Did you ever notice how it improves man to be married?" This query was propounded by a young southern woman here, says the Philadelphia Record. You can always depend upon 1t that it is a married man who shows you all the small courtesies in an ele- vator; it is a married man who stands up for you in the street car and it is the married man who does all the chores at picnic. The most thought. less, Irresponsible kind of single man often becomes a veritable model of amiability after he gets him a wife. I suppose his wife has 80 drummed good manners into nlm that he has to keep practicing all the time to keep In trim. I believe business men have more respect for a married man. too. They succeed better in everything they do. Why, only the other day there was a baseball game between the married men and the single men. Who won? The married men, of course. And you can't tell me their wives did not have something to do with It"

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1905.

The harvest season. A-4. olUugnt Wlth it the annual complaint. From the small neighboring farms to the vast grain fields of the west on both sides ot the national boundary the cry goes up of a scarcity of labor to secure crops, High prices-as compared with the usual farm wages-are offered, but with out attracting a sufficient number even of unskilled and only partly efficient hands. Of really effective help, accord ing to reports from the harvest fields, there is lamentable deficiency. Yet in the cities there are able-bodied men without employment sufficient to meet all the demands of the harvest fields IL Is an overcoming condition. For . brief season there is serious deficiency of labor in the country and throughout the year surplus in the cities, but all attempts to readjust these conditions have proved futile.
 An American journalist, returning after an absence of some years abroad, comments upon the profuse application of titles which is becoming frequent in this country. The practice is essen tially modern one. Daniel Webster in his lifetime was never spoken of as Senator" Webster, but always as plain Mir" Webster. Nowadays, how ever, it is invariably Senator this and that, and almost everybody has some kind of a handle to his name. Thus we have "Forecaster" Jones, Undertaken" Smith, Conductor Rob- inson, Superintendent of the Poor house" Brown, Common Council man" Shucks and ''Selectman" Bumps, and so on. If this kind of thing keeps on we shall end by resting our claims to respect and consideration upon those painfully minute social distinc- tions which prevail in Germany, where men or women inscribe their names in hotel registers with the addition of such descriptive phrases as cousin to an apothecary," or "brother-in-law to @ corporal"

Higher education and ambitions of women and the general diffusion of in- telligence throughout the United States are the causes of race suicide, the greatest danger now hanging over the American people," according to Prof. Edward A. Ross, the University of Ne braska sociologist, who lectured at the University of Chicago few days ago. High female education tends to defer marriage" said Prof. Ross. 'The open ing of industrial and professional ca reers for woman raises her matrimonial value and causes the heavy cost of ma ternity to be more considered. With the diffusion of intelligence there springs up in the masses new interests which limit and detract from those interests which center in the home. One-third of the marriages from the first ten classes at Vassar were ehildless. What we need is the medium family-say, four children. High birth rate is very dan- gerous. Russia proves it. Their birth rate is barbarous, yet half the children die before they are five years old. Over 3S per cent. of the men marry under 20 years of age, and nearly 75 per cent. of the women marry before that age. The result is vast horde of people, ignorant and unenlightened, that is constantly spread out over other countries seeking relief and carrying war with them. Russia is figuratively buried alive"

A LEPER'S IMMUNITY.
He Is Accused of Theft and Cannot
Be Punished Apparently.

Be Punished Apparently.
A case probably without precedenf
in legal history has been brought to the
attention of the United States district
attorney for the district of Hawaii,
saws the San Francisco Chronicle. The
postmaster at the Ieper settlement on
the island of Hawaii has been accused
of stealing a package addressed to one
of the Iepers at the settlement. The evil
dence is said to be absolutely complete
as to the guilt of the accused, but the
question is how to try him or carry out
the Judgment Of the court if he should
be convicted.
The postmaster is leper. Even II a
special session Of the United States dis
trict court should be held at the settle
ment to try him and he should be con-
victed and sentenced to Imprisonment
IT is not known how the sentence could
be carried out There Is no prison IN
the leper settlement where he could
be confined, and it is doubtful If as a
lener he would be received at any other
prison in the world. By force Of cir
cumstances it is believed he will have
to be let alone, so far as criminal pros
ecution is concerned.

fee the latter would not now be can
didate for governOr-he would not
nave dared to enter the race. He did
not consider Clark Howell as a re-
former, either. In fact, none OF the
candidates thought of advocating re-
form until he (HalD had provided
platform upon which they might with
prudence 90 before the people. But
ne did not intend to allow the great
principles for which he had been con-
tending for the past eight years to be
DrOstituted by petty fight between
two Atlanta papers. 1t was his pur-
pose to keep up the fight which he had
begun in 1898 until the peoples rights
we're restored to them, and the South
ern railway was forced to abandon the
state capitol and the halls Of legisla-
ton.
Where Was Smith in Query Campaign?
Although Hoke Smith was now clam
oring for reform and trying to make
the people believe that he (Smith) was
the only true refOrmer, he would like
to know what crowd Smith ganged
with when Query made the race for
governor two years ago upon precise
ly the same platform? Smith was
standing with the candidate of the
liuuor crowd, and stayed with him I'M
til the last vote had been counted.
IL was all right for Smith to support
Terrell for governor if he considered
Terrell the best man for the place, but
it was not right for him to now fight
Terrell's administration and make
this a pretext for asking support OF
prohibitionists upon the theory that
he is himself a prOhibitionist.
Mr.. Smith alluded to him the other
day as one of the greatest men in the
state. This pretty speech sounded
very pleasant, of course, but it hadn't
been very long ago when it was Gus
tomary to refer to him decisively as
an anarchist, kicker, old Joe Hill
Hall. etc. But he was not to be be-
guiled by fattery, or disconnected
from his main object, which was to
aid in re-establishing the people in
their rights, and with Gods help he
would do it. When he had been
struggling before the legislature for
the very reforms which Smith and
Howell are now advocating he got no
help from either of them; when he was
nigh to fainting on the highway Meth
er of them had come forward to offer
him a cup of cold water.
RidicuIes Negro Disfranchisement
He ridiculed the negro disfranchise.-
ment plank in Smiths platform, and
said the negro was already practically
disfranchised in Georgia; that the
man who advocated negro disfran-
chisement now was an enemy to the
best interests of the commonwealth.
He had heard a good deal of talk
about the Smith band wagon and the
Howell band wagon and the Russell
band wagon. Yes. he had heard OF
band wagons before. There was the
Guerry band wagon in 1902, and he

Among the many services which are

is perhaps none that brings so much
brightness as those conducted at st.
PauPs pro-cathedral parish hall for
deaf mutes, by deaf mute.

the man who brings messages of en-
couragement to a congregation of from
thirty to fifty men and women every
Sunday afternoon and his only means
Of communication to them is through

Deaf mutes of all denominations
gather there and from the expression
on the faces of many 1t can be learned
that oratory does not necessarily come
from the lips.
The work carried on by Mr.. Widd
includes not only the holding of SER
Vices, for his whole time is devoted
to ministerlng to the deaf mutes in
Los Angeles. The sick are visited and
cared for and work Is obtained for
those in need of 1t. Thomas Widd is
an Englishman and has been deaf from
boyhood. He was married to deaf
mute and Mrs. Widd assists in the

Los ANGELES To
Be SUPPLY DEPOT.
DISTRIBUTING POINT FOR THE
MINING COUNTRY
New Branch of Salt Lake Road to
Goldfleld Expected to Prove of
Great Benefit to State
of California

j. E. Platter, vice president of the
Los Angeles Savings bank, has had
extensive experience in operating min
ing properties. He does not believe
that the extension of the Salt Lake
railroad from Las Vegas into the Gold
field region will result in the, building
and operation of smelters in Los An
geles. why should the smelters be
constructed here?' asked Mr.. Platter
"There Is no need of doing so, for the
fuel can be taken to the gold section
much better. Los Angeles will certain
ly be big depot of supplies for the
smelters that may be operated in the
mountain towns
Wilbur o. Dow, an engineer, who has
travelled all over the Pacific slope
states, does not think that the Salt
Lake company has decided wisely in
selecting Las Vegas for the diverting
point. II would start from Daggett or
Soda" said Mr.. Dow, land then
much richer and a section of greater
extent could be tapped. But Las We
gas has it's advantages in the way of
catching the eastern business. The
time is coming when one or more big
smelters will be established in Los
Angeles. 1 have always thought so,
but it will take $25O,OOO to rig up a
proper smelter to handle all grades of
ore. With the Goldfield section open by
rail to Los Angeles times would be de-
cidedly lively, and all Southern Cali
fornia would profit in many ways by
the improvement.
New towns would spring up, more
people would require supplies, and Los
Angeles would be the big depot of sup
plies for the mining camps and the
towns over in Nevada. In my opinion
Nevada will soon fill up with popula-
tion. 1t Is one of the few states left
that has all the freedom of the old
western states-the mecca of the sport
ing and gambling element, a section of
the country where everything Is safe
from the depreciation of thieves and
robbers, for the reason that no man
dare take that which is not his own,
for If he does he will swing for it."

EXPERTS SAY BALLERlN0
WAS NOT 0VERCHARGED
Attorney Hutchison's Bill for Six
Thousand Dollars Is Not Deemed
Exorbitant

F,xpert testimony was introduced yes
terday in the trial of the civil ac-
ton for $4,000 attorneys fees, brought
by Attorney e. l.. Hutchinson against
Bartolo Ballerino, the ex-crib king,
which is now going on before Judge
Trask in the superior court.
The plaintiff asks the jury to award
him 5000 for professional services al
legged to have been rendered during the
past two years, and in bill of par
ticulars filed in connection with the
suit the services alleged to have been
rendered are specified with eXactness.
A number of witnesses We're exam
ined yesterday morning relative to the
rendition of services in connection with
the fight to save the cribs a number
of years ago.
Attorney Earl Rogers was the first
witness called by the plaintiff. With
the exception of two items. Attorney
Rogers estimated the services rendered
to be worth at least $9250.
Attorney Will ID. Gould estimated
that the entire services were worth
$9975, while the minimum estimate
given by Attorney j. d. Rush was
$4,000.
Attorney Frank G. Finlayson figured
that the services alleged to have been
rendered were worth about $1,000.
The trial will occupy the attention
of the court for several days, as a large
number of expert witnesses have been
summoned to appear.
