DOES THE AUTOMOBILE RUIN MATRIMONY?

We now have 1t from the honor able Chaunccy M. Depew. the grand old man Of American business life that the family horse did more than any other thing to promote matri- mony and happy domestic life The i automobile, the venerable gentleman declared, has entirely displaced the 1 old-timc matrimonial agent with the result that matrimony is suffering.
 In common with other more or less close students of public, socio-
 logical and economic affairs, we have been wondering what has been
 hurting the matrimonial business and are grateful to Mir. Depew for put ting us on the right track,
 As a promoter of matrimony It must be admitted that the old geo. haw had it all over the smoother
 riding and faster automobile The
 horse and buggy travelled slower, but got somewhere. The automobile gets
 over more territory but when the i young fellow and his fair companion
 arrive home it seems he is wonder
 ing where the money is to come
 from to pay for the gasoline ana
 the wear and tear. He probably con
 cIudes there will be nothing left to
 justify him asking the pertinent
 question during the next trip.
 The old family horse which hauled
 the ancient family equipase usually
 had good sense when travelling along
 highway after nightfaIl. It was
 only necessary to throw the reins on
 the dashboard and feel quite con-
 tended and happy. With the auto mobile steering wheel to contend , with there is no such thing as loco , motion and spooning at the same
 lime: indeed, it is against the law , Ii seems that AIr. Depew is rish' r about the resultant neglect of mat 7 rimony,

 wouldn't allow anyone else to be d H.yc in if. "But they didn't stat ,- where they did come from" MI ie Dcpcw declared.
 70 As a believer that mankind .h bound to progress toward larger an W better things, Mir. Dcpew is withol t- q peer. His optimism seems to kee K him in the land of the living j ir he lives to pass the century mar or he is willing to leave the rest 6 proyidcncc. As for flapporism 1g thinks 1t is merely a style, The ma ko who has lived through the period O. hoop skirts, bustles, the wasp wal l. which he says ruined the digestl' a. of the women of the time-opln

DAWES DESIDERATtM M
 DJIY DOOMED

Vice President Dawes has begun to make good his promise of some weeks ago that he will take his warfare with the Senate ito the | people"-which means he will men ! tion the subject whenever he has a chance 10 make an address. He has already had first class opportunity. 10 take another verbal walop at the Senate-at the meet ing of Associated Press editors in New York. The gist of his remarks were that the Senate is responsive 10 public sentiment and not to him. Which of course is true. But public sentiment about bill before the Senate is usually divided and 1t is always possible that lone 1ili- busterng senator-or several rep resent fair portion of public sen- timent; minority sentiment, it Is
 
 true, but sometimes the minority sentiment is right, and ultimately becomes a majority sentiment.
 Critics of Mir Dawes-who at the same time are uphoIders of tiIibuster rights-ask Mir, Dawes or anybody else to point out many important bills that were ever passed at ses- sion following one in which they were killed off by a tiIibuster
 The low-Iown on the Senate scrap is that the vice. president wants to make it impossible for the handful of malcontcnts to indulge themselves in flibustcring, If the shoe were on the other foot there would be nc vicc-prcs;dcnUal outcry against tho cIoturc rule,
 Mir Dawes wants it unders'ool that the Senaoc represents the pco pIo, This is true only indirectly, Th' Senate is q body whose members arr there on territorial basis-cacl state. no matter how large or ho' small, is represented by two sena tors. The senators from New AorI have no more power than the pal from Nevada or Rhode Island 0 Delaware This being the case handful of scnators rcprcsenln popuIous states may appear hk rnnrcscnting minority, yet the pee pIe they represent may total a gool Iy nor,ion of the countrys popuIa tion,
 There are Senate rules that ma need reforming; but it is safe to sa Mir. Dawes will not succeed achieving what he is after Il Su,, senators will see through Il r,an very readily and there will n be enough of them to join in u reformation of the rules to bril such a Dawsean dcsidcratum abo' Moreover, Mir. Dawes through undiplomatic methods has greatly r,tatcd the Senate and there is sm' chance of it paying much attenh to his campaign, The more he bro heats the Senate the further he " And himself from the goal he T set,

 Washington, April 24.-This,s in the very nature of things, is Ameri- cas- show town.
 No other capital in the world is so distinctly nothing but a capital. London, Paris, Rome, Berlin, Tokyo, Buenos Aires-they're capitals, But they're something else, besides. They're industrial and commercial centers first, and centers of govern ment only incidentally.
 Washington is just capital. She needs to look the part. People go to New York, Chicago, St. Louis towns like that--on business. They pay no attention to the way these towns look. They may think they look like hades but they don't care.
 They come to Washington from north, south, west and a few miles east just to feast their eyes. Visi- tors even come from abroad, some- times on official errands, and some- times simply to pay their respects, 1 like the Prince of Wales, and it ought to be a point of pride with all Americans to have them favorably | impressed.

 That's the real beauty of Wash lngton-her trees. lining the streets even in the business district, and her little parks--in the business district, too, where, by contrast, such spots of venture look their loveliest These are the features which made the capital as delightful as it was, and, generally speaking. still is.
