JARS NERVES OF TRUE WOMEN AND MEN. In a national convention of the Business Women's league in Denver the other day, Miss Louisa E. Hardin, president of the league, in the course of a speech, said: "Marriage is but an Incident in the life of a man, why should It not be so in the life of a woman?" That remark Jars very harshly on the nerves of true men and women. It shows that Miss Hardin does not much believe in the sincerity of men, else she never would say marriage is but an Incident, and it carries the idea, too, that in her judgment this world is not much more than a game at best, and women should play It for what it is worth, even in the sacred relation of marriage. It is' not much Improvement over Emma Goldman's marriage. She married a would-be murderer on an anarchist an-archist contract that they would try marriage for two years. If that suited them, they would make a new contract; If not, they would 'separate. We are afraid that that kind of a contract would not shock the president of the National Business Women's league to any great extent and that hence it will be Just as well if she never becomes the mother of any children.
