 BY MARGARET F. SANGSTER. fCopyright. 1908 by Josepr B. Bowles)
 Women and men are not natural enemies, they are not set over against one another in opposing camps. On the contrary, their inter ests meet and mingle. and such thing as conflict and antagonism based on the score of sex is supremely ab- surd
 Yet we constantly hear the assertion made that women should not enter certain professional vacations lest their presence should crowd out men who have secured the right of way, and by tradition and training are es- tablished in their callings. The same objection has been urged times with out number against women in busi- ness, the feeling being that there is an unfairness to men in the ease and fa- cility with which women slip into po- sitions hitherto filled by their fathers and brothers.
 As everybody knows, there are lines of wark peculiarly adapted to wom ans quick wit, quick sympathy and mental culture. Very few men choose teaching as a profession. Thousands of women turn to the education of the young as their proper sphere Our public schools enlist an army of splen- Mildly endowed and fully equipped young women who fill every require- ment from the high school to the kind ergarten, throughout all grades inrlud- ing not only the most difficult and ab- struse scientific and intellectual stud ies, but as we'll the domestic and man. ual training that are now insisted up- on as necessary.
 Here and there one finds man or two engaged in special work and the superintendents and principals are usu- ~f1 ha1t a haQalIGN 11- en have crowded men out, but be- cause men have never monopolized this avenue They have not sought nor cared for it. Very unfairly, when ever they do enter this particular field, they ask and receive larger sal aries than women for precisely the same work. Where woman thank fully accepts from $500 to $1,200 a year for her services as principal of a school. a man doing perhaps less work. receives from $1.500 to $1.S00 as an annual salary. It might perhaps true that the possibility of getting good work for less money here acts as factor in the employment of women rather than of men, but the truth is that the average man prefers to put his talents to almost any other use than that of teaching. He is not sufficiently patient sufficiently unsel- fish, and sufficiently fond of children to like this day by day task of guid- ing the next generation in the way it should go. There is no reason to re- gret the numerical superiority of women as leaders in the schoolroom.

Horse stolen is Rounded Up After
 Chase of Nineteen Miles. Joliet, Ill, special.
 Bulky, horse thief was caught yes- terday by c. E. Rogers, Montana horse trader, through the use of a trained mare who, like a bloodhound, took the scent of the stolen animal and led the owner direct to him.
 Rogers with herd of sixty horses was camping near the drainage chan mel in Lockport, when he and his men were aroused early Sunday morning by uneasiness among the hores. With a shout that he would soon have the thief, he mounted the mare which promptly tok the scent. For nineteen miles they went west, and finally the thief and the horse were sighted. Zulkey, the thief is II years of age and lives near Lockport.
 Rogers is on his way to Chicago Heights. He fairly worships the trained mare. which was brought up for the purpose of scenting stolen and strayed horses.

FIGHT MAIL ORDER HOUSES.
Retail Merchants of Middle West Will
Organize.

Des Moines, Jan. 25.-Many retail
merchants from different parts of the
Middle West are in session here for
the purpose of organizing a Retail
Merchants association to cope with
the mail order house competition,
which they claim is almost exter-
minating them In this section.
1t is expected that the merchants
will perfect an organization along the
lines suggested by w. H. Gertner OF
Pennington, la. His plan is to organ
lie the merchants of ten states, who
shall pay a membership fee of s.
each. When this organization is per-
fected a corporation is to be formed
and stock sold at $1,000 share.
With this money wholesale house is
to be opened in Chicago, through
which the output of many Eastern fac
tories will be handled just as cheap
ly as the goods OF the large mail order
houses.
Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois,
Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska
and South Dakota will be the first
states to be organized.

FOR REGULATION OF RATES
HOUSE COMMITTEE FAvORABLf
REPORTS BILL BY UNANl-
NOUS VOTE.

Washington, Jan. 25.-The house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce has agreed upon rate bill
to be known as the Hepburn bill, to
be reported to the house with the
unanimous recommendation Of the
eighteen members OF the committee.
In the main the bill is the original
Hepburn bill, but number Of conces-
sions were made to the Democrats
and their ideas as set forth in the
Davey bill were freely incorporated In
the perfected measure.
The fact that the Hepburn bill, in
substantially the form in which 1t will
go to the house, is the Dolliver-Clapp
bill pending In the senate committee
shows how near together the leaders
In both houses have come to be on
this great question.
This bill upon which the representa-
tives of both parties In the house have
united contains in effect practically
all the provisions President Roosevelt
has sought to have enacted into law
as q solution of the railway rate ques-
tiOn.
In essence the bill empowers the
interstate commerce commission, on
hearing, after q complaint Is made. to
fix a reasonable maximum rate. The
private car and terminal questions are
thoroughly covered. The commission
is to be composed Of seven members.
Provision Is made for test OF the
legality Of the commissions rates In
the courts.
Mr.. Hepburn and the other Repub-
licans agreed to accept the wording q
the Democratic bill In the provision
for the fixing of the maximum rate.
The amendment provides that the
commission shall Ak lust, reason
able and fairly remunerative rate,
which shall be the maximum rate"

Committees Work.

Washington, Jan. 25.--The commit
tee on judiciary in the house will soon
take up for consideration various bills
that have been offered repeating the
federal bankruptcy law, The commit
tee In the last congress by narrow
majority reported bill repeating the
bankruptcy act and as there has been
practically no change E.he personnel
of the committee, unless there has
been change In sentiment, it is rea-
sonable to assume that such bill
would again be reported favorably.
Representative Jenkins, chairman
of the committee, says the insurance
question is soon to be given considera-
tion by the full committee, the object
being to demonstrate what can be
done along the line Of recommends
tions by President Roosevelt in his
annual message favorable to national
supervision and control OF insurance.

Chicago, Jan. 25.-District Attorney
Morrison continued his statement to
the jury in the packers case during
the day. Mr.. Morrison declared that
the packers are not entitled to i'm
munity because they did not claim 1t
at the time Commissioners Garfield
was conducting his investigation into
the beef packing industry and were
not sworn when they gave evidence.
District Attorney Morrison then de-
clared that he wished the jury to dis
regard the fact that many of the de-
PENDANTS in the case are men of wealth
and position.
1--WE are not prosecuting these men
because they are rich," he said. THE
government admires rich man who
has profited honestly. A man like Mar
shall Field, who was buried while the
attorneys for the defense were telling
of the honest money made by these
packers, commands the admiration OF
the nation. It Is the man with tainted
money that the government Is after"
