THE SERVANT
GIRL PROBLEM
I would summon aid of literature and letters; would employ a
person fit to illustrate by the voice—by merely reading, as Richard-
son road—the masterpieces of literature, our finest poems and ora-
tions. Professors might well follow such a reading by lectures that
tear to pieces and ANALYZE those gems. Add music and art and
orgp'M if you please to your university curriculum.
How 'much will this cost ? It tVould be large, say $12,000,000 or
$14 ,000,000—say one-twentieth as much as a tunnel would cost to
get people into New York ten minutes quicker. There is nothing
in the size of the sum which need to discourage us, for we have seen
some large gifts made directly.
THERE ARE SEVERAL MEN ABLE TO MAKt THE GIFTS OUT-
LINED SINGLY, AND WILLING TO DO SO, NO DOUBT, IF THEY
COULD BE PERSUADED THAT THEY WOULD BE WELL BESTOWED.
I would* select the universities as recipients by a commission of
competent men, who should vote by ballot after obtaining needed
data as to the institutions which most fully do university work
If no foreign interference arises suddenly to affect the national
judgment, it is at least among the possibilities that we may find TWO
CHANGES taking place in the national view of the ideas grouped
under the popular term of the Monroe doctrine. We may see a con-
siderable increase in the stringency of their application where our
interest clearly calls for them within the natural sphere of our
influence. We may see them slowly moderated as to remote countries
which under changed modern conditions are no longer exclusively
within that sphere.
No Pity Shown.

China, or at any rate China and Russia combined, hold a position
in Asia far more commanding than that of the United States in the
three Americas. In both cases the governments are as absolutely
committed to the despotic as we are to the republican idea, and there
is no obvious proof that the overwhelming majority of their people
do not believe in their system as much as the corresponding majority
of our people believe in ours. Suppose China, or CHINA AND
RUSSIA TOGETHER, had taken ground that the Asiatic continent
■—being entirely occupied by the existing governments, which were
mostly in form and principle like their ovti—was no longer a field
for colonization or conquest by any American power, and on that
ground at the outbreak of the Spanish-American war had warned us

Third.—Establish professorships and fellowships in international
law for the best development intellectually and of conscience of our
young men. Our consular service is now next to the largest in the
world and we need a larger proportion of trained men.
Fourth.—Establish twenty or twenty-five professorships and fel-
lowships of the history of civilization and of political ethics. The
aim should be tb SHOW MAN’S PROGRESS IN CIVILIZA-
TION and to deduce further evolution of civilization.
Fifth.—Add similarly established professorships and fellowships
in the history of the United States. That would prbmote enlightened
patriotism and would stimulate many to join in public service,
enhance what is best in legislation and polity, and it would filter down
to the people at large. ,
SHE NOT DONE MORE TflAN HATF THE WEEK’S WORK!
Would it be fair to pay her only for the percentage of time worked!
Certainly not No one would question her right to the full week’s
But take another side of the matter. Suppose a girl is engaged
for a week and works Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and at
the end of this time decides to leave without finishing the week.
Would you have her paid for the full week? Certainly not. IN

WOULD establish at the twenty or twenty-five fore-
most universities professorships and fellowships, or
scholarships, in comparative legislation. At present
law schools teach what law is. They should teach
also WHAT LAW OUGHT TO BE. Fellow-
ships, if established, would attract young men, who
would influence their fellow citizens. Another result would be to
train young men for positions executive, legislative and judicial.
Improvement in law would be slow, but SURE, and a tendency
would ensue to homogeneity of the law.
My second proposal would be the establishment of professorships
of comparative administration of institutions, public, penal, correc-
tive, eleemosynary and special. What some of them now are our
newspapers tell us from time to time, TO OUR SHAME.
Universities are taking hold of the national life in ways unthought
of fifty years ago. But is this influence normally exerted on public
life yet by universities? I doubt it. In our courts it has a strong hold,
but not yet in our city boards, our legislatures and congress do I see
such proportion of university bred men as every patriot must desire.
I would back up Theodore Roosevelt, John Hay and Governor Gen-
eral William H. Taft with many men of their training. I would
always have in public position a very large proportion, perhaps a
majority, of men of affairs—SELF MADE MEN, who take prac-
tical hold on the everyday work of life and who have TESTED
THEORY BY PRACTICE and reality—but I would as certainly
have our universities much more numerously represented than at
present.

RESPONSIBILITY. A railroad through the three Americas will
draw us more closely together. The currents of trade will change.
The legitimate sphere of our influence will thus widen throughout
those nations with the years; and it might be INCREASED
RATHER THAN DIMINISHED by a moderation of our extreme
claim to interfere now with any exercise of their own sovereignty as
to territory, government or otherwise, to which their calm judgment
of their own best interests may bring them.

WANT to say that WE ALL GO TO THE DEVIL
ON $50,000 A YEAR. At least a great many
men I know are going to the devil on that sum, and
few are escaping it
But how many men ever went to the devil on
simplicity? I VENTURE TO SAY NONE.
Today we are raising pampered sons aad daughters in this new
system, surrounding them with every luxury and idle satisfaction
of desire, and THEY ARE ROTTEN BEFORE THEY ARE
RIPE. I repeat it, they are rotten before they are ripe. And
the boys in many cases are sinful before they are bearded.
DO not say that the Monroe doctrine would DISAP-
PEAR if Europe ceased to oppose it. I do say that
under a show of European opposition it would be
likely to last indefinitely; and that in a long absence
of such opposition it MAY HOLD TOGETHER
LESS TENACIOUSLY. The things that made the
Monroe doctrine have disappeared. Under such circumstances it may
be easy after awhile for us to look over the Monroe doctrine again
in the light of the present situation of the American continent and
of our present necessities. WE WILL CERTAINLY NOT
ABANDON IT; but we may find, if nobody is opposing us, that
perhaps its extension quite so far beyond the original purpose of Mr.
Monroe and Mr. Adams as the fervor of our patriots has carried it
may prove to be attended with wholly UNNECESSARY INCON-
VENIENCE to ourselves.

Women as Well as Men
Are Made Miserable by
Kidney Trouble.
SEE THAT THE WOMAN QUESTION ENTERS INTO THE
MATTER AT ALL. Compared with the ordinary day laborer
the understood contract is much the same, as is also the grade of
intelligence.
To be respected in housework or any other employment three
points must be observed—a girl must be qualified for her posi-
tion, she must do her work conscientiously and well, and she must
have inherent dignity and a sense of responsibility. On the other
hand, the employer must treat the servant with as much considera-
tion as she would expect were their places reversed. That, I think,
epitomizes the situation.
NO LAW OR CONTRACT WOULD REMEDY THE EXISTING EVILS.
THEY ARE DEEPER THAN ANY CONTRACT CAN REACH.
Now, as to whether or not a servant may be discharged and

only way to get well. 1, however,

My husband felt disheartened as

him to get a bottle of Wine of
Cardui f6r me to try, and he did so.
I began to improve in a few days and
my recovery was very rapid. With-
in eighteen weeks I was another
being.
