THE FAVORED PASSENGER.

The public will not expend much
sympathy on the class of travellers af-
fected by the new regulation govern
ing the use of staterooms and COM
partments on sleeping cars, which re-
CARDS the space as provided for the
transportation of two persons and re-
quires tickets for two.
People who are so fastidiOus that
they are unwilling to mix with the
berth should expect to pay little
something extra for the privilege, just
as they maintain private conveyances
for use about town instead of using
the street cars and coming in contact
with the plain people. If they wish
eXclusiveness they can have it, The
railroads provide for it and should be
adequately compensated for it.
The railroads consider that a state
room or compartment is arranged
for the accommodation of two persons
the same as a seat in day coach. a
passenger would not be permitted TO
monopolize one Of the latter much as

seats i'm day coach he must pay for
them or move over. If a passenger
wants a stateroom or a compartment
10 himself he properly may be re-
/ quired to consider himself two persons
and pay two fares
While the public is demanding fair
treatment from the railroads in the
matters of comforts. safety appliances

sistent be fair with the railroads. The

Poems You May Not Know.
decatur Democracy
If you wauld lead an honest life
And have the Christian hope,
Just get the grace of God within
And put all strife without;
And remember this my friend,
Just do the best you can.
For this is all that can be done
IN heaven and on earth.
You cannot harbor greed within
And right yourself with God;
You cannot for a bushel
Sell three peck;
OF fourteen ounces for a pound,
For God does know your tricks,
And knows that you're accountable
To Him for all that you have done.
Then try TO live an honest life
And do the beet you can;
Let come what may
You will win the race
If you fall not by the way
And in the end
The balances of God
Will show that you have won.

OFFICE OF POLICEwoMAN.

Elkhart is soon to have a policewo
man and the prospective appointment
of such officer has aroused consider
able comment.
Men and women who have served
in the work of rescuing unfortunate
girls know the value of policewOmen.
Only those who have had no part, in
such service can confidently assert
that there is no work which a poIlc@
woman can do that a policewoman
can not do better, says the Mime
apOlis Tribune.
The mere suggestion that policemen
might serve as travellers aids" is suf-
ficient to indicate the field which spec
tally requires women. The prospect
of dance hall supervision by police
men alone is another sufficient teach
ing. Where SEXUAL vice exists women
are found. of necessity; and where
women are in danger of breaking the
law whether the law of the state
or the higher law of personal purity
there the woman policeman justi-
fies her office.
Is there doubt of it Can anyone
who knows the story of police service
in any large city really doubt it?
OF course there is objection to the
policew0man. There is objection like
wise to enforcement of the law for
bidding the sale of liquor to minors.
of a law forbidding the sale of liquor
in dance halls, of the law fOrbidding
the maintenance of red light" estab-
hshments, whether hotels or single
residences.
This is not the only objection TO the
policewOman. There is indeed anoth-
or kind of objection. And the second
kind makes a strange partnership. II
comes from those who believe women
are being crowded into occupations
untitled to them, that old sex distinc-
ton are being broken down, that our
women are being made "mannish"
and that femininity is disappearing.
Can not these good folks see that
the office of the policewoman is TO
protect other women from loss Of
their wOmanliness? Are they not
suspicious of their own reasoning if
it makes them cO-WOrkers with the
force of darkness 2-Elkhart Progress

ONE YEAR OF MIR. WILSON

ON UT VIII. w lIlSON.
Here rounds out one year of ad-
ministration by President Woodrow
Wilson.
The anniversary is one of the ut
most interest and significance TO the
nation.
AS achievements of this first year of
administration, the country has seen
the scaling of the protective tariff and
the reformation of the currency sys-
tenn.
1t has further seen the Inaugural
ton OF the labor necessary to work
out a scheme of control for corporate
endeavor. and those who have watch
ed the quiet but firm and direct course
taken in fulhllment of the other plat
form pledges have full faith that the
reforms which are outlined will be
achieved.
Incident TO his first year as eXecu-
tive. President Wilson has been put
to the test, not only Of the regulating
from within, but of becoming diplo-
mat of high order, 10 tide the nation
over trying external eXigencies.
There are those who have been, and
still are, only too ready to criticlse
with bitterness the policy of ''watchful
waiting in Mexico. They have in no
way caused the president TO waver
from his determination Whether
errors in judgment have been made
and there is here room for argument
there is every prospect that the
president may prove more far-sighted
than his critics. The nation has
ground for fervent thanks that ii is
at peace, and probably Will remain so.
In another direction there is ample
proof that there is "a man in Wash
ington." When President Wilson was
indicted into office. there were liter
ally millions who looked to see Will
liam J. Bryan assume the real reinS
ofspcWer Mr.. Bryan was appointed
to a high office at Mr.. Wilson's right
hand. There ended President wilson
obligation. IL obligation it was. Large
as are the Commoner's abilities, few
will now be found to intimate that he
has not been relegated to the Obscur-
itv of back-stage before the brilllance
Of a greater actor.
But the real keynote of the first
year Of President Wilson's admins
tration is not TO be found on the
statute books, nor in Washington, but
in the country itself. That keynote is
confidence.
Ii is beyond a doubt that President
Wilson has increased in popularity
enormously. In the face of the most
raucous of opposition calamity walls,
business gives promise Of wide pros
perity.
It is the public confidence that the
chief executive is a man big enough
and wise enough TO meet every ma
tional emergency without disaster,
and with foresight enough to outline
national policies. that will work TO
the advancemc-t Of the greatest ma
fority. that has inspired busin

In addition to the regular nine mill
assessment for the coming year, there
is an additional levy of two mills which
will be used to pay the interest on the
city hall bonds and at the same time
act as a nucleus for sinking fund.
The regular meeting of the council
was held Monday evening, all men,

MARSH WANTS BRIDGE.

Harry PIN of Marsh was in town
last week on matters in connection
with the proposed new bridge over
the Yellowstone at his town. Mr.. PIN
stated that he was asked to come to
Glendive by the business men of his
town to call on the local newspapers
and secure their support for the i'm
provement. Petitions have been cir
culated and more than 400 signatures
secured. It is pointed out that as
there is no bridge over the river be-
tween Glendive and Fallon, a great
amount of business goes to Custer
county that should remain in Dawson.
The Chamber Of Commerce now has
the matter under consideration and
will no doubt use its good offices with
the County Commissioners with
view toward securing the bridge. They
are sure entitled to it and it seems
that the Commissioners should
stretch point, if ned be, to put one
in for our thriving little neighbor.
