FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIE w
TWILIGHT CHAT

TWILIGHT CHAT
Is it not quite time to call a halt on
sickly sentiment and listen to both sides
Of the many stories OF crime which are
dished up to the public each day? Is it
not high time that men and women who
have reached an age that warrants us in
expecting some degree OF wisdom, should
understand the laws Of cause and effect,
and take the punishment they deserve
without trying 10 hide behind childish ex-
cuses?
A mother. with a family OF fine chill
dren. loses her head over a married man,
who is utterly lacking in principle, and
knowing all the circumstances she sacrl-
fees her own honor and dlsgraces her
family in the boldest fashion. In the
downfall of the pair, an innocent woman
is made to suffer. the wife OF the man
whose very name Is a source OF envy 10
the miserable cause OF her wretchedness
1t is inevitable that punishment follows
in the wake of crime, and only In rare
cases do men remain faithful to women
for whose unfortunate plight they are
responsible.
The inevitable comes to the woman
who accepts il with protest which ends
In murder. The man pays his debt with
his life, and nobody seems to care very
much. His guilty partner, through her
counsel. is asking the world to condone
the whole wretched business on the
ground that the woman had grave prov
ocation There is plenty OF mawkish sym
PATTY thrown 10 her, but the well-bal-
anced element OF society thinks OF the
injured wife, with her bitter burden Of
humiliation and sorrow, and the other
woman's claim for sympathy fades into
the background.
We are trying hard TO overlook the
CLEARLY marked line between right and
wrong. but It IS there in fadeless colors.
Nobody pretends TO deny the bond be-
tween cause and effect. so that even chill
dren in decent families have some knowl-
edge OF It in their education at home and
AT school The fear Of punishment Is a
wonderful incentive TO good behavior and
those who ignore II do so w!llfully. with
a disregard for consequences. which they
know to be almost certain. Many things
are excused In youth, but OF mature men
and women an ordinary code of morals is
expected.
There is something 10 admire In cour-
age Of any description. and the thief who
accepts his prison sentence with a de-
termination 10 prove himself a little bit
worthy, at least, and the murderer who
goes calmly to his death. command a
degree Of respect which never goes hand
in hand WIKI mawkishness. Winners are
despised even when pitied, and many men
and women are so tired Of the drain made
upon their sympathies that they now re-
fuse 20 know anything OF the wretched
stories. Let US hope the number Of sane
persons will grow. BETTY BRADEEN

THE NEWS BIRTHDAY.
Is One Year Old Today. and Quite a
 Lively YOungster.

The Prescott Daily News is one year old today. On tie Sth day of April, 1907, without warn. ing, and as complete surprise to the citizens of Prescott. the initial number of the Daily ap- peared on the streets, and an. nounced that it had come to stay. 1t announced at that time it's con- , fldence in the appreciation of the lpublic, and felt that our enter. prlsing would maintain it. The success of the venture has ex. ceeded expectations. Its busj- ness has grown to very satis- factory extent and the month just past has revealed patronI age far in excess of any in the history of the paper.
 The paper has kept pace with thegrowth of the town and during It's years career has been able to add many new features to it's business until today it has the equipment necessary to give the people Of Prescott and commun- ity daily paper of which it may be justly proud. It's managers have. in view the addition of sev- eral new features, as well as the enlargement of the paper, that will place it in line with the char acter of similar publications in much larger towns.
 The News points with pride to the many improvements our town has made since it's birth, and mOdestly claims to have giv- en it's encouragement and moral assistance to every enterprise which had for it's object the ad- vancement of Prescott and Neva- da County.
 With the beginning of its second year The Prescott Daily News sees for Prescott much for which to hope. The era of advancement seems to be just dawning, and with a progressive citizenship, an enterprising town, wide-a- wake merchan ts and live city council the strides our little city will make the com ing twelve months will be long and rapid.
 The management was made to feel indeed gratited this morn ing when in the mail received there came a letter reminiscent of the birthday of the Daily News. There was no name signed to the poem, but it was the inSpira-

The Daily in a Reminiscent Mood

My birthday! What gladness in the sound, What an epoch marked the day, When hopes brilliant ray, Gave to 'The News full sway, AS began my daily round. Just one year ago today! day of thought from dawn to close, And many doubt arose, As to whether friends or foes Would launch us on our way Just one year ago today My star of destiny arose, And began to pose, As bearer of Prescott woes, And news of brighter array What hubbub in the town. But luckily some did say, The Daily has come to stay, Others doubtingly said nay As made my daily round Just one year ago all told, As quivered upon lifes brink, How little did you think, That strong and lasting link Would bind us heart and soul Just one year ago today What! Have you thought Of the sorrows wrought Of the battles fought, Along life's checkered way? And too, one year of gladness, To many have been given, As an emblem of Heaven To those who have striven To bring joy out of sadness. Long live the Daily" and with news abound May you have gladness, And never any sadness, And neither any madness, Upon lifes daily round.
