DOROTHY DIX.

Dear Miss Dix: I have been married for five years and we have children. For absolutely no reason whatever, my father-in-law has become very jealous of me, accusing his wife of thinking too much of me, and this has made my wife, who is 6puch like her father in disposition, jealous of her own mother. My mother-in-law is a splendid woman in every way. She has been very kind to me, and am extremely fond of her, but neither of us has ever thought of being sentimental about the other. However, my father-in-law's baseless accusation has broken up all the peace and harmony of our home. What shall I do? PHILADELPHIAN.

But whether he is big or little in body has nothing to do with his . desirability as a husband. There are big, splendid-looking men who are brutes, who bore a woman to death with their stupidity, and who are so shiftless they never can make living. And there are little men who are gentle and kindly and brilliant and entertaining, and who make millions, or set the world oh fire with their genius. Some of the biggest men who ever lived were the little, physically.

 My dear Lillian. what possible chance of happiness do you think you will have if you marry man who has mean, pessimistic, jeal- ous disposition?

Never Proper To Offer To Send
 Substitute
By BETTY VINCENT

HEAR Miss Vincent: l was in-
 troduced to a chap at a party and q week later he called me up and made an engagement to take me to the matinee. l accepted and we had delightful time. When we came home 1 met my mother and she invited him to have supper with us before he left, winch he did. He said he would call up again hut he failed to do this. A month later l was 10 give a party and sent him an invitation. He called up and said his studies prevented him from coming but his brother and friend would be delighted to attend. What do you think of this young man?
 ''DISCOURAGED."
 I am afraid you will have to take the young man at his word. He has made it plain to you that his studies come first. I might add that the young man broke a breach of etiquette when he suggested some one else to come in his place. If one cannot go to a party it is always permissible, of course, to decline, but never considered proper to substitute or to suggest guest.
 Dear Miss Vincent: What is your opinion of a young man who has been very regular and attentive in his calls and then very suddenly stops without a word of explanation? There has been no argument between us and l am at a loss as to what attitude should take. Should telephone him and ask why he doesn't come around or should l write and set an evening for him to call! BROWN EYES"
 Don't write and don't telephone That would look as if you were run hing after him and nothing would make him run faster. If he sincerely cares for you he will return of his own accord.
 Dear Vincent: Recently I met a former school chum of mine whom have not seen for about three years. She invited me Ot her home to meet her folks. Sh also introduced me to her sister. l have found that | to not care as much for this chum as 1 do for her sister. I wish to take her sister out, but cannot do it for the chum is always at home when I call. Should l explain to this chum just what the true situation is? J. L."
 Since you. have never been a sweet heart to this chum you would be doing the right thing to tell her how things are in the beginning. In fact, l think the best way to do would be te- go to the mother and ask her if you may take the young woman you admire to the theatre or a dance some stated evening. This would be the manly thing to do and let the family know just which girl you are calling upon.

Don't marry a morose man. Don't marry a quarrelsome man. Don't marry a jealous man. Don't marry a man who doesn't like peO- pie, and who isn't liked by others. Don't marry man who doesn't trust you, and who has so little faith in you that he thinks that every time you speak to another man you are plotting tos.dO some thing wrong.
 Above all, don't marry a man who doesn't look at life from the same standpoint that you do. and who doesn't enjoy doing, the things you do. The only happy marriages are the cOngenial ones. You will get mighty tired of a lifetime fight ing with q man every time you want to go to the movies or ask a friend to dinner.

Evidently your kindly attentions to your mother-in-law have been miscon- strued---possibly because it is so rare for a son-in-law to be nice to mother in-law, that his motives look suspicious. However that may be, it is condition and not a theory with which you have to deal, and your only remedy is sepa- ration.

 This is new and interesting angle of the in-law problem, though, as a matter of fact, mothers-in-law are more apt to look with a kindlier eye upon their sons-in-law than they are upon their daughters-in- law, and perhaps any engaging youth could put the come-hither over his wife's mother fl, he took the trouble to do so.

LINCOLN AND THE SUPREME
COURT

THE EDITOR recently heard a La
L Toilette speaker say that Abra-
ham Lincoln in his day was of the
same mind as Senator LaFollette now
is, regarding decisions Of the SUI
preme court and that Lincoln denied
the right of the supreme court to
pass upon the constitutionality of
acts of congress.
In speech at Galena, Illinois,
August 1, 1856, Lincoln publicly ex-
pressed himself to the effect that
acts of congress dealing with slavery
should be submitted to the supreme
court and to no other authority and
that the decision of the supreme
court should be binding. He said:
81 grant you that an demonstrations
al act is not law; but / do not ask
and will not take your construction,
of the constitution. The supreme
court of the United States is the trib-
-unal to decide such question, and
we will submit to its decisions, and
if you do also there will be an end
of the natter
The following year the supreme
court handed down the bred Scott
decision which Lincoln believed to
be wrong and in speech in Spring.
field, Illinois, he said: "Judicial de-
cisions have two uses: First, to alb
solutely determine the case decided,
and second, to indicate to the public
how other similar cases will be de-
cided when they arise. We believe
as much as Judge Douglas (perhaps
more) in obedience to, and respect
for, the judicial department of gov
eminent. We think its decisions on
constitutional questions, when fully
settled, should control not only the
particular cases decided, but the gen.
eral policy of the country, subject to
be disturbed only by amendments of
the constitution, as provided in that
instrument itself. More than this
would be revolution. But we think
the bred Scott decision is erroneous.
We know that the court that made
it, has often overruled its own deci-
sions, and we shall do what we can
to have it overrule this. We offer
no resistance to it."
This was a plain statement of
man who, while he did not agree
with the decisions, of the court, did
not hold that they should not be
obeyed, or movement should be
started to rob the supreme court of
its authority to finally pass upon
the constitutionality of acts of con-
gress.

er who signs himself, "a. Voter
He says he is rather confused with
all this political talk and wants to
know is this fellow LaFollette who is
running for president, the same man
who so many people were condemn
ing during the war for his failure
to support war measures. If this is
the same man the writer wants to
know what he has done since, to en-
title him to support for the presi-
dency.
Yes, this is the same LaFollette
and he has done nothing since the
war that should cause any patriotic
citizen to change his opinion of the
men. @

HIGHLAND RATE

COME folks around here say they
~ are going to vote for the Bone
Power bill to relieve the Highland
Waterusers from the excessive pump
ing costs. In the first place, If re-
lief must be had, the jackrabbits
will once more be supreme on the
Highlands, before any municipality
will be prepared to furnish electric
ity to the farmers under the terms
of the Bone bill; in the second place
the cities of Seattle and Tacoma
could pot possibly supply electric
power to the Highland farmers as
cheaply as they are buying it now.
The Highland Waterusers use an
ually 2,56S,O40 XVIII for which they
pay s24,776.90. This is an average
of 1856 cents per XVIII. The
much heralded cent rate of the
Cleveland, Ohio, municipal plant,
which is much quoted by the propo-
nents of the Bone bill would be ruin
GUS to the Highland farmers. With
such rate they would pay ST., 900 a
year instead Of $4,000 to operate
their pumps.
The more we analyze the Bone bill
the more confirmed we become in
the belief that the only results the
people of this district can expect from
it is higher taxes. Speaking of tax
es it is interesting to note that in
the city of Spokane where there is
no municipal electric plant the tax
rate is 1917 mills, in Tacoma the tax
rate is 231k mills and in Seattle 80
mills.
If the people here want higher
taxes and no benefits, II they want
retarded development of eastern
Washington, they should vote for Ini-
tiative No. So.
