ALL WOMEN ARE BEAUTIFUL
Tastes Are Divergent and All Types
Admired
from the Now York World

From the Now York World.
1t is conceivable that circumstances
might arise under which it would be
pardonable, though not proper, to men,
ton to a lady that her brother had
been lynched for horse stealing. Under
sufficient provocaton one might even
be forgiven for implying that the
casque of Minerva covered more wis
dom than her own carefully fiuted POM
padour. But tell her that she is not
beautiful? Never, while there is an
atom of chivalry In the human breast.
TO be beautiful is the supreme desire
of the feminine heart, the ultimate aim
of her existence. And when she has
devoted days, months and years to ac-
complishing the purpose, there should
be no man brute enough to intimate
that she has failed.
Besides, how can any one man decide
what is or is not beautiful? There are
just as many standards of beauty as
there are men and women. Savages
have a decided preference for high
cheek bones and hattened noses, the
Mongolian race for saffron complexions
and slanted eyes. Even among civilized
races there could not be two things
more widely divergent than the popular
and artistic standard of beauty-the
one round, rosy, ebulient, the other
long, languorous and none too well fed.
1t matters not how beautiful stage
favorite may be- when she faces new
audience for the first time there Will
always be found persons who will go
away declaring that they don't UNDER
stand what the public sees in her to
rave over. And they will be thoroughly
sincere in their bewilderment.
On the other hand, there is scarcely a
newly-made chorus girl too green or
gawky to attract favorable attention
from one or two persons in the house.
Could there be a greater difference
than that which exists between the
ideals of men and women, the former
! admiring en- masse, the latter in detail.
There is no absolute standard of beau
ty. That offense is merely the standard
of regularity which may of course be
co-existent with beauty, but is by no
means necessary to it,
Surely tastes are divergent enough
! for every woman to be considered
beautiful by some one besides herself.

BY Associated Press
REDDING. Jan. t2-'fWe men robbed
the Hotel Keswick early this morning
of sl677 IN cash and $500 in checks
There is no clue to the identity of the
robbers. The Hotel KeswiclI is i'm the
center of the town of Keswick, five
miles from here. Two ineh of the same
height, one stout and one thin. both
musked with pieces of a knit under
shirt, one carrying a rifle, the other a
revolver entered the rear door of the
barroom about 1 o'clock. ]. r. May
field was behind the bar. just as tbs
robbers ordered him to throw up his
hands the rifle in the hands of the
stout robber was discharged and the
bullet struck dangerously near to
Mayfield.
j. N. Stephenson. the landlord, had
just left the office, adjoining the bar
room, TO go upstairs and retire for the
night when he heard the rife shot an1
came downstairs, only to confront the
thin robber and a pistol. Stephenson
could not believe that the robbers We're
in earnest and had to be ordered three
times to hold up his hands before he
complied. The robbers took S37 from
the cash register of the barroom and
searched the two men, taking a gold
watch from each Then they demand
ed the keys of the safe. They had al
ready taken them from Stephenson
,vbap tbav coarcbad hin, b,,t did ma
know it. Stephenson told them the
keys were in his room upstairs. The
stout robber started to march him to
his room after the keys.
Stephenson hoped to overpower him,
once they were in the room, but the
bandit seemed to divine the landlord s
purpose. for, when the bedroom door
was reached he said, "Oh, 1 guess
We'll try those keys we took from
YOU" and marched him down stairs
again.
The keys opened the safe. from
which was taken $500 in checks, $40 in
coin belonging to Landlord Stephenson
and $1,000 In coin belonging to dodgers
who had money on deposit in the hotel
safe. The robbers also took all the
documents in the safe. Then they
marched the two men out OF the front
door, down the main street, nearly to
the smelter, through a barbed wire
fence, over the hills to the Clara mine,
the men were released after Stephen
SON had asked for and received his
watch.

MORTON WRITES
On RATE MATTER
SECRETARY OF NAVY TALKS
OF RAILWAY MATTERS
He Declares Federal Supervision Is
Necessary, but That Regulation
and Protection Should co
Together
BY Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Paul Nor
ton, secretary Of the navy and formerly
vice president of the Atchison. Topeka
and Santa Fe Railroad company, is
the author of an article on the railway
rate question which will be published
in the outlook tomorrow. He in the
outset expressly disclaims writing as
a representative of President Rooso-
velt's administration and says he
speaks merely as one with somewhat
extensive experience pertinent to an
important subject.
The secretary in the article says
there are very few complaints against
railroad rates per Sc in the United
States, the chief trouble being with
''the relation Of rates as between mar
kets." He says there are as many rates
that are too low as there are rates
which a court would decide to be too
high, and that either class of rates
may be equally disastrous to commune
ties
He expresses the opinion that feder-
al supervision of railroads is necessary
but adds that regulation and protec-
tion should go together. He says that
one of three things following is sure
to take place in the conduct of our
railways:
First-Legalization of pools-the
able contracts between themselves as
to a division of earnings so that they
can resist the temptations of big ship
pers and be assured a fair share of the
business moving at stable rates which
shall apply alike to all patrons.
Unfication of Ownership
Second-The further unification of
ownership, thereby delivering in time
the entire railway ownership of the
country in the hands of a few individ-
uals or one syndicate.
Third-Government ownership, the
worst of the three evils" if such they
may be called.
In the. opinion of Mr.. Morton, govern
ment ownership of our railroads would
be the beginning of industrial and po-
litcal chaos.
He rather favors the first proposition,
with adequate provision to assure rates
being reasonable.
AS to pending rates, he favors the
continuance of the interstate commerce
commission in substantially its present
form, saying:
LET it go on making Investigations
and findings. If it finds a rate is un-
reasonable (either too high or too low,
everything else being considered) let
it order such rates as it deems rea-
sonable, and if the railroads do not
make them effective in thirty days,
then the entire matter to be referred to
a central court of transportation of,
say, three or five members, to be ere
ated to consider especially and eXpe-
dlte all questions of interstate COM
merce so far as the transportation of
the country is concerned, it being un-
derstood that this central court shall
have power to adjudicate in all such
cases except those involving consttu-
tional questions and the findings Of
this court in interstate matters to be
final"

Helena, Oct. 17.-State Treasurer J.
H. Rice was advised today by former
Gov B. F. White, of Dillon, that he
would within a short time enjoin pay

rants and bonds. Governor White is
member of the board of trustees of the
State Normal school, whose bond issue
of $4,000 authorized by the recent leg
islature, was declared illegal in an
well as other bonds to the amount of
opinion by Attorney General Galen. as
$495, 900. These bonds had been taken
over by the state, and new buildings
are being constructed at Dillon with
the proceeds of the sale. Since the
opinion of the attorney general, the
treasurer has refused payment Of all

DISMISSING APPEAL.

Hodgdon from the judgment of JUS
tice of the Peace w. T. Mcfarland
was annulled by the supreme court
this week, and the somewhat noted
action will now come up for trial on
its merits in the district court.
Hodgdon, 1t will be remembered, was
arrested for selling buggies without
securing the license required under
the law. $500. He had hearing be-
fore the justice, was convicted, and
in this particular case was fined $50
and costs.
Filled Certified Check.
From this he appealed, filing Ger.
titled check in double the amount
thereof This appeal was dismissed
by the district court on the ground
that an undertaking had not been
filed. The supreme court opinion
holds that it is not necessary to give
bond in apepaling misdemeanor
case, and therefore annuls the action
of the lower court. which will have
the effect Of placing HOdgdon's case
on the Fergus county docket as an
appeal from the Justices decision.

Miss Alice Must Pay the Regular D,
ties at San Francisco.

Miss Alice Must Pay the Regular Du.
ties at San Francisco.
Chicago, Oct. ia dispatch to the
Record-Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Shaw and the collector of
the port Of San Francisco have had a
load of trouble for several weeks about
which the public has known nothing
and it was lifted yesterday when the
secretary was told by President Roose-
welt to collect the legal duty on all
dutiable articles brought back to this
country by Miss Alice Roosevelt. The
total of the duty is expected to reach
nearly 100000.
The daughter of the president has
received during her trip to the Philip
pines, China, Japan and Korea many
pretty and some quite valuable pres.
ents. Some of the customs officials
suggested that Miss Roosevelt ought
to be allowed to bring the valuables
in duty-free, inasmuch as she was
treated with all the honors of prin.
cess and did much to cement friend.
ship between the United States and
foreign countries. The belongings OF
crowned heads, of royalty and of dip
lomats are thus admitted free of duty
into the United States. Secretary
Shaw received suggestions until he
was almost sick. All that stood out
before his official gaze was that the
presents had been reported as worth
probably 100000 and If the usual rate
of duty was imposed it would cost Miss
Roosevelt or her father upwards of &C
per cent, or 100000. Neither Miss
Roosevelt nor her father is rich, al
though the young woman is under
stood to have a modest fortune in hel
own right.
Finally Secretary Shaw took his bur
den to the pesident and told him
abobut it.
There is only one thing to do," re
piled the president. "That is to treat
my daughters baggage as you would
the baggage of any other private per
son. She will pay duty on everything
that is dutiable."
