Peace Between the Sexes.
London Lady's Pictorial


1t would be an excellent thing IL for a
considerable time to come If nothing what
ever were written about women OF. the re-
lation of the sexes to each other. Women
are continually under the microscope, and
when they are not being criticised or ap-
praised by men, they are being exrolled or
vituperated by their own sex. This ever
lasting thrusting of women into prominence
has undoubtedly brought about great
deal OF the misunderstanding between the
sexes, and vast amount of the modern
W0manss restlessness and discontent.

Mr. Bunau-Varilla Calls.

Mr.. PHILIPPE Bunau-Varilla, who was the
first minister to Washington from Panama
and played an important part in the sale of
the Panama canal property to the United
States, has arrived in this city and called
today, in a preliminary way, to pay his
respects to the President, Secretary Taft
and other officials. Mr.. Bunau-Varilla says
he comes to volunteer any information at
his command respecting the physical fea-
lures of the canal project. He is civil
engineer of high reputation, and from his
connection with the Panama project since
it's inception by the late NJ. de Lesseps he
feels that he is, perhaps, as well acquainted
with the great problems to be solved In the
construction of the canal as any engineer
in the world. Because of his devotion to
the project he is willing to give any advice
to the engineers who are now seeking to
perfect their plans, and he has some de-
cded views to the relative merits of the
sea level and lock projects. He fastened
his departure from Paris in order to see
President Roosevelt personally before the
latter departed on his western trip, and he
was accompanied to the White House by

On an Extra Session.

Gen. Keifer, when asked about the pros
poets of an extra session in October, said:
Il have not talked with the President
about the matter and have not the least
idea what his intentions are, but I am
not inclined to think there will be an ex-
ira session. The Senate committee that is
at work on the question of railroad rates
will probably get its work well in hand
by the time of the regular session, when
it will be able to make report. Extra
sessions are frequently the source of
friction and 1 am disposed to think that
the regular session next winter will be
able to give the people whatever legisla-
ton is desired as to. railroad matters.

How Men Choose Wives.

From the London Mail.
New theories of unconscious selection on
the part of man and wife-like mating with
like-as opposed to Darwin's idea that men
and women depend upon their perceptive
and intellectual faculties in choosing each
other were propounded by Prof. Karl Pear
son of University College, London, at the
Royal Institution.
He maintained that man has an uncon-
scious tendency to select a wife of his own
height, with eyes of his own color, a pro-
portionate span from forefinger to fore
finger, a forearm corresponding to his own
and a constitution of like physical vigor.
These theories he expended by means Of
tables and diagrams.
Among every 1000 men the color of the
eve is divided as follows:

Committee Craftsmanship.

"Big Bill Taft, Secretary of War. in spite
OF his own strenuous efforts to keep out of
the republican race for President, will have
strong backing for the nomination In his
own state and from other parts of the coun-
try. His friends, knowing his gentle, retfr-
ing disposition and his Discrimination to get
into a scramble or fight for anything, are
beginning to reach the conclusion that they
must look after his interests, regardless of
his repeated statements that he is not to be
a candidate for the republican nomination.
They do not propose to permit him to say
no every time they go near him, as ne has
been doing right along for number OF
weeks
Ohio republicans, who like Secretary Taft.
are immensely pleased, it is said, to find out
that he has agreed to accept the position or
permanent chairman of the state convention
to be held this year. In that position he
must sound the keynote of the republican
campaign this year, and IN way Will rep
resent the administration in what he says.
No date place for the convention mas
been agreed upon as these details are 10 pe
arranged by the state committee When II
meets The selection of Secretary TAFT 1or
chairman of the convention will not be dis-
pleasing to the Foraker men, who DO rot
regard Secretary Taft as 1nimcal 10 the
candidacy of the Ohio senator for the repup-
welcome the selection because of the emil
nent fairness and wise craftsmanship OF the
man, knowing that he would do nothing 10
take away from the strong support Sentaor
Foraker has for the nomination. They feel
that Secretary Taft will not yield to the Ell
forts to push his name, and that IN the emu
he will give his support to Foraker
Secretary Taft was at the Wnlte House
today and two other visitors there were
Senator Dick and Representative }. war
rem Keifer The two latter did not remain
long with the President and their visit was
not of significance Senator DICK sald thal
the honor of presiding at the coming state
convention had been offered to Secretary
Taft, who had opened the campaign in that
state last year. That was as Tar as MT.
Dick would discuss Ohio politics or any
feature of it, The delcacy of the situation
is one that does not allow him to talk, ana
he knows how to keep quiet. Senator
Foraker, his colleague, has ardent trlenos
all over the state who are booming him for
President, while the admirers of Secretary
Taft will not stand for his oblterating him
self politically. Therefore there Is sharp
contest which necessitates Mr.. Dick being
exceedingly careful.
The Taft men are counting on his be-
coming Secretary of State should Secretary
Hay retire on account of iil-health and
believe that will further enhance the de-
mand that he shall not efface himself from
presidential possibilities.

Another Japanese Triumph.

The report of the chief surgeon of
General Oku's army, recently publish
ed in this country, shows that the Jap
anese have mastered problem that
has ever been too difficult for the ma
tons of the western world-the prob
lem of reducing the mortality from dis
case of the army in the field.
The report asserts that in the sew
en- months from May to December 1.
General Okus army of more than 1OO,-
600 men, lost only forty men from dis
ease. This seems incredible, and when
it is remembered that in all that time
the army was engaged in active cam
paigning it almost passes belief, but
if it were not true it would hardly be
made the subject of an official report.
Nearly rs per cent of the men. or
24,642, were sick, and of these 1888
recovered while on duty, $500 were
sent to Japan for treatment. and the
others, except the dead, were still I'M
dergoing the treatment when the re-
port was made. The most prevalent
disease was beri- beri. which afflicted
500. There were only 1913 cases of
typhoid and 342 of dysentery.
In the Spanish-American war about
275,0OO American soldiers were placed
under arms, and of these fewer than
10000 saw actual service, but the NOR
tally from disease was 1866. The
death rate in the British army during
the Boer war was even greater, and
in both cases the worst scourge was
typhoid. A comparison of these fig
ures affords an additional cause for
admiration of the amazing Japanese,
who seem not only to have mastered
the modern art of war, but of medical
science as well.

For while money could make tour
nament revival impressive, such a re-
vival would doubtless fail to he con-
vfncing. Whether, in days of old
knights were really holder or whether
viewed across the longer perspective OF
the years they merely seem bolder is
a question, but it is difficult to asso-
ciate modern knight with the reck-
lessness and picturesqueness of tour
nament days. He would do his best,
this modern knight, conscious of his
forbears, but it is probable that he
would look. as though he were acutely
conscious that he was making a fool
of himself. 1t is only the exceptional
Englishman and the exceptional leu
ton who has the histrionic gift
But those who saw in the contem-
plated revival of the tournament a
hope also of the revival of The chivalry
which originated it need not despair.
AS matter of fact. the modern knight
has perhaps quite as much real chiv-
airy in his composition as had the
man who proudly displayed his lady's
favor in the lists. The latter fought
the battles of the young and beautiful
only. The modern knight, if he IS
chivalrOus at all, seldom makes any
such discrimination. The armor of
the middle ages might prove too large
and heavy for him, but in defense of
the weak and the prosecuted he can
WELD as sturdy blow as any tourna-

Light In Kentucky.

At last Kentucky-"th dark and
bloody ground1-seems to have receiv-
ed considerable light. Law and order
are taking the place of ambush and
the assassin. The trials in Breathitt
county. which attracted so much at
tention at the time, and which were
only made possible by the presence of
troops, served as a stimulus to prose-
cutting officers in other counties The
law-abiding people took courage and
set about to aid the authorities to pun
ish murderers. Thus there is now re-
ported a revival of trials for murder.
Petit juries throughout the states
have taken courage and in one county
alone there have been six men convict
ed of murder and sentenced to death.
with three others awaiting trial And.
as a dispatch from Lexington sets
forth, there has not been a lynching
since the legal activity began" All of
which is highly encouraging and hope
full.
By using the machinery of the law
there may come to be a greater re-
spect for the law and the lives Of 9TH
ers. The cowardly bushwhacker.
the man who shoots from ambush
breads the idea of hanging. Now that
it is being demonstrated that the retit
juries are not afraid to ind ,erIicts
Of guilty there is to be, perhaps, less
inclination to commit wanton murder.
And this ought to put an end to the
feuds so rampant in Kentucky FOR
many years. Light has indeed come
to the old state, and it is a hopeful in
dication when half a dozen .nurdert rs
can be convicted in an Orderly wy
But these men have not vet been
hanged. The disposition of the Ken
lucky governors has been D provide
pardons with free hand If this pol
icy is to be continued the u Dirk of the
courts will be made negI e. Con, ic-
tions for murder are not alone sufi-
cient- The murderers must be hinged
in order to produce the desired results
and to establish the fact that the at
thorities are in earnest 10 10 away
with the long continued era of law
lessness and an utter disregard for hui
man life. Let us hope that Kentucky
has at last set about to remove the
deep stain from its name.

TWO PHOENIX JOCKEYS
The Reputation Frank Graham Is
Building Up.

Two Phoenix boys are winning dis
tinction on the coast as jockeys. one
of them is Frank Graham, son OF
James Graham, and the other is Com
modore Passey, who has been riding in
Phoenix and other places for several
years. He is now at Ascot Park,
Los Angeles. Graham is fifteen years
old and has been with the racing firm
OF Burger and Gaylor since last May.
He is under a three year contract, dat
ing from August II last, and he has al
ready made u mark.
He had at the beginning the uphill
work which every young jockey must
90. He had to prove his worth against
the prejudice of judges in favor of old
er jockeys and against the Will of his
employers he was frequently pulled
down. But last Thursday he gave a
performance which drew from the
judges at Oakland that he would not
be taken off any more. He rode Cous-
in Carrie to victory He got off third
in a full field but he soon took first
place and kept it easily in spite OF an
accident the stumbling of the mare il
bad ground.
This same mare lost a race some
time ago under the following circum-
stances described by the sporting ed
itor of a San Francisco paper in which
ne blamed the judges for the result OF
the race: There was good reason
that Graham should have been allowed
to pilot Cousin Carrie and that is be-
cause he knows her better than any
one else. If Graham had been on the
mare the chances are that he would
have improved the good lead she had
on the turn into the stretch and he
would have opened up such gap that
none of the others could have caught
him"
Graham's weight is nnety-two. He
has not varied from that in a year
and it is thought that he Will not
greatly vary within the time of his
contract.
