DAILY EAST OREGONIAN, PENDLETON', OREGON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY-3. 1912. PAGE SEVEN" the metropolitan district would vote for a divorce from the rest of the state, it is doubtful If the residents of "up-state" would consent sine the state derives two-thirds or more of Its revenues from various taxes con tributed by th eclty. It Is pointed out by those behind the new move ment that the state of Manhattan would be th erlchest In the country and that only two others would have a larger population. The cost of running the city la at present $190, 000,000 and will soon pass the $200, 000,000 mark which of course is in excess of the governmental expenses of any of the. states. The new com monwealth would make a good showing In other respects than those of wealth and population too, for Its annual output In manufactures would be nearly $1,600,000,000 and Its com merce' would amount to nearly $2, 000,000,000 or more than half that of the whole nation. Incidentally Tammany Hall Is in favor of the new plan as most of its troubles as a po litical organization come from re volts originating In other parts of the state. BLAMES "WOMAN'S RIGIITS."

A higher conception of love and marriage exists In the United States than anywhere else In the world, and the proof lies in the increase in divorces. It is simply a strike of womanhood agai:st the old order of things. So thinks Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman, author of "Woman and Eco nomics" and "The Man-Made World," who has written a new article con cerning a topic on which she la rec ognized as an authority. "We in America," she says, "with our new conditions, our swift, rest less progressiveness, have developed new Ideals faster than the other lands. With us, love has been freer and so has grown nobler. Women have been freer, and so have grown wiser and stronger, and our ideals of married happiness are higher than in the earlier times, as is our exist ing standard of fulfillment." Europe's criticism of our national scandal of divorce is well founded, Mrs. Gilman thinks, but we have higher ideals of love and marriage than Europeans and so must have more divorces. "From a purely masculine point of , view early marriage was long con tinued the Ideal," she says. "The de sirable bride must be young and ten der, and so more malleable to .the hand that was to mold her. This old ideal has been in force quite too long, making the man the govern ing factor in marriage, with mother hood quite a subsidiary process. It is hard. Indeed, for us to face this great new thought, that wifehood is but a preliminary to motherhood, and that both 'lord' and 'lady cooperate to the' great end of parenthood." Ills Life Price of Cigar. Philadelphia. Trying to pick up a cigar that had dropped from his mouth cost Frank Smith his life at the 'Holmesburg Junction station of the Pennsylvania railroad.
