after four months Of married life that
the couple realize that the marriage

subtle, intangible barrier which

have married at first. The Indian and

Many of the arguments usually gd

BY curious twist OF fate Whitaker

stamps its great underlying strength. 1t IS the en-
thusiasm with which the rank and file are aligned in
the movement that is the great promise OF its sure
and strong advance. The effort which has been made
and the endeavor that is planned is directly to secure
the human rights which were fundamentally at the
source of the party's foundation. The program of
legislation for beterment of conditions as presented
in the addresses furnish ample proof that what is
done is constantly and aggressively that which will
help the people and will meet their real needs.

Bought and Paid For' Stirs
Hearts of Those Who See
Play for First Time.

Two phases of everyday life, one
which intimately concerns a very rich
young man. and the other-that more

So ingeniously contrasted In dramatic

from the rise to the fall Of the curtain.
Separation Prevented.

Acting Is Excellant.

of proprietorship, portrays the har-

credit for an unusually rational and

PRESIDENT WILSON'S INAUGURAL.

President Wilson's inaugural address mas the
merit of breviy 1t is brief enough to be read by all
newspaper readers and this is distinct advantage
over most inaugural addresses.
What Mr. Wilson says in this first message to the
people of America, is not startlingly definite For
the most part it breathes of REFORM note of uplft
pevades the entire effort. 1t is much the sort OF
utterance we frequently get from the pulpits of the
country In definite way it specifies the tariff as
chief of the iniquities and crimes of a benighted
system The President. further bames our money
system and our wastefulness nation. The ad-
dress does not make if clear how these niquities
are to be overcome Tne outworking of reforms will
naturally be development, and in the absence of a
positive clear cut knowledge of how they can be
effected the indefinite treatment of the subjects is
commendable in our new Executive.
Save for its brevity, however, there is nothing
striking about the message 1t says nothing to give
courage and confidence TO industry and finance II
lays down no lines for constructive craftsmanship.
1t has no note ringing with the dominancy of genuine
leadership. On the other hand, the message is not
seriously disturbing What Mr.. Wilson said con-
cernng tine tariff he has said before, and it does not
foreshadow more drastic Legislation against it than
we had right to expect when we elected him Presi-
dent All in all the message does not reveal very
clearly what the outworking of the Wilson Admins
tration will be, other than in uplift and reform.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE LADIES! !!

For the splendid, coorfu beautiful, and unique
pageant that they presented yesterday afternoon the
leaders of tine suffrage movement are entitled to
more than congratulations. They demonstrated thai
when it comes to political demonstrations, the ladies'
though not so experienced in the business, know a
good many things very much worth while, that the
men seem never to have thought about.
1t was altogether good thing for the suffrage
cause that the demonstration provided impressive
contrast of masculine nefficiency and feminine el-
cheney The outrageous failure of the Police De-
partment to do its duty properly and the Ill-man-
nered exhibition of a josting, boorish crowd OF
roughs along the Avenue, provided sombre back
ground against which the organization, earnestness
and determination of the women stood out IN most
effective contrast
Whatever took place to mar the occasion was
testimonial to the incapacity-or worse-of the
stronger sex. Everything that helped to make the
occasion the SPLENDID success that it was testified to
the real strength and capabiiy of the weaker SEX

PARTY PLEDGES ON CANAL TOLLS.

The new Democratic Congress will be confronted
by the alternative of rejecting the party platform
pledge in favor of exempting American coastwise
ships from Panama canal tolls or of flying in the
face of overwhelming public opinion The situation
illustrates as few other things have done the folly of
delegating to few shirtsleeved men the duty of
Matching platform overnight in the stress of a
national nominating convention.
When this platform was hurriedIy read in the
convention at midnight and rushed through without
dissenting vote, the question of canal tolls was not
seriously considered. A provision for exempting
coastwise ships had been inserted in the canal bill
and passed. Ii was defended form of subsidy
which would stimulate American shipping greatly
But now from one end of the country to the other
there is chorus of opinion that blunder has been
committed that transportation of coastwise commerce
by way of the canal is much cheaper than railroad
service across the continent that subsidy in the
form of exemption from tolls will go into the pockets
Of the steamship combine without lowering rates to
the public and that the deficit in tine cost of main-
taining the canal must come from the purse of the
American taxpayer. .
But If exemption can be defended from the Dem
ocratc platform as a text so anti-exemption
Separated from the exemption plank by only two
sentences is declaration against "bounties sub
sides from the public treasury" for ships. Can
there be any doubt that remission of canal tolls is
a subsidy especially since Secretary Knox has ad-
vanced that plea in mis- communication to the British
government? The platform, therefore, may be a
real refuge for Democratic statesmen who try
ing to get on the right side, as we'll defense for
those on the other side.
