Wife No. 8 Disapproves OF
Philosophy of Her so Year
Old Husband

Women are only intended for a
Kitchen or a harem. Women belong
to men by right of capture. A man
should do his own marketing. A
woman can not be trusted either to
buy her clothes or food for the table.
All men who marry are fools. A
man is never popular if seen with
his wife.
The new suffrage law is no good
at all. The days of the barbarians
are the right idea. A man is supreme
over woman. She is simply a chat
tel."-Dr. F ]. Davis of Newport,
Brooklyn, Boston and Oakland, 90
years old.
Further views of Doctor Davis, ex-
planned today by Mrs. Davis, are:
Il believe in harems. Wives are
only incidents. / do not believe in
restrictions by marriage. There are
too many women in the world to re-
main constant to one. II you had a
little more horse sense you would
know very well that / am paying at
tention to another woman--in fact,
to more than one"
This remarkable philosophy was
more than Mrs. Inez Davis, third wife
of the society physician. could stand.
She was granted a divorce yesterday
in Oakland by the superior court She
expounded the remarkable theories
OF her husband secretly before the
court. She cited the cases of Doctor
Davis two former wives. both of
whom obtained divorce.
Doctor Davis did not appear. The
Judgment was entered by default.
Mrs Davis told of having seen her
husband make love to other women
and having heard him make appoint
ments with them.
Doctor Davis is a yachtsman, and
while in Newport was. physician to
the Belmonts and -Goulds. They
moved to Oakland recently. where he
was offered the position of managing
physician at Byron Springs. and he
told his wife, she says, he would only
accept 1t on condition she did not as
sociate with him.

THE GET-ToGETHER MOVE.

The news from Washington that the
Republican and Progressive members
OF Congress arc getting together on
their common opposition to the Wilson
| Underwood tariff bill is good news;
land the ease with which they are get
! ting together on that proposition stim
ulates interest in the proposition to
have get-together National conven
ton the present year. We have stated
heretofore that we considered the pres
emf year rather too soon TO undertake
this get-together combination for the
Republican party, But, perhaps, the ia
cility with which the Republican and
Progressive members in both houses
are able to meet on the common ground
of opposition to this bill will pave the
way for a general reconciliation this
year in place Of next year, as we had
reckoned 20 be the best time for such
reconciliation. We came to that con
clusion for tie reason that the evils
of the Democratic tariff bill will not
be fully evident until next year, and
because next year is the year when new
members of Congress are to be elected.
But if events can SO hasten the reunion
as to bring the two factions Of the
party together this year, it will be all
the better.
There appears to be a good working
condition Of harmony in the Senate
among all the elements Of the Republic
an party. Indeed, there seems no rea-
son why any man who has accepted the
Republican doctrine of protection
should now fail to record his opposi-
tion to the Democratic tariff PROPOSE
tions. And since these propositions are
bound to be the leading feature in next
year S Congressional elections, the
sooner the Republicans and Progress
sives get together on the point of af-
firmative adherence to. protection and
negative opposition TO the Democratic
tendency towards free trade, the bet
ter it will be for the country aud for
the party. And every time one thinks
of this question, the regret is accen-
tuated that the standpat Senators in
1909 did not have the forethought and
political sagacity to see that their
course was ruinous. II they had real
lied the situation then and had made
a revision of the tariff downward on
protection lines there would have been
20 split in the Republican party, no
disgust with that party on the part OF
the people, and the Republican nomi-
nen would now he President of the
United States with substantial ma
iority in both houses of Congress to

EXPENDITURE ON ROADS.
We see statement that the. State Of

We see statement that the. State Of
New York has spent S22,O00,o00 on
roads. and that of this SIS, 900 was
wasted or stolen, only sl3,200.000 of
the gross sum being efficiently and
properly spent so that the public got
value received in the way of good roads
for its money. A waste of $S.S00.000 in
a gross sum Of 500, 100000 is a loss TO
the public of forty per cent We sub
nit that loss like this is utterly in
| defensihle. and shameful arraignmeDt
of the management of the business in
volved. II the State of New York
cannot get better results than that in
the expenditure of its road money, New
York administration generally being ac-
corded n high place in the list of eff
cheney as among the States. then sure
~ other States will have to keep a keen
watch upon their road expenditures.
We cite these figures now since the
proposition to issue $1,000.000 in bonds
by Salt Lake county for the making of
good roads is placed prominently before
the public by the report Of the sub
committee from the Good Roads Com
mittee Of the Commercial Club in this
city, and the approval Of that report
by the board of governors of the
club We do not, in presenting these
figures, wish in any way to impugn
the honesty, the efficiency, the expert
knowledge, much less the good inten-
tions of those who would have the
handling of this money, and the build
ing of the roads that the money that
the proposed issue Of $1,0O0,0o0 in
bonds would accomplish We simply
present it as part of the general
business of good road making, and as
warning that it will be necessary for
those who handle this money to exer.
else the utmost diligence and care so
as in fact TO get good roads and to in.
ture of the money.
There is no question at all about the
necessity of good roads. There is not
the slightest doubt about the economic
value of good roads, nor Of the profit
that would come to the people of this
CouuIJ, lue ana COHSuNlcTS
alike, If we had proper system of
good roads throughout But it is nee
essary to be cautious, to be prudent,
taking every forethought possible to
avoid the waste or misapplication of
money, and to insure the best models
of good road making that can be had.
There is no question but that there is
sufficient ability in the United States
to make good roads, There is no ques-
tion but that there is business eff
cheney enough to insure the proper ap-
plication Of money to this purpose. 1t
is simply question of proceeding hon
estly and OF putting expert ability in
charge Of the work.
And this is the lesson which we
would draw for the benefit of Salt
Lake county from the forty per cent
waste which is reported in the road

CURRENCY LEGISLATION.

The dispatches from Washington
evinee a more confident tone every day
On the probability of currency legisla-
tion at the present extra session of Con-
gress President Wilson is said to he
studying the question fully, and report
is that he is disposed to consult the Re
publican members of the Senate in The
proposed currency legislation. Still, as
we have pointed out heretofore. cur
rency legislation is so necessarily sup
Elemental to the passage of the Demo
cratic tariff revision bill that we do
not see how this extra session can ad-
journ without revising the currency
system so as to make firlner founda-
ton for our banks and provide for
emergency issues Of currency at need.
Such legislation must provide more i'm
mediate supplies of currency than
would be otherwise possible in the ap-
plication Of the revised tariff law TO
our conditions, in case Of business
trouble.
There is no question but that the
passage of this tariff revision will
make a considerable strain on credits,
ard on the banking system, since the
changes in the tariff will create new
conditions practically all over the coun
try, and especially in the great money
centers. AS we have stated before, the
banks which are now at the back of
large business concerns, manufacturing
and otherwise, are likely, to feel that
those business concerns are not to he
considered as prosperous, at least for
time, under the new tariff conditions as
under the conditions that have been
created by protection,

against the charges that will certainly
be brought against their tariff legisla-

and other business conditions in the

Since any adverse conditions that
may come up will assuredly be charged

WASTING THE VOLUNTEERS.

We find this suggestive little item on
the military defenses of this country
in the editorial columns of the ST. Louis
| Globe Democrat:
| Secretary OF War Garrison says this
, country should not depend alone on
| fortresses, II never has done So When
matters grow especially serious the vol
unteers become the big fact in the situa-
| ton.
Secretary Garrison is quite right in
his proposition that this country should
not depend alone on fortresses for its
protection. Neither should it depend
too much upon coast fortifications of
any kind, for an active, alert, well-in-
formed enemy will find means at all
times to flank our fortifications and
fortresses, and will then attack and de.
| ploy from unexpected places.
