A PIONEER For WOMEN

A special postage stamp has been
issued in honor of Susan B. Anthony,
one of the pioneers in the woman
suffrage movement. 1t was largely
through Miss Anthony's efforts that
married women in New York State
were given joint rights in guardian
ship of their children. and the right
to claim their own earnings.
The most direful predictions we're
made as to the evils that would re-
suit if women had the vote. 1t was
declared they would neglect their
homes, they would be debased by
the degrading influence of politics,
and political quarrels would break
up happy families.
Opinions differ as to how much
practical good woman suffrage has
accomplished. Life goes on about
the same as it did before women
voted. The principal complaint is
not that the husbands go hungry, and
the children dirty because the wives
are engaged in politics, as that so
many women forget to vote.

PAST AND PRESENT

American brains have furnished us
new methods to replace old methods.
1t has been a struggle of progress
that has engaged the brain and
muscle of millions of our citizens.
All of a sudden a tempermental Ad-
ministratiOn at Washington seeks to
take charge and direct private en-
terprises and institutions against
imaginary dangers of exploitation.
Exploitation by whom? Is it against
those who own our great industries.
and our great properties? Apparent
ly the politicians have such illusions.
The new order is here to stay
and we might just as well make up
our minds to it, Even agriculture,
which was once about the only in
dustry in the nation. has undergone
revolutionary changes. Conditions
are better because of the struggles
OF farm folks.
The luxuries enjoyed by practical
" all of our population were once
confined only to those who possessed
wealth.
Should business be harassed by
political and bureaucratic rule? Such /
conditions should not be a question
of politics at all. Politics did not /
make our nation. and politicians
should not be permitted to weaken it.

THE ROOTS OF CRIME

The country must get at the roots
of crime, said Gov. McNutt of IGdi-
ana, in addressing the Interstate
Commission on Crime, at its recent
session at Boston. What are these
roots of crime?
"As the twig is bent, the tree is
inclined" If you could catch a boy
in the first little criminal deed. if it
is only switching an apple from a
fruit stand. and convince him that
such acts are yellow and dangerous.
you may have saved the expense of
keeping that kid in prison half his
life. II every boy could have a
chance to earn money. so he could
buy apples and other things. some
thing inside him would say mo"
when he was tempted to snatch that
fruit.

uNIFORM LAWS

What can be done to secure more
uniform laws, so we shall not have
4S sets of statutes, conflicting with
each other, and creating unlimited
confusion when anyone has business
and family relations that run across
state boundaries?
The above is one question under
discussion at the annual meeting of
the American Bar Association. The
As states cling to the right to make
their own laws. The law that fits
one commonwealth might be all
wrong for another. Yet much of the
conflict in these laws is harmful.
State lines are more or less imagi-
nary. 1t does not follow that people
need a different set of laws every
time they cross a state boundary.

more unity and cooperation between
states. in the warfare on the evils
that afflict the land.

LAROR DAY

Labor Day was established, and be-
came a national holiday, to call at
tention to the rights of the great
masses of wage-earners. In our
earlier days, far too little attention
was paid to the needs of the men and
women and children who worked for
wages. Women and children were
forced to toll under inhuman con-
ditions, young lives were stunted,
home life broken up, and physical
health and strength declined at an
early age through too prolonged toll.
Today the working day is short,
perhaps too short to create the prod
uct the American people need. While
conditions in many shops and fac
tories are not satisfactory, still as a
whole the American people work un-
der much more healthful conditions
than formerly. Excessive labor by
women and children is still tolerated
to some extent.
The question of wages is still the
subject of conflict. Many employers
pay too low wages. Yet the concern
that does so is likely to lose many
competent workers. and suffer loss
in operating efficiency. 1t does not
pay to grind down help.
The greatest evil in the field of
labor today, consists in the irregu-
larity of work. There is little well
fare in any industry that only works
half or two thirds of the time. If
all Industries could operate regular
~ for so weeks in the year, the pro-
ductiOn of the country could be al
most doubled. and the share of every
worker correspondence increased.
How to produce this regularity of
operation is the greatest problem in
dustry has to solve. 1t is not per-
manently solved by giving people I
Jobs on government work. The peo-
pie should be at work producing the !
necessities of life. Only through |
regularly operating industries can
this be done. Let the Labor day
orators talk about how this end can
be achieved.

CHANGE OF.THE YEARS

Some of us. in taking vacation
trips the past summer, have visited
towns in more OF less distant IOca-
tions, with which we were familiar
years ago. In some of these places
great changes have occurred. There
are new public buildings, more and
nicer homes, many public improve
ments. Other such burgs look about
as they did 10 or 20 or more years
ago. What made the difference?
1t was not usually any stroke of
luck or fortune that helped on these
advancing places. The progressive
places usually went ahead because
they were the homes of hustling and
energetic people who were always
roofing for better things. Our home
town. Milford. can make similar
gains in the coming years, if we
work for them.

TALK MADE TO
2O-3O CLUB
BY PUBLISHER

The problems of a newspaper
and its asset as an advertising me-
dunn were discussed by Paul Jen-
kins, publisher of the Press and
The Post, in an address at the
Thursday night meeting of the 90
80 club here.
"a newspaper can be q COM
munity- booster or a community
burden" Jenkins said. Towns and
cities are often made or seriously
injured by the type of newspaper
produced BY withholding support
from meritorius activity a news
paper can lull community to sleep,
whereas by giving energetic as
sistance and publicity, it can be
and should be of material and con-
structive influence"
Cities are judged by the kind of
newspaper produced by them he
said. The daily publication reflects
the activity, enterprise and pro-
gressiveness, and because it meets
countless eyes from all parts of
the country, is daily advertise
ment of the prosperity of entire
areas.
Because the newspaper is bought
and welcomed into the home, he
said, it makes the most valuable
advertising medium yet devised be-
ing the closest to the point of con-
sumer-demand
