In both cases the vast majority of the citizens
of the state had expressed their wishes as to the
fate of the proposed legislation, and the general
assembly carried it out.
A large number of measures of purely local
significance and minor Importance were intro
duced-something that is expected at each ses-

quickly in committee. .-.-

were not introduced, this is no reflection on the

AMBITIOUS WIVES.

I've seen some husbands wet with
toars who might have learned to sing
ard dance had but their wives, the
dimpled dears. but given them a de.
cent chance I'm thinking now of HI
ram Hick, who nresses hard against
The names, and life's TO him a. silded
brick. because his wife has social
aims She gives a party every week,
or riot of some other kind; and Hiram
sees his roubles leak; she makes his
assets hard to find. A tea to honor
Mrs Jones may be the proper thing to
give, but Hiram's shy hundred bones,
and wonders why such females live.
His wife must have d costly gown ap-
DroDriate to each event; and Hiram
totters through the town, and smokes
a torch that cost cent. He makes
good money every year, and if his
wife would mend her ways he might
read his title clear to Easy street and
happy days. But she must trot with
richer folk, and mingle with the up
per ten. and so Hiram's always broke
and sishing for lost iron men. But in
his grief he's not alone; million hus-
bands toll and spin, and every time
they earn bone, their wives go forth
to blow it in A million husbands
drudge and slave and toilssalong on
weary feet; and If their wives would
help them save, they all might dwell
on Easy Street.

Settling the Philippine Question e

President Harding is losing no time in taking
up some of the questions which his predecessor
left for him to solve. The question of granting
independence to the Philippines and of our policy
toward them is one that he believes should be
solved quickly as possible.
Conditions in the islands reported to be
disquieting, owing to rash promises of some
American officials that full independence would
be granted to the inhabitants Immediately. The
administration of affairs which gradually has
been turned over to the natives, has become
chaotic, and many reforms instituted by Ameri-
cans have been allowed to lapse. The chaotic
condition of political and economic conditions is
denied by some Philippine residents, but the
situation is grave enough to warrant an invas-
tigation.
President Harding will base his action on the
result of a special investigation, which he has
asked Gen. Leonard Wood to make. He has
taken the matter under advisement. President
Harding has indicated that he is anxious to OBJ
tain information on the Philippine problem as
quickly as possible in, order that our policy to-
ward the inhabitants of the islands may be fixed.

Wants OnlysOne Job

Postmaster General Hays has announced his
decision to resign as Republican national chair
man. Therein he shows commendable judgment,
for the post office department win require all
his time. The average member of the laity is
unable to fathom exactly what is wrong with the
post office system but he knows that the de-
partment is not functionng with the precision
which formerly characterized it. . ..
The American public believes that Mr.. Hays
has certain qualifications which will enable him
to discover the underlying weaknesses of his de-
partment and to apply remedies. His ability as
an organizer and executive of the highest class
was amply demonstrated when he assumed the
management of the Republican organization.
The application of his genius to the post office
situation may soon restore the efficiency that
seems to have been destroyed under his prede-
cessOr. t~. ~ -
Mr.. Hays, perhaps, would not have been
criticized severely if he had decided to retain the
craftsmanship of his party, for there are enough
precedents upon which he could have fallen back
for justification of his course But there are
capable, leaders in the Republican party to guide
it's affairs, and Mr.. Hays wisely decided to give
his full time to a mans size job.

Answers to Questions

Arbiter-To reconcile a difference
of opinion, please tell me if the paving
of streets is a modern invention?-
The art of paving was used by the
ancients. The Carthagenians, several
hundred years before Christ, were the
first to pave their towns. The Ro-
mans. in the time of Augustus (63
BC-14 A. d. had pavements in many
of their streets: the Appian Way, a
paved road, was constructed 312 B. C.
Pavements of blocks Of lava. worn into
ruts by wheels, are met with in Her.
culaneum and 'Pompeii Roads built
Of heavy flags of freestone, of un-
known age, exist in Peru, 1900 to
1000 miles in extent In Mexico
among the ruins of Palenque, are
found pavements of large square
blacks of stone. CordOva in Spain was
paved by Aberrahmon II in $50 A. D.
The streets of Paris were first paved
by Philip Aupertus in 1884 A. D. In
England there were few paved streets
before the reign Of Henry VIII CASE
1900. London was first paved about
1888. 1t was paved. with f1agstones
between 1915 and 1925. 4
