TIME chief haunts to-day of the
grizzly. the most savage and
dangerous wild beast on the
North American continent, are in the
Canadian Rockies. In the coast range
near Lillooet, in British Columbia,
the writer and his companion, Jack
Rognon. a noted Alaskan "sour-
dough-" began their hunt one day in
May. The first part Of the trip con-
sisted of fifteen-mile hike straight
into a stretch Of country trod by very

The cry for more houses continues
to go up in Topeka but the houses
themselves do not follow the same di-
rection. Money in abundance is OBJ

body seems willing to undertake the
work of supplying the city's need.
An organization of some sort should
be formed for doing what individuals
refuse to do. Topeka's opportunity for
forging ahead is being permitted to
pass unheeded. 1t is useless to reach
out for more business unless we pro-
vide homes for those engaged in
carrying on that business.

James w. Sherwood, State mine in7
spector. in an interview on the coal
strike situation, is reported to have
delivered himself as follows:
IF the government gets smart and
tries to put over its bluff and threats.
there will be a revolution in two
weeks. What we need is to impeach
the president and to put some one with
sense and judgment in charge of
things"
Is Mr.. Sherwood an officer of the
state or an officer of the miners
union? He has demonstrated that he
cannot serve both Loyalty. He has
made it plain that he considers his
service due not to the people of Kan
sas. who pay him. but to a small part
of the people.
Under the circumstances, those who
are responsible for placing Mr.. Sher-
wood in office should see to it at once
that he gets out. So much for his re-
lations to the state of Kansas.
But when we come to his treason
ment of the United States: that is a
more serious matter. He not only
has richly earned a dose of the medi-
cine he recommended for the presi-
dent, but he should be placed where
any remarks of like nature that he
might choose to make in the future
would not be heard.
He may be right about the revoIu-
ton. 1t would bring quick ending
to a condition which rapidly is grow
ing intolerable. Revolution has been
tried in this country before. with dis
astrous results to the rebels. The law
abiding people of this country have an
effective way of dealing with that sort
of thing
Mr.. Sherwood's explanation that he
was not talking for publication does
not excuse him. What men say pri-
vately frequently is more dangerous
than what they say publicly

wiser, saner-more modulated in tenn
per and temperament.
Life should be taken very seriously
because it is the only life we have,
but we shouldn't let this one spoil US
and cheat us out of what is ours in
due
Let US be strenuous. Let US be so
dead in earnest that no one will mis-
take that we were meant for this life.
But let US keep our eyes open ami
watch where we step; for so long as
our first hundred years are bound to
be the hardest, let us not make them
too hard.
Every day we miss things that we
ought to have. Every day great things
are within our grasp and we walk past
them. Beauty is so timed in this
world tn 1t it flashes before The con-
sciousness' of every living person. Some
unfortunately are blind thru circum-
stance OF what not but most of US
have eyes with which to see

vice to be careful of our first hundred

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BY MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: My son, who
Is only 20 years old now. enlisted when
the United States went into the war
AT that time he was going with a
young girl whom his father and l did
not like. She is very silly and COM
mon Secretly my son married her
and did not tell us anything about it
until his return from France
He is working now, but making a
small salary to live on. Since he is
not of age. don't you think his father
and l should have the marriage an
nulled? You can see what KING of a
family hers is. because altho /she is
only a they favor the marriage.
What can we do? MOTHER.
Moral law should make it impos-
sible for you to have the marriage
annulled. Your son has married the
girl unwisely perhaps, but he has
married her nevertheless. Now you
and his father should help him in
every way to play the man. Loyd{ty
and sense of responsibility should
be expected Of him. The girl is very
young and undeveloped. With your
help and love she can develop into a.
very beautiful woman. Help the
young people in every way you can.

The federal trade commission
charges the meat packers with respon-
sibility for the high prices of hides,
leather and shoes. The commission
makes point of the fact that the
packers holdings of hides in 1917
were larger than normal, and accuses
the packers of boosting prices by
means of "hoarding." The packers
come back with an extract from a
statement by Henry B. Endicott. of
the Endicott-Johnson Shoe company.
as published in the Boston News Bu-
reau OF August IL, 1919. as follows:
when one realizes, that the hides and
skins that the packers control is a
small proportion-probab not one
tenth-of the hides and skins that are
used in the manufacture of shoes in
this country. and that hides and skins
come here from almost every country

Opponents OF, the peace treaty still
are relying upon the vote of the
thirty-nine Republican senators who
on March 4 last signed pledge to de-
feat it, to deliver the goods. This
body of "wIllful men" of course have
it in their power to throw away ev-
erythfng for which we entered the war
but it is doubtful that they will do it.
Their action was taken for partisan
reasons but they must realize by this
time that defeat of the treaty is GER
tain, to be a political boomerang. A
politician usually can be depended
upon to sacrifice his word in order
to save his political head. A retreat
from their position will be much cas-
ier for these senators to explain than a
vote against the treaty, when it comes
up for final action. 1t has been made
clearly apparent that no reservation
which will affec the treaty can be OBJ
tnined. TIE country cannot afford to
take chances for the purpose of saw
ing the faces of few partisan sena-
tors.

What Qualities Women Most Admire
i'm Man.


What Qualities Women Most Admire
in Man..
On the other hand. there is no
other quality in a man that woman
despises as she does weakness. a
man might commit every crime or
the calendar and not be as loathson1e
in a woman's eyes as he is when he is
simply no account and inefficient. To
be a weakling without the stamina te
even put up a fight with life is the
sin of sins to woman.
If you could look into womans
heart YOU would see that she would
rather be married to a successful
burglar than an honest man who can't
make a living, and this is not because
of the loot or what she would gain,
but because she would have more
respect for the man who risked his
life and liberty even in a dishonor-
able calling than she would have for
one who was SO lazy. and shiftless,
and eowardly that he made no effort
at all.
The measure of a happy home is
how much the wife looks up to the
husband. If she is satisfied and happy
the man must be her superior physi-
caliy and mentally, a man on whom
she can lean. on whose Judgment she
can depend, whose strength can stand
between her and the world. When
you hear wife begin every sentence
j
of matrimonial bliss strong enough to
draw money on at the bank,
But when the woman is the first
finger in the family, there's neither
happiness nor contentment in it be-
cause the woman has missed her ideal
in a husband, and the husband is
filled with futile jealousy. because he
was not big enough and strong enough
to hold his place as head of the house.
OF course woman do fall in love
with weak men and marry them, but
the love that such women give such
men is not the real love of a woman
for her mate. 1t is the pitying, ten
der, protective love that mother
gives her sickly child for whose short
conings she must forever be making
excuses even to herself. The women
who marry weak men are inva ria bly,
| the women nth whom tie maternal
instinct is overpoweringly strong.
These marriages turn out very well
If the man is amiable enough not to
! object to being henpeckeds and told
| what he should eat and what he
should wear. and how he shall con-
duct his business, and particularly if
he is meek spirited enough to be able
to take the little boy attitude towards
| his wife and think that his Maria is
the greatest and wisest woman in the
| world
! Unfortunately, however, weakness
| and humility seldom go hand in hand,
] and the man who amounts to nothing
away from home generally feels called
| upon to assert himself by being ty-
rannical at home. so the woman who
marries> the man because she is sorry
for him is very apt to end up to being
sorry for herself.
Those marriage turn out best in
| which the woman begins every SEN
tence with, John says"

He set his hand to the plow one day,

Resolved to mark distant field
With burrows firm and true.
His arms were strong for the toll Of life,
His heart was all afire,
Till a neighbor laughed, and turned him
home,
Rebuked his desire:
You are too young, you are too poor, you
are too weak, said he.
Best leave such tasks to the rich and
great, and strive to be like me.'

OF course there is law violation~in
dry" territory; somehow, the whole
misera BILE business of booze seems to
beget lawlessness. Just now, the in
telligent men who are committing
these breaches of the enacted statutes
of the land need to do bit of sensi-
BILE thinking.
Disrespect for law is the worlds
greatest contemporary evil, In Russia
it has produced Bolshevism; lin Amer
lea it has blossomed in lynchings and
riots.
Law is law, and sacred, if civiliza-
ton is to stand. The man who breaks
the law concerning liquor has no case
against the man, several stages below
him in the intellectual scale, who
breaks the law against making and
throwing bombs. Lawlessness is an
archy; and hon~st minds know that
the present outbreak of lawlessness at
the bottom is the legitimate child of
years of lawlessness at the top. For
the sake of the integrity of our own
thinking let us not forget that Gar
ism begot Bolshevism; and that an
era of lawless capitalism cannot
disown it's offspring, an era of indus
trial violence.
The hour is here for facing all the
facts and accepting their implications
squarely. The new liquor laws are not
a joke; they are law, and as indif-
lerenI TO 1nQlF1Oudt opinion ana de-
sire as all other law. Friends of civil
ization will look upon. the situation
as an opportunity to honor the law,
and to put into it the noblest and most
positive significance. Let us help
men to love se1f-control and clear
headedness and efficiency and ideal
ism and altruism. 1t is day to
glorify mankind and to thank God
that the desire for the common good
is strong enough to register itself in
this advanced legislation. Suppose
we try to convert the man who loves
liquor to love of life's higher things;
so that he will willingly sacrifice a
measure of his personal liberty for
the sake of mankind and the kingdom
of heaven, whose King "emptied him.
