Is there SO much sham about society?
We find sham in all walks of life, but We
certainly find more evidence of it in our
higher circles of society. here We find
people whose morals and lives cannot
stand inspection trying to buy their way
into heaven hiding behind the mask of
sweet charity. This is certainly sham.
In the number Of cases 1 have wit
messed 1t does look as though the young
girls of to-day are so afraid of being
dubbed an ''old maid that they are willing
to do almost anything in order to get
married. Some of them even go so far
as to furnish themselves with an at
tractive wardrobe far above their
rleans) and tie themselves to a popular
summer resort with the intention of
catching some unsuspecting young man.
This, too, is sham.
The American mother is not to blame
for the number Of unhappy marriages.
That blame rests on the contracting
parties. Young girls are prone to take
advice of their parents in this serious
matter. They think they know best. If
the, parent does not give his or her con-
sent they run away. get married and re-
pent at leisure. think as rule moth

No doubt c. B. Shaw is combating
real evils; that the types of women

exist. His unique and forceful way Of
ridiculing what is false and ignoble has
done much to make people think more

Impossible to Judge Others.

First-Social matters, like charity,
should begin at home, and 1t is impossi-
bic for the average citizen to have an
exact conception Of society and its con-
ditions out of his own sphere.
Second-It seems that American girls
are rather more ambitious to attain ca
reers and improve social and economic
conditions of her sisters (Which often,
unfortunately. compel single life) than
entice men to marry; and they are, as a
general rule, womanly. though progress
sive, though one may find exceptions to
the rule in any nationality.
Third-I think the American mother
who is free from overexalted social am
billions (Which are due to too rapid
gain of wealth. has more sentiment re-
garding her daughters happiness than
mothers of any other nationality, as in
many countries 'the marrige portion" is
considered first. And, in conclusion, the
greatness and youth of this country make
conditions that are not easily under
stood by others. but every day these
matters are improving and becoming adj
justed to a better standard.

At special meeting of the city
council. held this afternoon, John F.
Reed, of the firm of Bows, Smith. Reed
& Cook. which is seeking the public
utilities franchises here, entered into
a written contract with the council
for street car extension.
The agreement was entered into for
the purpose Of making absolutely def

will be made.
Car Line For Every Ward.
According to the agreement of the
company every ward Of the city will

soon as a safe crossing Of some kind
is provided This. however. is not nee
essarily contingent upon the building
Of a viaduct. With the proposed ex-
tensions the company will, in all prob
ability. exceed in mileage the amount
of one and one-kalf miles promised in
its franchise ordinance-more, in reali-
ty, than it has agreed to do.
The agreement as entered into this
afternoon calls for the following:
To extend the street car line from
the terminus on Thirteenth street west
on Summit 1900 feet. or four blocks.
To extend the line on some street
paralleling Third avenue, and west of
Third avenue, to either Boone or Ne

to Twelfth street.
To extend line south across the
railway tracks into the Fifth ward as

ing can be provided. either by viaduct
or otherwise. to May street, or some
street paralleling May street, and then
running east or west on that street. to

Exclusive Of Park and Fair Grounds.
The above named extensions are ex-
elusive Of the First and Fourth ward
lines, as they are provided for in the
franchise in the lines to Riverview park
and the fair grounds.
A clause was also included In the
contract which makes certain that
transfers will be given on the street car
lines as that was the intention of the
grantees and 1t had been held by the
city's attorneys to be covered fully but
in order to quiet criticism was re-
affirmed by contract with the council.
