Did you ever notice that "talk" doesn't
hurt a man much? Perfection isn't look
ed for in man. and when some one tries
to injure man by ranting about a few
faults he has, the absent one, who is
probably attending to his own affairs, is
elevated in the hearers estimation, while
the informant is lowered accordingly.
Ii man knocks along, doing fairly well,
people realize that while he has some
faults, he has more virtues and they are
charitable enough to overlook these
faults. But it is different with a girl
or woman. No matter how good and
pure woman may be, let someone start
an infamous lie about her and everyone
is willing to pass it along. and there is
always someone to believe it. That
lie can never be lived down. 1t may
burn low but the gossip-loving are ready
with new fuel. Did you ever think how
damnably mean some goody- good people
are in this respect?

LAW VERSUS THE LAW.

The railroad attorneys of the country
are going into almost immediate confer,
ence upon the amendments to the Inter-
State Commerce law, recently enacted by
Congress. They do not intend to suffer
the imposition of restrictive law if there
is any prescriptive law to prevent it.
They will examine the new statutes for
flaws and blunders and loop. holes, and
make complete record Of their weak
ness, for the purpose of organic and
united attack later on. There will be
no predicate discoverable to the legal
eye that will be omitted from their pro-
gram of demolition, and it is doubtful
If even the supreme court viii be able
to withstand the concerted fight Of these
brainy and well-paid champions Of the
equities belonging, presumably, TO the
great transportation companies,

the object is not to teach but to learn.

the transportation and maintenance of a
great circus is managed. A thousand
people. scores of horses, with animals
requiring special conditions of heat, air,
or food, and mass OF canvas, cordage.

bulky, are carried from one town to
another with fidelity to a schedule pre-.
pared long before. In the town at which
the next performance is to be given the
tent is set up and all other arrange
ments for entertaining crowds of people
are made. Sleeping quarters and regu'
lar meals for thousand men and wom-
en- are provided. The animals are fed
and watered. The money and other
valuables are guarded. 1t may be that
the circus win remain in one town two
or three days, or the next day may find
il many miles away, but whatever the
program the men in charge are capable
of carrying it out.

THE REAL THAW.

1t is evident from the trend OF de-
yelopments to date, that Harry Thaw is
no sort of hero. He is Of the common
est and poorest clay imaginable. Before
he shall have gone through the ordeal
awaiting him, the last and least of his
weaknesses, and the rotten score of
their indulgence. will be in the mouths
and ears of mankind, to his utter damna-
ton and that of his kind. He has lived
the life of the proAigate in its vilest ex-
preston and he cannot hope to escape
the exposure his own reckless jealousy
has evoked. 1t is. perhaps, an excellent
thing that the people should know all
about the limitless phases of aristocratic
depravity; the hideous lengths to which
the cultred brute can 60; the profound
and filthy levels to which the woman
hood of today can be depressed when
swayed by the will of a degenerate man.
1t is among the lessons of the age, and
if it shall have the effect of halting the
on-rush of the Indifferent, money-mad,
social concourse; Of melting the thought
and pulse Of humanity to something
better and cleaner and nobler. then the
exposure were well unfolded. A barren
hope, however!

ELIMINATION.

The bill-posters of Chicago have de-
termined to eliminate" the devil from
the advertising matter of the future, or
the score of the pernicious effect his
Satanic majesty" has on the public
mind; the inspiration to do something
"devilish," as it were. So far, so good
But we beg to offer suggestion, in kind
that may have even a farther reaching
effect in minimizing the tendency to evil
thought and action. Eliminate any and
every picture that ISLANDERS the name
and virtue of decent womanhood; refuse
to post the nude, the semi.nude, the
suggestive phase, and pose, and line,
that leads to impure thought. The femi-
nine nude belongs to the art that is i'm
perishable; that typifies the glory and
grace OF the world in its most cultured
and exalted moods and conceptions; that
means only the beautiful and appeals
only to the loftiest purity Of mind All
else is but the coarser manifestation, the
lower example, wrought with deliberate
and insolent purpose. Eliminate the
nude, and the devil will take care of
himself! 't>''%silr" ~,j>lsrlM~

Chicago. Sept 2S.--The League of
American municipalities today fatty

for or against municipal ownership
of public utilities. A resolution by
Mayor McCaskrin of Rock Island, Ill.
and another by Alderman Stearns of
Adrian, Mich, demanding a vote on
the question by delegates TO the con-
vention was killed in the committee on
resolutions.
This action was followed on the part
of the delegates by tabling report of
the committee on constitution and by
laws which recommended that the
constitution be changed SO as to read
"This organization shall not be COM
mitted on the question of municipal
ownership of public utilities nor be
used for the furtherance of any par
ticular feature of municipal govern
ment.''
