Wonen's Struggle
From EDWIN MARKHAM,

opposing tendencies Is eternaIv
waged. SO long as the reyoIu-
tionaTy individual stands. alone he
Is outlawed; it is only when he
acquires following, an adequate
number Of sympathizers and sup
porters, that accepted ideas be-
gin to give way before him.
The progressive individual in
the case Of a woman, has. there-
fore two-fold struggle with con
tormlty; she has to contend. with
the accepted type, with the ruling
masculine notion has set up for
"omanhood and also. with the
actual predominating woInanlg
type which stands for the average
OF me sex as it is at this moment.
The classical example Of this
tendency toward progress in the
female sex is, offered by. those
women who first introduced, the
feminist movement. For over a
century they and their successors
had to be content to be reckoned
as. degenerates. They were gen
orally regarded as perverted
types' not to be ranked. among
worthy specimens of their sex
indeed, 1t Is not SO long since
they were spoken of as men
women. 1t was not possible to
View as other than freaks and
aonormalities these creatures who
came upsetting established ideas
and Questioning approved tenets
Inc new paths they sought to
make for themselves could be
held to be nothing but blind al
leys down which the sex was be
ing enticed astray from its ma
tural sphere and its natural des
uny. Even now we may heaI
the. voices of those who persist
IN regarding the entire feminist
movement as a symptom of de-
generation.
SO long as the feminist move
ment was entirely REVOLUTIONARY
women were right in directing
their energies not against average
humanity in general, but against
their active Philistine opponents
IN particular. They could repulse
this type Of humanity, and regard
1t as their enemy so far as FEM
nine problems were concerned.
But the time has already come
when the revolutionary has pass
ed into the organized state: that
is to say when the movement
must be in normal relation to f.
adherents. Their demands are
beginning to have results. Til"
equity Of them is being recogniz-
ed, and economic conditions are
rapidly preparing the way for
their realization"

MORE ABOUT JURY TRIALS

civilized country The jury must
be satisfied to a moral and rea-
sonable certainty, and beyond a
REA SONABLE DOUBT. but the
judge is not so required.
The jury watches the evidence
to ascertain what 1t PROVES,
while the judge watches it only
to see that il is ADMISSIBLE.
Under these circumstance It is
to be expected that the jury will
know more about the proof than
the court, for that responsibility
IS on them while the construc-
ton of the law is on the court.
When you reduce convictions to
cases Of ABSOLUTE CERTAIN
TY, and require ALL DOUBT to
be removed. you simply take the
bride off and open the door for
every species Of crime.

rbRMAN UER, in
II a translation from the Ger
man printed by Doran,
presents a thoughtful study of
the women's movements as seen
by. the WE'LL known European
writer, Rosa Mayreder. From one
of the chapters l note these sug-
gestive thoughts:
at is undeniable that there are
many women who go far beyond
the average in regard to intellect
and strength of character, and
many who are well qualified for
careers and occupations other
than those customary to the sex.
There are many-but are these
enough?
AT all periods Of the worlds
history there have been women
who have equafed or even exceHed
the majority of men in intelH-
gence and in energy; yet they
have. not been able to alter the
social position of their sex either
in the. matter Of the law or in
regard to standards of opinion
They were exceptions, and have
been treated as such. They were
exceptions-that is to say, they
were not specimens Of a new line
of development; they were not
pioneers. opening out new routes
for a future generation to follow
and develop; they had no. sue
cessors.
But the battle between the
normal majority and the indt-
vidual deviating from the normal
and striving to break down its
tyranny goes down deep into the
constitution of society; and the
process is nothing less than the
organic evolution of civilization.
There are some who will have
nothing to do with external rules,
they will not obey the traditional
code of laws, but will listen only
to the behests of their own ma
ture. The destiny of such ino-
vators varies according to the
force of their personality, ire
spective of their field of intel
lectual activity They may be
merely ridiculed or ignored, they
may be misund erstood OF perse-
cuted, their end may be misery,
insanity or a martyrs death.
such men are in truth martyrs
in the cause of humanity To
them we owe every forward step
in the progress of the race from
the condition of beasts up to the
noblest and loftest civilization.
And when people ceases to pro-
duce such individuals II sinks into
petrifsction or stagnation; its
power of development dies away.

Railroads and canals, mines and
immense harvests sustain a Ger

a significance not attaching either
to his stomach or his purse; and
what is true, of a man, consid-
cred as an individual, is, peculiar
" true of man considered collec-
lively and nationally
Tho United States has shown
rather a frenzied ambition to eX-
tend its landed domain, but the
opening up to us of the treasures
of foreign literature means a
finer expansion than the acQuisi-
ton Of new acres and miles Of
tillage and pasturage.
our country. if it is going to
count as a great universal asset,
has got TO learn to cultivate itself
more and more on the finer side
OF its nature and in the more SUI
perb reach Of its possibilities
Another result to which the
publication of this great work
may be expected to contribute
will be the relaxing Of that in
ternational tension which exists
between as and Germany.
That does not mean that there
are on the side of either party
any sentiments Of actual enmity,
but there exists among all peo-
pies sufficient of original harba-
rism TO make every nation regard
every other nation with a degree
og suspicion and disfavor and to
hold it in a state Of continual
wonderment as 10 how long it

SEES
BRIGHT FUTURE
FOR TERRITORY

Predicting a bright future for Ha-
Waii in the pro- Lotion OF foOdstnffS
and the improvement of her harbor
and other facilities, W. T. Donnelly,
the engineer who installed the new
Inter-IsIand drydock, spoke before the
members of the Commercial Club and
their friends this noon. He paid an
excellent compliment to the climate
of the Hawaiian islands, saying that,
as New Yorker, he had heard much
of the islands and that his expecta-
tio..s had been borne out
He took up the question of the tar
iff, saying that, although he is 4
confirmed Republican, he believes
that in spite Of the tariff, the con-
stantly increasing demand for sugar
would create for it a good, profitable
price, tariff or no tariff. He said that
the time would come when the tariff
would be taken care of by those who
believe in the American protection
policy. Again, coming back to Homo
lulu. he expressed a surprise at the
fine harbor and docks of which the
city beasts, saying that the only crit
icism which he had to make was
that the harbor was too small in area
to accommodate the traffic which is
sure to come this way after the open
ing of the Panama canal. which will
revolutionize trade in the Pacific
ocean.
He urged thai more thought be
given to the cultivation of foodstuffs
in the fields. Human beings, he said,
are today eating more oats and corn
than horses or other animals. Pur-
suits Of this character, he said, are
sure to result in successful exploita-
ton.
He said that immigration to the
Hawaiian Islands was profitable to
the white man, and that at the same
time it would tend to develop a sue
cessful business man.

new SHERIFF

Letter from Civil Service Body
Fails to Meet Approval
of Supervisors

ct seems to me we need a brand
new sheriff more than an inspector Of
police. Pacheco. ."
Thus began the break between the
board Of supervisors and the cevil ser
vice commission which has been
threatening for some time. 1t began
when a letter was read at the meeting
CT the supervisors today, letter from
the commission asking that an in
spector and instructor Of police be
provided for as soon as possible.
1t has been rumored for a number
of days that the city fathers were dis
pleased with the report made to them
by the commission. in which many
recommendations were incorporated
fer the improvement Of the police and
fire departments, and that they felt
the commission was exceeding its
rights.
The letter suggesting the appoint
ment of an inspector was laid on the
table after some hot words, but the
incident has not yet closed, it is said.
At the next meeting of the board a
report from the ways and means COM
mittee is expected to be introduced
criticising the commission, and also
at that time an opinion of Deputy City
and County Attorney Weaver on the
same point.
The civil service commission was
created to be a disciplinary body

has gone further than that and at
tempted to exercise powers it is not
given"
Durig the words exchanged after
the reading of the communication, Su-
pervisor Pacheco declared that there
was no need of an inspector of police
if a competent sheriff were in Office.
I'VE should have efficiency there"
he declared, but an instructor is not
needed"
