1ied him dreamed Of having, and the
wonder Of il is that more women whose
husbands never talk TO them and never
try TO entertain them, and never evince
the slightest interest in them, don't
hunt up some other man who VIII
make himself agreeable.
Respect for Personal Liberty.
A wife has a right to expect that
her husband will respect her personal
liberty as she does his.
Liberty in marriage does not
mean license" any more than II does
anywhere else. 1t simply means InaL
a wife should have just as much right
to freedom Of thought and act within
the prescribed bounds Of prOpriety
az a husband has
Matrimony is bound to be a series
OF concessions, but because a woman
IS married is no reason why she should
be forced to sacrifice her own person
allty and become a weak echo OF her
husband. Provided she does not eN-
coed her allowance she should have
the privilege of spending ner money
as she likes, and so long as she does
not run the thing into the ground ana
interfere with her husbands comfort
she should have the right to join what
ever clubs she pleases or pass ner
leisure in the manner most agreeable
To herself.
A husband soon begins TO hate the
wife who policies his every move, and
a wife entertains pretty much the same
feeling toward the husband to whom
she has to 90 FOR permission Tor eF-
cTything she does, as il she were a
child The tyrant on the hearthstOne
is never loved, no matter what the
sex.
A woman has a right to expect that
her husband viii do his share toward
making a happy home. It's big job,
making a happy home. It's more than
any one person can do. and especially
it's more than any woman can do
alone.
HUsband's Aid In Making Home Happy.
A woman has a right to expect her
husband TO help her make a happy
home. The old recipes for the con-
tell the wife to 20 about with a glad,
sweet smile and TO keep all Of her lit
tic worries out of sight That's good
az far as IL goes, but IL doesn't go far
CROUCH, for no woman can make q
happy home. even though she grins
like a Cheshire cat, II the man of the
house is surly and grOuchy or swear
ing around like blue blazes, or if he
makes his home a dumping ground Tor
all the accumulated nerves and wOr-
RES Of the day.
It's just as much a mans part to
smile as il is a WOman's. 1t is just
as much Up TO the husband 70 make
some active effort toward making the
home happy as il is the wife and when
ever you find a real bright, sunshiny
home. take my word for it you are go
ing TO find some big cheerful man in
it. doing his share Of the radiation OF
good cheer.
That's the Rind Of a husband that
every woman has got a right TO ex-
pect; but. on, me. oh, my. what a rare
animal he is

The silence OF the press and the peo-
pie Of this country during the past
four years, in full view of the foreign
policy OF our president and state de-
partment is something astonishing.
Congress, which could reverse such
policy. is silent in its iniquity. Sena-
tor FAN has made an imperishable rec
ord in his forcible presentation of the
Mexican situation, but seemingly can
not arouse the senate to action. No
senator on the issue, so, for the first
time in American history our citizens
IN Mexico are made the victims Of ev-
cry form of crime and insult without
any prospect OF redress
A strange doctrine is abroad in the
iand-that our citizens in foreign coun-
tries are spectators and interlopers
and are not entitled to protection, al
though all our treaties bear a solemn
guarantee for protection The Monroe
doctrine, which has stood as notice to
all the powerful nations on earth dur
ing the critical period Of our national
existence, has become a byword and 2
jest under the administrations Of Taft
and Wilson Wilson is called Puri-
tan. It is enough TO make those grand
old characters turn in their graves. All

the opinion that his wife has not the
