HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BY MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am young
man 25 years of ago. Shortly before
was married L realized 1 might be
preparations to be completed and the
wedding occurred as planned.
consoled myself by believing that
maybe it wouldn't be so very dis
agreeable, but it has been. My wife
is not the kind of woman I want as
the mother of my future children and
so consequently there have been none
nor will there ever be.
She declares she loves me but
frankly do not care for her. What
is the proper thing for me to do ?
Shall I continue in this empty relation
all the rest of my life, never tasting
happiness in it's true sense?
1 prefer not to force her to divorce
me by going out and getting myself
in bad. / want to protect my own
good reputation as I am ambitious in
a professional line. 1 do not want to
do anything that will trouble my con-
science in later life.
No doubt this same situation has
occurred to many others in the great
matrimonial gamble and j would like
to know your answer. Is there such a
thing as an honorable divorce?
7 love my daily work and if 1 could
only AdVeNd ndppy nome Ike WOuIu
be supremely happy. Is it right that
one should forego the latter and try
to interest oneself in the days work
so completely that love of home and
a little family be completely stifled?
Is one morally bound to make the best
of bad go and drag along thru life
until death shall end it all?
PERPLEXED.
Selfishness seems to be the keynote
of your letter. Since you did not tell
your wife before marriage of your
misgiving, it seems to me that you
ought to stand by your vows and make
the best of the life you Jwilfully chose.
Your wife loves you and that should
be enough to bind you to her until
death frees you from your bond.
Yes, I think there might be such
thing as an honorable divorce. but not
IN your case. You knew before you
married that you were doing a dis
honorable thing and therefore should
be loyal to your, choice
Probably if you analyze the matter
you will decide that your wife is just
as worthy of having children as you
are, OF course work should not stifle
the yearning for a happy home with
a dear wife and children.

we were first engaged. so sure you
were going to get a big advance soon"
Someway the disappointment / felt
showed in my voice, altho had tried
not to let Robert realize 1 was disap-
pointed.
ct know, and-well, Gerry, 1 guess
some folks need something to make
them work. and perhaps am that
kind. Ever since your last raise
kept thinking you earn more than
do. and that you can have what you
want without my help. and it seems
to take all my ambition away. Its
silly. I know, but-well-I am. going
to get over it some way, but I don't
just know how
81 should say you were silly! Know
ing I earn such good salary should
make you more ambitious. You don't
want a woman to get ahead of you
do you?'
"No-yet I guess it is a good thing
you can make money, Gerry, I don't
seem to be able to-"
I saw he was discouraged, and tried
to- cheer him up. Yet all the time in
the back of my mind was feeling OF
chagrin because he was inadequate
because he acknowledged it.

WHERE KANSAS LEADS.

The second step taken by Kansas in
, an effort to rescue the state from the
evils of the strike is attracting almost
as much attention as did the first.
Governor Aliens handling Of the coal
strike situation might soon have been
forgotten. but the calling of an ex-
ira session of the legislature and the
passage OF the industrial court bill
have served to fix the eyes OF the pub
lie on Kansas for long time to come.
The Chicago News expects to see
other states follow our lead. 1t says:
During the recent coal strike the
governor of Kansas took effective
measures to provide the people of that
state with fuel. From that necessity
and that action grew the compulsory
arbitration act that has Just become
effective in Kansas.
Governor Allen is the author of this
advanced piece of Industrial legisla-
ton. 1t won the approval of the legis-
lature against considerable opposition.
The act is modelled on the Australasian
compulsory arbitration laws. It pro-
hibits strikes and lockouts in num-
Der OF basic or important industries,
such as transportation, mining. food
production and garment making. 1t
provides for state operation of estab-
event of refusal by one or both parties
to a dispute to obey the order of the
industrial court created for the pur-
pose of hearing and deciding contro-
versies over wages, hours, conditions
-of work or relations between employer
and employed.
The act recognizes collective bar
gaining, forbids -picketing, limits the
right of discharge and even empowers
the industrial court to amend con-
tracts OF employment found to con-
tain unjust and unreasonable clauses.
There IL much in this comprehen-
sive act that is novel and. for America,
unprecedented. OF course its consti-
tutionality will have to be tested in
the courts. Perhaps even the United
States supreme court will be called
upon to decide whether it be conso-
nant with fundamental American
principles. But, whatever the result
may be. Kansas deserves congratula-
tions for the courage and initiative
displayed by its governor and legiSla-
ture in dealing thus vigorously, even
il experimentally, with a grave prob
lem.
. Kansas has taken the lead. Massa-
chusetts has been debating similar
proposals but hesitating to depart
from precedents. Congress has before
it the labor and arbitration features
Of the CumminS bill to approve or
modify. In short. the question of pro-
noting Industrial peace is before the
American people, and it is receiving
earnest consideration. Catch phrases
and irrelevant half truths will not lead
tn a right solution. No doubt the Illi-
nois constitutional convention will ex-
anime the Kansas act and decide on
the necessity OF empowering our legis-
problems in the interest of the whole
people.
