If girls cannot proffer marriage, they do

THE girls who are most likely to make
mistakes in choosing are the girls who
have a limited acquaintance among
young men. The girl who has a wide
circle Of friends is not likely to fall into
the mistake Of thinking that all men are
alike, or of falling in love with the first
apology for a man she meets.

should marry and have homes. A woman

IN regard to Thomas Jefferson, the
Father Of Democracy. President Jeffer-
son discontinued the custom because 1t
seemed a needless waste of his time
and because there would be a resulting

Comments on Action.
The announcement of Mr.. Wilson's in
tention was SO unexpected that members
of Congress hardly knew what to say
tonight. 1t was apparent. however. that
some of them were inclined to couple
this innovation with the Presidents re-
cent activity in framing the tariff bill,
and to argue that 1t indicated too ready
a disposition on his part to participate
OF the government.
Mr.. Wilson, when he was Governor of
New Jersey, showed that he did not in
tend to be bound by precedents when he
believed they were unwise. More thar
once, when Governor of the State, he
addressed the New Jersey Legislature in
support of measures he advocated and on
at least one occasion he sent the secre-
tary. Joseph p. Tumulty, to suggest that
he be invited to a caucus of the Demo-
Gratis OF the Lower House of the Legisla-
ture. The invitation was extended and

How to Choose Husband"
Is Told in Pulpit Lecture
"D0N'TS" FOR sPINsTERs.

Don't marry a man who says
he will die Of a broken heart if
you don't marry him. I have at
tended great many funerals,
but never one of that kind?
Don't marry man in the
hope Of reforming him. When
he says he will give up all his
bad habits after you are married,
he is lying, though he may not
know it,
Don't marry a man who is
avowedly ungodly. Let him find
some one else as Goddess as him
self"
Don't marry a man until you
know who he is and where he
comes from. One will not EN-
gage a clerk or house servant
without recommendations, yet
many a woman marries a man
without knowing the least thing
about his antecedents."
Don't marry man that you
know to be selfish"
Don't expect perfection in a
husband or you will be disap-
pointed.

State Head Does Not Admit
Charges Are Filed Against
Ambassador.
MADERISTS ARE PLEASED
Followers Of Late President Said to
Rejoice at Indirect Attack on
the Present Regime.

Secretary of State Bryan yesterday
afternoon declined to discuss the charges
against Henry Lane Wilson. Ambassa-
dor to Mexico, said to have been filed at
the State Department recently in the
name of Manuel Rojas, formerly an Of
fetal attached to the Mexican Congress.
Mr.. Bryan would not, in fact, admit that
such charges had been received. nor
would any one at the State Department
acknowledge it.
Though 1t is not expected that Mr..
Bryan will give any official recognition
to Manuel Rojas or his charges against
the American Ambassador at Mexico
City. it is most likely that he will in
vestigate carefully Mr.. Wilson's conduct
in relation to the fighting in Mexico City
and his relations to Gems. Huerta and
Diaz in their overthrow of the late
President Madero.
Friends of Henry Lane Wilson believe
that the present Secretary OF State is
inclined to take very seriously accusa-
tions made against the, Ambassador in
last six weeks. The charges made by
Rojas are substantially those made by
Maderistas following the killing of the
late President, and have been fully ex-
plotted hitherto in both countries.
Pleased Mt Attacks.
1t has been most obvious that the Ma
dero sympathizers have been most pleased
at the publication of charges that Am
bassador Wilson had a guilty knowledge
of the plot to overthrow Madero and
finally of the plot to kill him. They have
not hesitated to add fuel to the fire
whenever opportunity presented itself.
1t is their hope that the Huerta goa
eminent continually may be presented to
the American people in such bad light
that any one having anything 10 do with
it will be found in an embarrassing posi-
ton.
The situation created by the Rojas
charges is the more interesting because
it comes just when a committee. rep
resenting the American colony in Mex
leo City, Is in Washington to urge the
retention of Mr.. Wilson as Ambassador.
This committee has seen the President.
Secretary Bryan and many Senators.
They indorse every act of the Ambas-
sador's in the crisis in the Mexican CAPT.
tai during the fall Of the Madero gov
eminent, declaring that he did what
was best for the safety of foreign life,
and property. 1t is these same acts
which the Rojas charges make the basis
of their accusation.

JAPANESE PROTEST
NOT THE FIRST ONE
Alien Land Law Legislation Killed at
Request Of Former Seere-
tary Knox.
NEVER BECAME PUBLIC

That he objection filed by the Japan
csc Ambassador against pending land
legislation in California. aimed at the
Japanese farmer. is the second of the
kind which the Japanese government
has presented at Washington in the last
few onths became known here last
night
1t was learned that in the last days of
the Taft administration Secretary Knox
was confronted with precisely the same
situation as that now before Mr.. Bryan
as Secretary Of State. Mr.. Knox acted
promptly, however. and his action had
the desired effect, so that the matter
never became public
The fact is that bills almost identical
with those pending in the California
Legislature. intended to eliminate the
Japanese farmer, were presented in the
Legislature of the State of Washington.
They died sudden death, because Of
the action of the japanese Ambassador
here, Vicount Chinda. The ambassador
informed Secretary Knox that his gov
eminent could not regard the enactment
of the proposed land hills into law as an
act friendly to Japan, or consistent with
the provisions Of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
treaty of 1911. AS in his statement to
mia bills, the Ambassador did not then
make any formal protest, but simply
warned the government of the United
States what might be expected IL the
legislation were put through.
Secretary Knox wrote to the Governor
of Washington informing him OF the at
titude of the Japanese government. As
n result Of this letter from tine Secretary
of State. the measures which the jap
ancse government found offensive never
became law, and Furthermore, no pub
licity was attached to their legislative
death.
Now that II is known that the raft ad-
promptly and quietly dis
posed of a case exactly similar to that
before the Wilson administration. there
Is an even greater interest in what action
Secretary OF State Bryan decides upon.
His task may be compli cated by the fact
that all the people of California. accord
ing to representations made to him yes
terday by members Of the California del
egation 81 Congress, are determined that
the japanese farmer shall be eliminated,
and are unit in support of the pending
measures in the State Legislature
