We must have the strength which

Our preparation must be industrial

racy, patriotism and national strength
must be rooted in even-handed JUS
tice. In preventing, as we must, un-
just determinations and monopolistic
practices, we must still be Jealous to
assure the foundations of honest bus
mess.
Particularly should we seek the ex-
pansion Of foreign trade. We must not
throttle American enterprise here or
abroad, but rather promote it and take
pride in honorable achievements.
I'VE must take up the serious prob
lens Of transportation, of interstate
and foreign commerce in a sensible
and candid manner and provide an
enduring basis for prosperity by the

want to look up to my husband, Of
course" she says, ''but l don't want to
have to look SO far that / fall over
backwards"
Poor Billy Bartlett agonizes over the
problem. He would like to be less
good to her, if she wanted him to, but
he doesn't know how. He couldn't pos
sibly love another woman. He would
drink if he could, but he came of a
long line Of total abstainers, and so he
can't fan up a taste for drink. He
doesn't know how to smoke, and would
probably choke to death trying to
learn.
Surely she doesn't want him to neg
lect his business and let them both go
hungry. And, to save him, he can't
stay up late at night, because at ten
thirty he goes fast asleep, no matter
where he is. He always had been just
like this. He couldn't see how to
improve.
Laura merely repeats that she is
bored to tears, and that she viii die Of
stagnation if she doesn't leave him.
Just here enters the man whose wife
is devoted to him. To hear him tell it.
his marriage is q success because he
keeps his wife in a constant state of
agitation about him. She is a gentle
homebody, never daring to leave the
family freside without him. patiently
waiting till he returns loving him rap
turously because he does return. after
her long terms Of anxious watching.

their husbands all the variety and ad-
venture that husbands find in their
homes plus their business, plus their
clubs and their sports. This is why
the demand for the model wife is SO
much greater than that for the model
husband
"Ihat, also, think, is why the man
who is attractive to all other women
is attractive to his wife. Through his
importance in the world she feels that
her own is increased. And there is
no question about it-importance is de-
ternined by how many people are ac-
lively interested in yen, and mostly by
how many are Of the opposite sex!
although I have had my youngsters
in Fair and Warmer make great to-
do over the efficiency of jealousy in
these cases of bored wives and bored
husbands, I refuse to let them solve
their difficulties by means of jealousy,
because l don't think it is as important
as it's cracked up to be. The thing
which really comes to Laura, after the
total collapse of Billy's good behavior
is the mother-instinct 1t is that which
intrigues her. and keeps her willing,
finally. to forgive him. Z
with the other pair. too. it is not
jealousy which brings about their So
luton. It is the mans protective in
stinct, and the tremendous love he has
for her. which keeps him in line, even
before he has learned of her innocence.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1916-12-04

This sounds like fatal heresy to Billy,
but he is bound to admit that Jacks
wife wouldn't leave him for the sun,
the moon and the stars, and that his
own wife is even at the moment pack
ing UP her things. In the face Of this
proof of his own errors he agrees to
try Jacks methods and see if he can
hold his wife by a course Of misbe-
haviOr.
When Mr.. Hopwood was approached
to solve this problem, incidentally not
quite solved in the course of his play,
he said that, although he didn't want
to take sides, he thought man could
lose his wife more quickly by being
too good to her than he could by being
too bad to her.
''Of the two, the good man loses" he
says. Il agree with you that that is a
distressing fact 1t is one which theo-
retically | cannot explain. But long
observation has proved it to me. l
suspect that it is because there is not
much variety in goodness. A man
who is always, invariably, good to
his wife. and who has no distracting
vices, large or small, presents her with
a pretty monotonous outlook. Most
women see life through the eyes of
their husbands. They live only such
lives as their husbands can find time
and inclination to share with them.
They have no outside interests except
in unusual cases.
1.-THE result is that they must find in

than one of it's interested hearers takes
the subject up in all seriousness, after
the laughs are done.
For Mr.. Hopwood's part, he has done
all he could in Fair and Warmer" to
give the subject full hearing on both
sides.
When the hearing is over, the mod
ell Husband" hasn't much to say for
himself. But perhaps Mr.. Hopwood is
wrong. y
His play begins with domestic trag-
edy. 1t is, in brief. that Laura Bart
lett is so bored with the everlasting
goodness of her husband that she vows
to divorce him. She fries vainly to ex-
plain to him that the single mindedness
of his devotion is driving her mad. II

Isidor Phillips. a member Of the club,
took exception to the address he had
just heard. saying that, while it might
be the speakers opinion. it was not the
opinion Of the organization.
President Dole pointed out that the
club had listened out Of Difference to a
guest, though 1t was always against its
policy to hear personal words Of that
kind, unless the individual referred to
was present and could answer back.
The chief address of the afternoon
was given by President Dole on the

members gathered round him to ex-
press their good wishes.

which he could not but feel was very
real-the danger of the division Of the

said. 1--WE still have Toryism, and it is
what in religion you call Phariseeism.
There are a great many people who do
not believe In democracy. Full of fears
and suspicious, they do not trust the
common people. They regard them
selves as superiors to the newcomers.

ger threatening us from these false
aristocrats than from the newcomers.

NO SECRET AGREEMENT

Ms Wilcox, on his arrival at Montclair.
announced that he had called to confer
with Mr.. Hughes concerning the last
trip and the iteniary for the next one.
Early in the evening Col. George Har-
vey called and paid his respects to Mr..
Hughes. Col. Harvey was not present
at the conference between Mr.. Hughes
and Wilcox.
The statement issued by the Democrat
ic committee was read over the tele-
phone to Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Wilcox by
ar employee Of the Republican National
committee, into whose hands a copy had
fallen about 9 o'clock 1t was then
taken down by a stenographer, over the
telephone and transcribed. With the
transcription before them. Hughes and
Wilcox prepared the statement which
Mr.. Wilcox issued.
The committee which saw Mr.. Hughes
included, beside O'Leary, Will r. Mac
Donald of New York, Carl E. Schmidt of
Detroit. chairman of the local committee.
O'Leary was shown a copy of the
charges made by the Democratic COM
mittee at the close of an address he
made here tonight in which he de-
nounced the Wilson administration. He
expressed surprise and at first said he
had nothing to say" Later, however,
when asked if he had ever discussed
the British blacklist with Mr.. Hughes,
he said:
Il never did submit any such ques-
ton to Charles E. Hughes"
O'Leary refused to discuss the state
ment further.

was not a member of the club and was
present at the meeting only as guest,

The president of the club, the Rev.

second time called Prof. Muensterberg

Mr.. Stanton began by explaining that

the women Of France were not doing
