Why Women Are Working

Mr, Bhnw aaya, "They (the women) have

Personalities In the Campalfjn
To the Editor of the Eventno PuMle Leitaerr
!r To the best of my knowledge the
tiresent haa ben the cleanest campaign
thtr haa ever been fought out In Ameri
can politics. It has been dignified on the
part of both parties, and It will be most
unfortunate If either should try to sprint
any unpleasant personalities Into It In
the last hours.
I think the public bel'eves that both Hard
tag and Cox are big and broad enough for
the office, and It Is a question of party
politics and policies that should be con
sidered by the voter, and not peraonall
ties. There are aevera! big policies that
hava been brought forward In thla cam
palm, moat Important of which la the
League of Nations. It Is 'up to the voters
to say whether they want to unite In a
league of thla character and are willing
to fellow President Wilson's lead, or that
they want on amended league which will
keep us an Independent nation and divorced
from foreign entanglements.
Neither candidate represents any one spe
cial sect or nationality. It Is, therefore,
unfair for either party to try to Inject Into
the campaign the accusation that either
one of the candidates will favor one re
llrloua denomination against another, or one
set of people against another. If the can
didates nould be of that caliber It la hardly
Ilkelv that either v.ould have been nomi
nated Neither candidate would be doing Justice
to himself or to the nation ho will be called
upon to represent. K It were felt that he
would be pro-Irish pro-German pro-Italian,
pro-Catholic. pro-Proteetant. or pro or ant!
prohibition The candidate elected muat be
governed by the lawa of the country, and
if he tries to evade the law we have a
Congress to hxndle the case, which la also
el'C'ed by the people. ,
There need be no fear In voting that
Alther one of the candidates will be parti'
aan In his views on these subjects, and,
therefore, It Is for the voters to mako their
decisions on what the parties and policies
of said parties represent. If they will weigh
all these questions at stake sincerely and
thoughtfully, we may expect that the man
who la elected on Tuesday will meet the
vlawa of the great majority of the people
of the) nation, and this Is a nation wherein
the majority rules

A Word of Appreciation
To the Editor of the Evntno f bl(o Ledger:
Sir A clipping fell out of "a book this
morning called "Junior Pound Bomethlng
to Play With on the Train." It has be
come ray dally pleasure to read this article
and It never falls to change my thoughts If
they happen to be below normal.
It occurred to me that a word of appre
ciation might not be out of place, for a
man, even an editor, might give a passing
tlanee at the woman's page, There Is s
Riley flavor done In prose, and a call upon
the Imagination so subtle which the writer
ought to be encouraged to cultivate.
A mother of five sprightly children haa
plenty of similar memories, but to write
them without losing the humor there lies
the test, and jour writer has succeeded
quite fully.
My letter should perhaps be rewritten, but
tt also might loae a touch of spontaneity,
Til send It as It Is. With my congratu
lations for your fins paper, I am,

Grow Old Gracefully
To the Editor of- the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir We are aim-are being told that we
thou d grow old gracefully, and that we
are only aa old aa we feel. This sounds
very tood In the admonition, but In my
eaae It haa been very hard In the aotuallty.
We may be only aa old as we feel In our
estimation, but the public takes us for as
old as we look to be This Is not trus
alone when It comes to a business occupa
tion or In seeking employment, but It Is
also true, and strikingly so In private life.
In act, I don't believe that It always
paysto be aa old aa you feel, for you may
enjoy good health and feel quite young, and
In doing ao you find yourself at til longing
for the pleasures of youth, yet, on account
of your age. you can find no one who wants
to enjoy such pleasures with you. and even
If they do, they are apt to make you feel
that they conelder that you have reached
our dotage, and they only cater to your
desires out of sympathy.
I believe that the happiest existence Is by
the person who meets each decade in his
life by changing his Ideas with his age, and
tallowing exactly In the path of those of
the same age. In spite af a desire on his
part to do otherwlae, or not be content
with the new condltlona. There are many
precept that are hard to work out In real
ity, and thU Is one of them, O. L T

A Question of' Dlvofco
To the Editor of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir In scanning the lent list of divorces
which Is printed almost dally In the papers,
I have heard many people jpe'ak In abhor
rence ef the laxity In keeptnt the marriage
vows. It Is no doubt to be regretted that
so many married poopto agree to disagree,
and yet I feel there Is no other alternative
for such mtamated couples than to seek the
divorce court.
In the marriage ceremony the couple be
ing Joined vow before Clod that they will
keep the covenant Into which they aro en
tering, but human nature Is weak, and
alwaya haa been weak, and It la but to be
expected that. In the large number of mar
rlagea that are conatantly taking place,
many of them will turn out lo bamlematchod.
Now the question arises that when a
couple find themselves unable to live (o
gethcr harthonloualy. Is It a wlae thing for
them to continue an existence that la Intol
erable? It la my belief that when a man
and wife find that they cannot live In har
mony, the only alternative for them Is to
aerk separation. Life la short at the best,
and to live that life In contention and mis
ery Is not to be thought of. The fault of
the discord may lie on either side or be a
Joint disagreement through temperament,
but whatevei it is. It results In a constant
discord, which maee of the home a veri
table Hades and not what Ood Intended
It to be.
la there any remedy for this? Very little.
When two people have become so thoroughly
estranged that harmony Is Impossible, then
the case becomes hopeless, and they should
separate, and being separated they should
get a divorce and try to begin life over
again, A couple who remain Joined In dis
cord have no pleasant hopes for the future,
but separated there la a prospect that two
happy live may still be tho reault.
W frequently hear of ministers who re
fuse to officiate at a marriage of a person
who ha been divorced, but for the life of
me I cannot see why they feel It Is their
duty to refuse to perform a ceremony under
such conditions. I cannot find In the Bible
any passage that can ever be construed by
them In meaning that they must not do
this. In my estimation a minister Is com
muting a crime against Ood In refusing to
Join a couple who may be properly mated,
and have a future life of happiness before
them. If though one or the other, or both,
may have been divorced. I should like to
hear the views of other of your readers,
for I am open to conviction.

To Redeem Paper Money
To the Editor of the Evening PubHo Ledger:
Sir Will the Treasury, Washlnston, D.

demand for the payment of any money de
