James Whitcomb Riley.

Oct. is the anniversary of the birth
Of James Whitcomb Riley. Who has not re-
sponded to the magic touch upon the heart
strings when this minstrel of life's simple ways
and manners deity sounds his harp of har-
mony? One said: "Suffer little children to
come unto Me; for of such is the kingdom Of
heaven" And Jim Riley took Him at His word,
and all his life his own arms were open and
extended to those whose echoing laughter is
the sweetest music in all the world. Riley
himself was child, child grown up; he un-
derstood the language and the impulses of chill
dren; and these he coined for US into undying
harmonies Of beauty and tenderness Riley
knew and understood the simple ways of rural
America. He has enshrined that knowledge
in melodious verse. He has influenced in a
wholesome way the life Of the nation. We see
the things he saw; we hear the things he heard,
and, seeing and hearing. understanding comes
to, give us complete realization Of that beauty
and inspiration which lies all about us con-
cealed in the simple activities Of the everyday
life.

Infants Are Improving.

Now that women are in politics. serving on
jures and what not, the raising of families has
become somewhat of a problem. Some have
held that woman cannot devote sufficient
time to her civic responsibilities to be an eff
cient citizen without subtracting something Of
her effectiveness as a home maker and mother.
Here the other day youngster was born
who wasted no time. He looked up at his ma
ternal parent and said Mother" in a matter of
fact way. Then, "a few days later, came the
Coney Island child who was already supplied
with IL teeth as he embarked on life's voyage.
After woman suffrage really hits it's stride we
may expect children born with ability to run
about and eat like young guinea pigs.
Able to talk, walk and eat from birth, the
child of the years to come will be no drag on
its mother. Freed from most of the drudgery
Of child training by a. beneficient and under
standing nature, mother, in the not too distant
future, will be as free and untrammeiled as
father, able to devote her surplus time to the
same painstaking, intelligent and devoted study
of politics and government now given to them
by the being who used to be called her lord and

Dishwashin9 as an Issue.

Secretary of Labor Davis can never b
president of the United States because he was
born in Wales. If it we're not for that, re-
cent utterance might seem even more signif-
cance Said the secretary: Anyone who
thinks that stacking pile Of soiled dishes.
sousing them in suds, scalding and rubbing
them dry and putting them away three times
i day is nothing to talk about is all wrong.
Every housewife in the country should have
double board for her sink to cut the endless
task in two." Even if Secretary Davis can
never be president he is a politically minded
person and may be tryins(out some new stuff"
for his associates. II this isn't an example Of
Nineteenth amendment political appeal, what is
it?
This country is rather fond of political SYM
bols. such as the log cabin or the full dinner
pail. Those were fine for the men. Why not,
politically minded person might say, try out
the double drain board kitchen sink to catch
the feminine vote. Politicians have been at
their wits ends for schemes to win the allie
gince of women. Many have done worse than
Mr.. DaviB. All he says of dishwashing is unde-
niably true. Every sink ought to have dou-
BILE drain board, but somehow we question
whether this will win the campaign Of 1924
The opposition would raise the bid and provide
for mechanical washers or even risk asper-
sions of Socialism" by advocating centrally
operated free dishwasheries operated by men.
