A PERPENDICULAR DENIAL

Secretary Ballinger's denial of the charges against him Is of character to challenge from those who made them the proof of his offences. He ayers that ito say that I ever have advised. aided, or lent support to any effort to perpetrate a fraud upon the government, is not only false, but Is intentionally so, if made by anyone who has taken the trouble to inquire into the facts"
 This requires that the men who have declared that the secretary's as- sosiations were compromising and that he was knowingly aiding combi- nations of capitalists to invade the public domain and to destroy the poll icies of Roosevelt with reference to the conservation of forest and mineral lands in the far west, should drive the charges home. It is up to them to now furnish the evidence bf his guilt and if they fail they can not look to the people for further re- spect or confidence. Careful men do not attempt to undermine reputable officials without having absolute proof of their misconduct or disloyalty. The writers who have assaulted the secre- tary should now make good their aver ments.

How to Honor Washinoton.

It is greatly to be feared that the desire to be president of something or other has more to do with this latest movement to build George Washing ton another monument than any feel ing that he really needs another. George has about monuments enough; that noble structure towering above Washington settled him for long so far as buildings of stone and brick and casts of bronze need go. This latest idea contemplates that the school chil- dren of the country shall contribute their dimes and pennies to the total of some two millions and half, and that out of that there be erected a memorial building in the national cap- ital.
 George has better monument than any ever built of bronze or stone or concrete blocks, one which is grander, nobler and more enduring than any pyramid of Cheops. It is the republic to which he gave shape and substance and prepared to outlast time. If the children of the land would have a hand in rearing a monument to the father of their country, let them be so taught in their schools, so imbued with love of country, so firmly rooted in the essential principles of good govern ment, that when they become men and women every one of them, will be a working factor for the perpetuation Of all that George Washington worked and fought to incorporate into our form of government.-Denyer Repub- lican

THE DIVORCE HABIT.

The divorce habit is disgracefully common and shows no sign of being on the decrease. A record of s,s37 divorces for 1867 against 72.062 in 1908 leaves no doubt that marriage Is getting to be less and less serious and more and more experimental. The government statistical reports show that the evil is still on the increase.
 The government experts calculate that the divorce rate has not yet reached it's maximum. They calculate that not fewer than one marriage in every sixteen will be dissolved by divorce and that the ratio may be even more than that.
 It is shown by these statistics that there are far more divorces, both in number and proportion, granted in the United States than in any Euro pean country. In Japan alone do the figures exceed those of this country.
 The most common cause of divorce is desertion, and this could be checked by the passage of drastic laws mak- ing desertion perilous instead of easy. Uniform and more stringent legisla- ton will be required to make divorce less popular.

AUTOMOBILE LAWS.
And the Progress Toward Uniformity
 in Them.

One of the principal subjects to come before the January meeting Of the American Automobile association in Washington concerns the enactment of uniform laws by the different states governing the operation of motor cars. It is desired by the members of this organization, and it is desira- ble from the public standpoint. that the laws under which machines must be operated should everywhere be the same. During recent years the auto mobile has become increasingly pop ular as a means of long distance trav- el. State lines have disappeared from the autoist's calculations. trip to New York by motor car is looked up- on as nothing much out of the ordi- nary Transcontinental journeys are by no means infrequent.
 The growing popularity of the mo- tor car, particularly in long-distance travel. makes it important that state laws shall be as near uniform as prac- ticable. A motorist who passes through half a dozen states in the course of a single trip cannot be expected to be familiar with their differing laws. He is likely to find himself law breaker without intending it.
 The movement for uniform laws has received a promising start in New England. There Massachusetts adopt ed a code which several of the neigh boring states have followed. By that beginning the campaign to be empha- sized at the Washington conference should receive an impetus. It is, how ever. to be admitted that any pro posal to get the states, or a majority of them, to adopt uniform legislation upon any subject is certain to meet delay and discouragements. As sim gle but sufficient example one may note the difficulty that has attended the yet futile effort to get a uniform divorce code.
 The course of automobile legislation in Ohio foreshadows uniformity of state law. Until last year each com munity was left to regulate the oper- .ation of motor cars. That plan was superseded by the act of the last leg islature which put this authority into the hands of the state. Diverse mu- nicipal regulations gave way to uni form state control. The same tend ency carried a step further, as pro- posed by the American Automobile as- sociation, would bring uniformity of action by the different states.-Cleve- land Plain Dealer

LESSONS IN COURTESY.

This Is novel enterprise which the Philadelphia Times has entered upon to attract attention to itself and to its worth as a municipal factor. The people of the "City of Brotherly Love" need little education in the matter of courtesy to women upon the street cars, so The Times sends out a Court esy Cashier who gives a dollar to every male passenger who has the courtesy to give a woman a seat. The first report is as follows:
 Between 4.45 and 7.15 on Monday afternoon this investigator rode on twenty-eight trolley cars. His instruc- tions were to be fair and to be as accurate as possible.
 "He found that the average number of passengers in each car was 100. On an average forty persons in each car were straphangers, and of these ten were women.
 Each car was crowded when he boarded it. Naturally number of women had been seated through the courtesy of men before his obserya- tions commenced.
 He saw nineteen men arise and give their seats to women. To each of these courteous ones the Courtesy Cashier immediately presented an order upon The Evening Times for s1.
 "An analysis of the total of nine- teen is especially interesting. Seven seats were given to young and pretty women. One seat went to a young woman not at all comedy Four seats were given to women with packages. One was given to a woman with a baby. Six of the nineteen seats were given to aged women.
 When it is considered that of the 260 women who were standing in the twenty eight cars visited by the Courtesy Cashier probably fifty stood near the seats of other women and not near seated men, the showing is not at all bad-for a beginning."-
 This will improve the manners of the sitters, doubtless, for who cannot afford to be polite for a dollar a time; and if the dollar makes a lasting im- pression who shall say that the money has not been well spent?

Queer things are always happen ing to some people" said Perkins. as he laid down the newspaper
 That's so," agreed Merker. His face lighted with whimsical interest There was Darley for example. won't mention the time he walked east instead of west as he had invariably done on leaving his office and hadn't gone three feet when he picked up a two-c carat diamond that somebody had lost. Neither will I say anything about the time he was in a train wreck and helped a fellow passenger who turned out to be a millionaire and married Darley's sister. l pass over the other occasion when street car broke down and made him just five minutes too late to close deal in mine that afterward proved to be a gold brick. However, I will say word about something very curious which happen ed to Darley.
 He was living in a big, old-fash- toned house that had once been a fash ionable home but had reached the boarding house stage. He had room on the second floor in sort of wing with a flat roof all it's own, and he was prime favorite with the land lady because he paid his rent promp- ly and was at home very seldom. His business took him out of the city for days and occasionally for weeks at a time. As a boarder he was nothing but sheer profit so she humored him and Darley stayed on long after the house began to be ramshackly and all most ready for its final end. It has been pulled down now.
 That was what had happened to the place next door. Wreekers had torn it to pieces and a big modern building was going Up in It's place. It loonaed so close to Darley's boarding house that the scant space between made it necessary for the workmen to use the flat roof of the wing where Darley roomed as a means of entrance to certain parts of the new building.
 From the fiat roof a plank bridge spa rl.ed the intervening space and bricks and mortar and cement and concrete were hoisted to the flat roof and wheeled by barrow into the other structure. It was of freproof con- struction and lots of concrete and ce- ment were being used in it. The workman who trundled the first bar row of the stuff across noticed that quite a little of the wet, clinging stuff dropped off the sides, shaken by the motion as the barrow logged over the bump where the plank walk began, but the loss was small and so he did not mind.
