WHAT ABOUT T.R.?
His Nephew Says He'll Run for
President.
Colonies Friends Say 1t Is
News to Them.

Washington, June blication
of the statement, here of Theodore
Douglas Robinson that his uncle, Col.
Theodore, Roosevelt would be a cam
didate for president in 1920. attracted
attention today in Republican sena-
toria1 quarters.
Senator Weeks of Massachusetts,,
who has been mentioned more than
once as presidential possibility said:
IT'S too long ahead to talk. Be-
fore 1920 we may have a military hero
as a candidate. The men who come
back from the war will run this coun-
try and they will take the/ elections
into their hands. 1t may be that some
governor of a state will attract atten-
ton to himself by his deeds long be-
fore election time. It's too far away
to talk about it,
Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah, said:
II don't believe Colonel Roosevelt has
come out. 1t is not the time for anybody
to come out now. This is war time. and
the elections are long time away"

sections of the country would give New

Senator New, of Indiana knew nothing

Brandegee, said he had not heard Of actual

Senator Hiram johnson, of California, a
close friend of the former president. said
he had heard nothing of any declaration
that Colonel Roosevelt had said he would

a dollar than he does. 1t isn't be-
cause he thinks he saves anything by
doing out the money penny by penny
to her, or having things charged on
a bill, because he knows that both
ways make for unwise spending.
It's just because SO long as his wife
never has a dollar of her own. she is
just as much fettered to her meal
ticket as any slave ever was lashed to
his galley oar She can't even think
a thought without reference to her
master, or take street car ride with
out his kind permission.
Why does a married woman who Is
of mature age and good sense and
Judgment have to ask her husbands
permission to buy new hat or dress.
or go on a weeks trip to visit her
mother? It is because her husband
allows her no personal freedom. and
the queer part of it is that he Is SD
accustomed to thinking Of matrimony
as a state of bondage that it never
even occurs to the man that he is in
flicting cruel and inhuman hardship
on his wife, and that she beats her
wings against the bars of her cage, no
matter how much he had gilded them.

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BY MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. thompson: I am seven
teen years old and have been going
with a girl about a year. She al
ways seemed to like me, but lately
she has been going out with soldiers
and does not seem to like my COM
pany. I dropped her. Did I do right :?
DOUBTFUL.
Since she did not seem to like your
company there was not much you
could do besides drop her. When a
girl does not enjoy a boy he would
be foolish to spend his time with
her.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: There is a
man friend of mine and every time
he sees me on the street he stops anc
talks to me and wants to walk home
with me. Do you think he cares for
me? DIMPLES
He likes you apparently. but he
does not care great deal or he
would ask permission to call on you
and to take you places.
Dear Mrs Thompson: "a Should
a widow lay aside her wedding RIM
when she becomes engaged the sec
ond time?
ca Should she use her given name
in writing letters, signing checks
and so forth? Or should she use her
husbands initials? IN DOUBT.
% She should lay aside her we'd
ding ring when she becomes engaged
again.
CD 1t is a matter of preference
whether widow uses her given
name or her husbanc's initials. When
a widow becomes engaged again
should think she would prefer to use
her given name.

How MuchLLiberty Should Husbands
and Wives Allow Each Other?-1.
The question of how much liberty
husbands and wives should allow

husband nor wife has the slightest in

other part to draw a single free
breath if he or she can prevent it. =

Under the names of duty, love and

Secretary Baker says America has
more than 100000 soldiers in France.
The indications are that but a few
thousands of&hese are on the fighting
line. General Foch's strategy seems
to consist in using no more troops
than are absolutely necessary to pre-
vent the Huns from making rapid
progress. In the meantime the foe
is being slaughtered by thousands and
is getting farther and farther from
his base. The situation up to this time
affords no cause for worry.

LOCKADE B YBRITAIN
GROWS MORE SEVERE
Neutral Shipping Forced to Lend
Hand to Allies.

London, March 2S.-(Correspond-
ence OF The Associated Press.) )-
The blockade is one of the most
important weapons in the hands OF
the allies asserts the British wal
cabinet. Dealing with the develop
meut and amplihcation OF the block
adc OF Germany in 1917, the cabinet
says in its annual report just made
public:
The chief method by which thi,
amplifcation has been effected has
been the conclusion Of series OF
agreements with neutral shipping
companies. The weapon in the
background during such negotia-
tons has been the British control
Of bunker facilities and the power,
welded by the inter-allied charter
ing committee.
"A very considerable amount OF
success can fairly be claimed for the
policy In the Far East the German
commercial establishments have
been almost completely destroyed
and recent events will probably
make it possible to complete the
work.
