they were amended to fit Hawaii it

IDEAL MAN OF MRS. RICHARDS

Barbara Kent Takes Exception to Statements Of Woman Who

ant-Colonel Richards, I. M C, who is suing for divorce Mrs
Richards claims that the people Of this country take more care in the breeding

1t is a severe charge to make. an should certainly be rebuked By the
women, who know better. We all realize that men ire lot perfect and have
much to ANSWER for, nut to ash that they should be temperate in all things is
really asking a little too much. s 4E2
Mrs. Richards says they only are temperate who keep early hours, do lot
smoke, drink, Tor have any other vices -
Are there ny such men? Would W appreciate such men? Would they
be successful in the business world?
You n 1 know that thu successful business man Of today must be IN "an-

that we should ask len to be temperate in living. They mus not ovenndulge

from the things all men enjoy. I do no think that many such men is Mrs.

OUR STATE IN 1851 AND NOW.

Our Trenton contemporary, the Times, has found a official State report of
1851 giving al estimate of the States ic con and expenses for the succeed
ing year. The probable income was $Ms 1888 and tbs expenditures $780, SOB Al
The Times compares these figures with he estimate for the present fiscal
year Of s4~iSO of receipts and the toal expenditures available of about
s60OOOO The population in 1850 as the Times shows, was 4S9@, and in 1905
it was 214414S. al Increase greatly below that of the income N expenditure
But the comparisons of State population and expenditure for the two periods
really las no significance. State government costs n more to the people now
than it did more than half a century ago, and people get more for their
money. They live much better, they have better schools, better public utilities
better conveniences Of all kinds. They have what were almost unknown
then-pubhc libraries public parks, wen-appointed hospitals and asylums. II
1852 the expenses OF the State were paid by the people Of the State. Now the
Stat government is maintained by taxes o m foreign corporations inc oil prop
ey created by the enterprise Of foreign capitalists When We sigh for the
