It comes this The California prohibitionists have a Hor the legislature who is determined to marry i and before the election. If she were nominated as mith and elected as Mrs, Jones, what would be the candidate she's woman after fect? The prohibitionists tried to get the lady to advance or Postpone her wedding. No, sir, she had set the date and that Wedding would come off on schedule time, if it blew all the Politics in California to smithereens. to the secretary of state, who decided that Mrs. Jones shall Wun at the election time as Spinster Smith. 4 It may be some tough on Mr. Jones to see his Se whooping it up, politically, as Miss Smith, alias Mrs. Jones, but it goes, and Jones may feel tougher before the end comes. MSay that the lady is elected. Then, if she is sworn in as iss Smith, there'll be plenty of Jones’ dear friends who f habitually refer to him as Jones, husband of Miss Smith Surely seems to be up to Jones to duck that wedding or out and hustle against the prohibitionists on the quiet ing as the husband of a female statesman would sure be ing to the soul, but just think of doing so as husband of @ spinster female statesman! But, an alias is next best thing to an alibi, in statescraft, id we're glad that the lady can have one, regardless of what gent she’s bound to marry on the very date set has to about. ae AS AN instance of a worthy cause, we commend the fusion of Utah rats and progressives for the purpose of preventing Smoot's re- to the U.

Nope, You Can’t Read ’Em HE morals of a woman are read Miss Grace Hutchins, costume designer of Columbia “University. Like many other collegians, the lady is strong on theory weak on facts. It is true that many of the fashions inate with the demi-monde of Europe, but it is nothing ort of insult to say of the vast number of women who as loyal to the fashions as they can be that they are on Tevel with those originators, morally or any other way. The majority of women adopt the imported styles of simply because they are the styles and with little Mo consciousness of being at all immoral, or even ridicu- in their appearance. Sometimes the styles “go too or have features that appear to be rather idiot it in her gowns, says a % co but be truthfully said that woman has made more progress d the comfortable and sensible in her attire within the 50 years than man has in respect of his own dress Following the fashion is considered by woman as the to do, and it is only exceptionally that in doing so moral effect enters into her thought or purpose. The ing is true of men. "Tis not the bonnet that makes ‘woman but the head that’s in it, and the college theorist 9 should go down the street picking out the moral or im- ‘mor vt pha they wore would soon find himself or her- in the gutter, the jail or the asylum for the idiotic. _ Clothes, fashions, may make you a reputation but char- is what you are, and you can't read character by clothes more than you can appraise an unbroken egg by its shell any successful scoundrel can own a plug hat and the wife and mother on earth is likely to delight in a bonnet screams of indifference to morality AND THE county is going to pay for 16 more guards for John D.'s ico place. Every day some new reason turns up for John's paying taxes graciously. : Man Has to, Anyway IAN a man (a Pullman porter), live on $25 a month?” This was the question put by California's railroad com- sioner to Richmond Dean, general manager of the Pullman What do you suppose was Mr. Dean's auswer? It was: “Our pay rate is based on the assumption that the trav- ig public is willing to contribute something toward the ipport of those that serve its comforts.” The railroad companies pay the Pullman Co. for the honor hauling its cars and the traveling public is relied on for recent wages for Pullman employes There are gas-pipe cinches operated quietly and unosten- tiously, such as the express company cinch. Then there are conduit cinches, such as that of the Pullman Co But why should that railroad commission put that ques- Hon to the Pullman manager? He doesn't know. The question = Should be put at the traveling public. All that Dean does is to plank down $25 and pass the problem of living on to the © passengers. If the traveling public wants its berth made up | Of the railroad dirt brushed off its clothes, let it tip enough to enable Pullman employes to live. What's the sense in bothering Dean about serving up the comforts? He's got the _tailroad companies and the porters and the passengers by the = throat.

It fell to my lot te go to Italy. There I found lots of my country- men at work. They were existing on the cheapest kind of food and sending their wages home.
