PROFESSOR SCORES
FAIR SEX AGAIN
Morality Of Women, He Says,
Rather Expediency Than
Innate Virtue.

Chicago. Sept. 23.-Professor w. I.
Thomas. of the University of Chicago,
is likely to receive more of the sharp
criticism and censure which visited him
several months ago when his book Sex
and Society" appeared. His views of
women as expressed in thai book
aroused the Indignation of many prom
inent women who declared his reputa-
ton as a sociologist die not prevent
him from being just to ONE
In an October magazine, Professor
Thomas has an article entitled THE
Adventttious Character of Woman"
in which he handles the fair sex with
and cause of what generally are con
sidered their foibles, weaknesses and
Establishments.
AS for the morality of women the
professor considers it mere expediency
rather h a an innate virtue.
Purity, constancy. reserve and de-
votion are qualities in a woman which
please and flatter the male he says.
Morality In some women. he intimates,
Is the effect of fear of losing the re-
spect of their acquaintance.
She behaves all right as long as she
Is with her people and known by the
whole community" he says. but when
she becomes detached from her home
and is no longer under surveillance, her
restraints are likely to be relaxed"
AS for marriage, the professor kinks
there is not much comradeship between
the average man and his wife, aside
from their interest in their children.

BABY FROM
TALONS OF EAGLE

New York, Sept. 23.-Hundreds OF per-
Sofs are Journeying out to the physical
culture camp, near Helmetta, N. j.. to see
a large bald eagle which was captured
while attempting to carry away a 3-year-
Old of Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick
Sribler, who are spending the summer in
the woods.
The child Is small for her age, and sew
eral times had told her mother that she
was afraid of a big turkey that flew down
close to her while she was at play. The
parents gave no need to the child's story
until they were startled by her agonized
screams.
Fastening from their shack, they were
mortified to see a huge eagle. with its
talons set in the child's arm, Tapping it's
great wings and trying to rise with its
prey. Mr.. Cribler ran to the rescue of the
aittle one. while Paul Cribler, his brother,
caught up a shotgun and followed him.
Mrs. Crtbler was nearly crazed with
fright and followed the men screaming.
When Mr.. Cribler reached the eagle he
attacked it with a club, but so intent was
the bird in getting away with it's prev
that he was obliged to strike 1t several
blows before 1t released It's grip on the
child's arms. AS the eagle rose Paul
Cribier fired and wounded the eagle so
that it Topped to the earth and was placed
TN a cage
The child's arm Is severely lacerated
and swollen, and it's dress was torn to
rags in the struggle. The eagle measured
five feet min inches from tip to tip. and
when the gunshot wound in its wings are
healed 1t will be sent to the Bronx ZOO
logical park.

DRAFT HORSE IN DEMAND.

Horses are scarce all over the country.
fnany farmers having only enough to car
ny on their farm work. 1t will undoubt-
sedly pay the general farmer to raise more
&lorses-that is, If they are the right kind.
Men who are in a position to Fnow say
there will continue to be a gooa demand
Tor several years to come. Now is the
time to get into the game.
The farmer who would raise horses With
profit should give his attention to the
draft animals. Let the millionaire, VINO
has money ard time to spare, devote his
energies tosthe race horse and fancy driv-
or. The money these days is in the horse
OF the draft type. Visit any Of the large
horse markets of the country and the ami
mails bringing the highest price and In
best demand are those capable of heavy
work. Motor vehicles have in a measure
proved a substitute for driving animals,
but for the teaning interests of the coun-
try there is no substitute for the draft
horse.
Many horses are consigned to market
that are not draft animals or coach
classes and sell at discouragingly low
prices, yet which cost as much to pro-
educe as ella ssified offerings that clear at
remunerattye values. In this regard 1t
pays to raise only the best. The use of
a scrub stallion on nondescript mares will
never produce the animals that bring the
fancy prices. A pure bred stallion of the
I ut type should be used on the best
nlLres at hand.

(From the PittsDurg Gazette-Iimes.)
We hear OF w%orkingmen saying
that this time they intend to vote
for Mr.. Bryan, because for the past
ten months we have had hard times.
But what good will that do? How is
a tariff for ven ignoring the pro-
lection plea altogether, going to open
the shops and mills? How will the
election Of Senators by direct vote
start the wheels of industry? Or
the publication of campaign contri-
buttons? Or the further harassment
of the railroads? Or the reorganiZa-
ton Of the House, SO that the Speaker
may be p~owerless? Why open this

mand to consume what we ourselves

TAFT's SETTLEMENT OF THE
FRIARS' LAND PROBLEM

In the whole story Of Judge Taft's
brilliant and useful career as iurist,
executive and diplomat there is no
more creditable chapter than that de-
voted to his adjustment of the contro-
versy concerning what were known as
the "Friars' Lands" in the Philip
pines. Those lands, consisting of
some 100000 acres of the most fer
tile soil in the islands, were held by
priests Of certain religious orders, but
were occupied and farmed by native
tenants, who complained that the
rentals exacted by their clerical land
lords were excessive. Upon the with
drawal of Spanish authority from the
Archipelago the Friars' Lands became
the subject of earnest controversy.
The farmer tenants commended that
the property should be taken from the
priests and thrown open to purchase
in small parcels by the actual occu-
pants. There was a demand, indeed,
for the c%onfiscation of the property
and the priests themselves. in their
ignorance Of American methods, were
fearful that such a course might be
adopted.
1t became one Of Mr.. Taft's tasks
to settle this serious dispute, and he
accomplished it in a manner which
not only greatly increased his own
popularity and enlarged American
prestige in the islands. but developed
| - ,,nr, {I,n ,1n,.;c, n,tI,,,;+;o, o,l +,>~

community Of interest than had ever
existed before. Mr.. Taft carefully in
y~estigated all conditions relating to
the Friars' Lands. He consulted the
clerical landlords, the higher church
authorities and the tenant farmers.
Then he went to Rome, where his
proposals for an amicable adjustment
Of the controversy received the cordial
approval Of the papal authorities.
