The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1910-07-22

Mrs. Clara Shortledge Foltz is the
first woman in the United states to be
appointed 10 the office Of assistant dis
trict attorney. Mrs. Foltz has her
home in Los Angeles, Cal. where she
was made assistant district attorney
several months ago. She is the sister
of Samuel L. Shortledge, who is the
law partner of Delmas. the man who
defended Harry Thaw. Up to the time
of the earthquake her home was in
San Francisco, but when the confagra-
ton which followed the quake destroy
ed it she moved to Los Angeles and
took up the practice Of law there. She
rapidly made a name for herself and
proved so able in arguing cases that
the district attorney finally asked her
to join his staff.
Mrs. FoltZ has q commanding pres
ence and an eloquent and pleasant
voice. Her eyes fash as she speaks.
and she puts strength into every SEN
tence. while her language evidences
wide reading and original thinking
She is not masculine in any sense and
is a stanch antisuffragist. When asked
to give her views recently on the
suffragist question she declared that
frage would be extended to women and
gave as her reason that the women of
the country generally were opposed to
entering a field peculiarly masculine.
Mature itself has decided the suf-
frage question by making man strong
er than woman" she said. Woman
was intended for the home and man
for the battle of life. Woman has her
Own sphere. and it is bounded by the
boundaries of family life. Take away
from woman the power to look up to
man. to regard him as her protector
and guardian, and you take away her
dearest privilege"
Mrs. Foltz has the following to say
about the power Of the district attor-
ney's office: "The district attorney is
not and should not be a prosecutor
pure and simple. because his position
and peculiar relation to the people
make him an officer Of justice and not
a mere avenger of crime.
''It should be his duty and privilege
to see that the scales of justice do not
incline any more to severity than to
condonement. and his aim should be
not to achieve a record number of con-
victions. but rather to bring about the
attainment Of absolute fairness in the
trials in which he takes part"

A Pedauonical TraaedN.

Dorothy is in the fourth grade, and
she gets good marks in everything ex-

ed her why she made such low marks
in arithmetic she replied thus well,
1t is like this: The teacher says, -Four

Orinin of HcraldrY.

According to the highest authori-
ties, heraldry finds it's starting point
in the totemism of prehistoric man.
In the barbaric custom of painting or
carving the totem on oars, the bows
and sides of canoes, weapons. pillars
In front of houses, etc, and In tat
tooing it on the various parts of the
body, we have the real origin of the
insignia that are SO precious to the
upper tendon Of to-day. 1t was in

age that he sprang from a crane or
q bear or some other animal that the
various coat Of arms" of the big

their inception.

Egyptians were having as poor time
with servants as some people in the
United States are experiencing this

roses In the best families of Egypt ow-
ing to this branch of domestic life not
bearing proper fruit. From some an
cient papyri which have recently been
unearthed in a tomb near Memphis
maxims have been deciphered that are
eye openers. The Egyptians must have
had terrible time in their households
when such sentiments as these survive
the centuries: "In sooth thou shalt find
1t hard to satisfy thy servants despite
thy earnest desires. for If thou be
harsh with them they shall say: He is
a cruel master. Lo, we shall go!" Solo

TWO PHONES UNDESIRABLE
SAYS PUBLIC SERVICE BOARD

Delos f. Wilcox, Phi. D. chief of the
Bureau of Franchises of the Public
Service Commission for the First Dis
trict of New York, calls attention to
the impracticability and inefficiency
of dual telephone systems in
treatise upon Municipal Franchises"
which is being published by Roches-
ter, N. Y, publishing house. Mr.. Viii
cox also calls attention to the fallacy
of the idea that a vast telephone sys-
TEN can be suspended instantly be-
cause its franchise expires.
Regarding the dual telephone sys-
tenn the author says:
The effect of two rival telephone
systems in one city is to divide the
population into two parts without
means of telephone communication
with each other except at excessive
cost While a single system promotes
general inter-communication, two sys-
tens make, at impracticable. Two
systems therefore greFy restrict the
utility oythe telsphoHs, seriously i'm

1t is obvious that two systems involve
extensive duplication of plant and or
ganization, which entails a heavy adj
ditional burden of fixed charges and
operating expenses. much of which
would be unnecessary if the service
were performed by a single system
This duplicated outlay, being in ex
cess of the amount really necessary
to perform the service. is an economic
waste. In telephone operation nc
compensatory benefits to users in the
form of lesser cost of service or in
creased efficiency have yet developed
to, justify this waste. The dangers
coming from it are easily seen. Tn
less it is provided for in the charges
exacted from consumers, the capita
investment will be gradually eaten up
In the meantime, as abundant expert
ence in railroad competition ha
shown, equipment will be permittet
to deteriorate, operating expenses vii
be reduced below the proper limit
and the efficiency of service will b
lowered.
I'm the opinion of this Committed
competition in telephone service

HARRISON Wins BY
VERY SAFE MARGIN
His Majority in Mondays Election is
Shown to be One Thousand, Two
Hundred and Thirty-nine.

Gulfport, Miss, Sept. 14.-Nearly
complete returns from the Democratic
primary election in the Sixth Congress
sional District in Mississippi show
that B. P. Harrison, of Gulfport, de-
feated j. R. Tally of Hattiesburg, by
between 1900 and 1900 votes. The
latest figures available give Harrison
a total of 1850 and Tally 6,021 votes.
Harrison's majority over Tally, &C
cording to these figures, is 1899. The
few scattering missing precincts are
mainly in the counties carried by Har-
rison, and the belated returns will
probably increase his majority.
An analysis of the election returns
shows that Harrison carried eight
counties by clear majorities, and tied
Tally in two counties. An interesting
feature of the election was the result
in Pearl River county, formerly the
home of Mr.. Tally, which went against
him by large majority.
The figures show that the Lewis
vote in the first primary was nearly
evenly split between Harrison ant
Tally in the second election.
Harrison rolled up an immense ma
jority on the coast, the three counties
of Hancock, Harrison and Jackson
giving him nearly 1000 lead owe
Tally.
The vote by counties is as follows
