Gates complete overt brow of the
prevalent order
1t is a farseeiug appreciation of
these facts that led President
Roosevelt to insist on the necessity
OF rcmcdying the evils which are
50 apparent under the present
system. He has seen. apparently
far in advance of his contemporary
les, that the uncontrolled rapacitv
of the railroads must inevitably
lead TO socialism in more or less
aggravated form: that the greed Of
the trusts would send men to the
opposite extreme, where they would
seek to ignore the rights of prop
crty and destroy the results which
men have gained by years of legiti-
mate industry The all important
question of the present is: Will
other leaders of the republican
party have the sagacity To perceive
the Significance of the growth OF
socialism and will they. so percciv-
ing. lay the axe TO the root of the
evil by Graduating those abuses
which are not the product but ex-
crcscenes on a republican form of
government?
That proper control of capital.

Fin. openlno for Criminals.

There is evidently fine opening
for criminals in the French penal
colony of New Caledonia, in the west
Pacific. Residents Of that island who
are in business or following agricul-
tural pursuits have addressed petit
ton to the colonial minister, M Gle
mentel, asking him to send them out
more convicts The colonists OF New
Caledonia were formerly of differ
ent opinion as to the value Of con-
yicts, for they once asked the gov
eminent not to transport all the penal
servitude prisoners to their island
Consequently fewer convicts were dis
patched there Of late years. and now
the colonists find that they can not
do without help Of the condemned
criminals, whom they are. In fact.

woman's Kingdom saerifieed.

We have somewhere seen it assert
ed that the women who have done
the most to move the world for good
were the women with natural.sized
waists. We do not doubt the truth of
this. Deep breathing has much to do
with deep thinking; a CONSTRUCTED
waist means small vital capacity; a
natural waist means large vital ca
pacity, and consequent ability of
healthful, vigorous life and action.
Said Miss Frances Willard, in one OF
her addresses:
BE it remembered that until woman
comes to her kingdom physically. she
will never really come at all. Created
to be well and strong and beautiful,
she long ago sacrificed her constitu-
ticn, and has ever since been living
on her bylaws. She has made Of her
self an hourglass. whose sands of life
passed quickly by. She has walked
when she should have run, sat when
she should have walked. reclIned when
she should have sat.
"She has allowed herself to become
q mere lay figure upon which could
be fastened any lump or hoop or
farthingale that fa:hion mongers
show; and ofttimes her head is mere
rotary ball. upon which milliners
perch whatever they please-be it bird
Of paradise or beast or creeping thing.
"She has bedraggled her senseless
long skirts in whatever combination
Of filth the streets presented, submit
ting to motion the most awkward
and degrading known to the entire
animal kingdom; for nature has en-
dowed all others that carry trains
and tails with tho power Of lifting

Investigations OF Scientists Seem to
PROVE Man Inferior.
Some interesting biological and
sociological facts have lately been
published about women which are cal
culated to exalt the ostensibly weaker
sex in its own eyes and also in those
of men. We have previously pointed
out the conclusion reached by certain
scientists that the average life OF
woman should, and under normal 'cif-
cumstances would. exceed slightly the
average life of man IN respect OF dura-
tion. Now comes an English biolo-
gist, T. H. Montgomery, who. after q
general review of the data presented
by the anatomy and evolution of vari-
GUS invertebrate and vertebrate AMI
mails, maintains that the male is less
developed and more embryonic than
the female. So far 'Rs the fnverte-
brates and the lower vertebrates are
concerned, the female lis clearly supe-
rior. When, within this field OF OBJ
servation, one sex is found to be rudi-
mentary in comparison with the other,
it is pointed out that this Is almost
always the male. In size the female
is usually the superior.-Harpers
