WOMEN

MFRS. MARGARET ALIENS at
iEa tack on women is arousing much
UA indignation among women who
are home bodies as well as those who
are suffragists. Mrs. Allen hit them all,
with cheerful impartiality. She said:
woman as a rule should vote as her
husband does, or lacking husband
should follow the example of her father
or brother Women are too prone to
initiate the butterfly to be good stu
dents of conditions.
women read trashy books, sduander
money on useless display and are chief
supports of back-number churches.
Women are frivolous, dogmatic and
poorly informed"
Mrs. Allen speaks of women as
class. Her generalizations are too
wholesale. There are both men and
women-a-plenty of them-who have
their limitations and their failings, but
to pick out the failings and argue
therefore a sex is unfit for the ballot
would disfranchise the entire human
race.
There's a homely Scotch saying, 1T
taks a kim O. fowk to max a worl."
The failing of the faddist is he-or she
wishes to stamp all humanity with a
common pattern, as if people We're like
the oldfashioned prints of butter
with which farmers wives used to
adorn their guest tables.
And this is equally the drawback of

human beings in the mass, forgetting
that individual instances cannot he ac-

twelve years. Look at the property
laws in regard to women. A visitor
from another planet would not have to
be told that men made the laws for
men. Woman suffrage may or may
not purify politics, but 1t stands to rea-
son that woman would not vote in the
interests of men and against her own
interests, The enfranchisement of
women Is the only fair and Just way.
No, the average woman is not a wor-
SHIPPER of royalty, and the government
is in no danger of becoming a mon
archy through the votes of American
women. 1t does, however. stand in
some danger from the votes of foreign
born men. JAMES JORDAN.

ENTERPRIslNG ROBBERS

The Ledger appeared in the limelight
in connection with the recent train
holdup at Benicia, as several sticks of
dynamite were found by the detectives
wrapped up in recent issue of this
paper. This shows that the robbers
were men who desired to keep in touch
with what was going on in this coun-
try. OF course this is a plausible rea-
son for supposing the editor was one
of the bandits and secured a large slice
of the plunder.-Antioch Ledger.

An accident like that reported from
Walla Walla, Wash, should end capi-
tai punishment. To choke and shock
to death men guilty of murder does
not lessen the number of murders.
Therefore the punishment is merely
vengeful, not at all preventive. and
the ethics of modern scientific crimi-
nology puts the ban on vengeful
punishments on the ground they are
crime breeders.

CARRYING TIE FLAG

The trip of Roosevelt through Eu-
rope has served to make the American
flag known to thousands who had
never seen it before, and as it is con-
nected with him, in whom evidently the
masses see the triumph of democracy,
it is conceivable that one of the re-
suits of his journey will be not to es-
tablish a monarchy in the United
States. as Henry Watterson fears. but
to increase the number of democracies
in Europe, or at least the democratic
spirit abroad.-Sacramen Union.

Heat Yesterday
BY TIP WRIGHT,

RICKiS TRAINING CAMP. Reno,
June 27.-Although Jack Johnson
wants to keep up his weight and
yesterdays hard work in the boil
ing sun put a crimp in this ambi-
ton. He announced today that he
will carry out his usual program,
doing about eight miles on the road
and then tearing into his sparrlng
partners for eight rounds of fast
work.
The big negro evidently felt the
heat yesterday and though he
pounded out eight miles over the
blistering roads and spared before
the crowd that gathered at his
quarters, 1t was apparent that he
was trifle listless and that he was
not as full of pep" as he had been
at Seal Rock training quarters.
In fact, the close critic yesterday
would have declared Jacks work
just a trifle sloVenly. His move
ments were lazy and the earnest
ness that was expected to mark his
work did not put in its appearance.
With the fight just seven days
away Jack says he will go through
the hardest program of the training
season. He will not end his hard
work until the very last moment,
his trainers declare, and he will
throw as much vim into ii as posi-

ROTTEN
SERVICE

AS an instance of the need of
better service on the Mantle line OF
the Traction company, it is shown
that last Tuesday afternoon the car
leaving Wall and Riverside at 5:25
registered Ill passengers, whereas
the seating capacity Of the car was
AZ. This is certainly crowding peo-
pie like sardines in a box in order
that the greed of the corporation
for larger dividends may ~
peased. -
Since the Hill interests have
taken over the Inland system and
the Spokane Traction an order has
gone down the line that the differ
ent properties must be made to re-
turn dividends at all cost. The first
step was the raising Of the rates on
the Occur d'Alene line, and then fol-
lowed the effort to crowd the city
car lines so as to get returns.

three. They take things as they
come. without complaining, just as
they take" and love their poor,
little, worried tailor father, who
cant make very much money, and
their mother, who gets awfully tired
of poverty, sometimes.
1t was pretty hard for everybody
about a month ago in the Gladstone
home. The little girls heard their
father and mother talking nearly all
night. In the morninf their mother
went away to get work for herself
But Birdie has something besides
curls and a pretty face, as has al
ready ben said. She's got what
men would call sand" There were
the two rooms to take care of;
there was Edna's hair to curl and
face to wash, and her lunch to get
That night when the poor, tired
little tailor got home he found the
table set and ON it the evening meal
bread whihc Birdie had made by
mixing flour and water. 1t was
burned on the bottom; it was soft
on top and within it was dough. But
it was little girls very best and
the wearied tailor man sobbed as he
kissed her and then sat down and
ate some of the bread, just to show
that it was better than any bread
the richest man in the United
States could have.
Every day the little tailor
worked; every night he hunted for
his wife, after Birdie and Edna had
gone to sleep.
One day newspaper man heard
about BRIDES bread He talked to
her and then put story, something
like this one, into his newspaper.
That night the mother, who read
the story, rushed into the two little
rooms and over to the bed where
Birdie and Edna lay asleep and just
deliberately woke them up with
kisses. Then she kissed the poor,
little, tired tailor man and said:
Papa, Id rather stay here with
you and them and be poor"
Some of the wrinkles went out of
the little tailor mans face for mo-
ment, and he threw his arms around
her and kissed her and was happy.
Now the Gladstones are all to-
gether again, fighting the same old
battle against poverty. living in the
two little rooms and wearing the
same old clothes and waiting for
the day when mansions won't be
splendid until everyone under the
sun has got at least a little house OF
his own when silk dresses won't be
beautiful until every little girl has
at least got a good, clean Bingham
dress, when the flowersi n cut glass
vases in fine automobiles won't be
sweet and fragrant until every man
and woman and little boy and girl
under the sun has had plenty to eat.
Maybe the story of how little
Birdie did her very best, even when
her father and mother were almosr
ready to give up, will help things
along toward that day. All these
little things DO help, and the day Is
surely coming.
