SIDELIGHTS.
INSIDE AND OUTSIDE.


Judge Mandel, Michigan bachelor
jurist. is quoted as saying in his court
to married man, something like this:
eff your wife needs spanking, you
should spank her; if you can't do it
yourself, get an army to help you"
This was the closing remark in a
case where August Sobke had asked
for legal sanction to conduct the fam
lily affairs at his home. Tie had at
tempted to do little "bossing" one
evening after supper and his gentle
! lovey dovey, who balanced the plat
form scales at one eighty-five, laid him
out with club. He came TO in time
to file a few protests in the justice
court next day and after hearing the
detailed account of the battle by
rounds, the judge suggested reinforce
ments.
The judge sat some distance
from Mrs. Sobke while he prescribed
treatment for her. 1t is noticeable that
his honor didn't volunteer to personal
ly assist in the performance. He prob.
ably noticed the bump on the plaintiff S
head where it had connected with the
stick of wood.
There can be no real objection TO a
man seeking advice on questions of this
kind. No person of reasonable think
! ing power will dispute mans right
to voice in the government of his
home fireside. From any point of view
it cannot be decided that he should be
entirely shut out.
He ought to be allowed little run
| for his money. 1t is certainly dis
couraging, though, to the lord of a
| happy household. to have his wife
make a three base hit on his head just
as he begins to offer few sugges
lions as to the management of affairs
inside the home team.
1t is rather hard lines to head the
happy family and lay out and explain
plan for the summers work, tell how
much he loves the home circle, point
with pride to the motto: "God Bless
Our Home" and then have his wife
bounce stick of stove wood off his
| head.
Hereafter, August will spend his
evenings down town and telephone his
orders regarding the household. He
will not stick out for the last word un
til he exasperates Mrs. Sobke to q
point where she hangs household ar
ticles on him and dents his anatomy
| with the wooden furniture.
August is poor diplomat and seems
to be absolutely no good as scrapper
Mrs. Sobke he says, is in the best Of
condition and ready to enter the ring
at moments notice. August is 6
| gutter = he is scared - she's got hel
bluff in on him good and proper, ant
he gives up the fight. He stood vi
pretty game until she landed on his
head with the fiat side of the bat, bu
| now admits Mrs. Sobke is the bes
. man. August says life is failure :
that is married life. G. P. C.

cover that Mr.. Hearst is rather q fine
chap after ALL

Cudp dlCGT all. - tx
If enough of the leaders flop to
make the moy ementF a notable one it
looks as though there was "a chance
for democratic harmony in Iowa, after
all. Mr. Hearst. having obtained 4 all
he wanted and more in Iowa already is
willing to be- generous and forg1vihg.
This is Evidenced by recent compli-
mentary publications regarding Judge
Wade In Mr.. Hearst's newspapers.
When Judge Wade first came To con-
gress the Hearst papers gave him q
great deal of attention AS he began
to show his administration hand"
he came to be regarded with suspicion
and the publicity bureau dropped him
for a time while privately some un-
pleasant things were said of him.
Judge Wade, however was smooth
enough to avoid any conflagration
IN the vicinity of his bridges. Ii he
too wishes TO get into the Hearst band
wagoa,he would not have much trouble.
1t will be remembered that Judge Wade
did not once during the last session
OF congress declare his preference or
dislike Of any proposed candidate ex-
cept Bryan and Cleveland. He intimat-
ed to his friends most empbatically
that he had no use for MI. Hearst but
he never said so in public. A recorded
statement could not be pulled upon him
anywhere. He can step over into the
other boat without trouble -
This of course would be very polite
of Judge Wade. There has been talk
of a possible Hearst candidate in the
second district to go after the nominal
ton for Congress. This looks improb-
able now, however. If matters keep UP
MS they have started all wounds will be
healed by campaign time and the sec
ond district will be treated to another
influx of Chicago Americans extolling
Judge WAGE. Who knows but there
will he another $4,000 of Mr.. Hearst's
money! Ir this case, however, it will
have to be remembered that vote for
Wade should have coupled with 1t one
for Hearst.
Senator Dolliyer has accepted an
invitation from Senator Hale to take
part in the Maine campaign in Septem-
Der. This is one of the few engage
ments to speak that Senator Dolliver
has made for the coming summer. He
will do most of his talking in Iowa. Il
am going to get better acquainted with
my own folks" was the way he laugh
ingly explained his decision.
Senator Delivers record during the
last session is an enviable one. 1t was
probably the most successful session
he has spent in the senate and during
the few months comprising it he full
| ly established himself as one of the
| inner circle in the upper body. His
| invitation from Senator Hale and one
which he has already fulfilled from
| Senator Aldrich, are significant. These
two leaders are cold blooded men and
were never known to take up younger
4 senators unless they saw in them COM
