WHY WOULD WOMEN VOTE?
Copyright, 1914, by
Ihe Star Company
>, For thoughtful
ipeople who wonder
"why women want
tthe vote in England
so badly, the follow
ing statistics may
prove of Interest.
They arc authentic
and are worth pon
dering over. In Eng
land 70,000 people
die every year from
tuberculosis and
300,000 suffer from
it. This terrible dis
ease is caused by a
lack of conveniences
and' decencies of
life. Fresh air and sanitary surround
ings are neded. Tenants, however,
can have no say aa to Tiow the shelters
In which thoy exist shall be ordered
or policed.
England has an area of 77,000,000
Hcres and a population of 43,000,000.
jVTore than one-half the land is owned
hy 2,500 persons. Less than 10,000
people own two-thirds of the total land
of Scotland, Ireland and England.
There are 80,000,000 people that have
not any land at all, and consequently
not any home of their own. The aver
age amount of land owned by the Brit
ish peer Is 15,000 acres. There is one
peer who owns over a million acres.
The average land owned by the British
cottager is one-quarter of an acre.
The phrase "bless our native land,"
in the British national anthem. Is
rather meaningless to all but a few
housand British subjects.

Coal Is Cheapest and Best Now
To buy coal now is to buy it at the cheapest price for which It can
be obtained during the year. And then you gain in quality, too, for the
coal sent from the mines at this time of the year may be thoroughly
screened before delivery, a difficult matter In cold weather when frost
will cause the dirt to cling to the coal. So to buy Montgomery coal
now is to buy the best quality of the boat coal at the lowest nrlce*

THURSDAY EVENING,
By ELLA WHEELER WILGOX
The annual income of Great Bri
talnfl from land and rent, Is about
$43,000,000 a week. About one-hair
of this goes to 5,000,000 people whose
annual income ranges from SBOO up.
There aro 10,000,000 that are so poor
that they cannot provide the neces
saries of life. The average wage of
these is $5 a week. The average wage
of the 5,000,000 industrial women Is
$1.75 a week. The paupers of Eng
land, if lined up four abreast, would
make a line four miles long.
Egypt, Persia, Babylonia, Greece
and Rome were founded upon slavery,
and slavery, corrupted and imbeciled,
finally overthrew them. History em
phasizes this instruction in the down
fall of Egypt, when 2 per cent, of its
people owned 97 per cent, of its
wealth.
In Persia, when 1 per cent, of its
Inhabitants owned all the land; In
Babylonia, when Si per cent, of its citi
zens controlled all that was produced;
in Greece and Rome, when 1,800 per
sons owned, sufficiently well, to force
service and tribute from the then
known world.
Of the 100,000,000 people in the
United States 80,000,000 are without
lands or homes of their own.
This, more than any other state
ment that can be made, shows the
failure of the United States as a gov
ernment of the people for the people;
for it was to get lands and homes of
their own that the colonists, that
founded the Republic, left Great Bri
tain. This was their ideal. They had
no other.
Professor Charles J. Bushnell,. In
a lecture at Washington, D. C., August,
1907, said:
"The control of the nation's wealth
and, through It, of the nation itself, is
last centering into the hands of a few.
It is said that the control of one
twelfth of the nation's wealth is rep
resented at the meeting of the twenty
four directors of the United States
Steel Corporation alone, and that th*
all-important, railway system of the
country are controlled by just six men,
with only one supremely dominant."
On the other hand, 10,000,000, or
one-tenth, of the people of the country
arc in constant poverty, while 4,000,-
000 are paupers.
"Under the pressure of these ab
normal conditions, drinking, smoking,
murder, suicide, insanity, robbery,
graft and social vice are increasing
faster than the population, causing
financial loss that more than counter
balances our annual national gain of
wealth.
"The modern trust is the response
under individualistic conditions to the
inevitable demand for a more unified
and economical business organiza
tion."
A student of the stars, in casting
the horoscope of Vincent Astor and
his bride-to-be, mentioned an indus
trial and social revolution in 1917.
After reading: the figures quoted above,
this threatened revolution does not
seem an improbable occurrence.
Meantime constructive efforts at
better conditions are being made by a
society in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The more people think about these
things, the better for all of us. The
day is not far off when every one will
be obliged to thing seriously of our
social conditions.
Better begin now.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am keeping company with a gen

very nice and I like him. 'Nobody
would think by his looks that he is
much older than myself. As long as
my mother approves of his attentions,
is it proper for me to accept them?
B.
A GIRL of 15 is too young to keep
steady company with any man, no
matter how desirable he may be. If he
is of the right sort, he will prefer, for
your sake, waiting until you are at
least three years older.

of petticoats and serve the double pur
pose of economy and comfort. In the

plain color but little girb will wear dresses
of this kind made from finished pique,
linen, galatca and the lik« as well as from

"THE TRAIL, OF THE LONESOME

"The Trail of the Lonesome Pine,"
that remarkable dramatization of
John Fox, Jr.'s book of that name, by
Eugene Walter, is one of the most
remarkable presentations of the sea

the winding river, the hills, and trees
the cabins and caves have been repro

magnificent production given the play.
In long runs in Boston, Philadelphia

"Way Down East*' comes to the Ma

play that arouses memories of child

been before the public., A play that
touches the heart and emphasizes the
little virtues that make all humanity
better is bound to live and be always
interesting. As familiar to the ma
jority of theatergoers as a household
word, for this reason no description is
necessary. All that needs to be said
is, that there is no purer, sweeter or
more wholesome play in existence,
none of which holds the mirror up to
nature more truly and none which has
more real inspiration in its every

BEAUTIES DELIGHT CROWDS
Lasky's "Beauties" continue to de
light the throngs at the Orpheum.
This miniature musical comedy with
its gorgeous staging, talented players
and beautiful girls is a treat that will
undoubtedly linger long n the minds
of Orpheum patrons. When one con
siders some of the splendid attractions
1 that Mr. Lasky sent to Harrisburg in
'the past, it seems that he has been
constantly improving, each feature
presented seemed to outshine its
predecessor. This also holds good in
his splendid production "The Beau
ties," which is widely different from
the others, but as good as the best.
Wouldn't it be hard to imagine any
thing more novel or more cleverly exe
cuted than the song of the different
nations, in which a choice beauty rep

appears in the scene to pose as the
