I—TUESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1922 PAGE FOUR THE PUEBLO CHIEFTAIN ESTABLISHED 1868 Published Every Mornin? In the Year By THE CHIEFTAIN PRINTING COMPANY G. G. WITHERS, President and Business Manager WALTER LAWSON WILDER, Editor VOLUME LXXXIX, No. 263 Entered as Second Class Matter at the Poatofflce at Pueblo, Colorado Transportation Gold Bricks “The Committee of Forty-Eight,” one of many organizations now engaged in saving the country from New York headquarters, declares itsclt' to be in favor of “a publicly owned transportation system which can be depended upon to furnish quick deliveries ut mini mum freights.’’ The Committee of Forty-Eight might just as sens ibly declare itself in favor of a publicly owned cow that would give a hundred gallons of milk duily, or a publicly owned horse that would draw a load of a hundred tons. War time experience was strong evidence that a publicly owned transportation system would be im mensely more costly and that its service would be immeasurably poorer than that of a transportation sys tem owned bv priv&to capital and operated by practical railroad men on strictly business principles. Tho Committee of Forty-Eight, apparently, is a branch of the general present effort to extend the field of politics. The promoters of the new Liberal party ■re willing to promise anything to anybody. -They would give higher wages to the workers, lower rates and better service to the public, and all they ask in return is the opportunity to establish themselves and their political friends in positions where they can plunder the taxpayers, blackmail the capitalists, exploit tho wage earners, and make government the instrument of their own selfish greed and ambition. Some people are going to be buncoed by present political gold brick artista, just as some people wore buncoed by similar “liberal” movements in the past. But the safety of the nation rests in the probability that the majority of the people, now as then, cannot be fooled in that way. Selfish Interests and General Good To some observers the world of human activities is a world of strife. Selfishness seems to be the main spring of human action. Justice is never reached, and near-justice is established in the best of our laws, insti tutions and customs only as a result of a compromise of conflicting interests, the terms of the compromise being decided by the strength and the shrewdness of the competitors in forwarding their oww interests. There is much evidence to bo found in support of this view of current events. Each group appears to be striving for its own interest and to be regardless of tjie interests of others. The same thing may be said of rile groups that are determined by locality rather than bv class interests. It may almost be said that every individual is striving to sene an individual inter est, and that he is influenced more by individual benefit than lie i> by group benefit, and by group benefit more thnn by community benefit. Yet it is a very clearly established principle of political science that the benefit of the community ns a whole is not only sui>erior to that of any group or of any individual, but also that the welfare of the indi QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Any reader can get the aa saer to any quntlon by writing The Chieftain Information Bn* reau.

R A During the period 1906-1910. the average yearly consumption of sugar p«r a pita In the United Plates. was NOOZIE vicinal or of tho group can only be served in the highest degree by serving the interests of the whole community. As a matter of practical politics it is perhaps too much to expect that busy men and women fhall consider public measures with the broad vision of the statesman. Each particular kind of worker considers the interests of himself and of his fellow workers in his own line, and this is -true alike of the mechanic, tho clerk, the farmer, the miner, the business man, and the worker in every other line. And each believes sincerely and often truly that his particular line is being discrim inated against in the general scheme of things, and he also thinks that a government of justice would be one that would be run by men of his own kind for the bene ftit of men of his own kind. Some observers have a different view. They believe that the true principle is to work for the interest of the community as a whole, and that the interest of every class, group or person is best served, when the welfare of each is subordinated to the welfare of all. Under such a view it is just ns much injustice for any person op any group to have more than its just reward as it is for nnv one of them to have less than its righful share. The nation needs more leaders who take the broad view. It needs more men and wquien who support by their votes statesmen who work for the general good, and who are not misled by demagogues who make tlicir appeals to selfish personal and class interests. The Chieftain is in receipt of a printed pamphlet entitled “Outlawry of War,” which is worthy of more than passing attention, but not for the*reason desired by its author. For instead of being n demonstration of the method by which war may bo outlawed, and thereby abolished, it shows verv plainly that no such method is adequate for the solunon of the world’s greatest and most pressing problem. In the second paragraph of the author’s “Plan to Outlaw* War” it is proposed that “War between nations shall be declared to be a public crime, punishable by the law of nations.’’ Outlawry, then, to be effective, must involve punishment. And punishment can be Applied against a recalcitrant outlaw only by force. Forcible punishment, applied by one or more nations against another, is war, and it is nothing else. War then is to be made impossible thru an inter national law providing that if any nation makes war, it shall he warred against. In the following analysis of the plan, section l declares: “There are hut two ways of compelling settlement of disputes, whether intranational or inter national: one is by force and the other is by law.” That is not true. There is only one way of compelling anything, and that is by force. Law docs not compel anything. It says what shall or shall not be done, and pro vides the means and the methods for the use of force to punish those who disobey its mandates. International law could never do more than punish by force those who violate its commands; it could never. compel obedience on the part of those who chose to war against its authority. The Versailles conference quickly found itself disillusioned of the idea that war can be outlawed, and was confronted with the stem necessity of providing the means of waging war against those who refused to accept the mandates of the League of Nations. L'pon that rock the splendid but visionary structure was wrecked, and the >arac result will come to every plan thnt is based upon the idea that lawbrenking can be prevented by law, or that lawbrcaking ran be punished by anything thnt is not supported by force, actual or imminent.

THE CITY OF SINGLE WOMEN BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN i WASHINGTON. D. C.. Jan. 28. A | new and Interesting distinction has been conferred upon tho Capital of the United Staten by the last census. It j has been found that there is a larger proportion of unmaried women in the District of Columbia than In any of the state*, and a much larger pro portion than in most of the states. More than half of the females in the District of Columbiu over IB years' of age—s 3 per cent to be exact —are unmarried. The state of Massachu setts comes next in percentage of' female single blessedness with 46.8 per rent. The precentage of married women rises ns you go West, until in | Wyoming TO R per rent of all the women who have passed 16 have hus-. bands. There has been a great deal written I of late years about the tendency of women not to marry. Some contend that they don't marry because they can't, and others assert that they don't marry because they prefer to stay single. Well, here t* a chance for some social Investigator to study tho single woman In her favorite American haunt. Incidentally, the women here come from all parts of the United State*, and are of all class es. types, and ages. It would be a moat interesting enterprise to study them. Before outlining ita possibili ties. let us see what the statistics ■how about marriage In general. It ahows that the proportion of married people In the total population ha* increased slightly but steadily since ISIO. This, according to the bureau itself. Is more an Illustration of the unreliability of at&tistir* than of anything else They gay this ap parent gain is due to the fact that the proportion of people ;v*r 13 and under 25 years of age In tha total population has decreased about 6 per cent. Lwvr it to the statistician* what this has to do with the matter The implication is that the proportion of people who marry remains about the same. The proportion of those who have been divorced and have not remurried shows u small but steady gain In the agricultural West, the proportion of married people la gen erally larger than In the industrial East. The larger proportion of mar ried women in acme of the western states Is due to the fact that there are more men out there in proportion to the women, but in some of the east ern states there is a smaller propor- ! tlon of married men as well ns of married women Tn e word, it seems truo that in Industrial centers where Jobs are to be had. people are less likely to marry than in agricultural regions Tn this connection It should be remembered thnf in the East are great numbers of immigrants who ar rive. married, some bringing their wives and some leaving them behind A study of the native stock alone would In all probability show a larger percentage r.f unmarried persona In the industrial regions ns compared with the agricultural. WHY THEY REFAIN What la the reason for this falling off of marriage In tho Industrial cent ers? Doubtless on© reason Is found in tho circumstances of tho man. It is far easier to support n wife on a farm than In a city. A farmer liter ally must have a wife, and she is often one i f th‘* hardest-working and most useful domestic animals on the place. The city man ran get along a good deal better without a wife. He can get his meals at cafes, he can find people tc* darn his socks and do his. laundry work and clean up his room. Also he i ,m find feminine companion-• ship outside of marriage a good deal njoi e easily in .t largo city than in a rural community. Hence the cltv map tends to pa>-s up marriage more often than the country dweller. But tin* refusal is not all on the man's side. If the country man needs a wife, the country woman has liter ally no occupation open to her except marriage. The city woman can got; a job. Tho question is whether she really, in any considerable number of cases, takes the Job from choice, or docs she generally do so from neces sity. - There Is evidently n small but genuine revolt against matrimony tn tho larger rltlc* of ihe country. The actual proportion of married persons has declined little if any so'far. hut this, »s pointed out above, is partly j flue to the always-married Immigrants pouring into those cities where the refusal of inarrlage is most common, ind so off-setting it as far as figures show. Then, too, divorce is on the increase. In a word, more people stay I out of marriage and more people get out Ilian formerly. Thu Interesting question is whether this revolt is i chiefly feminine or chiefly masculine. Is it due chiefly to an increase of women who prefer to be free or to an Increase of men who do not care to, support a wife? THE WASHINGTON SPINSTER The case "f Washington, tho city of | single women, would seem to tv nn j argument for the view that the women arc 'n revolt against marriage. It is j I certain that women come to Washing ton from u!J parts of tin 1 untry f ,,r the purpose of getting jobs. It Is also certain tlyit Washington in known to women in all parts of the country as i place where husband-hunting is e*- ■ ceedlngly poor. This is duo In pare to the large relative proportion of women in the population, and also in part to the fact thaftho types of men who make good husbands are not found. The ideal husband is the pros perous business man. Thorn is very little husincsK In Washington The place Is populated by (;overnment clerks, politicians, nnd newspaper men. who are three of tho most im pecunious types on earth. In fact. | personable men are ho f*»w in Wash ington that any man with a clean face and a <lrc*n suit can get Into society as fas us he is willing to go. There Is a whole tribe here known as cake raters who subsist largely by going out to tea. lunch and dinner. These young gentlemen have established the curious but useful custom of letting the ladles pay the checks at cafes and other such places where a tariff is churgej for the entertainment. The point is that women certainly, do not come here for the purpose of finding husbands Most of them know in advance that game of that kind is exceedingly scarce nnd wary nnd rather lean when caught, and those who do not know it in advance find it out soon after their arrival. Yet they come in droves and hang onto their Jobs with that tenacity for which Gov ernment offlce-holders-are famous Thousands of them came during the war. and when the cutting down of office force began to take (dace after the armistice, there was much weep ing and gnashing of teeth among the fair ones who had come here to serve their country in her hour <*f need One and nil. they seemed to hate going back home. It is not hard to understand why they like Washington. They have Jobs which are not very hard and give them the necessities of life. Usually they do not live in well chaperoned hoarding houses, but club together and rent flats They h.tve a month of vacation a year. They enjoy a measure of freedom and Independence m ARE YOU SURE THAT ® p YOU GET OENUDTE £ B canon city lump m ■ NO DOUBT ABOUT IT £ IF YOU ORDER ™ ■ CHANDLER CANON jK/SESMt . ■ the LABEL 18 YOUR 5 MOUNTAIN ICE AND COAL COMPANY* « Pho "« 34 51t ELIZABETH | CLOSING OUT Brtrinninp tomorrow (Monday) morning we will ]»lncc on sale our entire stork of high prn«le TOOLS, SAWS, HARDWARE AI cost nn.l le»s.
