A man who knows mankind ,and the world well, writes: "I know, from observation and experi ence that the vat majority of married men will not hesitate to flirt, or even enter Into a closer relation with any comely woman who fives t h m en eourase ment, and this des pite the fart that they love their jvlvce. ' "I know that many good men aro di vorced on statutory grounds while still loving their wives. Rut a good woman, married to a man she loves, will re main faithful to him and never even think of anpther man with unlawful thoughts, A good man, on the contrary, will 'site up' every pretty and attractive woman he sees with undisguised ad miration, and will often enter Into an Affair with her, taking a chance of being found out, even though he knows the dis covery may break up his home and ruin his life. "What Is the 'why of this difference between the sexes?" I think that there are three answers to thin question. The first Is sentimental. No man ever loves a woman with the complete and absorbing passion with which a woman loves a man. No woman ever takes possession of the heart and soul and imagination of a man as a man often does of a woman. No wife Is ever literally all the world to her hus band, as many a man is the whole uni verse to his wife. There are plenty of women who never think a single thought tliat does not cen ter around their husbands; who begin every sentence with "John says," and who have not an Interest, an aspiration or an Idea that does not focus on him. There are no such men. Even the most devoted husband must think about his business and Ms ambitions. He dare not bore other men talking about his wlfo as she bores other women talking about' her husband. He has amusement and Interests In which she has no part. All the circumstances of life tend to concentrate a woman's gase on her hUBband, while his eyes are left free to roam. T begin with, then, men are less faith ful to their wives than their wives are to them because they are less capable of a luprcme devotion; and also, to be per fectly truthful, because they sre more subjected to temptation. The second reason why men who really love their wives are still ever ready to follow any fluttering petticoat, however great the risk, is, as William Dean Howells once aptly said. "Because, after 6,000 years of civilisation, men are still imperfectly monogomous." No woman is unfaithful to her hus band as long iik she has one particle of affection for him in her heart. When she breaks her marriage vow there is treachery In her soul against her hus hand: but a man may be faithless in the flesh to his wife, and yet hold her In his heart as in a rhrlne, and be strain ng every nerve and muscle to surround her safe and sheltered from the hardships of life. In n way, wemen do sense this dimly. That is why they forgive so often when their husbands stray off of the straight and narrow path, and why they shut their eyes to so many things that they do not want to see. As long as a man Is kind and tender to his wife and agree able at home, his wife recognises that he is true to her in spirit. however his feet may wander, and she seldom feels called upon to take her troubles to the divorce court. The third reason why men are less faithful to thlr wives than their wive are to them may be found in the simple fact that wives condone their husbands' Immorality, while husbands do not con done their wives. Men have done their moral duty by women far better than women have done their moral duty by men. A girl knows that before a man marries her he Is going to look Into her record, and that It must be spotless, or he will not have her for his wife. A wife know that she must walk as straight as a string, else her husband will divorce her and take her children from her. Therefore women as a sex are virtuous. On the other hand, no girl dares look Into her prospective husband's record. Few wives but find it the part of wisdom to be blind, and convention permits a man to indulgo his Impulses unrebuked and do the things that he would divorce and disgrace his wife for doing. What Is the remedy for this? Almighty wisdom alone knows. The growing num ber of self-supporting women Is going to help some, because the' woman who -does not need to marry for a home can afford to be much more particular about the morals of a man she marries than oould the girl to whom any sort of a husband who has a meal ticket was a godsend. Nor will the wife who has a good trade to which she ran turn stand for the phil andering on her. husband's part that the helpless and rV pendent wife has had to stand for the sake of food and shelter. The real refrrm. however, rfnust come among men themselves In their growing sense of the sscredness of the marriage relationship and of an equal loyalty be tween the sexes, and tn the struggle of the man himself to hold In leash the brute that Is within him. How to Make Friends By ANN L1SLK. Here to a little letter from "A Lonly Girl." I think she voices the sorrow of many many lonely girls from sea to sea and from continent to continent.

NELL BRINKLEY. s jrJjssw- i Neutrality Does Not Imply Timid Silence By ELBERT IITBBUin. About this time tho word "neutrality" seems to be much In exldence. It Is well to remember that there aro three kinds of neutrality. There Is the neutrality of thought, the !;; of ex pression and the t utrulity of action. For Instance, we have spoken of the violation of Bel gium's neutrality. And by this no one ever had In mind the thoughts or opinions, spoken or written. by the people of Oermany. France or England concerning Belgulm. The violation of Belgium's neutral ity could only pos sibly proceed front one thing, and that was the Invasion of the country by nn armed force. Thomas Jefferson once and forever , settled, aa far as America Is concerned. the question of what constitutes treason. Treason does not consist In what you think, or what you say, or what you write, or what you print. Treason consists In taking up arms against your country or In giving tangible aid' to the enemy. It Is right and proper that all of thn people should be allowed to think for themselves. If for diplomatic reasons an editor does not rare to express his full opinion, he certainly Is not obllgid to. It Is eminently right and proper that ' the people of America should have thoughts concerning the war situation In Europe. And thoughts of sane men and wemen are bound to form in opinions. Also It is cmlnentty right and proper that the . people should express them selves In reference to the situation. When a newspaper or magaslna criti cises either one aide or the other it la not guilty of a breach of neutrality. A violation of neutrality could only occur when the editor proceeds to supply arms to his favorite side or lead aa armed force against the other. Through the expression of our Ideas and through mutual discussion we vill arrive at the truth, If ever. Eternal vigilance Is the price of lib arty. And it is the privilege as well aa the duty of a tree people to mentally take Bids In any great struggle. Unless we have this privilege, liberty is a by-word and freedom a pleasantry. One reason especially why - we should have full, free and open discussion of tho war proposition In America is because publlo opinion will finally, fix the ad justment when this war is ended. It will then be neoessary to establish, new boundary lines, and power must flow to those who will not misuse it The interests of all the people involved -f the women, the children, the old aa well aa the strong and valiant must be Conserved, preserved and protected as much as possible against a reoccurrence of this rightful tragedy. If the Zeitgeist of the world decides that militarism is a menace, then inter national disarmament must come. No such thing as a. world federation or a United Ptsles of tlie World can ever be brought about save through the free and full and frank discussion by the peo ple of all political problems. Therefore we do well to allow every one In America to state the case as he sees It, without let or hindrance. ' This was the spirit or 1770. And 1776 really had Its rise In England In the days of the Pitts, Edmund Burke and Charles Fox. The spirit of Benjamin Franklin, Bam Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Palne, John Randolph and Patrick Henry still abides, and their souls go marching on. Does Time Really Pass Away?
