There was a time when women ex-
listed on feminine privilege. A good
many of them are so situated that
they must. Many a woman has been
compelled to do without rights be-
cause she had privileges, and when it
came to the big matters of life, she
found that the privileges didn't reach
out
Today the thinking woman finds
that many of her former privileges
are rights, though once upon a time
she thankfully took them as favors.
Also, she has discovered that many
women want privileges beside their
rights and get them by hook or
crook.
But the thinking woman has found
that Justice is giving women what
they deserve more today than ever
before in the worlds history. Condi-
tionSare not perfect yet but they are
growing better every. year, and in

The divorce courts alone prove the
growing justice to women. A recent
case may be quoted as an example
A couple had been married some Is
years. They had three children. The
wife was kept at home caring for the
house and the children. She didn't
have much time to beautify herself, or
be overly neat. And she committed
the objectionable sin of getting fat

The husband got up in the world.
He didn't try to take his wife on up
with him. Her place was the home.
He met many attractive women, and
! finally became infatuated with a slim
young thing who spent good part of
her dads money at the dressmaker's
She also knew how to do her hair
in the latest mode.

divorce. So he sued, stating that
his wife was slovenly, bad-tempered,
neglectful, etc.
At first the wife couldn't believe it.
Then she awoke up and told her
wrongs to the court Result: The
divorce was given to the wife-also a
substantial alimony and the custody

JUDGE DUNES GREAT TRI.
CMPH

The election of Judge E. F. Dunno
to the governorship of Illinois involv-
ed no great surprise to those familiar
with the situation in the state during
the last weeks Of the campaign. There
never was a doubt about Dunno. The
only uncertainty that existed was as
to Wilson in the state and those on
the inside never had any fears about
that, although concedlng that It would
be close.
Judge DUNES triumph is the
more gratifying because of the malic-
ious and un-American attempts to &C
complish his defeat through narrow
prejudice. His election is therefore a
pronounced rebuke to those who
sought TO inject religious and racial
feelings into the campaign The great
body Of the people frown upon this
sort OF work. 1t is un-American. II is
unmanly.
Judge Dunno won his high char.
acter as a man. He passed through
bitter campaign unscathed. His
views were criticised, his policies dis.
couraged, but the man stood above
criticism. His public and private life
contains no stain.
Judge Dunno will enter upon the
duties of the governorship strongly
endowed. He served as mayor of Chi,
cago with great distinction. He was
an upright Judge He is a model citi
zen. He is Christian gentleman.
Judge Dunno ought to make, and
we believe he will make, a model
state executive.

CURRENT COMMENT

shoulders of the masses, taxing the
average man, woman and child on ev-
cry stitch of clothing they wear and
everything else they must have in or
der to live, while permitting all forms
OF wealth to go untaxed.
The masses of the people produce
the wealth and by legislative advan-
tage a few get possession of it, and
now these few object to the transfer
to wealth of even the amount of taxa
ton derived from the tariff on sugar,
which is but one of 500 things on
which the masses are paying a tax
They would prefer that the govern
n,ent continue to tax sugar instead Of
wealth, because they eat no more SUI
far than the section hand on the rail-
road or the worker in the mill and
therefore under the present system are
compelled to pay no greater tax to
the federal government than does the
poorest man.
The United States government raises
all it's revenue through the customs
houses and the internal revenue offices
by taxing the things the people eat,
wear or use as they come through
these offices.
GREAT WEALTH ESCAPES.
The great wealth of the millionaires
escapes taxation for federal purposes
because it does not come through the
! customs houses.
If a fiscal system which requires a
millionaire to pay no more tax to the
| federal government than the section
| hand or mill worker is fair and just
there is no need of reform; but if such
a system is unjust, the excise-income
tax is a move in the right direction to
remedy it.
