BLAMES DEMOCRACY
FOR DOUBLE MORAL
STANDARDS OF US.
American Woman Has No
Chance to Redeem Past.
Says French Writer.

Paris. Special: That while Ameri-
tan men are able to live down their
past, women are never allowed an OPP
portunity for regeneration, is the con-
clusion as to the working of democracy
in h United States drawn by Bessie
Van Worst, an authoress, who period
ically deals with phases of American
life for the benefit of the French peo-
pie.
Writing in the Gaulois of the Thaw
case, under the caption, Gold and
Law" she insists that in America the
possibility OF commencing a new life,
which, where men are concerned, is
given all the force Of the social, system,
is It's greatest weakness where women
are involved. Whatever the suffragets.
nay say, women are not defenders Of
society in America. With men only in
h United States future counts; with
women. only the past. The American
democracy allows the humblest citizen
who has intelligence and energy to eff
a the memory Of his undesirable
origin, blu women there. as elsewhere,
are subjected to prejudices which men
hold by instinct and against which no
ldealism counts.
Miss Van Worst, referring to the
murder OF Stanford White. asks how it
u that this crime Is still fresh in MEM
ory seven years after the murder was
committed, and is discussed constantly,
while others far more ferocious are al
together forgotten. Here" she says,
son touches the fundamental prin-
ciple of American character. Ameri-
cans never have tried to alter their
original form Of government, and con-
tinue to be content with q constitu.
ton whose idealism is we'll known.
Only n danger could threaten these
primitive theories-the power Of
money. Wealth is unequally distribu-
ted and has been accumulated with
startling rapidly. The American dol
lars represent a dangerous force. But
n people are always on the watch,
proud OF the public wealth, and they
are determined to let the repub-
lican ideal be ~encroached on by an
a~ristrocracy of millionaries." She
points out the absence Of n shown
by Americans toward the richest citi-
n and say that neither the wealth
nor the extravaganza a man may dis
play provokes hostility; but" she
adds, let him beware who tries to
buy privileges. This is what Thaw
tried to do. hence the public is without
morcy. Since the day of his arrest
gold has flowed around him. Finally
the door was opened and the prisoner
escaped, but his cell. will not long re-
main empty. Like all with the blood
of adventures in their veins, the
American respects the caprices of for
tune, but is unyielding on the score OF
Justice"

discussed in the board meeting. but
the trustees were doubtful 9 the
institution being able to handle the
situation. The worthy principal felt
that 1t was a golden opportunity which
could not be let slip. He, therefore,
mortgaged Tam, the one and only piece
of property which he owned individ-

sponsibility for the other payments.
