THREE TYPES OF WOMEN
The old epigrammatist was all wrong.
It Isn't lore that makes the world go
round. It's woman.
But she makes it go rouud at differ
ent speeds and sometimes, such is the
perversity of the sex, she whirls it
backward.
None of the three women whose in
fluence is now to be noted did this, but
one, at least, is trying to steer a man in
a way that doesn't entirely appeal to the
level-headed. Her name is, or rather
was. Hazel Campbell. Now she is the
aeventeen-year-old w ife of WiUiau* U.
Hearne, the rich corporation lawyer of
Wheeling, W. Va. She's an ambitious
little girl and, enfranchised by mar
riage from shoe-top snirts, she sighs for
tht? train gowns of high society. Noth
ing but the best will suit herjso she is
egging her aged husband on to run for
governor of his state She wishes to
be the first lady of West Virginia.
The sentimentally incline.! who see a
"sweet romance'' in her ambitions
don't take heed of the hard-beaded pol
iticians who wish a political issue
greater than a bread and-butter school
girl's Laura-Jean-Libby ambitions.
And tbey fail entirely in ignoring the
desires of the older women. When
these permit a chit of a girl to rule
them socially, feminine human nature
will be found different in West Virginia
from what it is in other parts of the
land.
Then there's the grandmother who
married her grandson to save a fortune
for him. She was the first sweetheart
of the present groom, Tom Hugh Ali
son, of Munlius. Y. When his
wealthy grandfather disinherited him
because he owned racing horses and
began to "shine up to" her, she made
the young fellow keep in the back
ground. She was only seventeen, .oo,
but she was wilier than the West Vir
ginia girl. Her bet was not a 1,000 to 1
shot. The odds were all in her favor.
She married the grandfather, six years
ago. and when he died, last year, still
testy at his grandson, the wife got all
the money. Now she has weeded her
ex-fiance and present grandson, and the
estate goes where it wasn't intended.
These women took their turn at the
crank, though, for material purposes.
To sit in the seats of the mighty, to
have the purse of Fortunatus, is not, in
the final analysis of things, of supreme
importance. To lead a man in these di
rections d jes not make for the glorifi
cation of the sex. Many of us may
think such aims distinctly ignoble.
But we all lake off our hats and bow
with sincere reverence to the woman
who helps a man to save his soul.
That's just what Mrs. John W. Maher,
of Worcester, Mass., who was Clara
Cecelia Leach until last Tuesday, is
starting in to do. Maher was one of
the men who try the gel-rich-quick
route, to tbcir disaster. He speculated
and embezzled. He went to prison for
four years, and now that his term is out
has gone back to Worcester to live
doffn the past and make a new future.
Miss Leach, wealthy and religious,
waited for h<s release and then married
him. Together they are going to re
habilitate Maher,
Isn't this better than trying to stand
at the head of the receiving line or
thwarting the wishes o( an old man in
the disposition of his own money ?
ALASKA GOAL LAWS
The government is chartering a
large number of foreign vessels and
?ending out to the Pacific for the
use of its battleship flset many tons of
coal: while in Alaska, in close prox
imity to tide water, are thousands of
acres of tine coal lands, the coal of
which, on laboratory tests, has proved
fnlly equal to the best Pocahontas, the
standard coal for naval use in the
country. But the coal lands of Alaska
are not as yet developed. They are
not developed because, of one thing, a
ioosiderfble >hare of them are under
r>?ervation, the reservations having
been made because the administration
does not approve of coal lands passing
Into private ownership, aud therefore
has concluded that congress was
improvident in passing laws for that
purpose, and that such laws should be
rendered inoperative. For another
thing, the interpretation put on the ex
istlng laws by the department of th?
interior is ?uob, as Garfield himself
has said, as to rend:r a man who under
takes to acquire coal lands snflicient
to pay for opening a mine thereon sub
ject to criminal prosecution by the gov
ernment, and Mr. Garfield has given it
to be distinctly understood that crim
inal prosecution* will follow in cose
any such attempts are made.
The department holds, in abort, that
any m&irwho undertakes to sell any
coal lrnds which he has purchased
under the coal land laws is guilty of a
criminal offense, and that both he and
the purchaser from him should be in
dicted and imprisoned for so doing.
What congress should do at its next
session, in order to permit tho coal
resources of Alaska to be developed, is
to pass legislation sufficiently defiolte
acj certain in its language that it may
not be annulled by executive action
or render any one who seeks to take
legitimate advantage of it subject to
prosecution. The owners of patent
coal lands should have the right to
sell them or to put them into a corpo
ration in which he is one of the stock
holders, or do anything with them, in
short, which will facilitate their de
velopment and the supplying of the
market with coal which is imperative
ly needed, without executive interfer
ence, so long as he complied literally
and exactly with the law, in its intent
and meaning.
Congress attempted to provide a
manner in which coal lands In Alaska
could be entered and developed. The
action of congress has been practical lv
annulled, since it was taken, and tin
coal fields of Alaska yet await develop
ment. Had they been developed, as
congress anticipated that ther would
be, there would have been no further
fear of coal shortago on the l\?c!tk
coast; coal users would have so >red
all needed for domestic consumption at
a very much lower price than they cuu
now, and the governmentjwouk' have
beea enabled to save the hundreds of
thousands of dollars which it will cost
to tend coal for naval use around the
Horn from the Atlantic, If congress
amends the coal land laws applicable in
Alaska, in the manner suggested, no
such conditions will ever again be
found on this coast.? Posl-Intelli~
gcncer.
STILL A QUESTION OF MEN
Secretary Cortelyou, after reaching
the scene of trouble iu New York, the
other day, made a statement for publi
cation in which he declared that the
financial situation was mainly a ques
tion of men. Where bad men had been
permitted to gain control of great banks
there was danger and disaster. Else
where there was nothing serious
ly wrong.
Mr. Cortelyou hit a Urge and ugly
nail on the head. It is true that the
controlling factor in business is still the
man in power. It is not the fads of
the day in commerce and industry. It
is not trusts. It it not railroads. It is
certainly not the attitude of the nation
al government towards mon in high pla
ces who abuse their authority. The real
source of trouble, present and possible,
is the weaknesses, follies and crimes of
men unequal to and untrue to their
trusts.
Nothing can guard against trouble
which comes as the fruit of personal
dishonesty or neglect of duty. It is
certain to follow the choice of unsafe
and unfit men for places of powtr and
responsibility. That truth is often for^
gotten in the exhilaration of great gen
eral prosperity. It seems easy to dis
regard old maxims whlcQ embody the
condensed wisdom of centurics when
fortunes are made over night in the
stock market and everything is boom
ing. Rut the ancient law holds, never
theless. When the seed of folly wad
ruin is sown the crop will be ripened in
due time.
A chcer 'ul certainty of the present
situation is the elimination of many
persons holding much authority in the
business world but altogether unworthy
of their responsibilities.
The lord mayor of London gets $50,
000 a year. For the job of wearing the
clothes they rig a lord mayor io, the
salary is small.
I csro not where I'm going to,
I care not whenoe I camo;
I care not whether good report
Or evil marks my name.
I only -care to have today
Care-freo. I fear not sorrow.
I'll wasto no worry on the past,
And none upon the morrow.
A preacher at the Congregational
oonferenoe at Salem, said be would
rather have his daughter marry a man
worth a million and without a cent
than to marry a man with a million
and not worth a c:nt. Very jjood.
But it would be r&tber nice to marry
a mat' with a million and worth it. -Or
