Dual Standard of Morality
From The Arkansas Democrat.

as pure in thought and act as the

A dual standard of morality is
wrong. 1t strikes at the sanctity of
the home. Yea, 1t destroys the
sanctity of the home, and when the
home is touched the bedrock of
civilization is attacked,
Set the highest standard Of NOR

That this is true Is alleged by
certain close students of sociology,
And 1t is becoming to be accepted
as a fact.
In fact, 1t has been practiced for
years and years, while those who
practice It did not realize that they
were assisting in fixing this two

That which Is immoral for a
woman Is immoral for man. An
act which places the stamp Of dis
approval of the best people upon a
woman should likewise cast q man
guilty of the same act outside the
pale of responsibility.
But is this doneY How many
men do you know who set a stan
dard as high as Is possible to fix
for woman and straiehtway break

A man has q right to require the

but has not the woman the right to

doubtedly has, and more than that,
It Is her duty to require this high
standard,
No standard is too high for the

A number of democratic news
papers are waking up to the fact
that all is not exactly right in Ar
kansas, and are bold enough to con-
tend for better things. No good
reason can be named why the dem
ocratic newspaper should remain
dumb to the wrongs committed in
its own party There are very many
good reasons why honest newspa-
pers should condemn rottenness
and corruption wherever found.
Remaining silent while your own
party overrides the public will and
bankrupts the state is not party
fealty. That's political slavery.
We cannot help but notice that a
great many papers 60 thousands of
miles away for something to talk
about and many times condemn;
they give the tariff, trusts and cong

1t seems inevitable that when one
political party has long and unin-
terrupted control of affairs, either in
state Or nation, that party becomes
corrupt. This statement is amply
borne out by the history of every
state in the Union which is, or has
been, rock"ribbed in one political
faith. The temptation to mix pelf
and pilfer with power, 1t seems, is
too great to be withstood by those
politicians who understand that
there Is nothing to be feared from
the opposing party.

Jordan, western representa-. tive of the Detroit company, ar. rived in the city yesterday from Tombstone, having come from Phoenix, by way of Tucson in an Abbott. Detroit car. They report the roads between Bisbee and Tue son in very bad shape, it being necessary to run as slow as four or five miles an hour in some places. The object uf their visit to Bisbee is to look over the field with view to establishing an agency here and they leave today for Douglas to look into he field there. One of Mir. Jordan's observations regarding this part of the country was the willingness of drivers of buggies, wagons and other lig1 to divide the road with automobiles. " The people of this part of Ari- zona are the most courteous in that respect of any that l have meet" he said. He said further that the roads of Cochise county were the best that he had seen in any part of the territory. In ad dition to being an autoist, MT. Jordan IS a good roads enthusiast and says that the completion of the territorial highway will mark an era in Arizona.
 Douglas International: The Douglas chamber of commerce is in receipt of a letter from J. L Jordan, construction quartermaster at Fort Huachuca, asking Douglas ites to interest themselves in the erection of first class hotel on the military reservation. He desires it taken up hy representative mer in Bisbee, Douglas, Tucson and Nogales, believing that the project would then be regarded more as g local enterprise by the people o these cities and he more likely to succeed. Captain Jordan state, what every Douglasite known wh, has been there, that it would bt an attractive place for automobile parties to visit, also for those travelling by rail, and he is of thu opinion that the required permis sion to build on the military re servation could readily be obtain ed from the war department shoul, { he matter be properly presented One of the things necessary fo success of this project is the build ing of d railroad spur from the No gales road to the fort grounds Not only would this be justified by the hotel, but by the fact lha it has been decreed by the govern
 ment that Fort Huachuca is to b
 made an important military station
 with a large garrison, and any i'm
 provement that would be an ac commodation to the government and the public as we'll, would like
 ly meet the approval of the former as well as the latter. Captai

Who WILL Be LEADER IN j. s. SENATE
SENATOR OWEN FAVORABLY MENTIONED

needs no label. Nobody seems to sus-
pect that Bailey will claim the titular
command, but everybody understands
that he can be expected to give oc-
casional demonstrations of a prowess
which has earned wholesome respect
of antagonism.
Bailey and Owen represent anti
podai views, despite that both are
democrats. With the influx of num-
Der of progressive democratic sena-
tors from northern states, Owen will
he a possible minority leader. He is
typical of the new radical thought
which is the basis of the progressive
movement in both parties. And no.
body even remotely suspects that his
nerve will fail when occasion re-
quires a measuring of lances even
with the redoubtable champion from
the Lone Star state.
This question of whether Bailey is
to dominate the minority when per-
haps it snail become a majority, is
stirring the democratic side to its
depths. With all that is conceded to
his ability and experience, Bailey is
frankly looked on by progressive and
even moderates, in both parties as
a dangerous leader. He is not cred
tied with a full measure of sympathy
with that rather vague body of
thought and olicies demoninate
progressive. He is not liked by Mr.,
Bryan and he reciprocateS the lack
of affection most heartily.
There is little doubt that at the
proper time there will be a contest
between the Bailey and the anti-Bai-
ley schools of democrats for the con-
troll of the party program in the SEN
ate There will probably be a So
called Bailey candidate an d
anti-Bailey candidate for leadership
and the contest between them will be
an eptome of the struggle now go
ing on for control of the democratic
party, its convention, its nomination,
and its platform in 1912"

Judge Lindsey Says in Politics
Women Are More Honest Than Men

bribes shall be urged as a reason
why they should not have the ballot,
the bribery argument is fifty times
stronger against the male voters.
Such an argument, if pushed to It's
logical conclusion, would deprive ey-
eryone of the ballot and no suffragans
would be left to perpetuate our in
stitutions.
Comparing the effective work of
voting women in the direction of re-
form with the work of voting men,
the Judge points out that the women
of Colorado have made ii impossible
for a child to be accused OF a crime
in any court of the state and asks to
be shown a like result in any state
where men alone DO the voting.
This is a great deal TO the credit
of the women of Colorado; and it is
possible that they would have Sc
cured the same result had they not
been armed with the ballot. Women
are a mighty influence on the side
OF clemency and justice and the non
voting femnines of any state could
secure the same result that makes
Colorado stand out respondent In
the galaxy of progressive states If
they would but make a concerted eff
fort
