Brooklyn. y y. scale the market house
steeple. which rises distance of about
is feet from the ground.
Allen did acrohatic stunts as he pro-
ceeded on his p-rilous trip. He appar-
emily was the tcaSt concerned of all,
and to all appearances felt perfectly
at ease when he reached the silded tall
at the top of the big Stceple and sVuuE
from it with one hand and toyed with
the weather vane. placing it in right
position. and also PLAYING with some Of
the dIapidated woodw"rk. Reaching
the pinnacle Alien remained about
three minutes. and made his descent
down the lightning rod to the top land

this landing and walked down the steps
from the inside. being met at the top
landing by William Craven, steward of
offices. who kept an eye on Allen from
each landing of the Steeple.
With his bare hands and 4 pair Of
soft shoes Allen started from the
ground. making his way UP the brick
wall TO the first landing. At each land

culiar change came over her face. l

If I could I certainly should have

'What?"
''Margie," said MOIlie, with
laugh. You seem to have resolved
yourself into a supine Interrogation
point since you became an invalid.
When you were erect you sometimes
talked in periods.
Now that is what wrote you in
my last letter. have come home to
resolve all my friends-my married
women friends-into a club Of which
every member pledges herself to do
something outside of just being a
wife to some man"
But, MoIie-''
There you go again with your
butts, are you losing your vocabulary
and your power of speech as well as
your power of lOcOmOtiOn-Oh, Mar
gle, forgive me, I didn't mean to hurt
you. I only meant that for a joke.
I wanted to see you smile in the old
way. wanted to see your eyes light
up with the old enthusiasm and in
stead they fill with tears"
THAT is all right, Mollie. You, with
your perfect health cannot under
stand perhaps that was not feeling
hurt because of what you said but
because l was not going to be able
to help in this wonderful scheme"
why nOt?" asked Mollie in her
Old-time, quick manner.
Because, honey, l am chained to
this bed - l cannot raise a family,
much as l would like so to do"
But you don't understand, dear"
said MoIlie quickly. what I want to
impress upon my friends is that each
woman who is married is to do some

Some of the ultra feminists in

I laughed-yes, little book, for al
most the only time since I have been
confined to my bed laughed heartily.
But the idea Of MoIlie making a vo- =
cation of big family was irresist-
ably funny to me- -,
you see, Margie, it is not Just
the mere fact that we women who
have means shall have big families,

YOU NEVER CAN BE SURE.

One of the nice points of conduct relates to the degree of certainty that Justlfies one man m making serious charge against another. The usual belief, based on an appreciation of the com mercial value of a good name, is that the accus- CT should be sure of his ground before voiclng his accusation He should remain silent until his evidence amounts to certainty. This would be we'll provided certainty was stable qual- ity. In other words, if what constitute certain ty to another and that no difference of opinion was deducible from admitted facts. However it so happens that conditions or circumstantial evidence that resolve itself into certainty into the mind of one man or set of men may arouse notions in the minds of others ranging from suspicion to perfect negative conclusion. And while the rule of never accusing another on mere suspicion should be adhered to strictly ac- cusative conduct is but little influenced thereby Because what may be one mans suspicion may be another's positive proof, and proof being re- lative, amounts to greater or less preponder- ance of probabilities; and as probabilities have varying values with varying individuals, the same facts or deduction making up the evidence which may lead one jury to acquit may lead an- other to convict. You never can tell.

CTS. One side is as guilty of imposing on the people as the other; and together make up a mixed handful as whole for the purpose of har- rassing the people. Meanwhile, our government will stand guard to see that submission is not obtained with the club.
 However, the strikers are no more to blame for the condition than the companies. As a matter of fact the government is as much to blame as either of the contending factions. The government has allowed the price of necessities to reach prohibitive point; has added by law more burden to the companies that was follow ed by raise of freight and passenger rates that in turn was followed by the demand of the strik- CTS for higher wages. Consequently-th peo- pie suffer
 When the companies decided that an increase of the rates on freight and passengers was nec- cssary there is no record that they consulted the people. If it was their privilege to do so- and as much the people concede-it must be fair for the strikers to ask more wages. The aim desired to accomplish is the same. The differ ence lies in the means employed to carry out that aim. The companies are slowly strangling the people while the strikers the big stick with which to strike death blow. It is tit for tat with the people as the chopping block.

IT IS HARDLY FAIR.

It is hardly fair to concede to handful of men comparatively speaking; the right to harass the rest of whole nation; yet it is just what the government is doing today and what it has allowed to be done since the country's birth. We have reference to the strike at Seattle and along the Pacific coast It is said that some twelve thousand men have joined in this strike to com nel the transportation companies to pay higher wages. To that end, they have stopt the ship ping of all kinds of merchandise Goods that the people need and must have in order to ex- ist. Now is not this arbitrary? Isn't that hand ful of men referred to above harrassing the rest of us who have no part in the dispute? Isn't that allowing that insignificant minority to gov ern the immense majority? From that it fol lows that the majority does not rule. Not that we want to infer that the companies are not, or should not be included in that handful. On the contrary, the companies are just as arbitrary as far as the people are concerned as the strik-

IT'S TOO BAD.

It's too bad that a perfectly good democrat should mixup with a perfectly good republican because one is bound to spoil the other. The worst part of it all is that as general rule, it's the democrat who gets spoed-and there are so few of them. If that rule could be reversed, it wouldn't be so bad, because there are plenty of good republicans and few more or less do not count much either way Congress should be ap- pealed to for remedial act. This flirting should be strictly prohibited. Congress should compel the members of the respective party to be more serious. It is a perfect disgrace the way some of them carry They mix up as often as they can; even right here where the mixing is so obnoxious. They constitute a pest. Yes in- deed, it's too bad.

 The people of the United States have enjoyed con- stitutional freedom long time without any conscious effort to maintain it and many of have forgotten, many of have learned, that it does not come and remain of itself The principles our Constitutions have passed without question long that many of have forgotten the which underle them and the necessity for maintaining them Now principles are questioned The assumptions individual rights which undere system of government denied that it is very important that the people of the country should dress themselves to the study of their Constitutions the for them.
