June---and

ONES Cupid's month, the

and of marriage.

and of marriage.
As the good ship "June We'd
dingS" sets out for the marital
voyage, little Dan Cupid stands
on the quay which the vessel has
just left and calls through his
friendly trumpet to the coupled
passengers: "LOOK OUT FOR
PIRATES!'
Plainly visible ahead is q low.

menacingly marked "Discord."
When the wedding ship is
boarded by the crew of the de-
structive "Discord," how many
Of the now blissful passengers will

PLY into the distant port7
We wish not to cast the blight
of pessimism upon the hopeful
June voyagers. Yet we must say
that never was deeply happy and
nobly successful marriage so diff
cult as in these democratic days;
because never was human individ-
uality, female and male, so gen
orally awake and conscious and
self-insistent.
Which is as it should be. For
democracy means the organiza-
tion of society on the basis of
respect for the Individual.
Democratic Marriage, too, must
be based upon self-respect and
mutual respect. 1t IL this de-
mand which instinctively we feel
and make, but which it is not easy
to grant to another, that consti-
tutes the essential difficulty of
marriage in our days.
The old type of Home, in which
woman was the more or less sub
ordinated and even suppressed,
however glorified, housekeeper-
that type is vanishing.
The modern woman has her vo-
cation or her personal interest
or at any rate her distinct indi-
viduality-which demands and de-
serves respect and fulfllment.
Obviously it is more difficult to
maintain in harmonious relation
ship two distinct individualities
in marriage than it used to be
while husband and wife were
"one." And the husband-or the
wife-the one.
However, it is just such har-
nomination, in the democratic
spirit of fair play, which must go
toward the making of the new
Home.
And Love remains the great
harmonizer who routs the raklsh
craft "Discord" with the uncon-
uuerable wisdom of Concord.

eight years.
These visitors have been special
ambassadors, generals, bright
women and minor poets.
They have come from every old
and new nation on the map.
They have told us our faults,
flattered us and invited us into
the European web.
They buzz around like the
hangers-on of a soft young mil
lionaire.
We are the honey-pot. Every
one of these well-wishers has a
suggestion on what we ought to
do.
They have made a mess of their
own affairs. They have wrecked
Europe. So they feel they are
fully competent to tell our new
world how to run it's life.
Their plans agree in this: We
are to underwrite the ruin. We
are to finance more experiments
in bloodshed, hate and land-grab-
bing.
These friendly visitors call their
work propaganda. They say the
purpose is friendship between
their nation and ours. If they
really wish to extend good will,
we can give them a hint on how
to do it.
Don't lecture us. Don't flatter
us. Come quietly. Look. Listen.
1t is possible that something can
be learned of use to a sick world.
In spite of our ugly faults we
live in peace with all the fifty

There is no armed frontier be-
tween the Germans of Wisconsin
and the Poles of Illinois.
