Real love is like honeysuckle:

tear it out by the roots-but

In the average fashionable
divorce, the wife gets the
custody of the PekingeSe, the
husband gets the custody of
the cocktail-shaker. and the
gigolo gets the custody of the
wife.
You can put her on a diet,
on an allowance. on probation,
or on a jury-but you can't
put a modern woman on the
SHELF!
Even if you can't buy any,

What All the
Shooting Is About

In a summary on the re-
suit of the legislative hear
ings are set forth certain
facts of the utmost impor-
tance in the determination of
public opinion.
Thus thousands of wit
nesses were eXamined-ln
private. Since only a very
small per cent were permit
ted to testify in public it
may be assumed that where
the great majority did not
testify to the advantage of
the mayor they did not have
anything to offer against
him.
Thus this-in the mayors
languages:
Not one witness testi-
fled that any act of mine,
either of commission or
omission, was influenced
by any improper or illegal
or dishonest consideration.
Thus again - in his lam
guage:
mot one witness testified
that I had ever done any
thing, either by malfeasance,
misfeasance, or nonfeasance,
affecting injuriously the
City of New York or its in
habitants. "
More impressive far, in
determining the verdict of
the 100000 people Of the
city, is this:
with all the power of the
State of New York behind
the investigation, with all the
bank and brokerage accounts
of every person in the city
open to Mr.. Seabury, with a
staff of assistants, investiga-
tors and accountants en-
gagged for more than a year,
he was unable to find or to
charge that I had caused the
wrongful expenditure or loss
of a single dollar out of the
upwards of five billions of
dollars expended during the
whole administration as
mayor, -
Under these circumstances,
the average man will wonder
what all the shooting is
about.

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson :

sadness that has come into
your life.
Don't linger over it unneces-
sarily. Don't make a WalloW
of regret, nor a racket of self
pity; but take a good, honest
look. Stop making alibis. Stop
blaming the other fellow. Ad-
nit your own responsibility for
the thing you have done. He,
too, may have been somewhat
responsible, BUT IF YOU'LL
HANDLE YOUR OWN SHARE
OF THE BLAME, YOU'LL
HAVE YOUR HANDS FULL
WITHOUT FUSSING OVER
HIS.
Study why you did that thing
of which you are ashamed.
What secret weakness in your
own nature tricked you into it?
Does that same weakness still
exist? If it does. you will
surely make the same mistake
again, in some other form, un-
less you find and fight the flaw
which caused it.
Dare to Be Proud
Dare to remember everything!
And, as you remember, dare to
be proud!
You took a risk? And got
yourself into a mess? BE
PROUD BECAUSE YOU HAD
THE COURAGE TO TAKE
THAT RISK Make up your
mind to use better sense next
time; but SILL be proud Of the
courage that forced that past
blunder.
You loved the wrong person?
Put a nick in your reputa-
ton? BE PROUD THAT
YOUR HEART WAS GREAT
ENOUGH TO LOVE, EVEN
THOUGH 1T WAS UNWISELY.
Be a better picker next
time; but do not be ashamed
of the abundance in you that
made you long to share your
life.
BE ASHAMED ONLY OF
THE TIMES WHEN YOU
DUCKED LIFE, AND TWO
TIMED YOURSELF BY YOUR
OWN COWARDICE
And even dalV to remember
those times-with h ealing
scorn. A i've life is bound
to make mistakes. Even God
seems TO have made a few
Himself! Yet He goes right
on turning us out, with mag
nificent nonchalance. No hang
overs of regret for Him! Sur
vey your own past with the
nonchalance of a God. See
everything. Admit everything.
AND THEN-GET GOING!

To drive over the smooth,

to deliver its electoral vote

When we have visited cities

An Utterly False
Assurance

In the beginning, We
thought an investigation
into the government of the
city might bring advantage
Gus results. We w ere led
to believe by the partisan
legislative leaders represent
ing the rotten boroughs" "
of the State, that the pri-
mary purpose would be to
investigate the operations of
the government with the
view to possible improve
mentS and reforms.
OF course when this piouS
assurance was given it was
utterly false.
That phase Of the investi-
CATION was lost sight of long
ago; in truth it never was
in sight. From the very be-
ginning the whole thing de-
generated into a man hunt
for partisan purposes. And,
in pursuit of these purposes,
rights Of citizens, never
questioned before, were arbl-
trarily set aside. Precedents
have been created that may
come back to plague many
of those who checrcd these
unusual methods.
And with all this extra
ordinary power, with three
quarters of a million of pub
lie money literally turned
into the campaign Golfers of
a political party for party
ends, nothing has come on,
of the investigation tina,
promises any reforms in
governmental method, and
no evidence was found to
show that out of more than
five billion dollars spent
single penny was wrongfulIy
expended by the Walker ad-
ministration.
We are now nearing the
curtain for the comedy,
which was sheer tragedy to
not a few decent citizens
who were S h a m e lie Y
smeared with insinuations.
The curtain is soon to fall
upon the last act of this
legislative committee. To-
morrow it will be forgotten,
or remembered as something
unworthy of the city or the
State.
Had not Washington Ad-
ministration politics inspired
and directed it's course; had
its purpose been to reveal
weak places in our municipal
governmental system with
the view to strengthening
them; had it been less of a
man hunt and iuster, it
might have proven a blessing
to the community;

Governor Roosevelt
Will Act Speedily

Meanwhile, these partisans
of Mr.. Hoover, operating a
political racket at a cost of
$750,000 to the taxpayers,
could not wait to begin their
assaults on Mr.. Roosevelt.
Thus the Hoover press of
New York city gave the
game away long ago. But
it was reserved for Mr.. Sea
bury to disclose the relation
Of this so-called "investiga-
ton" to this presidential
campaign by going to Gin
cinnati to attack Mr.. Roose-
welt himself.
And not satisfied with
that, he went to the national
convention to exert himself
against the Roosevelt candi-
dacy.
The intense interest shown
by Federal functionarieS en-
ters into the picture.
We assume that no one
will deny that the investiga-
ton has been conducted in
an atmosphere of party poll
tics and extreme prejudice.
Naturally Governor Roose-
welt will ignore political con-
siderations and act on the

Legal difficulties were foreseen
by Wall Street observers today
for the announced plan Of a re-
alignment of Standard Oil groups
which would bring three Of the
most powerful units~into a close
alliance.
Forecast of projects indicating
establishment of a Rockefeller
dominated empire of oil, dissolved
under Supreme Court decision
into 33 separate units in 1911,
was given at annual meetings Of
the Standard Oil Companies Of
Indiana and California
If legal obstacles do not pre-
vent it, the Standard of New
Jersey is to be merged with that
of California, and with the
Standard of Indiana, which is to
acquire a huge stock interest in
the New Jersey organization.
These would form the big
three of the group.
The Indiana company would
acquire 100000 shares Of stock
by a sale to the Jersey concern
of the Indiana Company, owned
Pan-American Petroleum and
Transport Company.
Reports stating the combina-
tion already was effected were
denied oy Kenneth R. Kings
bury, president of the Standard
OF California, who said negotia-
tions were, still under way.
Unless the Department of
Justice intervened, however, on
legal grounds, announcement of
consummation of the deal was
