should Give Men More Encourage
ment to Pop the Question.


ment to Pop the Question.
New York Herald: DR.. Hartland Law.
Of San Francisco, who has been lectur-
ing at the Berkeley Lyceum for the last
two days on Higher Physical condi-
lions" believes that women should pro-
pose, as well as men.
He thinks that men have had too
much of a monopoly, and that 1t is
about time to enter upon new de-
parture.
DR.. Laws Views have created stir
in feminine circles, for he declared In
his lecture that so many fine women
would not be unmarried II the custom
of the men popping the question"
were not strong.
"Now, this conventional method"
said DR.. Law to me yesterday. "of men
proposing is all right up to a certain
point, but the women are not getting a
fair show. Every young woman who
believes that man would make good
husband, and that he would be fine
father, should have the right to pro-
pose to him. OF course, some girls do.
but there are many. whose shyness pre-
vents them from taking the step.
Members OF the gentler sex should
cast aside conventionalitIes many
times. l believe that II It were under
stood that women should propose-as
we'll as men-there would be 50 per
cent more marriages. Also, believe
that the marriages would be happier II
the women proposed rather than the
men in many instances, for a woman's
instinct is a great factor. Men may
make mistakes. but women do SO rare
ly.
MY wife occasionally says to me:
'Don's you have anything to do with
that man. may have associated con-
siderably with him, but soon discov-
er that my wife is right"
Mrs. Lille Devereux Blake is lnclin-
ed to believe that DR.. Laws position on
the subjecs of popping the question is a
good one in certain cases.

young women" said she to me, us
that they are so afraid of being mis-
understood that they do not give suti-
Client encouragement to young men.
Naturally 1t would be very distressing
to girl to have young man feel that
she wants him to marry her when he
may not be in love with her. But there
are many cases where the girl is so DIFF
iident that she will not give sufficient
encouragement to young man.
Take the case of a wealthy young
woman who is admired by a poor young
man. He is a worthy man. but his pride
prevents him from asking for the hand
of the wealthy girl. Why should not
the young woman propose2
Many of the sweetest and loveliest
young women are too shy. Their diff
dence is mistaken by young men for
coldness. These young ladies should
overcome their undue shyness and give
more encouragement to the men,"

In view Of the riotous conduct which
has characterized the street car strikes
in Cleveland and New York. the ques-
tlon of the conduct of strikes is being
discussed in all its various phases.
There are some points being argued by
demonstration in Cleveland. and which
bear out some theories that were long
ago laid down by conservative labor
leaders. and by statisticlans who have
made such matters a study. One OF
the arguments frequently made is that,
for certain reasons, many strikes have
not resulted in the betterment Of the
wage-workers, one Of them being the
conduct Of ill-advised sympathlzers
who inclte condition of affairs which
prolong the situation, create disorder,
to the point where the men they SYM
pathize with are handicapped in their
efforts. We have witnessed such re-
suits in many instances; 1t was SO in
Brooklyn; 1t has made 1t necessary to
provide military protection in cleve-
land.
1t is natural for the public sympathy
to be with toilers who have just COM
plants, and it is often the case that,
at the beginning, the public is willing
to aid the strikers, so long as 1t can do
SO legitimately. 1t is a wonder that
this sympathy is sometimes abused,
for in very large cities 1t Is presumed
upon, and the sympathy is largely re-
versed by the reckless conduct of few
Of the strikers, Notwithstanding the
majority and the leaders counsel a
peaceful contest. Unfortunately, when
violence is resorted to by this element
the leaders are held responsible, no
matter what their attitude. and the re-
suit is, the employers appeal to the law
and the strikers are placed on the de-
fenslve.
The great success attained by some
organizations, notably the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, is largely due
to the fact that, in,the rare event of a
strike. a special committee of strikers
is selected to see that no injury is done
to any person or to property. 1t al
ways succeeds. In a comment on way
some strikes fail, the Louisville Courier
Journal, referring to the Cleveland dis
turbances, suggests that a strike must
be won, If at all, by moral suasIon, and
not force, and continues:
II is safe to say that even in cases where
the strikers are manifestly right the same
will Of the public and the strike had best
be called OF at once. Any show Of force
| or violence allenates the best friends OF
lnbor Mt once That Is largely why there
is such n record of failures in the long
list OF strikes Notwithstanding the sympa-
thy that is always given TO such move
ments,
These are timely suggestions. They
seem to apply more to street car strikes
than to any other kind. The reason
that street car strike stlrs up whole
community, and involves so much, is
that It's field OF operations embraces the
entire territory through which the rail-
way line runs. and the cars and the
men who are running them are openly
exposed to attacks, in which all sorts of
persons participate. A strike Of skilled
workmen in a mill or a factory, is not
fraught with such scenes and dangers.
They are. in the vast majority of cases,
peaceably conducted.
