THE SUBTLE FEMALE.
How She WheedIes and BulIies the
Poor Man Creature,


AS woman gradually impressed upon
man the futility Of strutting around in
finery and the necessity of being prac-
tically useful his garb has become more
and more sober and workaday in ap-
pearance. EthnOlogists tell us that
the decorations Of primitive man were
intended to fascinate feminine eyes
but woman presently began to make
1t clear that she was not hunting for
"a fine, snowy article" but something
solid and plain and useful, warranted
to stand wear and tear. AS for the or
namental role, she was going TO repre-
sent the family herself In that line.
In fact, when one reflects how man
has been stripped Of gauds and whee-
died out of his flipperies one by one,
one cannot help feeling tender pity
for this victim of feminine self aggran-
dizement. Poor, timid trembler! A
vague. general fear of the female sex
haunts him. Afraid Of being married
against his will, he is circumvented by
some subtle female creature who makes
him think that 1t is his will to marry
her. An observer remarks that a man
very often in running away from the
right woman runs straight into the
arms of the wrong woman. And the
wrong woman, that great opportunist,
is always waiting there to block his
headlong fight and switch 1t toward
the altar.--New Orleans TimesDemo-

He had not set foot in Chicago, he
declared, for nearly two years.
Clarence ]. Shearn, attorney for
the defendants, submitted a retrac
ton printed on the day following
the publication of the original story,
as evidence that the libel had not
been committed with malicious is

the witness and secured from him
an admission that while he had

that knowledge had in reality becI

Berlin, Jan. SIT Is reported in

less and live in a simpler manner

The imperial family will spend
more time at the new palace in

imperial household, announces tha'
the number of court festivities will
be somewhat less numerous this sea-
son than during previous winters.
The reports that the emperor de-
sires to sell some of his castles
is confirmed. Since the emperor
has afty-two provincial residence,
there are some which he cares
nothing for and one or two that
he has never even visited.
The projected economies are an.

up during his twenty years In office,
has had the support of the Republi-
cans of Ohio. They have endured its
existence because they knew full
we'll that upon 1t largely depended
the success of their party In the elec-
tions. Governor Harris, within a
week Of the time for him to retire
from the office OF governor, has dis
covered that this machine, this
bureau of alleged expert account
ants, is nothing more than a leach
which has been applied to the veins
of the taxpayers and In his parting
shot, he does not hesitate to say so.
He virtually recommends that the
bureau be wholly wiped out and that
a substitute be provided. Governor
Harris has been governor OF Ohio for
two years and better and not until
within the hast week of his term
did he discover that this pet bureau
of Auditor Guilbert's was working an
injustice upon the people. He may
have discovered It sooner than that,
but he did not have the courage to
speak out in meeting and tel the
people what he know.
In making these declarations, Gov
ernor Harris has clearly demon
strated to the people that they made
no mistake in electing Judson Har-
mon TO the goyernorship. If it he
true that Governor Harris has just
discovered that there were irregu-
larities i'm the state offices at Co
lumbus and that the bureau over
which Auditor Guilbert has control
was only a public bloodsucker
then ne Is too slow man to have
at the head of the government of
the state and If he has known these
things and has waited until the last
mtnute to tell the legislature and the
people these things which they have
known fer years, then he is not pos
sessed of that courage which should
characterize the man who holds in
his hands so closely the welfare OF
the people. Again, If he is saying
these things at this time just to pre-
vent Judscn Harmon being given any
of the glory, he is too firmly a hide
bound partisan to serve the whole
people, and If he defended these men
and these things upon the stump
during his campaign for fear the
machine would turn against him,
then he is too dishonest to be en-
trusted with the power which is
vested in the governor.
In many ways, Governor Harris
will retire from the office of gov
enor, one of the most unpopular
men who has ever filled that office
and with all thinking men, this last
effort of his should only add TO that
unpcpularity.

THE ELEVENTH HOUR

After having made feeble effort,
during his entire campaign for the
governorship, to defend the men
whose records were pulling him down
and contributing more than anything
else TO his defeat, which seemed
smost certain from the very first,
Governor Harris, within a week of
athe day upon which he must retire
from the office of governor which he
acquired by accident, has come out
publicly and admitted the very
things which he denied. During the
campaign, it will be remembered
that the most effective argument
(which was used against the Repub-
Hicau nominee was the fact that he
thad entirely overlooked the condi-
stion which was pointed out TO him
lin the conduct of certain state Of
sfices at Columbus. These things
were thrown into his teeth every day
sand every hour in thee day and only
ON a few occasions did he try to de-
fend himself by declaring that there
was nothing wrong in the state
treasurer and state auditors offices
In his message OF Monday TO the
general assembly, Governor Harris
frankly admits that the practices
which have been going ON in those
offices are irregular and that the
Legislature should Immediately take
steps TO correct them and 10 throw
such restrictions about these offices
that the officials viii not have such
a wide scope.
II is to be hoped that the governor
general assembly. But coming at
ssuch late hour and under the con-
ditions. 1t leads to the suspicion that
ihe fact that & Democrat is soon To
flbe made governor and another is TO
take the office OF state treasurer may
GhaVe had something to do with the
rgoVernohs recommendation. The
fuuestiOn arises whether the governo.
would have sent the same kind Of a
message TO the general assembly had
he been going to succeed himself and
had Mr.. Green been successful in
handing the state treasurer's office.
sGovernor Harris knows full well
what position Judson Harmon will
talne ON these subject. He knows
that there Will be no fooling with the
peoples money while he Is governor
and he probably wants to take some
OF the glory for having advised this
reforms.
Another thing with which Governor
Harris takes a fah out is Auditor
