THAT WORD OBEY"
By EDWIN A. NYE.

Slowly. but surely. the word ''obey"
Is being eliminated from the mar
riage service.
That word belongs to a time when
woman was considered mans inferior
and was little more than slave In
contributing to his welfare.
Now woman has found her place
side by side With man.
Today. in America. woman is on
equal terms with man save only as to
her right to vote. 10 put the question
of obedience to her at the marriage
altar is to ask her TO do what she has
no serious intention of doing.
Why ask her to be dishonest?
Marriage in its best terms is equal
ity. 1t is or ought to be a full part
nership. To ask one Of the equal part
ners to obey the other is to destroy
the partnership or make a farce OF it.
Either the word should be cut out of
the ceremony or the bridegroom should
be asked to make a like promise.
Back in the stone age man wooed
his wife with club. Obedience on
her part and tyranny on his was the
prevailing CUSTOM.
The wife was q mere chQttel.
Something of like relation still
maintains in some European countries.
Even In our own Ia VS.. copied so large
~ from the common law of Engla nd.
are remnants of the old idea that WON
an must always be under somebody's
tutelage; that she is always and for
ever child and needs legal guardian
ship. ...-..... ........
The idea Is a relic Of absolutism.
In America we began by declaring
all men equal. We are ending by de-
clarins all women equal to all men.
And everywhere throughout the
world. even IN such benighted places
as India. Persia and Turkey. woman Is
finding her proper place. Once denied
education and subordinated as the
plaything Of man. she Is coming to be
his equal.
Marriage Is the union of equals.
Instead Of handicapping the woman.
she should be permitted to contract on
equal terms. Man and wife should
Get be obedient to each other. but

The Cost OF Fires.

Fires cost the country $500, 600, 600
each year. About s195. 600, 900 OF this
goes to insurance companies, who
hand back some $95 ,O00. 900. Then the
fire departments of the country cost
$500, OOO,0 900, paid for people who feel
comfortable and secure with fire de-
partment. The most of this $6OOOOO,-
600 loss is, entirely unnecessary. Be-
sides the cost of the precautions to
extinguish fires the actual annual per
capita loss in the United States from
conflagrations Is now $3.50. while In
Europe 1t is less than 33 cents. In
1907 something like $615, O00, 900 worth

He proposes to secure the power
for the operation of the trains from
the waters of Salt river. This little
stream furnished steady flow of
water all the year round, and his
plan is to establish turbine wheels
in the river making use of the cur
rent. BY this means he proposes
to generate electricity in large
quantities. He will also sell cur
rent to local parties for lighting
and as a motive power for light
machinery. Doubtless his idea
will work out as the turbine wheels
have been very successful where
ever placed in a steady, smooth
flowing current of water. AS his
railroad develops he will doubtless
furnish current to many of the
towns and villages accessible for
municipal lighting Mr. Funk is
farmer and has devoted about a
year to promoting the electric road.
He has made hundreds of personal
visits, and there is hardly a school
house or a picnic ground in all the
territory contiguous to the propos-
ed right of way where he has not
addressed an audience. The road
is expected to be put down at a
cost of about $25,OOO per mile.

Senator McAllister has introduce
ed in the senate a bill to require
railroad companies to furnish the
railroad commissioners means of
inspecting the railroad tracks and
bridges instead of these state Off
cials being compelled to beg a train
and become the guests of the Off
cials of the road on these official
trips. Track inspection on a spec
ial train, surrounded by every lux
ury that railroad money can fur
niSh has been an absolute farce
The law requires that the commits
siOner shall inspect the tracks and
bridges, which is very essential,
without providing any lawful
means of making the inspection.
The McAllister bill should pass
without a dissenting vote. And
then the tracks should be inspect
ed in a business way.

HIGHER TARIFF
Payne Bill Dictated by New Eng
land Manufacturing Interests.
Chicago, ILL.,, March IS, 1909.

Chicago, ILL.,, March rs, 1909.
Dear Sir: AT the close of the
last presidential election the Chica-
90 Daily Journal called your atten-
ton to tariff revision. and to what
we could expect in that line from
Serene E. Payne, chairman of the
committee who drew up the bill
now before congress- The Payne
bill has been denounced by all the
leading newspapers Republican as
well as Democratic) as an outrage
against the American people, par
ticularly the middle class of the
western states.
1t is needless for us to 60 into de-
tails; it is enough to say that this
bill was dictated by the manufac-
turing interests of the New England
states; consequently we may ex-
pect nothing but tariff revision up
ward, for the benefit of Eastern in
terests only.
The burden of tariff tax that the
western people are now under is
stupendouS. 1t is tax that takes
bread and butter out of the mouths
of western voters, shoes off their
feet; gloves off their hands.
Surely, we are not going to stand
by and see this deception, this so
called tariff revision railroaded
through the house.
The Chicago Daily Journal will
fight this measure to the last. Let
us get together and combine our
forces against the common enemy;
let us build up a sentiment that
will be so strong, so powerful, that
our congressman will not dare vote
yea" when this bill is put up for
their vote.
