BEA PS 4 e e7e ° ” > Our Modern “Civilization q W ORDS are inadequate. os No words the civilization clares a woman's life valueless as compared with the life of a cow. We look at Mexico and Russia and we exclaim “Barbarous !”" ? a Yet here in our own state of Washington we allow rail foad companies and automobilists to kill our wives through negligence of engineers and drivers, and we let them escape scott free a The majesty of the law intervenes under our system of Civilization and deprives us even of the right to sue for damages. : When a husband loses his wife, the law says, there is no money loss. Therefore you can't sue the company for damages. You haven't lost anything When children lose their mother, the law declares, they have not sustained a property loss f Therefore, they are not entitled to any compensation, and it makes no difference how viciously negligent the railroad company or the automobilist was or whoever it was who killed the mother : Tf you file a complaint, the court will throw it out before it ever gets to trial, That's the law. Tt was law for centuries. We've inherited it from Eng- land. And our supreme court refuses to change the law, though it has declared that if it had to decide it originally, ' it would have decided it differently. But edent is prece- dent, says the supreme court, AND BLINDLY IT FOL- LOWS PRECEDENT RATHER THAN JUSTICE. Let the locomotive engine or the auto run over your cow and kill it negligently, and the law steps in to help you ' collect damages.. There’s all the difference between a cow ‘and a woman, the law says. A cow has money value. CIVILIZED? MAYBE WE ARE. The Smell’s the Same 7 HE democratic rivers and harbor bill—appropriating ap- : proximately $90,000,000—is the usual “pork barrel” y full of rotten meat. It is pretty much the same old , with the same old proportion of bad meat, ‘though may be more pieces of the meat. can portray which de contents of which always represent rascally waste and amental folly, no matter what political party packs the ” President Wilson cannot pick out the pieces of bad meat preserve the good meat, representing funds for needed wise public improvements. He must condemn or ap- the barrel as a whole. His decision is to be based Like most other presidents who had to pass on “the pork ,” Wilson will feel that the situation is unfair to him tendering it impossible to do the right thing and causing to be more or less justly damned if he does and damned individual would stand for. ii isn’t business, but politics, more’s the shame. If count wants “pork,” it has got to take the maggoty with the rest, and an executive who would like to honestly and patriotically must stand the cussing. 00 Much Expert 3 E can feel nothing save contempt toward that tobacco expert who declares that “the only way to tell a good is to smoke it.” He says there’s nothing indicative the ash being white, or the wrapper spotted, or in how oe smells when plank down 5 cents or so for it; the color has absolutely nothing to do with the strength taste. This expert is clearly no gentleman. Anyone who pulls nh a good thing is no gentleman. [he great majority of enjoy a good cigar because they think it good. Why olish this blessed fact? Tobacco satisfaction, like liquor drinking, is very largely ‘state of mind. You will see a fellow paw over a box of seeking one that is without ts. You will see him ntedly admire the long white ash, and, if the wrapper is and light colored, you'll likely hear him talk of the 's mildness. And there may not be 5 per cent of to- in the whole cigar. Maybe you remember that recent analysis of a well known cigaret tobacco as being rgely dried grass. The consumption of it has increased and Satisfaction of the smokers is as great as if the stuff had declared to be 105 per cent fine tobacco. ; Ge ls and Some Men @ great ship’s wake flew a flock of gulls, now soaring aloft, anon swooping to seize a bit of garbage. Mile after mile they pened the ship, shrieking, soaring hting over a piece of spoil. For every one that tired of ig quest and withdrew to rest on the water, two with ravenous appetites seemed to join in the chase times the whir of their flapping wings and the chorus their raucous screams made a din eclipsing the noise of the ship’s propsllers. And all they got for their strident effort was an occasional from the kitchen.
