front was so blockaded with melons,
apples. vegetables, etc, that the woman
couldn't see over them to hnd her way

Shoshone county, Idaho. Many foreign
ers live in this district and it has been
discovered that for years they have
been under the impression that all that
was necessary to insure marriage was
simply the taking out of license. In
one case the marriage license was
found framed in a cabin, just as issued
by the county clerk years ago. and
family of seven children had been
raised by the couple taking out this
license. ALI of this is an excellent
argument to substantiate the claims OF
the "aflnities" who are cropping up all
over the land that a marriage cere-
mony is nothing but an unnecessary
custom. But. of course, philosophy oil
this sort is worse than false.

COLOR IN THE SCHOOLS.

The late detection of a few white
pupils from the grade schools Of To-
peka and dignifed by the pretentious
name of a strike forms a ridiculous
incident in connection with Topeka
school history
The authorities are wise in not Civ
ing too much attention to it. The
white pupils who have left the schools
should be sent back to their desks i'm
mediately by the unwise parents who
have not already done so, or who
have abetted the juvenile instruction.
These insubordinate pupils who
would run the schools regardless of
the law. and the equal rights of all
children of school age should be well
switched or spanked and sent back to
their books. If they do not appear
very soon in their usual seats the
truant officer should be dispatched
forthwith to the homes of the recall
citrants. That should settle the mat
ter.
The ridiculous position of the strik-
ing pupils and parents lies in the fact
that all children, regardless OF color
If "the strikers" could by any remote
impossibility accomplish what they
foolishly set out to do. namely, to drive
the colored children from the school
rooms. the city would forthwith have to
practically duplicate at enormous ex-
pense it's entire school equipment, in
Guiding buildings and instructors, and
including both the high schools, for the
colored pupils are Just as much enti-
tied to public instruction paid for out
of the taxes levied upon both the whites
and the blacks.
The outcome of the matter would be
that for the sake Of eliminating a small
proportion, as a rule, of the colored
students, the white people would have
to pay more than four-f1fths Of the
additional taxes necessary to duplicate
our school system aside from the few
colored schools now in use where the
colors are separated like Monroe and
Washington schools. The whole bust
ness is a tempest in a teapot and il
will be up to the truant officer and his
official weapons to take care of the
situation, unless the ''revolutionists'

WOMEN AND THE DECALoGUE.


The editor of the North American
Review, in his department of 1.-THE
Editors Diary" points out a hitherto
unsupported advantage possessed by
women, the retaining of which advan-
tage depends upon their ceasing to be
placed on a plane of equality with
men. He reminds his feminine read
ers that they cannot hope to attain
equal rights and privileges without
assuming simultaneously as well, as
under secular law" and then proceeds
to prove, to his own satisfaction, at
least, that the Ten Commandments
were given for men only, and that wo-
men are freed, at least by inference,
from any obligations to observe their
requirements.
The writer takes as a starting point,
the commandment regarding the OBJ
servance of the Sabbath-''proper and
practical observance" in his view
and shows that while thou, thy son,
thy daughter, thy man-servant, thy
maid-servant," and even 1.-The stranger
within thy gates are forbidden to
work on this day, "thy wife is not
included. This is because nature re-
quires that the body have sustenance
on this day as on all others. and that
food must be prepared and served by
some person, that person the wife-a
theory borne out, he says, by the Jew
ish custom, when the servants rested
and the wives did the work on the
Sabbath day. The wording of the
Tenth Commandment, Thou shalt not
covet thy neighbours wife," too, proves
to him that it was addressed to the
head OF the family only, and he adds:
'It follows necessarily that none of
the other commandments, in which
no distinction in respect to sex, ap-
pears. such as Thou shalt not steal,
applies to women, since none was ad-
dressed to them but all were directed
exclusively to the men, who were held,
and are of course today, strictly speak
ing. accountable under our fundament-
al religious law for the earthly conduct
and heavenly prospects of their wives.
The fact that men have imposed re-
strictions upon women during the ages
of their control since the Decalogue
was promulgated is wholly immaterial.
and need only be considered in a dip
lomatic, not at all in moral, sense"
This view OF the Decalogue is, to
say the least, a decidedly novel one.
Though the writer is evidently indulg-
ing in a gentle vein of satire it is not
hard to believe, when one reads the
newspapers. that some women are of

about the same as hotel livery tariffs
in the United States.
"In a town in Algeria that I spent a
few hours in once the chef of the
hotel was also the mayor, and it is the
only place where one can get a decent
meal. the worthy mayor being a pretty
fair cook.
"In Constantinople I found a first
