Mr.. Harris is the real author of che
so-called editorial attack.
l regret to see that Mr. Harris is
anable to muster up sufficient cour-
age for a real debate with me face

words into his mouth. Since he is
unwilling to meet in that character
Of debate, do not propose to all

behind the coat-tails of sim Will
liams. If Mr.. Harris himself really
believes for a moment that was a
friend to the corporations and tool
of the corporations and voted for
the sugar trust and against the par
eel post, all prior to 1914, let me
inquire how was it that he, honest
messenger boy" that he IS, support
ed me actively for the senate in
1914 against Governor Slaton ard
Mr.. Fielder? Mr.. Harris himself
knows full well that both the inc
situations and ACCUSATIONS i" the
Williams editorial are untrue.
Now let me ask Mr.. Harris the
following questions:
1 How do you stand on the khan
Are you for it, against it, on tho
fence or still "sick?"'

Plaiinest People Are Usually
 i Eiapplest

Don't feel too discouraged because you have not been blessed with good looks. Probably you'll be all the hap pier for not having them. At any rate, it's certainly true that the happiest married couples are almost always the plainest and homeliest men and women.
 The husband and wife who are both as homely as hedge fences are certain of one thing-their lack of beauty re- duces the danger from jealousy to a minimum. They can see the other re- ceive attentions from third person without being haunted by the fear that physical charm is exerting a fascina- tion which is going to wreck their matrimonial ship.
 And how much happier the homely husband and wife are in other ways , The homely man is not afraid to run his own motor car, change Il tire or wash the whole blooming thing himself. The homely woman will bake her own bread and cake without the slightest fear of running her complexion by con tinual peeks int ca hot oven. She isn't afraid of her hands or her marcel wave
 Doll-baby wives and dudes may be all right, but when it comes to real living, leave it to the homely husband and wife.

 At length her hair was smooth and crown on top of her head. Her eyes danced and faint color came to her cheeks. Then-woman-like--'may 1 look in ,the glass?" she begged.
