There U an investigation on loot
lu Chicago to determine just how
tuuen, or how little, a womau caa
? oik for. and still keep from ?Ur?
u.g to death, or keep from selling
Uer soul for the support of a sick
mother or sister.
Some of the millionaire employ
ers of woiueu have been asked to
testify, and they generally are of
tne opinlou that women, like the
ciiameleou arc supposed to get
fat on a daily bait of air.
Some cl.tiiu that wages should be
gauged according to ability. That
the Incompetent worker should be
I-aid practically nothing and the ex
it ?. skilled should get more than
a'te can use. This Is the process
I'.ai always been in vogue. It came
down from the *<**? The political
eonomists all endorse it. There
tore it must be right. That Is
what a machine would do, and wom
en. when working, are machines.
lndi\idu;>i cases are not consider
ed iu the factory So many women
are supposed to produce so much
revenue for the stockholders. Their
Illness, their troubles, their cold or
hunger are no concern to the divi
dend grabb?rs. The factory wants
its bond, if it be a pound of flesh
cu? from nearest a woman's heart.
That is the result of the boasted
business system which has given
Hie i nited States such spectacular
. juiiue..ce in the commercial world
Ot course, the same system ap
and always has applied, to
men ;u.d the boys, but long
v irs ot usage has calloused the
p .ni: i on vieuce until It is not so
a, previative of individual want In
tli* ir rase It was not until the
so. lal e\il became so startllngly
prominent, that an investigation
u. < started to find the source of
s prevalence, then the knowledge
was developed that a low standard
living s 'rved to blunt the moral
ens?, which in turn made sin less
repulsive aid more easy of accept
i illy U it held out prom
^??s of relief from physical wretch
edness.
The t<-stimony in the Chicago
oases does not always show that in
divi ,ual women go wrong because of
poor pay, but it does show that
th-jse who are underfed gradually
I. tvt their morr.l ideas blunted In
l>. oportion as their physical stam
i-ia lessens. When the body Is
weary, the mind is inactive;
then comes the downfall.
The sweat shop, the factory and
t .e department stores, in fact
every place that women have to
work, treats them as machines are
tieuted. so far as the output is
concerned Of course if a machine
gets sick, specialists are employed
o cure It. and the expense is charg
ed to operating expenses. When a
woman gets sick she is thrown out
to cure herself or die or go to the
hell-holes of iniquity.
Women are only certain kinds of
machines taough Tbev are not
permitted to be voting machine*.
Whn they ask to be voting mach
ines they are told that their placee
are at home taking care of the
babies. It does not matter wheth
er they have a home to go to, or
any babies to care for, that argu
ment is used, and unthinking men
applaud the sentiment.
When women become voting
machines they will have It in their
power to rtmedy the social evil.
THE COURAGE of PATER
NITY.
The sarrednesa of a father's
love and sorrow Is rei-ognlMd as
Is the mother's ? ? ? "Would to
< onJ that I hifd died for thee, O
Atwnlom. my son. my ton!" cried
in urhty PaTld In bis agony of
^rief. and today In any thor
oughfare through which we pass
men go a boot their dally avoca
tion with sncb steadfast courage
as they may wbose bearta echo
this bitter wall In silence.? Mr*.
James Farley Cos.
In demanding an eight hour law
for Alaska, one should not be ac
tuated by a desire to "get even"
with some cannery man or some
mining superintendent. The one
important consideration is whether
an eight hour law will make better
men and women of our workers.
This paper believes that a low
standard of llying produces a low
standard of thinking. It believes
..hat crime is a concomittant of pov
erty. That physical weariness means
mental inertia, and that when the
mind is weak It permits unwhole
some thoughts to get possession of
it, the oame as when the body if
weak disease germs multiply.
If the mines and canneries can
not operate under an eight hour
law. It is better that they do not
operate. But with the published
accounts of their dividends at hand
we are convinced that with a
little readjustment ou their
part, t hey can work extra
shifts and still declare splendid
dividends To declare large divi
dends at the expense of man and
womanhood, will ultimately wreck
'.he nation.
"Ill fares the land,
To hastening ills a prev,
Where wealth accumulates
And men decay."
Alaska sbold be appropriately
represented at the Panama-Pacific
International Exposition at San
Krancisco in 1915. The Territory
should have a display that will ade
quately present to the visitor a pic
ture of its resource*)
No section of the United States
will prove more attractive to the
exposition visitor. By 1915 Alas
? *a will be one of the biggest, if
not the biggest issue before the
country.
With the tariff, currency and
trust measures out of the way ? ac
cording to the present intent of
Democratic leaders ? an opportunity
^ ill be ofi'ered for a consideration
->f all the phases of this subject.
It is altogether probable that
President Wilson, in the meantime,
will have taken action in import
ant particulars. Congress may fur
nish funds for the construction of
railroads, as is urgently requested
by the Seattle Chamber of Com
Kerco and other Western commer
cial organisations
All these facts will keep Alaska
before the public eye. The man
who goes to San Francisco will ex
pect to see there an exhibit ade
'4 at el >? informing him concerning the
Northland and Its resources
It is out of the question to look
to the Territorial Legislature for
?n appropriation for the purpose
The Federal Government ? which
enjoys whatever revenues the Terri
tory produces ? must furnish the
cash.
It is barely possible that such
an appropriation might be obtained
during the special session to con
vene on April 1. President Wilson
probably will advise that Congress
devote its entire attention to the
tariff, but there are two appropria
tion bills which must be pass
ed, to either of which a "rider"
might be attached.
The Indian appropriation bill
filled in conference. The Sundry
civil appropriation bill was vetoed
by President Taft, and although
passed by the House over his dis
approval. was talked to death in
the closing minutes of Congress by
Senator Polndexter.
In any event, strenuous effort
should be made to obtain the ap
propriation at the regular session
this winter. The money must be a
vallable by May of . Itfl4 If a
thorough aud satisfactory exhibit is
to be obtained. ? Seattle Times.
