CRIM1NAL1TY OF THE SEXES
Statistics show Tint Women Are Not
Mems Equals In Law
Iessness.

In an article on Women and the
Emotions" by Prof. Mantegazza, in the
humanitarian, there are some interest
ing statistics showing that those mod
ern sociologists who hold that women
are mems equals in the field of criminal
ity are wrong. Here are some of them:
Man bears false witness 100 times to
a woman's II.
Man for forgery and counterfeit
coming was convicted 100 times to q
woman S IL.
In France women are summoned be-
fore the tribunals four times less than
men.
In France in 1880 women delipquents
were IA 10 100 men.
In Italy in the same year they were
only nine per cert.
In Algeria we have 96 male delin-
quents and only four women.
In England and Wales between 1884
and 1912 there were "a women to 100
men, all for the more serious offenses,
In 1871 DR., Nicholson found in the
prisons in England s,21s men and 1,217
women.
In Bavaria from 1863 to 1866, in pop
ulation consisting solely of peasants
the women who were condemned were
In proportion 30 to 100 men.
In the prisons of Turin from 1871 to
1884 the women in respect to men are
represented by figure of 1867 per cent
Taking the whole of Europe, women
are, the professor says. five times less
guilty than men.

LIVING ON THE WATER.
Some Families in New York spend
Their Time on Their AM
chOred Yachts.

A wet sheet and flowing sea has
nothing whatever to do with life
aboard yacht as exemplified in the
Bay Ridge Yacht basin, in South Brook
lyn, says the New York Herald. There
are five or six yachts there, one of them
a roomy schooner craft, which for va
rious reasons are not in commission
this summer. Nevertheless the owners
and their families or their friends live
and sleep on board. On one sloop are
five young men, who go to skyscraper
building in Nassau street every morn
ing and take out two or three vivacious
| typewriter girls when work is over to
make the evenings merry. They rented
the boat on condition that they would
not take her outside the basin and hired
a retired sea captain, who lives near
the basin, to look after the boat during
the day and to mess for them. They
! find it cheaper than paying board in the
city, and ever so much pleasanter.
Three families wintered on yachts
in the Bay Ridge basin last winter, and
they enjoyed the experiment so much
that they talk of trying it again. The
| blizzard and the rough weather had no
terrors for them. One sloop, the Peri,
was housed above decks, very much like
| those in the tales we read about Arctic
expeditions. The families who lived in
this way were on terms of sociability
and visited every night. for games and
cards. They gave boat party in jan
uary and their friends in Brooklyn
who are given to assisting at social en-
tertainments joined them in modest
little vaudeville.
When the basin was frozen solid one
night they gave skating party, with
piping hot supper below decks as a
wind-up. There are still novelties
about for people who know where to
| look for them.

Bryan Club at Rising Sun.

Pursuant to postponed meeting
a number of the voters of the Sixth
district met in the Office of Jos. S.
Pogue, on Saturday evening last,
for the purpose of forming a Bryan
Club. Again the weather put a
partial veto on the meeting. The
rain descended in a flood and the
night was pitch dark. But few
persons from outside of town limits
put in an appearance.
The meeting organized by ap-
pointing VIM. M. Pogue tempo
rary chairman and Cecil E. Ewing
secretary.
The meeting instructed the Chair
to appoint a committee to report an
order of business and place names
in nomination for permanent Of
ficers. The following were reported
and confirmed by a vote of those
present: For president, T. Bradun
Gillespi; vice presidents, DR.. G.. S.
Dare, 81. J.. Sheppard, VIM. T..
Fryer; treasurer and corresponding
secretary, VIM. M. Pogue; secre-
tary, Cecil E. Ewing.
After confirming the permanent
officers the meeting adjourned to
meet at ame place on next Satur-
day tomorrow evening at 7:30
O'Clock when the organization will
be completed by the election of
such other officers and committees
as may be determined upon, and a
place procured for future meetings
! of the club.
A number of names were placed
on the roll of membership, and if
the next meeting IS not met by a
! repetition of such vicious weather
as the two former attempts, large
club will be enrolled. Let there he
a general turnout of Bryan men.
An unusually important presi-
dental campaign is before us which
demands education of the voters
more than any former one. In
formation is badly needed among
the masses on the vital questions
which are shaping the destinies
of the Republic and the future
veal or woe of the people. A
plutocracy and corporation power
have formed conspiracy to over
throw popular government and in
its place establish one of wealth
and class privilege. Money will be
poured out like water by the con-
spirators even more lavishly than
in the last presidential campaign,
in order to seat again their plant
tool in the presidential chair. The
people must rally to the rescue of
their liberties and their property if
they hope to save them from the
| greed of the oligarchy that is rap
! idly closing in on them. Come out
and enroll your names in the army
of deliverance from this ancient
enemy of mankind.

The Consolidating Money Power.

Steadily, constantly, Increasingly and
tireless the money power, impelled by
the Unsuitable spirit of greed and ambition
for supreme control, is entrenching and
fortifying itself in this country and con-
centrating i'll one vast army, the object OF
which is to make itself supreme in every
department of our civilization, political,
commercial, religious and social. The
following are headlines to an article in a
recent number of one of the leading
organs OF the class who stand for nothing
but pelf aud self. These epigramatic
expressions are:
''Big banks colossal plans-New York
financial institution to increase capital
stock by $4,000, 900 Has vast profits in
view-If currency bill passes bank can
issue $40, 100000 of its own notes-Son-
centration of power-Possible control Of
many banks will give City Bank pre-
eminence in world of finance" F."
The City Bank of New York is the in
stitntion or title for this grand mobiliza-
tion of the army of Mammon. single
extract from the body of the article will
suffice TO direct the attention of the
thoughtful reader to the advancing col
umns of the army of Plutocracy
''Some very rapid methods of making
money have been reported il the past
year or two, some of them due to the
energy and assistance of the City Bank,
but none equals the swi(tness with which
this operation will bring vast profits TO
those who have the opportunity to share
in it, even if the market price should
depreciate so per cent"
When this and other similar vast bank
ing trusts are formed, which will be made
possible if the money power can force or
railroad through Congress the bills its
committees have prepared, what will be-
come of the little country banks that now
are located in every village7 They will
disappearsas the small merchants before
the department stores.
With $40, 900, 600 of its own currency
and the deposits this colossus in finance,
the City Bank, would command, il could
crush every country bank within a hun
dred miles of New York, and plant its
branches from the lakes to the Rio Grand.
This is the bank Secretary Gage has
selected as a depository of the internal
revenue. amounting to over 81, 900, 900 a
day. This bank is about uniting with the
next largest bank in New York, the
Hanover, which will, when the organiza-
tion is perfected, constitute the most
coloss Il money trust in this or any other
nation. Rockefeller, of the Standard Oil
trust, and J. Pierpont Morgan hold the
controlling power in this financial
behemoth.
