The Human Side of the News
Queen Wilhelmina Shrewd Ruler of Rich
Empire-Crowned at Ten-Like Victoria
Chesterfield, Aristocrat, Passes.
BY EdUin C.. Hill

No circus wagon ever
built compares in it's red
and gold gorgeousness with
the golden state coach of
the Netherlands as it rum
bles through the cobbled
and flag-bedecked streets Of
The Hague, bearing a
plump, blue-eyed, still gold
en-haired and pleasant-look-
ing lady of fifty-two to the
Parliament House. And no
shrewder ruler reigns than
this same comfortably up
holstered lady-Wilhelmina,
Queen of the Netherlands
who tells the States-General
in her speeches from the
throne that the order Of
the day is economy and pro-
lection Of the Dutch mar
kets.

Build It NOW
The Dangerous Bridge

The citizens Washington are course interested in the
type of bridge which it proposed to build Rock Creek
at Calvert Street.
But they much interested in having SAFE bridge
built at to replace the present DANGEROUS structure
The controversy whether the bridge should be of
steel masonry construction should permitted delay
the beginning of work.
The primary purpose behind getting rid of the present bridge
is not its appearance, although it is eyesore
The the old bridge must be taken down that it
isn't it is likely fall down That is the considered opinion
of the experts and has been written page after page
testimony before congressional committees.
One heavy truck might the entire structure to fall
Into the valley.
Facing that prospect Washngonans asked to stand by
while architects and engineers wrang for months whether
the bridge should be made of steel of masonry.
All of the type of bridge to be built is unOrtu
nate elementary until Director of the Budget Lewis Douglas
can be persuaded that he should release of the District
taxpayers money to finance construction
The is the Treasury and can't be spent for any
other purpose but Mr. Douglas and the fetish of economy
baking its expenditure for this legitimate purpose.
Mr. Douglas can't be moved by realization of the danger to
which he subectng citizens he might be swayed by the
thought that the bridge be built cheapy
than it will be possible to construct it in few months
Prices of materials and labor are going up rapidly.
The District should be permitted to spend its money for this
necessary project NOW.

Knows Problems

The piquant and attractive
little girl queen developed
into an able and serious ruler,
very much like the late Queen
Victoria in many ways. She
knows thoroughly the nature
of the problems she must
solve daily. She speaks Ger
man, French, Italian and
English, as well as her native
Dutch. She keeps the ablest
counsellors at her side-but
she never signs a blank check.
She wants to know.
Of simple, healthy tastes,
she loves the outdoors. Her
people see her skating on the
Zuyder Zee, bicycling along
the neat, clean-swept streets,
or trudging along a country
road-with a cavalryman

When it comes to practical re-
suits, it is quite as important
as the Constitution, and it in
fluences as many lives.
For the ladies, themselves,
firmly believe they are Orchids.
They are not only sure of this,
but they can Say It With
Votes. Therefore it behooves
any wise judge, whether he be-
lieves it or not, to agree with
all these aggrieved or poten-
TALLY aggrieved wives, mothers
and sweethearts-and hand
down decisions accordingly.
So don't laugh off that Rar-
est-orchid theory. Consider it
gravely. It is a grave factor in
our Status Quo, and it's raising
Cain with plenty of your fel-
low citizens. Therefore-IS, or
isn't, the good Judge right?
ARE WOMEN DIFFERENT?
ARE THEY RARER, FINER
THAN THE MEN WHO SUP
PORT THEM?
SHOULD THEY RECEIVE
EXTRA-SPECIAL DE LUKE

SHOULD THEIR TANTRUMS
BE OVERLOOKED, THEIR

GROUND THAT THEY ARE

HUMANITY?
AND IF A MAN CAN'T GET

PROVE HIM TO BE A COARSE

Of London, to that reward
which awaits a gentleman.
He made his courtly bow
from life at the age of 7s,
the best looking, the best
dressed and the best-man-
nered aristocrat in England.
Not remarkable, perhaps,
when one recalls that he,
the tenth earl Of the name.
was a collateral descendant
Of that Philip Stanhope,
fourth Lord Chesterfield,
whose name has come down
for exactly $50 years as the
perfect synonym for cour-
tesy.
"His manners are Chester

today. Wise, as well as
courteous was the fourth
earl. One of the best text

Real Ruler

Communists, with klaxon-
horn voices, try to shout
her down, but never for a
moment does her firm, clear
voice falter as she delivers
addresses which are models
for brevity and pertinency.
They are addresses that
touch the lives and for
tunes of vast populations
and set the pace for a great
empire.
The Netherlands-Holland
is such a small corner of
Europe, that we are apt to
overlook the fact that little
Holland, like little England,
is the motherland Of great
colonies, clear around the
curve of the earth. The
Importance of the Dutch Co.

hundreds of smaller islands

Curacao - was thoroughly

Fair to Ladies

But he was fair to tn"
ladies, the old earl, for he
wrote again to his son:
"T am Of the opinion that
YOU wiN both think and speak
more faVOrGbly Of wOmsn than
YOU do noW. You seem to think
that, from Eve dOWnWGrd, they
haze done a great deal Of mis-.
chief. Az for that lady, I giVe
her up to you; but, since her
time, history OiH inform 20"
that men haze done much more
mischief in the WOrld th0"
wOmen, and to say the truth
would not adUiss you to trust
either more than is absolutely
neeessary."
He was one of the most
perfectly poised and SELF
possessed men who ever
lived. He was Viceroy Of
Ireland in the days when
rebellions famed fortnightly.
One morning he was
awakened by an excited
aide who shouted in his
ears: "The people Of Con-
naught are rising!" Reach
ing under his pillow for his
watch, the Earl glanced at
it and remarked, amiably:
"Well, it is 9 o'clock. 1t
is time for them to be

vulgar, as dependable or unre-
liable. as kind or cruel, as wise
or silly as the average man?
Should she, in this day Of
equal, rights and equal oppor-
tunities, receive the same treat
ment, bear the same RESPONSE
bility as men?
Should she face the same
criticism which the man faces;
endure the same competition;
be judged by the same stand
ards?
Should she be given the
same condemnation If she falls
down on her job?
And should it be as ex-
cusable for a husband to turn
against a worthless, unfair wife
as it is for a wife to turn
against a worthless husband?
Obviously, if modern women
really believed in equality it
should not be necessary to ask
or answer those last seven
questions. They would admit
their truth, and agree to all
the conditions, without the
asking.
BUT THE AVERAGE
WOMAN, ANCIENT OR MOD

EQUALITY, OR WANT
EQUALITY. SHE DOES NOT
BELIEVE SHE IS AS GOOD
AS MAN. SHE BELIEVES SHE

BELIEVE THAT WOMEN'S
RUTHLESS AND UNREASON-

The honeymoon is over when
the bride stops worrying for

heart-and begins worrying for
fear he'll lose his job.
There appear to be three
kinds of husbands. Those who
generously hand over all their
money to their wives; those
who dole out the pennies as
though they were radium, and
those who spend money like
water-no matter WHOSE
money it is.

based their suits upon petitions for re-
covery of the salary cuts as the proper
procedure for bringing the question
before the United States Supreme Court.
Neither asked for interest on the de-
Quoted amounts.
Justice ODoncghue, whose salary of
$4,000 year was ordered reduced 10
per cent, said in his petition that he
gave up the greater emoluments of
private practice with the understanding
he would receive as a justice a salary
which could not be diminished during
his continuance in office" and that in
retirement after the age Of 70 years he
wCu.d receive the same compensation
he was receiving while on the bench.
After the economy bill was passed,
the petition points out. Controller Gen
eral McCarl ruled the District Supreme
Court and the Court of Appeals were
not constitutional courts, but legisla-
tive courts and that the justices thereof
did not come under the constitutional
prohibition against reduction in Sala-
rieS.
The plaintiff told the Court of Claims
that despite his protests the reduction
was made effective during the last six
months of 1882 and that he is in
formed similar reductions will continue
to be made. His petition also stated
that 10 per cent reductions have been
made in the compensation of Associate

ferred the powers of constitutional
courts upon the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia and the Court of

article Ill of the Constitution"
Attention was called to the fact that
in May, 1908, the Court of Claims in
the case of Harriet T. James VS.. United
States, held the District Supreme Court
was one of the inferior courts of the
United States, permanently established
under Section l, Article III, of the
Constitution. and that the justices were
entitled to the constitutional guarantee
of judicial independence arising from
tenure in office and permanence in
salary. This decision, it was contended,
held that the District Supreme Court
was mot merely a legislative creation
established wholly under the exclusive
power of legislation over the District
of Columbia conferred upon Congress"
The United States Supreme Court af-
firmed the decision in the James case,
but did not pass directly on the status
