Fair Play for the Young Husband.

The following editorial from Pictori-
en- to heart as true in every case or in
any great majority of cases, but it
has elements of truth that should
cause June brides to think seriously
if they are ready always to do their
part:
All popular belief to the contrary
notwithstanding, marriage is just as
serious a step for the man as for the
woman. There have been moments
when his mind has been filled with
assailed the bride A woman thrilling
with love loses all fear of the future.
The man knows that the happiness Of
their marriage depends largely on his
own efficiency in planning and making
their joint future.
If the bride realizes that she is ex-
changing irresponsible girlish pleas
ures for wifely duties, the groom
knows he is giving up bachelor free
dom for a husbands Difference to wife
ly and public opinion. The bride
promises to love, honor and obey, yes.
but the husband at the very altar
proves that he intends to bow to her
wishes, her preferences, when he sub
jects himself to all the terrors of this
public ceremony before scores or hun
dreds of critical eyes.
The grewn-up male creature is born
with spirit of independence, firm
belief in his individual rights. He may
love his mother and obey her instruc-
tons, but he does not like to be ques-
toned about his actions when he has
been away from her. And the sensi-
BILE mother accepts but does not force
condolences. He has had to account
to nobody concerning his earnings,
nor his hours of recreation. But whea
he marries, all this is apt to be chang
ed. in the average home. the income
is spent by the wife. The average
wife also demands an accounting of
hours which her husband spends away
from home. The accounting may or
may not satisfy her.
There is a cynical ola saying that
for women. marriage is the beginning
of living; for men it is the end. This
is largely because the girl is under
the domination of her parents, until
marriage endows her with a certain
amount of freedom, while the man Who
has been comparatively tree from pa
rental supervision loses most of mis-
freedom when he becomes husband.
The bride knows that in this day of
progressive womanhood. the word
obey in the marriage ceremony is
empty and idle. The man knows that
domestic happiness is largely depend
emf upon the husbands willingness to
defer to the wishes of his wife.
Such are likely to be the thoughts
which float through the mind of the
bridegroom as he stands beside the
clergyman at the chancel, watching
the Whitehead figure moving down the
aisle, straight into his life, there to re-
main 90 long as they both shall live.
And such are the thoughts passing
through the minds of other men, down
there in the pews. as they look at the
straight, black-clad figure behind the
chancel railing. waiting for the COM
ing Of his bride. The women are
thinking of the brides gown; the men
of the groom's future happiness
Which will it be?

The Difference.

According to the Lewiston Journals
previous editorial utterances, former
President Roosevelt is now a deep
dyed "standpat." He is unequivo-
cally and forcefully for free coastwise
shipping through the canal. Very
estimable men of the United States
Senate have been denounced as
"standpat" with the implication in the
literary surroundings that the WORD
conveyed every characteristic of hui
man cussedness. Former Secretary OF
State Knox expressed the same senti'
ments concerning canal tolls, and is
all kinds of scoundrel; Mr.. Roose-
welt, for the same cause, is a hero
Odd, isn't it?

Editorial Comment.
Nobody knows-but Mother,
(Kansas City JournaD

(kanSas City JournaD
All over this great country millions
of mothers are pouring into the cur
rents of the nations life the strong
tide of their devotion, laying upon it's
altar the sacrifice which goes nearer
to heaven than any prayer that hu-
man lips have ever framed. The sac
riflce often passes unnoticed by those
for whom it is offered, but it's incense
sWeetens every human soul, and while
the tribute often comes sadly late, in
after years, when the tired hands have
been forever folded and the tired
heart is at rest, yet it comes, comes
even in remorseful remembrance. 1t
comes in the loving acknowledgment
of filial Indebtedness; comes in lives
made stronger and better and sweet
er for the sacrifice; comes in fiow-
ers, whether the white carnations of
Mothers day or the immortelles that
blossom only in the heart of loving
son and daughter. Mothers reward
is sure, for God has put it into her
heart and soul; the shrine at which
she worships in obedience to the holt
est instincts of womanhood is her
compensation, and though frequent and
loving appreciation is sweet to her, yet
if childish thoughtfulness withholds
what manhood and womanhood always
give, the compensation is none the less
assured.
This is the motherhood which should
be honored today and every day of
all the years, the motherhood which
loves and tolls and sacrifices during
the unending round of daily ministra-
ton, whose trials and struggles none
but mothers know.

Army officials are at last admitting
that the conditions for the enlisted
men must be made more attractive, or
as some put it--less irksome. The
regulations have been modified so that
minor offence prisoners will no longer
be placed under the eyes of an armed
guard. Extra duty men will be I'M

and in some cases will be simply put
on their honor to perform certain
tasks. All humiliating features of
punishment are to be cut out as far as
possible. Guard duty is to be re-
duced by cutting down the number of
fixed posts. The same reforms are
to be applied to the National Guard.

Better Get Down to Facts.

The Hon Halbert P. continues to
misstate the facts. He did so at the
Progressive county convention in Au-
gusta. We presume he will continue
to do so when it suits the political
expediency" of his campaign, for he
is a very busy man. At Augusta
Mr.. Gardner declared, if he was un-
derstood Alright, that mo Republican
newspaper came to the defense of the
administration when those charges
against the Penobscot sheriff. were
made. One Republican organ, pub
Iished in this city, did rush in, where
real newspapers feared to tread, to
support it,
That statement was useless for Mr..
Gardner to make, because thousands
of people in this State, in spite of
his declarations and the Lewiston
Journals parrot like repetitions and
unjournalistic methods. know the con-
trary.
These people know, and Mr.. Gard
ner knows, that there has been no
disposition on the part of any Re-
publican newspaper or anyone con-
nected with the State administration
to uphold the Penobscot sheriff. if he
is guilty of neglect of duty) or the
Bangor plan" Mr.. Gardner also
knows with thousands of others, that
what he is pleased now to repeatedly
misstate as support" of Sheriff
o'Connell, has never been anything
but determination on the part of
the Kennebec Journal to convict Mr..
O'Connell if he can be proven guilty.

against his service or lack of service,
we believed he should be deemed in

Gardeners unsupported declarations

repetition of such misstatements
against the Kennebec Journal, for it

is read. In every part of Maine the
people know what the Journal de-
manded of Hr. Gardner-to put up
something on which the Governor
could act, or shut up. That Mr. Gard
