e —— O ———— THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY AUGUST 16, 1903, WOMAN'S PLACE IN' WORLD Ella Darling MoKillip Adds Another 8hort Ohapter to the Debate. HOW TO BE HAPPY THPUGH MARRIED I the Wife is Guided by Common L Her Wedded Ijfe ‘Will Not Be a Fallure, BEWARD, Neb., Aug. 14.—To the editor of The Bee: The Literary Digest of August L under the titis of “A Woman's Indlct- ment of Present Day Marital Relations, reviows and article by Mrs Charlotte Perkins Gilman, in which the writer con- oludes that marriage is = failure, for women at least, as long as it is maintained on Ita present basis, for the reason that this relation {s 8o one-sided. A woman's husband, children and home are expected o be her world, while the man has his wite, children; home and the world as well.” Mrs. Gliman supposes a case of a woman, with satistactory domestic relations, a kind husband and nice children, an extensive and means to gratity her tastes in its adornment, but she has uneasy longings, unsatisfied ambitions, and cravings for companionship which need the larger gen- eral relations of Iife to satisfy, and con- sequently marriage is a fallure, and it will only cease to be such when both sexes realize they have far wider duties and desires than thoss of the domestic relations. It seems strange that a publication like the Literary Digest should give space to the review of such a bilous moan. If marriage was a fallure in the case above cited, it was because the woman was a soulful temale, devoid of common sense, who with everything necessary for happiness, re- fused to enjoy life because she had not & job on the railroad, or was not other- wise mixed up In the world lke her husband. Man's Side If marriage is one sided, as the woman asserts, the woman has the easy alde of it, for she is provided for, protected, humored, loved, and petted, uniess she becomes 80 disagreeable or commonplace that it Is impossible to love her. Thou- sands of women expect love and devotion from thefr husbands, and all the fortunate gifts of life as thelr rightful dué when they have neither wit, beauty, braine, agreeabllity, or scarcely common sense and really ought to be thankful if their hu bands tolerate them, and thelr acquaint- ances refrain from throwing things at them. not in our stars, that and we generally get all we pay for in life. In married life the man holds the heavy end of the lever. He has to provide a home and plunge In to the struggle for existence to keep It going. That is his world, and it {s no sinecure when he sces men as capable as himself constantly going to the wall, and thelr familles to want. A woman has her husband and her world, the same as a man has his wife and his world. Her world, which {s a far more agreeable workshop, is the home, with ita possibilities of culture In music and good literature, with its artistic adornments and its agreeable associations of husband, children and friends. That is warld enough for a womanly woman, but if she ia not & womanly woman, and there is domestic unhappiness, it is not marriage that is a failure, but the woman herself. Responsibility of the Wife, Any woman who has a home the comtorts of life and a husband who does not get drunk or beat her has no business to allow marriage to be a fallure, for men are what the women make them, generally, and while some of our fair artisans do not exactly rank with Phidias or Praxiteles in thelr human sculpturing, yet upon the whole they turn out pretty falr jobs. A wite can make or mar most any man, and in nine cases out of ten where mar- riage is a failure it s woman's fault, for the home is her especial realm, and the love and attention a woman gives her home is the only investment tlat always pays 100 per cent, and it is her duty to make her home the most desirable place on earth for husband, children and friends. And it she falls, the fault Is not In mar- riage maintained on its present basis, as millions of happy homes all over our broad land can testify, but in her own lack of tact. Many a good housekeeper ls a miserable home maker, and is about as Interesting to her husband as a chalr, a table or any other plece of household furniture. And such women often complain that marriage ia & fallure because their husbands do not love them. Well, perhaps they can't. Be- causs we ought to love a person s no Teason in the world for our dolng so, and taking. into consideration the natural con- trariness of human nature, it is a very good Teason for our not doing so; and there 88 no reason why a man should love his ‘wife, because she does her duty and is & #00d housekeeper, If she is not agreeable and attractive enough to compel his affec- tion, than there is for a woman to love ber husband just because he earns the lving and keeps his barn clean. Love is not governed by the will ‘What some women need Is more common senss and less sentiment. They do not seem to realize that a man cannot always keep at that high pressure of love and enthusi- asm that made him want to jump over the moon, that he cannot always be ripping the universe to tatters and vowing by the eter- nal stars how ho adores her. He has caught his car, and there is no occasion, as he can see, for him to keep jumping off and chasing 1t every lttle while, J to make things interesting for hix wife. And it s her businesas to make life's journey pleasant by cultivating a sympathy, & con- genlality of tastes and a jolly comaraderie that is far more comfortable when we get the rheumatism than love's hercics. When Marriages Never Fail. ‘We never hear anything about marriage Being & fallure in those countries where Woman I8 held in no more consideration than & chattel, but In Ameriea, where woman's condition s ideal—for I would rather be an American woman with her freedom, intelligence, soclal and elvie rights, with the courtesy, deference, re- spect and love that is given her—than to Telgn & queen on any foreign throne. It the fallures that attract our atten- tlon, 1t is only when & couple has trou- bie that they are worth talking about. Di- Yorces are only 1 per cent of the marriages, statistics say, and @ buciness where the fallures are only 1 per cent would be re- garded as a very safe investment. 1 bave ne sympathy for Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman's soulful women, who sigh for a sphere ‘and look upon the home as a secondary consideration.

PARIS, Aug. 15—(New York World Ca- blegram—8pecial Telegram.)—The Metro- politan Subway company does not hesitate to throw all the blame for the subway dis- aster on Chauvin, the motorman of train No. 43, whose passengers were all killed. Chauvin, on the other hand, makes a vigorous statement, putting the manage. ment in a bad light. He declares that his motor had been in bad shape a long time, and that he had taken It to the repair shop twice within the twenty-four hours before the accident occurred, and that all the motormen made dally reports of the defective condition of thelr motors, but that the officlals ignored their complaints, saying that the motors were good enough and that the traffic was too heavy to admit of repairs. Chauvin says he wanted to sldetrack his train at Belleville, and was astonished to find that the train was run by the station, with the evident intention of going as far as Place de la Nation. He avers that he whistled to stop the train, but that the motorman behind aid not hear the signal. The officials of the road belittle Chauvin's statement, saying that the only repair the motor needed was to the brakes, and that its condition was in no wise responsible for the accident. TFinanclally, the catas- trophe was a serlous blow. Metropolitan shares have already dropped off more than 60 points and the number of passengers fell from 230,000, on the day before the accident, to about 100,00 on the following day. It is expected that the municipality will require additional ventilators and exits. That will necessitate the expenditure of milllons by the company. Then the damages to be paid for loss of life will be heavy. MAY RATIFY THROUGH FEAR Colombian Senate, Afrald of Anne: tion, May Accept Canal Treaty. PANAMA, Aug. 15.—Latters received from Bogota say that up to August 1 the Panama canal committee had only held one meeting on account of the disgust of the members with the conduct of Senator Perez, who Insisted on recalling the treaty at the first meeting. Benator Obaldia, a warm sup- porter of the treaty, has had several con- ferences with President Marroquin and United States Minister Beaupre, but not- withstanding their efforts the committes could not be Induced to report in favor of the treaty. Both the house of representatives and the senate are deeply impressed with the persistent rumors which reach Bogota of the possibility of a movement for the seces- slon of the isthmus in case the treaty is not ratified. The fear that such an eventuality might follow failure to ratify the treaty appears to constitute the only chance for tavorable action. POLAR TRIP IS POSTPONED Satlor Killed by Flying Rope Brings Antaretic Expedition Back B to Port. PARIS, Aug. 15.—The Antarctia expedition of Dr. Jean Charcot, son of the Allenist, was to have salled from Havre this after- noon on the steamer Francals, but the ac- cldental death of a sallor soon after the departure of the vessel led to the return -of the itian which: will not leave until tomorrow. ‘When about a mile out the hawser of the steam tug which was towing the vessel parted, an end striking a sailor, killing him instantly.

Com- menting on this, the World tomorrow will say: There is to be a struggle lasting indefinitely between the International Mercantile Ma- rine company and the Cunard Steamship company, as s evinced by the statement by the latter company that ft would in- augurate o Mediterranean service from Boston, and the counter-statemsnt from the White Star that it, too, would have a sim- llar service from the same port. For two years the Dominion line, which is o part of the “steamship combine” hi crated a line to Mediterranean poris an had the Boston fleld to itself. The White Star now says it will take over the Do- minfon line, improve it and bring it to so high a standard that the avallable Cunard ships_may be outclassed. An officlal of the White Star line sald today that It Is “a friendly competition.” PRINTERS COMPLETE LABORS Forty-Ninth Ann Session of the International Union Comen to a Close.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Aug. 15.—Advices from Lander at 2 o'clock this morning indlcated that that town would probably Dbe the scene of a double lynching and that James Keffer and James Dollard would be the victims. A large ciowd of axcited men gathered about the Lander jall late last night and for a time it looked as though the bhstlle would be stormed at once. The mob was armed with rifles and tevolvers and two or three men carried ropes. After a brief consultation smong the leaders, however, the crowd apparently dispersed, but an attack is expected at any moment Dollard killed Frank Bryant in a saloon Wednesday, affer having brained Ross Stringer, with a board, Dollard, who Is an ex-roughrider, was drunk, and was shoot- ing up the town at the time. James Keefer was convicted of murder- ing Willlam Warren, a stage tender, on the Lander-Rawlins line two years ngo and was sentenced to be hapged, but was granted a stay of execution pending nn appeal to the supreme court. The regular guard is at the jall, but that is small, Up to 10 c'clock today no lynching had occurred at Lander, but the sentiment in favor of ene appeared to be very strons, and it s feared an attempt will be made tonight, If not before, to take both Bollad and Kefter from 3ail and hang them. Today two brothers and two half broth- ers of James Dollard, accompanied by sev- eral friends, to the number of about & dogen, arrived, well armed.

THE COLLEGE BOY HARVESTER Adventure with the Hardy, Free- ed Milkmald Fashion in Ka One of the college boys who went to the western Kansas harvest flelds writes to & friend an account of his experiences, ing: “Well, this isn't what 1t is cracked up to be, and Harold would have confessed | himself all in and come home to mamma | inside of two days after the starting if| he hadn't been worse atrald of the joshing | of you devils than of blistered paws. Speak- ing of blistered paws, It's no joke. Before night the first day I had pufts all over| my hands and that night the fat dame| of this household stuck needles into ‘em | and tapped me untll I ran water like a hydrant. But the old boy was good to me | and for two days he kept me at choring ! around, hauling water, helping the fat| dame cook and playing the baby generally. | Then I tackled the header boxes again for ten stralght days and I really got to liking | it. But say, Willie, don’t you belleve that story about a shortage in the world's crop. I know better, for 1 pitched enough of | the blamed stuff to make two crops of | world's breadstuff. “And, Willie, there is another thing you can disabuse your festering intellect of. | You can't spoon with hese country girls with ‘the joyous freedom that you read| about. We have a roly-poly girl here who doesn't wear corsets and who don’t care how much sock she displays when she kicks at the cat. I kissed her the other night. I won't do it any more. If I want exercise of a rapid kind I will go out and ground an electric light wire through my handsome person. Bhe whacked me on the side of the head with a fist like a ham, and don't you doubt it, Willle, she meant every word of it. “I get $ a day and ‘found,’ ‘Found’ means that the old man comes to your downy couch at 3 o'clock in the morning snd, finding you asleep, whoops you out to feed the horses. By the time the horses are fed we are called to breakfast. Did you ever eat ple at breakfast? Well, we have pie for breakfast every other morn- ing. you have ple you can't complain at any other indignity. And every ple we have had so far Is made out of ralsins. Now, don't get it Into your head that raisins won't make good ple. They do. “After breakfast we hie us away to the fleld and cut wheat until the fat dame waves @ tablecloth out of the window to | tell us that dinner is ready. Then we eat |and go out and cut more wheat, and the old boy keeps us at K untl it gets too $30 to the clear. The old boy says he will g1ve me §2 4 month to stay and plow, and a thresher man offers $1.60 a day and ‘found’ if I will work for him. But $%0 is capital enough for Harold. I am not grasp- ing or sordid. “(P. S$.~I had & heart-to-heart talk with the roly-poly girl last evening. She sald I ought to be ashamed of myself for kissing her in the house where the fat dame might see. If it wasn't for school taking up I belleve I'd tackie that job of plowing.)"— Kansas City Journal, PREFERENCE FOR SMOKERS Who Wanted Work Done Quickly Found it Worth While to Favor Them. “The folks all gave me the laugh when I sent down to the city for ten men to come up to my rural place to work— smokers preferred. 1 wanted a job finished quick, digging drains and jaying tles, and some other things of the sort; what's more, 1 wanted it done within two weeks.

Out came the pipes and bags—scratch, puff, and, presto! down went the tiles all shipshape and quickly. was the same with the rest of the men. They worked and smoked, wmoked and worked; if they lost time fooling with the pipe they made it more than up when the pipes started business. Mind, L do not find any fault with the non-smoker—on the contrary I admire the man who does not use the weed. But when it comes down to It real old hard work I will teke the smoker every time when I want my job done quick- Iy ‘And I presume you lighted a perfecto and looked tho thing over with a degres of satisfaction that was sublime?” “Hardly; 1 never smcke myself.
