GIRLS, STAY away
FROM GENIUSES!

If you wish to be happy ever there
after, little girl, don't fall in love
with a brilliant man. They make
poor husbands. The Rev. DR.. James
l. Gordon said so in his sermon at
the First Congregational Church yes
terday.
brilliant men in many cases." he
said, make poor husbands. because
they are one-sided, sarcastic, thought
less in regard to their home affairs,
and because they are hypercTttieal
and touchy.'"
DR.. Gordon fortified his statement
by citing illustrations. He mention
ed the names of Thomas Carlyle, who
had a wonderful intellect but was
so nervous that a fly alighting on
his hand completely upset him, and
often caused him to work himself
into a rage. Thomas Edison, the
preacher said, was an exception to
this rule of brilliant men making
poor husbands.

o'clock this afternoon, Miss Alice

all school teachers in Washington-

PENSION AND WAGE
BILLS GAIN FRIENDS

Friends in Congress OF the National
Federation OF Federal Employees have
been asked. to give attention chiefly
to two bills which the Government
employees are anxious to see passed in
the extra session.
One Is the Kellar-Keating pen
sion and retirement bill which was
reported out Of committee at both
ends OF the Capitol. but failed to pass
either house. The other 10 the Nolan
minimum wage bill, providing for =
- a day minimum wage for Govern
rent employees This bill passed the
House, but was held up in the Com
mlttee on Education and Labor, OF
which Senator HOke Smith Of Georgia
was chairman.
OFFICIALS Of the National Federation
of Federal Employees, who have been
casting about to sound sentiment In
the new Congress, are much ehcOur-
sged over the outlooh. They believe
the prospects for passage OF the pen
sion and retirement bill are excellent.
P0merene BIosAed BIn.
Senator Pomerene of Ohio. Demo
erat, Is the member who blocked the
passage Of the McKellar-KeatinE hin
last session. 1t is assumed he will
continue to fight it, but IL will be i'm
possible for him or any other Senator
tc prevent q vote. The Government
employees are hopeful that on q vote
the Senate will indorae the MeKellar-
heating measure which 10 based on
the ''fifty hfty' plan whereby The en-
pluyes contribute 80 per cent OF the
fgnd and the Government Rpprepriates
so per cent OF II.
Moreover, the investigation ana Re-
port OF the commission on Government
salaries and TeclassIheation will hslp
along the cause OF pension and retire
ment without much doubt The 70
port is expected to recommend HnoA
legislation.
The same report, furthermore. Il
expected to strengthen the Nolan plan
Tor a 50 minimum wage.
Passage In Doubt.
Circumstances may prevent ChS
passage Of the pension and retirement
bill at the extra session Some mem
beUs may De disposed to hold back
until the JOINT commission on salaries
ard reelassificatiOn has reported. But
lf the pension and retirement idea il
not Endorsed In the extra session. Of
feials Of the National Federation OF
Federal Employees feel Il is almost
sure TO be In the session next winter.
One factor In the situation Is the
growing strength of the federation It
has 100 local unions In forty-three
States Of the Union, according to
statements OF ofaeiGl9, and lB steadily
tXpandins.

on the question.
"The Register is just as firm a
believer as it ever was in Republi-
can principals, but its faith in the
wisdom Of certain Republican lead
ers certainly has been sadly shaken
these past five months. From this
distance it looks as if Senator Lodge
and his colleagues of the foreign
relations committee had deliberately
and with great care excavated a
cavern without any outlet into
which they have driven their party.
"The one way in which they can
partially atone for their bad leader
ship is to ratify the treaty as qiuck-
ly as possible and get busy trying
to cure the country of the ills
which war and Democracy have
brought upon it"
Scott also urges his readers to
read the League of Nations cove

CHAS. SCOTT is AGAINST THE
REPUBLICANS

Charles F. Scott, editor of the
lola Register, and former congress
man, is a rock-ribbed Republican,
but announces editorially that he
cannot stand the dilatory and petty
methods of Senator Lodge and
other Republicans in the United
States senate in their efforts to
harass President Wilson.
The fact that the Republican SEN
ators spent weeks advocating amend
ments to the peace treaty and since
have admitted they knew all along
that the amendments could not be
pushed through to adoption, peeves
Scott.
In regard to that situation Scott
said in recent editorial:
"The Republican leaders in the
senate now confess that they die
not expect any of the amendments
to the peace treaty to be adopted
1t is a confession which lends color
to the Democratic charge that the
committee on foreifn relations wa:
deliberately packed abainst the
treaty and was not fairly represent

Last week Editor Busenbark of
the Garden City Telegram has an
auto accident, and this is the way
Editor Norris of the Garden City
Heard wrote it up:
"Bro. Busenbark, while scurry-
ing along in his auto at nigh
rate of speed on Wednesday eve
ming trying to chase down some
festive little item about Sam Jones
having taken dinner at home, or
Bill Smith having visited the
butcher shop on business, collided
with an iron water pipe on North
Main street with serious conse-
ouences to a tire. This seemed to
peeve Bro. Busenbark and he is
threatening to bring a criminal
label suit, an injunction or writ
of custer against the city officials,
or do something else equally appal-
ling, unless he gets reparation in
some way. It's his own fault, a
country editor has no right to an
auto in the first place, but if he
has one, he should progress along
the streets in a stately and sedate
manner so that the people can get
a good look at him."

KEEP YOUR EYE ON sHoUsE

Editorial from Kansas City Post.)
Jouett Shouse-not the Honor
able Jouett Shouse-but just plain
Jouett Shouse.
That's what they call him out in
Kansas where he represented the
Seventh District in Congress, and
that is what those who know him
best call him in Washington, where
now he is rendering his country
valuable service in connection with
treasury department work-the un-
tangling of war risk kinks. That is
a prosaic sort of job, task entirely
devoid of glamor or thrills or any
other Turing phase. But, it is high
ly important work-about as
patriotic a position as could be
imagined, for it has to do directly
with the welfare of soldiers. More
over, it is a rather difficult under
taking and it is as far removed from
sinecure classification as any en-
ployment could be.
The war risk bureau under an
avalanche of routine details, got
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1919-11-06

into tangle-and little wonder
that it did. So, somebody had to
help straighten that tangle, and
Jouett Shouse responded to the
call, and he's doing good job of it,
as he has declared that he is going
to stick to the job until the duty
that took him to it has been fully
discharged.
Shouse already has been cata-
logued by Kansas and by the ma
ton as a big man, but watch this
prediction.
His breadth of achievement is just
beginning.
