4 modern lover who resorted to
brute force to win his lady would soon
find himself in the street, if not In the
police station. But fashions in pro
pOsals have changed in q thousand
years, and when William the ConQueror
set out To make Matilda, daughter of
the Count of Flanders. the happiest
Of maidens he adopted measures that
were forciblc. to say the least. The
New York Sun tells the story Of his
tempCStuuuS woOinG:
Tie suitor Matilda had she did not
want, and the man she wished to WOO
her she could not get. The man she
did not want happened to be William,
duke of Normandy, and he decided to
go TO Bru&cs and conquer Matilda.
There were no national roads through
France in those days, and William
doubtless had II hard trip. Perhaps
Matilda noticed the mud on his clothes
when she came out Of church and
found him waiting for her.
At any rate, William descended from
his horse, and taking Matilda firmly
by the back of the neck, rolled her
owe 3ll'l ON ct III the Ol bEuSeS,
planting well directed blows upon her
royal face and body with his other
hand. Life was elemental a thousand
years ago.
This strenuous lOvemaking somehow
appealed to Matilda. Perhaps 1t was
what she would have liked to do to
iiTihtric. the gentleman she could not
get. who was only the English am

solved to marry no man but Duke
William.
Later. after William had conquered

might name Matilda did not have to

and kept him there all the rest Of his

wise custom OF restricting woman's

NATIONAL VOTERS LEAGUE

Washington, July 22-"Ye shall
know the truth and the truth, shall
make you free" This motto is
the guide and purpose of a new
movement inaugurated by new
organization, the National Voters
League which has just set up its
headquarters in Washington.
To know the truth about men and
measures, truth told with dispas-
sionate imIartiality, unswayed by
any ulterior consideration except
the ultimate good of the whole
people -Ehis is the purpose of the
National 'Vot'rs' League.
But truth concerning federal
legislation is rare and precious
commodity. There are many con-
siderations why people do not learn
the truth. Newspapers and maga-
zines are CO.. Sol!ed or swayed by
interests OF o3r scrt or another pol,
itical OF ron,e.3S aial.
Some Of the really vital facts
are not regarded as news and a!e
never printed. Or the truth is
colosed by the teller of it.
The National Voters League
aims to put before its members all
of the vital faces concerning Con
gress. without coloring or inter.
preting them, hut culling them max.
ed from the records. 1t is not a
lobby; it is forwarding no propa-
ganda. It's firm faith is that the
destiny Of the republic can be safe.
ly trusted to the people when they
know the facts.
The names of some of the great
leaders of progressive thought are
found on the Leagues executive
committee. Among them are Her.
bert S Biglow, the follower of Tom
l. Johnson, and a crusader for
direct government in Ohio; Pro.
fessor John r Commons, the great
economist of the University of
Wisconsin; Ida M Tarbell, Of the
Amerian Magazine, who exposed
the Standard Oil Company, and who
is one Of the worlds most enlighten-
ed women; Mrs Borden Hartman,
who has just been named by Presi-
dent Wilson to the Industrial Com
mission; Charles e Merriam, the
progressive of the University of
Chicago; Fredrick M Howe, the
authority on advanced municipal
government; Herbert Quick, of
Omaha, a well known progressive
journalist; and a number of others
whose names inspire confidence in
the success of the league.
The League will distribute vital
information to it's members through
monthly bulletins and through an
annual book bound for preserva-
tiOn. This book will be the analy-
sis of each session Of Congress and
will contain the records of the
members. The purpose Of this pub
licity is 0) to improve the per-
sonncl of Congress by defeating
unfaithful stewards of the public
trust; (2) to reform the procedure
of Congress directing effort against
the secret caucus, the secret COM
mittee meeting md organization

60 to make the environment Of
Congress more favorable to good

difference that. in view of this expert
ence, the police will be more cautious
and it will probably be a lifetime be-
fore they are again caught.
At present municipal government in
the United States is a dismal failure,
for the principal reason that business
men will not mix in politics. So long
as their lives and property are protect
ed by the police, they do not partieu-
larly care what becomes of the strang-
er within their city's gates. 1t will
be noticed that from the accounts of
the bunko mems operations contained
in the San Francisco press, all the vic
Tins were strangers.
There will be no lasting reform in
municipal politics until the business
men awaken to the fact that taking
an interest in city affairs is one of the
first duties of citizenship.

FREE WOOL BILL PASSES HOUSE

The free wool bill has passed the
lower house of congress, and all that
now stands between it's becomin a law
is the senate. which is Democratic, and
ordinarily free trade. However, as
the Silver State has pointed out,
there is still a chance for a portion of
the duty, say about 10 per cent, to be
retained on wool. Four Democratic
senators voting with the Republicans
will defeat the bill. Assuming that
the two Democratic senators from
Louisiana will combine with two more
Democratic senators and agree to vote
against the wool schedule in return for
their votes against free sugar, and
the free wool and sugar schedules of
the Underwood bill are defeated. 1t
thus seems wholly within the power
of Senators Newlands and Pittman to
save one of the principal industries of
their state. Will they do itl
The free-wool talk which has ema-
mated from the White house since the
fourth of March has been expensive
for Nevada, and particularly for Hum
boldt county. In this county 2,000,
300 pounds, or more than % per cent
of the total output of the state, is pro-
duced. Taking into consideration the
depleted wool stocks of the world, it
is generally conceded that were it not
for this free-wool talk, it would be
selling today around % cents per
pound, as against from 10 to II cents.
Thus from 100000 to 100000 has
been taken out of Humboldt county
alone, or from $4,000 to $4,000 has
been taken out of the pockets of every
man, woman and child residing IN this
county. On the total production of
the state, which amounts to approx
mately 100000 pounds, the loss is
close to s. ,000,000.

treated to a like expose, one or two

sent to the penitentiary for short
