Being a Mother-in-Law Is a

cynical comebacks about the wifes mother-for n o woman has yer hd

Mhv the NOTWITHSTANDING Should e

Why the mother-in-law should ever have appeared to
any one as a figure of fun is a mystery past finding out,
Probably the man who first set the ball of humor rolling
in her direction saw in her a tragic creature about whom we
must either laugh or cry, and he chose laughter as the better
alternative. That is why the jokes about mother-in-law
have always such a salt and bitter taste to them. They are
favored with tears.

AS a matter of fact, women are anxious to get their
daughters married, and they are disposed to welcome their
sons-in-law with open arms, and to love and spoil them il
they will let them. Any man with half a grain of fact in
his system, and a bit of jolly on his tongue. make his
mother-in-law his abject fave and worshipper if he will take
the trouble to do SO.
But women do not want their sons to marry. They
resent their MISUNDERSTANDING, and hate them, sight un-
seen. Their backs are up, and they are ready to scratch the
eyes out of the interlopers who have taken their sons from
them. And so 1t takes a woman with the patience of Job.
and the wisdom of Solomon, and the diplomacy of a Taney-
rand, to win over her mother-in-aw, and make a friend Of
her.

Perhaps human nature, and especially woman nat
VIII have to be made over before this state of affairs cal
changed, and the mother-in-law become persona grata TO
ln-laws. 1t is most human for the mother who has Dor
enid; who has given 1t her very hearts blood; who has s
years sacrificing to 1t, to be filled with an instructive zeal
of the stranger who is loved better than she is. who is
before her, who is closer to her son or daughter than
has ever been.

Last Sunday marked the termination

inasmuch as we feel that each and
every individual did tneir best towards
making 1t so.

comment.

Republican institutions.
The outlook Is gloomy, but way
will be found OUT Of this embarra SSH s
situation.
Constitutional law is undergoing O
severe and gruelling attack. II we arc
to fudge by the reports, which come
from Oklahoma City Oklahoma, where
Governor J. c. Walton is making a
fight for his official life. Judge John H
Cotteral in the United States Distric,
Court dismissed the application for q
restraining order against the prosecu-
ton Of the impeachment charges before
the State Senate impeachment court
upon the ground that the United States
District Court was without jurisdic.
ton. but he granted motion for a re-
hearing and viii, set date for argu.
ment later.
What does this mean? To lay
mind, it seems that counsel for Cover.
nor Walton will Use this latter motion
Is club to be held over the State Sen
ate court usnble should the Chief Ex-
ecutive- be convicted. While It must be
apparent that the United States Court
is without Jurisdiction over legfsla
tive body, before that body acts, It
may have jurisdiction If Gov. Wal.
tons counsel can establish the fact
that their clients rights and privi.eg.
es under the Constitution of the Unit
ed States are being abridged or denied.
Counsel, might also allege that Okla
homa at the present time is without Q
Republican form Of government as prt
vided in that instrument. But then all
of these issues involve a delicate
question, that of States rights. While
colored people have been arguing these
questions for half century without
tangible results. white people are now
coming into THE lime-light raising the
same questions end emphasizing the
fact that 1t may be black mans rights
and privileges involved today and tor
morrow and white mans rights and
privileges endangered day after tomor-
row and the next day.
The points raised in the Elaine riot
ers cases in Arkansas may figure in
this Oklahoma muddle. The Supreme
Court of the United States found itself
forced to intervene to save human life
will it go that far to protect and safe
guard human rights and property?
This is the interesting question and az
a result of the struggle, it may be that
Governor Walton and his attorneys

The winter schedule of the Washington

stood, show greatly curtailed car service
between the District of Columbia line and
Rockville. The Sunday half-hourly sched-
ule to Rockville. which has been main
tanned for many years, will, it is stated. be
cut in two. 1t is also said that all cars
that now run only as far as Montrose, or
Switch No. A. will be taken off, and cars
will be operated less frequently to points
nearer Washington. The weekday sched-
ule to Rockville will remain about as at
present. Reduced traffic during the fall
and winter months and the fact that the
cars it is planned to discontinue do not
pay is given as the reason for curtailing
the schedule.
