Editor The Press-Shall a wife
forgive everything? No, by all
means, no. Human nature is more
or less alike in this respect. A man
cannot love and respect a woman
that does so, any more than
woman can love and respect a man.
We have too many cases in police
court right now where men abuse
their wives and after the Judge pro-
nounces sentence the wives plead
for their release. If these wives
were not so easy to forgive, the
same men would be loyal husbands
in nine cases out of 10. Mrs. J. L.

The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-02-14

Editor The Press-"Should the
wife forgive everything?" A wife
most decidedly should not forgive
any and every wrong which her hus-
band may commit, even though
there be children. A child or chill
dren forms the strongest bond
known to father and mother, but if
the father commits a wrong which
causes the mother to lose all re-
spect for him he should not be for
given: for without that respect
there can be no home, and to bring
a child up in such an atmosphere
is bound to have a decidedly i'll
effect on it's character
From the standpoint of right and
wrong. men and women are in the
same position regarding forgive
ness. The wife should not forgive
wrongs in her husband which he
would not forgive if committed by
her. c. d. Wentworth, 01223R

The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-02-14

Editor The Press-In response to
your very important questions re-
speeding the obligations of husband
and wife, will say that marriage is
the Oldest and most venerable of
Gods sacred institutions, divinely
appointed in the days of primeval
innocence and happiness.
Gods law regulating marriage
does not Obligate the wife to forgive
her husband for the sin of fornica-
ton, even though he be the father
of her children. Gen. 1924; Matt.
1879.
Neither does it necessitate the
birth of children to cement the mar
riage vow before Gods holy altar.
God may withhold the fruit of the
womb. Gen. 30:1,2. Nothwithstand-
ing, marriage is marriage, Just the
same. Rom. 7:3.
Men and women are In exactly
the same position concerning for
giveness. Gal. 1928.
The wife should not suffer
wrongs from her husband that he
would not be willing to freely for
give if committed by her. B. D..

in its political philosophy. the Sun begs
the Democrats OF this State to rise to
the virtuous heights OF pure utilitariai1-
ism and contemplate the fearful risks
they are running by their present
shameless conduct Think OF il"
cries the mentor of the party, with a
lump in its throat and tear-bedimmed
eyes, think of it; all this scrambling
for pie" when that scrambling is en-
dangering our party's chances OF a full
course dinner. Can't you fellows. you
fool, hungry Democrats, understand
what you are risking by this disgust
ing exhibition? Don't you know how
soon there will be political jobs going
which is jobs'-Governor, Comptrol-
Ter, Attorney General, Mayor, Sheriffs,
Court Clerks. etc, etc And here you
are risking our chances for plum-pud-
ding by fighting like street-dogs for
corn-pone." And so the mentor pro-
ceeds with its edifying lecture-and
we are much uplfted. 1t is new and
refreshingly entertaining heart-talk on
the reward of virtue And lest our
readers charge us with misrepresenta-
ton, we beg to refer them to the edi-
torial columns OF the Baltimore Sun
OF January 22d where they will find
the argument set forth substantially,
as we have stated it. 1t is a touching
and timely appeal. which we trust the
Suns fellow Democrats will lay to
heart. Why, in the name of all that's
vrtuous, statesmanlike, and exalted,
should they commit suicide in this year
Of grace, 1910, for few paltry legis-
lative jobs; when if, by keeping alive
and well, they might collar so much
more the year thereafter? The argu-
ment is irresistible. and if the Demo-
cratic record OF government is en-
dangering its life. we beg them to re-
vive and perpetuate their existence by
a fw more election la VS., as vrtuous
and high-minded as the Suns appeal
against suicide.

UNCALLED FOR

n ENATOR Omar d. Crothers has
- introduced and had passed, by
the Maryland Senate, bill
which limits the expenditures of the
county in the matter OF its publishing;
and directing that such publishing
shall be confined to two papers of
large circulation. Without passing
any judgment on the purpose of this
bill, we certainly must criticise its pro-
priety. We would suppose such mat
ter should be left to the judgment of
the Commissioners themselves, and
not to the action of Legislative body
at Annapolis. When the people en-
trust the management OF their county
affairs to a Board OF County Com
missioners, they naturally expect that
Board to be composed OF men capable
of dealing wisely and honestly with
those affairs. If the Commissioners
are not capable OF so dealing, they
are not fit to be Commissioners. If
they ARE capable, then why should
the Legislature control and direct
their actions as ii they We're irrespon-
sible children. 1t looks as If such a
bill were needless slap" at the
trustworthiness OF the men whom the
people elect to manage their affairs as
County Commissioners. The bill also
shows how easy it is to abuse the
power OF local legislation" in the fur
therance of some one mans personal
feelings or opinions.

SOMETHING NEW TO MARYLAND

r n our issue OF last week we quoted
Governor Crothers on State Fl
nances, wherein he says the State
faces a deficit OF more than million
dollars III ITS current expense account,
with no additional revenue in sight with
which to make good This" he fur
Their says, is something new to Mary
land" We will accept his declaration
and beg to know how that some
THING NEW TO MARYLAND"
happens to come about. What has been
transpiring in official circles, in the
handling OF our fiscal affairs, that
Maryland should be facing not only a
new but a most unpalatable financial
situation. Somebody must be ac-
countable for state Of affairs which
the Governor himself describes as un-
preccdcntcd Whom are we to hold
accountable if not the official circles OF
the State Administration? We remcm-
Der how our Dcmocraticc friends
paved the air" in the last campaign,
whenever we dared hint at their in
competency or lachcs in the manage
ment Of the States finances. Again
and again. on the hustings, Demo-
cratic orators pointed with pride" to
the Democratic partys splendid re-
cord in this very matter. The echoes
OF that campaign thunder have hardly
died away, ere the Governor comes
forward To prove our contention, by
emphasizing the fact that the State
faces new and very unhappy con-
ditlon of things, as to its financial
standing. W" say again, that such a
condition mus, be laid at the door of
the party responsible for the States
administration. 1t can, by no posi-
billty, be laid elsewhere. This is what
we meant, in the last campaign by
challenging that party, again and again.
to discuss their record in the face of
the people. They naturally declined the
cha llengc. They had only one issue
their paramount issue. Their one
hope was i'll holding their forces in
line by waving the negro bugaboo.
they knew-nobody knew it better
that their record of State administra-
ton would not bear public examina-
ton, and they were duly careful to
constantly avoid that issue. But thew
cannot avoid the day of reckoning.
Pay day has to come, as certainly az
murder will out. Now, that the ncces-
sity is upon them Of repairing the re-
suits OF their incompetency and mis-
management. the evidence of that in
competency aud mismanagement has
to come to light The evidence will
become more impressive as the State
tax rate mounts up. But who cares
about the State debt or the State tax
rate or any other legitimate question
OF public policy, SO long as the black
peril overshadows the land and makes
our existence BLACK as the night from
pole to pole" The white mans
party may come high, but we MUST
nave it--or at least that's what the
political mountcbanks tells us.

THE SUNS EDIFYING APPEAL

IT HE Baltimore Sun Gin a recent
editoriaD wants to know if the
Democratic party in this State
IS trying to commit suicide. 1t wants
to know further ii that party appre-
crates how many good things it NAV
mss, IN the way OF political jobs, BY
committing suicide. Realizing how
hopeless 1t IS to talk economy to an
organization Democrat, on the ground
OF ITS reasonablcness and rightness;
understanding full well that when the
boys at Annapolis set out to raid the
rcasury, you might as well sing
psalms to dead mule as cry halt" to
the ravenous raiders; knowing that an
organized appetite" amongst politi-
cal Iootcrs IS never kept back from
the trough by any appeals to common
honesty or the dcccncy OF things; with
these few considerations evidently hxea
