Identifying as cases Of wife-beating as
saults in which the aggressor has been q
man and the victim woman OF the same
name. This method leaves much to be- de-
sired for accuracy. II Is a well recognized
fact in police circles that IN the social
class which furnishes the great majority
of these cases for the courts consideration
the same name often occurs between men
and women who are not bound by marital
ties The chances of error are indefinitely
multiplied.
Furthermore 1t is also well understood
by the police that many of these charges
by wives of assaults upon them are inspired
by spite The law does not require the
complaining woman to show a wound or a
bruise. Her assertion that she has been
struck by her husband suffices Considering
the social status of most of the complain
ants it is easy to understand that many
of the 595 wife assauants convicted in hve
years in this District are themselves VIC
Tins of rnalevolent enterprise by vindictive
or unfaithful wives, or have merely actea
in self-defense in the course of family
rows induced by liquor.
If the whipping post is to be imposed
upon Washington in direct consequence OF
an alleged prevalence of wife-beating in
this community, the precaution should
certainly be taken to ascertain whether tae
offense is especially prevalent here, in what
degree and in what circumstances. Before
the bill to that end is seriously considered
there should be a period of scientific obser-
walton, which will show precisely how many
cases of marital brutality do occur, their
grade and the character of the Offenders
and victims. There is assuredly nothing
statistical now at hand on which to base
Judgment, unless it be emphatically against
the introduction of an obsolete and discred-
tied punishment.

If the Power Were Shut Of
From the Philadelphia Record.

BY way of emphasizing the value of adj
vertising an enthusiast asks: did you ever
stop to think what would happen If every
form OF advertising In the United States
should be prohibited for ninety days?'' IN
side of half that time the mills and manu-
factories would stop for lack OF orders: the
almost empty stores would close their
doors; millions of people and millions 81
capital would be thrown out OF employment
and this country would be overwhelmed by
the greatest financial and Industrial panic Il
has ever known. 1t Is the tremendous pow

Prices the Same.

From the Baltimore Sun
1t is to be hoped that the action of the
Supreme Court will afford the public some
relief, at least from the exactions of the
meat monopoly. although this is problem
atical at best. The injunction issued by the
federal court in Chicago in 1903 has not
prevented advances in the price of meats
harded by the trust.

Prize fighters are as prodical as

The poor defense shown by Iowa

The free-for-all fight between play

the sport immense harm. While the

dragging the offending player behind

til blood spurted from his face was in
eXcusable. When college sport takes

PRESENT SHOPS OF PEcos VAL

ACRES OF GROUND.

A special dispatch from Amarillo,
Texas, dated October 10, says:
There is no longer any doubt of the
intention of the Santa Fe railway
company to extend the gulf lines from
Brentwood to Texico, from which
point the main line is now being con-
structed for connection with Albu-
querque.
the material for the work is being
FASTENED to TeXico as well as Brown
wood, and a further extension of the
system from Canyon City to Lubbock,
where the Gulf extension will be tap
ped, is assured. The present shops
of the Pecos Valley lines in this city
will be rebuilt, to cover with yardage,
forty acres, and will give employment
to 1000 or 1900 men. Double-header
trains of steel and ties are, of daily oc-
currence out of Amarillo to Texico.
The Pecos Valley road is to be en-
tirely rebuilt and put into condition to
carry the fast transcontinental passen-
ger, express and freight service.
The entire line of the Fort Worth
& Denver road is being relaid with
seventy-five pound steel, and concrete
abutments are being put in for all
bridges and abutments. Hundreds of
laborers are doing this work. The
new steel is being laid inside the old
rails and connected up, and when en-
tire sections of track, a mile or more
in length ale unspiked and showed out
on the right of way, the new steel is
then spiked into place without delay
ing traffic in any way.
The work is being done under the
direct supervision of General Superin-
tendent G. F. Cotter, formerly super
intendent of the Colorado & South
ern at Trinidad.

WHERE SUNNYSIDE is
AND WHY IT'S THERE,

Sunnyside is situated on the east
banks of the beautiful Pecos river,
nine miles northeast Of old Fort Sum-
ner, in Guadalupe county, New Mex
leo, says the Sun. The incentive for
the creation of a town at this point
was caused mainly by the building OF
the Belen cut off branch of the Santa
Fe railroad. Here the railroad crosses
the Pecos river, and here it is that
the railroad company will build the
big iron bridge; to cost not less than
half a million dollars. Here it is that
the topography, both on the surface
and below, changes. The east side of
the Pecos, with its rich valleys, and
beautiful, verdant prairies, is noted
in Spanish history, as the land of
"Pura aqua" (pure water), while on
the west banks the conditions are not
SO favorable. The town of Sunnyside
derived its name from the noted Sun
nyside springs, located two miles
northeast of town.
