phY TO the solution OF every other
problem, just throw up their hands
and quit without ever making any
honest effort to find their way out
OF their domestic muddles?
This is the conundrum Of the ages
whose riddle nobody has unriddled.
Nobody has ever been able to eX-
plain how a man can be q Solomon
abroad and a fool at home; how he
can be far-seeing in the business or
professional world, and blind to
everything in the family circle. But
so it is.
If the average husband displayed
as little gumption in store or office
as he does in his own home, he
would never get above being an err
rand boy. If he used as little tact
and diplomacy in handling other
people as he does in handling his
wife, he wouldn't have a single GUS
toner or client left. If he bungled
his business affairs as he does his
domestic affairs, he would land in
the bankruptcy court.
The chief reason that marriage is
failure is because there is seldom
more than one lobe of a mans brain
married. He gives his heart to his
wife. He bestows his name upon
her. and endows her with all his
worldly goods, except his gray mat
ter Yet that is the thing that is
most needed in dealing with a wom-
an, and in making marriage a sue
cess.
When man makes a mistake IT
business he doesn't chuck the whole
thing into the discard. He sets to
work to correct his error. When a
man makes a bad bargain he doesn't
quit cold. He sharpens his wits ana
tries to turn what looks like a loss
! into a profit.
But when a man makes mistake
in matrimony he throws up his
hands and says ooh, DAMN or
| "Kismet," or whatever his phrase
| for the hopeless and inevitable IS
| and he either beats it to Reno or
ehuts his teeth. and bows his heac
| and settles down to endure his mis-
cry.
It does not seem to occur to him
that there are very few situations sc
| bad that they cannot be changed by
a little deft manipulation, and that
practically any bride can be taught
to be a good wife if her HUSBAND
vii! spend as much time and trouble
III training her as he would in train
| ing a green salesman.
The difficulty with men is that
thew are too optimistic before mar
riage. and too pessinlistic afterWard
When one marries he thinks he is
getting a wife who will not only
have the disposition Of an angel
but the culinary ability OF CHEF
and the financial sasacity OF q
money lender.

make a bad matter Worse by visiting
his chagrin and disappointment on
his wife.
He doesn't say, This girl has got
good qualities in her, or else I
wouldn't have fallen in love with
her, so will help her develop them"
he doesn't say, She's young, and
she'd fond OF me, and anxious to
please me, so 1 will teach her how
to be the sort of wife I need" No.
He berates her faults, and is forever
throwing her mistakes and weak
nesses i'll her face, which naturally
makes her get her back up, and
fight back like a cat.
Every man wants to come home
at night to comfortable home and
well-cooked dinner, but did you
ever hear of a man who married q
girl who didn't know how to cook
sending her to a domestic science
school. Or studying cookbooks with
Ter and encouraging her in every
way to learn how to cook? Never.
Instead a man will growl over his
food and say SO many mean and in
sulting things to his wife about
what a bum housekeeper she is that
she not only doesn't care whether
the food is good or bad, but nothing
but the grace of God keeps ner from
putting Rough on Rats in the coffee
Yet that very same man, who
never goes intelligently about edu-
eating his wife in the fine art #
cooking, would send a bright clerk
to a commercial school to take an
additional course in stenography OF
bookkeeping. And he would appre-
ciate that the way to get better
service out of employees is to encour-
age them, not discourage them.

busy electing their delegates to the

Teapot Dome Inspires
Them to Action

Especial to The Daily Werker)

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March g.
"On to st. Paul" was the slogan is
sued by the Workers Party of Phila-
.delphia at the mass meeting held in
connection with the Teapot Dome
scandal now under investigation in
Washington. Comrade Baker of
Machinists Union made a survey of
the oil scandal and pointed out that
it is not a matter Of individual cor
ruption but that the entire govern
ment is corrupt being a tool Of big
business interests.
Comrade Sklaroff with facts in his
hands showed that American history
is full of Teapot Domes and that the
present oil scandal is but one link in
Song chain Of corruption of capital
ist governments.
Continuous applause greeted Com
rade Weinstone's speech in which he
enumerated the part played by the
leaders of both republican and demo-
cratic parties in the notorious oil
scandal. His appeal to work for
the establishment of a Workers and
Farmers Government and to sup
port the May Both Convention met
with great enthusiasm.
Comrade Jakira, District Organizer
Workers Party, pointed out the role
of the Workers Party in the Amer
lean labor movement and made an
appeal to the audience to Join the
Party to build the trade union move
ment and to carry on a campaign
for establishment Of a labor party
in Philadelphia.
A resolution was adopted unanim-
ously, condemning both republican
and democratic parties as agents Of
big business interests and pledging
full support to the labor party move
ment.
The resolution in the concluding
part reads:
Whereas a Convention has been
called for May 30th at st. Paul, by
the Farmer-Labor Party Of Mime
sofa, the Federated Farmer Labor
Party, the Farmer-Labor parties Of
Washington, Montana and South Da-
kota, and other organizations, for
the nomination Of a farmer-labor
candidate for president and the
adoption Of national platform and
this convention gives the opportunity
to create the mass Farmer-Labor
Party which will carry on the fight
for a Workers and Farmers Gov
eminent,
"Be it resolved, that we, workers
in mass meeting aNiembled, endorse
this May 30th Convention and pledge
ourselves to carry on a vigorous cam
paign in the trade unions and other
labor organizations of Philadelphia,
urging them to send delegates to that
convention and that we call upon all
working class organizations to re-
pudiate both the republican and de-
mocratic parties and to proceed with
the organization of a class Labor
Party in Philadelphia"

heard, and when he does try to

Shoots Unbiased Report.
Smooth was chairman Of this COM
mittee when it was ordered by the
senate, year ago last summer, to
inquire ipto LaFollette's charge that
the leasing of the naval oil reserves
was a stupendous fraud on the public,
based on a criminal conspiracy. For
nearly a year he was too busy to
press the matter. Then with reluc-
lance he started hearings, and filed
triumphantly the report of the two
unbiased experts" who made a re-
port which suggested that Teapot
Dome had only a small fraction of
the value that formerly had been
placed upon It. Then Senator Walsh
of Montana began his examination of
witnesses, and looked into the records
Of the two experts, and into the sud-
den riches displayed by former Sec
rotary Fall. Smoot began visibly to
wilt.
SmOOt, Doheny and Company.
December came, and Smoot took
another chairmanship, but remained
on the public lands committee. He
has attended almost every session in
the long and sensational inquiry
which Walsh has developed. At first
Smoot and Lenroot strove to protect
Fall and the leases, but soon they had
to drop that line Of obstruction. There
came the day Of Doheny's confession
that he had paid 100000 in bank
notes to Fall. That was the day
that Smoot slipped a note into Dohe-
ny's hand, and Doheny, when Walsh
called upon him to show it, dug from
his pocket a heap of tiny fragments
Of paper, saying that Smoot had
merely asked him to meet Smoot in
the latter's room after the session.

luton providing for an investigation

publicans and two democrats, elected
by the Senate.
Nomination and election Of the
committee was begun by the Senate
Immediately after passage Of the
resolution.
At the last minute on the motion
of Senator Willis, Ohio, the resolu-
ton was softened in language by
striking out the preamble which
cited alleged incompetency of the
encouragement. AS changed the
resolution reads:
Text of Resolution.

senator's consisting of three members
Of the majority and two members Of
the minority be authorized AID

general Of the United States, to pro-
secute properly violators Of the

ton act against monopolies and un-
lawful restraint Of trade; the alleged
neglect and failure of the said Harry
M. Daugherty, attorney-general of
the United States, to arrest and pro-
secute Albert B. Fall, Harry F. Sin
clair, E. l.. Doheny, G. r. Forbes and
their co-conspirators in defrauding
the government as we'll as the alleged
neglect and failure of the said attor-
ney-general to arrest and prosecute
many others for violation of federal
statutes and his alleged failure to
prosecute properly, efficiently and

interested as a party, plaintiff or
defendant And said committee is
further directed to inspire into, in
vestigate and report to the Senate
