Benjamin C. Marsh of Washington,
d. C., told a convention Of Kansas
citizens in Topeka on Monday that
corporate business interests are con-
trolling the government. Suppose We
admit this to be true, and still dis
passionate observers probably will feel
that these interests are doing better
job of governing than are Mr. Marsh's
kind of people who are controlling
the Russian government

Dorothy Dix Talks
The Age Limit.
BT DOROTHY DIX
woslG's aiEhess Paid wOnan WFIsaE.

Women also mature in mind much
earlier than men do. Indeed there is
something of the Peter Pan in every
man that keeps him a boy in heart as
long as he lives while women are born
grown up.
Thus it happens that the very quail
ties-the sophisticatiOn, the knowledge
of the world, the eXperience-thata at
tract a young man to woman older
than himself is the rock upon which
they wreck their happiness IL they
marry For the woman has the un-
conscious arrogance of age. She feels
that her judgment is ripper than her
husbands. and that she has right
to boss things, and be the head of the
house, and that is no mans idea OF
a happy home. He wants to run the
show himself, and resents being put in
the small boy attitude of having to
mind mama.
Naturally. there are exceptions to all
rules There have been men who have
married women much older than
themselves, and lived happily ever
after. Their affection was great
enough to bridge the gap of years, and
to blind their eyes to the. fact that
their wives were old, and fat, and griz-
zled while they were still young and
handsome.
Such men are as rare as hens teeth.
Most men want a wife who can be n
playfellow as well as a helpmeet
woman who is a good locker, a wom-
an whom they are proud to introduce
to their friends. They want somebody
to dance with them, not somebody
with whom they have to sit huddled
over the fire while she nurses her
rheumatism, and If they have only an
old lady swathed in red flannel at
home. they are mighty apt to let their
gaze wander towards something fresh
and fair on the outside.
A clinching objection against a
mans marrying a woman older than
himself is that such a. man is the fore
ordained victim of his wife's frantic
jealousy. He may be chaste as ice and
pure as snow. He may be as discreet
as Caesar demanded his wife should
be. He may be so blind that he never
looks at a skirt, and doesn't know
whether his own stenographer is
eighteen, or eighty. Still shall his
wife be green eyed, and make his life
a torment to him by her suspicious.
This is Inevitable because the Wom-
an knows her own limitations, and is
forever contrasting herself with every
pretty, fresh young girl she sees. She
knows that youth calls to youth, and
she pictures her husband longing for
long to his own time of life.
Therefore. son, do not marry n
woman older than yourself Marry "A
of a woman whose age you will be
bound to respect Marry a woman
five or ten years younger than your
self and then you will always be the
same age.

U. S. AFTER TAXES
Rich BoOtIeggers Being Fined
for False Returns.
Booze Crafts Are Being I'm
earthed in Many Cities.

washington. Nov. 17.-Tax-evading
oootieggers. who have amassed wealth
selling illicit booze, are being rounded
up in one OF the most persistent drives
ever begun by the Internal Revenue
bureau. The government is shy many
millions of dollars in revenue because
bootleggers have failed to make re-
turns showing their income.
A new system devised by the bureau
mas put the government on the tracks
OF tax dodgers of this class. The big
Fours" and other similarly designated
cilques that have monopoly on the
Dooze supply and distribution in the
larger cities, are being caught rapidly
thru information supplied by prohibit
ton agents
Officials in Ring.
In one large city discovery was
councilmen and other dignitaries were
active members of the bootlegger
combination Examination of their
bank accounts disclosed fabulous sums
profits. Investigation shows that in
practically every case these taxpayers
failed to account for their income
from liquor sources.
Records seized by prohibition agents
all over the country have led to SEN
sational disclosures involving high Of
ficials- They are actively participant
ing in the profits on big deals. In
many CllleSs pTOnlDlllOn OIAlCldlS NS-
clared. local officials count upon
certain stipulated rake off on all
liquor transactions.
Loses Big Fortune.
One of the so-called kings of boot
1eggers. who made a phenomenal rise
as a financier. has been discovered
with a possible Indebtedness to the
government so large that almost his
entire fortune may be wiped out If the
government collects all of the penal
ties and taxes assessed against him.
In this case his liability has been null
tiplied many times thru the past two
years by failure to report his true
income, for classifying his tax state
ment, and Withholding taxes on liquor
made and sold.
In it's pursuit of the tax evaders
in bootleg ranks the Internal Revenue
bureau is slapping on the maximum
penalties These are very severe.

alarm. The spring is coming when
the brooks through ferny dells will
glide; and in their cells the weary
crooks will wish they were outside.
There are a million crooks in Jail,
who can't enjoy the spring; they
figured out that swiping kale would
be the easy thing. They looked with
scorn on those who wrought with
scythe or AK or saw; they went their
way and soon were caught by minions
OF the law. Id hate to languish in
cell, my face against the bars. when

meath the shining stars. Id hate to
have a wall of stone around nv

horns are blown by lads who play
the game. Outside the men who
