AZ INAGINARY CRISIS.

A crisis in the affairs of the Repub-
lican party and of the American peo-
pie has been created by the continued
delay of the senate in fulfilling a sol
ernn pledge of the Republican party
to the American people in the CAM
paign OF 1e20-a pledge TO repeal the
existing Democratic tariff law and en-
act a tariff measure in harmony with
the Republican policy of protection
National Republican.
But really the platform makers did
not put 1t so, strong as that. They
did not dare. They carefully avoided
presenting the tariff question in way
likely to make it a prominent issue in
the campaign. They made it just
strong enough to carry an implied
promise to the manufacturers and at
the same time not arouse the opposi-
ton of the masses.
1t is pointed out by the "Republi-
cam that the Republican majority in
the house of Representatives fulfilled
the pledge of the Republican party
upon this fundamental of the Repub-
lican faith with reasonable prompt
ness Nearly a year ago-on July 1,
1921-the house sent to the senate a
tariff measure based upon the pro-
tective principle. Today the bill, as
amended by the senate finance com
rnfttee. is being debated IN the senate.
The debate, says the Republican" has
degenerated into a filibuster charac-
terized by long-winded partisan
harangues by southern Democratic
senator's
This is the old wicked partner
dodge being made to do duty in extri-
eating the majority senators from a
political dilemma. They know as we'll
as do the Democrats that the people
do not want the Fordney tariff bill to
become a law. If it were put to
referendum vote there IS little room
for doubt that it would be showed un-
der by a bigger majority than that
which overwhelmed Mr.. Cox.
In continuation the Republican"
says: The continuance OF this fill
buster is not only discreditable to the
minority engaged in it, but disgrace
full to a legislative body driven by the
present fiIibuster to the confession
that under its rules it is unable to ex-
ecute the will of its majority mem
bership."
If the majority were honestly eager
to pass the pending tariff bill It would
find q way to do so.
Failure to pass a tariff law at this
session, or further unreasonable delay
in effecting such legislation" says the
Republican" will be disastrous both
to the Republican party and to the
country
The country is willing to take its
chances on the impending disaster.
and apparently the party is in a ~
liar frame of mind.

wonder what it is in hot weather
that melts down our morals, and
makes US do things in July and August
that we would be Mortified at doing in
December and January.
1t is not alone that when we take
our vacations We parade around in
costumes that the police would arrest
us for wearing in public at other times
ners and our morals negligee. We
appear to discard our sense of duty
and propriety along with our straight
fronts, and stiff collars, and the 9TH
er conventional things that hold and
bind US.
Not without reason is the summer
called the silly season, for in it many
of US do the fool things that we spend
the balance of the year repenting.
There's the summer widower, for
instance. In reality. he is a good citi-
zen. He is honest and upright, and
kindly, and generous, and a hustler in
business. and he is strong for doing his
duty in life. Moreover, he is a thoroly
we'll trained, houSe-broken husband,
who punches the home timeclock with
praiseworthy regularity nine months
of the year, and who thinks he~has
got the finest wife, and the most re-
markable children, in the world.
He'd sue you for libel if you would
so much as hint that he would ever fall
for any vamp stuff, or ever get in
volved in any sordid affair with a
woman. None of this Lothario bust
ness for him Not much.
But summer comes. The wife is
away for three or four months with
the children, and it is pretty dreary
sticking around home by himself, and
he jumps at the invitation when
SOMEBODY asks him to a gay little party.
The women are not the sort to
whom he would introduce his wife, but
he has a rafting good time. And one
jolly party leads on to another. There
is a hectic month or two in which
there is lots of booze. and poker. and
joy rides. and road houses, and tod
ding, and shimmying.
And there is one particular girl.
Wonderful eyes. And. so cute She
knows he is married and has a family.
There is no harm he thinks in just a
little summer filtration, and it certain
Iy does make a man feel young again,
to find out he can still make a hit
with the women. and hasn't gotten
rusty on his line of love talk. No
harm at all. And it will all end when
the wife comes home.
Just a summer filtration. A man
watches his step in the winter. but in
the summer he feels that he has the
right to let his feet stray a little. But
he trouble is that when summer ends,
its consequences don't end. and many

ter harvest of the wild oats he sowed

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Ny girl
friend is kind hearted and lovable.
but she is very rough. She laughs
loudly and talks in loud voice. Late
ly boys have been taking an interest in
me and when one of them would ask
to come over 1 have told him to bring
some one else and I would have my
girl friend. I did not realize until
lately that she was SO rough. When
serve cocoa and cookies she throws
cookies at the boys and does things
like that. The boys don't seem to
care, but it gets on my nerves.
Do you think I should tell her 1
think she is rough, or should 1 stop
inviting her?
QUESTIONING
All of us have so many faults that
it is a question whether one of us
should try to correct the faults in an
other. If we are broad minded, how
ever, we are grateful when some one
tells us of a failing so that we can
correct it.
If you are very tactfu1 I believe
you can do your girl friend a great
deal of good by telling her that her
excitement makes her talk and laugh
more loudly than she realizes. Also
you might tell her that you don't
think she should throw your cookies
around 1t will be wiser. however, not
to say too much or she will be deeply
hurt and offended. You might sug-
gest to her that she tell you your big
gest faults and in exchange YOU will
tell her what you consider her biggest
faults.
BLUE-EYED BOBBY: admire
you for your stand for right. but 7
am afraid living up to your ideal
shuts out your human understanding.
Say that you forgive and still love. DO
not lower your own standards in the
future, however.

Russia Becomes Nation
of Short-Haired Women

MOSCOW, Jan. 24-Russia has be-
come nation of short-haired women.
This to the newcomer is supposed to
be a symptom of communist leanings.
in a country where the men formerly
advertised their faith in the soviet
brand of politics by wearing long hair,
heavy boards, leather coats and top
boots. AS matter of fact, the ma
iority of short-haired women are not
communists at all They earned their
short hair by surviving the typhus.
Typhus is as common in Russia as
mumps in the United States. Those
who contract it, men or women have
their heads shaved, and the women
which survive wear short hair be-
cause they have no other. and their
own will not grow back for years, if
ever.
