Dorothy Dix Talks

The Family AIartyr-a.

Think of the old maid aunts who
have given their youth to rearing
other peoples children, and who in
their old age are regarded as burdens
by the very nephews and nieces for
whom they have sacrificed their lives!
Think of the old maid daughters who
have been slaves to tyrannical moth
ers, who have foregone matrimony OF
the careers they might have had, to
stay at home and coddle a cranky old
woman's whims. and whom mother al
ways speaks of as poor Mary or poor
Jane" and says that she never was
brilliant like her other children!
The truth is that we wrap so much
of the pink chiffon of sentimentality
around sacrifice, that we have lost
sight of justice and common sense in
the matter. Yet when all is said, why
should one person be sacrificed to an
other? Why isn't one individual as
entitled to happiness as another? Why
isn't one life worth as much as an
other?
In the main, sacrifices are not only
useless, but wrong. Struggle and hard
ship develop character and sharpen
it just as exercise strengthens the
body and develops suppleness. There
fore when We stand between an indi-
yidual and what we calkthe hardships
of life, we are doing him or her an
injury. instead of q kindness. And
we commit a crime against another
when We foster greed, and egotism and
self will in him or her.
So the mother who works herself
to death that her children may be
idle, instead of making them bear
their just share of earning their daily
bread, does them q wrong. The men
who achieve things in the world have
not been the ones who had mothers
who kept them in cotton wool.
Nobody can accept a sacrifice with
out being brutalized by it, You will
never find a man whose wife supports
him who does not abuse her. Nor a
son who permits his mother to make
door mat of herself for him who
does not trample all over her heart.
Nor will you ever behold q family
grateful to the woman who Is the
saeFifieial goat.
Also a sacrifice is generally boom
erang that annihilates the source
from which it sprang. A family will
tie a brilliant and talented girl to the
cook stove, and make her sacrifice
her career because they think she
should help mother, when, If they
would let her go, she could make
| enough money to hire a regiment of
! cooks. Or they will persuade a soft
headed girl. with an in-growing con-
science, to give up her happiness in
order to play nurse maid to children,
or cater to a selfish and self-eentered
old mother or father, and then be-
moan the fact that they have to have
her tag On their families, because
she has never married and had a
home of her own.
So I say to women that sacrifice Is
folly. Don't let anybody make a
goat of you.

Was named as the Democratic stand
rd-bearer for the third time. When
the convention adjourned there were
knives in the boet-legs of majority
seemed that Republican success was
absolutely assured.
Both parties had s'straddied" the
money question. The silver issue was
becoming more and mort persistent,
but as both parties were divided on it,
neither had the courage to take either
side of the controversy. It was exactly
as in the ante-bellum days when slav-
cry was the only real issue, but when
neither Wings nor Democrats dared to
touch the question:
The tide of the election turned from
Harrison to Cleveland after the great
Homestead strike at the Carnegie Steel
Works The Mckinley bill had not
given the lahorers the increased wages
they expected and there was serious
labor trouble all over the country.
The use of troops at Homestead and
the employment of Pinkertons in the
far west enraged the laboring people
against the administration
Until the last Republicans had conf
denee, all Of them except a few lead
ers like Quay, and the Cleveland land
slide was not expected. The Demo-
crafts were hopeful, but when they
found they had carried states like
Illinois and wisconsin they were ire
mendously surprised. Cleveland had
277 votes. Harrison 145, and Weaver
%.
cleveland's popular plurality was
over $4,000. He was the only man
to duplicate Andrew Jackson's record
of winning a popular plurality for
president three times in succession,
and each time increasing the majority.
He was also the only president ever
reelected to office after a retirement.
He and Harrison are the only presi-
dents who succeeded each other. They
are the only two who twice rode down
Pennsylvania avenue at the head of
the inaugural procession together. 1t
has been said that in 1892 was the
first time that a party had been re-
tired from power during prosperous
times, but as the panic of 1898 was
already approaching the statement is
hardly fair. The election of Cleve-
land by such a great majority was a
forewaFning of the great radical IN
rest which was to reach the flood
tide at the next election.

JUST FOLKS
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.

THE FLAW.
He made his, bid for fortune thru his
youthful days and sunny,
The spur to his ambition was the yellow
stuff called money:
He shaved for 1t and saved for 1t, the heat
and cold he braved for it,
He daily watched his holdings grow until
at last he came to know the fortune
he had wanted SO;
Then one mistake he CHANGED to make
he saA the tickle market break and
others rushed his wealth to take.
He must beware who counts In coin the
total of his happiness.
And builds his joys upon the sand whore
money seekers find success
For yellow gold is hard TO hold, it's slip
perry stuff and very cold;
Since first its power on earth began, in
1t no loyalty we scan; it serves, but
never loves the man,
And who shall make but one mistake,
wherein his fortune is at stakeS at
morn to poverty shall wake.
Another spurned the road to wealth TO be
a brother TO his neighbors.
He shared their sorrows and their Joys
and knew their burdens and their
labors,
And he was kind Of heart and mind, to
friendly ways, he was inclined,
And all ne knew to him were true-they
knew the good be tried to do;
Mistakes he made, but friends they stayed
when trouble came they rushed to
aid. till every debt of love WAS paid.

CANADA AND HER WHEAT.

Governor Aliens appeal that Cana
dian wheat be kept out of this eoun-
try is criticised by the Sioux City Trib-
une, which says:
Those who have followed Governor
lieve he is ignorant of the manner in
which the price of wheat is fixed.
Nearly any farm boy knows that the
price of wheat at any given time is
fixed by the surplus in the world mar
ket at Liverpool.
! Liverpool is the world market be-
cause it is the natural point from
| which to distribute to consumers
| consumers who are packed in the
manufacturing corner of western Eu-
rope. Enough food for them cannot
be raised where they are and so they
must always buy, always afford
| market.
If Canadian wheat were going to
| England or to France, instead of being
shipped to this country, the price fix
ing power of Liverpool would be the
same, for that place always bids for
the surplus. If this country did not
have a surplus and II we could then
| get the congress to vote to prohibit
the Importation of wheaton get an
"autocrat' to prohibit the importation
do, our farmers could then ask almost
any old price and get 1t.
If he does not know why wheat has
been pounded down of late he should
start a probe of the Chicago board OF
trade. There undoubtedly is an inter
eating story In the gentlemen who
promised farmers IS and 81 a bushel
for the wheat, Just as soon as the gov
eminent could be induced to take off
its guarantee of a minimum of s2.26.
The government guarantee raised
the price of wheat from 81 cents to
S2.20 and then to S2,2e, and kept it
there The gentlemen who make their
money by trading in the farmers
wheat had promised that the price
would go to IS, 81 and even SIS when
| the minimum was removed, altho
there was nothing to prevent the price
going higher than the guarantee at
any time during the war. or since.

ing him of profits should now be given
an opportunity to explain.

Herbert Hoover while in Topeka,
declared he favors the League Of Ma
lions but at the same time announced
his support of Senator Harding, who
has declared that he is opposed to .
league. The senator's mind appar-
emily runs along with that OF Hiram
johnson. The circumstance merely
shows how absurd it is for party lead
ers to hope to divide the people on the
subject Of the league, BY all rules of
the political game, Hoover, TAFT and
Lodge should be in the Democrat
camp. The fact that they are not in
dicates that they think there are other
matters more important than the one
on which the candidates are expend-
ing their powers of oratory. If Re-
publican leaders had endorsed the po-
sition oNcupied by Senator Harding
and believed the people were with
them, they probably would have nom-
mated johnson or Borah.
