yet 1t sometimes happens that mother love IS so weak that a mother will leave her young and depart to parts unknown with anoth- CT man.
 If she is caught, what charge is brought?
 When a man abandons his family and Is caught he is charged with abandonment and non-support,
 In case of the eloping mother she is not charged with support be- cause in theory she is not the bread winner. Some other minor charges might be placed, but that is the worst that will happen.
 Judges and Juries are we'll dis posed toward the fair sex even when q mother has abandoned her young.
 The wrong such woman does to her children cannot be weighed with words.

FOR FARMERS VOTES

Reverberations from Houston point to the fact that the Demo- crats are going 10 take a logical political attitude toward one big is- sue which promises many votes, ThiA of course, refers 10 the farm issue.
 The grand old party, by practical ly kicking the farmers down the stairs, left grand opening for the Democrats. If the Democrats can convince the huge farm population that they are friends of the farm CTS" there is political profit in the process.
 Whether the Democrats can de- liver what they promise the farmers is another question entirely But then, many a promise. made with more or less good faith by both parties in the past, has not yet been delivered.
 The agricultural states have been consistently Republican for the most part. But some of them have not been so overwhelmingly Re publican as to insure a Republican victory all the time. It may be that despite the anti-farmer attitude or the grand old party a majority Of the dsgruntled brethren may still have more confidence in the Re publicans than in the Democrats; but that is point yet to be settled at this election and how it is set tied depends at least in part upon the type of agricultural relief the Democrats promise.
 Hence the agricultural plank adopted by the Democratic con- vention is vastly important. per haps the most important plank in the platform, considered from a vote getting standpoint. By placing representatives of farm organiZa- tions on the resolutions committee the Democrats have followed the ad- vice of canny political weather Nanes who have reason 10 thlnk they know which way the political winds are blowing this year. plank more favorable to agricul- ture than the Republican party adopted was a foregone conclusion. The Republican party, fully cog nizant of this possibility, believed the farmers would stay with the party regardless Of the platform plank adopted. Until November whether they will or not is a mat ter of opinion. In a tight election between Hoover and Smith, how ever, the defection of only one farm state to the Democratic ranks might be decisive.

CONCERNING FORFEITs

The idea of the forfeit is simply to penalize those who miss the game and reward those who are clever enough not to get caught
 There is always in d party tight wad who will do any forfeit rather than come across. On the other hand, there are always enough proud and sensitive souls to make it pleasant and lucrative for those who, in the long run. have rot had any forfeils imposed on them at all.
 The crowd judges by exclamation whether the forfeit is properly per- formed or not. If not. it must be re- peated or a chip paid.
 Let us state right now that this matter of forfeits need not be nearly so hopeless or pointless as it first sounds. rorfeits when demanded and paid, should have some string to them and yet be easy and amus- ing to extract from the victim.
 We make a few suggestions as to forfeits. Any bright and demoniacal soul can invent worthy mates for these:
