bad MEN, HAVE CHARACTER
London Writer Thus ExpIGli.1 Why
Femininity Is So Peculiarly Al
tracted to Them.

Historians who try To VrIt2 Of pre-
historic times tell us that nen won
women in those days by butte force.
Strength in man still appeals to wom-
en- tremendously. and she likes to find
her master, in spite Of the vote and a
few other things.
Bad men usually show strength OF
some sort. Maybe that is why they
are attractive to women.
Follow up the life story of any Grim
inal you like. and you'll find a woman
In the story. No matter how bad
man may be, he can usually find
woman who will believe IL him.
Why do women seem to like Blue
boards" or at any rate bad men?
Take any scoundrel you may know.
and you'll find that he has character,
although IL is bad. He is untrOubled
by scrupleS and conscience, so when he
wants a thing he sets about getting il.
This may explain why, in SO many in
stances, a bad man steps in and wins
a woman where many good men had
hesitated. You cannot get away from
| the old scientific law-"Like repels, I'M
| like attracts"
There is generally something force
| full about a bad man which appeals TO
a woman as strength, something print
! tive and fine. She feels the personality
of the scamp, for he possesses person
atty. Like the moth fiuttering round
the candle, which gets seOrched at last,
| the woman who is attracted by bad
man usually ends by being his.
/ She may even be aware Of his bad
ness, and it does not repel her. In the
heart of a good woman there is always
the desire to help. She imagines that
her power will be so great that she
will be able to reform him.
Women seem to glory in self-sacrt
fee, and they revel in making martyrs
Of themselves. The most cruelty treat
ed wife will rarely hear word agains
her mate. She herself will tell you o.
his cruelty, but beware of how yol
sympathize. 1t is not for you to con
denim.
Good women so often get the ba'
men, whereas good men seem frequent
ly to WOO women who are not WORTH
of them. Human nature has man
kinks.--London Answers.

The St. Petersburg Independent
prints a timely editorial about the
duties of pedestrians on the streets.
It acknowledges that the foot-passen-
ger has perfect right to be wherever
he is at any time. but at the same
time he does owe enough to the auto
driverto take a reasonable amount of
care of himself. Which is the correct
theory. In the big cities they have
traffic rules for people on foot as well
as in cars, and in the smaller ones
PEOPLE should always look before
crossing the streets. Here in our lit
tie town we often see them majestic
ally stalk across streets without look
ing behind or to either side and be-
come indignant when they hear the
screech of the brakes as some auto
list throws his car on its launches to
keep from killing them.

The New York Times very justly
says: president Wilson has left the
way open for agreement upon prac-
tical and proper reservations to the
peace treaty, if such reservations are
ever to be made. If in either or both
of the two political parties in the Sen
ate there is dissatisfaction over his re-
fusal to make out set of reserva-
tons of his own, it is strange re-
versal of the Senate's attitude. 1t is
the Senate's business to make reser-
vations, not the presidents. The Sen
ate has lately been standing on its
dignity and resenting executive in
reference. Now, when the president
takes it at it's word and announces
that he will send no compromise pro-
gram to the Senate for it's adoption
but that it must perform by itself its
constitutional duty of legislating
some of it's members seem to be hurt

The Miami Herald draws the fol-
lowing picture of young man of rad
ical tendencies in it's home city, and
a good many of US can recognize the
type. The Herald says: "For instance,
among several, there is young man
who has a good trade, good because 1t
requires only short hours for its per-
Torrance and returns high pay. even
as pay is rated these days. He draws,
when he works, at least eight dollars
a day. and he works whenever the
notion strikes him. He has a wife
ard small family. One would suppose
with his start and prospects. that he
would be contented young man, look
ing forward to great things and plan
ming to educate his children and CIV
ing his family a permanent home. He
is doing nothing of the kind. His
family has only barely enough to live
oil. He rents a place in which to live.

broke He does not save. He SEEM
irgly cares very little for his family.

satisfied with life. His remedy for

the rich what they have and distribute
it among such as he. He affects to
believe that there is conspiracy
against him and men like him, to rob
him of what he earns and prevent him
from ever having anything, despite
the fact that he has the ability and
the opportunity to earn. five times as
much in a day as ever did his father
in his most useful and palmy days"
