Congress is always ready and ANXIOUS TO VOICE PUBLIC
OPINION, BUT IS INCLINED TO OVERDO THE MAT-
TER. Both political parties are constantly bidding against each other
for popular support, and so the party in power is very apt in its legis-
lation to go far beyond what public opinion really desires or is willing
to tolerate.
The supreme court, on the other hand, has during its history
shown a marvelous ability to VOICE CORRECTLY THE SOBER
SECOND THOUGHT OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, lso
much so that when public opinion has changed it has not hesitated to
overrule itself on the legal fiction that the previous decision was in-

RESS is one thing on which every one in the Newport so- ,
ciety set is mad. And the extravagance of dress and ultra
fashion is the only thing with which I find serious fault.
This outrageous devotion to fashion, the endeavor to
have the latest and most extreme creation of the mode, is the ROOT
OF ALL EVIL OF SOCIETY IN AMERICA. Divorce, which
I consider the worst evil of America; suicide—ALL CRIMES
WHEN FOUND IN SOCIETY ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO
CLOTHES.

Not only does every woman who en-
ters an elevator containing a mirror
turn round immediately, touch up her
frizes and remove flakes of soot from
her face, but men adjust their neckties,
take a deliberate survey of themselves
and pose and inflate their chests like
Col. Sellers of lamented memory. A
little stenographer in her building over
near the city hall, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean, had been observing this
peculiarity in the lords of creation.
One day having surprised a man mak-
ing a more deliberate and careful scru-
tiny than usual, she expressed her
opinion to “James,” the elevator man.
“You needn't talk about the vanity
of women after that,” she exclaimed
scornfully. . “Men look at themselves
twice as long and twice as intently as
the vainest woman that ever breathed.”
“You didn’t hear what he said to
me, did you?” asked James.
“No.’
“He said, ‘I’ve been drunk four days,
an’ I just wanted to* see how I
looked. ”
Doing public things and escaping
publicity is an impossible undertaking.

lent, and her small son, who was very
proud of her accomplishment in this
line, frequently boasted of it among
the other children. Onge when some
of his schoolmates were vaunting the
occomplishments of their several moth-
ers, he was overheard to declare:

“Sarah, if you please,” she corrected.
“Well, Miss Sarah,” he said, “what
can I do for you?”
I want to get a mitten, if
please, an’ charge it to mother.”
“You mean a pair of mittens, don’t
you?”
“No,” she said, with an impatient toss
of her head, “I mean just on’y one; one

Woman Can Never
Be Man’s Equal.
By Professor CHARLES HEYDEMANN, English Scientist.
OMAN IS NOT MAN’S EQUAL, NEVER HAS BEEN AND
gg i NEVER WILL BE. SHE IS THE COMPLEMENT OF MAN,
BUT THE LESSER ONE, AS EXPRESSED BY THE TERM
“MINUS.” NO ONE DENIES HER GREAT QUALITIES.
BUT IF SHE IS ENTITLED TO THE SYMPATHY OF
HUMANITY AS SUCH, SHE IS NOT AND NEVER WILL BE CAPA-
BLE OF UNDERTAKING THE DUTIES OF A CITIZEN.

There is a certain class of women of the present day who claim
equality with man, and more especially political equality. Now,
WOMAN CAN NEVER BE MAN’S EQUAL INTELLEC-
TUALLY, MORALLY OR PHYSICALLY.
In nature there is continual warfare, eternal struggle for life, in
which the WEAKER GOES TO THE WALL and the stronger
comes out on top. By this I do not only mean the physically stronger
or the predominance of brute force, but also the intellectually and
morally stronger, who will always rise above the ruck.
And the same law applies in the difference of sexes.
Of course woman is more precocious in her development than
manf but} then, so are CHIMPANZEES AND ALL INFERIOR
RACES. Woman has also a longer body or trunk compared with the
lower members than man, in which she likewise is similar to mon-
keys and children.
But in the intellectual sphere she not only must remain inferior,
but HER INFERIOITY, OR, RATHER, MAN’S SUPERIOR-
ITY, MUST INCREASE IF THE RACE IS TO PROGRESS.
That is the LAW OF EVOLUTION, which has been proved in
countless instances by the greatest scientists of the world.

WOULDN’T EVERY BIT OF THE MACHINERY OF CIVILIZATION
START TO CRUMBLE AND FALL, AT LEAST UNTIL WOMEN
LEARNED NAVIGATION, MECHANICS AND OTHER THINGS THAT
MEN KNOW? THAT IS A MALE WORLD. PERHAPS WOMEN COULD
LEARN TO RUN IT, BUT THAT ISN'T THE SAME AS KNOWING
HOW.
If the lords of the earth were left in their glory tomorrow, popu-
lation would cease. The men might be lonely—some of them, but
not all. EVERYTHING WOULD GO ON LUST THE SAlfE.
Men love hunting and fighting. Work doesn’t come naturally to
them. The very element of power through the length and breadth
of the world is the arbitrament of war. Almost all our monuments
are soldiers’ monuments. Why have we none to plumbers, carpenters
and cooks ? Because MEN WORSHIP THE SWORD.
Women are BEHIND MEN IN CIVILIZATION. They are
dependent creatures because they have to DEPEND ON OTHERS.
IF SOCIETY WILL PROFIT BY WOMEN’S EFFORT TO ATTAIN
MEN’S LEVEL IN THESE MATTERS, IT * IS WOMEN’S DUTY TO
STRIVE TOWARD THAT END. IF THE TIME IS NOT YET HERE,
WOMEN SERVE THE RACE BEST BY STAYING WHERE THEY ARE.
The BALLOT IS ONLY A SYMBOL OF LIBERTY. Be-
yond and above that comes women’s fitness to share in the govern-
ment of the world. Are they satisfied with the physical health and
beauty of their children, with their mental development and their
behavior after they grow up? WAmen talk much about mother love.
What we need is a MORE CIVILIZED MOTHERHOOD.

“Arthur Smith,” said the teacher, im-
patiently, “what is it you are fidget-

Although the lad colored up, he did
not reply. The class “squealer,’ how-
ever, was ready as usual with full in-
formation.
“It’s a pin he’s got,” he said, tri-
umphantly.
“Take it away from him and bring it
here,” said the instructor. The offend-
ing pin was taken to her, and there
was no more trouble from Arthur.
Presently it was the youngster’s turn
to read, but instead of standing up as
the other students had done he sat still
and looked frightened.
“Well, why don’t you proceed with
the reading?” exclaimed the teacher.
“If you misbehave any more I shall
make an example of you.”

Arthur, “I can’t stand up ’cause the pin.

There are times in the history of ev-
ery town when if the opportunities
presented are accepted a great step
forward is made so far as insuring the
future growth of a town is concerned.
It is in letting these opportunities slip
that towns make a fatal mistake
which years after are plainly apparent
to everyone. Don’t let your town make
a mistake of this kind. It might be
fatal.

There is much talk about an income tax in this country. The
taxes imposed on the railroads of the United States equal 12 per
cent of their net income. The net income of a company represents
what it earns, just like the income of an individual citizen. What
would the average citizen say to an income tax of 12 per cent on his
yearly earnings?
The COST OF LIVING HAS INCREASED greatly. Every,

gold, lessening its purchasing power, is the cause. That is a subter-

Kansas started out with a reputation
for lawlessness fully as undesirable as
that gratuitously given to Texas
1845, the soil of that state is no bet-
ter than that of the states surround-
ing her, tornadoes were supposed to
make Kansas their playground and
drought jvere the rule rather than the
exception, yet today the state shows a
condition of material, intellectual and
financial prosperity that borders on the
marvelous. Has it been accomplished
by her schools, her rural population or
her native born citizenship? It has
been accomplished somehow, and it can
be done again by any other state that
will learn the secret and put it into
practice.
The state of Kansas is supplying the
balance of the United States with so
many advanced ideas in such a variety
of lines that one hesitates to again
call attention to that commonwealth
as having supplied something addition-
al in the way of higher citizenship. But
when Kansas dibes offer a sensation
the people have learned that it is some-
thing worth while and they are al-
ways ready to listen to the latest that
comes with the brand of the Sunflower
state. '■
The president of the Kansas Asso-
ciation of Charities, who has lately
completed an investigation of the con-
ditions surrouirffing hiiB-work; has au-
thorized the statement that in half
the counties of the state he found no
prisoners in the jails. There are 105
county poor farms in the state and
out of this number 28 have no inmates,
and from comparisons made it appears
that Kansas ranks near the top in the
list of states showing small percentage
of crime, dependence and defectiveness.
While this is the finding of an official
of the state, it is a statement so easily
controverted if untrue that no one
would dare father it unless the records
supplied the data proving the correct-
ness of what is stated.
As might be expected there have de-
veloped numerous claimants for the
credit of this marvelous showing, and
ft is going to call for some deep bur-
rowing before it can be stated with
any degree of certainty to whom or to
what belongs the credit for this ex-
hibit. One reasoner maintains that it
is the absence of large cities in the
state that contributes the most im-
portant element in bringing about the
enviable condition, and arguing from
the well-known fact that a rural pop-
ulation is more peaceable and law-
abiding than city dwellers, it would
appear that those who advance this
argument have put up a reasonable
plea. Statistics show that Kansas has
less number of foreign born citizens
almost any other state, and this
is also advanced as a reason for the
good showing. The fact that Kansas is
prohibition state is also advanced as
one of the reasons for the absence of
dependence and pauperism found by
comparison to be much more prevalent
fn other statts, and there are those who
insist that this is the only reason.
According to the last census Kansas
stands third among the states as re-
gards literacy, and this fact taken with
the two already mentioned should fur-
nish ample reason for what the presi-
dent of the Associated Charities found.
It appears to be an established rule
that wherever crime is abnormally
present there will also be found de-
pendency; that crime lurks in the by-
ways of large cities; that illiteracy is
sort of first cousin to crime. Re
move the relationships and the need
for almshouses and poor farms Is re-
duced to the minimum.
Some day those who are interested
in the settling with desirable people
of a sparsely populated section will
learn that salubrious climate and pro-
ductive land do not comprise the en-
tire list of attractions tended to en-
tice settlers. A convenient school
house, a church, a law-abiding com-
Lot of Galvestonians are doing their

Brutal Customs

and indelicate. If it were Turkey now!
“In the days before Batoum fell to
Russia,” he resumed, “a sailor on an
English ship lying in Batoum harbor
went ashore and bought himself a pair
of trousers. He put the trousers on.
His old ones were quite worn out, and
he told the dealer to throw them away.
Then he started forth into the street
proudly.
“Soon he met a group of customs of-
ficials. They stopped him, and their
chief said:
“ ‘Those are new trousers you’ve got
on?’
“ ‘Yes,’ said the sailor. ‘I just bought
them.’
“‘Then,’ said the customs chief, ‘you
must pay duty on them.’
“ ‘But I’ve no money left,’ said the
sailor. And this was true. His last
copper had gone to pay the shopman’s
bill.
“ ‘No money?’ cried the chief. ‘That’g
very bad for you, then. You’ll have to
leave the trousers with us in that
case.’
“ ‘But I’ve nothing under them,’ ob-
jected the sailor.
“ ‘Never mind; we won’t look,' and
the chief and his men all repeated that
there was no fear—they would none of
them look.
“ ‘But other people may
shouted the desperate sailor.
“The officials shrugged their shoul-
ders.
“ ‘That,’ they said, ‘is no concern of
ours.’
“And so the poor sailor was forced,
willy nilly, to leave his new purchase
behind, and to gallop to his ship as
best he could, making up in speed for,
what he lacked in drapery.”

are many laws on the statute books today that
are not enforced because they are absolutely unenlorci-
ble. And this is because PUBLIC OPINION is op-
posed to them and will not tolerate their enforcement.
ENACTMENTS UPON THE STATUTE BOOKS THAT
ARE NOT SUPPORTED BY PUBLIC OPINION ARE
NOT WORTHY TO BE CALLED LAWS. EITHER THEY ARE NOT
ENFORCED AT ALL, IN WHICH CASE THEY ARE NO BETTER
THAN SO MUCH WASTE PAPER, OR IF THEY ARE ENFORCED
THEY BECOME OFFENSIVE.
With the exception of the senate’s power to approve appointments
and treaties and to try impeachments, congress is still limited chiefly
to the exercise of its original legislative functions, but this power has
been largely deprived of its exclusive character, for congress has
shared it with both the other branches of government.
It has yielded to the executive or to the commissions appointed by
him certain distinctly legislative powers in the making of treaties and
in the control of corporations, in the fixing of customs duties and of
railway rates. '
