Avoiding the Appearance of
Evil

We hail with the greatest satisfac-
ton the appearance of new rule
of conduct in public life, For a
great many years the public has gone
along winking the other eye, and
meeting the gravest situations with
the cynical remark what else could
you expect in politics." But this
will not any longer satisfy even the
politicians. There is a whOlesomer
standard in process of erection, and
the man who hopes to succeed in
public life will do we'll to govern him
self accordingly, says the Muskogee
Phoenix.
Take the two cases Of Lorimer and
Archibald. Two years ago Lorimer
was acquitted before the senate with
nothing vital added to the evidence,
the vote for his expulsion is two to
one. The difference represents a
real change In public opinion, What
seemed to many men a yenial offense
then has now become actual guilt.
Nobody believes lat Lorimer per-
sOnally bribed any man to vote for
him, or that he handed money to
any lieutenant of his with explicit
instructions to go out and buy as
many members of the legislature as
might be necessary. Everybody be-
lieves that he was elected by corrupt
men for corrupt purposes, and that
he was morally cognlzant of the fact.
That is the offense for which he is
punished and 1t is just as heinous
as the other.
Archibald is the type of man, like
Rockefeller, who believes that what
ever is legally permissible is also
honorable. We do not know, at this
stage, whether his performances
touched the line of criminality or
not. We do know that he used at
least the influence of the judicial Of
flee for commercial trafficking with
gain as its end. That is enough. His
Indictment by the house of represent
atives found but one dissenting vote;
and we do not believe that the SEN
ate which rejected Lorimer will leave
Archibald on the bench.
This is, the sort of standard we
need. Tainted men and tainted
money must go.-Wichita Eagle.

Big Ship For Peace

Washington, July 16.-The SEN
ate today passed without discussion
the Terror battleshlp" resolution
by Senator Tillman, proposing that
the United States build the greatest
warship possible under modern nav
al conditions, to put an end to the
race for naval supremacy.
Mr.. Tnlman's resolution directs
the committee on naval affairs to de-
termine how far ship builders and
armorers can go to build THE very
best battleship or cruiser the world
has ever seen or will ever see," and
proposes to name the new ship the
Terror" and make her the Peace
maker of the world"
Has Mr.. Tillman forgotten already
what happened to the big ship. the
Titanic?

The Fable of the Rich Samaritan
l will tell you about Miss Van
GOldylocks and her beau.
Miss Van Goldylocks' father
worked very hard so that his daugh-
ter might have everything she want
ed. Miss Van Goldylocks had a new
dress made every time the dressmak-
er changed her mind. She had the
very dearest little gowns in the whole
city. She spent a great deal also
on hats, taxis, bridge and entertain
ing. She had exquisite taste in ex-
pensive things, and also spelt
very we'll, indeed, for her age. She
was a great catch.
Miss Van Goldylocks' beau worked
down town. He held a very respon-
sible position. He was sober, in
dustrious, and everybody liked him.
His mother was a Van Something
and he was related on his father
side to all the nice people. He was
very much in love with Miss Van
GoldylocKs.
One evening he called upon Miss
Van Goldylocks to ask her to become
his wife. Miss Van Goldylocks knew
by experience that he had come for
this purpose and determined to make
1t easy for him. So she opened the
subject herself.
81 was just thinking how happy
| should be to be married and live
in tiny. tiny little cottage, with just
fifteen thousand a year." she said
coyly.
Fifteen thousand" gasped the
beau.
Indeed | could live very COM
fortably on fifteen thousand. OF
course. | should not expect stable
full of horses. could get along
very we'll with a good automobile.
And should have to be content with
one lady's maid, and if we didn't en-
terrain very often six or seven other
servants would be enough. | should
probably have a nervous breakdown
oftener than once a year. So you
see / could scrape along quite well
on fifteen with a small gift now and
then from father"
The beau had been waiting five
years for a raise from three thousand
five hundred to an even four. He
made a rapid calculation on his cum
and patted his head to see that his
hair was still there. Then he said
good night and strolled over TO
Broadway and ceased to be spoken
OF in polite society.

"When the prohibitory law went
into effect" continued the depart

Irishman by the name of McCaslln,

case was called before a justice Of

conducted by the county attorney. Nc

Three Simple Fables For
Grown Women
The Fable Of the Modern Ruth
will tell you a story about mysel

| will tell you story about myself.
My garden was overgrown with
weeds ! cast my eye about for a
gardener and l saw but one man,
fine, strapping youth
II will give you ten dollars to
weed my garden" | said.
Make 1t Fifteen" he replied.
He was the only man could find
engaged him.
At the end of the week he took
his fifteen dollars and went and de-
posted them in a bank. AS he
walked out of the bank he raised his
chin proudly and thought, Soon
shall be getting married." and be-
fore he had reached home he had de-
cided he would marry the girl who
swung all DAY in the hammock next
door.
Now, the girl as she swung in the
hammock next door was wishing she
had many things. First she wanted
husband but she was in no hurry for
him. So we will count him from the
list. Then she wanted a new hat,
and she wanted money for soda
water, and she wanted pretty silk
stockings and lot of other pretty
things. So she made up her mind
that she would try to earn little
pin-money.
The next morning she came to
me and said, "Let me take care OF
your garden. I'll do it as well as
a man for much less'
said, I'm give you five dollars
week"
"All right" she said, st will be
enough for soda water"
When the young man came said,
Your place is filed"
He went away and in few days
he came back again. 81 must have
work to live" said he.
I'll give you five dollars to help
in the kitchen"
So the man worked in the kitchen
and the girl worked in the garden.
AS it was in my home, so 1t was
in my business, and | became rich
from what | saved in wages.
Now the years passed, and the
young man still worked in the kitch-
en-. And he began to despair and he
began to look enviously upon my
wealth. and he said, "All my work
goes to profit another and | receive
nothing" So he demanded more
wages. and refused. and he walked
out of my kitchen. Then he starved
and became maddened and sought to
blow up my house with dynamite.
Meanwhile the girls father died
and she was not married and her only
means of support was the five dollars
a week she earned in my garden.
And five dollars was not enough for
her to live on and make herself a
home.
So the young man became a GRIM
lnal and the girl became prostitute.
Here is a pretty story of love and
romance.

dren, and what would the state do
without children"
81 suppose it would have to try
to get along on immigrants" he
said.
-"You needn't try to be smart"
she snapped.
81 beg your pardon, my dear" he
replied, "but is not woman suffi-
GENTLY represented in politics by her
husband?"
She smiled at him pityingly. "All
women are not married"
"All that bear children are, |
hope"
Now you're low" she said. "I'lI
not talk to you If women are not
married it's because the men don't
ask them"
My dear" said he, what the wo-
men want is not the ballot, but the
right to propose. What is choosing
president compared to choosing a
husband? Here is the real Unequal
ity, and it will never cease to exist
while woman's delicacy makes her
cry for the ballot instead"
Mrs. Smith burst into tears and
had Mysteries. And Smith went into
the dining room, locked the door and
got very drunk.
Here was pretty end to an ev-
ening.
Now about Robinson:
Ag &c Irn
banner and Mrs. Smith had en-
broidered pennant they called to-
gether upon Mrs. Robinson. Mrs.
Robinson knew needlework the mo-
ment she saw 1t and became con-
WINGED that the time had come for
women to demand their rights.
What" she exclaimed; "what is
socialism but woman's suffrage under
mask. AS soon as women can vote
all the wrongs of the world will be
righted and politics will become
pure"
At this Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Smith
set up great shout, Votes for wo-
men!" and all three fell upon Rob-
inson and tied a big bow of blue rib
bon on his arm.
When Robinson entered his club
the next morning he met Jones
and Smith.
s"What have you got on your
arm?" asked Jones and Smith in one
breath.
at is the order of purity" re-
turned Robinson, combing his whis-
kers with a silver pocket comb. "Wo-
men must be permitted to vote. They
are going to purify politics. Their
sweet natures"
There was a crash. A brick sailed
through the window and struck Rob-
inson on the brow. AS he fell he
heard a cry, Votes for women"
Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Jones aand Mrs.
Robinson were taken to Jail and fed
through the nose
Jones penitently sold his wife's
automobile and quadrupled the cooks
salary. Smith proposed without sue
cess to dozen pretty young women
during his wife's absence. Robin
son had water on the brain, lost his
mind and marched in the suffrage
parade.
Here is pretty tale of sweetness
and light.

Jones was beginning to feel very
uncomfortable. "I'm very sorry, my
dear" he said. "Why do women
work? My mother and my grand
mother didn't work"
Your mother and your grand
mother were parasites. They let
their husbands support them, ("
snapped Mrs. Jones.

law passed that women should get

Jones got up and put on his hat
and Mrs. Jnes read the paragraph
in the newspaper over again, till she
had thoroughly famlliarized herself
with every aspect of the suffrage
question.
Here is pretty home.
Now about Smith.

Smith to him. 81 know | was right
