Men's hats come off, as it were, automatically in re sponse to a bow from a woman; as a rule they rise auto —, matically (outside of street cars, editorial offices and a few other places) when a woman is seen standing; without hesitation they give her precedence. They are supposed .JHIT to be reserved in speech and act before her, to avoid gossip Iff and scandal when with her. These things have been drilled \II into them; they expect to do them, and everyone else mmtmmmJ expects them to. Are there any parallel obligations for women; generally imcumbent, generally demanded? Rut "demanded" is a harsh word to employ in speaking of members of the gentler sex, and unfit. They are not to be coerced; if they please to be polite, man must humbly and gratefully accept their compaisance; if their attitude be the opposite, there seems little to be done. When a talkative lady desires to free her mind in a man's hearing In regard to a friend of his, he must not hint that she is doing anything discourteous or disagreeable. When she takes it upon herself, for some whim or other, openly to refuse recognition to an acquaintance, nothing should be said; tradition allows her to know whom she will. When she is in a hurry—and whoever saw a woman when she wasn't in a hurry— of course there is no reason why she should step into line at box-office or railway agent's window; by right of her womanhood she pushes ahead. When man is meekly acting as escort to fair lady he should, with all meekness, allow her to sweep space with her long skirts and then glare at any unlucky wight that may tread thereupon. When the culmina tion of play or opera approaches he should, with all haste, assist her in getting into the rustling wrap and nodding plume, and offer 110 sugges ton —for suggestion is criticism —that there are others, a few people who may care for the finale. Or, if she be one "that waits until the crowd goes," he should not proffer any advice about rising so those farther down the row may reach the aisle, and incidentally their trains. No, for women there are no fixed laws in regard to taking thought for others. Manners, for her, is a matter of individual pleasure. Whip Needed By PROF. HENRY L.

In forbidding corporal punishment you are asking of B .fl teachers what you ask of no government on earth—that they ■ W-jW rule without power. You can try moral suasion on a hoodlum five days in the week and forty weeks in the year, and, at the end of the year he'll still be a hoodlum. Of what power is a threat to expel a pupil when what he wants most is to be expelled? "Darn you, you dassent touch me," is what they tell their teachers. Three things are necessary if we would cure the bandit evil—estab lishment of free kindergartens, enforcement of the truant laws and resto ration, to principals at least, of the power of corporal punishment. One - oman cannot expect to rule fifty-four bovs from the streets unless she nave some authority to back her up. The teachers of Chi cago cannot make honest men of street hoodlums unless the power of corporal punishment is restored to them. This moral suasion idea is too theoretical to work—it is mere weak sentimentality. Irue Patr By WOODROW WILSON, President of Princeton University.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, 1904. HOT TIME OUT WEST. United Statss Senator Indicted by Federal Grand Jury. Charged wltli TriifllckiuK In the Ap pointment of roNtmuNtcru—Ac ruhctl Official Drniea Claim* of ilia Kueuile*. When the federal grand Jury sitting at Omaha returned three indictments on November 10 against United States Senator Charles H. Dietrich, of Nebras ka, charged with trafficking in the ap pointment of postmasters, it established a record which has never been equaled. Never before in the history of the coun try has a United States senator been officially accused of selling government positions. The specific charge in this case was that Senator Dietrich had accepted a bribe in connection with the appoint ment of Jacob Fisher as postmaster at Hastings, Neb., and also with conspir ing against the United States in connec tion with the same case. Humors began to be circulated more than a year ago that all was not right with Mr. Dietrich's appointments. It was said that Postmaster Fisher, of Hastings, had even complained that his appointment had cost BO much money that he could not afford to contribute to the regular campaign fund. Several other appointments in the South Platte country, which is Mr. Dietrich's recog nized district, were said to have been made for money. These rumors became so strong that they finally attracted the attention of the federal grand jury. The appoint ment of Jacob Fisher as postmaster at Hastings was the first case presented to the grand jury. The New York Herald says that evi dence before the grand jury was to this effect: Mr. Dietrich owned a building in Hastings which he wished to rent to the government for SI,BOO annually. He negotiated with the department on these terms, but the postmaster, llahn, re fused to approve the contract. Later the rental was lowered to $1,300 a year, after which Mr. Hahn approved and signed the agreement, with the addi tional proviso that Mr. Dietrich should provide the office furniture at his own expense. Jacob Fisher, who was an applicant for the post office, was informed that he could have the appointment provided he would purchase the post-office furniture, which must be left in the room on his CHARLES H. DIETRICH. iFlret United States Senator Ever Indicted by Grand Jury.) retirement from the office. He WHS alsc to pay Mr. Dietrich S2OO a year it it declared, as side rent for the building Leopold Hahn, the former postmaster, is said to have testified that Mr. Fisher also executed a note for $2,500 to Diet rich in further payment of the appoint ment. Fisher received the appointment. Since the Hastings investigation the appointments at Orleans, Alma, Ara pahoe, Fairbury and Wilsonville hav« been subjected to rigid examinations, and with the exception of the Alma case no votes have been taken by the jury. Eliott Lowe, a business and personal friend of Dietrich, has been inflicted for alleged conspiracy in connection with the appointment at Alma. Postmaster Mitchell, of Alma, has also been indicted for alleged conspiracy to defraud the government. Mr. Dietrich's rise from an Illinois farmer boy to a bank president and United States senator is a story of hard work, ability, courage and determina tion. Starting in life without a cent, he has pushed himself forward to his pres ent position of wealth and influence. He has been a retail dry goods clerk in Chicago, ordinary workman on a south ern plantation and a miner. It was while working in the mines of the Black Hills that he got his start in life by "striking it rich." Two years after Gen. Custer first en tered the "Hills" Mr. Dietrich was there, searching for gold. And when he found it he showed his good sense by leaving the mines forever and returning to civ ilization. Settling at Hastings, Neb., he invested in lands and organized the Ger man national bank, of which lie is the president. His lands increased in value and he grew wealthy. The country was settled by Germans, of whom Mr. Diet rich was leader. He entered politics. In 1900 ho was elected governor and one year later United Stales senator. Boculni? KM n Pine Art.
