FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

This is the day that we make good
resoiutfons-many OF US at least-and
then get ready to break them. Some
wise philosopher has said that this sort
of thing is most destructive of character
in that each resolution made and broken
weakens the moral system. The natural
inference. of course, is that the philos-
opher believed it better TO make no reso-
utlons at ali than TO make and break
them.
This may be excellent philosophy. but
think there may be a word or two that
can be said on the other side In the
first place the man or woman who knows
of some custom or habit that it is wise
to discontinue and never makes a move
in that direction IS quite certain never
to improve. The resolution taken, per-
haps. on the spur Of the moment or be-
cause the day of the year has come when
it is fashionable to make resolutions, may
not keep alive twelve hours, but the
mere fact that il has been made proves
that the maker Is awake to the existence
of his fault That in itself is certainly
something.
Besides. one can never tell when the
inoculation Of new determination may
take. Therefore, let us not altogether
desplse the resolution maker, although
past experience may warn us that there
is every probability that the practical re-
suit may be nothing.

CONSTITUTES LAW
FOR CANDIDATES
Assistant Attorney General Renders
Opinion as to How They May Pay
Money to Newspapers.

Assistant Attorney General I. B.
Knickerbocker, in an opinion, has
construed the provisions of the di-
rect primary law in regard to the
manner in which candidate for
public Office may pay money down to
a newspaper during his candidacy.
Mr.. Knickerbocker summarizes his
conclusions in a final paragraph as
follows:
"A fair construction of our direct
primary law, so far as the same per-
tains to newspapers leads to the con-
clusion that said law does not pro-
hibit a newspaper from selling its
advertising space, under certain re-
strictions, but does prohibit a news
paper from selling its influence and
thereby deceiving its readers as to
its motives in advocating the election
or defeat of a candidate for nominal
tion at direct primary election.
In constituting section rs of the
law, Mr.. Knickerbocker holds that
moneys paid by candidate for nom
ination under the provisions of our
direct primary law, either directly
or indirectly, by himself or through
another, to a newspaper or magazine
issued at regular intervals, such as
daily, weekly or monthly, in order
to promote the nomination of such
candidate, are not personal expenses,
and that the legislature intended to
prohibit such payment, even though
such payment were made for the
publication of simple three-line an
OOuncpmnnt Of caOdidacy under fha
statement paid advertisement
THAT, however, neither this para
graph nor any other paragraph or
section of our direct primary law pre-
scribes any penalty for the payment
to a newspaper by a candidate of
the regular newspaper advertising
charges, for the publication of an an
nouncement of candidacy over the
signature of the candidate but with
out newspaper comment, or for the
