THE WOMAN
QUESTION
BY FRANCES GILBREATH
INGERSOLL.

And now they are hauling Mr.
Mormon Smith over the Goals. I've
been looking up the authorities on
the wife question and I'll be
hanged if l can tell who's right.
It's like this: The Lord made the
first man and gave him one wife.
But it was as bad misfit as some
nowadays; she started right in to
make trouble Oike they all do), and
Adam was out of a job in conse-
quence.
Then David had special dis
pensation' and got lot of wives;
but David wasn't satisfied with
what he had dixie the men now),
and stole another mans wife.
Solomon went ahead of his father
and had 700 wives and 800 other
women, and the Lord was perfectly
satisfied with David and Solomon
and gave them all these women be-
cause they were really good men
like Mr.. Smith, | reckon. Then a
very smart man called Paul gives
his opinion. He said man might
have one wife; but in his opinion
even that was one too many, for
young women were no account, and
widows couldn't be trusted. But |
don't go much on his opinion, for
an old bachelor couldn't be very
sound on the woman question. Then
comes a fellow called Uncle Sam,
who says no man shall have more
than one wife lat the same time),
But he soon gets into a scrap with
a negro who had lot of wives, and
because the negro had the upper
hand, Uncle Sam gave him lot Of
money if he would keep his own
side Of the fence and keep the
blamed women out of sight. But
neighbor Farnsworth heard of it,
vent into the business and rounded
Up AZ; and they were real wives in
good and regular standing, too. |
presume Farnsworth thought if he
couldn't strike Uncle Sam for a
pile, he might be able to draw
pension. Uncle Sam told Farms
worth he couldn't keep but one
wife, and when Farnsworth said he
thought he had as good rights as
any negro" then Uncle Sam shut
him up in jail.
Next a man named Roberts got
three. He came along one day
where a lot of fellows were talking
politics, and tried to sit down and
talk politics, too. But the women
Clipped in like they always do, and
said their husbands shouldn't asso-
ciate with such a man. But Mr..
Roberts says the Lord gave him his
wives, and he doesn't go sneaking
around nights, but stays at home;
and SO long as he's got dollar he's
going to stand by them.
Then Mr.. Smoot got into the
same fuss, and now it's Mr.. Smith.
But what l can't see is this: The
preachers are always telling us how
the Lord loved David, and how we
should live like him; and then come
down with both feet on Mr. Roberts
and the others because they do the
Sine as David did. Then Uncle
Sam helps Mr.. Sulu support a lot
of wives, and shuts up men like
Farnsworth because they want the
same rights. l think Uncle Sam has
got spinal depravity, but If he and
the Lord would agree on a ticket 1t
would settled the whole business
and save sight of trouble for the
men.

The Barnes Appointment.
From the Salt Lake Herald.

FROM the salt Lake herald.
Since Senator Tillman fled formal charges
against b. F. Barnes, appointed postmaster
or Washington, ID. c., by President Roose-
welt, Ii has become manifest that the con-
troversy over the Mrs. Morris incident must
be cleared up satisfactorily before Barnes
succeeds to the position. The accuse ions
are specific and direct, and conclude with
the charge that Mr. Barnes made state
ment to the press which was fun OF false
hoods and which proves him to be lacking
In that integrity and high character which
a government official should have.
The New York Press, an ardent repub-
lican paper which boasts of its stanch re-
pubiicanism on all occasions, thus COM
ments on Barnes appointment;
"Of course 1t Is inconceivable that MT.
Roosevelt expected confirmation OF his lieu
tenant for any office. and last of all for the
postmastership of the city where the Mrs.
Morris incident occurred, without a thor
ough threshing out of the scandal. Moth
ing is gained for the cause of justice by de-
riding the fight ON Barnes as part OF the
general Senate program of hostility to the
President because the senator who has
lodged the formal charges against Mr..
Barnes Is the most aggressive supporter or
the presidential policy-rate regulation
which has made him so many enemies
among influential senators. Either MT.
Barnes is grossly unfit person for any
government Office or he has been the victim
of cruel Injustice II the truth does not lie
at one or the other of these extremes, and
nowhere between them, then both the de-
tenders of Barnes, and this includes the
President, and the opponents or Barnes,
and this includes Senator I1llman, nave
taken sides Unexpectedly"

Great Parties and Small Groups.

An important possibility in the political
development OF this country was pointed
out by Mr.. Francis b. Loomis in the course
OF hts thoughtfui address before the South
ern Society OF New York last night. Mr..
Loomis. surveying the state OF the nation
IN a comprehensive review, called attention
to the rapid growth of the reform ''isms'
and the advocacy in politics of this and
that and the other plan OF reform. He
sounded the warning that this tendency.
II unchecked. would lead to the breaking
down of the long established party lines In
national affairs and the organization of
small groups or factions. none large enough
alone to control affairs, and dependent for
power upon the forming of coalitions.
Such a condition now exists In France
and Germany and to a limited extent in
England The dominant party in England
at present is fairly coherent, but its great
preponderanee In parliament Is unquestion-
ably due to the alliance OF the labor voters
with the liberals. In France there is no
positive majority party. the control being
vested In a combination of groups styled
the bloc" In Germany the imperial legis-
lsture Is split up into many small bodies

Commissioners to establish several we'll

1t is gratifyingiy large when compared
with the means available Washington
should have a model playground system. In
some manner. whether by the utilization of
some OF the park spaces or by the provf-
sion of new areas. the children should be
given the chance to engage safely In games

the youngsters and possibly their direction
in the games they play.
All this costs money. il done properly
Thus far the work has been largely volun-
tary. The beginnings did not cost the Dis

American politics that strong parties are
necessary for the public welfare. that only
through them can issues be clearly defined
before the people. In municipal. and occa-
sicnaiiy in state affairs. the party lines
must be generally ignored, in order that the
national issues may not. obscure and over
whelm the locally vital Issues of the hour.
The American people are slowly learning
this lesson of community independence from
national parties. But. complete may be
the divorce of municipal state politics
from national politics. and independent as
the citizens may be In choosing their mayors
and aldermen and sometimes their sove-n-
ors and legislators. they should for their
best interests. hold with fair nrmness to
the two at the most three large organize
tons which compact public sentiment into
distinguishable policies and propositions
There can he no clear-cvt responsibility
on tie part of the administrative officials
to the country WREN elections are carried
by groups of voters acting in temporaryaro-
hes.on for the sake of immediate advantage.
Men become opportun;sts. They compromise
with the conditions. A President chosen by
the combined votes of three four groups,
brought into Il temporary alliance must
necessarily assemble cabinet of diverse
elements. He must look to a Congress con-
s,s-ing of number of minority parties, con-
stantly subject to shifts of position and in
capable of long-continued pursuit of con-
sistent purposes. Harmonious. progressive.
constructive legislation and administration
would be in such case impossible.
If there is now imminent such a condition
as that suggested by Mr. LOOMS 1t be-
hooves the voters of this country to look
closely to their party affiliations and for
the men of strong convictions to work for
organizations which will represent the domi-
nant sentiments of great groups, rather
than combinations of small ones. The pc
Rod of free thought and unrestricted dis
cussion is producing many shades of opinion.
and there are signs that the day of intivid-
ual Independence. with its evils of inco-
herence and confusion. may be closely at
hand. The demand of the time in such cir
cumstances is for men to bury their minor
differences and to get together on the great

A wealth of feminine array,
Worn by strange people. queer OF face,
Supposed to represent true grace.
Their waists are tiny and their arms
Are long; lack of facial charms

They wear steadfast, smiling stare.
Their rounded shoulders they can twist

A very assuring thing is contained in the
following paragraph from the latest st.

"A great scandal has been caused by the
premature publication of the draft of the

know where to place it, and then how to
affect surprise and help swell the volume of
