For more than a third of a century
the constitution of Nebraska has per-
mitted candidates for United States

of this privilege for the first time in
1894, when Mr.. Bryan was a candi-
date, but in spite of their devotion to
the principle of Let the people rule"
they refused to make senatorial nomi-
nations.in 1898 and 1900, and in 1904.
In the last named yea Mr.. Bryan was
again a candidate without putting his
name on the ticket, although his
brother-in-law admits to , getting

therefore, of democratic devotion to

ALMOST EDUCATED
BEYOND MARRIAGE

Educated women do not marry
for homes. says Miss Isabella
Austin. dean Of the women az the
University of Washington
Among the uneducated classes
think II II true that mothers
often urge their daughters 70
marry for support In such
families there are girls who must
go out 20 earn their living and they
look upon marriage ms an escape
from earning a livelihood
Among my own friends, the
educated women I know. women
either have not married al all or
when married. they did not marry
for financial advantage.
II think there are fewer mar.
riages among educated women. |
know a great number of educated
girls who have remained single
from choice That sounds like an
argument against n college educa.
ton, but Il Is really an argument
for the ideal marriage.
These women have had oppor.
tunlties to marry, but the edu-
Gated woman does not marry for
the sake Of being married She re.
quires more OF the man she mar
rles, and he must be her intellee-
tual equal. Moreover, when the
educated woman marries. she stays
married. There are fewer divorces
among college marriages than I'm
marriages among any other class
Of people.
THE smart thing for the presi-
dent to do, instead Of bringing his
daughter up 10 depend upon her
fathers provision for her, is to put
her In training for some useful
work and she will be able TO settle

Three Questions Suggested
by Statement Made by

Taft's views suggested three
questions:
Why do women marry-for
homes and support
If all women were financially
independent, would there be
fewer marriages.
Does a profession or business
deter a woman from MARRIAGE
These questions were put to
Seattle women.
