, or Indifferent? We often
hear it said of woman that "she has
such good principles"-"s is re-
spected fer her principles;" but that is
only when she has the courage to live
up to them.
Every one of us has certain good
principles; none of us wants to lie, or
steal, or SANDER neighbor; but how
many of us possess the determination
to put into practice those higher
thoughts, these lofty ideals?
It's all very well to have theory; but
real goodness is not theory, but prac-
tice, and very difficult practice at that.
Those inclinations to do good that we
feel when we listen to stirring ser
mon or beautiful music or gaze upon
magnificent view must be put into
practice during our everyday life if we
would live up to our principles.
"The man at the wheel must never
relax his vigilant attention for a mo-
ment; neither may the woman grow
dilatory in her practice of good deeds
if she would gain the reputation Of
having high principles. And it is not
an easy task.
In our daily duties, even though they
be monotonous and uninteresting,
there are plenty of opportunities to
put into practice our high ideals.
II we. frankly say we hate laziness,
then let us be energetic in all things.
The business woman must be on time
at the office or store every morning.
She must be quick and courteous in at
tendance upon customers. She must
pay strict attention to her employers
needs and carry out his directions with
promptness.
If her sphere is in the home, meals
must be served on time and the work
for every day be carefully executed in
q systematic way.
Women with high principles never
repeat scandal, nor. do they gossip
about their neighbors and friends.
When good can be said of any one, 1t
IS always told. The unpleasant things
are discreetly left unspoken.
With her children, the woman pos
sessing high principles will always be
patient, loving and considerate. The
many, many questions that the average
| child puts to It's mother every day that
useless, amusing "Why mother?" will
be answered carefully, giving the plas-
tic mind of the child right impression
Of things, the true reason why"
There are some persons who belieye

state Socialism.

State socialism, as the name fairly
implies, is the theory that land and
capital should be taken possession OF
by the State; that all production
for distribution and all distribution
should draw from the State his conn
pensation, whatever it may be, for
services performed, and that money
and interest should cease to exist. So
cialists do not advocate violence or
any form Of force, the opinion OF many
to the contrary, Notwithstanding. They
believe, as body, that the object
they are after is to be reached not By
force but by the ballot, as the peace
able expression Of free opinion.

ID. c. NEED OF VOTE
DUE TO CHANGES
Conditions Compared With
Those of Former Times by
Miss Belle SherWin.

Speaking as an outsider" regard
ing suffrage In the District of Co
lumbia. Miss Belle Sherwin, president
of the National League of Women
Voters, told members of the District
League of Women Voters, at their
monthly luncheon in the Women's
City Club yesterday, that life today Is
vastly different from what 1t was
when Congress deemed it necessary
to take away the voting privilege of
the residents here. She said that the
residents here should show how, on
paper. they would benefit by the vote.
The title of Miss Sherwin's address
was District Suffrage as a Practical
Subject" and she intimated that in
order to get the vote here the resi-
dents would have to continue to show
practical causes as to why they
should have it. This was advocated
as the most likely means of obtaining &
suffrage in this city. Where you can
show a practical cause, it is better"
she said. I'm the meantime, the resi-
dents of the District are more or less
helpless as were the women in gov
ernmental affairs before they got the
vote. About all you can do is talk,
with no power to vote" she said.
Government ChangefuI.
The lack of suffrage here would
never have been eXcusable had It
been the result of partisan politics,
said the speaker. Government in
the past was about as efficient as
one could expect. Government, how
ever, is not stationary, and what
was good for the District at the time
the present government here was put
in operation may be very bad for
the District at the present time"
The speaker reviewed, the history
of government of the District, and
showed how changes had to be made
needs, and indicated that now, just
following a war, history may have
repeated itself in making the need
government here. Residents of the
District evidently feel this need"
she said.
tion of suffrage for the District had
been brought to the attention of the
various branches of the National
League of Women Voters.
The local league Endorsed the pro-
posed child labor amendment. and
hope was expressed that ratification
of this measure would soon be Sc
cured.
Mrs. Nanette B. Paul, vice president
of the Susan B. Anthony Foundation
delivered a brief address, in which
she eulogized Miss Anthony, and
urged those present to lend their sup
port toward helping to carry out the
plans of the foundation, which is
striving to perpetuate her memory.
