HERE are plenty Of families in which,
after the first baby arrives; the man
of the house henceforth merely exists
as a purveyor to the children.
Up to the minute of the birth Of little
Johnnie or little Sallie, her husband had
been the center of the world to the wife.
She was miserable and forlorn if he went
out of an evening. 1t was the heighth of
bliss for her to trot around with him to
places of amusement. She dolled herself
up for him and spent hours identifying
herself that she might look we'll in his eyes.
She hung in rapture on his conversation.
She considered his pleasure, and the whole
house was run to minister to his comfort.
But the advent of the baby changed all
that. Husband was dethroned with a sud-
denness that shook his back teeth, and none
was left in his household so poor as to do
him reverence.
Wife no longer dressed herself up in her
pretty clothes, because baby mussed up her
chiffon and tore at her laces. Wife refused
to go out of an evening with him, because
baby might cry while she was gone Wife
no longer pretended to be interested in his
conversation, because she was listening with
one ear cooked towards the nursery, and
to tell the truth, wife herself wasn't very
thrilling company because all that she could
hand out was line of sterilized CONVEX
sat1cn made up Of pap bottles, and extracts
from baby books.
And husbands comfort and convenience
was not even considered because wife took
it for granted that he'd perfectly adore
moving out Of a sunny room so baby might
have 1t for nursery, and giving up his
chiffonier for baby clothes, and walking on
tiptoe, and speaking in whisper for fear
of waking baby, and spending his evenings
alone reading the newspaper while mama
sung lullabies to baby.
This is no exaggerated picture of the
| effect that baby has on many a woman.
We all know plenty of households in which
| the entire establishment is run for the sole
| behoof Of the children. There is no de-
cent furniture in them because the chill
| dren's freedom to make trains of the chairs,
and spill molasses on the rugs must not
be abridged. There is nothing fit to eat
| on the table because the food must be kept
down to the boiled spinach and bread
pudding status suitable to the infantile
stomach. There is no conversation because
everybody has to listen to what the chill
dren say.
And the husband is nothing on earth but
the childrens' father to his wife. She re-
CARDS him as slave who is privileged to
spend his life in hard toll to provide them
with everything from ruffled baby caps
when they are babies to automobiles and
trips to Europe when they are grown. And
if husband has to work himself to death
to satisfy the Unsuitable greed of her young,
she is sorry, but she urges him on to do it..
For motherhood is a demoralizing passion

COMPULSORY Voting
. HE young radicals of Amsterdam

at least an Aristophanic sense of hui
NOR. AS protest against compul-
sorry voting they organized the so-called
"Rabble'' party, which dominates its candi-
dates from the wayside and the gutter. In
a recent election for town council several of
these were winners, one being a decrepit
beggar and another forlorn old beldam who
peddles pins. Both, no doubt, are much be-
wildered il not distressed by their unsought
honors. Let no cynic remark that in Amer
lea we sometimes seem to order things no
better, for here we never thrust political
greatness upon those not seeking it; indeed,
how could we when the field is swarming
with those eager to achieve it?
Compulsory voting has been applied in
more than one country of Europe as means
of constrainfng Indifferent citizens to ballot
duty. In Czecho-Slcvakia, a season or so
ago, high state official was fined for alb
sence from the polls. The fathers Of the
young republic rightly reasoned that true
democracy could not be maintained If the
people did not participate in the government.
So, too, thought the old Athenians, who paid
poor citizens for the time spent in exercising
their rights and doing public service and
who, in some instances, penalized the rich
for failing in such obligations. This is our
own practice in the matter Of jury service;
but we have yet to realize that popular gov
eminent can no more function without voters
than courts of justice can proceed without
jurieS.
An, inexcusably small proportion of quail
fled citizens take part in our elections.
Whether or not the intelligence brought
to bear upon an issue will increase with the
number of voters, it is certain that civic
spirit will languish where the voters rights
and responsibilities are neglected. Compul-
sorry voting would not appeal to Americas
easy going sense of democracy (and certain
ly we want no "Rabble" party of the young
radicals) but will not some one devise way
to bestir the ballot slackers?

BEWARE SELF-PRAISE
By H, Addington Bruce

IN HERE is an old saying, "Self-praise is
l half SANDER" which I would empha-
size for the benefit oil all addicted to
the unfortunate habit of extolling them
selves.
Most assuredly, when one gives 1t little
thought, this saying will be found to crystal
lie significant truth. For 1t is certain that
those who persist n ringing their own praises
by that very act create suspicion that they
actually have done little or nothing y orth
praising.
And the chnces are that this suspicion is
justified. Men of achievement, as rule,
are content to let their achievements speak
for themselves and thus evoke from others
the praise they merit.
But, as in the case of all rules, there are
exceptions even to this one. Through an ex-
cess of egoism-an excess popularity known
as egotsm-men of achievement themselves
are sometimes lamentably given to self
praise.
When this happens there is immediate
lessening in the volume of praise by others.
If the self-praise persists, the tendency among
others is not only to cease pra1sing the self
praisers, but to forget that they. have ever
done anything praiseworthy.
From this it is but short step to under
valuing them And presently the praise that
once was willingly given IS succeeded by rid
icule, to the establishment and chagrin of the
talented self-praisers.
They cannot, they perhaps frankly admit,
understand the change in tie public's atti-
tude toward them. They would understand it
if they but appreciated the force of that bit
Of proverbial wisdom, "Self-praise is half
SANDER"
Approaching it, talking less and less about
themselves, and concentrating their thought
and their energy on accomplishment, they
may yet win back the esteem they have lost.
Never, however, they win it back by the
mistaken policy of praising themselves the
more vigorously the more they feel that they
are undervalued.
And as regards self-praisers who have
never been men Of real achievement, they
cannot too soon realize that the only people
they are deceiving al themselves Still worse
because Of the dstrust that their self-praise
provokes, they may find their opportunities
for achievement steadily becoming fewer
Self-praise has cost many a man lucra-
tive position. 1t has hopelessly handicapped
many another at the very outset Of promis-
ing career. Always it impedes and blights.
It's whole action is destructive.
Remember this whenever the temptation to
self-praise arises. Whatever momentary
qualification it may give is as nothing COM
pared with the great harm it ultimately is
likely to do.
