myriad ways in which you depart
somewhat from the truth?
Much Hypocrisy.
As to hypocrisy, most of US are too
hypocriticaI to acknowledge the charge.
But the fact remains that many of US
pose as other than we are and play to
the gallery of our own self-esteem or
OF what we think others expect of US.
The girl yho practically invites a kiss
and then is duly indignant at the lib
erty is a fair type of our growing
hypocrisy; women as a sex lie to them
selves about their own emotional ma
lures. Any hypocrisy that cOquetishly
invites and then only rejects-in other
words coquetry-is particularly OBJ
jeCtionable to men of character.
Out of woman's untruthfulness and
hypocrisy grows unreliability with the
same certainty that each of these other
characteristics grows from its prede-
cessOr in turn. Women do not seem to
have a sense of responsibility about
meeting their obligations. They hardly
seem to know whether they intend to
keep engagements and promises or not;
they feel privileged to yield to the
whim of a moment and offer as an
excuse for not living up to an obliga-
ton a weak, "Oh, 1 didn't feel like do
ing that"
Are you an unusual woman" who
rises above these four weaknesses or
do you yield weakly to your own pet
tiness and the trio of contemplate
vices that grow from it?

would all be uplifting and helpful to
the men who are paying the penalty
for breaking the law.
The picture business now covers
such an enormous field that il would
be a simple matter to select or arrange
the right kind Of display for prison
entertainment
One evening every week devoted to
such plays would have a greater in
fluence upon the inmates Of prisons
for good than all the sermons preached
from the chapel during the year.
Men who nave gone wrong, and who
are paying the price, are as a rule
steeled against those who attempt to
evangelize them. They resent the
"HOlier than thou" attitude of the re-
former
Offer Field for Mental and Spiritual
Education.
1t is a rare thing to find a man who
has been really converted to morality
and to the highest thinking through
the instruction he has received while
serving sentence in prison. A great
and wonderful field for both mental
and spiritual education for these men
lies in the moving pictures Some one
possessed of the spirit Of our early
Puritan fathers, who believed in lakes
or lire and birthstone through eternity
for sinners, asked Mr.. Osborne if he did
not think it wrong to make prison life
so attractive that men would want to
be criminals to enjoy the life pre-
pared for them in these institutions.
This type Of good people" will. no
doubt, object to the moving picture en-
tertainment on the same ground.
But it is a far-fetched fear. and does
not rest on the foundations of common
sense.
No man is made better by being shut
in dark cells and left to his miserable,
gloomy thoughts year in and year out
Lunatics and hardened criminals are
made by this process. Give every pris-
on its moving picture entertainment
and watch the beneficial results.

RENDOzA, Argentine, Jan. .
MI Across the Andes by railway!
- Climbing by rack and pinion
over the highest range Of our hemis-
phere!
Shooting through the darkness Of the
two mile tunnel from Chile into Ar
gentinal
Ascending almost straight from the
Pacific ocean to peaks lost in the
clouds, and coasting from the SHOWS
down into the bread lands that reach
on and on to the Atlantic!
This, in nutshell, is the story Of my
trip over the great transcOntinental
railroad, which now ties the oceans to-
gether. 1t is already the chief South
American trade route between the At
lantio and Pacific; and now that our
canal is completed, it will form the
quickest way from our country to the
southeastern part Of the hemisphere.
1t takes 80 days to go by steamer
from New York to Buenos Aires. When
this war is over and the fast shipping
service to Chile has been inauguratedY
we shall go through the canal to Val
paraiso in less than 10 days and be
in Buenos Aires well inside Of two
weeks.
Freight Rates PrOhIbitve.
At present the freight rates over the
Andes are so high that the sending OF
Argentine freight to be shipped north
ward on the Pacific is out Of the ques-
tiOn. There is no reason why they
should not be reduced, and within a
short time cargoes Of fruit will be
crossing the mountains on their way,
by way Of the canal, to New York. The
passenger rates are high at present.
The fare from Valparaiso to BuenOS
Aires is about S65, and the distance IS
not greater than from New York to
chicago This might be cut down one
third or One-half, and the increased
traffic would make the road pay.
The time Of passage can also be cut.
The continuous trip now takes about
IS hours. We make the journey from
New York to Chicago in less than 20
hours, and even with the delay in
crossing the mountains, all of which is
included in a distance Of perhaps 175
miles, the journey from port to port
may some day be made in 80 hours, or,
with the fast trains of the future, with
in one full day.
Climbing to Los Andes.
Ny trip over the Andes began at San
tiago I left there at about 6 o'clock
in the evening, and two hours later
had passed out Of the great central
valley Of Chile and climbed the sta
ton at Los Andes, where the narrow
gage railroad begins
Los Andes is a railroad town with
little more than a hotel where passen-
gers stop over night. The hotel is
rambling structure with several hum
dred large rooms. Each room has hot
and cold water, which is uncommon in
this part Of the world, and the beds
are comfortable. The rates charged me
were $3.50 for lodging, including coffee
and bread in the morning. And the
coffee was good.
We left Los Andes about s o'clock
in the morning and wound our way
through a narrow valley walled by
steep, rocky mountains. The road was
a steady climb, with an average gage
of about percent, and a maximum
grade, after the rack and pinion sec
tons were reached, of about per-
cent
The valley was that of the AcOnca-
qua river, which has its rise in Mount
Aconcagua, not far away. The stream
was the color Of putty, and it reminded

grudge a cent that it cost me to sun
port my family in good style. On the
contrary, it was a matter of pride to
me that my wife was a well dressed
and my house as handsome as that of
any in our set.
The only reason that I refused my
Vile an allowance was because it graf
flied my vanity for her to give a
visible token daily of her dependence
on me. When she had to come and
ask me for a dollar and explain lust
what she was going to do with it, I felt
myself some superior being, a source
Of. blessings to a lowly creature who
was knocking her forehead three times
on the floor in front of me.
Killing Her Love.
And never sensed how this hui
initiation was burning into the soul
of the woman who had been independ-
ent, or how pitifully mean and con-
temptible I looked in her eyes when 1
took advantage of holding the purse to
degrade her to the level of a mendi-
cant for the money that was as much
hers as mine.
And there were other things. She
could never go anywhere without ask
ing my permission. She could not be-
long to a club without 1 graciousIy
consented. She could not read a book
or hold an opinion, or see a play with
out I approved of it. She could not
have a friend without nv o. K. on her.
She was nothing but a slave and at
last she did what every other slave
with a particle of spirit does She re
belled She broke her bonds and es-
capped to freedom.
The failure of our marriage was
my failure. If I had treated my wife
as an equal instead of an inferior; if
L had realized that autOcracv has
played out just as much in the home
as it has in government, and if I had
made of my wife a companion instead
Of trying to make her slave, I should
not today be lonely man mourning
his lost happiness"
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1915-01-02

GGTHE reason that my marriage
was a failure" said the man,
- was because was that most
despicable Of human creatures, a do
nestle tyrant.
"Oh, Of course, didn't deliberately

and crush her spirit and break her
heart but that's what it came to in the
end, and now that I've got far
enough away from the years Of strife
and struggle that composed our mar
ried life to get a clear perspective on
them, I don't blame her for leaving me.
It was the only thing that an intelli-
gent human being with an inch OF
backbone could have done.
Yet my sin against her was the sin
Of ignorance, Of not understanding, al
most the sin Of inheritance, for I treat
ed my wife as L had seen my father
treat my mother. I didn't have sense
enough to see that a new generation
Of women had arisen that demands to
be dealt with on new platform, and
that the girl Of today will no more
stand for being made a dOOrmat of, as
her mother did, than the free man viii

The young man replied with letter
full Of curiosity.
What did you mean by moving pic

is there something which you really
call moving pictures?"
The prisoners inquiry opens up

a place in the present day entertain

In the most remote places Of earth
the moving picture is known, and the
