Is THE SINISTER SELFISH

A great deal has been said about the selfishness of the woman who remains unmarried. A discussion this matter always arouses interest and brings out variety of opinions. All of them in teresting and most of them evasive. When is it selfish for a woman to remain unmarried merely to escape the responsibilities of married life, if she allows matrimonial opportunities to go by only because she does not desire the dstraCting cares of the household or wishes to escape the demand made in rearing a family, or because she sets up as more valuable and more to be de- sired, her personal comfort, pretty clothes, leisure moments for her own pleasure, undsturbed and uninterrupt- ed schemes of life. trips. theater par ties and social distractions. she is es- sentially selfish.
 But these are not the motives that prompt most women to remain un- married.
 The woman who remains unmarried for her own selfish interests is the ex- ception and not the rule. There is any number of good and sufficient reasons why a woman may prefer to remain un- married and the old facetious one of never had a chance to do otherwise" is not one of them. Any one of these reasons would entitle this particular class of "old maids to a medal of hon or of unselfishness.
 Some times the woman who marries is the really selfish one because she weds in order to evade the responsi- bilities of caring for herself. and in the protection of some man whom she respects. but for whom she has no deeper affection. seeks the case and comfort she could not earn for her self
 But to return to the unmarried wom- an who can not truthfuIly or fairly be classed as selfish. Usually she does not marry because there is higher personal duty for her to perform. Per haps it is the old folks who reed all of her care and attention; sometimes it is because marriage has only offered itself in the form of a compromise, which, to accept. would lower her own ideals and silence her better self.
 Sometimes it is because she recog nizes in herself or the one man to whom she gives her affection certain qualities. or certain defects. rather. that she is satisfied would make a perfect union impossible. and. therefore, be- cause she fears the tragedy of an un-

Finances and Markets

New York. Dec. 27.-The trend to- ward reaction which dominated last weeks operations in the stock mar ket became rather more pronounced at the resumption of business today and resulted in losses of a point and more severe declines in certain spe- cialties.
 Trading throughout the session was small in volume. If surface condi- l titions may be accepted. the heavi- ness of the market is largely due to aggressive short selling by d profes- sional group. which only recently was more or less conspicuous for the extent of it's commitments on the other side
 The closing of local state bank whose troubles are commonly be lieved to be an aftermath of the panic of 1907. while in no particular sense a market factor. was hardly helpful to the bull accounts. The banks difficulties, however helped to call attention to the latest report of the state banking department, which demonstrates the strong posi- ton of a majority of these institu- tions compared with a year ago.

Current Comment
A LESSON FROM THE WEST.

Judge Ben B Lindsey of the juvenile court of Denver. who is now in New York. has a notion that some strikers in the west have a more accurate sense of the witness of things than has been shown recently by some of strik- CTS in the east. He makes out rath- CT strong case in support of this mo- tion. It seems that between 5000 and 5000 miners are involved in q strike that has been on for the last eight or nine months in the northern Colorado coal fields. Yet you do net hear any thing of it in the east" says the judge. although our papers out west have been filled recently with stories about the expressmen's and the cab drivers strikes in New York and accounts of mob violence in your streets, even in Fifth avenue. the destruction of priv ate property and the murder of an inoffensive citizen" Of course Judge Lindsey know that if the strikes he mentions had occurred in Denver and been as serious as the ones in New York were, we should have heard some thing about them. But he makes a good point when he says that the req son the Colorado strike attracts but lit tie attention is that it is an orderly strike. There has not been even a threat of violence. He says the strik- CTS. who ask shorter hours, and high CT wages. have decent leaders and a splendid organization and as they are law abiding they have the sympathy of the community. Contrasting this Colo rado strike with the one at Cripple Creek several years ago, Judge Lind sey says that the fact that the Western Federation of Miners has nothing to do with this one may account for the difI ference.
 order should he the first law in strikes as in other things. When strikers and those who sympathize with them are disorderly, it should not be difficult for the sane people who argue that the sane way to settle labor troubles is through arbitration to com mand a hearing COurant

is sent him in the present form. Ergo. it is folly to disprove the governors S statement
 And strange as it may seem, this line of reasoning appeals to the in tellectual people who follow the Vein berger leadership.
 We get another good sidelight on the degree of intelligence with which the Weinberger type of statesman is gifted, when we read Mir Weinbergers explanation that
 The constitution of Oklahoma con- tains the initiative and referendum, and they said President Roosevelt would never approve it. yet he did"
 Statesman Weinberger is, of course, ignorant of the fact that the state hood bill for Oklahoma made it MAN DATORY upon the president to issue his proclamation announcing the ad- mission of Oklahoma, if the constitu- ton was found republican in form, and tha: the radical difference be- tween the two enabling acts is that that the statehood bill for Arizona makes it DISCRETIONARY with the president as to whether he will AP- PROVE the constitution. In the Oklahoma bill there was not one word about presidential AP- PROVAL.
 It is true that President Roosevelt was so much opposed to the Okla homa constitution that he endeavored to find authority for withholding his proclamation. He referred the en- abling act to his attorney general. and was advised by that officer that he had no discretionary power in the premises.
 Finding himself helpless in this re- Taft into Oklahoma to make speeches against the ratification of the consti- tuition.
 But, of course. Weinberger's dictum changes the facts VI history
 Furthermore, if we are to believe the wise statemen of the WeinberGer class. when President Taft hears the election returns from Rye. and Pay son. and Tonto Basin in Gila county. and Showlow in Apache county, and Dos Cabezas in Cochise county, and finds that there is a big majority in the whole territory for the constitu- ton. he Twill not dare" to disapprove the sacred document
 Therefore. why find out in advance through democratic sources from headquarters at Washington what will happen to the constitution when it reaches the capital? Doesn't Vein berger know already?

Weinberger, the Wise.

Mir Jacob Weinberger of Globe

"It is all folly" according to Mir. WeiRberger's published in struction to the people, to send a delegation to Washington to ascer- tain the attitude of MT. Taft and of congressional leaders. for MT. Vein berger is sure that the president never told anything of his position to Gov ernor Sloan. The governor is mis- taken in thinking that he learned from the president that the president will disapprove the constitution if it

THE VALUE OF APPEARANCE.

A business man cannot pay too much attention to his personal appearance.
 If he expects to be prosperous he must look prosperous. for in a city many business deals owe their incep- tiOn to an adequate presentation of the subject in the first instance by man who is adequately presentable.
 We by no means advocate foppish- ness or a dandified appearance. except in moderation. To be properly shaved, with well cut hair and clothes not over worn and well brushed and pressed and shoes well shined. means simply a decent regard for ones own personal appearance, and common sense should teach any man presenting a real estate proposition that a man with a yellow

happy domestic life more than she values her personal wishes, she forgoes matrimOny.
 It takes courage of the most heroic kind for a woman to take a stand of this sort, and unquestionably into the act enters all the elements of unselfish- ness.
 So this question of a woman's right to remain unmarried is a very broad one and susceptible of many opinions and decisions, but it is. after all, one that depends upon the individual case under observation for a decision.

News Of the Week From vari.
Gus Parts Of the STATE.
BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT
Minimum Commodity Rate Case
Is Argued.

Whether a state may fix a&mini.
mum rate on a commodity Of inter
state commerce below the cost OF
transportation was the basis for a
rather lengthy argument before the
supreme court of the United States
The legal representatives Of the state
of North Dakota defended the consti
nationality of the state law Of 1907.
fixing the rate on coal, and counsel fol
the Northern Pacific Railway company
attacked it as designating a rate be
low the cost Of service.
Counsel for the state argued that
the reason why the cost of service was
not controlling where a single rate
was involved was twofold. In the
first place, it was commended, it was i'm
possible to determine with anything
like accuracy what such cost Of serv.
ice a In the second place.. there
was no injury to the equitable title OF
the carrier as a result of the cost OF
service not being controlling, as long
as the carrier was allowed ON the
whole to earn a fair profit on the in
vestment in the business.
In the case of the rate on coal it
was argued that it may be entirely
reasonable for the state to put n5force
a low rate for the purpose of develop.
ing a great natural resource by stimu.
lating the purchase of local coal in
place of foreign coal, through the re.
duction in the cost of the former.
Argument Declared illogical.
AS to the argument that the reduc.
tfon of the rate on coal meant an ad.
ditional burden on other commodities
counsel for the state contended that it
was illogicel to speak Of this as rob.
bling Peter to pay Paul." According
to their point of view the subject was
neither more or less than a case of
proper rate classification, with the in.
cidental result that one commodity
sustains a greater weight of expense
than another.
1t was said that the result of a de.
cision in accordance with the conten.
ton of the railroads would be to Grip.
pie seriously, if not practically to de.
stroy, the ratsnaking power of the
nation and of ever state.
'The burden Of proof is upon the
railroads to show that the rate in.
volved will cut down the net earnings
of the railroad from purely interstate
business below the point of q fair
profit" said the states counsel.
On the other hand, the counsel for
the Northern Pacific commended that In
order to be constitutional the rate
must permit a fair amount Of profit
for the railroad.
