women who give their fnyors to casual
travelling men.
DOES SHE ENVY HIM?
Are we really to infer that this
cnvious, watching wife at home would
like that sort of thing, too? Would
she if she could, spend her days and
nights away from home and chill
dren, in sooty Pullman cars, in Sec
ond-rate, bare hotel bed rooms, in
cheap restaurants where loves sacred
favors might be bought for few dol
lars?
Am 1 a stupid, old-fashioned, re-
dictionary woman in feeling these imi-
tation pleasures to be nothing sort
of disgusting, or is there something
wrong with this travelling gallants
wife? Is life all sex, all intrigue, all
Illicit passion?
Let us suppose the opposite the
case. Let us suppose that this woman
we're travelling agent for some COM
modify, and that she left behind her
q sister with three fine children. Mary
would come back, jaded, dirty, an
noyed with business cares, to find
Margaret busted with all the normal
activities of the happy wife and
mother; club, schools, social affairs,
friendships, books, lectures, dress
maker, and always the exciting and
fascinating problems of the younger
generation.
do men, on the road, make love
to you, Nary" the happier woman
might ask, curiously, pityingly.
"Oh, of course! Men always will.
That's one of the miserable features
of the whole thing" Mary would have
to answer disgustedly.
WHAT WOMEN KNOW.
Because this is n truth that oil
travelling women know. The road is
filled with carelessly amorous men,
who have nothing to lose and every.
thing to gain by a passing affair.
And the real trouble with Mary
and with thousands of other jealous
restless wives isn't really that they
love their husbands, but that they
have an inferiority complex. They
don't want Billy to have anything
they can't share, and in taking that
position they admit that they con
slider their own Municipalities less
than their husbands, they admit
that he is the personality of the two
they are only the shadow.
Not without mel' is their cry
from the hour Of the wedding. "Busi'
ness trip, hunting trip, theater TRIP
not without me! like that" they
exclaim in indignant protest. "He''
my husband, and he's not going to &c
unless I-I-I-go along!"
Is this loye? 1t has nothing to do
with any sort of love except self
love. And hard as it is for a woman
of 81 to accept the fact that her hus'
band is an inscriptions flirt, that h
is morally undeveloped, and so spirit
ually and mentally a moron that h
can put any cheap woman of the un
derworld in her place, if she really
does love him she can only pity hin
pity him as she would if he wert
a foreer or a thief.

as to Cox's chances. The President
interrupted him and said in substance

The Presidents mind seemed inactive
until a discussion was started and
then he would become alert, take an
active part in the discussion, express
ing himself admirably. He thought
better and spoke better than most Of
his associates and displayed all his
oldtime courage.
CONFIDENT OF VICTORY.
The matter of the approaching cleo
ton was mentioned by a member of
the Cabinet. The President expressed
n very strong conviction as to its fav-
orable outcome. He said that he was
confident that Cox would be elected
and that the League would be the
issue with which the people would
mainly concern themselves, and that
on it they would go with Cox.
He said that the people were a good
jury, that they were especially fitted

would be strangely disappointed,
strangely disguised, IN sharing the
casual affairs of an unfaithful hus-
band. Suppose that every time Billy
engaged in a tender, low-toned per-
sonal talk with one of the rouged and
curled, perfumed and over-dressed, or
under-drcssed, drifting, empty-headed
women who are always ready for such
conversational openings, Mary was
obliged to spend an equal amount
of time with the fatuous, dull, vain,
commonplace man who matches The
said woman in type?
Mary would be nauseated at the
mere thought. And with one such ex-
perience she would learn a simple fact
that women seem extraordinarily Sow
in grasping. She would learn that
flirtatious men, men always ready
for affairs, are merely undeyeloped'
Their tastes in certain matters stop
ped short, didn't go on to their mol
NAL states, that's all. A superficial
youthful appetite for merely animal
satisfaction in sex matters has re-
manned with them.
NEVER GREW UP.
They should have outgrown it, many
men and almost oil women usually do,
and gone on to finer and higher con-
ditions, but they never did, and they
are the victims, at 80, of primitive
tastes that should have been replaced
by the stable feelings Of the hus
band and father and citizen, at 20.
Thousands of our fine, intelligent
American men leave this cave-appetitC
behind them, with boyhood, and find
in the good woman who stands be-
side them as an intellectual and
spiritual companion, as well as phys
ically, a mate, all and more than they
ever hoped to ask of life.
These men would rather take the

1t was disturbing to realize how
much Misrepresentation there was,
that the people were being impressed
by it, and that their Judgment was
likely to be adverse. 1t was singular
that they did not know what sin
cere, honest, clean and public-minded

take when it is too late. In time
they will look back on Mr.. Wilson's
administration with no little wonder,
with much admiration, and with re-

What a drop there will be to either
Cox or Harding. II Mr.. Harding is
elected, the contrast will be painful.
1t will be somewhat tragic to have a
man of Mr.. Wilson's intellect and
high standards succeeded by a man
of Mr.. Harding's mediocre mind and
ordinary standards of thinking and
action.

needs a leader, and Mr.. Harding will
