The husband who nags is a person
growing just little too prevalent of
late years. He doesn't realize how
disagreeable he is, of course. II it
were pointed out to him, he would
probably say that it was a free coun.

to express his opinion in his own

But that is just where the born nag
ger makes a great mistake No one
has right to express an opinion if it
is going to cause pain and unhappi-
ness to others. The people who are
always Dragging about the wonderful
power of free speech are nearly al
ways selfish and thoughtless. For
freedom of speech, too often means the
opportunity to be rule and overbearing
