~ NE Of the troubles with the
world now Is that we have got
~ a new woman but we have got
the same old man. Conse-
historic Adam are, naturally unable
to hit it off together.
Hence the falling off in the sale Of
wedding rings, and the prevalence Of
divorce. and the sounds Of mutiny
young creatures, with different the
cries of life and opposite view
points, are rash enough to adventure
forth together on the stormy sea of
matrimony.
women have as completely changed
in every way, as if the leopard had
shed his spots. The girl of today is
no more like what her mother was at
her age than if she belonged to
different species of beings. She no
holds mothers opinions, or has the
aspirations mother had, or dreams
the dreams that mother dreamed,
than she wears clothes out after the
fashion that mother wore when she
was a girl. The modern girl has de-
veloped a natural waist mentally as
we'll as physically, and she couldn'
compress her ideas into mother s
tightly-laced eighteen-inch belt meas
ure even if she so desired. Which
she doesn't.
But men, so far as women are
concerned, have not altered. Grand
pas shoes still fit them, for they
stand pat on the woman question
just where they have always stood
Of course there may be an excep.
the great majority of men have not
changed an 1ota.
Their ideals Of the perfect wom-
an, their opinion Of what a woman
should think and feel, their view of
woman's proper attitude towards the
lords of creation, are precisely those
that have been handed down from
father to son ever since the dear old
cave days.
This brings about a situation that
is tragic for. both sexes. 1t is tragic
for women because men utterly fail
to understand their motives, and
their reasons for wanting to do the
things they are trying to do, and It
is doubly tragic for men because 1t
drives them into making such fatal
blunders.
For instance, men, still true to the
ancient masculine theory that fem
mime brains are only palatable when
they are scrambled, fight shy Of the
clever girl who is well-informed,
ern man. Nike Grandpa. is still true
to the theory that the ideal wife is
the clinging v1ne So he goes hunt
ing pathetically around for some
soft, dishraggy maiden, without an
idea in her head, and with no desire
to do anything but sit at his feet and
ask him what he thinks she thinks.
In these days of intelligent, alert,
well-educated women this species is
becoming so rare that the poor, dear
man is driven into marrying an idiot.
and then he wonders that domestici-
ty is so dull, and why he can find
no companionship at home.
If men could only get over their

Lucre IN Politics
THE non-partisan and ever temperate

THE non-partisan and ever temperate
New York Evening Post is moved to
observe that owing to the revela-
tions before the Kenyon committee, "the
Republicans are rather on the defensive in
the matter of extrayagant campaign financ-
ing" and that to such charges the ''short
and conclusive" reply must be Publicity"
Whether or not 1t be true, as some watch
ers of the political game have ventured to
assert, that the interests behind Mr.. Hard
Ing are prepared to spend as much as one
hundred million dollars in the effort to
elect him, 1t cannot be gainsaid that Re-
publican OUTLAWS of this kind have been ex-
ceedingly large in former contests-far
larger than on the Democratic side-and
that in the recent primaries they were so
Gargantuan as to shock many of the G. o.
2. brethren themselves. Nor can it, be de-
MED that such tendencies, if permitted to
grow, will become deeply demoralizing and
at last pollute the very springs of govern
ment. Legitimate and needful expenses run
regrettably high in a national campaign-
or, for the matter of that, in every arena
OF present day politics. But in Justice to
all concerned, especially to the electorate
and to the country, there should be reason
able bounds to this lavishing of lucre in
quest Of office and influence
The one effectua1 check is publicity. not
publicity at the close of the campaign, after
the streams OF money have gone their
beguiling way, but at frequent and regular
intervals in the midst of the drive Daily
statements may not be requisite, but as
suredly weekly ones are. The public should
know, as the contest develops, upon what
resources and with whose support each par
ty Is proceeding. This would be not onlv
enl1ghtening to the plain people but also
wholesomely influential upon the lords of
the political war-chest. The latter are all
honorable men, Of course, but naturally liza

The Democrats have called for unreserved

The1r opponents If heartily for frankness

public full in the face.

"What on earth is that?" asked An
drea, her eyes fixed far ahead on an
enormous pale-yellow dome that
looked as If all the haystaeks in the
world had been gathered into one.
"That," said Manchester, his vast
chest swelling in equally immeasur-
able pride, "is my Gaia, my hut"

"What / see isn't possible"
"oh, yes 1t is" said Manchester.
That's my hut; eighty feet high, one
hundred and twenty feet across and
most hundred yards dash around"
"But how did you build itT asked

misery.

Half an hour later they made a
landing. "Want me to carry you

"or will you walk?"
"I'll walk" said Andrea, going sud-
denly white with s.ckening recollec-
ton.

say, for you cried out just now from a
hell infinitely deeper than mine"
The blaz6 of light In MacCloster's
eyes died to a brooding glow. There
was something in Andrea's face, some
illumination of the clean soul within
her, that spoke with sure voice,
louder, more persuaslyely than words,

The laugh rang out full-throated,
thunderous, terrible for the freight of
rage that 1t carried. 1t rolled and
echoed across the silent night like the
roar of stricken lion. Scarcely had
1t died to a stiffness when to Andrea's
ears came a clear command, calm as
the voice of an executioner, "Lie down.

Before she could quite obey a rifle
