REALLY NO PUZZLE AT ALL.
Erudite Editor Arises to Explain Wig
Women Descend From Street
Cars the Wrong Way.

ut makes us tired" wrote the editor
of the Hickory Ridge Missourian.
when we see some city newspaper
wondering why 1t is that woman al
ways gets off a street car the wrong
way. There amt no mystery about It
at all Our wife explained 1t to us
years ago, and she never rode on a
street car but once In her life, when
she was visiting relations in Kansas
City. A woman gets off street car
backward because she naturally grabs
her skirts with her left hand. That's
constitutional with a woman. Then
she has to grab something with her
right hand to hold on to, and that's
the railing at the rear end OF the car,
so when she steps of she has to face
the wrong way. You cant break
women of that habit unless you make
them get off on the left side of the
street car, and IL you did that it's just
as likely as not they'd be contrary
enough to grab their skirts with theip
right hands. But there amt nothina
strange about the way they get OF
now. Blamed IL we don't think soma
times that some Of the stupidest men

IN D=FEn~E CT The PILLORY
English Writer Shows Some Coo
Points About This Old-Time
Form Of Punishment.

Perhaps one of the few really demo
cratic institutions ever created was
the pillory ] do not say that it was
humane institution, though it was
certainly more humane than our sys-
TEN of silent imprisonment But be-
ing humane has nothing to do with
being democratic. You may have hui
name and inhumane democracies, just
as you may have humane and inhU-
name despots.
The point is that the pillory was a
real appeal to the people. If it was
cruel, II was because the people were
cruel, or perhaps justly indignant.
The people threw dead cats (the less
humanitarian, / believe threw live
cats), but they could throw bouquets
and crowns of laurel IL they liked.
Sometimes they did. yThe argument
about the old public punishments cuts
both ways The publicity was an ad-
ditional risk for the government as
well as an additional risk for the pris-
oner and this is specially true of the
executions for treason. II was NO
small thing that half million men
might possibly treat as martyr a
man whom the king was treating as a
murderer; that the prince had to con-
cede to every obscure ruff1an exactly
what that ruffian probably wanted
most-fame.- G.. X. Chesterton, in
London News.

Michioan and the PAYNE Bill


We may believe with Senator Bur-
rows that Michigan's interests have
been well looked after in the tariff
making.
OF course, in these days of indus
trial combinations, to tell precisely
what are the interests OF Michigan,
or of any other state, involves a more
complicated computation that it did
in the old days. The reasonable
needs of the consumer as well as Of
the producer must be considered. But
