LEAP YEAR ANn
ITS PRIVILEGES.

Perhaps St Patrick permitted the women to propose marriage in leap year. and thus established a tradition which survives as a subject of idle jest Perhaps the idea of leap year proposals originated in Scotland in the thirteenth century It makes no difference. Women have never offered themselves as wives to the men of their choice oftener in leap year than in any other year When a woman wants 10 marry man she frequently We had almost said usually-accom- plishes her purpose. If it suits her as it generally does, to compel him to make the formal proposal, she knows how to accomplish that pur- pose too. Leap year, in that respect, is humbug As matter of fact, it has no significance at all It is makeshift to correct, in a clumsy way, an error in the accepted calen. dar. The only thing it has to brag about is the 29th e. February. which
 generally comes and goes without notice. The inferiority of the male sex on that day is mot accounted more conspicuous than on other days The superiority of woman in many important respects is freely acknowl- edged throughout the civilized wolld every day of every year.
 We doubt if it would increase her attractiveness or magnify her social importance if she should take the leap year tradition seriously and pop the question instead of inspiring the act of popping. Every offer of mar riage is made with a chance Of re. lection. We do not now recall tue exact estimate of tho statisticisns as to the application of the law of chance in this matter. but We all know that men are sometimes rejected. If that were not the case, and had not beeu the case since the institution of mar riage, the body of the worlds yeetry would be much smaller than it is. Bighted affection has inspired -omes of verse. Few women would care to place themselbes in the position of rejected suitors, even fl they could hus acquire poetic inspiration.
 We do not advise the women to take-upon themselves the duty, or office. ora privilege, of proposing mar Iisge i1ythe year 1912, but we do urge them to be careful to make up their minds seriously before saying Yes" Wedlock is a desirable state, and di- yorce is probably a necessary insti- tuition. But it would be better to de- crease the scandsloIs number of di. vorces, even a. the expense of de- cressing the number of marriages.

AFTER R.R. TRESTLE AGAIN

An effort is to be made to get a
court order to pull down the long
trestle across Rogue river near the
city limits, built by the Grants Pass
& Rogue River Railroad company.
The grand jury today. in its re-
port to Judge Calklns, recommended
that the county court begin legal
proceedings to that end. The coun-
ty court, being in session, took i'm
mediate action, and instructed Dis
trict Attorney Mulkey to start SUIT
at once.
The grand jurors decreed that tht
trestle is a serious menace to the
county's stee. bridge across the
Rogue, In that the trestle IS liable
to 90 out when high waters begin to
rush down the river, and the mass Of
timbers crash onto the steel bridge
1t Is not supposed that any seriou'
opposition will be met by the count
in its efforts to get an order from The
circuit court to demolish the tresile
