When a living, breathing human vic- tim of injustice knocks very often at your front door, sometimes as often as twice a day, you are pretty near the Hun class if you sit back in your soft comfort and refuse to be inter- ested. _ ‘How much do you know about those fine fellows ‘who serve you in blizzard. or sizzard}Jn rain or sunshine, “int hail, in sleet, between the lightning |" flashes, the letter carriers? You see them, at this season of the year, work: | ing far into the night under loads that would stagger a horse. Does it ever strike you that they are your; employes, doing your work, under “your pay? Does it ever strike you that if great injustice is being done} these faithful fellows, it’s because of your indifference, your absorption in| self? The foregoing to awaken you to the fact that the postal workers, your em. ployes, are asking an increase of pay from you, in a bill presented in your congress. How have you been treat- ing them? You have given them one increase in 40 years—just ten years ago, when a dollar would go twice as far as it does now, as you well know. Their minimum wage is $2,22 per day, the maximum $3.33, or much less than| you’d have to pay to get ordinary ditch-diggers. And, at that, your postal employes have to work, on the aver- age, nine years to get that maximum. While your postal employe is off duty through illness he is also off the payroll. You grant him no pen- sion. You make him buy his own uni- form, the cost of which has advanced 50 per cent since you gave him that Taise, ten years ago. You make him work long hours of overtime, but, pay. him the regular hourly wage for it. You work him so much nights that he has to sacrifice his social life with family and friends. When he| has loyally stuck by his job for, say, 40 years and become unfitted,for any- thing else, you “turn him out to grass” himself, exclusively, to find the grass. That's the way you've been treat-| ing your postoffice clerks and letter carriers. And, last year, your postof- fice department returned you at net surplus of $5,827,236.07! Moreover, in the last session of your congress you raised the pay of all government employes except those of your underpaid, profit-making postof-| fice department. Now, don’t try to dodge the respon-| sibility! Don’t try to satisfy your- self by saying that it’s up to congress! It is your congress! The shame and injustice of this thing are roosting | right on your doorstep. It is your congress, your money, your employes, nobody else's, and so the whole re-| sponsibility is yours. Write to your! Congressmen and Senators and urge that they increase the pay of your faithful postal employes, with your money, by at least 25 per cent. . Most divorces have one sad feature in common: they prove how inevi- tably men. and women mix up their outward and their inward selves. Men fall for rouge as women fall for flattery. If they trade the two and get mar- ried, neither really ought to be fool- ed. And yet the exchange is seldom fair, for the husband usually con- siders himself the curator of his wife’s conscience as well as of her beauty, or the wife assumes control of her husband's intellect as well as of his pocketbook. And the first bitterness in many a marriage arrives when one party dis- covers that the other has ambitions, thoughts, dreams, which the first does not comprehend. Fach wishes to own the other com- pletely, to kriow the secrets of the other's soul as well as the secrets of cosmetic jars and checkoooks. And because these elusive qualities cannot be revealed, each decides that the other is willfully and selfishly witholding a part of the other’s law- ful possessions—and that, consequent- ly, love is dead. This misunderstanding destroys marriages which ought to be ideal, it blights poetical aflinites, it crops up in the most commonplace lives, it brings on vulgar domestic rowes, it results in terribly pathetic cases of wife-beating. And the man blames the woman and the woman blames the man, when nature, and net either--individual, is blamable. Nature has set up insurmountable barriers between the souls of indi- viduals without regard to sex. Scien- tists and philosophers recognize this wall, but the information has not been placed where it would do the most good, that is, in public school curri- culums. And yet it could be explained as easily, to children as to adults, If men and women could only rec: is'barrier, they would be less teach other, less sure that A:rfeht, by virtue of loving ineer over that other,, soul has some riddle. ‘| no other soul can solve. “Why will the woman be so silly?” “Why will the man be so stubborn?” Nobody knows. ‘Neither can clear up the mystery for the other. But if men and women would swap silliness for stubbornness as_persis- tently as they swap rouge for flattery, this would be a lot saner world, and people couldn't pretend to de so sur- prised when they see their idols, and ideals shattered in the divorce courts. ow,.A DANGER TO SUFFRAGE. While friends of suffrage were dis- posedsito"be'grateful to socialists for the recent victory in New York state, there is some danger that they may yet pray to be delivered from their friends. Morris Hillquist and other pro-Ger- man socialists are now crying: ‘On to Washington!” and evidently intend to assume leadership of the suffrage hosts that will hammer congress this winter for a federal amendment. Mrs. Catt and other real suffrage leaders undoubtedly have the best in- tentions, but ‘Hillquit and his ilk may see in the campaign for a suffrage amendment a fine opportunity . to pester congress and the: administra- tion, kick up a big rumpus, breed ill- feeling and create factions at a time when the entire country ought to be united in prosecution of the war for peace. If the Hillquits, Bergers, Nearings, and other pro-German pacifists and disturbers can embarrass the govern- ment in this way, they may avoid the penalties of the espionage law by camouflaging their sedition and near- treason. This is a real danger to the suffrage cause. If the American Bolsheviki is permitted to seize control of the cam- paign for suffrage it’s an easy way for that pestiferous camel to get his head inside the house. Golf balls are higher and we expect every day to hear the same thing of fish balls. After the message, Senator La Fol- lette was silent, says a~ Washington correspondent. Say, Bob La Follette’s silence would be another good thing to drop into Germany from airplanes! A 360-pound cake is to be shipped from New York to soldiers in Paris. We never saw a cake of that size and don’t know how it is constructed, but our guess is that an architect drew the plans ahd structural iron workers built it. =———— The kaiser has decorated Col. von Vorbeck, commander of his East Afri- can forces, and we're glad of it. Poor Von Vorbeck hasn’t done a thing but get lickings, for near three years past. Suffering should have its reward as well as heroism.

In 1913 the city of Lewiston, ¥ had a sale of Red Cross Christi and thus raised a small fund for tuber- culosis work. The city did not know exactly what to do with the mouey, for it had not given much thought to the prob lem. But a_progre: e public health nurse saw an opportunity she had long looked for. She advised that the sum be set aside until it could be added to by another stamp sale. The following year the people redoubled their interest. The fund grew and was added to by contri- butions, In 1916 the nurse reported to the Na- tional Association for the Study and Pre- vention of Tuberculosis that ground had been bought for a sanatorium with funds raised largely by Red Cross Christmas|* seals, Last September the sanatorium was opencd.

MONDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1917 THE VISION By Berton Braley 1 The wife of the busy suburbanite Sat down for a moment's rest, Her spouse had phoned he would come that night With a friend for a dinner guest And his'wife, with a heart that Was far from gay Was wondering what the cook would say. The door bell rang; with a tired air She answered it, and upon The threshold stood a stranger fair With a stolid automaton “I have come,” he said, “to the housewife’s aid With a patent mechanical servin g maid.” “You wind her up when the day’s begun And you whisper your orders here —The various labors that should be done— In her phonographic ear, And away she goes the whole day through Doing the work that you told herto. . “She doesn’t drink and she doesn't steal Nor leave when you call her down, She doesn’t quit you before a meal | And hurry away to town. Just give her oil so she doesn’t squeak And we'll rent her to you for six a week.” The wife of the busy suburbanite Grew glad as the agent spoke And she said, in a voice of keen delight “Tl take her!”—Then she woke As the cook came in with her visage glum And grimly told her( “I’m leavin’, Mum!” rest Secretary of State Thomas Hall made a practice of dipping into the state automobile funds for a forced loan whenever he chanced to be hard- up, “embezzling to the shame and dis- | grace of the state; putting im the cash drawer in place of currency slips and checks that were no good;” that dur- | ing the months of 1917 the secretary of state “made statements under, trons. oath—statement after statement—in| Miss Dalton has achieved a marked which he stated that his office carried! prominence in the film world by rea- on hand money which he knew had’ son of the wide scope of her artistry. been embezzled,” were declarations' jt apparently makes no difference made by Assistant Attorney Ceneral whether she is called upon to portray Brennan in his opening argument for’ g light, frivolous role or enact an the state in the Hall case saturday at-/ episode of thrilling intensity.
