A man may marry such a woman and

On the other hand there are lnnu-
merable women with pasts who are, in
reality, women of great souls and
great nobility of character, but who
have been the sports of malign fate,
There are young girls who, through
sheer ignorance, have Numbered into
taking a first false step and then have
been driven on and on by the scourge
of society that makes it ALMOST I'M

There are girls who have been driven
by poverty and hunger and cold into

These women have been betrayed
by their hearts In reality, they are
the victims of what is best in human
ity-the love that gives without count

blind faith. They are not vicious;
they are simply unfortunate. The life
they are forced to lead has no attrac-

out the stains upon their garments
with their tears
When q man marries a woman OF
this kind. he does not reform her. She
reforms herself, because the lost Peri
beating against the Gate Of Heaven
was not more anxious to enter than
such a woman is to get back within
the safe fold of home.
She yearns with unutterable long
Sngs. for respectability; to associate
again with good women; to have the
mantle of a husbands name thrown
about her; TO have the white things
and the pure things Of life; and in
ninety-nine times out of a hundred,
she worships the man that takes her
out of the mud, and puts her on the
throne Of wifehood as if he were a
demigod, and is as faithful to him as
his dog.
The woman with a past sometimes
has future as wife: and, some
times she hasn't. Whether it is safe
to marry her or not depends Altogether
on how good a judge of a woman a

MAN writes me as follows:
- Your article about a wo-
L \ man marrying a man to re-
form him was very interesting and
true. Now please tell us what
chances the man has who marries
q woman with a past to lead her
into higher and a better life and
into paths of virtue and morality

personally 1 believe that all reform

what we will not do, for the sake Ct
orr own manhood or womanhood, we
are not apt TO do for the sake OF any
body else. Drunkenness, immortality

result of weakness Of character, OF

However as between the influence
that man has over woman, and wo-
man over man, and therefore the abil-
ftv OF one 10 reform the other, mans
is UNNECESSARILY greater As society
is at present. constituted man can do
without the approval of woman, but
woman exists by the favor OF man.
Mans influence Over Woman.
How little woman's influence. in the
aggregate has amounted to over man
may be seen in the fact that for ages
women have been trying to reform
mems vices with so little success that
today there is just as much drunken
ness and immortality as ever, whereas
mans influence over woman Fhas~been
so great that he has kept her, as
sex sober and virtuous-
This general principle holds good in
the concrete case, so that any individ-
ual man has a great deal better chance
of reforming an individual woman
than the woman has the man.
There are many reasons for this One
is. woman's hereditary attitude of
looking up TO man; another. the wife's
dependence upon the husband; another,
that her social position depneds upon
her behaving herself as a wife, and.
again. that she knows that her hus-
band will not overlook her lapses and
take her back, as weakly forgiving
wives do to erring husbands.
Broadly speaking, a mans chance OF
reforming a woman with a past de-
ponds upon the kind of a woman she
is All women who are treading the
primrose path have not come by the
same route. Som have arrived by way

vigorously, or someone else would be
hired in his stead. The editor could not
obey the local inspector because every
editorial in his paper came TO him al
ready written from the imperial press
bureau at Berlin and if the editor had
changed a single word in his own edit
orials he would have felt the heavy hand
of the man higher up This same
editor once reprinted in his local paper
an article taken from a city journal For
that offence he was threatened with
dismissal. The local inspector did not
know that the emperor had inspired the
article. This was the condition OF af-
fairs in 1908. In the last SIX or seven
years conditions have been materially
improved. and there is a genuine indie
pendent press developing in many parts
of the country.
No Respect for Journalists.
Journalism is not respected by the
public, and is despised by the bu-
reaucracy which abuses its privileges.
A journalist in Germany has no social
status whatever A distinguished Amer
lean who visited Berlin a few years
ago was invited to come 10 meet the
kaiser. The invitation was sent by the
emperor himself through the court mar
shall. That mighty functiOnary requested
the American to write down his name.
his address and his profession on a
blank police form which every visitor
to Germany, high or low, must fill out
The American wrote himself down as a
journalist The court marshal took the
slip, looked at it and said: L am sorry
you put journalist Would you mind
writing something else?" The aston
ished American asked; why? I am
a journalist oh" said the court
marshal, journalists are not received at
court" The American remembered
that he had taught a country school 80
years before, so he wrote >~schOOi mas
ter" in the place of journalist" and was
thereby qualified TO receive the honor
able invitation from the kaiser.
1t is but fair TO say that the kaiser
himself\ does not share this prejudice
against newspaper men, or at least he
confines it to the journalists of his
own country, for he has said publicly
that the editions Of American newspapers
are the equals of generals in command
of armies. As a general in command
of an army is the highest position pos
sible Of human attainment in the kaiser $
mind, this was praise indeed.
The Governments Editorials.
Although the government continues to
inspire editorials in the semi official
papers. although the foreign office Still
maintains a press bureau, and although
the imperial government controls absO-
luteiy the only considerable press news
agency in germany. the German press in
the past few years has been fighting
TO free itself from the Shaclzles of bu-
reaucratic domination.

press in calling attention to the scan

The La Mesa Primaries.

La Mesa, n. NJ. Aug. 25.
Editor FL Paso Herald:
In justice to myself permit me TO
state that the absolutely uncaIed for
effusion of E. A Rodgers, published in
The Herald Of the 23d, is pregnant of
so much venom and so devoid of all
truth. that it deserves of no comment
upon my part, beyond stigmatizing the
whole as a brain storm, indeed the
mountain labored and see what mouse
came forth.
B. J. Viljoen.
La Mesa n. NJ, Aug. "a.
Editor Ell Paso Herald:
As one who attended both the
political meetings. held at La Mesa the
+ 18th and 18th inst, il is Impossible to
let the innuendo of E. a. Rodgers as set
forth in The Herald yesterday pass IN
challenged. In the first place had B.
J. Viljoen sought the nomination he
had q majority of the, meeting with
him. In the second place, no man has
striven more earnestly in the past five
years 10 advance the interests of this
valley. and no man has done more to
advertise and help the west side as I'M
sulfishiy as has g. J. Viljoen. He has
earned. as all public spirited men do,
the animosity and jealousy of few, but
l am confident the masses appreciate
and admire him as all decent people
admire courage and conviction.
As TO the incidents, at the first meet
ing referred TO by Rodgers the majority
report of the committee was rejected by
a two-third vote and thereby the dele
cation it suggested.
At the second meeting there were
twice as many citizens present as there
were at the first 1 noticed only one
person from another precinct present
ard he did not vote or participate. A
few Democrats were present, the same
people who also attended ard voted al
the first meeting. Who the Socialist is
TO one here seems to know There may
have been relatives present because
relatives surely havefa right to exercise
their prerogatiye as citizens and if any

not participate.

refused seats at the Republican con-
yention at Las Cruces? They had every

supernatural seemed to have directed

The woman predicted when she COM

on the fortieth day. Her husband
shared her belief. and both spent the
Intervening time in preparation.
During her long fast Mrs. Sackett
was very cheerful and contented,
which puzzled the physicians who at.
tended her. Until three months ago
she had enjoyed good health. but
then was stricken with a bad case of
stomach trouble, and the fast was ne

MAKE MUCH WORK FOR JAPAN
Formosans Are Good FiqhterA. skilled
Msrksmen and Excessively
Patriotic.

Aborigines OF Formosa, who are bs-
ing fought by Japan. possess many in
terestlng traits. A writer in the Japan
Daily Mail says: These people are
childishly superstitious and they place
the most implicit reliance in and &C
cord the most unreasoning allegiance
to their chiefs. Therefore, II they
once make act of surrender their
fealty can be subsequently counted
on. They worship the moon and the
monkey. and It is on record that some
years ago, when a Chinese ship APP
preached Taito on the east coast the
light at her masts head was mistaken
by the aborigines for the moon and
they offered no resistance. This Is
compared by the Japanese newspa-
pers to the experience of the Turks
when they invaded Egypt; the symbol
OF cat on the Turkish banners
quelled all Egyptian opposition. The
Formosan aborigines seem to Illus
trate the law of protection by mimic
ry. They wear no clothes, except
narrow waistband. and their skin has
Assumed hue closely resembling that
of earth. so that when they are In a
forest and have donned their usual
eaddress-namely, chaplet OF
leaves or wisp of grass, they are
scarcely distinguishable from their
environment
"They are said to be extraordinarily
skilled marksmen, scarcely one OF
their bullets failing to find its billet.
Such folks must prove very difficult
to deal with in military sense. The
women act as baggage carriers, and
their agility is extraordinary. They
have by this time learned that the
wire entanglements charged with
electricity is a serious obstacle only
when one comes in direct contact
with It. Accordingly they throw logs
of trees on the wires to cut the posts,
and having thus destroyed the OBJ
stacle. they move over 1t unscathed
for their raids on the Allyn lines.
Their arms are mostly old-pattern
rifles, but they have learned to use
them with great skill Their stock of
ammunition, however, cannot last
much longer, as strenuous precautions
are taken to patrol the east coast, so
as to prevent any smuggling of weap-
ons of war.
General Sakuma is quoted as say
ing that these aborigines, although
they are little removed from savages.
have a strong feeling of patriotism
and are as brave as men can be. The
soles of their feet are like leather, SO
that they can traverse ground of any
nature. They fight always at posi-
lions from 5000 to 5000 feet above
sea level. and in the thick forests
', that grow there immense difficulty ID
encountered by the troops. The Jap
anese have orders never to fire a shot
without taking careful aim, and thus
the war resolves itself into q series
of duels between individuals"
