CHIVALRY AND BUSINESS
Strictly speaking, "business is
business." That is the reason why
women undertaking men's jobs or
the work that for centuries has been
lone by men in most countries
should not ask or expect favors. Of
course they do get favorable consid
eration in many instances. Chivalry
gives the woman precedence in some
details of social life, and in some
kinds of labor. But presuming their
application for and attempting to
carry on the identifical work done
by men in factory or shop it really
is not fair for them to demand any
thing more in the way of special at
tention than some things which tend
to physical comfort, and conventions,
suggest as necessary. The newspapers
are therefore not to be blamed if they
regard as humorous the report coin
ing out of the Woman's Bureau of
the United States Department of
Labor.
The author of the report, which is
based on a survey evidently made
recently, indicates as the causes for
a double standard of classification
and wages the "absence of chivalry,"
and discrimination in regard to
wc.men in employment. The New
York Journal of Commerce declares
that "evidently the author of this sur
vey believes that wage payments
should and can be based upon altruis
tic considerations. She appears to
think that low wages for wtmen are
explicable on the ground of discrim
ination without reference to inferior
ability or training. The plea is alo
made that women in many cases con
stitute the sole support of families,
and that their 'heroism' in carrying
heavy burdens is deserving of better
rewards."
The newspaper is inclined to feel
discouraged when such an argument
is put forth frcm a presumably oiTi
cial source, where it would be sup
posed the question of labor would be
considered as labor, and men ana
women given an equal stand as in
dividuals, entitled to identical treat
ment. There is quite evident a feel
ing of pity and a suggestion of "she
ought to have the best pay and the
front position because she is a wom
an" in such a statement, and this is
most certainly wrong. In fact, the
"Woman's Party, which is militant
and sometimes most expressive, is
even now demanding that every bar
rier and every protection and special
feature of legislation which seeks
to protect womanhood in industry, be
torn down. The Woman's Party
seems to imagine that it can abolish
sex by law.
Between the two extremes the
country will no doubt continue to
function satisfactorily to the great
majority. It is impossible to please
everybody; even if all the men could
be pleased it would not entirely suit
all the women. So the legislators,
everywhere, regardless of the com
ing in of women, to be members of
such bodies, and to sit on Juries and
be judges and hokl all kinds of offices
and participate in every debate, will
continue to do all that is fair and rea
sonable for the protection of women
who must work away from home.
Laws and regulations made with
particular regard to conserving the
health and comfort of the woman in
(the factories and shops and stores and
elsewhere will not be repealed. But
it would be foolish to think that sen
sible people would agree to pay more
wages to a woman because she was a
woman; if doing the exact work of
the men in identifical employment
and maintaining the identical degree
of dependability, they most assuredly
should have the same pay. But de
pendability and interest are details
tealonslv watched bv employers. If
jthey think their female help is mere
ly working along to get a little extra
j money, previous to matrimony or for
j some other reason they do not object;
ithey 6eldom protest, even though they
j may regret to understand that the
position is held temporarily; perman
ency is rarely insisted upon or ex
pected. In a very great part of the work
that is done by men and women, side
by side in industry, the men have
spent long apprenticeship at least
worked from the lowest positions in
shop or factory to reach a paying
position while the women come m,
quite a great deal, in emergencies. As
the woman making the report for the
Woman's Bureau says, many women
are heads of families and are nctually
heronies but that does not nuike
her work any the more valuable to a
manufacturer.
An item in the report suggests that
there are seventeen thousand unmar
ried women who are working and
supporting families in which there
are male members also able to work,
but not working. This is something
that would appear to deserve investi
gation. But with many thousand
towns, villages, cities, and settle
ments, perhaps, in the country it
would be only one or two to a place,
and not so terribly serious. Thou

NEW POLITICAL TOOLS
One of the newest, most . interest
ing and possibly hopeful trends in
political science is found in a few
brief an dincor.spicuoiis sentences in
President Hoover's message to con
gress, according to The Saturday
Evening Post, which rarely finds
much to commend in a state paper
coming trorn Republican sources. The
Post says:
"Referring to the long delay in
reorganizing government depart
ments, the president asks that au
thority over the problem be delegated
to the executive, with the reservation
of power by congress to revive the
president's action within a fixed, but
limited period of time.
"This turns around completely the
ordinary time-honored method of leg
islation, bv which congress acts and
the president vetoes. In other words.
Mr. Hoover asks that he be allowed
o act and that congress shall hold
the veto power over him. It is almost
a revolution in method, but one which
the fast-changing conditions of mod
ern life appear to demand.
Mr. Hoover has requested govern
ment by administrative action sub
ject to veto, which is a distinctively
new relationship between the two
branches of government. The reason
lies in the slow-moving, ponderou
processes of congressional legislation
impotent to meet many of the modern
problems which face the country."
:o:
THOUGHT
"Thought takes a man out of servi
tude into freedom" expresses one of
the wisest thoughts of Emerson.
Right thinking will take man from
servitude to freedom, from poverty
to independence, and from some other
man's payroll to your own business.
assuming you have it in you.
A sparrow by thinking can not
make itself an eagle.
A Becond class man by thinking
can not make himself a first class
man. But he can make himself a
first second class man.
Colridge asked. "If you are not a
thinking man. for what purpose arc
you a man at all?"
Thought is the fastest thing in the
world. The brain works with the
speed of lightning, ar. your d'eams
prove, when ideas go through the
bra in g without time lost translating
ideas into words. "Faster than
springtime flowers comes thought on
thought," mused Shakespeare.

The trouble with labor-saving ma
chinery, according to the Palmyra
Spectator, is that it compels so many
young men to seek a livelihood play

A RELUCTANT CONGRESS
Prohibitionists and anti-prohibitionists
in Congress inadvertently ap
pear to have let themselves in for a
greater possible degree of difference,
confusion and turmoil. The hurried
and partial report of the President's
Law Enforcement Commission, to
gether the President's recent message
to the Congress concerning these find
ings, have stirred the waters of con
troversy and debate to the develop
ment of a present weird and anomal
ous admixture of pel scnalit ies and!
opinions.
The Congres finds itself in a posi
tion where it may have to meet and
leal with issues in this connection
which may hold potentialities com
plex and troublesome from the poli
tical point of view.
Dry Senators and Representatives
are doubtful concerning many of the
commission's recommendations, which
chiefly seem to suggest a more drastic
tightening of the laws, the intrust
ing of a new authority to Government
agencies, a factual co-operation of all
the .'fates with the Government in
matters of enforcement, and so on.
"What the people really want to
know concerning the actual situation
under prohibition is what possibly
may be done about it. The public in
terest is centered upon fundamental
principle.-? of government which ap
pear to be challenged, if not wholly
nullified, by the workings and exten
sions of prohibition policy.
Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler consid
ers the present prohibition emergency
to be the greatest and most danger
out which as confronted our people
since the Civil War. In his opinion a
further deprivation of those liberties
once afforded by the Bill of Rights is
threatened.
If anything, the President's com
mission, restricted by untoward fana
ticism, has made matters in connec
tion with the vast anil intricate pro
hibition problem more complicated
than at any time since its inception,
and Congress is hesitating.
:o:
E'shcp James Cannon, Jr., who
tried to toss the South into the ranks
of the Republican party in the last
presidential campaign, has sailed for
Africa to preside over mission confer
ence in that country. The College
of Bishops would confer a lasting
favor on the real Democracy by giv
ing Bishop Cannon a permanent as
signment to Africa without leave of
absence.
:o:
Leaders in Congress are beginning
to express impatience with President
Hoover's frequent requests for the ap
pointment of committees and com
missions which are to study and re
port on important questions.
