Editorial Echoes

Strong resolutions committing it's member
ship to incorporating warfare in behalf Of
the freedom of the press were adopted at the
recent meeting of the American Newspaper
Publishers association in New York.
In their campaign, the newspapers will
confidently expect the strong support of a
public trained to believe in a free press as
the safeguard of the peoples liberties.
The American press may not be above criti-
cism, but it certainly is deal better than any
substitute that special interest, whether ul-
traradica1 or ultraconservative, could devise.
1t always is subject to the curb Of public CEN
sure-and no institution in the country feels
adverse criticism so quickly or so keenly.
That is all the censorship required. It

fairness or veniality. No newspaper long can
run counter to public opinion and prosper.
Some try-but they speedily learn the error
of their ways.
The people can deal with this matter in
their own way. They have been dealing with
it successfully from the earliest days Of
American history. They are capable of ex-
ercising that power, through force Of public
opinion, in the future.
This control the press welcomes, but any
other it should and it will resist to the final
extreme.-Seattle Times. (Tnd. Rep.)

The LEAGUE of Youth

A PROPOS Of Sir James Barrie's sug-
~ gestion that what the world most
needs is League Of Youth, it Is re-
called that the creator of Peter Pan was
himself born in 1860. "He is the very man.
rightly thinks the Boston Transcript, "for
the leadership of such a League, If he can
but get it going" And the same observer
adds, There is no time of life when one
feels the spirit of youth singing in ones
soul so powerfully as when one is about
sixty years old"
Curiously enough, your jaded, solemn, ex-
cessively sophisticated spirit goes less fire.
quently with sober three-score than with
the light-treading twenties. Who can forget
the ponderous Importance Of his first bal
lot, or the gravity of his first signing dog
gerel sonnet to his "mistresss eyebrow"
Lord Byron was but thirty-six when he
wrote:
"My days are in the yellow leaf
The flowers and fruits of love are
gone
The worm, the canker, and the grief
Are mine alone
The fire that on my bosom preys
Is lone as some volcanic isle;
No torch is kindled at it's blaze
Iuuerdl pie
And this really besorts better with the
early twenties than with the latter thirties
especially the worm" the "canker," and
the lone volcanic isle" For only abundant
youth can muster the dramatic valor to revel
in these things. You never catch your
grizzled life-mariner of sixty flirting with VOL
canic isles or hugging the worm and canker
to his bosom.

said, to interpret Juliette of fifteen. Ger

Who said, "A whole I planned,
Youth shows but half; trust God: see
all, nor be afraid'"

DOROTHY DIX TALKS

VIZ HY are men who are so clever about
{ w other things stupid about love?
Why do men give so much time
and thought to making their business sue
cess and none at all to making their mar
riage a success?
Why do men make such a profound study
| of the psychology of other men with
whom they must deal, yet never think it
worth while to attempt to find out what
their wives are thinking and feeling, or how
they are react1ng to any given situation?
Why do intelligent men, good men, kind
well-meaning men, men who really love
their wives, go laundering along through
forty or fifty years Of married life, break
ing their wives hearts, and turning matri-
mony into an arid desert, when they could
make it blossom like the rose if only they
would say few kind words now and then,
or use little tact and diplomacy in dealing
with the women to whom they are married?
Nobody knows, least of all do the men
themselves know The way of snake on
rock, and man with a maid are set down
in Holy Writ as two Of the unfathomable
mysteries of the world but they are easy
riddles to read compared to the attitude of
husbands towards wives. Perhaps that is
the problem that the Sphinx broods over in
the desert, and why it's lips are curved in
smile half plying, half sardonic.
For the curious part of the matter is this
that good husbands are as rare as black
diamonds, yet practically every man when he
marrles intends to be a jewel of husband,
and, as general thing, he never finds out
! that he fails to be anything but pinchbeck,
and he never dreams that his wife is not
perfectly satisfied with him, and that she
doesn't thank the Lord on her Bonded knees
for him every night. He feels that he has
done his full duty when he feeds her and
clothes her, and he is blissfully unaware that
he has rubbed all of the gilt off of her
romance, and put his big hulking foot
through all her girlish dreams of what mar
ried life with the she loved would
be.
For men don't waste their time in study
ing women, or trying to see life from the
feminine point of view. Consequently they
never find out that little things are big
things to women, and that woman's happi-
ness often depends on trifles.
AS an interesting illustration of this sub
nit the case OF young woman know whose
whole life is being ruined by her husbands
| Obtuseness. His, also, because he cannot
understand why his wife should be the melan-
choly wreck she is when she has all of the
orthodox feminine blessings, a good hus-
band, a good home, and a good income
This particular man is splendid fellow.
When he was young he married a woman
slightly older than himself. She was a
strong, efficient, forcefu1 woman, fine man
ager, and model housekeeper; but she died,
and he took unto himself, as a second wife,
a girl much younger than himself, gentle,
