GOLDEN THREAD is BREAKING.
"a Mans Cook Book for Men" is the
subtitle Of THE Stag Cook Book, -
complied by c. Mac Sheridan and pub
nshed by the George H. Doran company.
The book is specific and contains no
culinary language too deep for tears.
but is couched in plain words and calls
for nothing which a second rate boot
logger in fourth rate town may not
quickly supply. But the badness of the
language reveals in many cases the
baser nature of many men who have
seemed to be leading spotless lives.
Probably the heart-break of the book
comes with the revelation that our be-
loved president eats gravy on his waf-
files, and Clipped beef gravy at that. No
syrup for him, nor honey, nor powdered
sugar, nothing but gravy does Warren
G. Harding eat upon q food which was
no more designed for gravy than is
strawberry shortcake. What a revela-
ton.
Would ever col. George Harvey have
supported this man for president had he
known the shameful truth about his con-
duct before a waffle7 Is man with
soul 30 dead that he puts gravy on
waffles ever going to get any sense OF
our international obligation into his
head? He will go from gravted waffies
to sugared lettuce and sailed cassavas,
and soon will be plunged into the depths
of pounded beef steak from which no
high sense of duty to dazed and strus-
Cling humanity ever will arouse him.
The American people have stood by
President Warren G. Harding fairly
we'll He has until now lost practically
none Of his prestige. But from now on

A FRIEND OF BOYS.

The boy at the knothole has at last
discovered a defender. Authorities had
two youngsters arrested in Chicago for
climbing a lamp post to peer into the
park and see the great football game
with Princeton. Judge Eller-may his
tribe increase-promptly discharged the
boys and censured the penny-pinching
business manager who had brought them
into court. He said the spirit OF the
day was to see the game at any cost,
and he not only thought the boys were
justified in their adventure but consid-
cred the officials went too far beyond
their rights In turning a fire hose on
group OF boys who had perched on n
memorial shaft.
Whether boys would really enjoy the
removal Of restrictions on fence perch
ing and knot holding is questionable.
The man with a stick who raps the
knuckles Of fence hangers is unpleasant,
like the pegdriver who pulls you out
from under a circus tent; but without
him there would be no zest to the ex-
ploit. Life Is dull without an obstacle.

The Pulse of the Nation

an unappreciative public does not &C
cord them the respect TO which high
minded business men are entitled. Said
one of them in Pennsylvania:
What we bootleggers have got to dc
is to get together and convince the
public that we are honest, reliable bus
mess men, entitled to the respect and
confi0@cce Of the community"
The bootIegging industry is so new
that undoubtedly the bootleggers are
suffering from it's chaotic conditions. It's
practices are not standardized, it's ethics
is not codified. Without organization
there is no way to keep low minded
black sheep from tainting the business.
Bootlegging ought to attract our best
people, so it's only natural that bootleg
gers should want to guard their lily
Wilderness. A bootleggers' bloc in con-
gress wouldn't be a bad idea In no
other country is the industry handt-
capped as it is here. To equaltze con-
ditions, congress really ought to give
American bootIeggers subsidy. like

Another Side Of the Divorce Question.
Next to Japan we are the worst ma
ness with which we regard the martial
tie IS concerned" This Is the charge
which Bishop T. Summer Of Oregon, made
in the course of an interview In Chicago.
Subsequently the same thing has been
said many times by those who are in
terested in reforming the laws of mar
rfage and divorce, but are the American
people called upon to abase themselves
so humbly?
1t is quite true that American divorce
laws are lax in some states and broad
in the most of them but the fact that
so many Americans go to the divorce
courts when the marriage tie becomes
irksome indicates that they feel the tie
as something binding upon themselves
until the courts dissolve it.
There are countries in which the men
do very much as they please and the
wives rather expect that sort OF thing
of their husbands. Among the people
who take that attitude the sacredness
of the marriage tie Is merely formal, and
any study of comparative morals which
leaves such facts out Of view wrongs the
United States. Divorce easily and lightly
obtained are an evil but 1t is not true
that they are worse than marriage main
tanned merely for the sake OF empty ap-
pearances, and when Judged from this
standpoint one can make n good case for
the proposition that the United States
is better rather than worse than the aT-
erage nation in its attitude toward mar
riage.-DetroIt Free Pess.
