The New Woman. We have heard so much talk of late about the new woman, it may be well to inquire as to just what constitutes the difference between the new woman and her predecessor. When the advocates of radical feminism are themselves interrogated they seldom give forth a clear note. A thousand reasons are given why the woman of today must differ from the woman of yesterday, if she is to hold her own. But may not the Whole matter be summed up in just this: that the new woman differs from her predecessor in just the same way and for the same reasons that the new man differs from the man of the past? And is not that difference simply one of technical training? The new store-keeper uses the double entry book-keeping system, purchases scientifically, uses a cash register, advertises and studies his business as a profession, where the old storekeeper kept his records on scrap paper in his Jpocket, bought in hop-scotch fashion, stored his cash in a cigar box and let the spiders play in his (Windows. The women who belong to the time that has ialready passed do their work in that same oldfashioned, uneconomical, hit-and-miss manner. Theirs is the rule of thumb and a general method handed down from the extinct handicraft period. X,ike the Chinaman, they do their work the way they do because it is the way their ancestors jdid it. But the new woman will apply to her own functions the same technical methods that have proved so successful in business and scierce. And in so doing she will find her domain open out to such lengths she will find che has all along been living in the midst of an unaxplored world. The efficient housekeeper will no longer prepare for the table what fashion dictates or depraved palates demand, but will understand the chemistry of food and make a dinner to give the maximum of nourishment and strength to the partakers. Who can tell how many persons have failed in business as well as in health because of the concoctions unloaded into the stomach prepared with no other purpose than the gratification of an appetite long warped from the normal through gastronomic excesses! She will learn something of the nature and uses of fabrics w(hich play so important a role in every home. Carpets, curtains, laces, dress materials and lelther are almost an unknown quantity to the average homemaker. She is at the mercy of the unscrupulous salesman who chooses to deceive her. If the men who make and handle these things knew as little about them as the women who buy and utilize them every textile industry would go to pieces in a fortnight. The new women will say, "We shall learn as much about the uses of these things as our husbands know about their manufacture." The new housekeeper will take a pride in mastering the difficult art of home decoration, a factor that plays a more important part in the shaping of human lives than it is given credit for. To so arrange pictures, wall paper, draperies and all the other items of decoration as to surround growing boys and girls with harmonies of line, color, shade and masses is to achieve a triumph which few women are fitted for. Domestic hygiene is another dark Africa to too many housewives. They expose their families to disease through ignorance and then pay the penalty by long nights of nursing and endless years of anxiety. A slight knowledge of the elementary principles of ventilation, heating, garbage and wastes disposal and similar matters would smoothe the wrinkles from many a face. And who shall imagine the limits of the possibilities in children, which must ever remain woman's chief vocation on this planet? How many women know how to feed a child, how to correct it of its bad habits, how to feed and care for it, how to develop it in nature's own methods and, in short, to present the world with a master-; piece along which Angelo's sculptures are as the efforts of a tyro a completely developed boy or girl! Lastly, how many women are versed in the ancient and honorable art of right entertaining and hospitality? What the sun is to the sideral universe, that is to human society. It is one of the most difficult arts in the world, an art of which any woman may feel proud. All this is but to say that any woman who aspires to enter the public sphere will, if she but look about herself, discover her own private domain to be a far better training school that the mart or the office.

group, arbitrarily appointed or of hereditary succession, do all the choosing. If the question up is whether the people of a community should or should not own their own electric light plant, the oligarchs do the deciding. But in a democracy the same question is supposed to be settled by the free choice of the people as expressed through some form of voting. If the people do not decide that question itself they engage representatives, and thus settle it indirectly. But when a city government is changed, as Dayton's was recently, from the federal plan which is defended as being more representative than any other to the commission form with its centralized authority, a cry goes up, "This is destroying the democracy of our city." It was this which the opponents of the Dayton charter urged against its adoption. "You are taking our councilmen, our representatives, away from us and turning their duties over to five men selected at large. We, the people, can no longer have a voice in our own government." But, as a matter of fact, the new system is far more truly representative and democratic than the old, because it more easily makes it possible for the people to express their choice pn the things about which there can be a choice. When any matter of public policy comes up the machinery is at hand by which it is referred back to the people themselves, and not to supposed representatives. In that way the new charter is more democratic than the old and makes possible more completely than the federal plan real popular rule. Yes, some say, but what will you do with the manager and the service directors, who are not chosen at all, but who are appointed? Is not their being appointees itself the destruction of our popular rule? We people don't hire these men and we have no power to discharge them. Is not that a destruction of democracy? It is not, and for a very simple reason: In a commission government the men who are appointed by the commission are chosen to do that ahtout which there can not possibly be any choice. It is their duty to administer the business of the city in a thoroughly efficient and economic manner. And as to the methods of business efficiency, there is no room for difference of opinion. All agree that a city treasurer must keep track of every dollar coming in or going out. There can be no choice about his balance, because the public can not decide whether or not two and two make four. The public has no jurisdiction over the multiplication table. And the same thing is true of every other administrative department. If asphalt is found by scientific test to be the best fitted for a certain street, the public can not more change the decision of the tests than it can the operation of a natural law. Every department which does the actual work of carrying on the community's business affairs must be under the jurisdiction of expert knowledge and not of popular will. Under the limited absolutism of Germany,

under the parliamentary democracy of England, J

and in the democratic United States these things must all be done alike. There is no room for difference. About these things there can be no choice. Therefore, they can neither be democratic or undemocratic ; they can only be efficient or inefficient.

This is the question sages, philosophers, scholars and scientists in all ages have struggled and wfestled wlth, and today are writing volumes on volumes to elucidate; still the outstanding question confronts mankind. The most interesting riddle of the human mind is farsightedness or longdistance looking after nearby truth; did you ever notice that wheu looking for an object in total ignorance of its location, that you looked first in the furtherest corner for it, and finally found right under you nose the very object which "if it had ben a snake would have bitten you?"

Unfortunately for them there are quite a number of Americans who have been compelled to abandon the trip to Paris planned for this year, and there are a number of others who can not see their way clear to making it until 1920 or thereabouts, and for these, especially, the coming of "Little Boy Blue." the famous Henry W. lavage operette production to the Gennett Wednesday evening should be interesting.

County Health Officer King. When G. B. Shaw and Mark Twain were together in London they said to a circle of friends, "If we did not disguise our message under a veil

of fiction the world would long ago have hanged us." That is true. A reformer who tells people frankly what is wrong with them get short shrift. Jesus of Nazareth found that out. And every savior since. Dr. J. E. King has been an unusually efficient health officer, but he has lacked the suavity and finesse which is able to perform a surgical operation on society without being discovered. He has called a spade a spade, has used plain, old United States English in making himself understood. As a consequence some folks are after his scalp. He has been drastic. If the citizens of the county knew as much as he about public health they would also be drastic, but not being so informed they consider him a crank. The man who has never seen a house fly through a microscope is willing to live with it, but the man who has discovered what fatal monsters the innocent insect packs about with it are ready for swatting bees at all times of the day and night. Dr. King has seen through the microscope. He has the swatting fever. He has swatted every menace to public health that has dared to expose its head. But many of the good people of the community have never looked through the microscope, so they resist swatting as unnecessary exertion. Not being well enough informed to swat disease they start in to swat the doctor. At a sacrifice to his own practice of not less than $500 per year, he has worked faithfully at his task, achieving the unique distinction of being the first health commissioner in the county to make a thorough sanitary survey of the public schools. If Dr. King is not returned to office we shall deem it a calamity, not because there are not others as efficient, but because it would mean that Wayne county repudiates modern hygiene, the only thing which will ever save the nation from the Niagara rapids of degeneration.
