Only a Candidate

II ARELY is news less newsy than that in
X which Senator Hiram Johnson an
nounces his candidacy for the presi-
Dental nomination and proclaims his issue.
He has been a candidate so frequently. so
long and of late SO continuously that the
formal announcement smacks strongly of
"wasteful and ridiculous excess" Equally
newsless is his issue II am against the
League of Nations he says, land all it's sub
salaries, membership in which would tend to
participation, directly Or Indirectly, in the
League" For us to enter the world court
OF Justice would Involve us in the political
struggles abroad and "inevitably draw us
into the European mae1strom from which we
fondly imagined the election of 1920 mad
delivered US"
The Senator calls himself progressive"
and fances himself ahead of the times. But
as fact he is anti-progressive, and at least
two thousand years behind. His record in
the last Congress runs parallel with that of
the Old Guard on matters CT domestic mo-
ment, such as the tariff and other questions
on which public interest and private privi-
lege clashed. AS for international policies
he boasts of being an Isolationist and opposes
in its most broadly useful expression that
spirit of peace and goodwill among men
which is the historic heart of the Christian
era. Though he denounces the ultra conserva-
tives" as "materialistic, stolidly and stub
bornly contesting every human advance -
and as standing insensible ito mankind
gradual progress" blind to 1.-The idealistic
and forward-looking, he himself maintains
the while that very attitude, and out of his
own mouth furnishes his condemnation.
1t is hardly imaginable that one of the
major parties of America would nominate
Hiram Johnson for President; the country is
quite safe, no doubt, from that disaster. But
the misfortune is that he remains in the
Senate.

A BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY

NON Moses kept the flock of Jethro, his
tather-in-Iaw, the priest of indian; and he
led the flock to the backside of the desert,
and came to the mountain of God, even to
Horeb. And the angel of the Lord appeared
unto him in a flame of fire out of the
midst of a bush: and he looked, and, be-
hold, the bush burned NTH fire, and the
bush mas not consumed. And Moses said,
I WiH nom turn aside and see this great
sight, why the bush is not burnt" And
when the Lord sap that he turned aside to
see, God called unto him out of the midst
Of the bush, and said, "Meses, Moses"
And he said, "Here am l." And He said

A Kentucllian went to Colorado to attend
convention. In the town where the con-
vention was being held he bumped into a
native of his home county, now living in the
West. 1t was the first meeting between the
two for good many years
"Well JIM" said the delegate, after the
first greetings, chow are you getting
alOng?"
The question seemed superfuous, for Jim
was shabby, down-at-the-hee,s, out-at-the-
elbows and generally of a woebegone as
pect. Still, he asked it, Jim laughed a hollow
laugh.

luck as I've had" he confessed MY wife's

"I'll make a point of doing it," said the
visitor. But look here, Jim, I've got a full

a Dangerous Break Averted

- EMPORARILY, at least, the danger of a
breach between France and England
has been averted. Following Poincare's
provocative speech on Sunday the action OF
his spokesman at the next days conference
Of ambassadors in deferring so freely to Brit
ish opinion came somewhat as a surprise. The
French premier, however, is not unlike other
popular leaders in balancing bold words with
discreet deeds; brandishing the big stick, he
takes care to tread softly.
He can well afford concessions when the
French position in German territory is already
SO strong, and when a further advance for
penalties would be likely to bring new COM
plication rather than increased security. What
more than possession of the Ruhr is really
needful to enforce treaty demands upon Ger
many and to deter her from military aggres

sons? Anything essential to those purposes
will be warranted; but beyond them France
can hardly hear sober call. This, it is good
to note, is now the expressed judgment Of her
own wiser statesmen who are free to speak.
The British attitude, on the eve of the
threatened break, was terseIy set forth by the
London Times. Declaring that the French
insistence upon further action at this iuncture
placed Downing Street in dilemma, the
Times went on to explain: "On the one hand
the prolonged suspension of the operations of
the Inter-Allied Military Commission is due
to occupation of the Ruhr in which this
county has had no part. Britain never
shared the illusion that occupation of the
Ruhr would bring reparations and security.
Our fear indeed was that the form of separate
action chosen by France would produce just
the contrary result. Germany is now in a
state of economic and political chaos, but
under this whrI of contending forces the re-
dictionary militarist movement appears to be
gaining ground. At present this movement
does not threaten the security of any power
but Germany. 1t is possible, however, and in
deed probable, that it has had the result of
increasing the military forces of Germany
above the limit allowed for in the treaty.
We are quite willing to prevent a revival of
German militarism, but we are entitled to ask
that this demand should be consistent and eff
fective." 1t is contended further that if
Poincare had strengthened German democracy
in September when the Stresemann govern
ment was based on a broad coalition, the
forces of reaction would not have gained
Roadway as they have. Finally, 1.-The British
difficulty is that we are asked to join in de-
own madagascar impracticab1e, and that it
is proposed to enforce them by sanctions
and to which we cannot possibly consent"
Whatever the merits of the issue, it is

THE RIGHT AGE FOR WOMEN TO MARRY


tn HE celebrities who are writing about
the proper age for women to marry
~ surely have sense enough to know that
women will marry when they become I'M
pressed with the fact that the men they love
have a good deal to do in deciding this
question for them.
1t will always be a mooted- question as to
when the girl is of the proper age as to assum-
ing the duties and responsibilities of mother
hood, as a. sequence to matrimony.
Nobody will question the necessity for suf-
f1cient maturity, especially physical maturity,
in the married woman as the prospective
mother In my early girlhood 1 was quite
well acquainted with lady who married at
twelve years of age, who lived and died
very respectable person, a good wife and
the mother of six or seven children (maybe
more), we'll formed and intelligent children.
She had particular charm for her beauty and
bore herself we'll in the circle of society in
which she moved How she secured her edu-
cation 1 do not know, but there seemed to
be nothing lacking, so far as outsiders could
determine. Education in those early times
for women was not stressed, as rule.
I was several years younger than this
good wife and mother, and l knew a good
deal of her, a matron, as the wife, and
mother and very little of her girlhood days.
What will these modern commentators say
of such as she, who was barely twelve when
she was married to man much older than
herself and who provided her we'll with lux
uries servants, good clothes, etc, etc?
I have know old maids who married at
forty, or Whereabouts, who were not particu-
larly happy ever afterwards. They had had
full time for consideration and the qualifca-
tions of their mates, but they did not present
themselves as the fortunate few above their
neighbors.
Somebody has written, Marriage is lot
terry" another that marriages are made in
heaven" again, "she made her bed, she
has to lie on it,
In the wind up we will discover that men
are great on persuasion and promises during
their courtship, and generally very masterful
as to their likes and disikes after wedding.
The duty of mothers, as see it, lies in their
duty to advise the daughters, according to
her own experience, and if she does not take
the advice, let it go at that, and thus allow
the girl to take choice for herself which
is about what she will do if she listens to
the man who wants her bad enough to beg
her to marry him.

THE COUNTRY HOME
H. FELTON,

Nearly fifty years ago I was driving along
the big road, going to Gainesville, when l
saw a crowd of people rushing into nelgn-
boris house. little boy, less than ten, mad
found a pistol on dresser and had pointed
it playfully at the face of a three-year-old
brother. 1t was loaded, and the ch1lds race
was black with powder burns, and the oul-
LET had gone into the forehead of the three
year-old and he was dead when l saw him.
Nobody expected those kids to hunt up a
pistol, but the older child was keen for a
pistol experience, never dreaming for an IN
slant that it wbuld kill the baby brother.
1 saw little boy, less than three, sport
ing gun last week. He said, 'Shoot you,
and I said to myself, "You are early In be
ginning but I can foresee what that child
will desire in his late years."
Pistols are handy in mad dog scares, and
perhaps needful in burglar episodes, but p1s-
tolls! like arsenic, should be labeled dan
gerous," and kept strictly under lock and
key-never allowed to be handled by young
people.
