The Stay At Home Woman
C.o.- +I~o yy;nLnL.r poa+

From the Vicksburg Post.
Perhaps no one understands,
not the wife or mother herself,
what a many sided life hers is,
and how important it is that she
should be able to meet all her
daily requirements. She who is
a true home woman. holds more
positions and transacts more
business than many a man dur
ing her busy day.
She must be a fnancier and
know to a cent the expenditure
of her little household, or that
part of the machinery will be out
of gear when the settling up day
arrives. She must be both a
judge and jury, capable Of set
Ting all the differences in her
small household, of adjusting
matters and of maintaining
peace.
Often it is necessary she
should be a capable designer and
dressmaker, able to cut down
and fit her husbands old suits
for the little ones. She also has
to be a preacher and schoolmis-
tress to her young brood, teach
ing them manners and religion.
watching the development Of
their young minds.
One also of her greatest duties
is that of queen and helpmeet.
She must, if success is to be hers,
throw herself heart and soul into
her husbands interests, share
his fears, divide his responsible
ties and multiply his joys.
And yet, knowing that being
a wife and mother mean all this,
there are yet some girls and
women who sheer at and pity
the ones who have chosen to do
this work, which they undertook
when they pledged their mar,
riage vows, and to do it to the
best of their ability.
Instead Of sneering, it would
be better if each would be bride
were to seriously ask herself
whether she is capable of carry
ing out all the various positions
which in course of time will
probably fall to her lot.
1t is true nobility, worthy of
the highest admiration. when a
mistress of a household strives
to faithfully and cheerfully dis
charge all the various and petty
tasks which from day to day
face her.
No newspapers will ring with
her famous acts, with the great
work she is doing, but those in
her own circle, husband, child
rem, parents and friends, will
rise up and call her blessed, and
she will rejoice in time to come.
Wives and mothers should
ever remember that the best
work is not done in the center of
a large stage over which rolls
the note of public appreciation
and applause, but in a quiet lit
tie place, unseen and unnoticed
except by those around us.
Of all the careers, professions,
employments and work open to-
women, there is none which
gathers such a harvest of love as
that of the housewife, be she
wife, mother or sister.

WHY MEN THROW BOMBS

A NEW YORK news dispatch con-
IN veys the information that a poor
- man named Samuel Miller has
been sentenced to serve ten years in
the state prison for stealing twelve @
cent postage stamps One charge was
preferred against him. Three days
later Levi G. Lincoln. president OF the
Woonsocket, r. l., Electric Light and
Power company, who had confessed to
the embezzlement of $47,500, was SEN
fenced to four years Imprisonment on
two charges.
Somebody removed the bandage from
the eyes of Justice in each of these
cases, and Justice discovered a path by
which it could escape from itself and
leave the people TO solve for them
selves the perplexing problem involving
that principle which declares that the
laws are made to apply alike to the
high and the low, the rich and the
poor.
Why should we wonder that men be-
come bomb -throwers when Justice plays
such a farce as it has in the cases of
these two men? Put yorself in Mill
er's place, if you can, and the question
answers itself.

AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT

n + course The Herald and its presi-
dent, Mr.. T. e. Gibbon, should feel
~ gratified at the personal compli-
ment to the latter implied BIZ the sug-
gestion made by our esteemed contem-
poraries, the Express and News of this
city, that the governor appoint Mr..
Gibbon member of the state railroad
commission, and equally, of course.
such a suggested action on the part of
the governor is utterly and entirely
impossible, so that it is not necessary
for Mr.. Gibbon to say that he would not
be able to accept position which he
knows would not under any circum-
stances be offered him.
At the same time The Herald is
authorized to say for him that no pub
lie office of any kind has any attrac-
ton whatever for hinls and he is more
than content to pursue the even tenor
of his way as private citizen endeav-
oring to be of some use to his COM
munity through the columns of this
journal, for whose course he acknowl-
edges some responsibility.

DIED: A FALLAcY

WI .HATEVER other effects the
wv financial furry may have, there
is little doubt that 1t has dealt
deathblow to the protective tariff
superstition. The next time a "stand
patter" starts to argue that if we so
revise the tariff schedules as to elimin-
ate the protective feature we will
itnperil our prosperity, write him down
either knave or fool.
The idolatrous ignorance which has
characterized a large contingent among
the American people in dealing with
the tariff has given way to reason, we
believe. Rational discussion, based
upon conditions as they actually exist,
must take the place of abuse and preju-
dice. Blind acceptance of theories pro-
mulgated by experts whose Studies
have demonstrated ETC., ETC., must now
give way 10 logic and hard, colo facts.
The bursting Golfers of the trusts,
increased cost of living and failure of
wage increase are arguments more
cogent than the superheated oratorical
ether offered by the "let good enough
alone" propagandists.

WE NEED CONFIDENCE
RATHER THAN GOLD

gUHE Chicago Record Herald, in COM
mon with most Of the other infiuen-
Il tial newspapers of the east, sounds
a cheerful note in its editorial discussion
of .he return of confidence. 1t draws a
parallel between certain conditions in
1898 and 1907 and makes point which
may have escaped the attention of the
casual reader. The Record-Herald says:
What we need now is not more gold
but more confidence said Mr.. Wander
lip, one of the most enlightened of New
Yorks financiers, the other day. He
made this remark in connection with GER
tain cancellations of engagements for
the transfer of European gold to the
American market.
1t is true that the danger of further
alarming Europe" is given as one of the
reasons for checking the imports of the
yellow metal. We have wheat, cotton
and other staples to sell to the other
side, and excessive Withdrawals of specie
may interfere with the exports of our
commodities. This, however. Is not the
chief reason. Mr.. Vanderlip and other
conservative bankers believe that the
amount of gold already imported to re-
lieye the money strain--over $50 900, ,0OO--
win prove sufficient, especially in View
of the other favorable influences and fac
tors that have come and are still coming
into play.

CRIME OR DISEASE?

Drunkenness is a disease-so declare
many medical scientists who have given
the malady careful and prolonged
man, to investigate the subject-a Brit
ish government officer named Branth-
waite-concludes that it is not the first
glass or even moderate drinking"
which makes drunkards, but an inher-
ent defect in the mental organism, gen.
orally inherited. The ordinary drunk
ard, he says, is a victim of heredity or
environment, and alcohol is merely the
medium which brings into prominence
the defects, which, if it had not been for
that or some other like influence, would
have always remained hidden.
He maintains that it is highly improb-
able that a normally constructed indi-
vidual enjoying good health will become
a habitual drunkard, and believes that
the person mentally inclined to be a
drunkard, if he were deprived of alco-
hol, would find something else that
would bring him to the same condition.
Some of the causes found to bring
about this mental defect are drunken
ness in parents and lack of proper food
in infancy. The treatment of the dis
ease, in his opinion, should be medical,
on neurotic or psychopathic lines, with
an early recognition of the causes that
may lead to drunkenness. He does not
regard the use of drugs as proper treat
ment for the disease itself, but thinks
their efficacy is limited to the Fremont
tory symptoms. The only permanent
cure is to be found in the treatment of
the mental aspects of the disease.
Thoughtless people have long re-
garded drunkenness as a crime rather
than a disease. Prohibition thus recog-
nizes it, If it is crime, then prohibi-
tion will not cure by producing tenn
perance, but will induce hypocrisy and
cultivate stealth. The disease thus
bred will be moral, not physical.
1t is strange, is it not, that while
most of US are wiling to concede that
the cocaine, morphine or opium habit is
a disease, the whisky habit is crime
or have we accepted this definition
simply because of the ban placed upon
it by the law? Here is an interesting
field for long and conscientious re-
search.

conditions with reference to the STAN

Fortunately all the signs point to such
a return. The workmen, knowing that

Depositors are not only refraining from
giving notices of withdrawal but actually
adding to their accounts and replacing
sums which they hastily took out under

in New York. The general banking sit
uation is entirely satisfactory, and even
the institutions that were embarrassed
for a time owing to their entanglements
with schemes of promotion and stock
gambling have resumed normal opera

people of California their constituents,
will never hear of 1t or it's results.
The board should bear in mind also
that with the lapse of every month the
effect of the statute of limitations cuts
off the legal responsibility of the South
ern Pacific company for one-twelfth Of
the crimes of granting rebates and spe-
cial rates which Commissioner Lane
discovered, and with the lapse of one
year from October last the whole legal
responsibility of the Southern Pacific
for these crimes will have ended
1t is doubtful If any ''mesh" in which
the commissioners might find them
selves involved upon a fortnight, hon
est and open effort to use their tre-
mendous powers in enforcing the law
would delay the punishment of the rail-
roads for any longer time than they
are being delayed by the present course
Of the commission.
OF course, If, as many people charge
and believe, the members of the COM
mission are the creatures Of the South
ern Pacific company and recognize the
fact that they owe their places to it,
then the very thought of summoning
the officers and employees of that COM
pany before it and using their great
powers of punishment for contempt to
force them to frankly and fully fur
nish information which the commission
requires in order to act intelligently,
would probably give the members of
the commission such an attack of heart
failure as would effectually inhibit any
action in the premises.
Gentlemen of the commission, do not
make the mistake of supposing that the
people are not watching the progress
of this matter! They are; and so far
as it is in the power of The Herald
they will be reminded of it's results in
the future-certainly for so long as any
member of the present commission may
be in public life.

Inspector, That is TO say, unless they

his face was not in perfect harmony
with the rest of nature, waxed wroth
and in a spasm of spite bit off his

crate Los Angeles from any blame for
