WHEN RIGHT, WHEN WRONG.
Extract from the beginning of
a' speech by Congressman (iard
ner, of Massachusetts, in (he
House of Representatives, page
301 of the Congressional Record:
“Mr. Chairman, from the coun
try’s viewpoint there were two
sound reasons for dismissing I he
Republican party from power. In
the first place, we stubbornly re
sist reasonable reforms.
The second reason for our dis
missal was the fact that the coun
try, I am sorry to say, desires a
revision of the tariff much farth
er-reaching than the Payne law.”
Extract from the close of the
same speech, page 303 of the Con
gressional Record:
“The nation in its passion con
dtmned us for a dishonesty of
which we were not guilty. Hav
ing convicted and punished us,
the nation will now proceed to ex
amine the evidence.”
IN BEHALF OF BACHELORS.
Promoters of the feminist,
movement, who are behind much
of the,legislation proposed in
various states for levying a lax
on bachelors, apparently overlook
some very interesting facts.
It has been computed that our
planet is peopled by about 1,
700,00(1,00(1 living members of the
human species, and that, this very
respectable total includes some
5,500,000 more men than women.
"Supposing all women to be mar
ried or assured of marrying, this j
disproportion signifies 5.500,000 I
who are bachelors willingly, willi- j
out considering tin1 few who may;
have had bachelorhood Ihrusl up- i
on them by unresponsive ladies of 1
their choice"
Til is mill lie I lie secret of I he !
rather widespread masculine |
movement which encourages in |
woman the unresponsive altitude. !
Of course. I here are oilier rea- !
sons and lo spare, and not all are i
nnchivalrie. Few men hoasi ot !
their chivalry in desiring to sup- 1
porl a family. Imt many men sac
rifice all second-best pleasures to
that end. And the feminist move
ment tends lo limit the supply of
positions suited lo the ordinary
man, and lowers salaries into the
■bargain by the increased compe
tition, even where the employer
loyally supports the equal pay
ideal.
But leaving all this to the so
ciologists, who are numerous and
efficient, may not there be deep In
the heart of man a well concealed
dread of the moment when the
term “old bachelor” shall be used
as rudely as the old abstrusive
epithet “old maid?” In America,
where the numbers of men and
womein are almost equally divid
ed, there are still thirty-six out
of every thousand of the former
ineluctably dedicated to bachelor
hood. Their fate is not to be
made the subject of jeering. One
moves naturally toward marriage,
Plotinus tells us, as toward noble
deeds. _■
What we need fhost are laws
that will leave no child laborers
to protect.
Can you tell, without stopping
to think, how many attempts have
been made to assassinate King
Alfonso?
No, no, Estelle, your gentleman
friend merely .meant a compli
ment; we assure you “chic" is not
slang for chicken.
The tariff situation is said to
be a matter of worry to other na
tions. Haven’t they ajiy troubles
of their own?
Think of the unfortunate ball
players with salaries only a lit
tle in excess of $4,000 a year who
will be hit by the income tax.
• I
There is no doubt some mov
ing pictures develop criminal
propensities; they incite a lust
for the blood of the man that
wrote the scenario.
Huerta’s government is re
ported to be toppling, which re
vives the suspicion that Mexico’s
revolutions are a genuine, form of
perpetual motion.
Vice President Marshall’s will
ingness to engage in all-round
handshaking shows how hard it
is to break away from early po
litical leaning.
A Democratic administration
that can secure fair weather for
ball games ought (o have no dif
ficulty in remaining in power in
definitely, world without end.
There is something parlioulnr
ly remarkable in the slimy that a
honeyniooner vanished when his
bride went shopping. Bargain
sales are love’s young nightmare.
A happy architect lias just, mar
ried a lady “who had hidden from
him the fact that she is heiress
to millions.” Most benedicts
would be willing victims of the
same deceit.
As the president’s chief advis
er and close personal friend, Mr.
Bryan knows he ought to be a bi
cycle rider, but as secretary of
state he—er—isn’t. So sure about
if. _
"The pulchritude of Ihe Tint
ed States Senate must be preserv
ed forever,” declares the Balti
more Sun. Whereupon the con
firmed optimist of the Houston
Post observes: “Huh. .Tim Ham
can't live forever.”
The British House of Commons
unanimously favors abolition of
the dramatic censorship, but will
not lake the trouble to abolish it.
Thus is presented a line compan
ion piece to the man who was in
favor of the law but against its
enforcement.
Sea raplains report that a spe
cies of sea serpent lias been seen
off the Colombian coast recently
that has not belen seen before
since the days of the Spanish
buccaneers. Wonder wlial genius
it was that discovered lilt* secret
of reproducing lhe pirates’ rum.
