Just What You
Should Decide.

When the parties have held their
conventions. and 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. solemnIy swear that I will
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-
stitution of the United States"
The Inauguration is a more SOL
emn occasion than the conventions.
The seriousness of the business to
be done Stares the man in the face.
And new period of our history.
four years later, stares you. as one
of its citizens, in the face.

By DOROTHY DIX

in as slap-dash a 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. mas
much as marriage is a partnership
in which the husband supplies the
money for running the home, and
the woman does the active work Of
making the home il is nothing
more than fair that the Wife should
keep a 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
