victim" 20 be sure. He had been en-
tangled because the bad in his nature
had gone out to meet the bad in her;
but he was, none the less, the real
victim.
Yet the woman's lawyer drew tears
from the eyes of sOggy sentimentalists
as he tremOloed well-worn and most
inept sayings about betrayed and
trusting young girls" and the jury
nodded in sympathetic muddlement.
So the woman was set free; one of
the jurymen explaining TO me after
ward that the verdict was rendered
lin defense of betrayed womanhood."
There was an edge of masculine
cOmplacency about the remark, an
echo from the man-made centuries
when woman was looked upon as a
defenseless chattel
And there is, doubtless some vestige
of the came complacency about the
average man today which makes him
yield to what Justice Holmes calls the
illusion that the woman is always the
victim" his sex pride recOiling in
stinctively from any other assump-
ton.
But surely women leaders in the
feminist movement should not yield,
as some do, 10 this persistent repre-
sentation of life.
For II the woman is. indeed, al
ways the victim" then it must be
granted that she is hOpelessly subor-
dinate TO man. But we know this Is
not true We know, however it may
once have been, the woman of today
quite as truly as the man, may say
Il choose"
Ii was male ascendency which es-
tablished a double standard of mo-
rality for men and women, and women
acknowledged their own inferiority
when they consented TO that double
standard.
With the rise of the feminist move
ment. however. has come the right
eous demand for that single standard
OF morality which can only he estab-
lished by recognizing the approach
ing equality of the sexes.
And here is the place 10 warn fem
mist leaders-in the light o. Justice
Holmes remark-that they can never
cure the world OF the ills resulting
from a double standard of morality
by substituting a double standard OF
common sense

A Double Standard
of Common Sense
by Helen Ring Robinson.
Woman Member of Colorado Senate.

In a recent decision of the United
states supreme court, where the case
fell under the Mann white slave act,
Justice Holmes recommended that we
Americans stop muddling about in a
mess of husband sorghum senti-
mentalities.
He did. not. to be sure. use just that
expression, which is, perhaps, a poor
one-but my contemplating instead,
suave legal phraseology about aban-
doning the illusion that the woman is
always the victim" in such a situation
as was then under review
That situation, be it understood, had
nothing TO do with white slavery in
the true sense of that much abused
term. There was no question of kid
mapping little girls. of entrapping in
nocent young women for immoral pur-
poses-a lOathely industry which still
has its well-defined American centers.
whatever twiddling investigators for
SNUG foundations" may say TO the
contrary.
Men or women found guilty Of that
cancerous traffic should be given a life
sentence TO the penitentiary for a
crime whose mere mention forces me
TO dip my pen into a disinfectant be-
fore proceeding TO a further discus
sion of Justice Holmes remarks.
The case OccasiOning that remark
bore some points of resemblance to a
celebrated trial / once attended, where
woman OF 30-with some IA years
experience in dispOsing of herself at
the highest market value-was in
volved with a man of 6S. recently risen
from frugal circumstances TO great
wealth.
out OF the welter OF wantonness dis
closed by the trial one fact plainly
emerged. The man-nOt the woman
had been transported from state TO
Estate in violation OF the Mann white
slave act" The man-not the wom-
an-was the victim. Not an innocent

had hit off the distinctive peculiar
tiles OF the mammoth so we'll that
their pictures could not for a moment
be taken for representations of ordi-
nary elephants.
II has generally been assumed that
the mammoth was hunted and killed
by early man. Whether he used it's
flesh for food Is a question. but he
certainly found its tusks useful for
making implements. and. as we have
seen, he sometimes engraved his pic
lures upon them. Ivory has always
been a faVorite material for human
industry to work upon. and il was en-
ployed proportiOnately more in an
cient times than il is today, partly be-
cause at present the supply. owing to
the gradual disappearance Of ele-
plants. is fallin goff
Since the discovery that large num-
bers OF mammoths are embedded in
the frozen marshes of Siberia and
Alaska. the hunting Of their tusks for
the ivory market has become a profit
able occupation. Mr.. Bassett Digby,
an Englishman. who has recently been
hunting for frozen mammOths in
Siberia, gives some new facts about
them.
He refers TO the curious fact that
the WOolly rhlnOcerOs used 10 hunt
around with the mammoth in those
parts OF the world" and that its re-
mains are sometimes found with those
OF its huger companions. The natives
OF northern Siberia. who believe that
mammoths were "a kind OF gigantic
mOles dwelling deep underground, and
which inevitably persisted If they hap
pened 20 tunnel out into the sunshine,
think that the woody rhinoceros was
a big bird. after the style OF the great
roc described BY Sindbab the Eailor.
and they told Mr.. Digby that the
curved horn OF the rhinCceros which
he found was the toe claw OF the
mighty bird.

A Pleasant Surprise Party.

Friday evening when Mrs.
Alice Mains and Miss Irene
Mains returned from the street
fair at Adrian they found their
neighbors had arranged a sur
