SAYS WOMEN HAVE FALSE CON.
CEPTION OF THEIR VALUE

In the April Woman's Home Com
panion Anne Morgan, daughter of the
late ]. Pierpont Morgan, writes an in
teresting Talk to American Girls" in
the course of which she makes the fol-
lowing comments:
Civilization has brought to the wo-
man this false conception of her own
value in the world. She has grown to
believe that a woman's duty is not to
work, but simply to exist until such
time as she can find someone who will
work for her and support her parasitic
existence. The harder her struggle the
more she considers marriage as an ulti-
mate goal, where she can rest from
her labors. The girl who is economi-
cally Independent is playing with life,
drinking deep at the fountain of every
passing emotion, and is always waiting
for the overmastering one which will
sweep her off her feet. There is little
or no preparation for life as a career,
no training for an all-round and we'll
developed character, when the days
work, whatever it may be, shall be as
much Of a matter of course as the fact
of existence itself. Home making as a
vocation is never planned for in any
woman's ~college-we may find excel
lent classes in home economics and
scientific dietetics, that no husband
would endorse, but never a profound
course of study based on the differ
ences between the feminine and the
masculine minds and character, rather
than their equality"

the world. AS to the amount that may
be safely loaned, the first thing to be
considered is the cash value. Ordin-
arily, and in other lines of business
that would be sufficient; but knowing
the instability of prices (not value)
caused by the speculative trading in
futures, peculiar to agricultural pro-
ducts only, the banker must protect
himself by a wider margin. Suppose
however; and this is the point made
by Mr.. Forgan, that the carrier" the
owner Of the grain has made an actual
sale to a responsible party, thus elm
mating the danger Of f%luctuation in
price, then the margin is fixed at the
minimum. This is what Mr.. Forgan
calls "the final link in the chain that
world" There is no element of
chance in it. 1t is the extreme OPP
posite of option trading in futures. |
have never known, or heard of any
one being able to borrow money on a
future grain option trade.
But to make the distinction plain;
suppose a Spectator has sold an
option for 10000 or 10000 bushels of
wheat for some future time; and will
take his brokers' evidence with receipt
for margin, etc, and submit same to
Mr.. Fogan or any other banker and
try to borrow money on it and note the
result. Why even his own broker
would not loan him a dollar on it.
He must keep his margin up, or be
sold out. No credit on options.
Just try it on your own banker, and
let me know how you succeed.
If you can find a banker who will
loan money on wheat option tickets,
he can get all the business he wants at
any rate of interest he may choose to
ask, provided only that he does not
collect interest in advance.
No reputable banker would ac-
knowledge that he was interested in
a grain option deal, and if he learned
that an employee was, he would prompt
ly discharge him; on the theory that
the first little flyer on the grain ex-
change, vas just as dangerous as the
first game of cards, or the first drink
of int%oxicants. Better let it alone; but
if you do indulge be fair enough to
take the responsibility on yourself,
and do not pretend that you are doing
it in the interest of the farmer.

WHAT KIND OF WAR is THIS?

One of the Scandinavian nations has

we do not know of which nation, and
it make no difference-launch their
missiles at everything in sight with as
little knowledge as Don Quixote had
when he tilted into windmills. They
torpedo first, and inquire afterward. If
it were otherwise, it would not be nee
essary to take the precaution of paint
ing the flag on the hull of a merchant
ship. Nothing nor is required to
show the character of the warfare
which is being conducted across the
water. 1t might appear that even this
latest precaution would avail nothing.

OPTION TRADING AND GRAIN Ex-

u~lators, even in connection with the
grain exchange really did do that they
would be public benefactors beyond
the dreams of the Carnegies and Rock
e~fellers with all their Libraries and
foundations.
Their work would be far superior to
that of the Department of Agriculture.
Why do they not place agriculture On
an equal footing with other great in
dustries by insuring the value Of farm
products at such figures as will pay
all costs of production, with a reason
able profit added? The fact is that
instead of insuring values they simply
register the grain gamblers guesses.

for the trusts and "the high cost Of

overlooked this and insisted on an in

this not been made known to the farm

vantage of this boon the farmer must
sell an option for 5000 bushels and
that would cut the average farmer out.
To prove their claim they quote

A AND PRIDE
H. l.. Loucks.

While no n pretends hat there is
any immediate prospect of peace, GER
tain reports from London and Vienna
seem pregnant with hope that reason
is beginning to be heard in the coun-
sells of Europe. In course of time,
hatred, like n other poison, is bound
to run it's course, and then be sup
planted by sober and humane iudg-
ment.
Not one Of the nations now at war
can afford to look upon any sincere
proposal for peace with contempt. Not
one of them is in a sufficiently strong
economic and industrial and financial
condition to look for benefits from a
prolonged war by the exhaustion Of
any enemy.
The objections to an early peace APP
it might not be permanent. 1t would
have a terrific consequence upon the
past history and sufferings of mankind
if all the wars had been kept up in
definitely upon the theory that the
armies might get to fighting again
after a breathing spell.
The really sad and serious phase of
this war is that neither side knows
precisely what end it desires to
achieve. England claims to be fight
ing for the extinction of %militarism;
Germany claims to be fighting for a
place in the sun. The great danger of
modern times is the quarrel owe
| phrases which are rhetorical, but
which upon analysis become vague
and futile. This is true in times of
peace as in times of war. Many we'll
meaning folk in this country say that
they are fighting for social justice"
but ask them to define what they
mean by social justice and no two of
them can agree
Stripped of high-flown verbiage,
what does the extinction of militarism
mean? Does 1t mean that this war is
not to cease until every gun in Ger,
many is. spiked or thrown into the
sea? In like manner, what is meant
by Germany's place in the sun Does
it mean that the Germans will not con.
sent to peace until the British navy
is obliterated, and the British colonial
empire dismembered?
This obstinate vanity is see in the
military and official statements eman-
ating from both sides. Both Germany
and England send out weary boasts
that their supplies and and
men are "inexhaustible." But the neu'
trs.l world knows better, and 1t also
sees that after six months of incred'
ible suffering. cruelties, waste and
slaughter, the armies and navies Of
these ten nations have accomplished
nothing more than a statement.

only way in which the rulers of these
unhappy nations can redeem their

ROBBERY AND Fire AT CIRClEyILLE

Thieves paid a disastrous visit to
the little town of Circleville, 26
miles Northwest of here, .on Mon
day night. As a result of the ex-
plosion in opening safe in the
post office, fire broke out, and two
stores the office being kept in one
of them-Warners's hotel, Mrs.
Phoebe Priests and Arthur Judy's
residences were destroyed. Com
munication with Circleville was
cut off, and the information came
from Dry Run switchboard via
Crabbottom.
No particulars as to the booty
secured by burglars. An unknown
man had been loafing about the
stores for several days, and he is
suspicioned, as he came up missing
Tuesday morning. Officers went
in pursuit of him when his where
abouts were learned.
The following details arc from
associated news reports appearing
in the papers since the disaster:
A party of yeggs broke into the
postofice, which is located in the
general store of Dunkle Brothers,
and in attempting to open the safe
exploded stock of five hundred
dynamite caps which the cautious
shopkeeper had placed therein for
safe keeping.
The terrific explosion that result
ed blew out the middle of the build
ing and set the, remainder on fire
Rapidly spreading flames commu-
nicated themselves to the store OF
E. A. Lambert, the E. A. Warner
Hotel, the residences of DR.. Priest,
Arthur Judy and Charles Van De
vanter, and ultimately resulted in
the total destruction of a consider
able portion of the village.
The loss is estimated at approx
mately $50 900, there being no in
surance other than $4,000, on the
Lambert property.
Sheriff L. D. Trumbo and Com
monwealth's Attorney VIM. Nc
Coy, of Pendleton county, have
gone to Circleville to investigate
the matter, but until the ashes
have somewhat cooled no definite
steps will be taken to. apprehend
the robbers, as it is thought likely
that they themselves were Destroy
ed in the midst of the ruin they so
unexpectedly wrought.

If there is one thing more graft
fying than another at the raplo
purchase of automobiles by al
classes farmers, merchants, pro-
fessional men, road and county
officials-it is the inevitable i'm
petus that will be given to road
improvement. We have argued
for some time that better roads
must and would come; they must
meet the demands of modern travel,
and the important question is the
length of time that will be required
to mould and solidify public sentl-
ment in tina direction. AS soon
as a man buys an auto he becomes
a convert and an advocate. and the
closer he is to the county govern
ment the greater his influence and
capacity for good. The good-roads
fever in spreading, and it speaks
we'll for the intelligence Of the
county that we no longer hear that
tommy-rot about making roads
for the automobile people," The
doctrine that a good automobile
road is the very best for every
other sort of travel is so convincing
that anyone with an ounce of
gumption can see it, and is, or
ought to be ashamed to deny it.
