be true of some other woman simi- larly honored.
 Women's brains call for activity and the expression of their beliefs m action. Full understanding and sympathy is felt for those who are inspired by worthy motives to aid tn the solution of public matters.
 But in the case of married woman who feels that home duties would prevent her accepting such a position there may be no two opin- ions. If such is the case she is true to her promise made in marriage she Ls playing fair"
 This woman was married. Prob ably she believes that marriage con stitutes a contract whereby she is in duty bound to look after one end of the daily routine of the lives of her husband and herself while duty calls him to look out for the other. This is the understanding of which even courts would take judicial mo- tice" in a formal action at law. It
 
 ' il is the married woman's duty to | see that provision is made for him in the home which he has prepared. This is husbands first duty: this a wife's.
 There are women so situated that they would have no such grounds for refusal to serve tho people if called ] upon. Possible there will be women 1 fin the future who will see 10 it that ! they have nothing 10 prevent their holding purlic office: they may de- eide to remain single if their ambi- ! ton to win high places in public ! affairs ia sufii, iently strong or they may alter the personal understand ing in marriage.
 There are married women who | ing with their fulfilling their DOT ton of the contract. To them no | stigma should attach. There are men who do not carry out their bargain

 Husband and wife may agree upon a certain course. leaving the wife free to enter public life. the husband free to abrogute portion of his part of the contract.

MEANWHILE A BOOSTER
Piratca' Peppery ShOrtstop Pays Hia Mates Big Tribute for the Won-

derful showing Club Is Making.
 New York, May 26.-Baseball fans throughout the country are inclined to give Walter J. (Rabbit) Maranville, the Pittsburgh shortstop, most of the credit for the remarkable getaway spurt Of the Pirates. The Pittsburgh team, travelling at an abnormally fast pace, is leading the National league by more than 100 points.
 Maranville differs, however. The midget shortstop, who went to the pirates from the Boston Braves in ex- change for three well known players, declares that the fighting spirit which made of the tail-end Boston Braves of 1914 worlds championship team is responsible for the fast start of the Pirates and in his words there ain't going to be any letdown."
 The club is a unit behind Manager Gibson" declared the star infielder." :" '''The new men, among them Tierney at third base, and Skiff behind the bat, have been brought along in extra ordinary form for their first season in the majors. Training rules are rig orously and willingly observed. and no member of the club sees any reason why the present pace should not be maintained.
 ''The old wait 'em out plan is in disrepute unless a pitcher shows un-. mistakable signs of wildness,'' he de- clared If the hurler shows no con- trol most of us are up there now cut ting and slashing 'em.' It hasn't been generally recognized but that rather than any increased speed in the ma terial of the ball is what is making life rard for the pitchers.'

T'.AIT.

IL seems cer, that Former Pres ident Taft WI. appointed Chici Justice to fill tho ,acancy caused by the death of former Chief Justice White. IL Is quite certain that he vii, accept the appointment
 When William Toward Taft was President one of the many criticisms of him was that he listened to too many advisers. Political opponents refused to believe that he had d nina Of his own.
 Since that time MT. Tafts popu- larity has grown. He has travelled much. meeting all sorts and condi- tions of men. and he has displayed a continued vital interest in public ar- fairs. It Is believed that the strange situation exists--strange in a man of his nature ycars-that he has de- velopod.
 But the criticism of him as Presi- dent, while perfectly proper if it was true, would not apply to Mir. Taft in l the position of Chief Justice. The real judicial mind never has an un- | changeable opinion until all sides have 1 been heard. After that. and after the research in tho law made with all the i facts considered. the decision of such ! mind is as firm as any human deci- sion may be.
 Many lawyers never get over this i habit of unwillingness to pass an 1 opinion upon the simplest matter of ! life until they hear all the facts: fail ing to be able to do this. they remain open minded. always ready to discuss the matter: never dogmatic in their ! expressions
 A Chief Justice is in a position to [ hear all the facts; to study the law in the light of those facts: to weigh the arguments of counsel He has no eN- cuse for a vascillating mind.
 But the greatest asset Mir. Taft would have as Chief Justice would be his experience as President of the United States-this, granting that he has the legal mind needed to fulfill the exacting duties which mean so much to the welfare of this country. As President he obtained. as all other presidents are able to obtain if thes are sincerely open to human contact point of view which could not fail but broaden a mind big enough to grasp the significance of the affairs, small and great. which are brought to the attention of the Chi Execu-
 tive. Perhaps it may seem strange to consider the Presidency as a fine prep aration for the post Of Chief Justice.
 but such is the case.
 MT. Taft does not possess the judi
 ciaI mind of Elihu Root or of Sccrc. tary Hughes. But he is great law.

RULLS AND RIVERS

Where the restless windswept Sing their song of sleepy days When the mallard ducks are flying
 To the sun-kissed south'rn bays; Where the inland streams are winding Is the place I long to be, With the rippling rills and rivers
 That go racing to the sea. There's a fisher-boy a-calling
 And he will not let me wait, I can see him, sort O smiling,
 As he portions out the bait. I am walking in his footsteps;
 For that fellows only me Where the ripping rills and rivers
 Go a-tumbling to the sea- On the messy banks at twilight
 When the purple's in the sky, And the flashing of the water Huns a crooning lullaby, Men may laugh at crowded cities
 While their hearts are dancing, free
 Like the ripping rills and rivers
 That go plunging to the sea. From across the silent meadows
 I can hear the kill-dee call; Hear the whip-poor-will a-whoopin', ~
 And the bob-o-link, and all; And my heart goes on a-dreaming
 Of those places OCT the lea Where the rippling rills and rivers
 Go a-surging to the sea.

SMOULDERING RUINS ALL THAT IS LEFT
Irish Times Sees End of Peace
 Chance in Dublin Outbreak

Dublin. May 26.-A mass of ruins marked today the site of the historic customs house of Dublin which was burned yesterday afternoon by raid ing party of civilians. During the night sullen bursts of flame in the twisted chaos of stone and steel light ed up the scene, about which British armed forces kept guard.
 Fifty men arrested by crown forces
 after a pitched battle in and about
 the old building, spent the night in
 various prisons in the city, and the
 bodies of upwards of a dozen persons
 killed during the struggle reposed in
 morgues. It was believed that some
 of the raiders perished in the fire they
 kindled. The exact number of wound
 ed had not been learned early today.
 The customs house was completed
 in 1791 and was one of the chiet
 architectural ornaments of the citytl although a railroad bridge built across( the river Liffey detracted to some ex- tent from it's beauty. The building housed the local government board, the boards of trade and public works and other local bodies. Archives of an almost priceless character were destroyed in the flames which swept through the building after gasoline had been thrown about and ignited by the raiding party. It was said here today that the destruc. ! ton of no other building in the city. not even Dublin castle, would have caused as great a loss to crown ofh- cials
 l A heavy rain fell throughout the l night but flames were still raging in l parts of the ruined building this l forenoon. Troops were quartered ia Liberty hall nearby during the night, and the approaches to the customs
 house were cut off by barbed wire en- 1 tanglements. It was found this morn l ing the government board offices which it had been hoped had escaped l flames. had been destroyed.
 1 "It is not merely a blow to Irfeh | pride and commerce. said the Iri6 i Times this morning in commentiS on the fire, "but it is a blow to all our prospects of peace. It's political effect in Great Britain will be to still further
 discredit the republican demands but
 the effect in Ireland will be to in- crease the difficulty of reaching . peaceful Irish settlement. ~~,
