Dangerous Obstruction Repair vCrk lately done Jn Naco Road has much improved that thoroughfare. However, the worlmen employed left large boulder sticking up in the middle of the roadway below the slag dump which Is a threat to the safety Of those having occasion to use the road. If this obstruction should be blasted out the highway would be left in the best shape it has ever known.

Wife Deserters.

In another part of The Star today appears
a letter from Mr.. William H BALDWIN on
the subject of the desertion of wives ana
families and the state of the law ana the
practice in regard to their extradition. II
appears that misunderstanding preVaiis
today to a very large extent on TINS score

ofense Of desertion to be formally ciasseo
as felony in order to secure the return VI

pei him to provide properly for those de-
pendent upon him. AS matter or 1act, IL
is pointed out by Mr.. Baldwin, VINO mas
made a careful and exhaustive study of the
subject the contrary is the case, the OF
tense being now classed in a great majority
of the states as a misdemeanor, being as
such extraditable under the common prac-
tice of state authorities. To reinforce TINS
belief inquiry has been made OF many OF
the state authorities, with the result OF
virtually uniform response that family De
serters WILL upon requisftion, be promptly
extradited on the ground that the offense Is
a msdemeanor.
The process of punishment and cure is
greatly facilitated by this understanding
between the state authorities. While 1t is
of legislative disapproval should be put
upon the crime in terms making 1t felony.
and proportionately punishable as such, II
is at the same time undesirable that 1t be
taken distinctly out Of the misdemeanor
class in which II Is much more easily
handled by the prosecuting and reforma-
tory officers. AS misdemeanor case OF
wife desertion can be carried promptly into
the police courts and warrants and reQuisi-
tons can be issued without delay when the
husband fees beyond the Jurisdiction As a
felony the case must be carried to the grand
Jury and the higher courts before 1t is pos
sible to secure the return of the fugitive.
The prime object Of pursuit In such cases
is to force the husband to make provision
for the deserted wife and children Punish
ment is to be regarded solely as deterrent.
and consequently Is the secondary purpose.
To the extent that state authorities CO.
operate in securing the extradition of fugi-
tive husbands the crime will be lessened 1t
Is reassuring that the matter has been so
intelIigently and earnestly taken up for
study and action by the organizations and
individuals engaged in sociological reforms,
and 1t is possible that with proper legisla-
tive action in the few states where the laws
remain inadequate. perhaps too severe.
this evil, which of late years has been
mounting to disquieting proportions. will be
reduced to a low point. There Is no more
despicable wretch living than the man who
deliberately abandons those whom he has
pledged himself before all the world to love,
cherish and support. and his punishment
should be swift and sure and severe.

Doctor ConbeS.

There IL something attractive In the an
nouncement that NJ. Combes. recently
premier of France. has returned to the
practice of medicine IN his native village.
He should enjoy life there. and do a world
OF good. He should not want for patients.
Younger men. 1t is true. and such as have
not gone off after strange gods. may be
nearer the line in professional work and
study. but there will be a magnet about SO
eminent a man as DR.. Combes which will
draw business. Great respect will be paid
to his opinions. and his doses will probably
be swallowed without a murmur.
We are sometimes told that the spirit of
true democracy is not to be found In
France: that what passes for democracy
there Is not the real article. but a compro-
mise between monarchy and socialism Men
who. In the American phrase. cannot Ego
the whole hog as to royalty. or as to a
common purse and table. subscribe to the
prevailing form of government and call 1t
republic. 1t Is this appraisement of the
situation which accounts for the frequent
prediction that France will sooner or later
return to monarchical forms.
But DIR. Combes undoubtedly Is a dana
crat. This step of his for it's simplicity
and dignity has never been surpassed even
among US: and surely if democracy exists

choice or the fckleness of fortune and
take up everyday duties again. Many in

afford pictures Of much impresslveness
When young DIR. Combes abandoned his
profession for politics he must have had
large visions and yearnings for excite
ment. The rounds of a village physician
were much too tame. He has had his ex-
pertence now and returns to the tame
things. He Is In tanner mood After
ministeriag to the diseases OF the state he
will minister once more to the diseases of

"Fads and Fancies."

There will be little sympathy for inc So
clety men and women of New York who
have been bitten by the blackmailers whose
crooked work Is now coming to light
Honest newspapers will all rejoice In the
exposure OF both the swindlers and the vic
Tins. the former because these proceedings
will help to check one of the : meanest
games practiced by men. and the latter
because the telling of these tales In public
will stiffen the backs of the weak ones who
help the graft game along by their fear of
publicity.
The enterprise Is not new one. 1t has
been practiced in one form or another In

Buying Beauty.

A beauty Doctor was arrested In New
York yesterday. charged with the extor-
ton of money from patients. the complain
ant being woman whom he had promised
to render beautiful by treatment. charging
her big fees and producing only a series of
ugly scars on her face. Other complaints
have been filed against the accused man
and lively time may ensue as his disap-
pointed patients troop to court to tell their
tales of woe.
Here opens vista of legal difficulties.
There is no absolute standard of beauty.
Who Is to judge of the results of a face
manipulators efforts? Is the average jury
man to be depended upon to render an
opinion? Must the discouraged patient
show scars that she did not bear before
she consulted the wizard. in order to re-
gain her money or secure a conviction? Are
the men in the box to be confronted with
photographs before and after taking =?
Are these mere men, with tastes differing
from the extremely short to the extremely
tall from the very thin to the very stout,
from the pronounced brunette to the pro-
nounced blonde, from the retrousse to the
Grecian nose from the low brow to the
classic forehead, from the shell-like ear to
the generous aural appendage-are these
frail and tickle judges of comeliness to de-
eide whether the beauty doctor has done
his work according to specifications or not
And the case inspires other thoughts.
This man, it Is claimed, has made some
thing like $1,000 IN the course of three
or four years. Are the women of today so
thoroughly dissatisfied with their natural
looks as this sum indicates? 1t Is declared
by some male cynics that there Is not
more than one woman In fifty who Is sin
cerely content with her own natural make
up, and this New York case seems to go
to prove the point. The tall ones sigh to
be short and the stout ones bant. while the
thin ones seek fattening foods The dealer
in cosmetics could tell an entertaining tale,
It is whispered. that would serve to show
how heartily Dame Nature Is disliked for
her works.
And yet. and yet-well, poets sing OF wo-
mans loneliness and all the world wor-
ships her. whatever may be her style.
Strange contrast. though. between this
modern instance Of expensive beauty-seek-
ing and the sentiment thus framed four
centuries ago by Chapman:
Exceeding fair she was not: and yet fair
In that She never studied to be fairer
Than Nature made her: beauty cost her
nothing.
Her virtues were go rare"

We can now understand how Depew could

ton.
From the wheeling Intelligencer.
No wonder Senator Chauncey Depew
made a reputation as humorist. With MS
$40. eco annual retainer. not to speak OF
other fat pickings, the Equitable treasury
was sufficient to keep him in good spirits.

invitations for Chauncey will show de-
cided slump.
From the Chicago Record Herald.
II looks as II somebody were trying to
spoil Chauncey Depew's vacation.
From the Boston Advertiser.
Another brand of Depew humor falls fiat.
The senator's actin borrowing 100000 from
ths F.alitab.e on property valued at only
100000 and his failure to pay either prin-
ctpal or interest will fail to draw applause
from the policyholders Who have had TO
nav the bills. The motive of the famous
|simnassioned Depew appeal to the directors
OF the Equitable to wash the company S
linen in private, not in public. may have
been all the more impassioned. because
some of the linen bore the Depew mark.
From, the ST Louis Glehe- Defiocrat.
Mr.. Depew says whenever the Equitable
asked him for advice 1T was freely given.
but the evidence discloses that II was well
