after birth could so warp and distort the natural tendencies. These gentle men who have been so widely quoted evidently know little of the world of women. They have placed themselves on record after very superficial and perfunctory analysis of the sex. The very fact that they have been quoted at all indicates that their views are al together bizarre. If this had been sands of years of the history of the human race their belligerent procla- nations would not have been noticed. Has it been left for them to make a discovery of new world of unmor- ality?
 While the fact that the matter has been so widely bruited about gives it a measure of importance, it is rather that sort of importance which adds to the amusing and diverting phases of social life than to those activities which make for development and progress, and the Dispatch deserves thanks for contributing to the 'gayety of nations by giving Us a chance to say word in answer to even the most obscure of dialecticians who have presumed to air their oratory upon a theme which was certain to attract some attention and excite curiosity if not respect"
 Equivocate in Little Things.
 This matter of evading the truth is even far older than the remark made by an eminent historic person age that he had said in his haste that all men were liars," was the remark of Mrs. Samuel A. Ammon, well known for her great activities in civic affairs, when the caustic assertions of Dr. Taylor were broached to her. Tt is quite possible and defendable," con tinued Mrs. Ammon, that in what we may call the little things of life women evade the truth more often than men do, because they are brought into contact with those lit tie things, chiefly domestic, more than men are.

The South and the Southwest will plant more corn this year than for many years past. Corn is crop that does not depend upon the cotton gam bier, nor the whims of the English spinner. You have many ways to mar ket it, and many forms into which it may be converted. Corn is a fine crop any and every way you look at it. Plant good seed and give it full cul ture so that you will make enough to make it profitable to cultivate it, and justify devoting the land to it's use.

friend, unless, perhaps, in his hon esty of avowal. I think there are mighty few people who keep the rec ord of their personal expenses in ship shape fashion. Lots of us start out with the best of intentions, say at the beginning of year, but it's a good deal like keeping up diary. And just where nine out of ten fall down is in this matter of totaling. It takes but an infinitesimal portion of time to run up column, but somehow we don't like the operation; it's too much like bringing charge against ourselves. So we salve our consciences by jotting down items-when we think of them and let them go at that. Pretty soon the account or memorandum book be- comes hopelessly in arrears and it is put away where it will not be an irri- tation. The next January another be- ginning may be made, but unless the conscience is in very good working order there will be the same result.

Orioin of the Elevator.

The elevator originated in Central Europe. The earliest mention of the elevator is made in letter of Ma poleon I. addressed to his wife Arch duchess Maria Louise. He writes to her that when in Schoenbrunn, then the summer residence of the Austrian emperor, near Vienna, he used the "chaise volante" (fying chair) in that castle which had been constructed for Empress Maria Theresa. It consisted of a small, square room, sumptuously furnished with hangings of red silk and suspended by strong ropes with counter weights, so that it could be pulled up or let down with great ease in a shaft built for the purpose about 1760.

It should be taken into considera tion when discussing the immigra- tion question that there are good and there are undesirable immigrants. Throughout the South and West there is plenty of good land that ought to be in the hands of good husbandmen; there are mines and forests, and there are the thousand and one things that people must have from the mills and factories. So long as this condition continues, we want all sorts of good immigrants, and we should seek them in the best parts of Europe and in England, Ireland and Scotland.

Ha xEY lIGI, Ou Cdlu OT OJAtIN lSG : M is question that has .A been excited by the utter
 ances of a few men, and at least one woman, who have in pub lie recently insisted that women as a general proposition have no sense of the binding sanctity of an oath and are blind to the moral obligation of telling the truth.
 A few days ago, came Dr. William H. Taylor, state chemist of Virginia, in a lecture to the students of the State Medical College of Virginia, proclaimed that woman had mo conception of the moral obligation en- tailed in telling the truth In his opinion truth with a woman is what she wants to be believed. She is con- vinced that what she calls her 'intui- tions" must always be right.
 As a buttress to what these mere men" have asserted comes Mary Hea- ton Worse, woman of some note as writer for the magazines, who as serts that few women can be depended upon to tell the truth, she presumably being one of the few; that they beat" street railway companies; that they listen at telephones, betray confi- dences, sneak the reading of letters; and that she believes the statement of an old judge who told her that upon the witness stand women would invariably perjure themselves"
 These declarations were so sweep ing and so extraordinary that the Pittsburg Dispatch was led to seek the opinions of some Pittsburg wom- en of note, who could be depended upon to say what they thought re- gardless of any reflection upon their own sex-women who think independ- ently and whose thoughts are well de- fined and their language well thought out. One of these is Mrs Enoch Rauh, president of the Council of Jewish Women.
 Not Question of Sex.
 "The telling of truth is absolutely not a matter of seX," was the em- phatic answer to a query by the rep resentative of the Dispatch. Both sexes equivocate and evade upon oc- casion and no one will hazard his rep utation for veracity by saying that women should be singled out for this mark of opprobrium as distinct from

Strenuous Method of savino Life.

Two officers who were hunting wolves on the Dry mountain in cen- tral Servia lost their way in a fog. After wandering for IA hours one of them lay down in the snow and speed fly became unconscious. His comrade bound him with cords, placed him in sitting position and then rolled him down the mountain. He glided down the slope at terrific speed and reached the bottom safely, being found an hour later in an exhausted condi- tion by peasant. He is now in the hospital being treated for the lacera' tions he received in pumping over the rocks during his descent. His com. panion is unhurt.

How About Cuttinq Cotton?

Brother, what are you going to do about that cotton crop this year? You must decide now. Our advice to you would be to put most of it in corn, potatoes, peanuts, and peas. Then plant about ten acres in shoats to feed all the waste you have about your place and when you do this you will not have to study so much about your big cotton crop, for by carrying out the above you will not have time to fool with much cot ton nor will you need much cotton or money either for you will have all you need at home.-Winnfield La., Union Banner

Women Truthful Witnesses.

Miss Suzanne Beatty, attorney-at- law, gives an emphatic negative to the assertion that women are more than men inclined to evade the truth on the witness stand.
 T have been close student of this matter" said Miss Beatty, and it is my positive judgment that wom- en are quite as dependable as men when testifying before a law court. When I was at home, a mere child, one of the dear friends of our family was Judge Campbell, then the presid- ing judge of the Clarion district It is possible that even at that time I had in me the latent germ of the pursuit of the law as a profession, for all that pertained to the courts was of the deepest interest to me. I was much impressed with the remarks of Judge Campbell, often iterated, that he would as a general proposition believe a woman witness sooner than he would a man. Even in those childish days the remark from one who was so deeply venerated by me aroused my pride of sex and when I came to tention was naturally directed to this subject.

that Dr. Taylor chose a very tottering basis for a sensation, and that in making himself talked about he has also made himself absurd
 In very racy manner Mrs. Frank lin P. Iams, attorney -at-law, discussed what has been termed by Shakespeare the lie circumstantial' and the "lie direct" Women may lie on the wit ness stand" said Mrs. Iams, 'in cir cumstances which arouse within her powerful sentiment, while in similar circumstances a man would lie delib- erately and wilfully. The lie in the one case may be said to have been to some extent unconscious, the woman having been persuaded on account of her affections to believe that what she said was true because she wanted it to be true. The man would tell the lie direct, knowing that it was a lie, and telling it to make his case or that of the person in whose inter- est he was testifying.
 Women More Emotional
 "Of course, as everyone knows, women are far more emotional than men. They are therefore more likely to be swayed by their sentiments. I am inclined to think, therefore, that for this very reason women are some what less dependable as witnesses than men, although less to blame for their equivocations. When a man tells a deliberate lie he must be an adept at the business indeed if some thing in his manner or expression fails to suggest that fact to the jury. A woman speaking under the inf1u- ence of powerful sentiment is more apt to give her statement every sem- blance of truth. The man lying de- liberately is well aware that he can hardly do it successfully and there fore he is less apt to try the experi- ment, although he is morally just as much the liar as though he did try it.
 q would say that there is some measure of truth in the assumption that women are more liable than men to go astray from the exact facts when they are in the strange posi- tion of a witness in the courts, but the sweeping assertion of Dr. Taylor that in all circumstances they are less to be believed than men is state ment that should simply make the person who made it ridiculous.

women than In men, Whatever fail ing there may be is to be equally con- demned in both sexes. It is quite pos sible and quite natural that where the affections are involved the woman may be more easily swayed than the man. She is more the creature of sentiment and emotion. Her friend ships and loves are deeper and dearer. Therefore, on the witness stand. she may the more readily, and surely more unconsciously, depart from the exact truth when the interests of those whom she loves are involved. But she does it unconsciously or almost so, if at all. It is psycholog- ical imDu1Se

Have Fear of the Law.

Again, woman on the witness stand is more apart from her sphere than a man is. She is more liable to the mistakes of embarrassment. For that she should not be called to ac- count It is my conviction, however, that women will, generally speaking, be more likely than men to tell the truth in court. She has fear of the weapon called the law. It is prac- tically an unknown force to her. It is with her, therefore, potential for the truth.
 That there is too much falsehood in human life is distressingly appar- ent It is all too much a part of our social existence. To some extent we may say it is enforced by conditions, but it is also all too much due to a lack of proper moral training. It is the natural bent of the child mind to evade the truth when the act has been naughty and by concealing the truth to eyade reproof and possible punishment That is the basic work of the lack of moral obligation in re- gard to the truth in all society. l believe that a good, sound spanking, administered intelligently, with proper spirit, at the proper time, with kindly and proper explanation, would vastly lessen the evasions, lies and perjuries of all phases of life Proper discipline in his early youth would probably have had such effect upon MT. Taylor that he would have never thought of the statements so antipodal to truth which he made in regard to women as eomDared with men,"
