..ToD1, REILLY's FINE SPEECH.

There were some good speeches in Kensington Saturday, in fact all were good and the audience, which was the largest the old town has ever had, except at the fair, was highly pleas ed. Residents of Berlin used to come to New Britain to hear George F. Mo Lean before he became a United States senator and since, so that his voice was not new to them nor did his inspiring words fail to awaken responsive throb in their hearts. They knew Tom Reilly better, knew him when he lived here where he went to school and where his successful news paper career had it's beginning on the old Observer then a weekly and the now congressman a boy. He made a fine address, filled with pa- triotic sentiment and an abiding affec- ton for the veterans, for the brave men who left Kensfngton when the great fratricidal strife was threaten ing the life of the country and break ing human hearts It was d nice thing for New Britain man after so many years to return to the moth CT town to make an address upon the fftieth anniversary of the erection of the first soldiers monument in the United States.-NeW Britain Herald

Who Should Love Most, Man or Wife?

VUyHICH should love most
M/ the husband or the wifeI
w OF course, the real an
swer to this question is. neither.
Both husband and wife should
bring to the holy estate every bit
OF devotion of which they are ca
pable. The ideal marriage is one
In which man and woman alike
love. and are loved. to the very
measure OF their desire. In which
they give with a lavlshness that
knows no stint and receive with
a generosity that has no bounds.
Unfortunately however, this
dream Of perfect mutual love rare
ly materializes in actual life, and
It Is only too true that with the
great majority OF married couples
the loving is a pretty onesided af-
fair. One kisses-and the other
permits himself. or herself to be
kissed. as a French cynic aptly
puts It.
In one family we see wife
breaking the alabaster casket Of
her love and burning the incense
Of her devotion at the feet of a
man who is so Indifferent that he
scarcely troubles to throw kind
glance in her direction, as one
might toss a bone to a hungry dog.
In other homes we see n great
souled man lavishing a splendid
devotion on q heartless and selfish
woman. We see him touing Ike

and make life soft and easy for her.

affections. Moreover, men do not
probe into their emotions, nor
dwell on them, and so, II 8 mans
wife is agreeable and pleasant and
makes him a good home, he's Just
as fond of her and as happy with
her as If she had been the original
maiden of his dreams. Generally,
he's a good deal happier than he
would be II he were married to
woman who kept him always on
the anxious seat trying to please
her.
Inasmuch as practically every
woman spends her life seeking love
It is paradoxical to say that she
is happier in giving love than
IN receiving 1t.
But such is the case. It is a
misfortune for a woman never to
have been loved, but It is
tragedy to her never TO love.
The great argument in favor of
giving women the right to select
their own mates is that the woman
who marries the man she wants
is always satisfied and contented,
" AAEA Cdb llAG NOAldu VIII 10 iOl NCu
to take the man she can get rather
than the one she prefers is always
dissatisfied and restless, no matter
what a paragon he may be.
The woman who loves is inYari-
ably a good wife, because she not
only finds her greatest pleasure
in ministering TO her husband, but
she Is always breaking her neck
trying to please him. She is for
ever on her good behavior because
she is forever wooing him.
No other wife on earth is such
a husband spoiler as the woman
who knows that she loves her
husband better than he does her.
Any man who desires a cinch In
matrimony does well 10 accom-
parg 20 ;he alt.- .he girl who has
hunted him dewp rather than the
Atlanta Georgian., 1913-10-18

one he has pursued and captured
himself.
Nor need the woman be afraid
to take her end of the unequal
matrimonial bargain, for she will
be 80 busy and occupied with her
own affections that she won't have
time to observe any lack in the
mans. After all, 1t really doesn't
matter what you get in matri-
moDy II it's what fires your fancy.
It's merely a matter Of taste.
If either the husband or the wife
shall love the better, 1t is for the
good Of the family that It shall
be the wife. No man can make
happy and comfortable home.
That rests with the woman. If a
woman does not love her husband
she makes a home that is full Of
quarrels and spats, of complaining
and repining, Of restlessness and
dissatisfaction. Unconsciously she
teaches her children disrespect for
their father and lack OF affection
for him. On the other hand. the
woman who Is passionately de-
voted to her husband makes a
home that is full of rest and peace,
and her children grow up to rev
erence and respect their father.
Also biologists teach US that a
woman's love for her husband de-
termtnes to q great extent the
quality, mental and physical, Of
the children she bears, so that
love children are proverbially
handsomer and more talented
than the little unfortunates that
are born Of hatred or indifference.
Undoubtedly If either one should
love the more it is the woman;
but the pity of it all is that all love
should not be equally great, and

Homes for End Of "Homework. !"

Hopes for End of Homework"
To the Editor of the Evening Star;
At a recent gathering Of high
school principals and teachers many
school problems were discussed, but
the matter which attracted my at
tention most, In reading an account
Of the meeting in your paper, was
the home study question. There can
be no doubt that the old system of
imposing from two TO five hours
home study on a child at night is
decidedly wrong.
The new system of arranging
studies that is being carried out in
our Central High School is one which
is meeting with favor on all sides.
The children are more satisfied with
their studies. teachers get better re-
suits and parents do not have to
listen to continual complaints. AL
| though the school hours are some-
what longer than under the old plan,
the children do not carry home a
pile of work to finish after dinner.
The ,new system makes the home
more congenial and gives parents an
opportunity to have the company of
their children during the evening.
Let's hope the new system will be
| improved until home study Is abol-
ished altogether A. PARENT.

is this lethargic condition that is
hardest hit by the plea of Judge Buff
fington for the college man to make
the most of his opportunities in help
ing his city, State and nation. 1t is
true that in the highest places today
are college-bred men. Some see their
opportunity late, as did President
Wilson. 1t was less than two years
ago-and he is now Sc years old
that he entered politics. 1t was
the awakening of the latent
powers of the statesman that
gave his ability to the service of the
nation. In the same way Supreme
Court Justice Charles E. Hughes, a
graduate of Brown University, was
for many years, lawyer little known
outside of the city of New York, until
his ability was discovered through an
insurance investigation, and he was
elected to the governors chair and
later named for the highest court
many of these instances through
out the length and breadth
of the country where college men
have been drafted into office after
their abilities had been discovered
through some channel other than
politics. We can accept either of
two deductions; %, that the value
of the man to the people is in the
fact that he had laid the foundation
for his service through his profess
sion or, 90. that the people at large
have been deprived of a service that
the man owed to his fellow beings.
The college-bred man is taught
throughout his entire course high
ethical standards, high ideas of
honor. If these become so firmly fixed
in his mind that popular passion or
clamor viii not cause him TO swerve
from his principles, then he Will be-
come a just man: should he be SC

FINDING THE SUCKER"

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside a contributor writes an en-
tertaining and informing article en-
titled 1.-The Inventor and the Patent
Game" He tells the following story:
II asked a patent lawyer of long
experience and unusual candor what
he thought about patents in general,
and he told. me this story
"'One time a man with an invention
brought it to me to get it patented.
I looked 1t up and advised him not to
do IT, 1t would cost him $50 to start
his proceeding. and nobody could say
how much to finish it. and the device
would be worth nothing anyhow. He
was immovable. At length / took his
money and got the patent pushed up
to the point of actual issue; then l
begged him once more not to take it
out; but he insisted, paid the fee and
took 1t.
He was seedy, hard up and out
at the elbows. 1 felt criminal, but
forgot It. Three years afterward l
was in his town, and he came down to
see me, driving to my hotel in huge
auto. He looked ready money all
over.
YOU'RE the man that started me
on the road to fortune" he said. 81
came to thank you"
'I gasped and asked him to ex
