attended some of the leading Univer-
stiles of the world, but never a day
passes but some old codger comes

age of rudeness. Man has practically
lost respect for woman, because the
average woman of this age has no

the modern woman will actually

Jeers OF the. hoi polloi such public
places, as the White House, will de-

in the world, and malice, is the foun-
dation of all crimes. Malice pervades
all relations of life, the home, the
jury room, the pulpit, the administra-

of the world. During the recent term
of Court for this County, one member
of the jury boldly announced that he
would not render a verdict according to
