Scientific Sex Equality.
The Funk & Wagnalls company an
nounce the publication Of new book
by DR.. Densmore, entitled Sex Equal
ity-A Solution Of the Woman's Prob
lem" It teaches that women are
more intuitive, refined, unselfsh and
spiritual, but at the present time are
distinctly inferior to men In initiative,
resource, power and breadth Of view.
It 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 hereGity; 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
ical, 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
t'llty in denying these conclusions. -

SeirituaIist Merchant incompetent.
Edward w. Vanderbilt, an aged lum-
ber merchant Of Brooklyn, who some
months ago married the noted spirit
ualist medium May s. Pepper and who
gave or willed to her q large part OF
his property. has been judged insane
or otherwise incompetent to transact
business by the sherif's jury summon
ed pursuant to an action brought by
his daughter to determine his mental
condition. During the hearing before
the lunacy commissioners Mr.. Wander
bilt frankly admitted his belief in spir'
it manifestations, and evidence was
submitted to show that the alleged
spirits who controlled the medium had
suggested his gifts Of property to her.
Mrs. Pepper-Vanderbilt on the stand
explained that the spirit known as
Bright Eyes, and others took com
plete possession Of her under certain
conditions, so that she was uncon-
scious of the messages sent through
her mind to other persons present.
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-
rania railroad, which had brought suit
to enjoin the county from collecting the
fine imposed for violation Of the stat
ute. The Judges holA that the new law
Is unconstitutional because the two
cent rate is unreasonable to the point
of confscation, inasmuch as it 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-
fendant urged that in determining
whether the maximum rate is improper
slI traffic and rates within the state
must be taken into consideration and
that it is not lawful to take the pas
senger traffic into consideration with
out reference to express and freight
rates., but this view was not accepted
by the court. The case was to be
taken at once to the supreme court OF

SOCIOLOGICAL
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 a hybrid fem
mime who is a cross between a mag
nifed, rather unmannerly boy and a
spoiled, exacting creature who sincere
" loves herself alone. Thus, explains
this sociologist, "a slipshod, unchival-
rous companionship" has grown up
between the sexes which after mar

treat and told MISS Soa@ hu''nei'
her side Of the story quite frankly.
She insists that her purpose in going
to the Earle house was In the hope OF
bringing about a reconciliation be-
tween Earle and his wife and that her
own love Of the man was not realized
until after she had known Of the rou-
BILE existing between the Earles. 1t
was Mrs. Earle herself who urged
Miss Kuttner to marry Earle, especial
" as he had agreed to let her have the
custody Of their little boy. Miss Kutt-
ner said she had such wonderful un-
derstanding Of Mr.. Earle that she had
thought she could help the wife to un-
derstand him.
Declaring that he could no longer
stand the false position in which he
had been placed by mendacious re-
ports, Mr.. Earle gave to the press
long statement telling how he came to
meet Miss Kuttner in settlement work,
how the acquaintance grew by chance
meetings on ship board and In Europe
and how when they discovered their
feeling they wrote the joint letter to
Mrs. Earle, saw her parents In Paris
and made an amicable arrangement.
He also published letter written by
his wife to a mutual friend last month
showing her not only willing but an1-
lous for separation and giving her
blessing to Miss Kuttner. She said the
change gave more hopeful and peace
full face to her own life.
