TEE COMMANDMENTS FOR
FOR WOMEN

Ambassador George Harvey has
discovered that Moses wrote his
Ten Commandments for men and
not for women and he has recon-
mended that some member OF the
London Authors club write a new
code for the women. He says the
ten commandments written by men
for men leave women to do IS
they please and they have always
done SO. Woman is law unto
herself. She is without restraint
and her freedom threatens the
world.
For instance the doughty col
onel declares in the tenth COM
mandment that man is forbidden
to covet his neighbours wife while
nothing is said about a woman S
coveting her neighbours husband
and she therefore feels at perfect
liberty to do so. Something ne
thinks should be done to restrain
this feeling of freedom on the
part of women or the world may
soon go to smash.
But just what these ten COM
mandmentS for women should be
he gives no sign. At that point
the colonels courage failed him
evidently. He is no Moses.
But it must be remembered
that Colonel Harvey was at the
banquet table when he made the
above foolish remarks; at d BAN
quet in London where the Vol
stead law is unknown. Under the
circumstances one may overlook
the speech of Americas London
Ambassador.

duck hunters yesterday found the
body Of John Ditch, an so year cid
hermit, whose life since he moved
into the woods near here almost a
half century ago, has been mys-

The authorities are seeking to dc.
termine whether the venerable re-
cluse met death through illness or Vi
olence. Two deep cuts in the wrists
are the only marks on the body.

"THE INHERITED NESS

The Republicans are now do
ing their utmost to place the blame
on their predecessors for the mess
in which they now find themselves
but it will not be accepted by the
people whatever the result OF the
election. The Republicans got
full possession of congress on
March 4th. 1919. At once they
began a score of congressional in
vestigations of what the Demo-
Gratis had done during the war but
to this day they found nothing and
they punished no one. 1t IS a
remarkable fact that out OF all
these Investigations, the only crlm-
inal convicted was a Republican.
Two months after the Republi-
can congress got possession OF
Capitol Hill it passed a resolution
declaring the deflation policy of
the Federal Reserve Board that
has we'll nigh bankrupt agriculture
in this country. An orgy OF eH-
travagance prevailed throughout
the land. Wall Street had lost
control of the money market and
the only way to recover the market
was to put the r,nchers on the
pocket book of every farmer in
the United States.
The Republicans and not their
predecessors are directly response
bic for all the depression and eco
nomic cruelty that followed IN the
wake of this drastic detlahon
policy. But there are a thousand
spellbinders o nthe stump now
telling the people that the Harding
administration found a mess OF
unexampled messiness, bequeather
by the previous administration
and that is the reason why things
are no better than what they arc.
Such stuff will not be swallowed
by intelligent voters.
The Lord knows the Demo
Gratis in their eight years have
enough sins to account for as a
party but no party ever showed
cleaner hands in this country
after a great war and for the al
termath OF the war the RepubIl-
cans are wholly responsible. The
inherited mess of messiness IS a
fabrication of party desperation
made especially for States like
Ohio and Indiana.
