Who Chooses?

MAN and superman" is back
on the stage of this country now
Shaw's rollicking picture of the
woman relentlessly pursuing and
obtaining the man who appears to
her fitted to be her mate and the
father of her children. The pre-
vailing convention once was that
the man selected the girl, who
usually was reluctant. Between
that view and Shaw's is ours
that it is in general not a pursuit
at all, but a head-on collision; not a
conscious choice, but a desire.
Taking only those cases, however,
which do involve intelligent, con-
scious selection, and subsequent
angling, who does the most of it
Our guess would be that the clear
est cases of selection, for excellent
reasons, we're by women, who
have more often a clearer idea of
what they need than young men
have; but that, as under our pres
ent economic system the man still
usually supports" the family,
the woman still hangs back on the
average, waiting modestly for the
man TO choose. In the future
men will choose more intelligently,
and less for looks; but women, as
they get more public recognition
and pecuniary independence for
their share of the worlds work,
will assume more leadership in
selection. They have the heavy
burden of reproduction, and the
complex adjustment to it, and
they will probably always have
more sense about husbands than
men will ever have about wives. =

How to Contribute to the Wilson
Campaign Fund
A Great Opportunity.

Never did the great common
people have such a chance to come
to their own as now. The big in
terests have for years been tinanc-
ing the campaigns and then claim
ing the right to dictate to the sue
cessful candidate. in which they
have generally been successful.
Gov. Wilson positively refuses
to accept any of their money, but
is looking to the people to fur
nish the necessary funds for the
expenses of his campaign, so that
when elected he can take Office
amendable to none but them.
In his splendid address to the
editors at Louisville last Saturday,
Chairman johnson N. Camden, of
the Democratic Campaign Com
mittee, laid especial emphasis on
the people taking advantage of
their opportunity and by helping
to pay the expenses of the cam
paign, keep the rich men from
doing so, and give the demagogues
no chance to infiame the masses
against the rich. 1t will increase
their love for country and be a
test of enlightened and patriotic
manhood. If they fail to do so
the next campaign may see the old
order of things resumed. Let
u.s." as Mr.. Camden says. ION our
part uphold Woodrow Wilson and
see that he is not left to the humil-
iation of asking his personal friends
to pay him out of debt"

A Plague on Both.

Gov. Wilson does not hesitate
to charge that Col. Roosevelt ibid
an illegal thing in order to build
up an irresistible power" as he
terms it, in permitting the pur-
chase by the United State Steel Cor
poration of the Tennessee Coal Il
Iron Company. The Colonel says
the power of the trusts can not be
destroyed, but it should be con-
trolled as much as possible by a
commission. In other words, the
trusts must be asked to be good.
1t is optional with them whether
they will or not. With Colonel
Roosevelt coddling the trusts and
Taft showing his willingness to
put up with them as long as they
put up for his campaign fund, and
both shouting for high protec-
tive tariff, the people who suffer
under the burdens can we'll ex-
claim, "A plague on both of your
houses. A vote for Wilson and
the Democratic nominee for Con-
gress will put the seal of your con-
demnation on such practically le-
galized robbers.
