Wife Should Help, Not Obey.

A few days ago a man, on tn
very night before the wedding
broke his engagement to MARI!
a girl because she refused tt
promise to obey him. He sail
that his first demand of his wife
was that she should implicitly
obey his every wish.
And this happened right here
in New York, not in Turkey with
it's harems, nor Africa with it;
female slaves, but right here ir
little old New York that we are
accustomed to think Of as march.
ing along toward the head Of the
Progressive Procession. And il
didn't take place in medieval
times, but in this year Of grace,
and suffragettes, of 1912.
Can you believe it? Can you
realize that there is such a per-
son still living, with such hoary,
Anticipated notions as has this,
prospective bridegroom? To be
sure he is an old bachelor, but
even old bachelors are seldom in
the Rip Van Wrinkle class nowa-
days.
Our heartiest congratulations
to the young lady who escaped
getting this sort of husband.
Her guardian angel surely was
working overtime in her behalf
to snatch her, even in the eley-
enth hour, from a life of misery.
and she should be burning jos
sticks to the great god Luck for
her escape.
Marriage, even with a liberal
minded man, is not a perpetual
picnic. and what it would be with
a grinding tyrant who would
take this word obey in the
marriage service in a literal in
stead of q picwfckian n one
trembIes to think. Certainly the
worm of the dust would have
nothing on such a wife when it
came to being trampled upon.
As a matter of fact, the diff
Guilty about the obeying business
in matrimony should be a revi-
sion of the marriage service that
would substitute help for it.
Certainly there is no justifiable
reason for making a woman per-
jure herself at the altar by
swearing to obey her husband
when she knows she hasn't the
slightest intention of doing it,
and SO does everybody else, the
husband included.
Nor does the husband, if he is
the right sort of a man, desires
his wife to obey him. He recog-
nizes her rights as an Individual;
he respects her personal liberty
of thought and action. More
over, he hasn't picked out for a
wife a child who is to be dictated
to at every turn, nor a fool who
must have every act directed by
a superior intelligence.
. The modern idea of marriage
is equality of both parties, not
the subservience of the woman
to the man. We are done with
slavery, even the domestic Brand
and men don't wish their wives
to kneel at their feet, but sit be-
sides them.
IF a woman should promise,
she takes the marriage
vow, to help her husband, it
would mean something, and she
could take it in good faith, but
to obey-huh-she would just
ike to see the man that she
go toddling to, asking his
permission to go to a matinee, or
10 join a club, or to do anything
Else that she wanted to do and
hat her own good sense and
Judgement told her it was proper
for her to do.
And why should she obey,
Why should some great,
Dig, strong, intelligent woman
obey some little shrimp Of q man,

HADLEY Is FOR TAFT
Roosevelts Former Manager Comes
Out Squarely for the
President.

Gov. Hadley, of Missouri, who was
one of Roosevelt's managers at the Re
publican national convention, and who
had charge of the contest made by
Roosevelt delegates, has declined to
follow the Third Term candidate out
of the Republican party, and has de-
clared that he will support President
Taft. In a speech at Jefferson City,
Mo-, he said:
Il hope that these many highmind-
ed but, | believe, mistaken men, who
have thought there was a greater in
terest to be subserved by joining in
the organization of a new party and
the nomination of another State tick
ct, will yet see that by such acts they
are simply doing that which tends to
insure Democratic success. And /
hope that they will come back to the
party which has stood for decency;
that has stood for sane and effective
progress in the conduct OF public az
fairs"
After appealing to Republicans to
support the Republican nominees,
Gov. Hadley pointed out in his speech
that the Democrats were pledged to
the same kind of tariff legislation as
they gave to the country after the
Democratic victory Of 1892. He said
that no Republican could associate
himself with those whose efforts tend
ed to insure Democratic success.

SUPPORTS TAFT
Says All Other Candidates Seek to
Destroy Republican Party.

BY his physicians orders. former
Senator Foraker has been compelled
10 decline the invitation to make
speeches this campaign. OF course,
as a loyal Republican, he is support
ing Taft. For quite while the former
senator was in Maine for his health,
and while there he was a keen OBJ
server of the political situation. He
declares that the result in Maine was
emphatically victory for the policy
of protection. Upon his return home
he gave a highly interesting state
ment to the Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune" from which the following is
excepted:
ct is the duty, Of every Republican
who wants to support the Republican
party and Republican principles to re-
member that there Is no way to sup
port the party and its principles ex-
cept by supporting President Taft.
Nobody else pretends to represent
the Republican party. Every other
candidate for the presidency is the
open and avowed enemy OF the Re-
publican party All alike are seeking
It's defeat and destruction"

TALKING ABOUT sTRAWs.

The Billings (Mont) Daily Gazette,
which has been strong Roosevelt pa
per until recently, has come over TO
Taft, the editor giving his reasons for
the change in double-column article.
declaring that he sees no hope for the
success of the Third Term party. and
Is convinced that the cause of real re-
form can be best promoted by con-
tinuing the Republican party In power
The article particularly emphasizes
the danger of bringing about adverse
business conditions through a change
in administration. and points out the
steady advance which has been made
under Republican policies 1t is a
most significant editorial, and as the
Gazette is the most important paper in
Montana, its influence upon the cleo
tion can hardly be measured. II is only
another one of the innumerable signs
that the Third Term party has col
lapsed, that the country realizes the
fight is between the Republican party
and the Democratic party, and that no
possible benefit could be derived from
change.

Now Outspoken for Taft.

From the Clinton. ILL.,, Journal.
AS the Journal up to this point In
the campaign has exercised its pre-
rosatIve of expressing disinterested
comment upon issues and candidates,
so now, as an independent newspaper,
it feels that the time Is at hand and
the opportunity Is ripe to declare its
policy on the issues of the day. From
now on until November 5, therefore,
the journal will contribute it's efforts
to the Saccess Of the principles of the
Republican platform and the re-eIec-
tion of William Howard Taft TO the
presidency. II Is convinced that only
the continuance of present policies
will insure the stability and pros
perlty of the agricultural, industrial
and financial interests of the nation,
and It trembles for the future at the
thought Of the havoc and ruin which
the success either of the Democratic
party or Of the misnamed "Prosres-
sive" party would mean.

MUST VOTE FOR TAFT
Roosevelt, Who Cannot Be Elected,
Says That Wilson's Election Means
Nationwide Disaster.

Col. Roosevelt, the Third Tenn Can
dldate, cannot possibly be elected
'There is no way in which he can car
ry enough states to give him 2e6 cleo.
toral votes.
But By dividing the Republican
party, Col. Roosevelt can aid in elect.
In Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic
candidate. Should Wilson be elected?
Roosevelt says that Wilson's election
would plunge this country into nation
wide disaster. Here are Roosevelts
own words, written in the Outlook Of
July, 27, 1912:
IF DR.. Wilson were elected, he
would either have to repudiate the
promises made about the tariff i'm the
Democratic platform Of else brina ev-
cry industry in the country to a crasl,
which would make all panics In our
past history seem like chiId's play In
comparison. In short, were DR.. Will
son elected on this platform, he would
be obliged at the very outset of his ad-
ministration to face the alternatives
of dishonesty or disaster, the aiterna-
tives OF refusing to carry out the ex-
pressed pledges of the platform, or
else Of causing such disaster to ev-
cry worker in the country as would
mean nationwide rain"
AS Roosevelt cannot be elected, and
as Roosevelt says that Wilson's cleo
ton would mean disaster, it is log
ical conclusion that the vote Of the
country must be given to President
Taft.

The President EuIosized Because He
Is Wise, Honorable, DlsnIfed,

ls Predicted.

From every section of the country
comes editorial commentator of
President Taft and of his administra-
ton. Quite a number of papers which,
until recently, had remained independ-
ent, have, like the Clinton, H., Jour
nal, declared their conviction that
only the continuance Of present poll
cies will ensure the stability and pros
perity of the agricultural, industrial
and financial interest OF the nation.
The president is receiving credit for
his courageous vetoes of free trade
tariff bills, for his efforts to secure
economical administration Of the gov
eminent and for his success in i'm
proving social conditions through
recommending and forcefully advo-
eating legislation. A page could well
be filled with extracts from editorial
columns praising the president, but
