THE ILLINOIS HORROR

There is pending in congress an
anti-lynching bill. aimed primarily at
the south. There appears to be need
of such a law in Illinois. The Sucker
state has a long record of wholesale
lynchings which makes any southern
state look like a mere beginner.
We pride ourselves on being a civil
lied and Christian nation and we send
missionaries all over the world. yet
no people on the globe have excelled
in cruelty, inhumanity and barbarity
the citizens of the Illinois mining
field.
We have shot our civilization into
the American Indian. yet the red man
was a mere amateur in barbarism,
when compared with the union coal
miners of Illinois.
We pride ourselves on our system Of
law, yet it is improbable that any
thing can or will be done, in a legal
way about the torture and massacre
of American citizens in one of our
sovereign-American states.
The acts of the mob of union miners
and their sympathizers may be re-
peated at any time What to do about
it Is a question that demands the
serious consideration of the best
minds in the country. All previous eff

HEART and HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State Journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson. I have been
writing to an old acquaintance whom
I love dearly. 1 wrote her often, but
she hardly ever answered my letters.
Now she has entirely quit writing to
me.
She is the only one I love. I have
tried to forget her but 1 cannot. There
are some girls where I live now could
go with, but I could not bear the
thought DIGGING with them when I
love another so much
Should I keep on trying to win this
girls love or should 1 with great
pain quit writing and trying to win
her love? WEARY.
Quit writing and trying to win the
girls love, because it is evident she is
not in the least interested in you.
Go with other girls because they Will
help you forget and be happy again.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am girl
1S years of age and have been going
with a young man about the same age
I thought a lot of him and I guess he
thought a lot of me. We have been
going to the park on Sunday evenings
The last time we went 1 made him
angry. He tells me he isn't coming
out any more. Please tell me how to
win him back. BLUE EYES.
Don't give the young man the sat
isfaction of knowing that you care
because he isn't coming back. His at
titude is very childish and you should
not flatter him by trying to get him
back. Perhaps if you assume indif-
ference he will come of his own ac-
cord.

Ell DOROTHT DIX
Wozad'o H1Ehese Paid Woman Writes.
To the Bridegroom-2.


Ny third tip is get off on the right
foot. Start married life right. The
old adage that good beginning
makes a good ending is nowhere truer
in life than in matrimony
Many men, when they marry, are
so much in love that they have not
the courage to tell their wives the
truth about their financial condition,
or to say mo" to the unreasonable
demands of their brides. Because
Angel Face wants an automobile, or
to live in a fashionable neighborhood,
or to buy period furniture, they crafty
her, and so in debt, and that means
ultimate ruin for that family.
Remember that the average girl, up
to the time she marrieS, has never had
an experience in handling money. She
has no idea of how much it costs to
notion that bills pay themselves.
Therefore it is up to the man, who
knows just how much he can afford
to spend, to decide the scale on which
they shall live. Likewise, while the
rosy glow of the honeymoon lasts,
make your wife an active partner who
will do her share towards making the
firm of Benedick & Co. a success.
There isn't one bride in thousand
who isn't fattered to death at her
husbands treating her like an intelE-
gent human being instead of a baby
doll, and who wouldn't be a thrifty
helpmeet to him, If he would take the
trouble to develop that side of her
character
My fourth tip is go fifty-fifty with
your wife. Don't expect her to keep
the home fires burning while you
roam around. It is just as much
mans business to make things cheer
full and pleasant around the house as
it is a woman's. Don't forget that a
woman's work is the hardest and most
monotonous in the world and that she
needs recreation and change to keep
her going.
Don't be a tightwad. Make your
wife a definite allowance for the
housekeeping. and another for her
own personal needs, and don't ask her
to give you an account OF every penny
ness She earned the money and is
entitled to it.
Ny final tip is don't spare the salve.
Apply it with a liberal hand. Don't
fail to tell your wife how you love her
and appreciate all that she does for
you. Notice her new dress. Compl-
ment her dinners when they are good.
Remember that to a woman her hus-
band is the audience to which she
plays. He is her career. and it is
pretty discouraging to spend your life
never gives you the glad hand, and to
strive, and strive, and never know
whether you succeed or not.
1t is easy to be a good husband be-
cause it takes so little to make a
woman happy-just a little tender
ness. and affection. a few kind words
that's all. Try them on your wife,
son, and you will find it the biggest
paying investment you ever made.

Daily Talk
THE SPECIAL FIFTEEN

Too many of us merely live days
AS tho to live were but to pass with
the hours!
For my part, find the greatest in
spiration in the accomplishment of
definite things. I like to map out a
particular job and go to it and stay
in 1t, until I am able to say that one
more definite task is finished.
On the other hand, find too many
times that 1 have gone thru a day
without these milestones to mark my
way.
1 sat in my library the other day
with books piled everywhere-every-
one bristling with unrevealed treas
ure for me. I looked into several and
noted the dates written on the front
leaves telling when 1 had purchased
them. I sat for quite a time reading
from one that had long ago attracted
my attention. Then I let this book
drop to my lap and speculated as to
the time necessary to finish it. I fig
ured that If I spent but fifteen min
utes each day on a book 1 would fin
ish dozens more than 1 do each year.
And then the idea came that it
would be an excellent plan to reserve
at least fifteen minutes each and every
day for the accomplishment of some
one thing.
Fifteen minutes for the purpose of
practicing at writing to improve ones
expression in conversation - fifteen
minutes in which some flowers might
be sent to some loved one-fifteen
minutes out for a walk where quiet
meditation might help to reveal ones
own self to ones self-fifteen minutes
dedicated to the spiritual side of ones
nature.
1t will surprise you to learn what
daily fifteen minute period is able to
do for you. Perhaps you are living a
life that is only partially awake-and
maybe this fifteen minute plan will
wake you completely!
Fifteen minutes may not seem a
very long or important period. but It
can be. The tide against Napoleon
at Waterloo turned in less time. And
it was this same Napoleon who gave
as his reason for beating the Austrians
that they did rot know the value of
five minutes"

lowest price, the public constantly
maintains a fight against the high
priced man or combination
It is the observation of economists
that while a trust may control prices
and perhaps production for a season,
sooner or later the public will find
cheaper source of supply and break
down the monopoly more certainly
than legal processes can do so.
Students of the rise and fall of
trusts point out that the motive of
business men or tradesmen to join
against the public is, regarded in one
light, self defensive. Every man who
has something to sell and must de-
pend for his living upon selling it at
a price above what 1T costs, feels that
the buying public is in a conspiracy
directed against him in that the pub
lie always is seeking to find some one
who will sell more cheaply.
The indications at Washington are
that there will DE a never-ceasing de-
veIopment of experiment and legisla-
ton directed at the evil of oppressive
monopolies and also a constant con-
structive movement toward the pro-
vision of highly efficient means of CO.
operative Industrial effort.
Lawyers, statesmen and business
men Of all branches of industry are
watching with keen interest the out
come of the two new experiments in
business regulation.

Is RELIEF o. TILE wAY?

The house committee on postoffices
is holding hearings upon a bill intro
duced by Representative Clyde Kelly
Of Pennsylvania. which woald give re-
lief to newspapers by repeating postal
rates which were imposed upon sec
ond class mail matter under the war
revenue act OF 1917. In speaking of
his bill which would repeal the last
two of four increases in postal rates
made under the war revenue act of
1917. Representative Kelly says:
The present postage rates on news
papers and publications were fixed in
the war revenue law passed in 191 z
and are 325 per cent higher than the
pre-war rates. Every one OF the items
carried in that war measure. with the
mail matter, has been modified or re-
peaIed."
The old rate was one cent a pound
on second class matter. The new sys-
tenn divided the country into zones
and fixed the postage rate on the ad-
yertising portion of a newspaper or
other periodical as high as 10 cents a
popnd to the eighth zone.
In 1918 the publishers paid postage
amounting to s11.712,OoO. This year
they Will pay more than $33.0OO,O0
for less service. There seems to be
no good reason why the publishers of
newspapers and magazines should be
singled out to pay this extra war tax
Four separate increases were made
under the war revenue law. Mr..
KeIly's bill would repeal the last two
increases, which would give the gov
ernment IT'S per cent more than the
pre-war rates and would not relieve
the publishing industry of one cent of
the other federal taxes paid in COM
mon with other industries
These war time postage rates have
driven millions of pounds of second
vate channels of distribution. There
is something radically wrong when
private companies can make a hand
some profit at rates less than those
charged in postage. The postal serv-
ice has the organization and the facil-
tiles and should be able to perform
this service of distribution cheaper
than any other enterprise.
The fact that these high rates are
charged on the advertising pages does
not lessen the injustice. Advertising
is not merchandise but information.
The newspapers are information high
ways just as essential to the business
prosperity of this country as the high
ways and waterways. Not a sale can
be made or pound Of goods shipped
without the interchange of informa-
ton. The advertisements are chron-
icles of every advance in industrial
achievement. Without them publica-
ton of the great national newspapers
and magazines would be impossible.
The postal service was designed TO
be a convenience and not a burden.
Speedy passage of the Kelly bill is of
interest to the entire country.
