Governor Edwards Of New Jersey
is mentioned a democratic possibility
for the presidency. The governor who
does not touch drop promised to
make his own state wet" and was
elected on that platform. He kept
his word but ran up against the 18th
amendment. A good many hold with
the governor that the present pro-
hibitiOn laws are entirely too drastic
but any reasonable person can see.
that the old States Rights" doctrine
was pretty we'll settled by the Civil
war and that state really can't pass
laws in defiance of federal statute.
wet" or DRY" the good citizen must
adhere to the law. Those who feel
that the prohibition laws are ridicu-
lous and extreme should keep on agi-
tating for a milder Interpretation
which indeed is very likely to come
sooner or later. The feeling that the
present arid condition was slipped
over" by the -prohibitionists
prevails strongly in a good many
quarters.
That Wisconsin stands pretty we'll
alone in a good many matters polit-
lCdl dUu GIWlS0 was IlOlCdICu
strongly at the recent convention. The
Wisconsin delegates, in fact, were the
butt of the convention. In general
this state has come in for pretty
strong criticism for a long time. Sen
ator Lenroot, looked upon here, as a
La Toilette opponent and who was re-
Gently the loyalty" candidate for the
Office he nOws holds, was turned down
for the vice-presidential nomination
simply because the convention thought
he wasn't fright" on the war. The
fact is that Lenroot wavered as con-
gresham and outsiders haven't for
gotten it. Speaking of outside crit
icism the Kansas City Star, an indie
pendent newspaper of rather pro-
nounced Republican leanings, declares
that Wisconsin has seeded from the
union. 1t points out that Wisconsin
went to the Republican convention
with a candidate and platform. It
declares that, while the candidate and
platform met with no success in Chi
cago, there is ample proof that both
are popular in their native state. 1t
says:
Politicians from outside the state
say that La Toilette is losing his DOW
er. But they have been saying that
for many years. All the evidence at
hand appears to prove that Wiscon-
sin and La Toilette are on very good
terms. And if that be true, the Repub-
licans may lose Wisconsin in the
election this fall For when
Wisconsin begins to protest it makes
no halfway job of it. If it decided to
quit the United States and establish
a political kingdom of its own there
is no use to argue the question with
Wisconsin"

Interfering Friends

II you are getting up a Christmas en-
tertainment or any kind of an affair in
which you have children in training, or
even groups of adults, take this advice and
be on your guard against the interference
of outsiders who wish to help (perhaps
they think so) at the last minute.
One recalls the apathy Of these persons
during the initial weeks of training their
lack Of enthusiasm; but when the play or
concert IS about to be pull-d off and
everything looks as though it's going to
be great success people are talking
about it,, then these interfering people
get busy a, d begin suggesting this and
tina. change, If they do not 4ctually tell
he participants themselves. without so
much as asking ~ the one who has 1t in

The Reason Why.

! We have almost stopped calling up our
friends when we are shopping in the city
for even on a pleasure trip, for they so
often can't understand why we want 20
brouse around certain unfrequented IT
Emospheric" vicinites or why we prefer
opera to Folles. They will insist unon
seeing us off" even though we know lhey
are raging at the latencss or the viz aity

your friends in an automat or in the Sec
ond balcony at the theatre and ever after
there is a hunted, accusing exchange of
elances. "Why were YOU there. I'd like to
know?-and you saw me there, too"
We'd like to take that auto trip Just as
we've planned for so long, but out inter-
fering friends would think we ware
"crazy" to 80 that tortuous route. Ilsw
can they possibly know that you'd Pvt up

Unwelcome Suggestions.

Children are like mobs III a wa. They
are easily DETECTED and an slight devia-
lion or break in routine & liable to cause
chaos.
So imagine tire annoyance caused by
! some Interfering person who has dropped
in" to see how the show Is coming on,
and begins In a loud voice 10 wonder
/ whether o. not the procession OF children
should come In from the opposite side 20
what you nave Iabosrously trained them
| through tr"iEg hours.
Certain offieious people get very busy
and solicitous TT the last, They are very
wiling to be on the platform to appear az
the chico director or announcer Of "our"
little pageant Or entertainment IT'S
rather like the hunter and "our bears"
only the bears suffer far less than does
the orderlmess and discipline of the ranks
OF easily Hurried little ores.
Strange. but big, steady business men
and stolid, severe matrons seem to he
in their element if they can playfully
take a leading part at these functions.
They really imagine themselves patron
saints and are willing to pratte and get
the wi ole chorus to giggling to show how
good natured they really are under their
cold exterior! Oh, they're jolly good fell
loWs-and your arduously disciplined rank
and file of wee tots have such q good
time that they almost forget which wing
| to emerge from, and the angelic express
sion appropriate to the verses they are
singing savors more Of impish glee or
riotous hilarity.
But it would never do to offend "oUr
leading men and women" and so you
tremble and chafe inwardly as You see
the animated discussion between Mr..
Green (WEo has kindly volunteered to re-

But how indignant these interfering per
sons are II you decline their assistances
They don't seem 70 understand that II
takes a long time to train children ana
that their ate suggestions are only handi-
caps. ron know full well that there ara
certain things that could have been inns
proved If you'd had more help at the be-
.ginning-but these changes cannot bt
made at the last minute.
1t is not onl In childrens entertain
ments that one sees this phase of human
nature, but it crops up in other peculiar

REMOVE SPOTS WHEN IRONING

When preparing to iron place on the
ironing board or table near at hand a
small bowl of warm water cake Of white
soap, small dish Of peroxide and one Of
cornmeal together with perfectly clean
toothbrush and soft, white cloth.
If you find a spot has been left On some
article by line or clothespin, dip the brush
into. the wafer. then over the
soap, than rub a few times over the
soiled spo, which usually disappears,
If the spot is on something starched,
where waser would affect tie stiffness,
try the cornmeal, rubbing it over the
soied place briekly with the dry brush
or with the Gnu Of turkish towel or
any rougn surface. The peroxide use in
case, of scorch. dipping the white cloth
in 1t and rubbing over the scorched spot.
Repeat il necessary, but usually one ap-
plication will do the work, the warm iron
removing the last traces.
