endless) monopoly of supplying the
world with precious babies, through-
the countless thousands of Its years of
existence, la due at the Spanish capl

The Morality of Americans.
By IUDW1C HILDA, Bmlntnt Ccrmin Dramttlat and Po(.
AlKRICA is a fur more moral country tliuu Gormany. It
iHiuoationtu system is wjuul to tlio boat of I'luropo. In wom
en's colleges the United States excels, and THE AMERI
CAN WOMAN LEADS THE WOULD. German par
ents might well semi their daughters to America for higher education,
and the spirit they would bring buck would do Germany mueh good.
The MORAL LIFE of the. American people is on a higher plane
than that of Germany. Without a question the life of the young peo
ple is purer, the demeanor of men among themselves less frivolous.
One sees leas of tiee on the streets of tho large cities than on those of
our own.
n
The belief that tho American woman lords it over tho sterner sex,
aa Idea prevalent in Europo, is unfounded. Conditions there provide
for meeting more on an equal footing rather than have the one lord
it over the other. Aa a roault of tho mingling of the sexes from early
childhood American marriages, on the whole, are happier, for the
man and the woman HAVE LEARNED TO UNDERSTAND
THEMSELVES and better know the shortcomings of the other and
the better aide as well. There a young couple has years in which to
pass judgment on the question of marriage, while in Germany the
daughter is virtually THROWN UPON THE MARKET by her
parents before she has learned anything about tho opposite sex.
ONI RESULT Of THE AMIPMCAN CONDITION It THAT CI
UBACY IS NOT LOOKED UPON BY AMERICAN WOMEN AS SOME.
THING TO BE DREADED. SINGLE WOMEN ARE LOOKED UPON
WITH EQUAL RESPECT , AND HONOR TO THOSE SHOWN THEIR
MARRIED SISTERS.

sas:
Between ten and eleven last night
a shot rang out from the depot of
the Missouri Pacific Railroad and
aroused the proprietor of the hotel
nearby. Upon Investigation It was
found that Operator Klrchoff had been
murdered In cold blood by some un
known persons. The body was found
partly In the office and partly In the
waiting room. The hotel man who
discovered the body at once notified
the day agent and he came to the
scene but no clew could be found to
the murderer. It Is thought robbery
was the motive, but that the murder
ers were frightened away by the quick
response to the shot.
