Bee: There are many married ' people,
which Is why this discussion going on In
The Sunday Bee on the "Marrtaire rela
tions" attracting to much attention.
It attracts the happily married aa well an
the discontented. Our marital relations
make up so much of our real life, a life
which consists of our eiperlences. our con
siderations and our expressions. Well may
It be discussed.
t shall not attempt tha relation of In
stances, but simply desire to call attention
to one fact, which Is to ma wonderful In
tta Import, a faet which answers the ques
tion: Does the husband or the wife lore
the other tnorst That fact Is our love

pshaw, that won't do, for that's the lovs
of a wife far a man who was not her hus
band, though ths most popular of all
woman lovs' songs and "My Willis's on
ths Stormy Be," and and ah! Now
count those wherein a man says ha- lores
a woman, and this newspaper column Is
dot larg snoogh to contain a list of them, j
Tremendous faot! Both man and woman
write songs and sing them, and they both
overwhelmingly choose the lore by a man
and almost Ignore lor by the woman.
The songs a people sing indicate what the
people are. Songs are accepted only as
they satisfy the sympathies, of the Indi
vidual singer. That nfnety-nlno people
sympathize with lore by a man where only
ons chooses lore by a wsman argues that
man loves and woman does not. Ths hus
band loves Ms wife: the wife does net lovs
her husband. That Is generally true, else
the voice of our sorgs is false. And how

DAKOTA CITT, Neb., Oct tha
Editor of The Bee; I have read tho arti
cles which appeared In Tho Sunday Bee,
under different headlines, citing tho wrongs
and Ills of the sexes In their social and
marital relations and It sounds very much
like children at play, discussing which is
tight and which la wrong. Before making
any remarks I would thank Edward
Black for his defense of womankind and
assure Mrs. Edwards we need not fear
for the future generation, or tho women
of this day, so long as they maintain the
standard of right human living.
There are a few aelftsh. Inconsiderate
women, but they are not tho rule and
there are man and men. X think It has
been conceded that ths stronger half of
tho race, physically. Is amenable to tho
refining influence of tho other. In tbs past
there was tho ' crafty and worldly am
. WUou. Madam de jtael, who by the ver
satility of her wit, received tho admiration
and homage of men. In marked contrast
to her Is tho Inspired Joan of Are, who
led armies of r.en to war, and shall wo
not say, whole nations were under her
spell T Tho the 'it of liberty and freedom
Inspired men . vrlto patriotlo songs, but
. they were notsso passionate, so memorable,
as those composed by the hearts of men
tor tho woman they loved.
Occasionally wo meet tho selfish, flip
pant man, but ho does not represent tho
majority, nor Is ho tho typo which repre
sents our American manhood. Tho Ameri
can men stand today the recognised type.
the world over, for paying tha highest
.tribute of respect to their women.
But I cannot sea that a discussion of
the virtues, complefty of nature, and an
vlronments of tho x will help us to a
solution. It Is evident that harmony does
not slways exist la tho home life; hence
this murmuring. Wo cannot say marriage
Is a failure, but wo can say too many
worldly, ambitious ones are made, where
the law of love does not enter In.
Alas It Is true that money Is at ths root
of all evil. Tho worth of men and women
Is estimated by their worldly possessions.
and not by what they are. Wo agree with
a prominent minister In Buffalo, K. T., who
aald: "Such marriages were a sin and the
- outgrowth of many social evils." However,
not all marriages come under this bead, for
In the commoner walka of life more true
marriages are made. 8 till wo hear ths
same discordant note.
"I married Jinn because X loved him,"
aid one little woman, "bidt be Is cold and
reserved In his manner now." How many
havo ths same experience T Perhaps no
woman can understand unless she nils bis
place. He goes out In the world as tha
' bread-winner. It la a big. cold place, with
many sharp corners, and ho grows hard
and matter-of-fact because of tho contact.
This Is often the means of his defense, snd
enables him to hold a place with the men of
his class. But he must not forget the
woman at home, who must cook, swoi-p.
dust, bake and sew from "morn till bed."
She needs hla love and praise. Just as he
needs a sweet consoler and a darner of
socks.
It Is safe to assume that much of tha
trouble arises from little misunderstand
ings. A woman may understand a man. but
he seldom. If ever, understands her. This
arises from natural causes. Jler nature Is
so cemplcx he nevrr knows where to make
the point of attack, or where to effect a
reconclllstlon. Of one thing he may feel
sure and that is her love for a bit of senti
ment or romance. John could tell Mary
after years of wedded life that he loved her,
and the old, old story would still seem new.
The women of today are self-sacrificing
and reliant, with a good lot of common
sense. With this combination they are able
to work out their own salvation, but will
not become so absorbed In self that' they
are Indifferent to the plaints-of men.

yesterday, and will continue ten or more

INCOME FIXES THE VALUE
Herr to Metersalae the Worth of ReeU
Preeerty Dekated-Oeverel Fae-
tors to Be Coaaldered.
At tho meeting of the Omaha Real Estate
exchange on Wednesday W. H. Thomas
spoke on "The Value of Real Estate." In
his remarks he said:
Economlo rent measures the superiority
of any location over the pooreet location
within a city. A prominent authority
based the normal vaiuea per front foot
for cities of l'.O.OOO population in the
year li.j as follows: Beet business prop
erty, l,?no to ll.tsno per front foot:
choice residence property, from $75 to fl&O
per frqnt foot. Vaiuea of buslnesa
property he based on the consideration
that each thousand of population adds from
fu to $16 to the front foot value of the
beat locations. We are inclined to accept
this rule as applying favorably to the cen
trally located retail property of the city of
Omaha, but if we accept the proposition
that choice residence property in cities of
luu.0"0 population is worth from $75 to fl&O
per front foot, we And that flrst-claas resi
dence lots In Omaha are very much under
the average. A partial explanation for this
may be found in the fact that Omaha con
tains a large area of ground convenient
and desirable for residence purposes. The
homes of the wealthier class of our people
have been fairly well distributed over a
considerable portion of the residence sec
tion of the city, thus retarding the growth
of a fashionable center. The present ten
dency towards the centralisation of the
wealthier class of cur citizens In the West
Faraam street district la increasing the
value of lota in that locality, aa the in
crease in residence values comes from
larger Individual fortunes and more of them
centrally located.
How to determine the value of real es
tate Is perhaps the most Interesting prob
lem with which the prospective investor
has to contend. It becomes a very
practical and pertinent one with the loan
agent in selecting safe security for the
funds of his clients and Is tho all-absorbing
question with those engaged in apprais
ing real estate for taxation. In this con
nection there are many points to be taken
into consideration: First by comparing
recent sales of adjoining or nearby prop
erties; second. Its economlo rent or Income-producing
power;, third, location;
fourth, the percentage of depreciation In
the Improvements ahould be deducted and
future depreciation considered: fifth, are
the Improvements suitable to the location?
The fact that a house and lot have Just
sold for a given price is certainly good
evidence of value, but before determining
the value of similar property on the same
street we must Inquire into the conditions
under which the sale waa effected. It may
have sold under circumstances that Im-
f el led the owner to sacrifice It for lees
haa It ought to command, say $4,000. A
sale of similar property in the same block
and fronting the same street may be made
at $6,500 to a party who desired the prop
erty for a speclrlo purpose. I assume of
course that in these cases tho improve
ments are of equal value.
The income-producing power of a prop
erty is ascertained by deducting from the
gross earnings of the land and buildings
all taxes, insurance, repairs and operating
(expenses. These should be averaged
through at number of years, say ten years.
The average annual net earnings capi
talised at per cent will give the value
on a ( per cent basis for tho years Included.
In determining value of property where
one Is not familiar with the cost of repairs
they must often be estimated. In this re
spect I find a very common error made In
underestimating the cost of repairs. The
error is oftener made in estimating repairs
on cheaply built houses occupied by a poor
olass of tenants than la first-class Improve
ments with desirable tenants. The per
centage of depreciation la much greater in
the former than In the latter, the rate
of depreciation In the former being In Xrame
bouses rrom )tl i per cent ana in me
latter from 1 to 2H per cent per annum and
In brick houses from 14 to XV, per cent In
the former ana 1 to per cent in the
latter. v
Referring to brick nouses reminds me
that more brick, mortar and cement should
be used in tho construction of bouses In
Omaha.
The slight addition to tne original cost
Is easily saved when the difference in cost
of repairs, painting, percentage of de
preciation ana ine me or useiuineas oi
brick or wooden buildings are considered.
FREDBICKSON FINED IN COURT)
Aatomobllo Mam is Foaaal Gallty of
Charge at AssaalttagT Small
Boy.
"Take your 2at off la court," remarked
Prosecuting; Attorney Lee to H. E.
Fredrlckson, and tho latter, who had Just
been fined US and costs for assaulting a
small boy with aa automobile, October x
complied.
The charge against Mr. Fredrlckson was
not for fast driving of an automobile, but
for tho assault oa tho person of a little
boy named Sammy Brown, who had at
tempted to cross tho street near tho corner
of Sixteenth on Davenport 1n front of
Fredrickson's machine and had been run
down. Tho little fellow escaped with
slight Injuries, but had hls feelings
severely hurt and several spectators, who
were very much concerned for tho safety
of tho boy while ho was mixed up with tho
auto, appeared In court and testified that
to ail appearances and in their Judgment
Mr. Fredrlckson waa driving faster than
ths public safety warranted.
Ia hla argument for the city Prosecutor
Leo drew a strong comparison as between
aa automobile and aa axe, holding that it
was just as reasonable for tho court to
presume that tho boy had been assaulted
as if an axe had been used.
Mr. Fredrlckson was represented by at
torney, -but was not put on tho stand to
testify. Ths court evidently laid much
stress oa tho ax theory and fined Mr.
Fredrlckson. f

Don't Wait for Rain
You're usually in a hurry when you
buy rubbers; you wait until you have to
and then take whatever i$ offered. It's
a foolish way to buy anything, and it's
the usual way of buying rubbers.
Probably it never occurred to you
that there was a difference in rubbers; one
sort better than another; if it did, you
couldn't tell the difference.
That's all changed now, Selz
Royal Blue Rubbers are better-than-usual;
the best, we think, ever made.
They cost the same as usual, plus the
trouble of saying "Selz Rubbers." Say
it to your shoe man; and if you don't
get Selz Rubbers sen4 to us.
The extra quality you'll get is
worth the trouble.
