SOCIOLOGICAL
Why American Marriage. Fail.

Why American Marriages Fail.
Again a woman Is finding fault with
American wives and complaining of
the failure of American marriages.
This time it is Anna A. Rogers In the
Atlantic Monthly, who says that "the
excessive education and excessive
physical coddling of young women"
and their devotion to physical culture
and sports have evolved hybrid fem
nified rather unmannerly boy and a
spoiled, exacting creature who sincere
ly loves herself alone. Thus, explains
this sociologist, "a slipshod, unchival-
rous companionship' has grown up
between the sexes which after mar
riage is found to be "a cause for tears
or temper" One contr,butory cause,
she says, is the existence of 1921
courts empowered to grant divorces.
Scientific Sex Equality.
The Funk & Wagnalls company an
nounce the publication Of a new book
by DR.. Densmore, entitled Sex Equal
lty-A Solution of the Woman's Prob
lem" 1t teaches that women are
more intuitive, refined, unselfish and
spiritual, but at the present time are
distinctly inferior to men in initiative,
resource, power and breadth of view
1t undertakes to show that these men
tai differences between men and wom-
en- are not fundamental or the result
Of sex, but are caused by environment
and herehty; that when each sex is
fully developed there will not be, as
now, masculine traits and feminine
traits, but simply human traits; that
women will be as mathematical, log
zeal, philosophical and inventive as
men, and men will be as intuitive, re-
fined and spiritual as women. 1t is a
strong plea for extending democracy
into all phases of human life. Fur
thermore, there are given good rea-
sons for believing that the diminutive
stature and inferior strength now
characteristic of women are the re-
suit not of sex, but of habits of life
and heredity. Those who accept the
doctrine of evolution will have diff
Guilty in denying these conclusions.

He also published letter written by
his wife to mutual friend last month

Two Cent Fare Law Invalid.
The first test case against the Penn
sylvania two cent railroad fare law
passed by the last legislature was de-
cided In the common pleas court in
Philadelphia when Judges Wilson and
Audenried rendered decision against
the law and In favor of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, which had brought suit
to enjoin the county from collecting the
fine imposed for violation Of the stat
ute. The judges hold that the new law
Is unconstitutional because the two
cent rate is unreasonable to the point
OF confiScaton, inasmuch as Ii would
deprive the plaintiff of property with
out due process Of law; consequently
they say that the county should be re-
strained from demanding fines or at
tempting to force collection. The de-
PENDANT urged that in determining
whether the maximum rate Is improper
all traffic and rates within the state
must be taken into consideration and
that 1t is not lawful to take the pas
senger traffic into consideration with
out reference to express and freight
rates, but this view was not accented
by the court. The case was to be
taken at once to the supreme court of
the state.

sQuAW BALKED At MONKEY
Made Her Noble Red Spouse Give
this Beast Away.

Tom Woods, halfbreed, was put in
Jail four months ago for stealing chick
ems from reservation farmer by the
name of Grow. Woods served his 100
day sentence, but was cheered almost
every day by the presence of his devot-
ed wife and children who came to visit
him in his cell. During the time he
was incarcerated, negotiations were
carried on by which the prisoner sold
some of his land, and when he quit
the county Jail he was richer by sew
eral hundred dollars than he ever has
been in his lifetime.
After several futile attempts co
spend the money fast enough in PEN
dleton, Woods went to Portland and in
the next few days, among other
things, be bought $40 monkey.
When the haifbreed recovered from his
spree, about all he had to show for his
money was the monkey, and bis wisely
purchased ticket back to Pendieton.
He came home, bringing the monkey
along as peace offering to bis good
wife. For all bis spouse was kind to
him while in Jail. she refused TO live
with him II he persisted in keeping the
monkey so he prevailed upon Agent
Edwards driver to take the burden Off
bis hands. Peace reigns once more in
the Woods tepee.

CAUSE OF SEWELL's DOWNFALL
Friends Borrowed Too Much From
the Defaulting Lumberman.

The Pilot Rock Record says of the
cause of the downfall of w. j. Sewell.
who embezzled funds from the Pot.
latch Lumber company at Pendleton.
and is now in the penitentiary:
If Mr.. Sewell had the money today
that was borrowed from him by vari-
Gus persons, friends Of course, be could
probably pay all he owes, or, in other
words, if it had not been for those who
constantly besought him for loan of
10, 20 and 100 dollars at various times.
with no intention of ever repaying it.,
be would today be walking the streets
of Pendleton, the same highly respect
ed citizen he was before falling prey
to those who take advantage of man
who is willing to accommodate a
friend in Strengthened circumstances.
When Mr.. Sewell was arrested in
San Francisco by the sheriff of this
county. he had. all told, 15 cents in
his pockets. One of his friends in
Pendleton who owed him upwards Of
$2e0, paid him $5 on his return from
the Bay city.
Or this amount he gave man who
was sentenced to two years in the PEN
itentiary from Pendleton So. so. in or
der that the man might be able to buy
few extras after his arrival at Salem.
The man who will give away his
money is not safe person to handle
the money of others.

THE TRUST IS UNDER PROBE
Federal Grand Jury Investigates Fur
niture Business.

The questionable business methods
of the alleged Pacific Coast furniture
trust are being investigated by the
Federal grand jury. now in session in
Portland. and indictments may be ex-
peoted says the Oregonian. The trans
actions complained of are alleged to
be in violation of the Sherman anti
trust act. which forbids conspiracies
in restraint of trade, Inquiry into the
methods of the trust was begun when
Orville 0. Hodson, furniture dealer
of McMinnville, was called as the first
witness against the com animation. As
sistant United States Attorney James
Cole is conducting the investigation,
which may involve many Of the pro-
minent retail and wholesale furniture
dealers on the Coast before it is con-
oluded.
Evidence will be placed before the
grand jury, it is alleged. to show that
a trust exists not only among the
Wholesale and retail dealers, but
among the jobbers as we'll. Control
ling prices and restricting sales are
charged against the combine, which.
it is asserted. is we'll organized, includ-
ing. with but few exceptions. all of
the wholesale and retail dealers on the
Coast. The alleged trust is said to
control all of the principal furniture
manufacturing plants, from which it
is impossible for a retailer to buy un-
less he is member of the local orga-
nization of retailers. So effective is
the combine that the would-be inde-
pendent dealer, il is complained, finds
it impossible to purchase goods from
any firm either in the West or in the
East. A membership in the local re-
tailers' association is said to be con-
dition precedent to engaging in the
business at all.
The alleged trust is not Of hcal
character, but is said to extend over
the states of Oregon, Washington ani
California. The small dealer in thu
outlying towns is the man who suffer,
from the operation of the reported
combine. He is required not only Il
pay big membership fee to join th
association but in his dealings wit
the organization be is required to pa
their price for the goods he purchases
United States Attorney Bristol re
fused to divulge the progress of the in
vestigation by the grand jury. al
though he admitted that the method
of the furniture combination are bein
inquired into.
| "Tt is the purpose of the grand jur
to get the facts,' said Mr.. Bristol
last night, 'and If there has been
violation Of the law the guilty partie
| will be indicted and prosecuted.
Although the prosecutor would no
confirm it, there is reason to suspec
that the operation of the Wholesal,
Grocers' Association will also be in
vestigated before the Federal inquisi
torial body has been adjourned. Thil
organization is reported to have beer
operating in direct violation of th'
Sherman antitrust law.
