Men! Women! Bury the.
Past When You Wed!
IF 1t Is Full of Mistakes That Can Be Lived
Down, 1t Does No Good to Reveal 1t.
Present and Future Alone Count
By DOROTHY DIX.

TINE story that Hardy told in
his great novel, Tess of
the d'Urbervilles, repeated
itself in real life in another city
the other day.
A young couple got married and
agreed to tell each other every
thing that had ever happened to
them. The man told his story.
and the woman forgave him his
sins. The girl told Of a single
step that she had taken aside
from the strait and narrow road,
and the man upbraided her
with every revilement he could
think of, and ordered her out of
the little home they had fur
nished with such hope and happi-
ness The young wife--she was
only a child OF 1S-went. But
she did not go through the door.
She threw herself out of the win
dow and was dashed to death on
the stones of the street below.
This sad case is q pathetic
illustration of the double standard
of morals that the world has set
up for men and women. The man
may do with IMMUNITY what the
woman is damned for doing. The
man excuses In himself the weak
nesses that he never forgives in
her, and he expects her to lightly
condone in him the offenses for
which he puts her out Of doors.
The most absurd and arrogant
provision of this double standard
of conduct is the theory that OBJ
tains that a woman who has had
a past should reveal 1t all to the
man who asks her to marry him
before marriage, and that II she
doesn't do so she has been guilty
of a mosr reasonable act

Unless It Menaces His

over his bachelor days.
And there is not a whit more
reason why woman should tell
man she is going to marry every
detail of her past life than there
is why he should tell her. She
has a right to appeal from the
man-made double standard and
subscribe to a single standard of
morals for both sexes with perfect
assurance that whatever hers are
they are as good as those of her
husband-elect.
She hasn't a right to bring dis
ease or disgrace into her new
home, but If she is one of those
unfortunate ones, a girl who.
through being ignorant and IN
taught, or too loving and trusting
has been betrayed into doing a
wrong that she has repented in
Bitterness and tears, she has lust
as much Of a right to put that
wrong behind her as man would
have had he committed 1t, and to
go forward to a happy and useful
life.
1t is not fair that her whole
life should be wrecked by a sin
gle misdeed, as it would be if she
confessed 1t to the man who
asked her to marry him. It
would brand her forever after
ward in his eyes as woman with

at her without seeing her skirt
stained with mud, although in
reality there might be only the

If the man was much in love

wouldn't.

FORD IN THE MOVIES
Pictures at Princess Saturday Will
Show Operation of Big Factory

1t is sometimes enormously
thought that Ford automobiles
are made of old tin cans and
other kindred material. Such
is not the case. Just how and of
what the Ford is constructed will
be shown in motion pictures at
the Princess theatre Saturday
evening of this week. The pic
lures show the operation of the
mammoth Ford factory which
has gained a worldwide reputa-
ton for efficient and scientific
management.
The Ford is shown in the var
ious stages of manufacture and
the pictures take the audience
for an interesting sightseeing
trip through the big plant.

HORSES OFF TO WAR
Thirty Carloads Shipped from Walla
Walla to the French Government

Eight hundred and fifty horses
were shipped yesterday after
noon by William Russell, agent
of the French government, after
several weeks of buying and in
specting, under direction of the
French government officials says
the Walla Walla Union. The
horses filled over 30 cars and
were billed to Jersey City, New
Jersey.
They were loaded aboard the
cars at the fair grounds where
the inspections have been held
for some time. Included in the
lot were both cavalry and artil-
lery horses.
This is the first shipment, ac-
cording to Mr.. Russell, who left
yesterday afternoon for the Wal
Iowa country with the French in
spectors, to look at more horses
offered there. Shipments will be
continued indefinitely until the
was is over or until the supply
here is exhausted.

Request for Creation of Port
of kennewick Goes to the
County Commissioners

The second petition, asking
that special election be called
for the purpose of creating a
Kennewick port district was
completed and filed with County
Auditor Lynn this week. The
petition circulated under the di-
rection of the rivers and harbors
committee of the Commercial
club bore the signatures of $50
voters residing within the boun-
daries of the proposed district.
1t is probable that the port
election will not be held until
some time in March. The petition
will be submitted to the commits
sioners next week. After they
have acted upon it, the law re-
quires that fifteen days notice
be given before the date of the
election is set. 1t will then be
necessary to give notice of the
election before the vote can be
taken.

WILL SALOONS OF

Attorney Advises Proprietors to
Continue Business in Spite
of the Local Option

Up in the county seat, watch

New Year in will be merely Incl
dental to watching whether or
not, when the Old Year goes out
with a bang, the doors of Pros
ser's two saloons go shut with a
bang. Prosser voted "dry" with
a bang last month but now it
looks as though the county seat
dwellers would be given chance
to slake their thirsts at public
emporiums at will for another
year. At least there is going to
be a scrap about it.
In voting the town went doub-
ly "dry." The people gave the
state wide prohibition measure
a comfortable majority and a
majority Of nine to abolish the
saloons under the local option
law. Ordinarily this would have
put the town dry January 1, 1915

former.

RABBIT DRIVE SUNDAY
Extensive Plans Have Been Made for
Hunt Near Burbank January 3

On Sunday, January 3, a rab-
bit drive will be conducted at the
north end of the Burbank pro-
ject where no drives have here
tofore been held and where the
rabbits are much thicker than
they ever were in the vicinity of
the earlier drives. A plan of
drive has been carefully worked
out by the citizens at Burbank
and arrangements have been
made to direct the hunters
as they arrive, so as to
make a very successful drive.
Hunters from Spokane and
Pasco will be m ct a t
the Northern Pacific Burbank
station on the arrival of the Pen
dleton train and will be conduct
ed to the vicinity Of the Riley
place to start the drive. Teams
and leaders will be at the O-W.
R. & N. bridge across the Col
umbia at 9 a. m. to receive and
direct the hunters from Kenne-
wick and the same applies to
meeting the train from Walla
Walla at 1880 a. m. at the Nor
thern Pacific Burbank station.
The finish of the drive will be
near the old school house in sec.
tion 36 where rabbit proof fences
will be arranged for the entrap-
ping of the rabbits. Only shot.
guns will be permitted to be used
! in the course of the drive anC
any amount Of ammunition car
be obtained at the new Pence &
Hill store in Burbank at the us.
ual prices.
Coffee and sandwiches will be
served at the old school house
free for lunch. All hunters viii
be able to leave on outgoing
trains on the evening of the
drive.

THE MAIL SERVICE is POOR
Patrons of Richland Office Make Pro-
tests at Public Mass Meeting

Ever since the change in mail
from the auto-stage way to car
rying it by boat, there has been
more or less dissatisfaction
among patrons Of the local post
Office, for the reason that under
the boat system of transporta-
tion the mail received in Kenne-
wick on one day does not reach
Richland until the next, and up
to short time ago patrons of
the rural route received their
mail two days late, says the
Richland Advocate. With the
freezing of the river and stop
ping of boat service the mail Of
the day before reaches Richland
about 1 80 p. M, with the result
that the height of indignation
has been reached by the citizens
and ranchers, eliminating in the
calling of a mass meeting Tues
day night,at which time a strong
resolution of protest was unani-
mously registered, in the form
of a petition demanding immed-
late Investigation by the postal
authorities.
This petition, which was circu-
lated, was signed by nearly ev-
cry post Office patron in the val
ley, and is now on it's way to
Washington, D. c., and copies
have been sent to Congressman
LaFollette and U. S. Senator w.
L. Jones.
The mass meeting was presid-
ed over by Harry Wheelhouse, as
chairman, A. L. Nelson, secre-
tary, and the large audience
voiced it's sentiment in favor of
a change in the mail service be-
tween Richland and Kennewick
in no uncertain language.

n per cent; Snohomish, 1919
per cent, and Whatcom, which is
carrying a heavy burden of debt
6.9l per cent. 1t is obvious from
the contrasts quoted that the
county administration of the tax
levies is capable of great econom-
ic restraint.
In many instances the county
commissioners adopted the plan
suggested in the Spokesman-Re-
view of carrying out the purpose
of the state legislature when the
public and permanent highway
levies were enacted. They re-
duced the road and bridge and
district levies so as to bring the
total county highway levy with
in reasonable bounds. Benton
county for the year evidently set
aside the road and bridge levy,
while in Walla Walla the district
levies were cut to a minimum.
These two lead the easternWash-
ingtOn counties in the matter. of
economizing on road taxes, Wal
la Walla having made a reduc-
tion of 1852 per cent in the high
way taxes, and Benton county
1858 per cent. This resolute re-
adjustment of the highway lev
les reflects all the more credit on
the commissioners of the two
counties cited, when compared
with the net decrease in east side
counties which was only 7.13 per
cent as against 21. .O2 in the west
side counties, whore the highway
levies were more vigorously
trimmed.
Four east side boards of cOun-
ty commissioners increased their
road Ievies, one of them, Frank
lin county, swelling last years
levies 1886 per cent. The Doug
las county increase was 1857 per
cent, Ferry 27.83 per cent and
Okanogan 1922 per cent.
The net reduction of highway
levies in the entire state was ST.
399, 9,311-on the east side $213,-
667, and on the west side ST, 1885,
644. The extravagant increases
were in eastern Washington.

New Specifications for Kenne-
wick-Finley Road Receive
States o. Il.
TO COMMISSIONERS
AT JANUARY MEETING
Plans Call for Outbound Spread
Gravel ConstructioR-Seven
Miles Instead of Three
Olympia, Wash, Dec. 80
Highway plans approved by COM
mission without change.

The foregoing brief telegram
received yesterday by the Cour-
ier-Reporter from County En-
gineer C. ID. Walter, means that
the specifications for the Kenne-
wick-Finley state highway sug-
gested by the good roads COM
mittee of the Commercial club
and prepared by Mr.. Walter and
County Engineer-elect I. j.
Wright have received the offic-
ial sanction of the state high
way department and are now
ready to be acted upon by the
county commissioners.
The new specifications call for
much less expensive construc-
tion and funds now available
in the permanent highway fund
will build six or seven miles of
road instead of three. The work
can be started before spring
opens and opportunity given the
farmers to secure work during
the quiet months.
The new specifications call for
an oil-bound spread-gravel road
and it is thought there will be
sufficient funds to build good
thoroughfare all the way from
Kennewick to Finley. Material
for the road will be obtained
from the gravel pit recently pur-
chased by the county of G. E.
Lum. After the road has been
graded it will be given a seven
inch coating of this gravel. The
gravel will be thoroughly rolled
and packed. This will be sur
faced with roadside dirt treated
with half gallon of oil to each
yard.
Although this type Of con-
struction will not give the per-
manency expected under the or
iginal specifications it is thought
it will provide a good road for
many years. The state highway
law allows five percent Of the
cost for annual maintenance.
This sum, the engineers believe,
will be sufficient to keep the road
oiled and in good repair.
At the December meeting of
the county commissioners the
road matter was laid on the Ia
BILE until the February meeting
but owing to the quick work of
the Commercial club committee
in outlining a new set of speci-
fications it is thought probably
that the matter can be taken up
by the board at it's regular meet
ing next week. If this is done
it may be possible to let the con-
tract at the February meeting.
1t is the desire of the commit
tee to hasten the preliminaries
so. that a good portion of the
road can be completed before
strawberry-hauling time next
spring. The work will be ar
ranged so that the road will not
be closed to traffic. The contract
will call for the work to start at
the point nearest the gravel pit
and the graveling will be carried
on both ways.
