 Bu there are other schedules that demand attention. and some of these had been supposed to have priority of consideration before Underwood icclarcd himself

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON

The Rev. Herbert johnson. a Boston
minister, has recently preached sermon
on marital relations. in which he sets
forth ten "don'ts' for wives and ten for
husbands.
All of the ''don'ts" are excellent. Di-
vorce courts would probably be much less
needed if they were needed. Don
forget to dress up for him oc-
your husbands lap when he is hungry.
Don't fail to take out life insurance in
favor of her and the babies, and Don
praise the wife of your neighbor," are ex-
amp1es. But the best one, according to
my way of thinking, is the following
''don't'' for husbands. Incidentally, it IS
quite as good for wives, if they need It
Don't form the habit of speaking
GROSSLY to your wife. 1t would be much
better to shoot her"
Dora Melegari a Russian writer, says
that she has known many people who
caused a greater sum OF unhappiness by
their ugly and disagreeable dispositions.
with which they daily and hourly tor
mented those who had to live with them.
than if they had simply ''wrung the neck
of one two victims"
The Rev Herbert johnson evidently mas
the same point of view-that ten thou
sand little unkindn esses spoil as much
happiness as one or two big brutalities.
And I'm most emphatically with them
both.
1 wish a law could be passed. by which
the man who has the fixed habit OF
speaking GROSSLY to his wife. of calling
everything about the house and about his
routine that doesn't just suit him her
fault of gliding at her whenever she
does not understand readily, and tor
menting her in various similar ways,
could be punished like any other male
factor.
In nv mind, he is vastly more a Grim
inal than the man who steals a few dol
lars For he is stealing that which is
more precious than prOperty-he is steal
ing happiness and peace, and stealing 1t
from those he processes to love the best
in the world
Perhaps my masculine readers wonder
why / don't say more about the wife, VINO
is cross to her husband. l have two rea-
sons. For one thing, I think she ought
to be able to apply my structures to her
self without any assistance on my part.
And iTf the second place, think she is
much rarer quantity
Women have their faults which destroy
happiness. F'retting nagging, eXtrava-
gance pettiness, jealousy. vanity, selfish
ness are feminine faults. but the habit OF
crossness and fault finding do thorough
ly believe is more common in husbands
than wives
Kindness is the littlest and the biggest
thing in the world.
Such tiny things constitute it-such lit
tie differences in word and infection,
such little rememberingss and fOrgettings.
And yet the lack or presence of kindness
makes such a vast difference in a life.
sence of it is as fatal to happiness the
absence of material sunshine to animal
life.
To return to the Rev. Herbert Johnson
if you must kill the thing you love- be
merciful and merely shoot her. Don
force upon her the living death of life
with a man who is perpetually cross.

The edition was issued with a view to

SAYS UNCLE CAV

He who is content with the contem
platIon of superior natural gifts is
travelling one road to failure. The
man who can do anything. seldom
does anything worth while Thou
sands of highly talented men die use
less and unknown because of their
failure to make use OF their powers.
The knowledge of what one can do
is dangerous If it is satisfying. Only
when coupled with ambition and a
courage capable of becoming desper-
ate when defeated is it of value.
Too many men with only a moci-
cum of brains, but with a good deal of
energy, are occupying high places. No
blame is theres-rather they deserve
their success. Yet the world is poorer
because others of greater mental pow
ers have allowed their courage to
ooze, have failed to cultivate habits of
industry or are merely content with
the knowledge that they could achieve
if they would.
cerned, it is better to work like a horse
than to think like a god Actionless
meditation is profitless, and he who
lullS his conscience with dreams of
what may be is pitiable. He lives in
the shadows, when he should be deal
ing in su distances. He is a sort of self
hypnotized paranoiac, useless. but
imagining himself to be of great ac-
count.
What you can do ia not important.
What you have done. and that only,
weighs. If you have superior capabili-
ties and have not exercised them. your
lot is shameful We succeed or fail by
actualities, and no amount of fruitless
imagination can alter the case
When a knowledge Of your powers
has lent you courage, it has done all
that it can do. Such a knowledge is
perverted when it is food for dreams
A perfect personality is more to be
desired than all other gifts. but no
personality is perfect that does not
convert its possibilities into actualitfes.

TOPEKA EDITOR OPPOSES Plan.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. s.-While I am
stanch admirer and friend of Roosevelt,
[ do not favor the T-ibune's declaration
that in direct primary states his name
ould be put upon the ballot. Roosevelt
has emphatically said he is not a cand1-
date, and has urged his friends not to
take measures to secure delegates to the
convention
The course suggested by the Tribune is
thus directly and positively opposed to
the ex-president's Wishes which en-
titled to the respect due from a grateful
people to one who has served them well
officially. and who is now q powerful in
fluence for the country's good in a cali
ing OF his own choice.
His name on such a ballot might result
in placing him in an embarrassing posi-
ton which ought not to be put up to him.
In other words, the action suggested is
plainly impairment
Personally, I believe Taft is not only
the logical candidate, but is entitled to
and has earned a denomination. The
quicker, I think, the various elements OF
the Republican party recognize this the
more likelihood of its success at the
polls stopping an agitation which IS
productive of dissension and weakness.

You don't think so That's because you

Fact is, men are increasing much faster
