To the Editor Of The Times
I read with much interest a recent
editorial comment, and will say that
I don't quite understand
Perhaps you see more of discomfort,
unrest and inddelity of married people
which you speak of than the other
kind but believe there are many
more happy. contented homes in In
dianapolis than the other kind, and I
believe there are just as many loving,
faithful wives and mothers as there
ever were. And what JOY is greater
than just being a wife and mother?
How beautiful to watch little lives
unfold and to teach them TO live with
themselves, If we always do the
things that we love ourselves for do
tng, we will never he in bad company.
Teach them from tiny tots the way of
truth and right and live it before
them. Teach them high and noble am
billions and to find happiness in serv-
ice to others. We don [ mind If we
have to count the pennies or make
Jacks old pants over for John.
don't believe a woman has TO stay
at home and he old-fashioned to be a
good wife and mother. I think they
should take an interest IN church
work, parent-teacher clubs and many
other organizations and still be a good,
contented and happy wife and mother.

Tweedy 10, Civil War vet
eran, has remained away from the
polls. And thereby hangs a tale
Teddy Roosevelt had no more en-
thusiasic follower than Tweedy
Through all the campaigns of the
Big Stick wielder. Tweedy was to
be found loyalty upholding Roose-
veltian policies.
Then came 1912 and the Roose-
velt bolt from the G. o. P. and the
formation of Bull Moose party
with Teddy as its leader. Tweedy
has always been d strong party
man, but his admiration of Roose-
welt overwhelmed that for his
party, and he "bOlted" too.
Both went down to defeat, repudi-
ated by the people.
Roosevelt has passed away and
Tweedy swore he never would go to
the polls again, disappointed that
the voters should ignore his ideal.
He has kept his promise.
Roosevelt was my idea of a real
man and a real President" Tweedy
says, when asked why he has kent
his promise and stayed away from
the polls. When the people dc
feated Roosevelt they made a mis-.
take, and I shall never vote again
Perhaps I am wrong. But sonel
times it seems that 1 can hear
