newspaper reports are TO be believed,
Hagerstown is on the verge OF abig Scan-
dal. For some time il has been whisper
ed rather loudly that there were racy
affairs going on at well-known eating
and drinking place and at certain social
club-affairs involving so many promi-
nent persons that the magistrates hesitat-
ed TO 60 into investigation OF the matters
complained Of. The grand jury of the
present term of court, however, has been
probing, and il is said that shocking and
scandalous details have been revealed.
One young woman has told what she
knows, and l65 Hagerstown men are in
state OF panic. Some have their grips
packed ready to leave, others are sitting
up late at night trying to frame excuses
satisfactory to their wives, while others
are spending large sums arranging for
alibis.
AS usual, promiscuous liquor drinking
is at the bottom of the trouble.

THE President and his advisers are still
acting conservatively in regard to the
Mexican situation, and are dealing with
Huerta, the dictator, with patience, though
immovably firm in their expressed deter
mination that nothing short OF a properly
constituted government will be permitted
to stand. The European powers inter
ested in Mexico seem entirely satisfied
with the attitude OF our government, and
if is believed that Huerta must soon COL
lapse.
Governor Colquitt, of Texas, seems to
be extra spunky, as he declared a few
days ago that if the Mexicans started any
trouble along the border OF his State he
would pitch right in without waiting for
action upon the part of the federal forces.

I realized that it was a serious
proposition to live an illegal married
life of mOnOgamy. so 1 made a plan
to escape. 1 had heard that there
were countries outside of Tibet where
a woman could be married legally to
one husband. This appealed to me,
and l revealed the secret to M hus-
band. As he loved me, he consented
to share my fate. and thus one night
we left the State M KuO and finally,
after a hard journey Of weeks,
reached Persia. Here we learned that
this was a country Of pOlygamy,
where a man was in the same posi-
ton in which a woman was in Tibet.

cal supremacy. It took them a cen
fury to become the masters Of the
situation. They got their victory by
a religious trick in directing all the
attention of their men ON Lamaism.
In Tibet a man has limited prop
erty and political rights. As long as
he IS unmarried he is. under the
guardianship of his mother, but after
the marriage the wife is the master.
When a wife dies the man inherits
her property only when she has no
children. Yet, in spite Of that, the
men are obliged to take care of
earning the means of living for the
family. In the upper class the men
figure as the ornaments of society
and attend all the religious rites, in
stead of their women. On other oc-
caSiOns they are hOusekeepers, nurses,
servants, cooks or practitioners of
certain profession. They are nothing
but commercial automatOns. Our men
serve in the army as common sol
diers while women are always the
generals
In the various arts women main
tain the same supremacy that they
have in social and political affairs,
Our artists in sculpture, printing Of
books, painting. decorating and cary

and stay at home. Men who hnger
after sunset in our public parks or
on the streets are considered immoral
and are severely dealt with by the
women police officers.
This peculiar woman rule in Tibet
has resulted in polyandry. A woman
can have as many husbands as she
is able to manage without any
trouble. But usually our women have
have only two or three husbands.
When I was a girl Of eighteen my
mother said to me that it was time
to look for a husband. But / already
was in love with a young musician at
Latang, the highest town in the
world, being fifteen thousand feet
over the sea level. 1 told the secret

men, he was very bashful and shy
when I called on him in his apart
ment.
"Ritsig, I love you and want you
TO become my husband I said.
Dropping his eyes he whispered:
Miss KOmisheva, you make me
happy. I feel confused at your sweet
message, but shall try to be your
Obedient servant as long as you love
me-"
l threw my arms around his neck
and kissed him for the first time. He
felt greatly embarrassed. for in ali
romantic affairs women take the in
itiatiye and men for that reason are
cOquettish and effeminate. He was
a very handsome and fascinating
youth Of my age, and 1 asked him
why he had not been married by
some woman before.

wv HILE IN Tibet woman suffrage
M is an antiquated story, I find
w it here an exciting novelty
of the day. Our women have not only
enjoyed political equality, but su-
premacy for seven hundred years,
and for about the same length of
time We have had a feministic tyran-
ny in its last word.
M KuO State, in Eastern Tibet,
has always been the backbone Of all
our feministic fads. There a man
can never be a ruler, a judge. or a
general Of the army. In some of our
western States men have only re-
Gently been made the nominal admin
istratOrs, but in reality women are
the power behind the curtains. I find
that YOUR American women are de-
manding only equality in political af-
fairs. Thus did the women of Tibet
In 1896, nearly 700 years ago. As our
women did, thus yours will soon, de
mand the supremacy And they viii
get it, too. In our country a woman
is the master Of everything. She is
not only the head of the family, but
the head Of every more or less con-
spicuous social institution. She CON-
mands and the man Obeys.
If YOU ask me whether our men
like their inferior position. I must
reply: They have grown Indifferent
in their social ambitions. and do not
care whether a COW or a woman is
on the throne.
