they do not have To live up TO the
same standard of morality and they
do not try. There are a few men Of
exceptionally strong character who
can walk their own way entirely
alone. but in comparison with those
who try and fail they are not many.
and in comparison with those who
do not try their number is infinitely
small.
So. while it isn't very flattering to
their sex to do so, men might as we'll
realize that the number of women
who can live without them vastly
exceeds in number, intellect and
character, the number of men who
can live without women.
The element of what may be styl-
ed entirely independent women is
confined almost entirely to the Unit
ed States, and to those callings that
require mind more than muscle, such
as nurses, teachers. bookkeepers,
stenographers, the higher classes of
or in business for themselves. But
there are successful and independent
women among the farmers and in
other callings that demand muscular
work and outdoor life The number
grows in America, and America is
the most widely initiated nation in
the world.
So it isn't impossible that human
ity, in the course of few thousand,
or even few hundred years, may
civilize itself off the face of the
earth. AS science has decided that
this planet is bound, to freeze solid
in few more cons, it may simplify
matters if it does.

Elsewhere, the Star prints the at
tack of DR.. Lansing Burrows on the
literature of the present day. There
is some truth in what the doctor
says, some intolerance, and a great
lack of practical sense and under
standing of human nature. DIR. Bur-
rows condemns everything he disa-
grees with, and wants everybody to
read to suit him. The denomination
the doctor belongs to has for num-
Der of years made business of sup
plying the people with literature
that it thought they ought to read.
But they didn't want to read it, and
that is probably one of the reasons
the doctor is sore. One of the rea-
sons why the publications the doctor
denounces are in demand is because
they print things people are talking

made by Clifford Pinchot, president of

Mr.. Pinchot has just issued a bulletin
asking all members or the association
to communicate Immediately with their
Congressman and urge :he immediate
passage of this bill
The bulletin reads in part as follows:
The House Committee on Mines and
Mining has reported a bill To safeguard
the remaining radium lands in public
tion by private interests. The efforts Of
the Secretary of the Interior and of
Congressman Foster to secure this
lesis-production of radium ore COM
mcndation of every conservationist.
More than three months have elapsed
since the Introduction of The radium
bill. hut final action has not yet been
taken upon il by either branch of Con-
sress. In the meantime, IL is signifi-
cant that not less tnan 500 additional
rsdium claims have been located by
private interests.
Vigorous control of the sources of
radium by the Federal Government is
absolutely essential to prevent the no
nupolv by private interests of this IN
valuable curative mineral. II is esti
mated that at present one corporation
alone owns one-third of the radium-
bearing claims. Three-fourths of the
radium produced in 1912 came from
American ore. and in 1913. more than
one half of cur total production of rsdi-
UNI ore was exported. Recent expert
