Commandments for Fair Sex.

Brockton, Mass, Dec. 14.-Rev.
DR.. Albert Marion Hyde of the Por-
ter Congregational church, the
wealthiest church in the city, has
written ten commandments for wo-
men. Four of these are as follows:
"Thou shalt not marry for bank
account, or for a home, or even to
escape being an old maid. 1t is bet
ter to remain single than to enter
the marriage state for revenue only.
AFTER the marriage thou shalt not
forget that thy husband is still a
man. If thou put on any old wrap
per and leave thy hair on the bureau
and wear slippers run down at the
heel the thoughts that arise in thy
husband will not look well in print.
'Thou shalt not let loose on thy
husband, or thy sons, or thy daugh-
ters, or thy father, or mother on iron
ing day or wash day or baking day.
If thy tongue is hung in the middle
and wags at both ends, thy husband
will remember it is his lodge night
and will have great desire to help
initiate a friend.
"Thou shalt not spell home in any
new way-not as club, or matt
nee, or even church social. y

COMES FROM CUBA TO JAIL.
j. w. Harper Killed Sumter Hack
man Last Cchristmas.

A dispatch from Sumter to the
State says it became known Tuesday
that Friday J. w. Harper had quietly
surrendered himself to Jailer Owens
and is now in Jail. Harper killed Ed
die Bossard, a negro hackman, last
Christmas night. He made his es-
cape, his getaway occasioning a
great deal of talk and a police in
vestigation by a committee of coun-
Gil. Harper subsequently wrote the
sheriff, under postmark in Cuba,
that he would come to Sumter for
trial, but nothing more was heard of
him until he secretly surrendered
Friday. His attorneys have notified
Solicitor Stoll that they will apply to
Judge Gary for bail.

His Wife When Drunk.

He shot his wife in the back with a
shotgun while she lay sick and
asleep in bed, the crime being COM

WEAPON FAILS TO FIRE.
Father of Attacked Girl Tries II
Shoot Suspected Assailant.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Dec. 16.-Na-
thaniel Towels, negro, alleged to
have slashed the throat of Miss Iva
O'Connell, a telephone operator, was
trailed and caught by the aid of
bloodhounds to-day and probably
would have been the victim of a re-
volver in the hands of the girls faith
er at the police station had not the
plunger snapped on the only empty
shell in the weapon.
Miss O'Connell was attacked while
passing along a dark street on her
way from work. She fought her as
sailant for several moments and her
screams finally frightened him away.
Persons who ran from their homes
found the girl bleeding from knife
wound in her neck. The cash is not
deep, but is about four inches long.
Bloodhounds owned by the police de-
partment were given the trail and
within twenty minutes charged upon
Towels, who was hurrying toward the
edge of town along a railway track.
Although he denied knowledge OF
the attack, he was identified positive
ly by the girl.
While Towels was being questioned
at the police station, Timothy O'Con-
nell, father of the victim, forced his
way into the room and, without a
word, covered the negro with revol-
yer and pulled the trigger. The
weapon snapped on the only empty
cartridge in the chamber. O'Connell
was overpowered and disarmed by
the police.
Towels recently came here from
Fort Wayne. A large knife was found
in his pocket.

when they seek to prosecute the fruit
dealers in Florida for shipping fruit
North while still green. The pure food
experts would have a great deal more
inspection to do in the fruit line If the
shippers were to wait until the fruit is
entirely ripe before shipping 1t. BY
the time it has reached the stands in
New Jersey the fruit would be In a
state of decay.
OF course, the writer does not at
tempt to justify the retailer for plac-
Ing green fruit on sale, either. He
should be prosecuted il he does so. But
why the dealer should place his near
ripe fruit on sale when he can get 50
much more for the matured fruit can
not be understood. However, | think
that the prosecution of shippers be-
cause fruit is sent North while still
green would be a serious handicap and
nae to the industry. The con
sumner is better taken care of under
the present conditions. The retailer
has no excuse for offering green fruit
for sale. n he is the only one who
should be prosecuted. A DEALER.

A GOVERNOR.

TM RESIDENT TAFT'S political pilgrimages from his post of
I6 duty are paralleled by those of New jerseys Governor, who
yesterday started upon a Western trip, after a two weeks
speaking tour of the State. The trip will extend to Dallas, Tex.
The Governor has already covered nearly all the ground Travelled
by the President in his present tour of the West, but he will cover
ut again and perhaps a third time before the national conventions
meet next year, and will also tour the South and New England.
president Taft believes that it is essential he should appear among
the people and explain his administration policies and remove mis-
taken Impressions. Explanation has been the burden of his ad-
dresses. The Governor of a State is not a national officer and he
has no national policies to defend or explain. His sphere is entirely
within his State and his responsibility does not extend beyond its
borders. Governor Harmon, of Ohio, has acted upon that principle,
although a presidential candidate. He has remained at the helm of
State affairs and earned his salary.

Calls Gernn Law Un-American.

SdihS UCEhh INV Oh-FAutVrftnh
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Governor Wilson is pleading for re-
form; so are we all, Democrats and
Republicans. But what is reform? 1t
generally means to US mortals, first, be
reformed and informed, then when you
are sure you are right, proceed; but
don't take one step forward inc an
other backward.
l wonder what the rank and file, who
fought for the cause Of independence,
would have said had they been asked,
Are you a Democrat or a Republican
or any other party name at the pri-
mary.
I hear a mighty rebellious shout:
To the "basketbalr' with your impu-
dence; it's none of your business at
present. We are all independents, fight
ing for our rights.
The Geran law is un-American and
unconstitutional. 1t outrages the free
dom of the intelligent voter and places
his franchise secret rights in the hands
of petty clerks and politicians. What
right has any man to know how you
vote at the primary or otherwise?
None but platform jumpers could have
woven such a prisons clout nor in
vented such a put him in the stocks
device. The Governor, like old Mother
Eve, must have listened to the voice of
the charmer who, squat like a toad,
whispered in her ear damnation to the
world.
The initiative, referendum and recall
are merely a Western phrase of sound
and fury signifying nothing They
will not purify politics; nothing will do
that but the awaking of conscience
preach that.
High-sounding phrases played by
tinkering, tinkling cymbals, are merely
platform exhalations.

ITO bring the navy closer to the people and to let the nation see
what the navy really is. The American people are proud of their

power represented by one of the nations fleets. Millions of people
will line New York bay to view the magnificent naval spectacle

FORT DEFINES HIS ATTITUDE.

IT n his speech at Elizabeth Monday night, which evidently was
carefully thought out, in which he scored the party leaderships
in the recent past, former Governor Fort declared his status
ns a Republican and as a probable candidate next year for United
States senator. There are now two declared candidates in the field.
Senator Briggs and former Governor Stokes, while several others
are in prospective. This was the first speech by Fort in the present
campaign, and it defined his attitude on questions of public policy.
1T was the prelude of other public deliveries in the same vein, and
mo doubt they will provoke tart retorts.

A BETTER STATE FORESTRY sYsTEM.

q ONE more comprehensive plan of conservation of the forests
of the State should be adopted, and as a first step thereto
the State Forestry Commission or a special commission can
be authorized to make Investigations of the forestry systems Of
other States and of Europe. New Jersey now has only the pre-.
tense of a forestry system. The State has acquired a beggarlv
few thousand acres of forest lands and is doing little in the way of
reforestation. The Indifference and neglect exhibited by State legis.
natures for many years in this matter reflect upon the States in
teligence.
