REVELATIONS OF A WIFE

How Harry Underwood Solved the
Problem.
What's the natter Quickl" de-
nnanded Harry Underwood IN low
tones. which sun were imperative
enough to rally my panic stricken
nerves.
''Dicky has just come into the cafe
with a Miss Fairfax, some one you
don't know" I returned, my eyes
fixed on my plate.
I didn't dare look up. The bottom
seemed to have fallen out OF the world
To think that my husband, who,
knew, hated tea rooms should have

There was no possible explanation
that could make to him. couldn't
betray Lillian. under whose instruc-
tons every movement Of my life was
now arranged, and knew that while
in the old days, when Diclcy counted
Lillian Underwood's husband his best
friend he wouldn't have objected 10
my mnching with Harry, yet now he
would have just cause for real dis
pleasure If he saw meas it would APP
pear to Misunderstanding with the man
who had forfeited all rights to friend
ship, even to decent companionship.
THE devil you say!" Mr.. Underwood
exclaimed, and then. after only an in
stants pause, he muttered rapidly:
Look here, little girl, you must buck
up and follow my lead. Trust your
Uncle Dudley. and don't contradict a
thing I say. Look up now, and if you
see them, smile, say something to me
and beckon them this way. I'll follow
suit And don't forget one thing-the
Dicky bird hasn't the ghost OF a right
TO kick. I know the little Fairfax. He
was rushing her quite bit before I
went to South America"
Whether he shrewdly intended that
effect or not, his last words gave just
the necessary flip of indignation to
my nerves. The numberless incidents
which had reused my Jealous anger
against Edith Fairfax rushed upon
me, almost drowning the fear and hui

of Dfcky. / raised my head as Harry

I fancy I put just the right amount
of surprise and pleasure into my smile

so that Diclly could not help but hear
why, here's Dicky!"
Mr.. Underwood turned around
sprang to his feet and advanced upon
Dicky with overwhelming friendliness.

the luck? How are you, Miss Fairfax?

THE WAY TO ELIMINATE A BAD
LAW Is 10 ENFORCE IT.

THE meanest man" story is for
ever being retold in the daily press.
WASHINGTON, at the moment, is in
clined to award the palm TO those
responsible for the threatened pick
citing" OF the white house by the wives
with the avowed end and aim Of fore
ing President Harding to extend par
dons to these offenders.
without discussing the question OF
the rights and wrongs OF the sentences
given the one hundred and fourteen
men who are now in jail in this coun
try for political offenses, it can be
noted that the law is the law. Gener-
atoms Of experience have proved that
the way to eliminate a bad law is to
enforce it, and that law unenforced
is verse than no law. These offenders
were jailed after due trial for proved
offenses against existing laws
It may well be that pardons may be
given some or all of them. But If such
a course is pursued, it will be because,
in the judgment of the department Of
justice, the ends OF justice viii thus
be best served and not because propa-
gandists use women and children in
an attempt to play upon the sympa
thles of the public. Hardly the MUIR
derer, the absconder, the robber, the
train wrecker, the bandit, who cannot
find some woman to weep, and some
child to cry after him; but there are
no reasons why he should not suffer
that society be protected,
The president has indicated very
plainly that he is not to be moved BY
spectacular means of this kind; that
every case must be decided upon its
merits He has the support of all right
thinking citizens in his stand. Mean
while Washington regards as likely
candidates for the "meanest men"
men crowns those individuals who
organize and use helpless children, and
their child love for the fathers in
whom they Loyalty believe, to embar-
rass the president and attempt to force
him to do for sentimental reasons that
which his oath of office prevents his
doing for any other reason than to
serve the best interests of his coun-
try

THE WHITE cARNATloN.

Here's to the white carnation
Sturdy and spicy and sweet
Waiting a breath OF perfume

Bringing a freight OF gladness
Wherever the breezes blow;
Here's TO the white carnation
Pure as the virgin snow
This is the flower for mother,
Wear Il on Mothers Day:
Flower for rain and sunshine.
Winsome, gallant and gay.
Wear Il IN mothers honor
Pinned TO the coats lapel:
Wear II in the belt and corsage,
For her who has loved you well.
The mother in Iowly cabin,
The mother in place han.
Is ever the truest and dearest.
And ever the best OF all.
in travail and pain she bore us.
In laughter and love she nursed:
And he would shame the mother

Tired and wan too often.
Weary and weak at times,
But always fun Of courage
That thrills when the future chimes;
Mother, with hands ton-hardened,
Mother in pearls and lace,
The light Of heavenly beauty
Shines IN her tender face
So here's to the white carnation,
Wear IL on Mothers Day.
Flower that blooms for mother.
Winsome, gallant and gay.
Flower of perfect sweetness,
Flcww for hut and hall
Here's 10 the white carnation.

LAFoLLETTE SHOWS UP SEcRE-
TARY FALL

Secretary Of the Interior A. B. Fall,
OF New Mexico, who leased naval oil
reserve No 8, IN Teapot Dome, Wyo.,
to the Mammoth Oil company. a Sin
clair corporation. which in turn is a
OIL subsidiary, was characterized as a
consistent opponent of the policy OF
conservation by Senator Robert NJ. La
Toilette (Rep., Wis.), in a recent speech
dealing with this vast oil scandal as
Follows:
Il was astounded when learned that
the navy department had turned the
administration of these naval oil re-
serves over to the interior department.
1t can be said for the present secre-
tary of the interior that he has always
frankly declared his position on public
questions. AS a memer Of the senate
his attitude toward the public domain
generally, and the naval oil reserves
in particular, was well understood dur
ing his service as a member of this
body. Upon every measure that in
volved the conservation Of natural re-
sources upon the public lands Senator
Fall, from New Mexico, was the able
lopponent of the policy of conservation
as established under Roosevelt and
thereafter maintained as a general pol
icy of administration by his success
sors. His position, as shown by speech
and vote while a member of this
body, makes it very plain that he was
opposed to strengthening and extend
ing conservation and In favor of weak
ening and impairing the policy.
During the long fight over the naval
oil reserves, which was the subject of
sharp contention from time to time
on the floor Of the senate, the present
secretary of the interior, then a mem
Der of the senate, was not conspicuous
as a guardian OF naval oil reserves.
Everybody familiar with his record will
admit that to be true. He voted and
spoke against provisions offered to
safeguard those valuable reserves
