THE EMANCIPATION OF WOMAN.
Women with feministic ideas,
whatever those Ideas may mean, are
declaring that this great war is do
ins more than demolishing Prussian
ism; it is shattering the shackles of
woman slavery. Mrs. Mabel Potter
Daggett, the noted author, has this
to say:
"The shot that was fired in Serbia
sutiHiioned men to their most ancient
occupation and women to every
other."
Mrs. Daggett of course had in mind
the thousands of women in France,
England, and even in this country,
who have gone 'out from the more
secluded pursuits of housekeeping
and are filling the places of men in
factory, shop and field. The necessi
ties of the war have demanded tnat
the wheels of industry shall not
stop and women has been called to
keep them moving.
The fact that in England women
are doing the work formerly perform
ed bv men with the same skill as it
was heretofore done is less surprisins
to the almost extinct pioneer stock
of America than to other classes of
people. The old settlers of Nebras
ka know that if necessary a wonioii
can fill a man's shoes. These old
settlers will recall many instances
when strong, red blooded wives
worked shoulder to shoulder with
their husbands in taming? these prair
ies that once were wild and uncivil
ized, and some will tell of cases
where death took the husband away
and the wife fought alone but suc
cessful fight against the perils of the
early day.
The war may be emancipating the
"weaker sex," and surely it will
brins a multitude of questions on
the future status of woman and the
home and marriage. But the war is
not changing the heart of woman.
Always has she been willrng and cap
able of rising to any ta.sk which the
emergency demanded. Lincoln Star. :

VACATION SLACKERS.
Governor Harding of Iowa is quot
ed as having said that anv man who
takes a vacation in war time is a
slacker.
Not wishing to misconstrue the
governor's remarks, we would say
that he is correct if he refers to any
w ild debauch of luxury and extrava
gance, implying lavish expenditure
and a corresponding waste.
Put if he thinks that it is un
patriotic to rest a week or two, af
ter a whole year of doubly-pressing
toil, he gives us a distinct and acute
pain.
That a man shall rest is as natural
as that he shall eat. The human
machine, like an automobile, runs
like the dickens for a long time, and
then demands an overhauling.
To say that a railroad man hand
ling the wholly essential traffic for
the war administration, cannot take
two weeks out of fifty-two for the
purpose of regaining his strength and
fitness, without automatically be
coming a slacker, is certainly stretch
ing this war service business to the
breaking point.
They give the boys in the trenches
a certain vacation period back of the
lines regularly. Every iiilor naa
his shore ieave. Even governors play
golf.
Why shouldn't every man, woman
and child be entitled to a row of
"nothing to do" recuperation with
out being stamped slackers?
They will be better workers and
better Americans tor their loafing,
as is amply attested b' experience.

SWINDLING IN OIL STOCKS.
In calling attention to the abuse of
advertising by set-rich-nuick oil
stock promoters, the Associated Ad
vertising clubs are doing a public
service of the greatest importance
The oil promotion field has be
come the happy hunting ground of
the dishonest promoter. lie can
point to the enormous fortunes that
have been made in oil. and can a-'j
sure his victims that each of them
may look forward to similar riches
by the investment nf J1.ZI0. Ai; tin
special bulletin of the advertising
clubs point out, he may even lend
a patriotic, aspect to his robbery by
calling attention to the importance
of oil production in war and by cug
gesting that the person who pays
over his money on an oil speculation
is really serving his country.
Of course there Is a legitimate
field for the organization of oil pro
duction companies and such com
panies have been organized. Put
the temptation to fraud is so great
that the advertising clubs estimate
that "at least 95 per cent of the oil
advertising is flamboyant, mislead
ing and deceptive."
Kansas City is particularly con
cerned in this form of fraud because
of its nearness to the oil fields.
Everybody has heard stories of fabu
lous oil fortunes, so there is a fertile
soil for the fradulent speculator to
cultivate. A person ignorant of the
oil business is disposed to say: "So-and-so
got rich; why shouldn't I?"
So he pays his hard earned money
over to the promoter who puts it
down in his pocket and laughs at
his victim.
There are innumerable hard work
ing men and women In Kansas City
and the surrounding country, who
have been lured into losing the sav
Inss of years by the advertising of
the oil crooks. Because he pravs on
men and women who cannot afford
to lose the money, the ol advert is
ins swindler is the most despicable
sort of thief.
The Star is doing a public duty
when it especially urges people who
are not in active business and who
are ignorant of conditions in the oil
fields doctors, ministers, and oth
ers to beware of glowing promises
of big returns from oil speculations.
According to the disinterested testi
mony of the Advertising clubs, it is
a safe guess that a very large per
eentage of the oil stock promotion
schemes offered to the public are
highly dangerous if not actually
fraudulent. Kansas Citv Star.
