She decries soclety for Having, developed ‘within the last thirty years ‘‘a vast army of women who wili not be women——mar- ried women' who avoid children; in- capable mothers who shirk the: obli- gatigns a a.nd responsllfllulea of mother- hood.” | Moy “All profeu!ons are’ " now bpen ‘to women,”. declares this propagandist who ' notes that women “act, dance, paint, sing, type, keep books, prac- %ice law, drive horses, arrest crimi- nals, drink, gamble, smoke; and even fight for their country.” " There is nothing new .i.n theiun up there except perhaps the police-wom-’ an part of it Since the days of the Greeks the women have been dancing, | singing, and acting. Rosa Bonheur ‘was not the first woman painter, evea ; it Portia ‘vas the first woman whom | we ‘have -heard of presiding at ‘the bar. Women took a hand in some of | the buttleu of our own Revolutionary War, and wh;t about the Maid of i Orleans? : | But even with a}l thue compnmen- i tary ‘accomplishments we doubt if motherhood is a lost art, Not from a | cursory glance of the birth statistics } last year in this country, can Mrs. Booth -Clibborn prove her assertions, Without casting any aspersion on the | mothers of a ‘oy-gone day, we would like to pay this little tribute to the mothers of today: They are better mothers. What, with all the preach- ing and teaching of ' the_ scientists, could they be but good mothers? A child born today has every udvanu.ge over the bubies born thirty years ago. It is taken better care of from the | moment of birth until able to look out for its own ‘interests. ' For the most part, motheru have improved By their dmgence and. care they have materially decreased the death rate of the nation.

Indeed the strenuous Carlyle once said to him: “Ay, Ay, ve ken our Scotland Weel, but tell me mon, ! when are ye gusn to do some wark?" Black was a small man of great phy- sical endurance, very observant, ‘‘up” in natural history and nautical mat- ters and an enthusiastic yachtsman. His books were greatly admired by, 3Queen Victoria and fashionable so- clety would -have gladly welcomed 1himn but he refused to be -lionized. ““The Daughter of Heth,” *‘Madcap | Violet” and ‘“Princess of Thule” are considered his best books, but of any of :them can he said: “We have a well-constructed well-told tile, over which plays. a pleasant ripple ‘of | thought suffused with a that is always generous and. healthy like the breezes that blow over the Scottish moors ang lochs this author loved so well.” ( Masters of Victor- ian literature.”) Agnes Repplier writes: “There are books which bring to the tired dweller in towns some gleam of nature’s face, some fresh keen wind from the Hebrides, some | gentle breath from the Adriatie, some fleeting dream of sea and sky, valley or moor or mountain peak: and reading of them one sickens of brick walls and the city’s hateful din. ! 8uck a book was “A Princess of { Thule.” ' The novelty, not of the | theme, but of the setting, the wild, sweet vision of that far northern land 'cradled in waves, swathed in mists, | rocked by the vcice of the tempest, touched all hearts with a sentiment that was half pleasure and half pain.” The Warriors. (Manchester Herald.) Who- are the real warriors Not the monarchs who start the ball rolling, not the cabinet ministers nor the diplomats. The real warriors are the toilers at the trenches, the men behind who supply them with food and ammunition, and still fur- ther back the men who, far from the battle line, make the arms and am- munition and mine the coal and iron. Are these warriors stirred .by pa- triotism? Are they working for. a righteous cause? Signs multiply that they are not. The men In the armies dare not murmur or revolt, . They are under strict military discipline and any méan who fails to yield prompt obedi- ence to his superior officers Is sum- marily dealt with, Soldiers may not want to fight, but they are compelled to. But back of the line, where mili- tary discipline does not exist: where a man may express an vpnion with- out being forced to stand against a wall as a rifle target, the warriors who make the supplies’ for thé ‘men at the front are beginning to show how they regard the war. Are ‘they actuated by patriotism and a desire te work’ and fight for their rulers’ cause Far from it. . They take no enthusiasm for a cause, ~On the contrary they sulk ana strike and say they will not work unless they are bribed by exorbitant wages. 1In ¥ngland the authorities are vainly pleading with the miners and muni- tion workers'to speed up' their out- put, Today's dispatches:say that at the great Krupp gun works in Ger- many 100,000, men are . dissatistied with their work and wages and are demanding higher pay. In this country the machinists, no matter ‘what their ‘nactonality or recial . sympathies, are out for just cne thing—big pay—and they are ready to tie up the gréat arms fac- tories if they don't get, it. ’ Patriotism! Righteousness! No! We are beginning to realize that there is little of either in. this great war. The war is kept ailve by bru- tality and by greed for gain, Per- haps the workmen are taking the quickest way to end it. If they stop the stream of supplies to the front the roar of artillery will soon cease. Rulers and diplomats may argue as they please; but their talk vanishes into-thin air when the warriors stop work. His “Jingo Press.” (Boston Post.) Mr. Bryan will have it that there is a ‘“jingo press" ‘in this country, busily engaged in howling for 'war with Germany. Only the other day at Los Angeles he told the members of an advertising club that this same “jingo press’’ forced him out of office. + But where is the ‘“jingo press”’? ‘We have not been able to find it. O¢ all the newspapers that come to.our attention only the most pitiful few shout for war, or fail to say on every proper occasion that we do nof want war.. Eoston has but one paper thut could come into Mr, Bryan's cate- gory, and that one, strange to say, is of comparatively small circulation and supposed conservatism. Probably by “jingo” the former secretary of state means a paper taat believes that the rights of American citizens in places where they have a leginimate errand should be upneld. 1f that is the tact, then there iz a ‘jingo press.”” But even so, it didn't New Britain’s Busiest Big Store “Always Reliable” ' OUR ANNUAL JULY CLEARANC Right Now Your Dollar Has Extra Buying Power, Summer merchandise at a big reduction just when you need it most.

U. 8. To Lose Henry James, (Bridgeport Standard.) Above “the roll of the stirring drum and the trumpet that sings of fame,” we hear upon the winds, wafted hith« er from England, the rumble of the _ rumor that Henry James having by come anglicized beyond the hope of | redemption, proposes to change his citizenship and become a veritab’ Englishman, In the sudden and conflicting movement of things In England fust . now, this rumor will attract less at tention than it might at some more » quiet time and it can be truthfully sald that there is little in ‘he present outlook to influence any sane man ‘o ask for English citigenship as a mat- ter of advantage for himself. ‘We have heard that Mr. James did not like the neutrality of this countiy and felt that we should have mopy strongly protested against the violus . tion of the Reutrality of lemnp. . his proposed cl is in mmg‘, of that feeling, it uy be ctony. to him personally, but it avill precious little difféercneg With course of current lv-. or m (of them herea: be | very small fly noisy wheol.
