Mr.. Jones insists, the young couple must

Mrs. Jones asserts that she would not
give up one of her joys and SORROWS of her
long married life, though there havebee
many of both, and she urges every woman
TO pick out the right man and marry him
With an appreciation Of the lure of the

Well said Mrs. Jones 1t seems TO be
the modern method for the woman to seek

misfortunes, that bring so many couples

Wilson Warns Young Men.

President Wilson, in n letter 20 the
Young Americans Democratic League,
declares the country must look to the
young men of the day TO save il from the
reaction and pessimism Of the older men.
He declares the country must push on and
on if it achieve it's destiny among nations
of the world And it must also rise TO n
pure conception of it's international re-
sponsibility, he insists.
Mr. Wilson is accurate in his perception
Of the duties and obligations of the young
er men of the country The G. o. p.
seems to be entirely manned and managed
by such veteran reactionaries ms Lodge,
Penrose and others of their advanced
years.
Probably every one in the country would
shudder with intense dread were he in
formed and induced to believe the real
situation that confronts the country
under the incoming administration; that
it will be directed and controlled by Sen
ator Penrose, whose State is the worst boss
ridden commonwealth in the Union. and
by Lodge, who has spread his envenomed
spirit and hate throughout the country.
Whether the people like it or not,
whether they understand If or not, Pen
rose and Lodge, with occasional sops to
Borah. will be the next President of the
United States, with majority large
enough in both branches of Congress to
enable them to impress their will, their
kind Of partisanship, on the country at
large. The country is almost as much the
chattel of Penrose as rs the State Of Penn
svlvania.
Mr.. Wilson's counsel Is timely and II is
needed, as the welfare Of the nation de-
mands that its direction he shifted from
the old gang to new minds, who will not
check its progress or stand in the way OF
its taxing a full part in the sisterhood OF
