make that statement? Because
the Democratic County Com
mittee and the Herald, the only
Folk paper in the county have
admitted it in actions that
speak louder than words.
If, Marion bad have been any
thing like safe for Folk that
committee would not have re-
sorted to more than question
able methods by Issuing a call
for one purpose and putting the
meetings actions to another.
Nor would the old committee
have, against all precedents,
a ssumed the power and duties
which belong to the new COM
mittee Nor would the Herald,
which has fought DR.. Shields
from - to breakfast for years,
have excused him and his com
mittee by saying: Why quib-
BILE over methods" The entire

WHAT CONSTITUTES A
HAPPY MARRIAGE.
By Helen OldfieId.

If all men and women who
marry did so for genuine, per-
manent love the vexed question
lis marriage failure?" might
be definitely settled once and
for all in the negative.
For genuine, permanent love
between man and woman is the
one bit OF Eden which was left
10 the race when the gates of
Paradise closed behind our first
parents. shutting them out for
ever; the one flower, says tradi-
tion, flung to Eve by plying
angel who saw and was moved
by her bitter tears. Given that
and, come what may, neither
man nor woman can be misera-
bic so long as they have each
other. MisfortuneS do not mat
ter since they are met together
and each is strong to resist in
the sustaining love of the other.
Discomfort does not matter
since their greatest comfort is
found in each other; poverty
does not matter much, since
bread and cheese and kisses"
or "a dinner of herbs" are alike
eaten together with a zest
sometimes not included in the
menu of a banquet at the Wal
dorf. If such love does not in
reality "sweeten sugarless tea"
it never fails to
MAKE contentmeut and Joy
agree
With the coarsest boarding and
bedding
and in most cases it renders
its possessor oblivious to the
bitterness of the cup and con-
scious only of its tonic proper
ties.
UnfoI tunately such marriages
are the exception rather than
the rule. People who find and
marry their affinities are not
many, and those few are bless
ed among men and women.
Genuine, permanent love, which
merges itself in another's iden-
kity, so that the two thereafter
Eorm a perfect and harmonious

times the cheek is turned so
readily and so sweetly that the
kisseT is content.
1t is not difficult, when one is
well acquainted with people, to
pick out those who are happily
married. those where the hus
band is still the lover, although
married for ten, twenty or for
thirty years or more; where the
wife's first thought, whatever
question arises. is always,
what will John say and
thinkr' and where the chief
point OF interest in any and
everything is how it will APP
pear from the others point of
view. Such unity of interest
cannot tail to be apparent, nor
the fact that although they
may make no to do about it and
are sufficiently agreeable to
I'outsiders, they still prefer each
others society, and are not in
the least bored when they are
forced to spend an evening
alone together.
Next to the married people
who are lovers, they are happi-
est who are thoroughly good
friends. The greater includes
the less, so that genuine lovers
are always friends. Just as
friendship often ripens into
love, so also, while passionate
love rarely cools off in friend
ship, the true husband or wife
is always the others truest and
best friend. True friendship
makes a quietly happy mar
riage because friends make each |
others interests their own.
They have similar taste and
that congeniahty of DISPOSE
ton and pursuits which go far
to make up compatibility in
marriage.
"For never wassany man yet as
l ween be he whosoever hemay
Who has known what a true
friend is and has wished that
knowledge away"
The society of a sympathetic
friend is always pleasant, and
there is a tonic stimulant in it
which keeps ones feelings fresh
and quickens ones ambitions
and aspirations. Even if a hus.
band and wife have not been
friends, in the truest sense of
the word, before. marriage, it is
a duty and ought to be a pleas
ure to become so afterward, an
end which may easily be achiev.
ed if each is steadtastly pur-
posed 10 do his or her part in
the matter.
Friendship must give and
take; it must be free from petty
jea lously, from querulous vani-
ty, from fault'fnding. 1t must
not be exacting nor selfish, tax.
ing all it can get and giving as
little as possible in return. 1t
must be firmly based upon mu-
tual respect and confidence and
each friend must be Jealous for
and careful of the dignity and
honor of the other.
Much Of the happiness and,
a las, much of the misery OF
married life come from the fact
t hat sensitive women are apt to
hold themselves personally re-
S ponsible for the words and acts
of the men whom they love and
re joice or suffer accordingly.

ing of each sets to the other. so
that there can be no contest of
will, no difference OF opinion, is
as rare as radium, rarer, per-
b ps, since there is no wav of
securing it to order, whatever
price one may be willing to pay

People marry from inclination
which they not unfre1uently
imagine to be love, tor conven-
ience, from propinquity, from
accident, t ON headlong, blind
passion. which may perhaps en-
dure through the honeymoon or
even a little longer; they marry
for a home; they marry to be
mari led; in short, for any one
of thousand and one things,
the Tarest oil which in this pro-
gressive and PRACTICAL twenti-
eth century is pure and unadul-
terated love.
A recent anonymous writer in
an English review declares that
there are about ninety and nine
thousand plausible Counterfelts
OF love, physical, mental and
spiritual. Some of them will
last for a week, some month,
some a year, or perhaps longer,
but none of them, he asserts,
will endure for three years. BY.
that time the joy in each others
presence is exhausted, the har-
ness Chafes, and worst of all
the Curableness of marriage
daunts one and the disillusion-
ed husband or wife sees the
future stretch as desolating
of gray years
And" says he, the vast ma
jority of men and women are
willingly or unwillingly victim
lied by one or another of these
Counterfeits. 1t is in the secret
nature of things and fit can't be
helped"
In the vast majority of mar.
riages there is more or less re.
adjustment necessary, the tran
sition from the romatic love of |
courtship to the sober, every
day affection of copjugal life.
The newly welded pair have
to become acquainted intimate
ly and thoroughly as is possible
to no other relation of life; to
discover and fit themselves to
one another's little peculiarities
which have heretofore been
kept out of sight.
To the fortunate few VINO are
really two souls with but
single thought no such read
justment is necessary; each one
is the complement of the other,
and neither friction nor disillu-
siorment is possible. But for
the others, even fer those whose
love, without being ideal, is
still the kind that lasts. there
is usually more or less need for
to endure, to hope
and to believe, if not all things
yet enough to hurt. DiSil u
Sionment is always a painful
process and in marriage it is
dOubly so. 1t is hard to con
