License Clerks Testimony.
G. H Ruedi, who has acted in the
capacity of marriage license clerk at
the city hall for six years. aligned
himself On the women's side Inas-
much as he has TO ask every appl-
cant for his or her age, this would al
mest seem to put an end TO further
0ASCLoS4O1 IL lutIC Is OuC SuDlCCl
upon which a woman is tender, it is
her age From time immemorial she
has considered II her special privilege
to make use of a sliding scale in this
respect As a schoolgirl she delights
in adding on one or two years. and
when the score and ten mark is
reached she stops counting altogether
Mr. Ruedi was unqualified in his as
sertion that women are more honest
than men His great trouble he de-
clared, was with young girls under
age who were obsessed with loves
young dream They did not seem to
have any scruples, he said, about add
ing a year or two to their ages when
it was palpab1e they had not reached
the age of discretion established by
statute
1t viii be a surprise to many to
learn that men are not exempt from
weakness in regard to their age. Mr..
Ruedi said he frequently had cases
where men, in the presence of friends
and neighbors, without the least con-
Germ, deducted from five to ten years
| from the number of summers which
had passed over their heads
James H. Smith, chief of detectives
when asked his opinion, quickly di-
vided women with criminal tendencies
| into two classes. Into the first he put
the woman who was brought before
him as a result of her first venture be-
yond the pale of the law. As for the
professional wonfan criminal he
showed little mercy. He stated that
men, no matter how hardened, when
they found the evidence so strong
against them as to render their case
hopeless, usually came out with the
truth With the woman criminal the
department has to overcome all the
artifces which she uses to battle the
/ sleuths
Says Women Are More Honest.
AS a rule said Chief Smith "the
women that stoop 10 the minor crimes
are not in the professional class, and
when confronted with proof of their
wrongdoing readily admit their guilt.
The same can be said of men, though
to a lesser degree. 1t is my opinion
that under ordinary circumstances
women are much more honest than
men
When it comes to professional Grim
inals, however, women far outdistance
men in their dishonesty. They are
more shrewd and crafty and exceed

ing unless they have good and sufh-
cient proof to back up their assertion.
There is always looming up in the
background the fact that some day
there will be an accounting, and un-
less they can make good the state
ments, they are likely to suffer q
thrashing or even worse.
Question of the Affections.
Then there enters into the question
a woman's temperament She is given
to- violent prejudices, and is equally
as ardent in her affections
No quotation from Shakespeare is
more familiar than Hell hath no fury
like a woman scorned-" Then in the
Bible occurs this passage, 1T is better
to live on the housetops than in pal
ace with a brawling woman" These
passages, brief though they may be.
show that the question was probably
thrashed out many time, not only In
the dim past, but also in the days of
the bard of Avon
Have you ever been at a friends
house and while there have your
hosts brother or husband become in
volved in an argument with a bill col
lector or some other unwelcome Wis
itor? Then you have witnessed the
sister or wife sometimes go to the as
sistance of the man Did you ever
notice how soon she is taking part in
the dispute, and how ready she is to
back up any statement he may maker
She will seize every opportunity to aid
him and will enlarge upon the truth
until it sometimes brings a smile TO
the face of both men
Emotion Cuts Large Figure.
1t is common occurrence for a
man escorting a woman to unwittingly
be a party to a disturbance and when
the police appear and begin to Ques-
ton everyone who seems to know any
thing about it, who is it that chips in,
when the first query is put to the man,
and declares that they know nothing
of the trouble? Did you ever see a
man trying TO answer a question in a
coherent manner, with an excitable
woman on his ARM Have you not felt
sorry for him, while he was trying TO
calm his companion, and prove at the
same time he was innocent of any
wrong-doing?
1t cannot be denied that under the
stress of excitement or emotion, a
woman will not hesitate at mere per
verting of the truth She is intensely
loyal to those she loves. and when
they are in danger or threatened with
| disgrace she will not let anything e
stand in her way to render what aid
she may Such a spirit may well be
praised, rather than censured-
Would a man make such sacrifices
Even though he professed to have ar
undying affection for a woman viii he
deliberately lie to get her out of

T. LOUIS.-Ignoring senti-
ment and considering the
- question totally without re-
gard to the position woman
occupies by reason of her
sex. can it be said she is
less honest than man? It's a subject
calling for rare diplomacy
Several years ago a ST Louis law
yer. at the time holding office, made so
bold as to publish a statement in the
Affirmative He made a cold dispas
sionate analysis of the character of
woman and gave what purported to be
proofs in substantiation of his asser
uon- He was buried under a storm
of protest and finally receded from his
position
More recently a Cleveland judge
sought to show that men possessed
more inherent honesty than women
Forthwith he was swept from his feet
by a wave of popular indignation De
nunciations were heaped upon him in
every section OF the country and at
last. in despair. he denied in toto all
be had said.
The question Of a woman's honesty
as compared TO that of man is one
which has puzzled philosophers for
ages In every civilized country it has
been argued pro and con and never
has any definite conclusion been
reached The agitation started by the
Cleveland judge eliminated in Paris.
where. after devoting columns TO the
subject, IT was decided by one of the
papers that women were not less hon
est An English publication in passing
Judgment declared man was the more
honest of the two sexes. Opinion is
widely diversified. And so. too, is the
question. It must be considered from
every angle, declares a writer in the
St Louis Republic
1t would be utter foolishness to Ques-
ton the honesty of woman of culture
end refinement, in a comparative
sense with sot whose few remaining
faculties were occupied with the sole
idea of how to get the next drink.
And the same would apply between a
woman who had reached the bottom
of the social scale and a man known
TO be of sterling honesty and integ-
rity-
Test Must Be Fair One.
To render an opinion which would
stand dissection il would be necessary
to choose with great care two sub
jects whose mental and social qualif-
cations are on a par Then. with due
allowance for the constitutional differ
ences between the two sexes they
should be studied. and. unknown to
themselves, put to the test Such a
proceeding would entail much time
and even then might be fruitless. so.
in an endeayor TO get some idea of
how the question IS regarded in St
Louis. a number Of men whose daily
life brings them in contact with both
sexes were asked for their views
The majority of the men approached
proved ardent champions of the weak
er sex and were inclined to look upon
digressions more in the light of in
consistencies and vagaries rather than
anything having TO do with their hon
esfy It was acknowledged that they
were prone to draw upon their imag-
nations and probably in the course of

MARINES HURRYINC'
TO NICARAGUA
VIII Be Landed at CorintO to
Protect Americans.

Corinto, Nicaragua, Dec. 20-The
dispatch of the United States cruiser
Buffalo, with 700 marines aboard, from
Panama TO this city, is expected to
have an adverse influence on the can
didacy of Dr. Jose Madriz to succeed
Zelaya as president of Nicaragua. The
Buffalo is now speeding here from
Panama and will probably reach here
in a day or two. 1t is announced that
the marines will not be landed unless
Americans in Managua or their prop
erty are menaced The recognized OPP
position of the American government
to Madriz by reason of his close affili-
alton with Zelaya has already had a
tendency to check the Madriz enthu-
siasm and it is said that this will
cause the Nicaraguan congress to
choose another man for the position.
The other man mentioned is DR.. Jul
ian Irias, another friend of Zelaya but
not so closely allied with the former
president Irias would probably be
acceptable as president to the
American government, but hope is
still entertained that the United States
will yet recognize Provisional Presi-
dent Estrada.

damages for breach of promise.
Clark's petition recites that when

year he met Miss Vedder, who was in
that city enjoying the festivities incl
dent to the visit of the ships He
overstayed his leave and rejoined his
ship at Monterey, she promising to
marry him when he left the service
Accordingly, he says, when his term
of enlistment was up, after completing
the world voyage, he left the service
Sept. 6 last. On Nov. 25 he reached
Pasadena to claim his bride, but Miss
vedder told him she was going to mar
ry another man.

From this time until the legislaturn
meets in January, 1911, to select hi5
successor Mr. Dcpew will exert every
legitimate etTor, to retain his seat.
His term will expire March 3, 1911.
The Roosevelt shadow does not per-

alarmed concerning his candidacy. At
present he Is sending literature to
every corner of New York state. He
is talking with every young lieuten-
ant that drops in to see him. He Is

in New York to stand firmly by him
and not be scared away by the men

senate are good. They declare he will
have the active support of the rail-
road, insurance and banking interests.
