Marrying NIother.-2

Marrying Mother.-2.
Maud may be all that your fondest
fancy Graves. She may be pretty, and
dainty and sweet and appear SO anna
not melt in her mouth. But all the
same, look at Mauds mother. Is
mother sloppy, and slouchy, and
thriftless? Is her house always in
confusion? Does the parlor sofa need
sweeping under? Are the curtains
crying aloud for soap and water?
Don't marry Maud unless you want
to live in the same disorder and dirt,
for Maud has been brought up to be
lazy, shiftless and untidy, and she will
always think you are an unreasonable
crank If you desire well kept house.
Is Maud's mother Wasteful and ex-
travagant? Does she live beyond her
means? Be sure that she has taught
her daughter that clothes are the most
important thing on earth to a woman,
and that she must have them, no mat
ter how she gets them In her very
cradle Maud was taught to worship
the great god - Appearances - and
when she marries she offers up her
husband as the sacrificial goat.
And look at Maud's father. Is he
care-worn and hump-shouldered Has
he got that deprecaung, hopeless, fur
tive expression of a. henpecked man
the man who is afraid of his wife
If you don't want to understudy him,
beware of leading Maud to the altar.
She has been taught that a husband
is good for nothing but a bill payer.
She has been so used to making a
door-mat of her father that she will
not even know that a husband has a
right to be regarded as a household
ornament.
But If Maud's mother is an intelli-
gent, open-minded woman; if she is a
good housekeeper and a thrifty mana
ger; if she is good natured, tolerant
and sympathetic, and if her husband
looks happy, contented and we'll fed,
go along and marry the girl without
fear.
Such a mother teaches her daugh-
tiers to be good wives. and to do their
duty. They will know how to cook,
sew and get the worth out of their
husbands money; and, above all. they
will treat their husband with tender
ness, consideration and respect. as they
have been taught to treat their father.
Don't marry a girl, son, under the
fatuous belief that you can make her
over to suit your ideal. Her mother
beat YOU to that job by some six or
eight or ten years and you can't undo
her work any more than you could
make over a jug that a potter had
shaped.
The only safe thing in matrimony
is to pick out the kind of mother I'LL
law you like and marry the girl she
has reared.

JUST FOLKS
LINES TO A SECRET FOE,
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.

I have a foe, a bitter cruel foe.
Who mocks at me wherever ] may stray !;
Makes little of my dreams from day to
day,
And strives to steal the courage from my
blow;
Plants doubts for me to hnd where'er 90
And bids me flee when / have willed to
stay;
FrightenS me oft with failures dread array
And pales my cheek when fear should never
show.
He wields no blade of bright and shining
steel,
He is not mortal, yet this foe is real.
Relentless, heartless. aye aud adamant.
l would dare much and climb lifes parapet
Yet still l stay nor dare to move, beset
By one small voice which whispers low
lyon cant.'

THE PLUME PLAN.

! In the recent Labor Day parade in
this city there appeared banners ad-
/ vocating the Plumb Plan" for dis
posing of the railroad problem. Les:
there be those who may have forgot
ten what this plan is. it may be well
/ to refresh their memory on the sub
ject.
The Plumb plan. as developed and
as it is proposed by its sponsors to
apply to all industry, provides that
Society (meaning the public shall
the shape of better, cheaper, and more
service The investment of society
is deemed to be the grant to industry
to do business.
Capital shall receive its share in
guaranteed protection of investment.
and that current rate Of return which
in the markets of the world procures
the acceptance at par of the securi-
ties which represent invested capital"
The capital required to support an in
dustry shall be deemed its investment
Labor shall receive as its return
upon its investment of human effort
that rate of wages which in the free
markets of the world procures the
service of that class of labor, and, in
addition to wages. shall receive its
share of all the savings which labor
can effect in the processes of pro-
duction."
= Capital, 1t will be noted, is to re-
ceive nothing from the savings of
labor, nor is it to share any benefits
by reason of ''better, cheaper, and
more service" And it is highly prob
able, labor being what it humanity is.
that society would never receive any
benefits through savings. which in
cIudes cheaper service, or thru in
creased service. for the simple reason
that labor would step in and demand
it as its due. Society would be in the
position of a holder of common stock
in a concern which never declared
dividends beyond the preferential
holdings.
\ Capital obtains the acceptance at
par of its securities in the markets
of the world frequently because of
some improved method of manufac-
ture, some decreased unit cost of out
put, due to the invention of some
labor saving device, or to some means
of increasing production. The Plumb
plan proposes that labor shall absorb
profits so derived, which would, of
course, depreciate the value Of the Sc
curities offered for sale by capital and
eventually make it difficult. If not i'm
possible, to market them. Incidental
II, the securities marketed by capital
are the stocks and bonds purchased
by society. AS to which group is TO
bear the losses in lean years, the
Plumbites are silent.
Nor could it be expected that labor
under the Plumb plan would long be
contented with that rate of wages
which in the free markets of the
world procures the service of that
class of labor" Judging from a reso-
luton unanimously adopted by the
American Federation of Labor in Buff
falo two years ago. American labor
wants something better than the free
market rate of wages, and under the
protective policy 1t receives 1t.
The Plumb plan is the first step fl
plan to squeeze capital out of in
dustry and substitute government
ownership.

1t is all right, of course. for those
California native sons to visit Sena-
tor Harding at his home in Ohio. But
why do they plan to ask him a lot OF
questions, some of which may prove
embarrassing. Since the senator has
expressed himself freely and clearly
on most questions of general interest,
it may be inferred that the Cali
fornians have some interest peculiar
TO their native state to serve.
