Every member of the Brooklyn base
ball team is enthusiastic over Day
tona, the accommodations afforded
the team, and the attitude of the
local fans, and every one of them will
be pulling" for Daytona during the
coming season, just as every resident
of the 'prettiest winter resort in the
world will pull for the Superbas to
win the coveted National league
bunting, and the worlds series. That
the efforts of the arrangements of the
Despland, Prince George and
Schmidt's, where the ball players are
quartered, have been appreciated, is
shown by the players attitude. THE
rooms, "eats" and people of this city
are the best we ever struck in the
training season." remarked one of
them recently, and he meant it.

The keen-witted and law-abiding citizens OF
Westchester County, New York, are trying All ex-
pertinent with their shrievalty. At the last cleo
tion they chose a sheriff whose name in their
estimation, should go long way toward the main
tenance Of law and order in the county. Ulrich
Wiesendauger seemed to promise fairly as deter
rent; at least it was a combination of letters that
should make one hesitate. Now the new sheriff
is also experimenting. He has recently announced
his appointments as special deputy sheriffs and
the list includes a number of mlonaires and near
millionaires, and they liable to be called upon
at any time to aid Sheriff Wiesendanger in case of
riots, strikes or in running down Black Hand mis-
creants. Spcrt is looking up in Westchester

1t is not going to be easy job for the edi-
torial writer whose duty it is to write disapprov-
ingly of the manner in which Mr.. Bryan passed
New Years Da~. The Secretary chopped down a
big tree or two on his North Carolina estate but
what if he did? All real statesmen are addicted
to the habit. He also took long tramp over the
mountain. At his time of life one expects Mr..
Bryan to avoid unnecessary risk-but it doesn't
happen often. There really seems to be but one
vulnerable point of attaCk-on New Years Day he
became grandfather for the seventh time! Now,
really Mr.. Bryan, was there no honorable way Of

from the trials of life. The moment woman starts
to establish home she establishes vital relations
with the community. And in establishing vital
relations with the community she establishes vital
relations with the political conditions that help
keep that community going, that express the life
OF the community.
Suppose, for example, that she is going to live
with her husband in detached house. The mo-
ment her husband buys the house, rents it, that
woman finds herself associated with the laws relat-
ing to the construction and the maintenance of
buildings.
Suppose the cellar is damp or the drainage is
bad. At it becomes the business of the
woman to realize the danger and to secure pro-
lection.

Women have told me what has happened to
them under such circumstances Occasionally they
have gone to the city hall. OF course, they have
been treated with courtesy. Like most American
men, in dealing with women politicians are exceed
ingly chivalrous. But their chivalry is largely a
matter of manner.
Those complaining women have no votes
Why should the politicians take the trouble to
concatc people without votes?
OF course, those women have husbands, and the
husbands are voters The best the women can
do is to make their husbands act as their agents
But the husbands are busy. Most of them have
to work steadily all day long. They can't be
bothered with tiresome domestic details Those
things belong to the

No wonder they become discouraged, as they
often do
Then there is the matter of milk inspection
which hear much about. Men are not par
ticularly interested in milk. In my own acquaint-
ance l can't think of one man who ever drinks
glass of milk-unless it is buttermilk which has
become something of a masculine fad
But to younger married women, with children
to bring up, the drinking of milk is matter of
life and death. They know that milk may contain
typhoid fever germs. And they learn from expert
ence that the milk inspection of the civic authori-
ties is very largely farcical.
But what they do?
Milk inspection is a matter OF politics
And women are told that it is unwomanly in
delicate, unrehned for them to try to force their
way into politics.
They ought to stay at home, where they belong.

When H. c. Wells was in this country he be
came very much interested in the negro problem
He amazed and shocked by the way tn
negroes had been treated and by the way in man
places they were still treated He said it wa
marvel that the negroes did not rise up AM
murder us all in our beds.
Sometimes it seems to marvel that tn
women in the country don't rise up and murde
the men in their beds.
They have to listen with apparent complacenc
while, directly or indirectly, the men make pre-
posterous assertions Of superiority.
Meanwhile, the women see the most intolerabl

Meanwhile, they have to listen to the state

Rich women, OF course, have remedy. The,
can pay for pure milk. Often, however, in thei
search for a milk supply that they can rely OF
they put to a great deal OF inconvenience.
1t is shameful the way some rich women ar
in their search for pure milk Some o
them become very nervous and upset And the,
annoy their husbands with their complaints anc
anxiety.
However, rule, they manage to find mill
dealer who, by sending the price of milk soaring
can guarantee its purity.
With such women it is actually a relief tha
the price is so high.
In the very exorbitance there is security anc
comfort
So they can sit back and see their children
grow fat and rosy.
Incidentally they can forget about the millions
and millions OF other women mothers, with feel
ings exactly like their own, who can't pay thi:
exorbitant price for milk, who are never fret
from the fear that at any day their children may
be poisoned
Is there any sclfshness in the world that car
be compared with the sehshness of rich women
But perhaps it is unfair to call their selh-absorp
ton selhshness. For many OF these women are
genuinely kind They give both time and money
to the poor. They are eager to help all the pool
mothers they happen to include in their &C
quantance Perhaps it is too much to expect then
to exercise their maginations and to reach out tc

Perhaps the whole trouble is due to the defect
that men have so often pointed out in women,
their lack of humor If women had more humor
they might long ago have laughed to scorn the
pretenses of
Perhaps, on the other'hand, their reason for not
laughing is that the situation is so serious.
From their point of view it is certainly no joke
For it should be remembered that all women,
whether married unmarried. mothers But
all men are not fathers ever among those who are
heads of large families.

To the Editor Of The Gate City:
In reply to Mr.. Atoms last note,
permit me to say: After celebrating
over this matter, with my mind In its
normal condition, entirely free from
any feeling of resentment toward a
man with whom I have been on friend
ly terms for many years, and hope to
continue SO, am OF the opinion that
he acted foolishly. because he acted
under the impulse Of passion, instead
OF his better Judgment and l am COM
PEELED to acknowledge that allowed
myself to reply to him while in the
same mental condition, which war in
excusably wrong on my part at least
Therefore to be right as far as can
go, beg Mr.. Atoms pardon for the
harsh remarks I made to him in my
article Of the 21st inst. I do this be-
cause my action originally provoked
him to attack me, although am coz
scious that I had no intention Of do
ing him a wrong, and also feel GER
tain that on mature consideration, Mr..
Alton will realize that he has made
charges against me which should not
have been made.

KANSAS CITY, No., June 24.-Dust
to-day hangs low on the old Santa Fe
trail. Once again the California rush
is on. But the prairie schooners have
given way to touring cars, racers,
runabouts and family cars.
On fair days steady stream Of
autos loaded down with tents, suit
cases, stoves and bathtubs, passes the
Press which happens to be located on
the trail.
Where are they from? Oh, every
where. They advertise their home
bug. too Nearly always with pen
nants. Somewhere, Penn, to Califor-

north, Mich Sometimes signs are
painted all over the car-providing

cleans his car after he starts for the
golden west. They must show the
| wear and tear Of the trip. They must
carry mud from every state along
their route. Sort of souvenir stunt,

Occasionally the gasoline trail sees
a stranser-or two-wall1ing to the
| exposition-and selling hair pins or

maybe its a donkey cart or dog car
