MOCK RESTRAINT BETWEEN
MEN AND WOMEN.

Dear Madam: Under some cir
cumstances It should be quite proper
FOR woman to propose" But ex-
listing conditions forbid It. Suppose
. girl keeps company with a young
man for some time, she becomes
anxious to know the state OF his
mind and must ask him frankly or
resort TO subterfuges. can't under
stand why. frankly speaking. the
truth should be 80 hampered by EN-
barrassment. Shouldn't 1t be much
more honorable for her to ask his
mind than to try articles. or to seek
another friend more matrimon.ally
inclined without explanation: The
mock restraint between men and
women Is hypOcritical. II each were
to act free and natural there would
be less sin and the world would ba
happier. A young man and a young
woman might sit opposite each other
al a restaurant table, and Just be-
cause they are strangers our !diotic
custom code says that each must
regard the other as a minus auan-
tity. II he looks at her she is sun
posed to believe he has evil designs,
il she looks at him he thinks her a
iiirt. How much more pleasant IL
would be II strangers could converse
freely without stirring up this un-
wholesome atmosphere. Happiness
follows hard upon the heels OF truth.
Rush truth skyward and happiness
will follow. INSURANCE AGENT.

SOME PRESS COMMENTS
These
fandRo osevelP Papers,

VIM. Allen Whites paper, the Emporia
Gazette says of the candidacy of Mr.. Trout
man for Senator from this county:
James A. Troutman, who was a pioneer
in the progressive movement, who is one
of the best known men in Kansas, who is
one OF the ableSt lawyers in the West, is
candidate for the State Senate from the To-
peka district. Mr.. Troutman has done two
important things in announcing his cam
paign. First he has announced that he is
for Tart and second, he has signed state
ment NO; l, agreeing to let the people of
Kansas choose their United States Senator.
For both of these things he is to be COM
mended. When man is for Taft it takes
man says so, and the fact that Troutman
says so indicates that he has the right sort
statement No. L it indicates that he is
progressive of the real sort. A lot of pro-
gressives refused to sign statement No.
because they were afraid it would keep them
from voting for Stubbs That is being
progressive with logchain attachemtn. The
people of Kansas have right to say
say they do not want him, they should not
have him His name will be on the pri-
mary ballot for them to vote upon. And if
he beats Curtis, Stubs name will be
the ballot again in November. That is
enough, and if he wins twice, the people
want him, otherwise he will not be a can
didate.
Troutman, in addition to being man of
first-rate ability and high character, is the
kind of man who makes a high-grade
public servant He is intelligent. conscien-
tious and capable, and he should be nomi-
mated and elected
