rnE pLAoIARIzINa JOURNAL

The Journal Is adding theft to Its
reprlnting every few days Of old
stareotyped plates, short stories
and other Iulqultles. Unable to
write readable editorial, It has been
in the habit OF taking them from
the Capital News and Wall Street
journal, occasionally sandwlching in
one from some unknown exchange
without giving the paper credit for
the same. In newspaper ethics that
is stealing and the person who makes
a habit OF INDUCING In II is known
among the fraternity as a thief and
a plagiarizer. This morning the
Journal contains an editorial which
appeared in the Boise Capital News,
August 20, the paper reaching this
city yesterday. The Boise paper is
no given credit, probably because the
Journal joker thought its attack so
far superior to any personal attack
It could make on the Press--and we
admit such is the truth--that II
would steal, purloin, just this one
from the Boise paper, and avoid ex-
posture by cutting It OF the exchange
list for the one issue. II attempts

FROM WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
By BETTY BRADEEN.

Can you imagine the restlessness OF a
young woman, blessed with a good hus-
band and a baby son, with money enough
to grant all reasonable wishes2 There is
such a woman openly rebelling against
her good fortune just because her hus-
band works hard and prefers home TO
any other place when his work is fin
ished-
By her own confession, the woman has
time enough 10 sew, to keep up her music
and have whatever she wants. But she
wants TO go out evenings, attend thea
tiers. and be in crowds at other amuse-
ments. and her husband does not. so the
silly thing finds her life empty and longs
to join the ranks OF wage-earners and
give UP a good deal that now makes her
life easy and comfortable. The problem
is one for deeper brains than mine to
solve
It would be wise for the husband to
vary the monotony Of the evening by an
occasional outing. and Il would be equally
wise for the woman 10 find amusement
during the day. which is not a bit diff
cult with natinees two and three times
a week. musical affairs much oftener
tees and games Of various kinds

woman's happiness that diversion be
found for every day in the week. wher
she has a home and family 20 claim her
attention.

I am always sorry for the woman who
cannot interest OF auuse herself, sorry
for the one who IS dependent on neigh

left in her own society for a few hours
without an attack of the blues as a
consequence. Life is very fun TO sensible
