STAND BY THE TICICET.
There Is every reason why the Republicans of Wayne county, in com
mon with members of the party in other sections of the country, should
stand by the ticket placed in nomination at the recent primary election,
voting themselves for all of the candidates and urging their friends and
neighbors to do the same.
One of the strongest reasons why they should do so Is the fact that
the candidates were the choice of a majority of the party in a primary elec
tion that brought out an unprecedentedly large vote and that was con
ducted fairly.
If the Republicans stand loyal to their candidates at the election, we
have no fear of the result.
WOMEN STENOGRAPHERS NOT WANTED.
Collector Loeb gives a rational explanation of the Government policy
of preferring men to women stenographers in the customs service. "The
position is a step to higher ones and it is obviously Impossible to make
women inspectors of baggage or deputy supervisors." And while "a man's
chances in Government employ are very large, there are limitations to a
woman's, for there are many positions she cannot occupy."
Mr. Loeb and Mr. Cortelyou are each examples of a stenographer's
chances in the Government service. Some of the great railway systems,
both in the East and West, which have adopted a similar policy as respects
the employment of stenographers allege the same reason of Ineligibility of
women for promotion to executive positions.
It was prhaps Inevitable that as woman's adaptability to ofllce work
is more fully tested in competition with man's it should show limitations
such as those revealed in railroad and Government eraiploy. Some reac
tion was sure to come from the sudden vogue of woman's labor In this
field, and the question of concern to huslness women Is as to how far the
reaction will go. Where a stenographer is employed only as a stenograph
er and without regard to promotion, women may occupy an equal place
with men. But where a stenographer is a link in a system, a potential
division superintendent or Treasury official, man must continue to enjoy
the advantage which freedom from physical inferiority gives.
THE "GRACE DARLING OF AMERICA."
They called Ida Lewis the "Grace Darling of America," and she had
quite as just a claim to fame as the English heroine. Most of her life
has been spent in the old lighthouse at Lime Rock that guards the harbor
of Newport. Her father, keeper of the lighthouse, was paralyzed in the
fifties, and his 10-year-old daughter took up his duties. It was in 1858
that she began the series of daring rescues that resulted in saving so many
lives. A sailboat capsized and four young men wore left helpless in a
heavy sea. Ida Lewis sailed out in her skiff and brought them ashore.
Ono bitter cold day In 18CG she rowed out through a storm and saved a
man drifting helpless in an open boat. In a terrible gale in 1807 she saw
two men with a boatload of sheep about to sink in the harbor. She saved
the men then returned and saved the sheep. She feared neither storm nor
aea.
These are only a few examples o fthe courage in saving human life
which made her one of the best known ot American women. Though she
was married to William H. Wilson in 1870, she will always be known as
Ida Lewis. Her honors brought few substantial rewards, and she has liv
ed her seventy-two years In the old lighthouse whose lamp she trimmed
as a child and from which she began to sally forth on her errands of
mercy more than half a century ago.
THE WAYNE COUNTY JUDGESHIP
From the Easton Free Press.
Judge A. T. Searle of Honesdale,
Wayne county, who was appointed to
succeed Judge Purdy as President
Judge of that county, should be
pleased with the flattering endorse
ment of his party at the primary
election. Judge Searle was called
upon to preside In the courts of this
county during the recent illness of
Judge Scott. Those who attended
the sessions of this court were pleas
ed with tlhe manner of conducting
eases. He Is unusually prompt in his
rulings, and showed that he had a
profound knowledge of legal princi
ples, and at the same time his suav
ity ot manner and evident desire to
understand all phases of the ques
tions submitted to him, demonstrat
ed that he was possessed of the right
kind of a judicial mind. He was
courteous and Impartial throughout
and left a most pleasant impression
on the lawyers and others interested
in our courts.
Tho people of Wayne couny will
secure a competent Judge If they
continue Judge Searle on the bench.
In every court men of the highest
character and attainments are need
ed, men who have had tho experi
ence which has fitted them for tho
responsibilities of the judicial office.
The position of Judge Is not a poli
tical one. The Judge is there to
hold the scales of justice with un
trembling hand. He is there as tho
organ of the law and as Its spokes
man. He is to measure exact jus
tice between man and man. What Is
required Is the judicial disposition,
the umblemished character, the nat
ural ability, and the actual experi
ence at the bar. Judge Searle pos
sesses all these qualities and should
bo supported hy all good citizens of
Wayne county, and If the Judge re
ceives, as he no doubt will, tho as
surances of support from good citi
zens Irrespective of party, the sup
port thus given and received will be
a pledge that will keep him free
from any party Influence.
