the German churches, their I .ujing i

The rout'd) i of women and helpless
Invalids was unanimously approved In

WOMEN AFTER 'HE WAR
—
J; is an interesting quest.on wht-Ui-,
or by the time the war ends we shall,
have beard the inf, of tbe arK.ent and
umt-i orn aphor.sm that woman's
place is at home. We do not reahae
as we should in a mote literal sense
then ever before whole nations are ,
now at war. Often m the past huge]
armies haie been raised, even to the!
pc.ct of draining u»e nation of ;t*|
tnaie population, hut never before have'
great power* brought into the strug
gie and enlisted in their support all
•he human force* capable in any way
of helping their cause.
Jr'or the first time in human history
woman has b©eo mobilised a* an addi
tional artn of the service, b'he doe*
not shoulder a hit or hurl grenade*
or »im field piece-. Rut neither is she j
oonte .’it merely to fall into the place*,
left vat nt by the men who have]
marched to the front: she engages]
also In work due»t!) connected with]
war.
The process ha* ix-en gradual and
pkcemeal, rot th* working out of a
complete and pedetermitJod plan; but |
'l e result Is a revolution. Women by j
the myraid— whe h is a defintie mini- !
her and not a symbol of infinity—are
working in munitions factories and
other estabRshment* that are making
• quip-: ent and supplies for the men
in the fieri: they are running street
rjnte, they me tilling th< fields, they
have replaced men in a hundred oceu- i
pa’.'ons for v.' longs’anding j.re
Judice has regarel'-d them as unfit. In j
every country that i, now at war wo
men are "doing their bit" as generally
and as efficiently as the men. Then
are few "slackers" among them.
That Is a revolution and revolu
tions never go bai kwnnl. When peace
is restored, wnmen will he holdsng
millions of jobs that were left vacant |
hy men who took tie ir way to the]
trenches and who were swallowed up!
forever. They will continue to hold
those Jobs, jKirtly because they have
earned them by their faithfulness in
times of stress, partly because there
will ho need of every hand and eve
and brain to repair the awful waste.

THE BURDEN OF USELESS LAWS.
Hate you not i-oine 11neonscously to
think of legislative merit in terms of
multitudinous bills and laws? Fol
lowing the fund, ham you no* grown
to i-Mtlmati a legislator's service by
the nil 111 tier of new measures \v v a
tie may propose?
We hear a great dial now about
I
"C instructive" legislation, us if there
were some in:.gtc in the name, anr
public men are often criticised by ar.
unthinking press because their names
ait not identified with the enactment I
of wat new law. There coadd not be ,
a greater fallacy.
To prevent enactment of new laws'
may be a legislator's highest merit,
and to encourage iegitaiuon may t* ;
a grevuius fault. In the majority eg1
*m-«, "constructive leg.elation," as t |
-i called in the prerai...ng phrase of ]
at, is a dt’us.on and a fraud.
In a great and growing country
such as ours, with continual rapid
change* going on, of course we can
• ot get along without new laws, but
n ordinary times constructive legis
li tion," as men love to call it, is a i
danger. In most years v, < should be
far better off if congress and our state j
legislatures wouhl confine themselves!
to the enactment of appropriation bills .
and to imperative revision of the l .w
for railing of revenue.
The thing the country needs today
is not new laws so much as the repeal j
of bad.— Louis It. Coolidge In A meri- I
can Industrtes for February.
THEY SAY.
Th«-> say that Smithman spends his
life in dodging bills he ought to pay.
They sa> that BifTkin beats his wife,
and feeds his children bran and ha) i
They say that Jinx, the dry goods
prince burned down his store with j
fell int< at They say that Jasper .
Julius Quince held np an orphan for
a cent. Thus rumor, With its evil
tengue, go- s drifting through the busy
mart, and baseless, vicious tales are
sprung, which wreck your frame and
break your heart. The busy scandal
monger cries, "Of course the yarn
may not be true, but still they say
that Reuben Wise steals chickens
ec-ry night or two." Then Reuben in
las native town, becomes a shunned
ind lonely man. "They say'" has ruin
< * I hi* renown, and made him outcast
from Ins clan. The scandal-monger
drifts along, and makes his old nc
1 nsloitied noise; "They say Jane Juice
is going wrong she's milch too
f 1'iendlv with the boys.” Then June
from social scenes is missed, in every
glance she finds a freeze: "They say”
lias buried her from bridge whist, nnd
banned her from the Purple Teas.'
old Moose lias scattered woe and sin
and broken hearts along his way, tmt
he plays second violin, I often think,
b< sides "They Say.” -Walt Mason In
