mancers and been the handspring of
the worlds tragedies, great and small.
lhere is no reason to believe that
women are not innately as immoral,
or as immoral, as men; but they have
held their propensities in leash-when
~ have-through pride, fastidious-
OF two forces more restraining still,
maternity and religion.
The code in this country is still the
highest in the world, but it would be
interesting, nevertheless. to sit down
and recall how many weeks we could
segregate in our lives in which we had
not heard a bit Of scandal in one set
or another; how many days, in fact,
when we have dwelt in cities at the
height of the season. The hope for us
is, or has been, that we loudly upheld
our standards, ceaselessly reiterated
them; that our women, if they fell
from grace, did so with the violence
of the unhinged or with the utmost
circumspection; and that girls whom
circumstances forced to earn their own
bread, monotonously and with hateful
toll, preserved naughty front or took
streets altogether.
But what of the present? The indie
pendent young woman who earns her
bread grows more cynically independ-
ent every year. This is particularly
true Of girls that move to the newer
Western towns in search of lowered
pressure an dhigher wages.
Whether as Office, telephone, tele-
graph girls, clerks, or servants, if they
have any ability whatever, coupled
with industry, they soon find money
easy and conditions far less exacting
than in swarming communities of the
East. In consequence their bodily ia
tigue is less, their hours of pleasure
longer, their demand for pleasure, for
"life" more eager and insistent. Add
to this the reckless atmosphere of
towns scarcely generation old, where
everybody when not working is "out
for good time," where a dollar is
valued as a dime insteaa of the re-
verse, where caste lines are fluid,
where the new-rich women, conspicu-
ously in the eye, are engrossed only in
ing time and money fly, and it
would be more than amazing If these
girls, scantily educated, full blooded,
with no restraining hand, spent their
afternoons and evenings improving
their minds or writing letters home.
With heads too strong to permit
them to "go to pieces" or even to neg
lect their work, they live practically
the same lives as the unattached men
generally in company Of the attach
ed), and are the despair Of the good
women of the Y. w. c. A. The holder
and thoroughly capable damsels laugh
at their best efforts to provide innocent
amusement. They are enjoying life
precisely as men enjoy it, and with no
call for the subterfuges forced upon
the girls at home. And If they are not
blessed with the respect of men. pray
they ask you-what good does a
mans respect do girl when she is
tired out or bored to death? Many of
them have not the least desire to mar
ry; or, knowing the weaknesses and
righteousness of these 'easy spend
ers," especially when young enough
to be new to life" and the wiles of
women, count upon "roping in" a hus-
band when they are good and ready"

ARE WOMEN NO MORE MORAL THAN MEN?

Are women no more moral than
men?
Are the changed conditions brought
about by womens advent into bust
ness and political competition with
men changing women's morality, too?
Read what Gertrude Atherton says
in a. recent article in the Yale Review,
for the famous novelist has expressed
new view-and rather daring one
of the women of today, and perhaps the
answer will be culled. Here is Mrs.
Atherton's rather startling statement:
There is no reason to believe that
women are fundamentally more moral
than men; that is to say, that they are
guided by an instinct unknown to the
great body of virile, careless living
men.
The vast army of self-supporting
women are more concerned with per-
sonal comfort and occasional amuse-
ment than with abstraction of any
sort; and that ever augmenting army
of young women of higher class nom
maternal, passionately Independent, ex-
ulting in modern conditions that per-
nit their sex at least to live unyoked
and unregulated without loss of pres
tige, and with a fair chance of success
in whatever active field they elect to
enter, are far too individualistic to
merge themselves into the general idea
of reform. 1t Is in the last two classes
that women's morals will tend to be-
come one with mans.
Man, having firmly established his
code, with the help Of both law and So
ciety, has never had the least hesita-
tion in violating it himself, openly, if
he is a loose liver, Indifferent to the
pleasures of social groups composed
of stricter or more circumspect men
and women, or If he is young enough
to be forgiven his wild oats" If he is
none of these things he discovers him.
self to the world accidently. A large
number of men are too Indifferent to
women to venture into the zone of dan
ger, and there is still another class,
men of stern, unyielding morality, who
are the backbone of the creed. All var
ieties, however, unite as one man upon
the question of the conduct of the sex
that gives them birth. She must be
good, or she must 'emigrate to the gar
ish and definite district beyond vthe
pale and stay there. So far, not even
as a result Of the modern rapid expan-
sion of the civilized conscience has
anything been said about the girls
sowing wild oats.
Now. how far have women been con-
trolled by this law invented by man
and upheld by society?
At what period Of the worlds history
have women-sheltered women-been
invariably chaste. what period has been
without it's scandals?
l can recall none-in the occident-
save ancient Greece, where the moth
ers, present and potential, were segre-
gated, the hetaerae triumphant class
by themselves, and the admiration of
men was reserved for their own ply
steal perfections; or, perhaps in those
long periods when all the world was at
warm other words, all able-bodied
men on the battlefield and all women
absorbed in keeping thepselves and
their children alive. Otherwise, If his
tory is to be believed, the irregular re-
lations of men and women have ever
diverted society, inspired poets and ro-

BUY YOUR BERRIES
BY DRY MEASURE
LIQUID Measure Is 20 Per Cent Short
of Required Standard - Timely
Warning Issued.

A timely warning has been issued
bv Hugh H. Henry of Chester Depot,
commissioner of weights and measures
for the state of Vermont, concerning
the sale and purchase of berries He
has sent a copy to this paper. 1t
reads as follows:
All persons selling berries, whether
in small or large quantities, and house
hold purchasers of berries should bear
in mind that the dry quart contains
65 Is cubic inches and a liquid quart
81 81 cubic inches. Therefore the
sale of berries by liquid quart is short
selling 20 per cent and renders the
seller liable to fine.
If liquid measure is used for con
venience, the extra amount should be
measured out to equal the dry meas
urc. The simpler and safer way IS to
use the dry measure, or berry bas-
ket Of standard dry measure capacity
dimensions. The latter are so com
mon that there is no excuse for short
/ selling. Any assistance or informa-
ton will be gladly rendered upon re
quest.

died very suddenly in Wenatchee
Wednesday. For a week or more she
had been ailing but it was not until
late Sunday afternoon that her condi-
ton became serious and on the advice
OF DR.. Judah she was taken to Wenat-
chez, where it was found that an oper-
alton would be necessary. 1t proved
of little avail, however, death resulting
about noon Wednesday. The doctors
pronounced the case peritonitis. Miss
Crstens was nearly twenty-five years oi
age and had lived in this city with her
mother for the past ten years. She
leaves four brothers and five sisters.
The funeral services will be conducted
by Rev. Davis from the Congregational
church at two o'clock this afternoon.

Gov. Listers Pet Bill

Among the measures which failed
to pass the legislature was the famous
consolidation bill, commonly called
the king bill," which was designed
to create a fiscal commission composed
of five members to take charge Of the
work of the various commissions. This
bill Governor Lister desired to have
passed and he even went onto the
floor of the house and the senate in its
behalf, but he failed to get the meas
ure passed, the objection to the bill
being that it gave him control of the
state treasurer's office and the state land
office, which are filled by elective Off
GERS, and in addition would give him
charge Of the patronage, and would
strip other state officials Of their pow
ers. For this reason the opposition to
the bill was very strong.

A NEW SHINGLE MILL
ON LAKE WfNATChEE
To be Ready for Operation by the first
of June

From Messrs. Appleton and Carter
whom the Echo announced several
weeks ago would locate shingle mill
on Lake Wenatchee, it is learned that
they have made all preparations and
are planning to have their mill in op-
Grafton not later than June 1st. The
machinery for the plant which will
cost approximately $4,000 when in
stalled has been ordered and is ex-
pected to arrive inside OF another two
weeks. Mr.. Carter states that an Or
der for a carload of lumber was placed
with the Lamb-Davis Lumber Co. last
week and that another carload OF heavy
timbers ordered from Everett will be
shipped this week. The lumber and
machinery will be unloaded at Winton
and hauled to the mill site at the foot
of Lake Wenatchee a distance OF about
FIVE and one half miles. A big crew
Of men will be employed to rush the
mill to a speedy completion and it is
the plans of the owners to be making
shingles inside OF another two months.
The cutting of timber will begin
Immediately which will insure having a
large number OF bolts on the ground
by the time the mill starts.
The capacity will be 100000 shin
giles each working day and night shit,
during which time from twenty to
thirty men will be employed.
The outlook in the shingle business
is very good says Mr.. Carter and they
will continue to add machinery to their
mill from time to time which will in
crease the output. The finished pro-
duct will be hauled to Winton and
shipped from that point.
