WOMANS POWER
It has been said that The hand
that rocks the cradle Is the hand that
I J rules tho world It may be said that
I this statement at least In a general
cense is abnolutely true The child
I
being thrown more constantly In tho
cocloty of tho mother naturally par
takes moro of her Influence1 than that
of tho father She teaches tho baby
feet to walk the little tongue to
prattor tho mother Who brushes
care from the little brows soothes
I the wounded feelings and kisses the
smart from the bruise nwnthe
mother From babyhood to childhood
I and through youth to young man and
I womanhood tho mother Is most sought
1
after for pity and sympathy for coun
ncl and advise And so we see the
great possibilities of tho mOther In
moulding tho character of the child
curbing the evil tendencies and de
veloping the noblor ones or vice
versa Wo see therefore that the
world will be ruled largely according
to the way motherhood decides to
wield her almost limitless Influence
But this Is not the only way In
which woman can assist In making
this world better As the girl grows
to womanhood she can wield a splen
did and salutary Influence upon her
associates that will cause them to
I II consider well tho things of life And
after she becomes tho wife of tho
I man of her choice she still has a
wide field of Influence even to the
changing of tho destinies of nations
ij I The highest ambition of tho wife
N should be he making of a houio and
H I by that we do not mean the mere
11 act of cooking washing mending and
I tho thousand and one things that go
to mako up the lay of toll but the
wielding of that influence that makes I
homo attractive and inviting that ex
pression of sympathy that partakes or
the real essence of domesticity the
t sharing of the burdens that full upon
i tho breadwinner that anxiety to help
and assist him in his plans and
scheme for the success of tho house
I
hold both mentally and In a mater
ial way For this tho wife who first
ices tho worried look tho furrowed
brow tho drooping spirits and the
failing health and It is she who moro
than anyone In tho world through her
sympathy encouragement and tact
I can recall the pleasant smile smooth I
I tho wrinkled brow bid vain care de
part renew the courage and revive
J the falling vitality of tho husband
i I And so also may tho sister cxcrclso
r a wonderful restraining influence over
j the wild recklessness of the brother
1 I r Thon again the wlfo may assist hi
I I developing tho mental capacity of the
1 husband by reading the newspapers
i and magazines and books and dis
I cussing tho current topics of tho day
with him But It Is objected bf
I somo aftor the houtcnold duties are
performed there is no time for read
ing Wo would say to such make
time We have known women who
I
I after caring for a household of from
five to seven persons still could find
I time to read and to write articles for I
I
magazines and still lived
I 0 woman You dont realize what
power you arc capable 3f wielding
either for good or ovll You can mako
of a man n saint or 1 rtovll You can
make bin life a burden or a pleasure
You can bo of Inestimable value to
him In accumulating at least a little
of this worlds goods or you can keep I
his noso on the grindstone forever
You can help him to become more In
tellectual and broader minded or you
I can reduce him to a point below me
t diocrity Which will you do Seeing
u therefore that so much depends upon
woman anl that by the piopor use ol
the power site holds In her Imjuls
S wo would say to the mother the wlfo
I
the daughter or the sister of the union
man You have the opportunity to
r I oxcrf a greater and more powerful I
i influence in behalf of the principles ot
i iinlonlnni than the union man has himself
S
self How or In what way do you
nsk Listen First you can keep
j I i yourself posted on tho labor movement
that you may be able to advise with
him and hell to devise ways and I
means for bettering conditions under
I which ho works for shortening his
hours of loll and increasing his pay
I and help him in a thousand other
ways as the opportunities arise
Second You can create a demand
for the fruits of his toil How You I
purchase most all of the household
necessities do you not Then by
DEMANDING THE UNION LABEL
on all you buy you create a demand
for unlonmnde goods and thus
strengthen the cause of unionism
thereby giving employment to moro
union men and women Unionism may I
I he likened to a circle It has no end
ing By patronizing union people
F whether they be in Ogden New York
or San Francisco you strengthen un
4 lonlsm thereby benefiting directly or
indirectly every union man In the
cquntry Then as a safeguard to the
i home you should purchase only goods
I that arc made under sanitary condi
j tions Many a case of contagion has
resulted from eating food and wearing
I clothing manufactured In the sweat
shop the tenement house or the
I prison and you can be sure that you
get none of these only when you pur
I chase goods bearing tho UNION LA
I BEL How many women over think
j M demanding tho union label O It
I
I tho women would Insist on the union I
I label how long would It bo till union I
ism would double and treble y es
t quadruple Its present strength Now
1 I dear woman if you really wish to be
the true helpmate that you ought to
ii I bo dont over bay again 1 dent
caro where my husband or brother
I I eats Ill go to theother jilaco If I
want to or my husband can wear
0 I unionmade clothes If ho wants to I
but Ill wear what I pleas In so
doing you not only hinder your hus I
t I band or brother In their efforts but
you Injure yourself as well
i I Work together with them for your
mutual benefit Wo havo hundreds ot
I I thousands of men and women In our
land who have worked day and night

and at tho same time benefit your

A TRIBUTE TO LABOR
One of the ablest and most Impres
sive speeches on the subject of
Labor was Recently made by Repre
sentative William Sulzer of Now
York in advocacy of his Iiill to create
a department of labor with a seat In
the Presidents cabinet for Its head
The speech was delivered In the House
of Representatives and was In part
as follows
Mr Speaker I shall take ad
vantage of this occasion to speak for
tho toilers of our country fur HIP
rights of the men who create tho
wealth of our land for those worthy
citizens of the republic tho American
I workingmen who have made us all
that wo arc and will make us If wo
I are true to ourselvos all that we hope
to bethe greatest the grandest the
freest and the most prosperous people i
the world has over seen I
No man In my opinion can pay too
high a tribute to labor It is the cre
ative force of the material world the
I
genius of accomplishment of the brain
and the brawn of tho land the spirit
I of all progress and the milestone
marking the advanco of man Civili
zation owes everything to laborto
the constructive toller and the creative
I worker Labor owes very little to civi
lization Mother Earth is labors best
friend From tho forests and her
ells from her rocks and her rivers
the toller has wrought all and
brought forth the wonders of the
world
Labor Is not of today or of ycslcr
nay or of tomorrow It Is eternal
Dynasties como and go governments
rise and fall centuries succeed cen
turies but labor goes on forever La
I bor Is the everlasting law of life
Tear down your palaces and your
temples and labor will replace them
close every avenue of trade and com
merce and labor will reopen them de
stroy your towns and your cities and
labor will rebuild them greater and
grander than they were But destroy
labor and famine will stall the land
and pestilence will decimate time hu
man race If every laborer In the
world should cease work for ninety
days it would cause the greatest catas
trophe that over befell mankind
tragedy to the human race Impossible
to depict and too frightful to contem
plate
THAT COMMISSION
1 One of tho tenets of unionism Is
the National state and municipal
ownership of public utilities Anoth I
er of Its tenets is Political death ot
all grafters Last summer when the
question of the purchase of the Ogden
waterworks system was being agitat
ed the Ogden Trades Labor As
Kombly representing about twenty
live unions became Interested and
sought all the information obtainable
on the subject Tho honorable may
or with tho city attorney addicsscd
that body on the plan of pin chase and
tilt benollts to bo derived from mu
nicipal ownership After a Kiigtliy
and thorough discussion of the stub
ject bj thaI body it was finally de
cided that as many of our members
were not taxpayers It would be better
to not tike any decided action on the
matter but let the taxpayers decide
the question without any Influence
that that body might exert as they
the lmr6oulrl have to1 foot
ho bill although we were much In
favor of tho measure and doubtless I
most of us voted for It Wo believed
then nnd fitlll believe that It would be
a 1 thing In the long run lor Og
< y to own the waterworks it
li 01 y and economically managed
WhJe it was proposed in the begin
ning that the coming legislature should
bo asked to pass a law whereby a
commission should be created to han
dle the water question yet we heard
nothing of the 100 per month or the
500 per day jokers or woro they
an afterthought Now whichever way
It was we think out loud that that
Is nothing more nor less than a down
right grafting scheme concocted by
a few political grafters And wo dont
purpose to stand idly by and submit
to such a pickpocket scheme if wo
can avoid it And the way that bill
was prepared and Introduced Into the
legislature looked nice too and had
there not been a leak somewhere
the bill might have passed before the
people knew anything about It Oh
but the bill has been amended dont
you know No we dont luiow we
hear that It bus been but we don
know 0 for the referendum Hut
that would spoil the grafters job Too
had But wo are opposed to a water
commission any way It Is only anoth
er useless apoUo In the wheel Our
present form of city government is
far too cumbersome as it is No one
seems to be responsible for what Is
done and to whom would
a commis I
sion bo responsible practically to i
no ono a creature of the mayor turn
ed loose to roam at will The best
thing after nil is to change tho sys
tem of government pay the govern
ing body good stiff salaries make
them responsible directly to the peo
ple thereby eliminating the tcmpta
Uon to graft thus saving thousands ol
dollars each year
Now Mm < whoever Is responsible
for hat bill
lets
have
a copy of it
If it Iii not intended
< as a graft
measure turn on the
light Tho wat
erworks was purchased by the people
for ho benefit of tho people and not
for the benefit of a set ot grafters
GAL THREE UNION LABOR
MORE FRIENDS
It has been somo limo Islnco
we
I
published a lIt of friends but that
Is not our fault Wo will make men

In tho lists The Electrical Workers
have been busy lately In ascortalnluc
I the names of mon who wore willing
to contract with thorn to employ only

the following ponslble firms

Now thy only wayto encourage people I
to patronize union people Is iw let
them know where they can secure Uio

tho people know I
MARXIAN SOCIALISTS
Continued From Pago Twelve
I
own Is ninety per cont1f ninety por I
cent of these people aro left 20 desti
tute as to bo thrown upon public
charity f it can only be that
their wages were BO low they
could not prepare for a rainy day A
larger and larger number of people
must be becoming dependent on the
employers readiness to give them
I work and when they are employeJ
their wages will only keep them a
short month from the poorhousc
When wo find that In a single city
10000 families are In this condition
It shows that more find more of tho
people of the country are being thrown
into wage slavi and Jatther share
of their product Is sinking over lower
Tho country began under conditions
such that every American male and
female could look forward to attain
ing ucomonic Independence such as
It was Men gladly became apprenti I
ces and girls servants well knowing
that In a few years thoy would he able
to become householders In their own
right in the United States today
there arc 500000 school children un
derfed and with some physical defect
or another Theso 500000 children
underfed imply an amount of poverty
that you may imagine for yourselves
That they are physically defective
tells another talc It tells of improper
material conditions Women are un
sexed by tho nature of the work they
have to perform especially In tho New
England states When Mr Robert
Hunter says tho reason the native
American has not populated the coun
try is because of the hordes of Eu
rope ho should be told that It Is be
cause the native American woman Is
to such a large extent forced to take
up unscxlng woik
Decrease In Marriage nBa Symptom
Another symptom Is the decrease of
marriage We know that when mar
riages decrease it Is an evidence of in
creased difficulty in living Marriages
arc decreasing at a terrific rate and
divorces arc increasing proportion
ately With husband and wife thai
happens which happens to partners In
business When business goes well
there Is no clash But let business go
bad and each discovers flaws in the
other and the partnership Is sundered
The number of divorces Is an index of
hardship In tho homo inducing clashos
This is symptom No 5 that things are
deteriorating
FOI another symptom the Hh In the
series take the constitution of the
Postal Telegraphers Union which
gives the company which rules thorn
tho right of absolutely running the af
faire of the union thus jyjlluqulshlng
all tho selfgoverning rights conquered
by the American revolution This vol
untary relinquishing of rights can only
point to decline
All these things point to a growing
worse of conditions
Adulteration as Another Symptom
Then there is the adulteration of
foods Senator Stewart of Idaho
speaking In the senate on December
1z 190C said I do not think the
country has any Idea of the poisons
administered in foods It is sapping
the constitution of the people If wo
had to raise soldiers as we did in ISfil
I doubt whether wo could find them1
Clothing is also frightfully adulterat
ed The result of this on health and
life Is obvious
So then things are getting worse
But Is It a misfortune No it is a de
cided fortune Tho sufferings of anv
social period cannot be looked at in
the abbtratc The present social dls
tress is a condition that ices nut por
tend worse it portends betterit por
tends revolution rite present physi
cal sufferings and discomfort arc mar
shalling the people Into shape for tho
next stop In Industrial government
And It Is not the suffering which Is
making for progress but the condl
tlons which underly and cause It
Those conditions aredrilling the race

which is today standing between it
and plenty Do Loon
I
THE WHOLE HOG
That Is the only logical ileinamL
That does not moan that labor while
it is fighting forthe whole of what It
produces should not take everything
it can conquer I
I means that the working class as
a whole can get no permanent Im
provement In its material condition
while wage slavery lasts
War on the industrial field kills
more than on Limo tented field of gore
The class war between The capitalist I
class and the working class always
goes on
A Frenchman is ctedited with saying
A few people arc put In insane asy

But their release will be tho most
effectual way of spreading the news
On the contrary they cannot make
It known without exposing them
selves J they do that Ferdinand will
seo to it that their respective sov
ereigns qultely but effectually remove
them Each of them Is so well known
that they may he arrested at any
I time Ferdinand shrewdly makes
them hostages as It wore The three
certainly will exert tholr great Influ
ence to check the rebellion they them
selves have fostered As for Gornjl and
Gort chnkof before they arc released
from the hospital tho crisis will havo
passed
And are we left to account for
tho deaths of Stnrva and Brallnau as
best wo may I questioned anx
iously
louslyI you remember I told you at
Lucerne that I am an old newspaper
man I la impossible to hide the
fact that an attack has been made
on Prince Ferdinand here tonight
But an attack by his own countrymen
that has proved a disastrous failure
Is quite a dlffciont thing from a de
liberate gathering here of representa
tives o each of the Balkan States
Ferdinand has taken my advlco to
post in hot hasto to Sofia I shall
see to It that this nights work does
not get Into tho papers until 24 hours
have passed By that time he will
have shown himself safe and sound In
Sola The episode of the deathmask
will havo proved a complete fiasco
My slory will make Prince Ferdinand
a hero triumphant over his foes and
not a weak king who was lured hero
unwittingly by his mistress to his
doom
There still remains Jncqucn
Oh JacqueH said Locko with
contempt He was only a tool of
Starvns and a stupid tool at that
It was he who was to lower the flag
at halfmast It seems to give the
signal to the conspirators who were
watching In the village But when
he rushed to the chamber window to
lower the flag ho found both rope and
fastenings wrenched away lie sup
posed that the gale had done this but
seeing tho flag halfmast the rope
being caught In the pulley he said
nothing about the matter to Slarva
I suspect that you woro responsible
for the lowering of the laS and not
the gale
I needed the rope I said short
ly too Impatient to make further ex
planation And I now for my last
question What the devil did you
mean when you said that you had
promote me9 And why this haste
that I leave Alterhoffen
Arc you so anxious then that it
bo known that you have been impen
sonatlng the British ambassador <
Scarcely I said uneasily
And my dear fellow Iuhn and
tho rest think that It was Sir Morll
7iier who came to tho rescue of
Prince Ferdinand and not Mr Ern
est Iladdon an American tourist
Rut why do you allow them to
think this
Haddou at times you arc singu
larly dense I these men believe
that the British ambassador has boon
killed br ono of their number while
defending Ferdinand do yen not seo I
that this will keep them oven more si
lent regarding their share in this
nights tragedy For if Englands am
bassador wcro really murdcied you
may be sure that she would not rest
until sho had brought the assassins to
Justice
You arc right Locke I must leave
Altcrhoffon at once I
CHAPTER XXXVII
The Second Dispatch
I was about to go to Helena In the
music room to bid her goodby when
Capt Forbes returned from his er
rund
rundW
Well thats settled he cried join
Ing us And do you agreo with
Locke and myself that it Is wise that
you should leave Allerhoffon before
daybreak
Perfectly
He heard my decision with evident
relief i
reliefYou
You will accept my apology for
mistrusinK you Iladdon and I hope
we shall be friends said he offering
me his hand with a winning smile
But you must confess you gave me
ample grounds for being whittle wary
of yon Before long we shall meet
and I shall hope to hear your reasons
for going Into this extraordinary ad
venture In tho meanwhile may I
trouble you for tho dispatch 1 gave
to you In the hotel at Vltznau or did
It fall into Starvas hand that night
To prevent that I dropped it from
the window Into a disused fountain In
the garden bolow
Whoro I found It Interrupted
Locke Here it Is and please ob
serve that tho seals are unbroken
Frankly Forbes I said I
thought you rather an idiot to give me
an Important dispatch that night You
must have seen that I was moro or I
loss In Starvas power and that he
was likely to gain possession of the
papers
hind that dispatch fallen Into his
TO CLEAN WINDOW SHADES
Wo haxc all heard the story of the
woman who tohl tho new maid to
wash tho cmlams meaning the lace
ones and camo Into tho kitchen just
In time to window
lme discover the n welt
shades melting In the boiler But we
do not all know that when ahadon
ore merely dust boiled the surface
can be freshened by the application
of hot corn riical The shado fihoulrt
first ho spread out fat on a largo table il
amid the meal rubbed hi with a circu
lar motion of tho palm Then If rub
i hands replied Forbes It Is quite
possible that Ferdinand would have
been saved his bad half hour Do you
I remember I told you my pseudoam
bassador and you acted the part re
markably wail let me tell you that
I carried two dispatches for Sir Mor
timer and that I gave you tho ono
of lessor Importance
Yes And the second dispatch
Wats it stolon from you by Stnrva
when ho trapped you in tho tower
Forbes nodded I took the liberty
of taking It from him Just now
And may a humble American con
sul ask drawled Locke how to
nights episode would havo been
averted had tho dispatch you gao
Haddon fallen Into Starvas hands In
stead of Into the fountain
My chief at Downing street would
retire me and with no pension If he
knew that I were going to divulge
state secrets llowcvor I am going
to tell you
This dispatch you have returned
to me I happen to know authorized
Sir Mortimer Brett to meet In confer
ence the men who BO very nearly
snuffed out Ferdinands life in hour
ago I am referring now t the dis
patch whlch I gave you at Viunnu
Iladdon He was to assure these rep
resentatives of tho various states that
England realized that a harmonious
confederation could alone permanent
ly allay the present discontent in tho
I
Into the hands of this committee I
CapL Forbes will follow the same
course If necessary He ban full In
structions to exorcise his discretion
In this matter
It Is not without surprise that tho
ministry has learned of your promise
to Ferdinand regarding In lands sup
port of his project namely tho
threatened invasion of Macedonia
Fortunately tho ministry is con
I vlnc d that sonic such moo as yoi
Function Is expedient to free Mace
donia from the atrocities of Turkish I
misrule that have shocked Europe so
long Ills majestys ministry there
fore IB Inclined to overlook In this
Instance any undue bias you have
shown In espousing Macedonia
cause
cnusU
If you are convinced that tho finan
clor of Now York city whom you have
named Is sincere In his offer to give
Prince Ferdinand financial support
you arc authorized to tell him Hint
hlB majestys ministers are hoartll
In favor of Prince Ferdinands lava
alol and will exert every Influence to
Insure him unrestricted action More
over the foreign ofllce Is In full ac
cord with your views as to the sum
of money Indispensable to Ferdinands
project
But Awhile his majestys govern
nlent agrees with you that lofty prin
ciple actuate Bulgaria It realize
with yourself that lofty principles are
not sufllctent to Insure the success of
sumcent
Ferdinands cause
In conclusion we hasten to as
sure you o our fullest sympathy In
your endeavor to help an oppressed
people gain their liberty and that it
Is not without satisfaction we find
ourselves enabled to further your per
sonal wishes and ambitions In this
matter Nor need you have anxlotj
that your own Interests will run coun
ter to thoso of England Wo view
I with concern the precarious state of
your health but we trust that It will
not prove an obstacle to your contem
plated meeting of the financier In
conference at Altorhoffen at the
chateau of Prince Ferdinands secret
1 i I
I Our Happiness She Said Shyly ° We Share with Others I
Peninsula Had Starva seen this dis
patch It Is not likely that he would
have had recourse to violence
Do you mean to loll me ex
claimed Locke incredulously that
your ministers of the foreign office
cherish so Utopian a scheme Are
the arlous kings to abdicate because
ablteato
England nods
I am telling you nothing of the
sort chuckled Forbes You Amer
icans are infants when It comes to
the Intricacies of diplomacy Secret
agents and spies at Sofia had warned
the government of the Intended upris
ing I was necessary that England
should know more of tho conspira
tors Therefore Sir Mortimer was In
structed to profess a sympathy for
tho cause which of course was not
sincere This dispatch Sir Mortimer
or myself wero to allow to bo stolen
if necessary Its contents were ex
plained to me before I left London
that 1 might repeat verbally the mes
sage should tho dispatch not reach
him
Since you have already betrayed
your governments confidence said
Locke Jocularly tell us tho purport
of the second dispatch
1 will read It to you since the
seals are broken agreed Forbes after
a moments hesitation
To Ills Excellency elcSlr The
same messenger who gives you this
dispatch will deliver you another
which authorizes you to treat with
the committee of tho various states
of the Balkans who have for their
aim a confederation of these states
You will uso the aforementioned dis
patch at your discretion It Is need i
less to say that neither this ministry
nor the other powers can for an in
stant sanction a scheme so impos
sible But It has conic to our knowl
edge that a dangerous conspiracy ex
Jsts to overthrow the rulers of the va
rious states To check this conspir
acy it may be well for you to tempo
rize If you think It expedient per
mit the dispatch mentioned to fall

Haddon said Locke not a little

Never has writing thrilled me as

dawning on me I clutched the pa

Forbes I cried hoarsely once
though quite unwllllngfy I tricked
you out of the dispatch Locke just

to give me for half an hour tho dis

thought those papers throw a flood
of light on the letters and notes of
your brother that we havo so harshly

I was sorting carefully the papers
Helena had just given me tho lottcri
supposed to have been written by the
committee of freedom and to which
Sir Mortimers comments wero pin
ned I laughed aloud when I saw
that these letters supposed to be the
originals were typewritten a woro
tho copies
Now 1 understood why Madame de
Varnlor had refused to let me see
what sho called the original papers I
I was not so much that sho feared I
should destroy them she knew that
Limo fact of their being typewritten
would at onco awaken my suspicion
Did It not occur to you as being
rather suspicious that these letter
were written on 1 typewriter
At first it did replied Helena
searching my faco wondcrlngly
But she quieted my doubt by ex
plaining to me that tho letters wero
typed to prevent tho possibility of
their being traced
