- ing Dolly, Madison's administra-
tion would be desert without an
oasis, over whose dreary expanse the
weary biographer would wander
athirst for human anecdotes. Her
bubbling spirits relieved the austerity
of Jeffersonian simplicity and won
her popularity that has been equaled.
II at all, among the mistresses Of the
White House, only by Mrs. Cleveland.
Unless Grant must be excepted.
Madison is the only president who
found the presidency an anticlimax
to his career. One Of the really great
law-givers Of the nation, he was
without executive force.
With weak cabinet, this gentle,
sweet tempered, peace loving scholar
found himself adrift on the turbid
sen Of the great Napoleonic wars
Perhaps 1t was no longer possible to
keep us out of the war when Mt last the
United States was the only neutral
left in the civilized world. But GER

After 20 years of kicking and cuff
ing from both sides in the European
conflict, bullied by England and lied

all over when the "warhawks" Of con-

seized the tiller Of the ship Of state

Overborne by their rash counsels, Mad
ison consented, as he said, to "throw
forward the flag Of the country, sure
that the people would press onward
and defend It,"
Without competent civilian military
leaders. without financial credit, with
out war equipment, the people could
not press onward, as any history Of
the dismal war Of 1912 will tell you.
Even the capital was left undefend-
ed, and Madison, "in a little round
hat with big cOckade," ran about In
helpless bewilderment as the British
marched upon Washington.
With the invaders entering at ono
side Of the defenseless town, the
president fled at the other. AS he

was greeted by ugly mutterings of the
general disposition to make him the
scapegoat for all the national short

eager to serve ON the juries.
There are so many things which a
jury has to decide which are of par
ticular interest to women and which
we believe they will wish to have a
voice in deciding, and after all, there
seems to be no real reason, except
in special cases which could be easily
handled, why women should not serve
on juries.
In matters of investigation especial
ly, they would be we'll fitted, and in
reply to the charge that they lack the
judicial temperament, some of the
fair sex have already limited that ju-
ries composed of altogether men have
been known to be lacking in that
very desirable characteristic, when the
plaintiff was of the Cleopatra type.
Any way we feel quite safe in prophe-
sying that women will serve on the
jury, if they want to, and feel that it
is their duty to do so.
The third measure, which was in
troduced by Representative Sapp, of
Richland county, raises the age of
consent from ID to 16 years in South
Carolina. This is splendid piece of
legislation. Georgia has only recently
redeemed herself in the eyes of the
country, for having such low age of
consent law, and now South Carolina
does still better. 1t marks a step for
ward and we congratulate the legis-
lature of that state for such con-
structive step.-The Augusta Chroni-

RADICAL RuMB1rNGs N MEXICO

Open and violent rebellion against established
order in Mexco is being practced by communists
in Mexico according to Excelsior, the leading news
paper OF Mexico City.
We have before us an editorial summary of
the radical situation in the southern republic from
which we translate the following significant sem
fences: s.s ...
"There exist among us, political organizations
which openly refuse recognize the right of prop
erty and are endeavorng to substitute communism
not by legislative reforms but by brute force
threats, injuries and sabotage. They violate the
law brazeny, and give as the sole reason for their
procedure that they are 'bolshevists, as If they
were privileged group to which codes do not
apply
Now, it must be remembered that Excelsior"
is inclined to be reactonary. and is perhaps I'M
duly alarmed over the situation; but nevertheless
it's standing in Mexican journalism is in the very
first rank. II would not dare to make statements
that We're absolutely unsupported by the facts,
because its competitors would be only too quck to
point out the falsehoods.
If there Is serious trouble in Mexico, we pre-
dict that it viii not come from avowed bandits,
but from imitntors OF Russian bolshevism-aI-
though in the last analysis, banditry and boil
shevism amount to the same thing.

bushel today July contracts reach
ing the highest price this eeason,
$1.3T1s. Big cuts in the estimated
yield OF the 1921 harvest of winter
wheat supplied much of the I'M
petus. The market closed strong
with July at $137 to S1.37 a up

els from the total which, on May

Notable absence of selling pressure
facilitated the rapid price upturn
which came with the circulation
of the estimate. Another circum-
stance that favored the bulls was
the fact that although harvesting
has begun as far north as Okla

parently still been withheld, where
as export buying for deferred ship

was current that Germany and
France were also purchasing to a

AT HOME WITH MOTHER.

CHAPTER CS;I
To my surgrisv mother met US
At the tram.
Father is better" she told me,
land / couldn't wait"
Junior of course remembered
her and asked so many questions
about the chickens and the 0pYs
that she laughingly gave up trying
to talk to anyone but hiln
you and / will visit later
she remarked to me as she tod
him all about his favorite Aire-
dale, and that there was a whole
coop fun of little chickens. and
most wonderful Of all she had d
new neighbor who had a little
boy just Juniors age,
The child was wild with de-
light and skipped along beside her
as she talked
my daddy is coming to see the
doggies too" he volunteered.
"That win be fine!" mother
returned, when is daddy com
ing?"
"oh, sometime" and then he
again prattled OF what he was
just then most Interested in-the
dogs, etc.
Father really seemed quite a bit
better. He knew me and was APP
parently delighted to see Junior
who wriggled away from him and
out into the yard as soon as he
could Like all boys, Junior was
little shy OF caresses before
others. Though when alone with
either Tom or me he was most
affectionate.
No Questions,
/ knew mother was wondering
what it all meant Why we had
come to her, Norah and all, and
with so much luggage, but moth
er was not curious; and if she was
a little puzzled by events she
said nothing. She made us feel
very welcome, and gave Norah
who was charmed with the coun-
try, entireA control Of the kitchen.
Norah never had been out OF
New York before so her delight
can be imagined The flowers, the
chickens, everything interested her
almost as much as they did Jun
Tor. Then the big, cool Kitchen
was SO different from our small
New York kitchen that she SEEM
ed unable to stop talking about 1t.
Junior and the little boy next
door had struck up q great
friendship which relieved Norah
OF good deal of care. There was
no way for them to get hurt, as
they were not allowed to leave
tba ,yard Tho hnbV was mot hers
care. She used to laugh about her
two babies, her big one and her
little one; meaning father and
baby Vera. For while father was
much better, he was in a wheel
chair and the doctor gave Us no
hope that he ever would leave IT,.
