UNFAIR TO GROOM

Why ShouM Man Be Denied “Anoestral Harness?” ’ Bride Allowed to Take Frida In - •- mother Wm . Married, but for NIK Nothing 'Mng. 4. . . - —— , Why does a man never get married to Whees? asks a writer In the New lark Krening Sun. One reads in the report of a recent wedding In New Baren, Conn., that “the bride (Miss Dorothy W. Day) wore a gown which was worn by her grandmother when the latter was mart-fed fifty years kgo.” la other cases it is not the entire gown, but the “bridal dress was trimmed with rare old lace that was part of the wedding finery of the bride’s great grandmother when that estimable lady was married, about seventy-five years before.” But who ever read, “Mr. Bridegroom was quite handsome in a suit of black which was worn by his grandfather, the Hon. John Bridegroom, when the latter married Miss Mehttable Spanker In IMO?" Nor does one ever learn from a modern wedding report: “The bridegroom's feet were clad In shoes that his great-great grandfather, Capt Peddedlah Timkin, wore at Bunker Hill and Valley Forge. The shoes, with only slight restoration necessary, are tn marvelous condition and lent a distinctly revolutionary flavor to the bridal occasion.”

Tn fact, the bridegroom's clothing never gets mention, beyond “the conventional black.” If it did it would be only to relate some disaster too important, unusual or ridiculous to be omitted, even in a wedding narrative. Two chief reasons are advanced for the hick of ancestral male garments at the bridal altar. One reason Is the difficulty of making a man look even pssdkble In his grandfather’s rig. whereas a girt becomes more beautiful la the quaint garments of a bygone day. Moreover, a man appearing for his wedding in a John Hancock coat and knickers would claim more attention than the bride, and that would be fatal at any wedding. But the -real reason why a man does not marry in his grandfather's BCehery Is because it Is not. Grandmother put her wedding dress carefolly away and preserved it for her children- Granddad put his away for the nonce, but he was in no circumstances to preserve a perfectly good sulf for another generation. Re needed It In his own .business. 80 eventually bls bridal attire went the way ot an men’s clothing. But It would be refreshing, some critics of the times say. to read once in a while tn wedding reports: “The bridegroom's svelte shape was admirably set off by the bridal pants worn seventy-five years ago by Ms paternal grandfather, the celebrated Squire Binglewhlffle, on the occasion of his marriage to the beautiful Prudence Winterbottom.”

Madrid Jammed With People.

Spain's abstention from the war has net prevented a housing crisis in that country. In the large cities the demand for apartments Is so great that new buildings are leased from roof to basement before construction Is fairly under way. Tn Madrid the population has Increased 30 per cent since the outbreak of r flS war. The recent arrivals are net only newly enriched Spaniards, but also refugees and visitors from belligerent countries, who during the yr sought the Spanish capital as a peace oasis. The population of the dty Is now approximately one minion, or an average of seventy-two for every trending. Its density of population is believed to be greater than that of any other large town in Europe, or til per hectare (more than 100 per acre) as compared with 200 per hoefere In Paris and 128 in London. Tn the central part of the city the population reaches 773 per hectare. It dioUld be recalled in this connection ♦bat the buildings do not as a rule contain so many floors as in our country. —Living Age.

Now Lace-Making Machine.

OMsul Hitch at Nottingham. Norland, reports an Invention by a resl'that dty which, it is claimed, will revolutionise the present methods of making imitation real laces. The inventor states that by meant as his invention, which is an attachment to an ordinary Levers lace madrine, he can produce the lace the entire width of the machine, either tn afh« from one inch upward or the full width of the machine for Jwimmv nets. Thus, a machine 100 mehra wide could be made to produes 100 breadths of tree inch, er fifty of two Inch, and so on. Two sets of jaegvards are used, one oper- ' threads and other the bobbin threads.

HEADS BUREAU OF REPUBLICAN WOMEN

Director Women’s Bureau, Republican State Committee.

Miss Dorothy Cunningham of Martinsville, the new director of the women’s bureau of the Republican State Committee, has taken charge of her work- at state headquarters with the vim that is characteristic of her. She Is planning an energetic and aggressive campaign among' the women of Indiana. Miks Cunningham is a genuine business woman. She has been associated with her brothers In the road and bridge construction business for several years. She has acted as overseer and boss, staying out on the job with the men when she is superintending the work. Party Commended to Women. Miss Cunninghom loves children and has done much for boys’ and girla’ charities. She likes people and Is a favorite with her employes and the people with whom she is associated. ’ Talking politics, Miss Cunningham said: "The outlook for Republican victory in Indiana grows more bright every day. The record of the Republican party in making equal suffrage possible, and In passing progressive legislation for the protection of woman and child labor and the strong, capable candidates on the party tickets in Indiana and the nation this year surely commend the party to the--women voters. I predict that their response will be a splendid victory for the G. O. P.”

SERVICE MEN SHOULD BE REPUBLICANS, BEARSS SAYS

Indianapolis. — (Special) — Col Hiram I. Bearss of Peru, who won distinction for bravery and extraordinary service in the world war has enlisted In the campaign to elect Senator Harding and Is working under the direction of the Republican State Committee. The colonel has studied the campaign issues closely and da clarea that every service and ex-serv-ice man should vote the Republican ticket, because the Republican policies and platform stand for the things that are ot vital interest to the men who served in the war. "No American boy looks with favor on the prospect of spending another year or so in the trenches,” says Col. Bearss. "No American mother can be for Article 10 of the league coven-' ant, which would send thousands of our boys to every corner of the world to maintain the boundary lines of other nations. Young Men Follow Harding. “We do not want to shoulder the war debt of half the world; we do not want a one-man government. Under Republican rule we will have more eficient administration of the war risk insurance bureau and less red tape in its management; we will have no sectional legislation ; no Baksrism or Creelism. "From my observation I am firmly convinced that the young men of this nation are eager to follow in the path of such sterling Americans as Roosevelt and Harding. It looks like Harding will bo a winner this tall by a smashing majority.” CoL Bearss has been honored with eight decorations for bravery and meritorious conduct as a soldier. He b the holder of the Italian war cross, the French Croix de Guerre, and the I Distinguished Service Medal.

DON'T HANDCUFF HARDING WITH DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS

nxm’t handcuff Harding with a Democratic congress," pleads George B. Lockwood, editor ot the National wwhHran, in an editorial in the latest issue at Ms publication. “To do this would be, from a Republican Endpoint, an act et unspeakable stupidity,” says the writer. “Let us not <mly elsct Hardtag and Coolidge, but put at their baoks a congress thoroughly in sympathy with them tn the groat work Mat will Ifo before Am*

that the interested parties to any controversy would not have a vote in deciding that controversy. This means then, that in a disput in which the United States is ed, our country would not have a, Vote, ahd the remaining nations—European, nations, which do not have the American point of view—would pass upon the question about which we were xrtally concerned. Now let us suppose that a con-' troversy should anse in the future between Japan and the United States, and such a supposition to not an improbable one. And supposing furthermore that such a controversy should be carried from the council up to the league for a final decision. In that league the United States ’would have no voice —Japan "would have no voice. But England would have her six votes,; perhaps to cast on the side of Japan to whom she is bound by secret treaties. ' Would Americanise League. “ The Republicans in the Senate said that the league should not pass upon our domestic problems, and declared that bur domestic probfems are solely within the jurisdiction of the United States. The Republicans in the Senate declared further, that the Monroe Doctrine must be interpreted by Americans, and that it was beyond the jurisdiction of the League of Nations. The Republicans in the Senate did not condone the action of the league in the infamous action of stealing Shantung from China, and giving it to Japan. The Republicans in the Senate forbade the league to involve the United States in debt, unless Congress in a constitutional and legal way, passed on the expenditure and provided the necessary money. The Republicans in the Senate further declared that the league would have to be changed so that the United States would cast as ■many votes as any other nation. Could any American accept less? These are some of the more important positions taken by the Republicans. Are they not reasonable? Are they not necessary? Who among us calling ourselves Americans could object to a single one of them? Mr. Wilson says that the League of Nations must be adopted without a single change. Mr. Cox openly accept Mr. Wilson’s position. A vote for Mr. Cox means that all these reasonable and American proposals set out above are to be rejected and abandoned. Favor* Real Peace Prograta. In opposition to the Wilson-Cox uh-American and unpatriotic league, we have the assurance of Senator Harding that his first task will be to work out a league, or world eburt, founded upon reason and law, with a fqll-protection to America’s nationality. Our women are genuine Americans, favoring world peace and at the same time devoted to America and her welfare. They will hot be stampeded into a league which sends our boys to Europe without giving our Congress, and through Congress our people a right to be heard. Peace, to be endur-

ong, must be baaed upon right and justice, not upon European polities nor! Upon the intrigue of European rules. The Harding plan being based upon right and reason will live and is constructive. The Wil-son-Cox plan being based upon force and being controlled by Europeans is un-American and can not be accepted. Lincoln’. WMasn. Abraham Lincoln said: “The provision of our constitution giving the war-tnaking power to Congress was dictated, .as I understand it, by the following reasons: Kings had always been involving and impoverishing people in wars, pretending generally, if not always, that the good of the people was the object. This our constitutional convention understood to be' the mosit oppressive of all kingly oppressions, and they resolved to so frame the constitution that no ope man would hold the power of bringing this oppression upon us.” Republican senators adopted a reservation to preserve this power to declare war to Congress. Shall we follow Liffcoln or Wilson and Cox? Harding’. Position. The Republican party stands for agreement among the nations of the world, and Mr. Harding has definitely stated that he will bring about such an agreement—“for effective -peace, as quickly as a Republican Congress can pass its declaratibn Tor a Republican executive to sign.” Can we ask anything better than this? We believe that such an international association must be based upon international justice, and miist provide methods which Shall maintain the rule of public Tight by the development of law fend the decision of impartial Courts, .and Which shall secure instant and general international dorifertence whenever peace shall be threatened by political action, so that the nations may exercise their influence and pbwer for the prevention of war, and insist upon what is juSt and fair. We firmly believe all this can be done without the compromise of national independence, without depriving the people of the United States in advance of the right to determine for themselves, what is jdst fend fair when the occasion arises, and without involving them as participants and not as peacemakers in a multitude of quarrels, the merits of which they are unable to judge. Want Stamp oS U. S. A. President Wilson clearly stated the requirement of America under Art. 10. Routnania and Servia became worried during the peace conference, and they, as well as all other European nations, were assured of the protection of American, soldiers under the League of Nations. To them the President said; ‘.‘lf the wolrd should be troubled again, if the conditions which we all regard as fundamental are challenged, the guarantee which Will be given to 'you (in the League of Nations covenant) will pledge that the United States will send its army and 'fleet across the ocean.” Nothing could be dearer than this.
