This is the deliberate opinion OF
DR.. Katherine Davis, Phi. D., Univer-
sity of Chicago, superintendent Of
the New York State Women's Retor-
matory, and the holder Of half dozen
degrees from foreign universities.
~ say emphatically,' said DR..
Davis in an interview, eff it is i'm
possible for men to Live bv the same
standards which civilization requires
of it's women, then let us establish
an open system of polygamy.
"Let a man be married to as many
wives as he can support. Let the
women who err with men be not the
outcasts Of society, and let their chill
dren be given the love and care, and
opportunity that every human being
coming into the world deserves. Would
this not be infinitely better than our
present system and its moral rotten
ness7
"The cause of the crimes vommf-
ted bv the great majority of women"
she continued, els the fact that there
is one set of morals for men and an
entirely different standard for women.
In the New York State Reformatory,

there are between 800 and 400 women,
there are few who are not the victims

standard.

the complete tolerance, if not with
the approval Of society, while women
go to a ruin from which they can
rarely be reclaimed, and Jul found

this would be the establishment Of an

FAMOUSBOBTAYLO
Nominated by The Regular
Democrats of Tennessee.
WILL STUMP STATE FOR GOV.
Convention Rejects Proposition to
Refer Prohibition Question to Peo-
ple-Taylor Only Name Presented
For the Nomination.

Nashville, Tenn.-United States
Senator Robert L. Taylor has been
nominated for Governor by the regu-
lar Democratic convention, although
his senatorial term does not expire
until 1912. No other name was pre-
sented to the convention, the demand
bling for Taylor and no M else.
Senator Taylor appeared in the
convention hall and after an ovation
accepted the nomination. In the
main the convention, which was
largely attended, was harmonious
throughout, though there was a little
breeze when Senator Tolott endeav-
ored to have the platform amended
as to the liquor question. The Toilet
amendment provided for a reference
Of the liquor question to a vote of
the people, but the amendment was
finally voted down, the original plat
form being adopted, the. temperance
plank reading as follows:
"The Democratic party has at all
tim:s been the consistent friend of
temperance reform in Tennessee and
other Southern States.
"We, therefore, declare that the
temperance question should not be an
issue in a gubernatorial campaign.
"The great controlling issue in this
campaign is whether Tennessee shall
be turned over to a boss-ruled Re-
publican machine in a bargain by
which the public offices Of this State
are sought to be treated as mer-
chandise for. barter and sale between
politicians and party bosses. The Re-
pudiation of this humiliating attempt
to barter away the honor of the State
is the first duty of every patriotic
Tennessean.'
The platform is mainly devoted to
State affairs. Senator Taylor will
take the stump.

STANDARD CUTS OIL PRICES
Reductions Made in Campaign to In
crease Use of Kerosene.

New York;. l, c. Clarke,
through whom the Standard Oil
company makes its official announce
ments to the public, has issued a
statement to the effect that the COM
pany has entered on a thoroughly
mapped out campaign to increase the
consumption Of kerosene in Euro
pean countries and the lands Of the
Orient. The first move in this cam
paign is the reduction of the prices
Of oil in those countries, Mr..
Clarke's announcement says in part
"The Standard Oil company has
inaugurated a campaign to increase
the worlds consumption of refined
oil. The level of prices for refined
oil today in the United States IS
lower than at anytime during recent
years., and as a direct result of
these prices the consumption of re-
fined oil in this country is increas-
ing. The same policy is now being
actively pursued abroad"
AS indicated by this statement,
the Standard company began trying
out the policy of lower prices in the
United States, though without an
nouncing that it had in view a cam
paign that would cover the world. In
August the price Of refined oil in
tanks was reduced from 61-2 to 5l-2
cents a gallon, and the price of re-
fined oil in barrels at the refinery was
cut l cent, from "a to 1874 cents
a gallon.
