When Madame Roelka Schwimmer, well known author and lecturer, applied to Judge Carpenter, for her final cltisenshlp papers, the Judge, knowing that she waa an atheist and a pacifist, asked her this question: "If yon were a nurse, caring for a wounded soldier, and observed an armed enemy approaching, would yon take np a pistol and shoot the enemyT" Madame Schwlmmer replied, "No. She added that she would warn the "wounded American soldier" of his danger, and that she would throw herself on the "armed enemy approaching" In an attempt to disarm him. "I would not kill a man even If he tried to kill me, she said.- - Judge Carpen- Dr. Frederick Adams Woods, formerly professor of Molo$y at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, wno nas made a survey. of graduates of this college, says that 25.6 per cent of the parents with four or more children in the class of. 1894 were listed In Whos Who,- - while the percentage of the unmarried ao represented was only 6.8.

WESTON VERNON When Colonel Theodore Roosevelt delivered his notorious Sha- t. dow of Tammany masterpiece of mudslinging at the recent New York state Republican convention he apparently forgot the old admonition to. people who live in "glass houses. But, some of the newspapers of the country have jarred the colonels memory on the subject rather severely. Among these is the Raleigh "News and Observer, which is quoted in the Literary Digest to this effect: ."lie was appointed to office by Ilarding, whose record is one that saddens his most forgiving friend. He was closely connected officially with Fall and Dcnby and Daugherty, faithless cabinet officials; with Forbes, now in the penitentiary for corruption in the Veterans bureau; and other officials who brought disgrace to the Harding administration. While Sinclair was grabbing the naval oil reserve, Colonel Roosevelt was assistant secretary of the navy and his brother was employed by Sinclair. He did not profit by the lease, and Mr. Denby took all the blame, but if he had possessed the stuff of his father, he would have cried out against the lease, and prevented the wrong, or resigned from the crooked administration. For further good measure the St. Louis is quoted as saying: ."Mr. Roosevelt ought to be something of an authority on corruption; he had exceptional opportunity to watch perform. He was Assistant secretary of the navy in the days 'when the Ohio gang was making Boss Tweeds reign look like a mere pilfering episode. The Missouri daily 'holds no brief for Tammany, but it does think that the charge of corruption from one of the Ohio gangs messenger boys is a choice bit of precocious gall. Post-Dispat- ch Mrs. Weston Vernon, Democratic national committeewoman from Utah, left Thursday for New York and Washington on political and personal business. While in the east Mrs. Vernon expects to take np many matters pertaining to the coming campaign, especially with reference to womens activities, and also to visit her son, Weston Vernon, Jr., who Is secretary to Senator William H. King. After Thoughts on the Primary Election. While the primary election In Salt Lake City did not accomplish the end which many wished, that of putting a woman on the ticket. It did show convincingly that the power of a competent woman la not to be scoffed at. The psychological effect of a womans presence In the campaign has been particularly Interesting, and after listening to comments, one cannot help making some observations concerning the difference In attitude of men and women toward post-electio- voting. Dod Riter, one of the Sevens candidates for city commissioner, says that, if elected, he will "properly supervise the present automobile joy riding at the expense of the taxpayers. Does this mean that Mr. Riter, if elected, will send an official city chaperone with all jobholders joyriding on municipal gasoline! and would the city furnish the gas and oil for the chaperone, too! Why not abolish joyriding at city expense altogether ,and save the gas otherwise used by both, the joyrider and the chaperone! groundless. Women voters are not entirely free from either of these faults, being still apt to vote as their husbands direct, which after all la their greatest fault. Our observation la that If and when women do feel competent to make an Independent choice, they vote conscientiously for the person who to them most perfectly fits the office sought. Our greatest objective then Is to hasten the day when every woman will study, think and vote for herself. TELL IT TO THE MARINES Mrs. Alexander Returns From Eastern Visit. In commenting on the necent speech of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt wnlen waa recently given In New York City, the Literary Digest of October 28 reports that tbe National Republican committee la to disseminate over tbe country, and especially In the West, copies of that speech in order to educate the Western Democratic women. We are sure that Democratic women will read with Interest any and all material which tbe Republicans may he ao kind as to furnish. Our educar tion would not be complete If we did not learn that such bias and narrowmindedness exists In the world aa that displayed by Colonel Roosevelt In this same speech.' We would add for the benefit of these same women. Get the speech and read It for yourself. It has been condemned by the National Republican committee for use In tbe East, because It strikes too near to the roots of evil In their own party. We recommend the article in tbe Digest of October 22. Bombay Women Set Up Precedent. Two Bombay women, gracruatea of the University of Bombay, India, have started a monthly magailne known aa the Housewife, which alma at teaching girls how to be successful housewives. The Best Age to Marry. According to a study of Philadelphia marriages by two students of Bryn Mawr college, marriages seem most likely to be successful If the groan Is about 29 and the bride about 24. A difference of four years In the grooms age and of two years In the hrldea But If cuts very little figure. the bride is under 21 or tbe groom under 24, the chances for happiness are much less. .
