A Happy New Year to All.

This is the Age of Chivalry, Says Dorothy Dix,
but Man's Gallantry Not Yet Triumphant
Over Filthy Lucre.
Uttsf
A man who Is violently opposed, to wo
man suffrage has written nro'a letter In
which ho says that the reason women
have to stand up In street cars Is because
they want to vote.
for men will novor
show any chivalry
to women as long
as women demand
their rights
This lsynn ancient
argument of the
untls. and It al
ways strikes the
funny bone of a
person with any
senso of humor. It
Is easy to answer
it by pointing out
that if women had
the ballot It would
not bo necessary
for men to give
them ther seats on
the tteet cars, oe-
ouiiso tho women could pass laws that
would force the street car companies to
put on enough cars to carry everybody
comfortably. Instead of herding people
together, as Is now done. In cars that
me. packed worse than cattlo cars.
Of course, men, having the weapon of
tho ballot In their hands, could Institute
that reform right now If they would take
tho trouble to do it. They don't, how
ever Perhaps they don't object to being
packed like sardines In a box. Perhaps
they don't mind standing, or they don t
mind seeing women stand, or they don't
object to having their clothes half torn
oft them by their fellow-victims push
ing and squeezing and climbing over then
ns they try to got out at a station.
shoes are not built for
standing In; women's clothes cost a lot

a contradictory statement.
Plain, simplo justice would give to
women her right, and chivalry Is sup
posed to go a step beyond Justice, and
give to a woman something more than
her rights her rights with frills on them,
so to speak. How absurd then to deny a
woman who Is honestly and Justly com
ing to her, and then have the nerve to
talk of chivalry In the same breath
In reality there Is nothing In tho world
so absurd, and so utterly untruu as the
way people glorify the chivalry of the
man of the past, and hold them up ns
models to the men of tho present, who are
accused of being brutal and ungallant to
women. 'IxjoIc how men treat women!
Chivalry Is dead," they cry.
Npnscnse. "Women wore never treated
so well In tho whole history of tho world
as they are today. Men were never 30
truly knightly, and as f6r chivalry being
dead, why, Just any f ordinary business
man could make the wfcole of the round
table look like pikers when It comes to
showing true gallantry to n woman.
Tho chivalry of tho past! Consider It.
please. No woman could walk alone on
the streets without danger of being In
sulted by every man sho met. Sho hnd
to be kept locked up In her father's
houso. as In a Jail, to protect her. Now
any decent, well-behaved gtrl, who will
keep her eyes before her, can walk the
city unmolested at midnight, and travel
from ono end of the country to tho other
without receiving anything but kindness
and consideration from every man she
meets.
The chivalry of the past! It was -o
very tender to a female that It robbed her
of every cent she had. A father left all
of his money to his sons, with n vague

by being snueered Into tho market baskets
of the women next to them. So about
the first thing women would do if they
had the ballot would be to enact laws
that would secure to every passenger tho
decent transportation that ho or She payb
for on street cars.
It Is nlso to laugh when a man gravely
assures vou that men will never, show
chivalry to women as long as women de
mand their rights. What sort of chivalry
h 11 that denies a woman her rights.

failed to do. When a girl married every
dollar of her property went to her hus
band, and he might drink It away, or
thtow It away, or spend It on other
women. Sho had no control over a nickel
of It, and couldn't help herself.
When It cornea to a fight between
money and the Idealities, money Is mighty
apt to win out, and the gallantry of man
hasn't been wholly able to triumph over
tho love of lucre yet. The married womun
still gets a cold deal about her property
In most of the states, hut men are getting
more and more gallant all the time, and
every year better property laws for
women are enacted.
It's significant to note In this con
nection that In the south, where men

j worst, and bear tho hardest on them.

Tho "Trent Affair." one of the most
critical In which the United States Gov
ernment was Involved during the Civil
War, will always stand nssoclatrd with
the queerest and smartest pleco of dl
plomatio Juggling Known In history.
On the eighth day of November. 1SI,
John BlldAll mid James M. Mason, dip
lomatic agents of tho Confederate
States to Kngland and France, were on
board the Ifrltlsh merchnnt ship Trent
on their wny from Havana to Liverpool,

Wllkoe, of tho United Stutea war vessel

At onro ,tho Urltlsh Government got
"busy." furiously resented tho "Insult"
nnd thorough-going "apolosTj'." with the
release of the Imprisoned Commissioners.
Secretary Heward realized that he was
In a bad fix. He knew perfectly well
that the people of the United States were
- 'ramo of mind for an apology to
Kngland, and yet he felt, and could not
help feeling, that something bordering1
pretty close on nn apology was not due,
but envltablo.
Wilkes had blundered, and blundered
badly, In taking the commlsMnncra from
tho Trent, and some sort of acknowledge
ment of the fact had to ho made,
Not only so, but a war with England,
at that time was a thing not to be
thought of. Thei hope of the north lay,
nnd with reason, In the blockade. If the
southern ports could ho kept senled up,
thus preventing exports nnd Imports, the
southern cause must ultimately dlo of
sheer Inanition; hut with the llrltlsh
navy to contend with liow would It he
possible to maintain the blockade?
All of these things Reward had to think
of and govern himself accordingly. How
well he performed his most difficult tar.k
all the world knows, It vran perhaps the
cleverest piece of diplomacy that the
world has even seen. With the greatest
statesman and most skilful diplomats of
Europe pitted against him. Reward ac
complished the seemingly Impossible tasl
of npologlxlng without apologising, und
surrendering without surrendering.
With the tact that would have put
Mettcrnlch. Talleyrand, or oven M.trh
lavelll himself to tho blush, Seward
played his game of "thlmble-dlg" so
perfectly that he wns able to satisfy both
sides of the controversy, and that wlbout
lowering his country's flag an Inch of
In any way compromising its dignity or
honor.
Ixird Uvons was satisfied, the nrltlsh
people were satisfied, the people or tho
north were pleased, anil pleased also were
even tho southern people, for their coni
mlsslnhers, gracefully released hy Seward,
were soon on their way to perform their
duties as the confederacy's ngenta In
