At the end of that time I was able to be about, but was completely run down. I was so weak I could hardly stand, my cheeks had no color and I felt faint. My heart would flutter and it waa difficult for me to breathe at times. Neuralgia settled in the back of my head and stomach and I suffered froia rheuma tism in my shoulders.

What Women Have Done in Politi —» < By oMrs. John <A. Logan tf—l Their Crusade Against Unjust Laws Womsn Prime Movers in a!' Great Reforms They Cannot Cope With Men in the i Manipulation of Politics— j Strength Lies In Tact and Intention. (Copyright, 1906, by Joseph B. Bowles.) (Mrs. John A. Logan is known and es teemed by all Americans. Accompanying her distinguished husband, the most prom inent of all the volunteer soldiers, through the civil war, to her belongs the honor of establishing the first hospital for sick sol diers. From the close of the war till her husband's death she was his closest ad viser in political matters. Since his death she has retained her prominence before the public and her influence in national affairs.) That women have wielded a power ful influence in the political world can not be denied when we contrast the position she occupied in this country as late as 1850 with her present stat us. There was not a state In the union which did not bear upon its statute books most unjust and un righteous laws under which a woman could be deprived of her property and subjected to the most outrageous treatment and literally robbed of her inheritance through the profligacy and recklessness of an unworthy husband. She had no protection against the cruelty of parent or husband or the ! disposition of anything without her consent. If she rebelled against their authority they had the power to de stroy her reputation and could take her children away from her, if she had any, and they were so disposed. If the laws did not give them this power the practice sanctioned and sustained men In their unjust domina tion over women. The unjust rulings of a school board precipitated Mis Anthony's rebellion against the unfair treatment of wo men and caused the first movement for woman suffrage. For a half-cen tury Miss Anthony, Mrs. Stanton and others of their heroic colleagues kept up the warfare until the obnoxious laws were expunged and much more just and righteous ones enacted. In some of the states the right of female suffrage has been extended and women have been chosen to offi cial positions, including that of rep resentatives in the state legislatures, and I am proud to say that they have made good records. It has been grat ifying to know that the presence of women at the polls has had a salutary effect on the elections. The riotous disposition which characterized the balloting on election days, and not in frequently ended in bloodshed, has been changed to a holiday occasion and general good-natured festivities. I hope to see the- great improvement In political methods anticipated and claimed by the advocates of female suffrage. Through the coalition of the various -elements of discord some of these •states had passed into the hands of irresponsible men without records -which entitled them to fill these posi tions. They have been a hindrance <to all legislation for the welfare of state or nation. But in the recogni tion of the betterment of social and political conditions it is to be hoped that the üblest and best of all com munities may be brought to the front and that speedily the highest class of representatives may come from tlio CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 31, 1907. states that have inaugurated woman suffrage. The most ungenerous must confess that behind all great reform move ments in this country women have been the Inspiration and most potent force. In religion, temperance, social and municipal reforms women have been the primary and untiring work ers; to them much is due for the high moral and religious standard of our progression and Christian civilization. In the education of the masses women have been most conspicuous; a ma jority of the teachers in the public schools are and always have been wo men. This daily contact with the youth of the country has given them the largest opportunities for the guidance of their pupils into channels of the highest moral rectitude and patriotism. Next to the mothers the public school teachers are the most potent influences in the land. If they go farther and accomplish the readjustment of the scale of labor and compensation so that men and women would receive a like remuner ation for like service it would be an achievement that would bring a prop er reward for her labor. It would be found that in the same line of work In many instances women would re ceive more and men less than they do now—with the fixed standard that men are always paid more than wo men for equal work. This unequal pay has led governments, state and national, and private business enter prises into the employment of many women, who as a rule accomplish more and demand less than men. They are prompt and absolutely relia ble in the discharge of duties assigned them, without questioning the impor tance or necessity of them. In conse quence men are constantly threaten ing rebellion against the employment of women on the ground that women can do nothing for the perpetuation of individual or party supremacy, be cause they cannot vote or participate in political log-rolling. 1 do not believe that the organiza tion of women's political clubs ever materially aided any party. They are not by nature fitted for the work ex pected of political clubs. No self-re specting woman could or would en gage in canvassing city wards in the interests of any party candidate, local or otherwise. Their power lies in a different direction. I Women, like men, are always am bitious to fill the petty offices of any organization to which they belong and are too jealous of each other to fol low the lead of any one woman. They are not logical and are rarely well in formed on the questions which enter into all political campaigns. They cannot discuss anything without al lowing personal preferences and pre judices to enter the discussion. In the rivalry for election to the offices of societies of women everyone has wit nessed with much regret unseemly scrambles and ignoble schemes that would disgrace even a political dema gogue. Frequently these contests, as in men's societies, have resulted in the elevation of tlio least eligible, be cause women of true ability will not lend themselves to intrigue and dis honorable means for advancement. It should be the ambition of every woman to be well informed an all sub jects, especially those bearing upon domestic and political economy. She Should bo able to give legitimate rea sons for her opinions and to defend them with dignity and intelligence. Pretensions, unsupported by actual knowledge, will affect little in the matter of conversion to one's views or inducing a following. Brainy women are apt to be too assertive to accom plish their desires or create an en thusiasm for any cause they espouse. Women are too honest and ti>o frank to cope with men in the science and manipulation of politics. Be willing to work and then to play for ail you aia worth. MENACETO ALL Giant Mail Order Concerns Are Sapping Country of Its Wealth. SMALLER TOWNS CRUSHED By Assisting In the Centralization of Wealth, Patrons of These In stitutions Contribute to Their Own Injury. (Copyright, 190G, by Alfred C. Clark.) Every year millions upon millions of dollars find their way from the towns, villages and rural districts of the coun try to the coffers of the mail order houses in the cities, and goto the up building of enormous institutions in the centers of population. Naturally, the sources from which the contribu tions are made suffer accordingly. Figures ever tell a better story than words. Here are figures which tell a story so stupendous that its full sig nificance cannot be grasped in a mo ment, but the mere sight of which are awe inspiring: In the year 1905 two mail order houses, located in Chicago, did a busi ness amounting in round numbers to $80,000,000. In the year 1904 these same concerns did a business of about $02,000,000, a gain of $18,000,000 or nearly 30 per cent, in a single year be ing thu3 exhibited. These figures represent the sale last year of one dollar's worth of merchan dise for every man, woman and child in the country by two catalogue houses alone, and those operating from the same central point. Dozens more of varying size and importance are oper ating all over the country from coast c I (A// v N / C FFtp| |. ' ) t ;. >- /> i The"Man Behind the Piow" last year contributed a large portion of the vast number of millions which found their way into the coffers of the mail order houses. The smaller comm unities to which it belonged, and which were thus deprived of it, suffered accordingly. to coast and from border to border. A fact not generally known is that hundreds of concerns throughout the country which now are doing business through the regular trade channels are awaiting only a parcels post law to unloose literature, already prepared in many instances, which would pro ject them into the rc<til order field, and | this does not take into account the j hundreds and perhaps thousands of entirely new mail order concerns which inevitably would spring into ex istence under such friendly auspices. The two Chicago institutions re ferred to, already occupying immense buildings, found themselves cramped for room. One of them expended not less than $1,000,000, and probably more, for a new home. The other lately has ( secured a new location and also will expend at least $1,000,000 for an im mense new building. Anyone who will reflect even casual ly on the subject must become im pressed that the influence of the mail order business is toward the central ization of wealth, and how enormous a part it is playing in this direction will be understood from a second glance at the figures which have been given above. It is due to himself that every patron of the mail order house should inquire honestly of himself what the final out come is to be if the mail order busi ness shall continue to make the great strides which have marked its prog ress during the last half decade. It is useless to repeat the well worn argument of the mail order concerns that they are selling goods enough more cheaply than the merchants in the regular channels of trade to leave their customers more money than ever to devote to home enterprises and institutions. The fallacy of this statement has been proved over and over again by actual and minute com parisons of goods, as to their quality and prices. To refute it finally and indisputably by a simpler and more direct method it is necessary only to ask the reliable business men of any of the smaller communities to show the evidence from their books and ac counts of the harm the mail order habit is doinc their communities It is a truth as old as the hills and as certain as the rising and setting of the sun that no country or section of I a country can prosper unless the peo pie as a whole shall bo prosperous. Such general prosperity as may exist cannot be retained if the institutions of the already larger and wealthier communities are to continue to be built up by contribution 3 that should be spent at home from the thousands of smaller communities. The need of the country, a desper ate need upon which the welfare of the individual depends, is for the upbuilding and continued progress of the smaller communities, so that the wj'alth of the country may be distrib uted over the entire country, and not congested and controlled in large amounts in a comparative few centers of population. Therefore, the man who sends away from his own community money which he might-have spent at home and per mitted a fair profit to the home mer chant to be retained there for the benefit of the community, Is injuring his community, and thereby the pros pects for his own future prosperity. In a large number of Instances he is doing more than this. Unwittingly, or unthinkingly, perhaps, he is violating his own principles of right and justice, for, at the expense of his own com munity, he is needlessly contributing profits to the capitalistic combinations which he continuously cries out are menacing the country. The mail order giants direct their energies particularly toward the peo ple of the smaller towns and the agri cultural districts. In hundreds of thousands of the homes of these the catalogue of the mail order house is as regularly received as the home paper. The man on the farm last year sent a very large portion of eighty millions of dollars to two of these institutions, in one community, alone. In all sincerity we ask: Admitting, purely for the sake of the argument, that the farmer or the resident of the small community can save a few dol lars on some of his purchases, or even that he could do so on all of them, can he afford to continue to impoverish his own community, upon which his own prosperity, the very value of his lane' depends? If he will ask himself this question and consider it soberly and fairly in all of its phases, including the many which cannot be touched upon within the limits of a single article, we think his answer must be that he cannot. The wonderful productivity of this country has been sufficient to over come the various adverse economic in fluences which have existed during the period of years in which the mail or der business has accomplished its greatest growth. Everyone has been "getting along pretty well." While the increasing flow of golden millions from their source in the land of the coun try to the already great centers of money and population has held back the growth of the smaller communi ties, it has not yet occasioned a great disaster. The test will come with the first pinch of "hard times," a condi tion which no country ever has been able to escape at recurring intervals. When this time arrives those com munities will best stand the test which have best conserved and husbanded their resources. JOHN S. POTTS. The Puzzle Solved. Some time ago a merchant in Mar blehead, Mass., was discovered in his store at a very late hour, and in reply ing to inquiries, he said: "My confidential clery is missing." "And what of it?" "Why, I'm looking over the book 3, but they seem to be all right." "Have you counted your cash?" "Yes; and it is correct to a dollar." "Looked over your bank book?" "I have, and it 13 satisfactory. That's the puzzle, you see. He's skipped, and I can't make out what for." "Been home since noon?" "No." "Perhaps he's eloped with your wife." He hurried home, and found this to be the case.
