FretfuI Wife
Asks Sue For
Some Advice
BY SUE LEAF

Dear Sue Leaf:
My husband and I have been
married little more than five years
and we have a fine baby girl.
He has started running after Wo-
men and very seldom stays at home.
When he does spend the night at
home, he does not sleep with me. I
have done all wife can do to make
him happy and to help him.
Do you think he will ever be the
same as he was?
Perhaps, now that you have
child to cOnfine you at home, your
husband is taking advantage of
you and doing the things he has
wanted to do all of the time. There
is another angle to this proposition
of having a baby in the home after
SO many years. You, no doubt, have
transferred your affections to the
baby, where you, all of this time,
have babied him. would be will
ing to bet that he is jealous, as
men are, because he does not get
all of your love and attention now.
You will just have to keep on like
you started with him and let him
think he is the whole cheese all
of the time and everyone and every
else is secondary.
hope you get along all right
with him. 1t is somewhat disheart-
ening to know that a man treats
you all right until you go right
through the shadows of death for
him and then he starts playing with
your love and devotion. He really de-
serves a killing but you will have to

me. He and my father had a quarrel

get along Pile is a very fine fellow
and everyone seems to like him,
especially the girls but he does not

me. Do you think we will get along

You write like little girl and if
you are, you should not be so deep
ly involved with the fellow that YOU
have a regular. You should be
having clean fun with all of the

of this kind. A fellow does not care
much for you if he will let some-
one tell him something about you
and believe it. He is better forgiven
and forgotten.

GETTING AT THE BUND
(ChriStian Science MonitOr)


Conviction of nine leaders of the Ger
man-American Bund under a New Jersey
law against melting race hatred" seems
to indicate one way IN which this organ
ization and other subversive exponents
of force can be curbed.
Preservation of the rights of free
speech and free assembly is of the es-
sence of democracy, but these rights are
exceeded and abused when men use speech
to incite bloodshed or when they assemble
under the military regimen of a private
army. There is extensive evidence that
this is the character of the Bund if not
also of some other groups in the United
States.
The drawing of laws on this subject
requires the greatest care to avoid pun
ishing mere opinion rather than danger
Gus acts. Nevertheless. some of the State
legislatures which are meeting now will
do well to examine the possibilities of
protective legislation. One line of proceed
ure is that against propaganda of racial
hatred.
Another possibility is regulation of the
right to use uniforms. In this latter
course it is necessary to distinguish be-
tween legitimate fraternal or veterans
organizations on one hand and those
which, on the other hand, foster alleg-
lance to foreign government or ideology
and exert a virtual military discipline
upon their members. This distinction
may not be impossible to make in law

DANGER SIGNS

Labor unions can see the handwriting
on the wall these days, if they will only
look closely. If they read the warning
in time, they can save themselves and
incidentally build up organizations of
gigantic value to the laborers. If they
do not heed the signs, labor AS whole
will suffer terrible setback, all because
of the selfishness of dictatorial few.
The signs are everywhere, in public
discussions, in omen forums-everywher
that opinions are expressed, Unionism
as it is practiced today is losing face.
But the most portentous omen Of all lies
in the federal government-and it is the
sign which, above all, Labor should heed.
Al year ago, no governmental spokes-
man ever criticized any labor union. Rath-
er, they defended even the unions that
were Stunned by everyone else. But now,
a year later, you seldom hear govern
ment spokesman praising union-and
you hear much criticism. Thurman Arm
old, once the most rabid of pro-unionists,
has gone so far as to describe some union
tactics as dangerous to the people.
The unions have brought criticism up
on themselves They are the only ones
who can stem the tide today They have
fair warning.

THE WISDOM OF THE PEOPLE
IS PROVED AGAIN

Sometimes political afterthoughts are
bitter things, but in the long run 1t has
been proved that the democratic process
of electing public officials by a .puplc
ballot is the wisest course-and IN I'M
perial county the wisdom of the people
again is being demonstrated from day to
day.
1t is demonstrated in the actions of two
persons-State Senator E. George Luck
ev. Democrat, and Assemblyman Harvey
Hastain. Republican. The party designa-
tions are included here for one reason
alone-to emphasize the truly non-par-
tisan way in which these two elected del
egates to the state legislature have CO.
operated with one another and with the
people as a whole in the best interests
of this country.
Both men, although neophytes in the
state legislature, already have attracted
the attention of steady, reliable old
timers at Sacramento. Both have been
accepted into the inner circle of the legis-
lature-made up of Republicans and
Democrats alike-which wieldS the real
power at Sacramento. The fact of their
acceptance into this select group in spite
of the fact that each is serving his first
term, is as cheering as it is startling.
When Luckey was elected there were
some who charged that he would repre-
sent only minor part of one party.
When Hastain was elected, his political
enemies declared that he would work on
ly for the silk stocking" interests which,
in turn, are a minor part of the other
party.
Both predictions were wrong.
Neither man is interested in partisan
politics, at Sacramento or elsewhere.
Both have cast their ballots and directed
their energies along constructive lines,
regardless of partisan feeling. Both rep
resent all the people of Imperial county,
not just part Of them, and vote accord
ingly.
Even when judged against the previous
admirable record of Ben Hulse as state
senator and the equally monumental rec
ord of Clarence Walker as assemblyman,
Luckey and Hastain are doing a fine
job. ed Law, Luckey's immediate sue
cessor, had opportunity to little more
than get started when he resigned.) Be-
fore many months are past, the names
of both men can be expected to loom
large in the doings of the legislature.
The people can be satisfied that they
have chosen wisely.

NO FUNDS
FOR DRUNKS
RiverSide Press

Chairman C. E. Grier of the San Ber-
nardino board of supervisors has come
out very decidedly against continued re-
lief for employables who drink. We GER
tainly approve of his contention that
when a man is furnished work at public
expense to provide necessities for his wife
and family and then spends them by buy
ing liquor he forfeits all right to consider
alton by society.
Just how anyone could expect to re-
ceive state and county aid and then mis-
use it is one of those problems which the
average self-respecting citizen can not
explain. The feeling seems to be growing,
that there are no obligations connected
with public money or made employ
ment. What the county, the state or the
national government gives a reliefer is
closed transaction as far as the donor
is concerned. What the reliefer does with
the money is his affair-Something else
again.
Chairman Grier points out it would
be an eye-opening experience for the
average taxpayer to inquire into the ease
with which his hard-earned money can
be used for various kinds of relief other
than the kinds it is supposed to be used
for
Some men are classified as unemploy-
ables, says Mr. Grier, because of eXces-
sive use of liquor and, therefore cannot
be denied We are required by law to
support hopeless drunks.
Much of the legislation governing re-
lief is difficult to understand. The laws
passed by our legislatures in times past,
especially those which apply to relief ad
ministration, are faulty They are an
invitation to chiseling when their mean
ing is subject to such loose interpreta-
ton.
Take the relief money out of the hands
of politicians and we believe the whole
mess could be cleaned up in short time.
