The ScandaImonqer.

The Georgia Legislature has passed
a law making the retailing of scandal
punishable by confinement in the peni-
tertiary. 1t is extremely doubtful If
that law can be enforced with sufti-
cient uniformity and regularity to
prevent scandalmongering at society
functions, at the weekly sewing circle
or over the back yard fence, but the
fact that it is on the statute books
may deter a few. Every little bit helps
The regulations that have been ruined,
the families separated and the lives
blighted by chattering tongues are
numbered in the millions. The practice
causes more unhappiness than indul-
gence in intoxicating liquors and the
victim is far more helpless, for the vic
tim of the liquor habit can help him.

We cannot refrain from calling the
consider the West as solidly in favor
of revision of the tariff. to the stand
taken by the Denver Republican.
With business in every line active.
with labor employed and capital seek
ing investment in a thousand different
directions, and with the country en-
joying prosperity unparalleled in any
other part of the world. there is moth
ing in the industrial or commercial
situation to demand that radica!
changes in the tariff be made.
The purpose of any protective tariff
system is to raise revenue and pro-
mote prosperity, and when this pur-
citizens is to refrain from interfering

mony of business relations and check
the flow OF trade.
In the midst of the countrys growth
and prosperity it is absurd to assert
that the present tariff rates impose a
srievous burden of taxation. The tax
In any event is trifling 1t plays but
an insignificant part in determining
the price of commodities; and so long
as the present rates permit prosperity
and promote business activity, the
country will care nothing for what the
politicians may say about burdensome
taxation.
These extracts from a paper printed
in a most progressive inland State are
worth more to the country than a
month of debate at Washington. for
they call attention again to the fact
that while the tariff is being revised
the very purpose for which tariff is
levied is accomplished, by the Dingley
bill. Revision has been promised and
revision we are going to have.
but there is still an honest doubt in the
minds of many unbiased students of
the industrial situation as to whether
revision was demanded by any con-
siderable body of the people and as
to whether any revision was necessary.

A Woman's View.

Mrs. Woodrow Wilson in a recent
magazine article has given feminine
fads and foibles such a dressing down
as they have deserved for years, but
never before received. Being a woman
she knows what she is talking about
and the fact that she has the courage
of her convictions is worthy of note.
Mrs Woodrow Wilson has written in
terestingly and well on a variety of
subjects during the last few years and
has easily taken place in the front
rank of women writer's, She is clear
headed, bright and sensible. These at
tributes were revealed in her earlier
works and it is no surprise to those
who have followed her work to find
that she rebels against the latest fash
ion in feminine adornment.
Men marry women for various rea-
sons, leading one being because it
was SO ordained at the beginning. He
chooses the one who is to share his life
with him according to various stand
ards and for varying causes. Some
women are kept from single blessedness
because they have money. others be-
cause they are attractive, others be-
cause they have nerve. Some women
remain single because they get a mis-
taken idea of the value of career,
others because they are unattractive
and others because they sacrifice their
personal happiness for dependent rela-
tives
People get divorced because they
want to marry somebody else-princi
pally, because one party or the other
to the contract is not fulfilling his part
fairly or because of too much interest
in one party of the other on the part
of relatives The second reason covers
a multitude of things and one of them
is the foolish expenditure of money
for raiment that does not adorn. Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson has set forth n few
Of the "ins and outs" of this phase of

Old 1haorx Unset.

In New York there is a tendency to
view the laws laid down by the fathers
with contempt. We have been taught
since childhood that to drink water
with ones meals was injurious. New
York declined to accept this as a fact
and began to experiment A man was
fed on a fixed diet for a period of six
days, and water was tabooed. Then
the victim was fed five days with one
litre of water as a part of the ration.
He drank it while eating the food.
Finally he was returned to the straight
food diet without water. 1t was found
that he gained two pounds during the
water period and that the gain did not
disappear during the eight days of
drought
That is decidedly favorable to the
water and rather upsets the theories
of the past. 1t is only fair to state,
however that the water was not iced
and that the man ate his food slowly
and drank the water only after the
food had been properly chewed, though
not "Fletcherized" The experiment
does not prove that you can rush into
the house, swallow your food in chunks
and wash it down with liquid without
paying dearly for the time saved. The
digestion of ones food is performed
by a defeated adjusted apparatus of
great strength and capable of with
standing a certain amount of abuse.
but like most other things there is a
limit. Ice water is beyond the limit.
