Can anyone doubt what Senator PAT HARRlSONS

governor without the slightest regard for what citizens of

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Your advice has proved beneficial
to so many young people, that l am
writing to ask your help. My par
ents are dead, and I have no one to
advise me in my troubles. so l am
turning to you.
am q young Girl twenty years
Of ag. arc very much in love with
a man Ut forty. This ma, Is very
wealthy and could give m: inc
home. The only drawback is his
three children by q former mar
riage. The children do not 1--we
me, although l am very fond OF
them. Would 1t be wrong for me
to marry this man. knowing the
feeling of animosity his children
have for me? q. u. nj.
Only certainty of great love on
hoth sides would justify a mar
rage as you describe. There are
handicaps enough in marriage
without twenty years. difference
in age and three stepchildren. To
make such a marriage success a
woman would have to possess great
forbearance and unusual tact.
While you might ultimately win
the affection of these children,
you would take a chance of hav-
ing their active hostility against
you throughout your married life.
The man in the case would be
continually torn between conflict
ing interests and opinions. Much
depends on how good-tempered,
fair and just he is or would be.
On the other hand, this man is
entitled to seek happiness and
companionship in spite of his chill
dren, and, by opposing you. the
children are demonstrating that
they are not entirely unselfsh in
their attitude toward their father.
Such marriages have been
success, and you might be able to
make this one equally so. If you
do decide in the affirmative, make
sure that you never put him in
the position of having to choose
between his children's wishes and
yours, il you can help it. Such a
circumstance would be very try
ing to him and might strain his
affection for you. The whole situa-
ton must necessarily depend on
how fond he is Of you and how
much you care for him. When a
woman loves man she can en-
dure a great deal where his hap
piness is involved. II she doesn't
love greatly, her patience will not
last long.

From The Public To The Editor

The writer is an ex-soldier, former
member of the A. Il. F., and member
of the American Legion. While he
refuses to place a pecuniary value on
his patriotism. he cannot but marvel
at the state of mind OF public officials,
and believes that a reasonable bonus
Is not pay for patriotism but a re-
cognition of service well performed in
a time of need. public approval OF
the conduct OF the nations men and
women In an emergency calling for

This idea of busting" the country
Is ridiculous. No man In his senses
would advance such n reason for not

many soldiers. and much harder up
than we are, doing for their eN-serv.

TO the Editor Of THE TIMES;
IT appears that a majority OF Con-
ercssmen are playing the old game.
Up to tricks generally practiced on
;he eve of an election. II IL could be
definitely determined that the soldier
vote could be reckoned with as a
unit. there would. be instant action.
However, political leaders are unde-
cided as to whether the American
Legion and other similar organize
tons are truly representative of ex-
service men. They are hesitating to
vote o bonus for alleged reasons Of
national economy. Yet, there Is hardly
a day passes but what Congress does
not either appropriate or report fav-
orably some bill which creates a
number OF useless political 'plums'
or authorizes an investigation cal
culsted to improve political pros
poets.

Why Do Husbands Hate
Their Wives?

The question which composes the title Of this editorial
Is asked by Miss Helen Mccormick, young lady who
bears the title and performs the duties Of assistant district
attorney Of Kings county Brooklyn. She has listened
the claims and complaints of than two thousand
happy couples seeking divorces.
She would to qualify expert on matrimonial
topics.
Writing for the March number of Hearst's Magazine
which is unusually full Of good writing interesting
topcs-Miss Mccormick says:
Some men hate their wives Many, perhaps ma
jorty, dislike them. Nearly all men think they dislike
them.
A prime reason for this is that it is human to
revolt inwardly outwardly against authority To his
surprise the who marries discovers that the au
thory that he fatuously thought would be his is being
wrested from him and is being exercised by the who
is ironically termed the weaker but more chivalrously
described "his better half"
A surprisingly large number of husbands perhaps
the majority, have the feeling for their wives
that the leopards in the circus have for the young
woman with the yellow hair and pink tights who
pels them daily to jump through hoops.
They admire vaguely the artistic perfection of her
work, but they grumblingly or silently resent being
driven.
little further she devotes attention to the
which lead husbands hate their wives She says
always sympathy the most trivial things and
that men detest sympathy cravers."
She says women are selfish that they exceedingly
critical that they unreasonable that they nsstent
that they lack of responsibility, and that alto
gether they are pagans
But do husbands do any such thing?
Has Miss Mccormick, Judge in divorce proceedings
had the right kind of training to correctly the average
husband has she unfortunately had view of the badly
painted portion of what whole is very good picture?
divorce court good place get idea of the average
married life?
We will not, cannot, argue with woman and sug
gest that you read her arcewhether you be husband
wife, and particularly you contemplate being either

interesting even if you remain unconvinced
