, Unsexing Sin


A Western judge has just ruled
that wife has the same right to
gamble, get drunk and stay out all
night that husband has; and,
when it comes right d own to the
abstract poirt. it must be confess
d that the judge is right There
is lot of food for solid thought in
the ruling. and it suggests the vital
truth that right and wrong are not
questions of sex but are. and ever
have been, and will continue to b.
the same for men and women. OF
course Apologies will raise the
question of custom. But custom
is one thing and it may be rein
forced by tolerance, but right lie
quite another thing.
THE double standard of morals"
which has become such a common
phrase. is as false as it is degrading
aud dangerous and it would never
have existed but for it's invention
in the minds of immoral men. Had
it never been heard of the world
would have been better than it is
now, for there is but one morality
and it holds for all moral beings
of whatever age or sex In no
manner does the breaking of the
moral law hinge upon the law Is as
much an obligation of the law
as it is of the woman.
Under the false education that
custom has foisted upon this coun-
try, people ire inoiined to look
with indifference upon a great
many things in men which are re-
garded as an abomination in
women, and the public very fire.
quently pardons the one for the
very acts for which it damns the
other. 1t is this miserable hypoc-
risy that is making the most of our
trouble for US. 1t is the old idea
of the double standard that is
making the most of the divorces
in this country, but it is refreshing
to discover that there is court
thai. does not recognize it and the
effect of this first decision should
have faT-reaohing influence. If
the male population were to be
given to understand that the wife
is just az much entitled to the
privilege of going out and whoopin'
EN- up as the men and that suoh
conduct is no more degrading to
the wife than it is to the. husband
there would be such moral
awakening as has seldom been ex.
perienced in any land at any time.
Be it said with all honor to the
wives of the land that they find
adherence in even the suggestion
of such method of reprisal, but
let no self-indulgent husband think
for moment that he has the right
to presume upon his wife's high
standard of morality in justifica-
ton for the indulgence in what he
regards as his liberties. He is the
same sort of reprobate that bis
habits make him and until he ID
satisfied to the stan dard which he
sets he has no right. morally OF
legally, to complain if his wife does
not maintain standard of conduct
which makes him unfit to associate
with her.-CharIeston Gazette.

To carry into ',-ctical operation
these three great ideas. three separate
examinations were In turn planned
and formed by George III. Maxwell.
The first idea was carried out throng..
The National Irrigation Association
which conducted a great campaign for
national irrigation resulting IN the en-
actment OF the National Irrigation Act
In June, 1903.
The second idea was formulated and
put into working operation through
the organization OF the Rural settle
ments Association.

dents OF the lands irrigated In the
| Valley below from the reservoir, f0r
pumping water for irrigation and other
purposes. The work ON this stu.
| pendous government structure Is being
pushed forward with all practicable
haste. II is believed that In less than
two years from to-day the water from
the reservoir viii be flowing into the
canal OF the Salt River Valley. In
much less time than that the govern.
ment will be furnishing electric power
for running the pumping plants OF the
farmers In the valley and furnishing
electric power for all the purposes for
which power from this source can be
used.
SMALL GARDEN FARM TRACTS
More than a year ago Mr. Maxwell
conceived the idea that the highest and
best use 10 which the lands under this
great government Irrigation system
could be- devoted was that they should
be suhdivided into small tracts FOR
garden farming. berry culture and the
growing Of small fruits. melons. aud
other products OF intensive cultivation.
The raising Of poultry In all its
branches would OF course hc one OF
the most profitable adJuncts Of these
intensively cultivated garden farms
I'm the past this character of land cub
ture has not been practicable In the
salt River Valley because ~ the fact
that at the season OF the year when
the water WAS most needed there be-
ING no reservoir. the river was az Its
lowest stage, and the supply N water
the shortest. All this will hr changed

Reservoir

demons tration Of the prohts 90 be- de
rived from garden farms Of this class
should be 80 organized as % cmbody
