her paper that a journalist can sit down
and in few minutes dash OFF, an arti-
Gle for which an appreciative editor would
pay her rs much as the girl clerk or
teacher earns in q whole week. Now, it
may be that lady journalists are gifted in
the clash OFF, method, and it may be
that the writer is rather slow in her ideas
a. to what is necessary to make COM
petent journalist, but she frankly con.
fesses that she has never yet known any
one OF either sex who could dash off"
column and get good pay for it. The
only newspaper writer who can prepare
anything that people want to read is the
one who puts hard work on it. Then
the successful writer must love the work
aud must have head full OF ideas. One
also needs practice to express in few
lines what it would require half page
for an amateur to say.

dent of their ability to "dash off, an arti-
Gle, could only be made to understand
that the greatest achievements are dearly

pointments.
There is no fault so unlovely as self
conceit. 1t seems, however, to be a dis
ease " hich, like measles, must have its
run, and which requires considerable
patience to deal with. The sensible
youth goes through school or college
career and comes out sufficiently humbled
by his experience to become useful
member of society.
However, not only the young have an
idea that they can do great things. The
writer frankly acknowl lodges that the
conceit has all been taken out of her in
the effort to do what at first looked COM
paratively easy.
The thought of table, chairs and floor
strewn with papers during the struggle to
perform the arduous work of an editor,
makes the writer feel perfectly willing to
settle down to other duties; and rs the

THE
EW
WOMAN

NEW would eeem that the new
uuo...., woman" is one of the most
important topics Of the day.
One can scarcely take up q paper or .
periodical without finding some contribu
ton to this discussion, and the last word
has not been said yet. OF course, We too
must have our say.
Sometimes it seems q little doubtful
what this new woman really wants. We
hear her cay that the men have shown
themselves to be unequal to the work Of
the world, that they have fallen immess-
hrably from the lofty standard that they
maintained in the good old days. Yet at
the first glance it would almost seem as
If this new woman were striving to place
herself in all the departments Of life's
work by the side Of this inferior creature.
Surely if the average woman believes that
the average man is such a failure she
does not need to be like him.
We all know that man has many faults,
is conceited, and enormously fsncies he is
necessary to our well-being. Perhaps in
small degree he is right. Even the
stannchest upholdar of "woman's rights"
has to go to some masculine mind. when
she gets into very tight corner, at
least, to talk things over. We find it
hard to get on without that something
shall call it superior strength (which
We look for in man, and we lose some
thing essential to our highest welfare
when we do not find it. It is the weak
ling. the man that is unworthy of q
womaD's thought, the man who commits
every sin, and yet dares to go about the
world with his head high-this Is the
type that has aroused the true woman Of
today and made her say: 81 am better
fitted to do the worlds work than you
are" We do not believe for one moment
that the new woman question would
have arisen had it not been for the stead
lily decreasing moral standard OF 80 many
men. Was it not natural that, when the
one who was the support of the family,
was squandering the money needed for
daily food, that the wife or daughter
should 20 out into the world to help her
self and those dear to her? This is how
the whole subject started. The first " no
ventured out into these new paths proved
that they we're more than capable of earn
ing what the man did not, and showed to
their unfortunate sisters that they too
could help themselves.
Let girl be brought up with the idea
that some day she may have to depend
upon her own resources for support. Let
her talents be cultivated, so that should
the time come when she has to compete
with others of either sex, she will be able
to stand, not as woman against man, but
as the competent against the incompe-
tent.
But, truly, the great question of the
me woman" seems to sink into insig-
nifcance, for there is another one rising
slowly but surely on our horizon, aud
that is the question of the new man. The
new woman has created this new ques'
ton, and is helping to solve it. When it
has been settled the relations between
these two creations will be ideal

alton, before the heat and excitement of
political campaign hides the real issues
which are before the people. Real issues
ought to be discussed. The men who
are elected to represent us should be
chosen for very definite work. It
should be understood that they are to go
to Olympia, not to fritter their time away
over two or three thousand different bills
of only local interest; but to give all
their energies and influence toward the
passage of two or three bills of great mo-
ment to all the people. We suggest the
measures most worthy of discussion and
action in our state legislature are: The
initiative and referendum, dispensary
system, and railway law reducing rates
to point that will encourage traffic and
travel and swell the revenues OF the cor
porations while adding greatly to the con-
venience and comfort OF the people. Re-
specting this last measure who would
question for moment that the people OF
North Yakima would pay the Northern
Pacific railway very much more money

about the amount OF gold and glory he

Upon the principal issue of fact sub
mitted 10 the jury, special finding
was returned that the defendant did
not mold the trial justice writ in favor
If Conner, at the time he took posses
sion and control OF the goods. The
testimony was sharply conflicting and
all efforts - reconcile ii are attended
with difficulty. but after a careful ex-
animation of all the evidence. it is thu
opinion Of the court that the case does
not present an eXigency which justifies
a new trial.
The result reached by the jury did
not necessarily require them to believe
that the Conner writ was anti-dated,
for there was sufficient evidence to au-
thorZe them TO find that the defend
am took possession and assumed con
trol Of the goods on the It'll day Of Oc-

Washington, June 16.-What may be-

tiago expedition which steamed out OF
Port Tampa Tuesday was the military
balloon equipment prepared under the
direction of Gen. Greedy, of the signal

Joseph Maxield, an experienced officer
of the corps, who will supervise all
operations connected with the use of
the airship. Unfortunately there was
considerable delay in getting the bal
loon to Tampa from New York, where
it had been sent from the west about
the beginning of the war, and this pre-
cluded any experiments with it on
American soil. 1t therefore will have
to be given its first trial in Cuba in
sight of the enemy, but Gen. Greedy
hopes that with experienced officers to
manage the ascension it can be accom-
plished safely and excellent results OBJ
