DOROTHY DIX WRITES
Some Reasons Why Women Love Scamps
Bv DOROTHY DIX
81 Look Out That you Don 7 Say It yourself.

OF course, in explanat ion Of why
women seem to have peculiar
mania for loving unworthy men, it
may be said that the black sheep
very often has graces and charms
of personality that his white broth
or lacks 1t is a truism that vice is
generally more attractive than
virtue, and ali of us know from per
sonal experience how much more
lovable certain people are who have
nothing but their faults to recon-
mend them than certain other peo-
pie who are models of all the vir-
tues.
We have all seen some man who
was a light in the church, an eX-
ample in the community, the very
pattern of probity, and honesty, G
man whose wife rode in her auto
mobile, and had fine house, and
rich clothing, and everything APP
parently that the heart of woman
could desire, die, and leave a widow
who made scarcely pretense Of
regretting him We have seen an
other man die who had been almost
an outcast in the community, and
whose wife had gone shabby and
poor, and toiled to support him,
and he left behind him a broken
hearted widow who mourned him to
the day Of her death

More Teachers, Higher Pay,
Fewer Scholars Needed.

When women have a voice in the
affairs of the nation there will be
more teachers. larger salaries,
fewer pupils in each department,
and more attention will be given
to the Compartments and varying
dispositions of children by their in
structors.
Instead Of regarding the little
ones who enter public schools as
machines which must be taught to
go according to one rule, each child
win be studied as a threefold being,
and his mind. body and spirit viii
be cared for and developed accord
ing to his own peculiar needs. All
this will come slowly, but it will
come.
Before children enter the public
schools there should be a great
sitting process under the direction
Of a national board of scientific
men
The brain equipment of each
child, the tendencies given it at
birth. should be tested: then the
nervous, hysterical and erratic
minds ought to be placed in a school
by. themselves, under the care of
men and women who know the law
of mental suggestion.

followed day after day and month

the public schools There is no sys-
tematized process Of developing a

there is not time for this in the
examining process now in vogue
and with the enormous pressure
placed on teachers.
No teacher can do justice to
more than fifteen children through
the school hours. In many of our
public schools there are fifty and
sixty children under one instruct
or. This is fatal to the nervous sys-
tenn of the teacher and deprives the
pupils of that personal sympathy
which is of such vital Importance.

Roosevelt and Root.

Naturally. the suggestion OF the name
OF Mr. Root in connection with the tenn
porary craftsmanship Of the Chicago con-
vention is not acceptable to the Roosevelt
people. He is not of their number. He
opposes not only Mr.. Roosevelt but the
new policies for which Mr.. Roosevelt
stands. AS the temporary chairman
sounds the keynote. the Roosevelt people
want a keynoter of their own school of
singing.
The choice Of course. will turn upon
the question Of control at the convention
If the Roosevelt people have the votes.
they can cut out the whole work Of the
convention. All the recommendations Of
the national committee can be rejected.
and an organization effected which will
express the full Roosevelt purpose.
We may see In this objection to Mr..
Root the very great change that has
come over Mr.. Roosevelt. Only a few
years ago the two men were in full agree
ment about public policies and working
together for their enforcement Mr..
Roosevelt's praise Of Mr.. Root was so
high 1t smacked almost Of extravaganza.
He had found him to be the best equipped
man for public business he had ever met.
He conferred with him and was infiu-
enced by him, and took important steps
under his inspiration.
There has been no change in Mr.. Root.
His republieanism displayed as q member
of Mr.. Roosevelt's cabinet caused him to
be elected to the Senate and as a men,
Der OF that body he has justified the con-
fidence of his constituents. He Is one Of
the republican leaders Of the Senate.
But Mr.. Roosevelt. after three years Of
retirement returns to the field Of national

courts he has set the pegs for radicalism

Mr.. Roosevelt on the Tariff.

Al last a deliverance from Mr.. Roose
Welt on the tariff. He waited until he
reached New Jersey. shrewd calcu-
lation.
The people of that state are very
much interested in the subject. They
have enormous sums invested in
manufacturing plants. and have always
believed in protection. Democrats as
well as republicans have subscribed to
the doctrine.
1t will be recalled that democratic
senator from New Jersey helped Mr.
German recast the Wilson tariff bill
in 1894 James Smith. jr., had been
elected on the national democratic
platform of 1892. declaring against
protection. Nevertheless. he was a pro-
tectionist. and when the test came in
Congress he stood for that policy.
His course provoked much criticism
from outside the state. He shared with
Mr. German and others the charge of
"perhdy and dishonor" which Mr..
Cleveland hurled at those who had put
the Wilson bill into a new shape.
But as he had acted with the greater
confidence for knowing that his con-
stituents were supporting him. he paid
small heed to the lectures read him
about democratic tariff principles and
his duty as senator. Feeling that he
had provided for his own people. he
was serene under the lash of out
siders
The only change that has taken place
in New Jersey since then has been in
the increase in the number OF manu-
featuring plants and in the value of
their outputs, and hence a strengthen
ing of the protection principle among
the people. All the wheels of In
dustry in the state turn through the
encouragement given by schedules
which protect both capital and labor.
Naturally, therefore. Mr.. Roosevelt
in canvassing for New Jerseys sup
port at Chicago declares for New
Jerseys interests. He is a protection
ist. and wants that policy continued
But he speaks only in general terms
He has no tariff bill TO offer as a sub
stitute for the Payne law All he pro-
poses is the creation of a national
bureau for the investigation of the
whole protection question.
Such bureau. or board, now exists
And Mr. Taft is the author of 1t. 1t
was created upon his recommendation
and that fact is initiating against it's
longer existence The democrats in
Congress desire to abolish it.
Mr.. Roosevelt was seven years in the
White House. and passed the tariff by
Was it because he feared to take up a
subject about which he knew little except
the fact that those who had not run AWAY
from the duty of revising it had usually
suffered some political injury?

The Mall-Avenue Bill.

The Senate has just passed q bill pro-
viding for the acquisition Of all the land
lying between Pennsylvania avenue and
the Mall. 1t has passed this bill before
only to have 1t rest In committee on the
House side. and that. II is expected, will
be the fate of the proposition now, al
though there Is the most urgent reason
for its adoption and no sound argument
against it. The government is continu-
ally needing land for public buildings. and
1t stands to reason that 1t should pursue
a definite policy in the emplacement Of

gree in the past, in a haphazard man.
ner as regards the location Of important
edifces- The advantage Of taking all the
land lying between the Avenue and the
Mall as a whole rather than square by
square is obvious to one who studies the
course of values Of realty when public
building enterprises are in hand. II the
entire area Is taken now It can be had
for very much less than II will cost the
government ultimately, taken section by
section. Furthermore, by acquiring this
land for building sites Congress will be
saved from the temptation OF putting
public structures on the Mall. every re-
duction Of which by the addition of q
building lessons It's value TO the COM
munity. Considerations of present econ
omy do not require the rejection Of this
bill by the House. for 1t provides only the
general authorization for the taking Of
the land in question and does not involve
an early large outlay Of public money.

Simple Graduation Dresses.
from the Boston Globe.

From the Boston tiIobe.
Now that the graduation season for
high schools and colleges Is so close at
hand a word OF commentator should be
said for the school authorities who are
trying their best to discourage extrava-
gance in the selection of graduation
dresses by the young women who are
finishing the academic year. For several
years this common-sense movement has
been going on. and II IS pleasing to note
that each year the idea of simplicity
gains more friends.
