' This Exclu omen s 'a.nd MI_SSG:: wliter Appaiel can have no good effect and is liable to work great harm. okl p ,H. Con_‘unsk_'l, Mar., : Ber_nidji,. Minn, Admitting that there are many women who are capable of greater things than mere home-keeping (if there can be any greater occupation) at the same time we must recognize the fact that these women are greatly in the minority. While we may count this class by hundreds, there is another class that must be counted by thousands and millions' whose tastes in- clinations and natures fit- them to be home-keepers, and only [ home-keepers. The women who really would throw off the cares of the home for public life are very, very few as compared to the great host of those who are not only willing to assume those duties, but who really prefer them to any other sphere in life. ’ ‘And the thought of a home in charge of any but the mother is another thought to . which we have mnot yet become accustomed. PSR e By all means grant women the ballgkiéind perfect equality with man. By all means grant her the ¥ ilege of public life if she prefers it and is fitted for it. Therezare a few such, and we would speed them in their careers. But while this. is the case, there are thousands whose highest aspiration is for a home of their own, and we protest against any policy that would tend to sow discord. in their lives and cause them to yearn for a careet for which they are totally: unfites OUR OBLIGATION ; TR : The'speech of Premier Lloyd George in the British:House{ of Commons on the question of the Man Power bill now pend- ing, should be read by every American, and read carefully.|. There is much in this speech to give us serious thought. f 5 Mr--Lloyd George practically admits that Great Bfitain'is ‘ making little if any headway toward winning the war, and that England is nearing the limit of her resources in men. The’ bill proposes to call men of 50 and boys of 18. The speaker is careful to state that not all the older mén will be sent to the: front, but that they are needed to take the places of younger _ men who can participate in the fighting. : % In this emergency, America’s duty is plain. . We can no: .Jonger sit back and wait for the allies to stop. the German hordes. We are as vitally interested as they, and have as great’ a stake in §lf¢ final outcome as any one of.the European-nations. Certai no person of average intelligence ‘could:doubt for a moment that the fate of America is now indisolubly linked: with that of the allies. Certainly none ean doubt:that an al- lied defeat would prove a. staggering blow to American prog- ress and American prosperity, if not to her very existence as a free nation. B v 5 America must win the war. Her power must be the added ‘force that shall turn the scale in*favor ‘of the allied cause. ' To that end all her immense power must be exerted.- President Wilson has assured our allies that our armies will be-rushed to Europe as fast as it is. humanly possible to put them there. But while our fighting men are hastening to the fray, there is also a herculean task for every man, woman, boy and girl who remains at home.. We must work—work and save. . We must feed the allied world. ' There is'no.escaping the obliga~ tion. The. cause is our own, and the man who shrinks now must forever bear the brand of the slacker and the coward. "“YOU GET JUST ONE GUESS' Complimenting the administration on its eleventh-hour re- pertance evidenced by the appointment of: Ghafles. M. Schwab to be dircctor general of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, th“g_ Washington Post ingenuously remarks: Some men in auth-’ ority are so constituted: that they cannot bear the thought of | sharinz responsibility with strong men, for fear that. their own, ;bilities may be overshadowed.”” One guess as to whom the| ostmeant. 2 33 0 ‘According to a dispatch from Buenos Aires, the Swedish vessel on which Count von Luxburg was granted a safe pas- sage home now refuses to accept him as a passenger. The count, it will be remembered, was declared to be suffering from dementia. It may be that he has visions of the fate he recommended for Argentine vessels—*sinking without leaving a trace”’—being applied to the vessel that should carry him. It may also be that the vessel’s officers apprehend some such fate if the treacherous count is permitted to embark with them.
