There is no difference of opinion between and woman contributor who offers a criticism of our views as to tho permanency the double standard We fully agree with her that it is bad worse than disease worse than earthquakes. than pes tience; that there is nothing that afficts that is
 We believe though that 1t is permanent because pifed but dcspised The man who compasses ruin Is condemned at the time outlives it. His oncnsc Is regarded among his associates pcecadlo.

 Everything possible by legislation and otherwise is being done for who have fallen. There numberless private organizations this purpose. They try to repair possible the ruin that has been wrought. but they have and can restore a fallen woman girl who has slipped to the place fin her community which she occupied. She can not have husband who knowing her past can respect her though he may pity and love her. woman who errs hold up her head women again only by leaving the of down fall. losing herself among strangers. This is the double standard. It cannot be re- moved by legislation. We can not legislate fully against instinct and emotions. They are primal and incradicable.
 The human instinct on which the double stand ards rests was of course implanted for a purpose which we cannot fathom but it is there and has ways been there. in civilized and the savage It is irrelevant to compare the development of equal suffrage That and many of the other rights and privileges of women have been established by legislation Only opinions had to be overcome And the male opinion of womans inferiority was sradu- ally beaten down. But the double standard more than an opinion It is strongly rooted in the male than in the female mind. Both and wo- raen wish that it might be otherwise

It should enact it not only to maintain its repu- tation but also of justice struggling, suffering child and to the helpless despairng
 The bill has been carefully drawn so that the welfare board not interfere in domestic arrange ments except when the welfare the child and flu ture citizen demands it. is so drawn that it adds the least possible financial burden to the state at time when 1t is already overburdened and it pro- poses in the end relief to the state of future burden that which Is always imposed by bad citizen ship.

At this session of the legislature bill will be introduced asking Tor charter for a railroad to extend from Tucson to the boundary line of Utah. MT. C. T. Hayden, formerly of Tucson. who is now engaged in the flour mill ing business near Florence, is the nrime mover of this project. He has looked into the matter very thoroughly and also travelled over the country where 1t is proposed to run the road, and has come to the conclusion that il will be exceptionally easy and con- seouently cheap to build it. The road will strike north from Tucson. passing through Florence and thence up the salt River valley, running a short dis tance to the east of Fort Verde and striking northeasterly toward Lees burg. a small town this side of the ter ritorial line.

WHY WE KNOCK ON WOOD

Why do widows wear caps?
 Because when the Romans were Tn England they rsed to shave their heads a sign Of mourning and as woman could let herself be seen with a bald head she made herself pretty cap. Though the necessity it has long since passed away the cap still remains
 Why do many persons, half in jest and hjalf in earnest knock on wood as a preventive of misfor- tune?
 Because there was at time general belief that trees humanity allied in close bonds of union and that certain trees had healing qualities It was customary person afflicted with disease to take woolen string of three colors and with his right hand tie left loosely to the limb of tree then slip it out and hasten homeward without casting q glance back the belief being that the disease was transferred to the by touching it. Thus from tree if has become eoxsznon practice to touch any tice made of wood to ward off misfortune.
 Why do we heels our shoes?
 Because the sandal like footgear of olden times was not adapted to horseback riding, and when the high boots were introduced heels were put for the purpose of giving the foot a good hold the stirrup-Dearborn Independent

The King Returns

The King Returns
 Constantine, the king of Greece, who has been in hot fat for some time, is home with the bacon.
 Tino got back by taking prompt ad- vantage of the clause. .sNo goods taken back after Christmas.' He was re- turned to power five days before the holidays only slightly damaged and, in fact, almost as good as new.
 "Nhat'll you have for Christmasg'
 Asks old Santa wise and slick; Wen have Constantine" they an
 swered
 For there's nothing makes us sick"
 Constantine returned to Athens in a coach drawn by six horses. He left three years ago in a hack drawn by one. Which shows what a difference five horses make.
 Olive branches were waved over the king by the multitude and, strange as 1t may seem, in no case was branch thick enough to do any damage.
 Hundreds of Greeks rushed out an6 kissed the harness on the horses. That the head coachman had oiled the har- ness with ilootch, thus stampedinE tho people to this action, seems plausible
 Certainly the world is entitled ts some explanation. in all fairness ts Constantine. as to why his loyal sub jects kissed the horses and harness rather than the king.
 Groups of laughing young peopl filled the streets" says the Associ ated Press. Constantine, inside tn coach. was laughing up his sleeve, bu nobody noticed 1t.
