When married woman's father
supports her has she a right to fol-
low the dictates of her heart instead
of being true to her husband? Grand
Duchess Marie Pavlovna, wife of
Prince William of Sweden thinks So.
Since her marriage she has been
supported by her father, the Grand
Duke Aleyandrovitch, of Russia, and
when she fell in love with NJ. Sla-
vinski, Russian minister to Stockholm
she frankly admitted it. Her hus-
band promptly knocked her down and
beat her up. The Grand Duchess has
gone home to her folks and the tele-
graph, who knows the innermost Sc
crets of royalty, declares she will
never again live with her husband; |;
that she is too proud to allow man
to knock her down twice if that man
is a prince. WI

THE CHINESE BRAND OF CON
STITUTIONALISM.

President Yuan has expelled 300
members of parliament because of
their radicalism and persistent op-
position to his nationalist views and
policies. They were members Of the
kwo Ming Tang or democratic party,
formerly led by DIR. Sun Yat Sen, the
idealist and first provisional presi-
dent of the republic.
Of course this action is a coup
detat. 1t is illegal. The expelled
members were elected in the same
manner as the other members and
they were entitled to urge their po-
litical views. Their expulsion de-
stroys the parliament and Yuan Writ
ually becomes dictator. He declares
that such parties as the one thus
outlayed cannot be tolerated in parl-
lament at this time. This means that
electors must send men acceptable to
the executive or remain disfranchised
and unrepresented.
Queer notions Of constitutionalism,
these. The parliament that was good

ables men to make name for them

The subject of good roads should
be kept constantly in the public mind,
for by the force of public opinion
they are sure to come and the strong
er the opinion the sooner the effect
will be seen, says the Tucson Citizen.
1t is not for any particular neigh
borhood. People cannot say their
own roads are good enough and let
it go at that. Every citizen of the
United States is affected by bad
roads anywhere over the country.
Good roads mean vastly cheaper
transportation and lower prices hun
dreds of miles away. Good roads are
expensive, but bad roads are much
more expensive. Bad roads add to
the cost of food necessities, in time,
labor, horseflesh, vehicles, no matter
where they are. Good roads mean
better land values, better schools,
better farms, better people in the
country districts, and more farm pro-
ducts. Of all the hundred causes
conducive to the high cost of living
nothing has greater direct and in
direct influence in the United States
today than our country roads.

PROFESSORS IN oBITER DIcTA.

The doctors disagree, says the pro-
verb. The professors also, but some
of them, to the amusement of others,
forget that not everything from pro-
fessorial lips is pure truth and severe
science. Absurdties and stupidities
without number are uttered in the
name of poor, defenseless sciences
like psychology, biology and sociol-
ogy.
The harmless nonsense of profess
sors who mistake personal prejudices
and whims for science may be passed
over. No one is shocked by the die
tum of German Psychologist" that
women are not fit for jury duty be-
cause they jump at conclusions and
are constitutionally incapable of re-

NET REVENUE DECREASE.

Net revenues per mile of 125 rail-
roads throughout the United States
during July, August and September
were S96 less this year than in the
same six months last year, accord
ing to statistics prepared by the in
terstate commerce commission in
Washington. Last year these reve-
nues amounted to 81, 1,224 mile, while
this year they were SLIPS.
The loss was most conspicuous in
the eastern district, where the de-
crease in the three months was from
$3.50 to $1,865, decrease of 1926
a mile. The roads in the western dis
trict showed a loss of $42. In the
southern district there was slight
gain, an advance of SO increase pei

The Pueblo Chieftain, running 1t as
a special, published The Herald ac-
count of the railroad rate case meet
ing at the Board of Trade rooms yer
batum, indicating that the argu-l
ments presented by those opposing
Durango intervening we're to the
point. In this connection there is
much to learn about railroad rates.
Two weeks previous to the meeting
most of the big shippers of Durango
favored the Intervention, approving
of the Board of Trade position. 1t
was not until the question was thor
oughly considered in all its phases
that opposition arose and as the di-
rectors desired to carry out the wish
es of the general membership they
decided to withdraw. The discussion
brought out many interesting fact
and it's really too bad every interest
ed Durangoite was not present. They
would have learned much of genera
benefit regarding railroad rates, in
and out On the whole they would
have learned that we are not burd-
ened by freight rates as much as is
generally supposed-that is through
carload rates both in and out In
fact, a commodity rate is given this
section that is hard to beat any
place. 1t is local rates that are high,
but this was shown to be benefit
in many instances. 1t developed that
the local farmer receives practically
the difference between freight rates
and the price paid San Luis valley
farmers for wheat Twenty-Five TO
thirty-five cents more hundred
pounds is paid by the Graden people
than is paid in other parts of the
state. The rate on wheat from the
valley is protection to our farmers
Then, with 81 per ton out rate on
hay makes it possible to ship sur
plus to outside points and the potato
rate likewise. True, shipments Of this
kind have been small in the past but
there is every reason to believe they
will be greatly increased in the fu-
ture. Take the Montrose section.
The out shipments are larger than
the in tonnage and the commodity
rate makes it possible for the west
ern portion of the state to compete
with the eastern portion in potatoes,
etc. Then we are looking forward
to the time when the counties of the
San Juan basin will be shipping hun
dreds of carloads of apples-yes,
thousands of carloads. If differen-
tial is the proper thing on incoming
freight then why not on outgoing
commodities This was gone over
in detail. In potatoes, oats, hay, cat
tie and fruit this section wants the
Denver market as well as that OF
Pueblo. OF course if the Pueblo rate
was to be lowered both in and out
and would remain lower for all time
it would make difference, but there
is no way of knowing whether the
Denver END will be raised or the
Pueblo rate lowered. Outside of the
awkward position in which our good
friends of Pueblo have been placed
the intervention served good pur-
pose as it brought out facts of which
most of our people were ignorant.

WAR, LIFE AND PROPERTY.

Inc ioloWlnR from tne Cnlcapo
Record-Herald is in line with the
position The Herald has occupied
from the first and we invite careful
perusal, especially by those who
think we should step in and take a
hand in Mexico's troubles:
If divers classes of agitators are
allowed to have their way this coun-
try will be forced into. war with
Mexico. Everything that can be done
to this end by means of vague rum
ors, false reports, crude assumptions
as to rights and duties is being
done.
Attempts are made to inflame the
public mind by loose references to
the loss of American lives and prop
erty. No lists are given of the AM
erican dead and there is no effort to
prove that the Mexican government
is responsible for any death that has
occurred. The war dispatches are
silent on these important points, and
the patriots who will content them
selves throughout in making war
from newspaper offices are content
now to slaughter their Americans
under a comprehensive plural that
means nothing.
As regards property rights, we
know only that there have been in
vestments on the part of people who
have taken their chances in Mexico
and who are seeking guaranty from
this government to fortify them
against speculative risks.
Now what would be the effect of
the war that is to save life and prop
erty upon life and property?
Thousands of young Americans
would be drawn from productive en-
Payments and hundreds of them
would be killed. There would be no
doubt about the death lists in this
case. Grief and lasting sorrow would
be the portion of many a family, and
for what good to offset such an evil?
Can anyone tell?
As against those American invest
ors who went out of their country on
| alluring promises concerning specu-
lative profits abroad there are mil
lions of Americans whose savings are
in American securities and American
business. Business is sensitive, the
security market has been in de-
pressed state for year. In order to
borrow money for home enterprises
of real merit that conduce to the
public welfare bonds are issued at
advanced rates of interest. There
are always persons who profit by war
but it is safe to say that a more in
opportune time for war scare than
the present could hardly be imagined.
In many instances we should proceed
from uncertainty to complete para
lysis. This incident of the war would
afflict more people in financial way
than does the fate of all the Amer
lean investments in Mexico, and the
government would have to spend hun
dreds of millions upon its military
operations.
While the warriors on paper are
talking about the loss of life and
property the people should give this
other aspect of the loss of life and
property their very earnest consider
alton. SO much may be said without
any purpose of anticipating or di-
recting the policy of the national ad-
ministration. Whatever that policy
may be, it is certain that the admin
istration ives no debt of gratitude to
the agitators. They are curse to
it and to the country.
