By DOROTHY DIX

in as slap dash manner as his
wife does hers he would land in the
bankruptcy court inside of a year.
Doubtless this is true. 1t is one of
the greatest injustices done women
that girls are rarely trained to bust
ness methods or ever given any
money to handle. so that when they
come to spend their husbands earn
ings they do not know how to do it
to the best advantage.
Nor do they take kindly TO being
taught business methods when their
husbands try to instruct them, as in
the case of the man cited at the be
ginning of this article. on the con-
trary when a husband tries to in
duce his wife to keep books she is
apt to accuse him Of penuriousness
in the matter of money.
The wife is wrong in this. lnas-
much as marriage Is partnership
in which the husband supplies the
money for running the home. and
the woman does the active work of
making the home. ii is nothing
more than fair that the wife should
keep record of the funds that pass
through her hands and be able to
give an account of her stewardship.
He has perfect right to know how
his money is used and whether it
is wasted or not.
Partners in business who are
managing different ends of an en-
terprise look over each others ac-
counts, and there is no reason why
a wife should feel miffed If her
husband wants to take a peek at
her expense book and find out how
she is conducting her department.
If every married woman would
keep an accurate account of every
cent that she spent on the family
and not only permit her husband
to see 1t, but force him to audit her
books every month. ii would not
only be a good thing economically,
but it would be an eye opener to
the man and stop the eternal growl
about woman's extravaganza.
The average man always acts as
if his wife spent all the money on
herself. You would think to hear
him talk. that she ate all the food
and monopolized all the light and
heat of the house, and it would put
a quietus on him If he was forced
to read, item by item. of pecks Of
potatoes and pounds Of coffee and
sugar and dozens Of eggs. and beef
steaks. and mutton chops. and tripe
and onions and see with his own
eyes that il was for these neCessi-
tics FOR the family and not on her

When the parties have held their
conventions, ana the two or three
or more nominees are submitted to
the people, you decide or you should
decide. just this question: What
man. among them. best measures
up to the requirements?
Then you elect that man. or YOU
should elect him. In the course Of
time he appears once again in pub
lie, on the 4th of March, when the
chief justice of the United States
administers the oath of Office, which
says:
Il do solemnly swear that / viii
faithfully execute the Office Of
president Of the United States and
will, to the best Of my ability. pre-
serve, protect and defend the con-
sttution of the United States"
The inauguration is a more SOL

be done stares the man in the face

President S Power
Comes From People.

His power comes directly from
the people, and their welfare is as
sumed to be the prime object of his
consideration
Only a natural born citizen may
aspire to this office. He must be
at least 80 years of age and ID years
a resident of the United States.
The presidents term of office is
four years. He is eligible for re-
election. SO far as the constitu-
ton is concerned, a president may
be reelected once, or twice, or
many times. Up to date, no man
has ever filled the office for more
than two terms, and it seems quite
unlikely that this precedent will be
broken.
The president is commander-in
chief of the army and navy of the
United States and of the states
militia when called into Federal
service.
He is empowered to grant re-
prieves and pardons for offenses
committed against the United
States, but his power does not ex-
tend to cases of impeachment
With two thirds vote of the
senate he may make treaties with
foreign powers thus extending his
influence on behalf of the nation
to the world at large.
He appoints ambassadors to for
egn nations. In fact, there come
within his appointing power, with
confirmation of the senate, about
5000 offices.
He may convene the houses of
congress in extra sessions, and he
may adjourn them to a date not
beyond the next regular session.
From members of his cabinet he
may require written opinions upon
their departments. He receives am
bassadors and foreign ministers.
All bills passed by congress are
brought before him for his sigma
ture or his veto.

First Founding Asylum
BY THE REV. THOMAS b, GREGORY

TT was 173 years ago-July, 1879
that the big hearted Old sea
captain, Thomas Coram, sue
ceeded in getting through the pa
pers for the Incorporation of the
Founding Hospital of London"
the first home for friendless little
children that was ever known
among the English speaking people
of the earth
From the beginning of human
down to quite modern times the
lot of the little child. especially if
it happened to be a girl child with
out legal parentage. was most
forlorn one. full of all that was cal
culated to touch the heart and call
forth the sorrow and pity of man
kind
But it seems that the compass
sion was not forthcoming. and the
little unfortunates, friendless and
neglected, had to get along as best
they could, save%s they were now
and then assisted by some private
individual.
For the idea Of the sacredness of
Childhood thought that is so
masterful in the present time-the
people of antiquity had but a trif-
ling regard.
Many Of the greatest thinkers Of
Greece and Rome. the foremost
moulders of the public opinion and
sentiment of their day, had no ten
derness in their souls for child
hood as such Its innocence, its
helpiessness, made but a weak ap-
peal to their sympathy and love.

The Education of the Voter
No. I6.---The President Not an Individual
With Arbitrary Power, But the Representa-
tive of the People by Whom He Is Paid.
By THOMAS TAPER.

These. the principal duties of the
president. are clearly set forth in
the constitution. The office makes
of him a world figure. He takes his
place beside kings and potentates
of whatever name.
He is not an individual With sF-
bitrary power. He is the represent
tative of millions of individuals.
with powers that are especially de-
signed and bestowed to secure for
every one whom he represents the
full blessings of citizenship.
You have only to picture this man
as representative of one hundred
millions of people doing business
with congress, with the nine de-
partments of our national activity,
through the members of his cabi-
net, meeting the representatives of
every nation on earth commanding
army and navy, allotting thousands
of positions to office holders. APP
pointing proper representatives to
foreign nations. and without speci-
flying further the activities of his
Office you can appreciate the pro-
priety of a convention opening with
prayer
But it is doubtful if you can see
the fitness of cat calls. wells. Kisses
and the rumble of any kind of a
roller, steam or otherwise.
For all that is demanded of him.
the president of the United States
receives a salary and he gets a.
reputation. The salary is fixed at
seventy five thousand dollars per
annum. The reputation is largely,
though not wholly of his own max
ing. Yet no position so open to pub
lie scrutiny can be so influenced by
conditions that the man himself
does not shine through. He may be
assisted in his endeavors or he may
be thwarted but his stand on cues
tions, great or small allows him to
show the people. without doubt or
uncertainty, what sort of stuff he

own adornment that his money was
spent.
While husband has the right,
however. to demand an accounting
from his wife for the money she
spends on the household, it is an in
vasion Of her personal liberty, and
an impertinent interference, for
him to even ask to know what she
did with her own allowance. That
is hers to do with as she pleases.
and he lacks something of being
gentleman If he presumes to keep
any espionage over her in the mat
ter.
That most wives have no personal
allowance. and never a penny that
they may do with as they like, is
only too true, and it does more than
any other one thing to account for
the restessness and discomfort
among married women. To grown
up woman it is as much gall and
NORWOOD to be financially depend
ent as It would be to a man. and it
is the smouldering bitterness en-
gendered by this state of affairs
that makes many a marriage a fail

\ MAN who is A methodical,
~ careful. business like person,
trained to business accuracy,
complains bitterly that he can not
make his wife keep books.
He makes her a generous allow

right that she should make an ac-

every penny went. and because she
refuses to do this there is endless
pickering and quarrelling between
the two

However ! am quite aware that
this Is no proper way to view the

vigorously set down, and see how
they wasted a quarter for cigars
here. and fifteen cents for drinks
there. and nickel for chocolate
creams in another place. and a dol
lar and a half for a neck fixing
somewhere else, must get a day of
judgment jolt that is good for their
souls and makes for economy. Ger
tainly we never realize how much

Undoubtedly the account book

and so on.
1t is easy to see how much better
and more intelligently a woman can
manage a household who goes about
ii in this systematic manner, and
whose accurately kept books show
her just where she stands. than
she can if she adopts the hit-or-
