MAKING CONGRESS THE GOAT.

The rudder Of an airship buckled
the ship made a nose dive for the
earth, struck a high-power electric
wire. was demolished and burned,
with the loss of 81 lives. Immediately
a lieutenant declared that congress is
responsible because # refused to APP
propriate 100000 for the operation
; of a helium plant in Texas.
/ But IL the blame for the Roma dis
aster is to be placed upon congress,
why not say that the loss OF life was
due to that body's paying a million
dollars for an airship which the coun-
try did not need?
Almost every time any evil occurs
or any new need is discovered. the
only recourse or remedy proposed is
an appropriation from the federal
treasury. Even people who protest
the Ioudest against federal taxes are
among those who advocate a raid up
on the treasury as a means OF doing
anything they think ought to be done
It is argued that congress is re-
sponsibIe for all the loss of sheep and
cattle from depredations by coyotes
because it fails to appropriate enough
money for hunters to kill, the coyotes:
that congress Is responsible for the
loss OF cotton from attacks Of the
weevil, because it refuses to appro-
pirate all the money asked for weeyil
control; and that it is responsible for
child mortality because it fails to APP
propriate the required amount of
money for child welfare and mater
nifty.
When the Knickerbocker theater
disaster occurred. the immediate
charge was made that congress was
responsible because it did not appro-
pirate enough money for building in
spection, whereas the evidence is said
to have shown that any eighth
grade graduate with a two-foot rule
could have detected the failure to fol-
low the plans and could have con-
demned the work.
A large part OF the people of this
country are ever strong for the old
flag and an appropriation and when
they don't get the appropriation are
disposed to heap condemnation on
those whose duty it is to keep that
flag float.

Kansas taxpayers, in convention
assembled, adopted a resolution call
ing for a cessation in road building
until there has been an Improvement
in economic conditions. The gentle
men of the convention appeared to
have proceeded upon the theory that
good roads are a luxury and not ne
cessity. The fact is that good roads
are never so much needed as they are
when times are bad, to say nothing
OF the employment afforded by their
construction to those needing work
When the people are prosperous they
can get along with almost any kind OF
roads. This action OF the convention
seems uncaned for from the fact that
no community is compelled by any
law to improve its roads. The i'm
provement OF the highways is entirely
voluntary.

Some pleasure, and some work to do.

What was delight becomes disgust;
When once the wine is at the top.

Daily Talk
JUST LoVE-THATs ALL,


John Golden, the great theatrical
producer, when asked as to the method
of training given to him in his youth
by his mother, replied: "She didn't
train me-she just loved met"
No wonder that this man has been
such remarkable success. With just
one play, "Lightnin'," he has broken
all records for a single run-and that
play that Frank Bacon, its star and
author, tried for ten years to sell!
There are many men and women
doing marvellous things IN the world
because somebody just loves them
that's all.
Love will lead a man higher than
any power in creation. And the lack
of it will burn his soul out.
The fret development in the child
is love for its mother and father.
Human beings rarely give up the
fight of life because they have been
less favored than other as FAR as ma
teriaI affairs are concerned. It's the
waiting for love that doesn't come that
pulls down the shades of the windows
of ones heart.
The unusual thing about love is that
you don't have to explain it or define
it 1t just works and does what It is
happiness which il brings along is dis
tributed far and wide.
Even the dumb animals crave love
and affection. The other evening
saw a picture of a woman playing
with a dozen or more wild animals
lions, bears, tigers, wildcats-as tho
they were kittens. Anyone could see
that she loved them and that they
loved her.
Watch a dog and his master. Many

magic. Over the whole time since the
marines have been guarding mails not
one cent has been lost by the postof-
flee department thru a holdup.
Not the least interesting feature OF
the new policy of the peace time serv-
ice IS the manner in which it has
worked out inside the corps. Marines
now build houses for themselves, sur
vey and direct their own camps, build
athletic stadiums for their own amuse-
ments and do all manner of work in
their own behalf. Engineers, archi-
tects, mechanics and specialists of all
kinds have been developed among
both officers and men so that almost
any task no matter of how technical
a nature can be accomplished with
out calling for outside aid.
Cost Per Marine Is Cut.
Not the least interesting of the
achievements of the marines in the
line of efficiency has been the work
done by accounting experts and eco
nomists These have made an eco
nomic survey of the corps with a view
to establishing the most economical
and efficient systems with the result
that costs have come down in sur
prising manner and efficiency has
been raised to even higher standards.
The effect of these economies is
best shown in the returns of the
marine corps quartermaster's depart
ment which show that, exclusive of
pay, the cost of maintaining a marine
in 1919 was $1.127 for the year, and
in 1920 $s5s. In 1921 it had fallen
to $694, while for the current year
the marine corps estimates that $459
per man will be sufficient. 1t points
with pride to the fact that the actual
expense for the maintenance of 21,-
900 men for this year will be only
about nine and one-half millions,
whereas in 1920. for maintaining 49,
600 men, the cost was more than sew
Rntaen millions.

The taxpayers who gathered in To-
peka the other day resolved against
further issues OF tax-exempt securi-
ties. The issuance of such securities
is a matter that is wholly in the hands
of the communities voting TO issue
them. and with it the state has moth
ing to do. If any municipality pre-
fer to pay as it goes, that is its priyi-
Iege. But those who resolved against
this class of securities can rest as
sured that any other kind must bear
an interest rate much higher than IS
current or must be sold at q heavy
discount. They can pay their money
and take their choice. but in either
event they will pay.

| would like to keep silent without hav-

to q fragile, he would like to be able

to a man is a place where he doesn't
have to be polite, nor thoughtful, nor
considerate. I can see how a man
feels that he purchases the right even
to be disagreeable at home by main
tanning the establishment.
But it would take a super-woman
ever to see the mans point of view.
because q man and a woman look at
hcIne from different standpoints, and
that is where a lot of friction between
husbands and wives begins. To a man
home is a place of relaxation. To a
woman, it is iler work shop. For that
reason when man wants to rest, he
wants to stay at home, but when a
woman wants to rest, she wants to
get away from home.
"a man looks forward to coming
home and spending the evening quiet
ly by his own fireside. He wants
to get into smoking Jacket and slip
pers. He doesn't want to talk because
he has been talking all day. He
doesn't want to go anywhere, because
he has been gadding about all day.
He doesn't want to meet people and
have to entertain them, because he
has been meeting strangers and trying
to make himself agreeable to them all
day.
But the woman has been looking
forward to the evening, not as time
to slump. and rest, but as a time to
grid herself up. and go forth to en-
joy herself. She's tired of the home.
She's tired of the children. She's tired
OF her own society. She wants to
talk, to be amused, to get some new
ideas. to dance, something that will
give her change.
Therefore she wants to go away
from home, and he wants to stay at
home. and If they do stay at home
she wants him to be lively, and gay.
and amusing. and she resents it when
he is not. which is natural, for the
average domestic woman's life is just
as full of hard work, and as strenuous
as her husbands, and is far more dull
and monotonouS.
That's why most women's ideal
husband would be a man who would
say every evening, Put on your hat
and let's go somewhere
And mans ideal wife" said the
man, would be a woman who would
let her husband stay at home and
crouch when he felt like it, and she
would know that he didn't mean a
thing on earth Ny it, and was just re-
under all day, and she would realize
that he loved her best when he was
surliest, and was happiest when she
let him be miserable in peace"

 He said that it was because of the number of complains in regard tc spoke on this subject. It is the duty Of people who live in that commun- fly, he said. not to let anything oc- cur there that they could prevent He said that what he wanted to do at this time was to caution all Cath olics to be watchful of their conduct when they go to the beach,
 Urges Catholics To Lead.
 He said that all roughness must be kept out of the parish and that it was not for Catholics to take lead ing part in creating public opinion that would make the presence of a certain type of person unwelcome in the future. He said that little by little conditions have grown worse in this community until the time has come when the church, which has the moral welfare of the people at heart. has to come out strongly against the abandon, the lack of modest and the many other bad in f1uences that are to be found at this beach. He said that someone had to make a move against certain practices for the tendency Is for things to get worse if something is not done to remedy them.
 Criticises Girls Costumes.
 He frowned upon the attire that some girls have seen fit to wear on the beach as well IS in shops. It is a de- moralizing influence, he said, and must be stopped He appealed to the conservative element in the Catholic church to do all that they can to keep out of Momauguin all persons who have the looseness of character to make a show of themselves as is done at this beach every day and especially on Saturday and Sunday.

J., July 3o.-Thre, prisoners, one Of them James Ayres who stood off posse for severa hours at Little Silver last Tuesday escaped from the Monmouth count, jail here yesterday at noon, goine down a scanold which had been uset by carpenters making repairs to the building. Dropping from the scarold to a courtyard, they walked out ar alley alongside theater and got away.
 Besides Ayres. the prisoners are Stanley Kaminsky, accused Of the murder of John Branngan at Bel mar a few weeks ago, and Joseph Lewis. sent to the jail from Asbury Park to serve a sentence of ninety days for disorderly conduct.
 The escape occurred at time when all of the prisoners were at food. The three men went up to the top tier Of the jail, tore out an iron bar which had been placed there after the work men left the jail on Saturday. Then they ripped hole in the ceiling and got into the attic. The carpenters had opened the roof at this point, and the prisoners went out through the role the workmen had left.
 Several persons saw the three men walk out of the courtyard of the jail and down the alley. The warden was not told until an hour later.
