Mr.. Bailey Out Of Politics.

Former Senator Bailey promptly sets
at rest a report associating his name
with the governorship of Texas. In a
letter on the subject to friend he
says:
Il say to YOU frankly | would not
accept an election as Governor OF Texas
if it were rendered to me with practical
unanimity, because I have no experience
i'm executive affairs and l am not con-
iident / could make such governor as
Texas deserves to have.
This is not good reasoning. Mr.. Bailey
had had no experience as a legislator
when he sought seat in Congress. But
both in the House and in the Senate he
demonstrated superior capacity for con-
gressional work. He rose to leadership
in both bodies In the time of his ac-
tivity in the House had his party carried
the country he would have been elected
Speaker: and. though never the titular.
he was the actual leader of the minority
in the Senate during his service there.
There are no duties devolving upon a
governor of Texas beyond Mr.. Bailey s
powers He would master them in short
order. and discharge them to the benefit
of the state His experience as legis-
+, lator would stand him in hand in his
work as an executive.
So capable a man IS Mr.. Bailey should
not be out of public life at this time.
His withdrawal from the Senate was a
loss to his party and to the country.
His gifts are in the line of politics. and
he has developed them thoroughly. AS
lawyer he ranks with the best. His
general reading is wide. and he knows
how to apply it. He speaks with re-
markable force.
At fifty-Mr. Bailey's aGe-a man in
politics is reckoned young; and espe-
| cially if he possesses physical vigor and
| to lie before him. and that much work
| is expected of him. But Mr.. Bailey has
| Quilted the field. and the public is so
much the poorer for the withdrawal of
his talents from its service.
! 1t so happens that, with the exception
| of the President. no merSbe of the
national administration had had any eX-
perience as an executive before entering
upon his present duties; and Mr. VIII
| sons experience was confined to a couple
| of years in the office of Governor of New
Jersey. From Mr.. Bryan down, the
others were new hands. But, at the
Presidents call. they came forward, and
are now wrestling each with the labors
| of great department of the government.
| Whether the President has chosen wisely.
or they as inexperienced men have acted
wisely i'm accepting his invitation, time
alone can ,ell.

The One Fault.

There was man

Whose every plan
Went to the bad.
he did not drink,
He did not swear.
Nor slyly wink
At sirens fair.
Ideals high
He would reveal.
He could not lie.
He did not steal.
His worth, you'd vow.
Was some thing strong.
And yet, somehow.
His luck went wrong.
The hoped-for bliss
He'd never clutch.
His fault was this:
He talked too much.

Debts of Honor.

1t needs no prophet to tell us that mar
riage often results in unhappiness.
But there cures for the ills of mar
riage-eyen such self-inficted ills as spite
marriage ills-and they are patience, endless
patience, fortitude, and unsetishness.
Are they not nobler who endure much who
control themselves and suffer and sacrifice to
spare their children the misery of a divided
home and to spare husband the revelation
of a trick marriage than they who throw all
sense of domestic liabilities to the winds and
rush madly after individual happiness?
A desire to have everything one wants, no
matter what the cost, soon brings refusal
to bear with anything
After a woman has given her promise to
love, honor, and obey is it not her duty to
blot out of her heart entirely every possible
element of discord? Otherwise on every little

such right as is consistent with the happiness
and well-being of all mankind"
Has the wife, then, the right to make a
confession to an unsuspecting husband-a con
fession that will destroy the husbands hap
piness and the happiness of innocent little
children?
Some one has defined a spite marriage as a
marriage rooted in selfishness and grounded
in dishonesty.
Is a confession, therefore. to the person
deceived a solution of the spite marriage prob
lem? Can lifetime of personal sacrifice ever
atone for the wrong done to husband by the
woman who deliberately enters the marriage
contract with lie on her lips and in Fer
heart?

Yes, write him a note inviting him to come
and call on you. 1t is courteous to tell the
young man when he is leaving that you would
be glad to have him call again. If he asks
you to go somewhere thank him for his cour-
tesy. A man usually takes a girls arm when
he helps her out of buggy. Unless you ar
rive home early in the evening it is not good
form to invite the young man into the house.

that you are net going to let yourself feel

are far too young to be unhappy over love

home to carry me to and can quit travelling,

go from place to place without a home Is
it right that l should insist that he marry

The young man has the right idea in not
wanting to marry until he can afford de-
cent home. l really think it would be bet
ter for you to keep on with your work a
couple of years more. You would not improve
your condition if you were to sta.t housekeep-

life. And you are both young enough to wait

such sentiment that only engaged couples

ask the girl if she is ready to start to church.
