greatly changed since the ritual was
written more than three centuries ago
She was then looked upon more as the
yassal, or the property of her husband
than she is in the twentieth century
Her wishes we're seldom consulted
The husband was the lord and master.
That idea of partnership, OF the per-
feet quality of the sexes, OF husband
and wife as Joint makers of the home
was not so common then as it is now.
Probably nine-tenths OF women to-
day enter upon the marriage state win
tho resolution to submit to the will OF
their husbands in the domain where
he is naturally best qualified to judge
But in their own realm, in the home,
at the family altar, they expect to be
first. However, if the marriage is to
be a success, if it's romance is to en-
dure and they are to walk through lie
hand in hand, and make marriage what
it should be there must be mutual
help, mutual confidence, and mutual
respect. Neither must implicitly obey
the other. They must in all respects
be equal partners; the rights of one
entitled to as much consideration as
the rights of the other. The word
obey implies the opposite. 1t should
be removed.

ALTERATION, except for the talent.
That type of religion has always been
successful, has always drawn the

religion of the bargain counter, or of
the contract, the quid pro quo, exactly
as Our correspondent would have it.
You do this for God or the church,
and God or the church will do this
for you And as long as people be-
lieved it, they were religious, and the
synagog and church did not lack in
patrons.
It is SO even now. AS is we'll
known, the only churches that are
we'll patronized, and not merely as
matter of fashion, are the Christian
Science and the Catholic churches.
The Christian Science church offers

come. Any other religion that has
something similar to offer (that OF
Voliva, or Billy Sunday, for example)
has the same success. Does our cor
respondent wish the rabbis to do
something like it? They would be
thankful for some definite practical
suggestions along that line. Until
such suggestions are forthcoming the
rabbis will have to go on in their
modest way, complaining of the unre-
sponsiveness of the people, without
admitting, however, that they are fail
ures themselves. For according to
the standard of our age, which u1-
doubtedly is the standard of our cor

makes an honest living in this world,
and does something useful at the
same time, he is not a failure.

i, 1910 certain statesmen Of the United

certain statesman today. At that time
Europe was afiame with the Napoleon
lc Wars, and John Randolph Of Vlr-

Two years afterward Randolph's i'm
passable fosse was crossed by hostile

It is probable that in all his public career Charles F. Hughes never faced a more ticklish proposition than ap- poal1ng to those who have resented President Wilson's course toward Ger many, and at the same time standing by his assertion that the president didn't go far enough. If he insists on voicing the Chicago platform attack, the Roosevelt attack, and the repub- ]ican newspaper attack that the presi- dent did not give the Kaiser hail Columbia, then he Offends those friends of the fatherland whose votes he is mighty anxious to get. If he ooesn't take such stand, and attempts 10 coddle sympathizers of Germany by giving them the impression that he in the White House would favor Germany
 instead of observing President Will sons strict neutrality, then he an- tagonizes a much larger element of his party which at least believes in America first
