AIRS. Frank n. Kirby OF Meriden.
Conn, will beconsidered either a martyr
or fool, according to the sex OF the person
who discusses her and her conduct Her
husband is the local manager OF the stand
ard Oil company. His position is respon-
sible and hard. He has to work many
nights, and so he cannot pay his wife the
attention he did before marriage when he
turned down the gas in the front parlor
six nights in every week, with high score
Of seven out OF a possible seven, once or
twice a month. Mrs Kirby resented this
business activity so much that she took
carbolic acid the other night and nearly
settled the whole matter herself
Her act will start again the external
question between the sexes-whether 1t is
better simply to tell a woman you love her
or to keep silent and show II.
Women, TO a unit, prefer the first method.
1t suits their emotional natures better.
Anyone who can dodge teacups easily
needn't mind adding that it better soothes
their vanity. They love to be told Of their
beauty and their fascination 1t is a finer
exhibit of husbandry affection in many a
girls eyes than the sight OF a young man
Shaving long and hard-and willingly, too
TO put all possible pleasure in her life.
Many men are accused of money-grubbing
because they grind and make hard bargains.
Their desire, generally speaking, is to have
money to spend on their families. Part
may be personal vanity, part the result OF
business rivalry. But the basic cause OF
this undue energy is affection. 1t springs
from that fond protection which II Is the
glory Of good men to give and good women
to receive.
Mrs. Kirby Is bride and one OF exceed
ing foolishness. A seasoned wife, under
Outstanding mans nature from long and
loving association with him and knowing
that he must show his love in his own way,
would see in the excessive industry Of Mr..
Kirby the highest proof of his affection.
She would deplore the fact that he had
TO be away from her so much, but no
more than he would lament the loss OF
her society.
II is easy to tell a woman that you love
her and to keep on doing so till the crack
O. doom. That only wiggles the end of the
tongue. But true affection calls the
muscles into play and tires them and makes
exhausting drafts on the brain.
The wise woman knows this and rejoices
that she can inspire love so sincere and
so strong. The foolish one doesn't deserve
an industrious husband She might marry
drone and take in washing to support
him

Posthumous Assessment,
Springfield Republican.

SpflnBneld hepuDllcah..
While the Chicago taxing authorities did
not dare assess Marshall Field on more
than a. small fraction of his personal prop
erty, in fear that he would change his
residence, they now proceed to even up
matters a little by collecting taxes seven
years back on so much of the estate as
should have paid and evaded payment The
great merchant cannot now change his
residence; that has become pretty defin-
itely fixed, so far as this world is con-
cerned. It is thus not particularly coura-
geous performance on the part of the tax
ing board, whatever may be said of the
equities of the case. The estate will ac-
cordingly be "soaked" this year to the ex-
tent Of s2,sOO,OOO in taxes, or more than
the whole amount of the personal prop
erty on which Mr.. Field consented to pay
taxes while living 1t is now reckoned that
his estate is worth some S1sOOOO,OOO.

According TO the report of the city
engineer, Omaha's municipal asphalt
repair plant is making good on the
financial side of the account as we'll as

bad places in the pavement being re-
paired with reasonable promptness,
but the cost to the city has been re-
duced to approximately so cents a
yard as compared with bids of paving
contractors ranging from S1.10 to
$l.2O per yard, No wonder the paw

disparage the municipal repair plant

ular abuses and their remedies, he says:
Broad and liberal discussion of prevalent

Colonel Bryan's demand for the
resignation of the democratic national
committeeman for Illinois and in event
of his refusal for his ousting by the
coming democratic state convention
raises the point anew as to the source
of authority of the national commit
tee and the control of its members by
the state organizations. On the re-
publican side It is fairly we'll estab-
lished that national committeeman get
their commissions from the national
convention merely on recommendation
of the various state delegations, and
that they are not subject to discipline
by the state organizations. When
they resign the resignation is properly
| addressed to the national committee,
which alone has authority to fill va
cancies, although every political COM
mittee, doubtless, has the power to
expel member for cause. The states
| rights doctrine, which would make
unit might be invoked by the demo-
| Gratis to warrant the ousting of a ma
tional committeeman by a state con-
vention before his term of service has
expired, but the pernicious effect of
such a rule would be seen If 1t we're
carried still further to state. county
and city committees, subjecting the
members to ousting at any time on de-
mand of some dissatisfied constituent.

Nebraska prohibitionists in their
state convention have again affirmed
allegiance to popular election of
United States senator's, but instead of
nominating a candidate for senator
they have relegated that duty to the
state committee. Upon at least one
previous occasion a prohibition candi-
date for United States senator was
nominated in Nebraska and voted on
at the polls. so that this action. or
rather inaction, by the prohibition
convention is a backward step on it's
part. II 1t is right and proper that
the rank and file of each political
party should choose their own candi-
dates for senator it would be hard to
justify the exercise of that power by
small group under authority vested
in them as a party committee.

MRS. l.. W. HOOD, Press Supt.

Vancouver, Wash, a town about the
size of Grants Pass, is finding its sa.
looms a serious menace to its good or
der and prosperity. The town has 30
saloons and though having three police
men, two for night and one for day,
barroom brawls and street fights have
become so numerous tnat the better
class of citizens are demanding of the
authorities that the police force be in
creased at least two men, or that he
number of saloons be decreased. The
condition has become so bad that the
residences sections of the town are be-
ing infested with drunken hoodlums
and mounted policeman is asked for
that women aud girls may not be in
danger when on the streets.
If saloon tended to make town
prosperous then Vancouver should be
one Of the most prosperous towns in the
Northwest for il has saloon for every
172 men, women and children, or one
saloon for every So male inbabitant
over 81 years of age. But Vancouver
finds that its big number of saloons are
driving out the better class of people
and repelling desirable investors, caus-
ing taxes to be higher and injuring
the general prosperity of the place. In
the expectation of cutting the saloons
down to rs ,sonable number it is pro.
posed to raise the license from $3.50 a
year to $1,000. Vancouver is good
object lesson to other towns in proof
that the more saloons the more brawls
and court expenses aud the more bur-
den on the taxpayers and the less real
prosperity to the town.
