had thrown a retrospective eye over the
scenes of a long and various life. and
then committed to writing for the per-

HOW ABOUT
THE FATHERS

Editor Spokane Press-Will you
kindly allow me, as a wife and
mother, to voice my thoughts
through your valuable paper. l see
they are having a great time trying
to keep boys (under age) out of the
pool rooms. Say, how about those
places? If they are not fit for the
sons, mothers and daughters. are
they fit for the fathers of those
boys and girls? The same can be
said of the saloons. What mother
who has any self respect would pat
ronize those places? Why license
dens of vice where mothers and
daughters would or dare not enter,
but which are wide open to the
athers, also to the boys, if they will
only claim to be of legal age.
Mothers and wives, wake up, and
get together and demand that
places of vice be abolished If those
places are not fit for our children,
they are not fit for our husbands.
Thanking The Press for the stand
1t is taking against vice, crime and
graft. l am. respectfully, Mrs. VIM.

COLD FEET SPURNED,
WIFE WINS DIVORCE

LOGANSPORT, Ind, Oct. 90
Because her husband would not let
her put her cold feet in the middle
of his back to enable her to get to
sleep, the courts today granted
Mrs. Margaret Owens divorce
from Robert Owens.
Mrs. Owens said her husband
had become SO touchy he would al
most crawl out of bed every time
she touched him with her cold feet,
and he had not kissed her in three
years. Judge Larry held that this
was cruelty. Ill.
Owens put up the defense that
three years ago, after quarrel
his wife informed him that there
after they would live together only
as hired girl and boarder." Being
a married man, he said, he had had
scruples about kissing the hired
girl"

When BRAND, radical advocate

BRAND is a wonder. He was a
failure when he had passed middle

of the workingmen by expressing
their discomfort. leadership, par
