HOME WRECKING REQUIRES
INSIDE HELP
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

Somebody wants another law, this time to punish
love pirates The person who nvades the great Aeri
can home and proceeds to wreck it, should come in
for drastic punishment, learn. The sleek
haired villain who makes advances his friends
wife should be jailed The sweet young girl casts
sleeps eyes her best chums husband deserves the
limit of the law. But honestly, do they?
You can't wreck anybody's home unless you have
some inside help.
Men aresnot in the habit of invading pals house
and carrying off the wife, wilnilly Neither do the
coy gances of vapd young girl make much of an
impression somebody's else husband unless the hus
band does reciprocatng.
The great American home that be wrecked so
easily hardly worth preserving. If Friend Husband
does not succumb to pair of bright eyes the
chances that he will to another. And wife who
is so easily persuaded would inevitably go wrong,
later
band by law would be a mighty sorry wife. And a
the first place.
This thing of having laws to keep ourselves decent
is ridiculous and ought to make ashamed.
If we have not yet acquired enough personal de-
cency to do what is right, might well go be-
ing wicked, for we are hardly worth saving.
AL the millions of laws already have enforced
upon ourselves stamp very weak people. Half
of the legal measures must obey should follow
naturally just from honesty and uprghtness.
Sometimes 1t looks If thought much of
law that forget personal integrity consideration
of others We have many institutions for neg
lected children, and many courts that will grant
large amony, and many other people looking after
habits and morals that fast losing all sense
of personal responsibility 70 actions.
If the American home has to be proteced by law to
be preserved, 1t is good gone

WESTON HAS SUCCEEDED

Edward Payson Weston. the famous walker re-
GENTLY defeated in his hike against Poverty, has
quietly settled into Job as handy man at Kingston

Poor old mani" many may say but It is sym

Spain Left Behind

Spain stands practically where

scite.
Were it not for the voice If Ibanez

would seem dead to tie call of prog

But you can't believe that the old
red blood has all turned to water,
that the indomitable courage of such
men as Cortez, Pizarro and Balboa
has petered out in lethargy.
If it takes shock and mistreatment
to arouse people, Rivera may yet
prove a useful instrument of fate,

Spain to rebel against a fourteenth
century order of things. he will not

a MATTER OF REVENUE

N Under-Secretary Winston who acts as secretary
Of the Treasury in the absence of Mr.. Mellon says
the country could not stand the loss of revenue that
would follow any tariff reduction Others doubtless
have the same notion. Is 1t necessarily sound?
Suppose the tariff rate given article is so
high that it completely bars competition from other
countries Then this country doesn't collect any reve-
nue. from that source--does it?
Suppose that rate were lowered to the pNnt that
would permit of the said foreign goods to

Speaker Nick Longworth's public admission that the

Massachusetts where his political patron, Chairman

We Lack Policy

The one hundred and f1ftieth an
niversary of this Republics birth
finds it without one of the great
ESSENTIALS well defined foreign
policy.
Outside of the Monroe Doctrine,
which has degenerated into such an
excuse for meddling as keeps Latin
America mad half the time and
scared the other half. we do little
but wobble around.
When an international row de-
velops, you can tell pretty well what
France. England or Japan will do,
but nobody on Gods green earth
can tell hat the United States will
do.
Six months before we got into the
European war we were electing Will
son with prayerful thanks that he
had kept us out Of 1t.
Two years after we had glorified
League of Nations as the only
achievement that could make the
war worthwhile, we turned our
backs on it.
Mexico doesn't know to this day
whether our attitude toward her is
based on the idea Of intervening
some time when we can find a good
excuse. or OF never intervening, no
matter how great the provocation.
One moment she is suspecting us
as too commercially soft to protect
our legitimate rights, and the next
as too commercially hard to let
weaker nations enjoy theirs without

A RIGHTEOUS DEMAND

The demand Of few outstanding Republican
women that the laws be changed so as to permit
women to select their own leaders will be indorsed
by all decent thinking men.
The reason they are now refused such partici
patton in the Republican organization is apparent
and patent
AS long as the machine can depende upon party
loyalty to deliver the votes of women in November,
1t can afford to disregard the ideas and ideals of the
forward looking women of the party in the ppi
maries and in the party discussions
few women of independent thought and clear
IDEALS might protest against some of the practices
II they were permitted to get close view of the way
the wheels have gone round
1t is highly desirable to keep down protest and
so the men have furnished the women Of the State
with their leaders, carefully chosen to prevent pro-
test and to be useful on occasion.
1t is sign of progress when even few women
are asking why, if they to have separate or
ganization for political work. they are not given the
right to select their leaders.
The answer is that WISCONSIN might be endan-
gered at times by suct policy of representation

Mexico Celebrates Her
Cry Of Dolores Day
Today.
BY NJ. f. Tracy

This IS Mexicos fourth OF July
the 10th anniversary of 'El Critic
Del Dolores"
A jargon phrase to unaccustomed
ears, but one that breathes the fire
and romance of Latin America once
you understand it.
How formal and self-assured dec
laration of independence" sounds
when compared to "cry for Dolores. "
You get the picture as though by
lightning flash-aspiration in the
midst of hopelessness, audacity born
Of despair-"El Critic Del Dolores"
You scarcely have to be told that
it was sent forth in the dark, that
it was first proclaimed to the eager,
waiting multitudes just before mid
night.
What you do have to be told, per
haps, is that a priest conceived It.
gave it voice and died for it.
Unlike Washington, Adams. Ham
ilton, Franklin and most of our great
patriots, Hidalgo was not permitted
to behold the glory of his realized
dream.
When they led him out in the gray
dawn to be shot like a common felon
he put his white hand over his heart
so that the firing squad could take
better aim.
At each corner Of the Alondiga in
Guanajuato, just under the caves,
there is an iron hook, and on each
hook there hung for many years a
human head. One was Hidalgo's.
The other three were those Of his
principal associates.
We are blessed with few such grim
mementoes Of patriotism.
