While the general proposition of
securing a man from the outside for
the manager plan of city government
may be a good one, at the same time
the Herald is glad the proposed
amendment does not make it necessary
as there are just as capable and wor-
-hy men in Durango as can be found
any place and well acquainted with
local conditions and requirements and
unfettered by alliances of any char
acter. This paper believes in home
patronage when it inures to the bene-
lit of the people.

bear in mind how greatly the condi-
tions have changed in Germany since
the war Of 1870. At that time Ger
many was an agricultural country
which was witnessing the beginning
of that industrial development which,
in the succeeding forty years. has
been the wonder and admiration of
the whole world. In the interval the
centers of resources and industry,
particularly as related to machine
made war, have been shifted, and
they are to be found at opposite ends
of the German empire, namely, in the
huge aggregations of mineral wealth
and countless manufactures which
are gathered in Essen and in the
neighboring cities, and also in the rich
mining district of Silesia. Should
Silesia be overrun by Russian and
should the allied French and British
forces drive their way through into
Rhenish Westphalia and take posses
sion the war would be over 1t would
be over for the reason that the great
sources of supply of the munitions
of war and the means of transpor-
tation would be closed for the Ger
man army; and not all the acknowl-
edged bravery and endurance of the
German soldiers would avail if the
great srsenals for the output of artil-
lery and ammunition and the vast
coal fields for the supply of fuel to
the troop trains, to say nothing of the
steel works from which come the steel
parts for renewals of the military au-
tomobile service, were in the hands
of the enemy.
So far, then, as the operations on
land are concerned, the objective
points of the allies are Breslau and
Silesia for Russian and Westphalia
for the Franco British armies. So
varied have been the fortunes of war
in Poland that it is impossible to
make any predictions as to the course
Of events out there. In France and
Belgium it looks as though turn
ing point had been reached, at which
the German offensive was about to
be transformed into a powerful de-
fensive. To reach Essen the allies
must fight their way across an av-
erage distance of $50 miles of most
strongly entrenched and, as is certain
to be the case, most bravely and bit
terly defended country. Judging from
the fighting qualities of the German
troops and the exceedingly fine work
of their war staff, it is not likely
that the allies, even in the event of a
successful offensive, can obtain con-
troll of Westphalia before two and
one-half years of fiercely contested
fighting have passed by.-Scientific

\ PERTINENT AND IMPERTINENT \
(BY OWEN HATTERAS.)
Choosing a Wife by Her

Choosing Wife by Her
Profession.
In the pre-feminist period, when wise
old dodgers sat in the gates and drop
ped matrimonial hints to the anxious
young blades, they concerned them
selves merely in dividing women into
the only two classes the world had
ever known-good ones and bad ones.
And most of the warnings were odl
saws that rasped on minor faults. The
young men were advised to slip around
early before breakfast and see if the
damsel was up and had her hair prop
erly stacked and breakfast cooking
and to listen at back doors to hear
whether she sassed her mother, quar-
relied with her father, snubbed her dear
old aunt and was impudent to her
deaf uncle.
In these piping times of prograss,
when small things have passed away
and it takes a major effort to produce a
minor impression, the only way to sell
lect wife is by her profession. A few
hints to youths who have not yet TAX
en- the count ought to be helpful-but
won't
A beauty doctor is to be strongly
recommended. Both she and her COM
plexion are self-supporting. You don't
have to be trying to say things all the

relatives won't be exclaiming under
their breath: my, how she has brok-
en- since she married him!"
A woman physician should by all
means be avoided. She'll insist on
sleeping porches in January cold
baths and diets.
A suffragist should be chosen only
after fasting and prayer. 1t is not the
exercise Of the franchise that is deter
ring; a woman can vote every two
years without disturbing the solar sys-
tenn; it is what happens between times
that should give US pause. 1t scarce
ly conceivable that full-grown suf-
fragist will take what is coming to her
without murmur and not return any
of it with a whack. Every married
man loves to fight; but it is the fighting
back that makes him lonesome for the
days that are no more. The suffagist
is not favorably inclined to a female

WHY / AM A DAUGHTER OF
THE CONFEDERACY

People so often ask why certain wo-
mems organizations exist that the one
great Southern organization for women
has prepared the following, which en-
bodies it's beliefs and ambitions as we'll
as its object:
Desiring to perpetuate in honor
and love the memory of the heroic
deeds of those who enlisted in the
Army of the Confederate States, and
upheld its flag through four years of
dreadful carnage, the Southern wo-
men united in an organization where
their strength and enthusiastic love
of justice and hight, could exert its
influence, not only in helping to pre-
serve the sacred memories of the
past, but to see that the youth of the
Southland were properly instructed
to revere the memory of the dead, to
honor the fast thinning ranks of the
battle-scarred veterans, and to be
taught the truths of history, Of which
one of the most important is, that
the war between the states was not a
rebellion, nor was It's underlying cause
to sustain slavery.
Briefly, then, we are Daughters of
the Confederacy to preserve in loving
remembrance, the memory of those
who gave their lives for the Confed-
eracy, and to preserve their last rest
ing places from neglect and oblitera-
ton; to care for the needy ones who
still abide with us; to preserve the
truth of History in regard to battles
fought and all the important events
connected with the great struggle.
And last, by social intercourse and
mutual study and research, to keep
alive for many years, distinctively
Southern womanhood."

WHAT YOU MAKE 1T

1t is the business of housekeeping
women to transform into work as much
of their drudgery as they can. 1t can
not be entirely eliminated. The aver
age normal woman, neither very rich
nor very poor the woman who does
her own work, or keeps, at most one
maid, would resent the imputation that
her work is drudgery. A writer on
modern educational methods holds up
to ridicule the remark of a mother that
she liked to make her little girls bed,
because she put some of her own per-
sonality between the sheets" And
taken literally, it is ridiculous. Ger

sense is not the pervading personality
of the mother the essential, elemental
quality which makes the home-the
mother-made home? And is it not true
that the personality of the mother is
even between the sheets of her child's

Overwork is not good for anyone,
least of all for a woman. Exclusive de-
votion to the daily round of household
tasks is narrowing and depressing. It
is the right and privilege of every wo-
man to be interested in the big things
outside the home as we'll us the big
things inside it. But the average nor

She is not a slave because she cooks,
washes dishes, sweeps, dresse the
children, makes the beds. It need not
be drudgery unless she makes it so.
