WOMEN LABORERS The spirit displayed by the loyal women of this country in the struggle that is before us, is & matter for just pride to every.true lover of his country. The unanimity with which they have risen to the occa- sion and met the demands upon them, is gratitying, and evidences the fact that they are not one whit behind their eons and brothers in their " devotion to their country. k There is, however, one feature of our women's activity = that may ecasily be carried to extreme—that of devoting themselves to heavy man- usl labor. There may, in the days before ‘us, be rare instances in which women will be impelled to shoulder the heavier burdens that fall rightly to the shoulders of the men, but these occasions -should be made as rare as possible. g " There is something in the very sight of a woman staggering under a heavy burden that fills the soul of an American with shame. .The in- stinct that prompts a man to instantly assume that burden, js inborn in the race, and is but prompting of nature in an effort to safeguard the race and insure its highest development. The splendid type of American manhood could . never have. been evolved had ‘pot this' country regarded woman as something to be cher- ished and protected and shielded from all of life's rougher and sterner experiences: ‘High {deals’ and lofty conceptions of life are drawn by us from the breasts of mothers whose surroundings and: comforts are such as to develop them. Children of care-burdened and over-worked mothers are very apt to develop in their own lives the direct results of the trials of their parents. Very few specimens ‘of a high type of manhood come from the homes .of .such people. “This :is most clearly seen .in countries of the old world, among the. peasant ‘classes, where over-worked ‘mothers breed loutish and boorish sons. This is a condition of life from which this country has ever revolted, and tx!dl_h which we must guard- ourselves with extra care in this emergency. There are many lines of activity .in which our women can render valiant service., In -these they should 'be el_leouraged, and these lines should be cheerfully surrendered to thein by the men. But women dock laborers, women Tailroaders, women coal heavers, and such like, is an unseemly ‘spectacle to which we have never been:accustomed and from which our nature revolts. Should this war continue fo this country become such as in other co face this matter squarely. We must -prof safeguard the race. r two or three years, and conditions in untries, we will be compelled to tect cur women if we would GOOD GERMAN Jacob' Cratts, ,who was born in Germany, wrote to the Auburn (Neb.) Rebnblicsn telling some plain facts that can be repeated in hundreds of families-now living in this country. Among other things, he says: “There were ten in our family, and we were poor, like most of our countrymen who came to the good old United States of America to get away from oppression, and it was a hard matter to keep the wolf from the door at times. When I landed in this country I secured work at once and received. more money for one month’s work than I got in Germany for one ‘year's work. I sent for my folks and I am proud that they.are all true American citizens and will answer the president’s call to arms against Ger- _many or any other country when needed. 2 “I don’t see how my countrymen can'go back on Uncle Sam. They came here without a cent and made money here; now some of them want to fight the country that feeds them. The kaiser never did anything for them, or for me. If he had we would be back there yet. All he did was to start this cruel war and starve all our people there, and make soldiers out of everybody atid force them to work for his. dirty 12 cents a day, with a fourth-pound of meat and a loaf of black bread. I hope to see .the day when he is kicked out of Germany and a president put in his place. . You, don’t see any Americans going over there. for | jobs,‘or:to any other nation. They are happy ‘there and I don’t %, E owe any allegiance to any king or kaiser. I hope Uncle Sam will 7 win; Hurrah for President Wilson. “Stop all foreign papers printed in the United States. If they . can’t read English, let them learn, and keep all foreign languages out of the schools. The English language {s good enough for any- . body,” JACOB CRATTS. AGAIN, BOOZE AND LAWLESSNESS When the rumblings of lawless agitation, emanating from Gemmell, reached the ears of the sheriff of Koochiching county, he promptly took along some of his deputies and several members of the home guard and started for the scene, he and “his men tramping several miles through in- tense cold to Gemmell and “nailing” the secretary-of the I. W. W. and in- cidentally a quartet of blindpiggers. : " e For some time past there has been great activity in that vicinity and many have been signed up for the I W. W., while otliers have been coerced into signing by threats of injury to their persons or business.: There also flourished like a green bay tree illegal booze selling joints. -The whole works was put out of business by the arrest of the leaders of the L. W. W. and the proprietors of the booze selling joints. - ; E It was a good job dome. The sheriff is to be commended.
