ON SECOND THOUGHT

The interest of the column in the
matter OF campaign expenditures
never is more than, nominal. The
American people, in their infinite wis
dom, have made 1t imperative that
every actively opposed candidate for
an office of major significance must
pay an army of shiilabars and set up
a ballyhoo- But, just as a matter of
curiosity. we would like to know how
much Mr.. Ford spent in the Michigan
primary.
The real significance of the Michi-
gan primary runs deeper than CON
temporary excavation indicates. 1t
means Mr.. Ford isn't going to be
president.
OF course. we never thought he
would be. But some of our contem-
poraries, Golfers among the number,
were taking the matter seriously
awhile back-
Meanwhile our standpat soul, after
battling light head winds all summer,
has come peacefully to anchorage in
a quiet ilarbor. The experience was
disturbing but not distressing. BY
comparison to one whose standpat
soul for four years, 1910 to 1914 in
elusive, was dashed to the mast in the
teeth of biting, singing gale, the
storm of 1922 was local and of no
VITAL significance.
Now that the sedative is out of the
bonus bill, we trust Senator Capper
will not relax in the work of collecting
the efexen billions of dollars foreign
governments owe this country. The
government could use the money, and
the people, leaning, as is their. won't,
on Senator Capper, will expect him to
get it.
You will remember we suggested a
thine ago that Massachusetts, voters do
not read the New York World, and
for at.reason remain in complete
ignorance of Senator Lodges infamy.
The column, we shall add, is no par
tisan of the senator's. 1t heard his
speech nominating John w. Weeks
for the presidency in 1916. We made
up our mind then, as we slowly thawed
frostbitten extremities in the heat of
a hotel radiator, that we'd never sacri-
flee our personal linen ON the altar of
| the senator's ambition.
We don't know how it affects you,
but the delicacy of the New York gem

presses us. What a narrowing discov-
cry that must be to a sensitive and

Ever since the great war" writes
our favorite confessionist, who is none
other than Clare Sheridan, Europe

dramatic happened. z---z -.

argument against our proposed trip

HEART AND HOME PROBLEMS

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am TWEEN
ty-five years of age My mother died
when 1 was fourteen, when my
youngest sister was born. There were
three other children to take care of
and as we were unable to hire a
servant 1 had to drop my school work
in the eighth grade. My sisters are
now all educated, and 1 would have
been if my mother had lived.

missed the things which almost
every other girl has had. 1 long for
love, romance and companionship-
Two of my sisters are happily mar
ried and the other is making $3.50 a
month. L want to have lovers and
friends. My sister has them and there
us. am now able to buy pretty
clothes and we keep two servants My
sisters and father all say they think l
was brave and good and they hope
some day 1 will be repaid more than
they can give me. They are the
sweetest family in the world and don't
know, as have never told them, wha
l want most. l am afraid it would
make them unhappy.
VIII you please advise me in this
particular and peculiar case?

self to ones family when fate places
such an obligation.
Naturally your life has been color
less and lonely in a way because you
have been too busy't to find pleasure as
most girls do. Altho you feel the lack
of education, you suffer needlessly.
because from your letter I can see that
you have gone beyond the average
high school graduate in your self-im-
proyement
1 would suggest that you travel for
a while. You have stayed home long
enough, and altho you dread going
away by yourself, the experience
would do YOU good. You willereturn
home with new friends and new
visions and will be much more con-
tented. Stop looking for love and ro-
nance for awhile and try to find hap

interesting and colorful as soon as a
person learns how to enjoy them.

deprive other banks of deposits of
government money while acting as
fiscal agents. When taxes are paid or
government securities purchased. the
funds are left on deposit in the private
banks until such time as the treasury
requires them for use in meeting the
national payroll or for other similar
expenses. Then the funds are drawn
out by the Federal Reserve banks and
held at the instant disposition of the
treasurer of the United States. This
involves a large amount of bookkeep-
ing which is done by the Federal Re-

The Tin-Horn sport-2.

1
The kind of men who are attracted
by fast women soon find out that her
wickedness is only camouflage, and
they despise her because she is only
a tin-horn sport, and hasn't the nerve
to play the game out to the end. They
look upon her with contempt as a
welcher, one who wishes to collect
Iall of the perquisities of the Prodigal
I daughter without suffering any of
her penalties.

around with that kind of women sell
