vital democratic issues. Governor Nc.
Govern is to be commended for his
clear and concise statement of these
issues. The Illinois legislature should
have impressed upon it the Importance
of these truths. The people of the
state have overwhelmingly approved
the initiative and referendum. These
issues have been incorporated in the
platforms of the leading parties. There
should be response along this line
from the legislature.
AS to the recall as considered from
a municipal viewpoint, the legislature
should enact a law amending the re-
call provision of the commission form
Of government law reducing it from
rs per cent to at least IS per cent.

DR. HARTzOG TO LEAVE
RESIGNS POSITION AS SECRE TARY OF STATE BOARD OF
 EDUCATION.

Little Rock, June 22.-Dr. Henry S. HartZog, secretary of the State Board of Education, has accepted a position with Merrill & Co.,, publishers of St. Louis, as manager and has already as sumed his new duties. Merrill & Co. is one of the largest book publishing concerns in the United States and it is stated that they have been endeavor- ing to secure the services of Dr. Hart zog for years. The position carries a very liberal salary.
 pr. Hartzog was formerly president of the University of Arkansas, later of Ouachita College and for the past year secretary of the State Board of Education. He has been conspicuous ly identified in the educational life of Arkansas and of the south. He is an orator and lecturer of unusual ability and is in demand at educational, com mercial and other gatherings. At the Southern Commercial Congress sat At lanta recently ms address was one oI the best numbers. His influence upon the board has been far-reaching and beneficial, and Superintendent Cook of the department of education declar- ed last night that his departure was a severe loss to the educational interests of Arkansas. It is not yet determined who will take up the work of secre- tary where Dr. Hartzog left off, and owing to the fact that the legislature made no provision for a secretary of the board, it is thought that the mat ter will have to be held in abeyance until some knowledge is obtained as to how much support the state will give.

ever we are in a tight place she says:
well, l don't see why you can't make
more money. l earned enough TO live
on comfortably when I worked"
1t gets my goat every time: and am
getting sick of it.
Business women aren't trained as
wives. and when the novelty Of a home
and husband is over they want to be
back in the rush of business again, and
they take it all out on the poor man
when he comes home tired and fretted
at night.
love my wife, heaven knows, but
can see that my marriage was a mis-
take, and if it wasn't for my boy I'd
suggest divorce. As 1t is, I'm writing
this in the hopes it may steer some
other fellow clear of the rocks I'm on.
]. L. D.
Your letter goes very deep into the
great question OF modern marriage, my
dear J. L. D., and TO answer it is very
difficult
Is Right About 1t.
You are right about the business
woman who marries; she is bound
sooner or later to sigh for wider inter
ests than those offered by her home,
but II the husband is wise and patient,
If he sympathizes and puts it up to her
fairly to remember that she had a
chance TO choose. and took a home, 1
think these troubIous years can be made
Stcpping-stOne to a deeper under
standing and a greater love than that
of the first happy months.
The woman who holds up her own
earning capacity before her husbands
eyes is unnecessarily cruel. And the
Woman who signs for the noise and
dust of an office in place of her home
certainly does not make a good wife
and the. business girl, l admit, is sell
dom trained to run a home, but if
the husband makes It a business for
her, if he encourages business methods
of running It, the delight of perfecting
a system can make up to the wife for
the loss of her work, that is, if she
tries.
1t cannot be all up to the husband,
can it?
