But, though so young, the art Of

The Conservation
SquabbIe

1.-THE present conservation department row
is one of long standing in State politics.
1t is political from beginning to end, efforts
to show somebody greatly wronged somebody
to the contrary notwithstanding
In 1924 the salary of Richard Lieber, di-
rector of the conservation department and the
particular friend of one group of politicians
who have long practiced the rule or rum pol
icy in Indiana, was quietly increased from
$4,000 to $4,000 year. So much under cover
was this action that the public did not know
about it until days afterward.
Recently two of the four members OF the
conservation commission met and just as
quietly voted to reduce his salary to the orlgl-
nal figure Immediately there was a great STIR
Lieber was being wronged, we were told. All
around, the public was given to understand
that the action of the two members was terri
bly, opposed to the public interest.
We can see nothing so terrible about put
ting the salary of Colonel Lieber back where it
should have been all the time. The principal
mistake consisted in only two of the four men,
bers of the commission taking the action.
The controversy has conferred about Will
liam A. Guthrie, chairman of the commission,
who was one of the two members who reduced
Herr Lieber's salary. Guthrie insists that he
was acting in good faith and carrying out the
wishes of Governor Jackson. Governor Jack
son, on the other hand, has insisted on accept
ing the "verbal resignation" of Guthrie as
member of the commission
Why the Governor should insist on Guth-
RE resipning if Guthrie had carried out his
wishes is not exactly clear Is it possible that
the Governor has been frightened by the ter
rife noise arising from Washington ST.

BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

n GIRL who is contemplating
n matrimony told me not long
ago that the only thing she
hated about it was giving up her
own name. And 1t was easy to get
her point of view. because she has
very beautiful name, while the man
whom she is going to marry pos.
sesses a very common one.
BY instinct. you see, she belongs
to the Lucy Stone League. although
she is not. in fact, a member.
There is no doubt that many girls
feel a sort of sorrow at parting with
such a personal thing as a name.
But what's the odds so long as we're
happy? We women give up every
thing else when we marry. so why
should we rebel at losing our
names?
If you are proud of and love the
man you are to wed, you will be
glad to be called by his name. It
puts a definite tag upon you, of
course. but if you do not love him
enough to wear his label, then you
had much better forego marriage.
And. while it may mark you as his
possession. does it not also mark
him as yours?
Women give more precious things
than names in marriage. They give
their lives and their bodies and their
minds and their hearts and their
time and their labor. If they be good
and dutiful mates. What is a poor
name compared to these2
But for this giving a wife may
get many things in return. If her
husband becomes famous, she too
gets part of the honor; If he
grows rich she gets her share OF
the money; If he. becomes mighty,
she gets some of the plaudits
And with his name she takes
part of everything he has. She be-
comes no. more his belonging than
he becomes hers. And il there be
possibilities of genius within her. or
