WOMEN ATTACK LAWS.
The "militants" of other days may again return to the national stage, if one may judge
trom recent statements coming from headquarters of the National Woman's party. Prop
erty and marriage laws which discriminate in
favor of the male of the species will be the target to displace disfranchisemnt oef the fair sex
Investigators of the Woman's party had quite a time finding one state that would make
an ideal "horrible example," but Maryland's qualifications finally won for her the coveted honor. Maryland, it seems, is a barbarian state which freely gives man permission to literally
tread woman under foot. Here are the qualifica
tions that won for Maryland in the competition
for 'horrible example:"
Maryland is one of the three states which gives the father the right to will away from the
mother the guardianship of her minor children
without her consent.
Mothers are not equal guardians of their children; the right of the father is superior to that of the mother; he owns the children's
services and their earnings; he has a legal right
to control their upbringing; decide their religion their educaton; their work.
A married woman may not choose her legal
residence. Should the husband maintain a voting residence in another state while actually living in Maryland, his wife would have to go to
that other state in order to vote.
Divorce laws are more liberal for the hus
band than for the wife.
Inheritance laws discriminate against
women.
Women may not serve on juries in Mary'
land.
have not noticed the failure of events to justify
the predictions of the sensational writers, it
was well that Congressman Mondell, Republican
leader of the House, took occasion recently to deny the misleading reports so often circulated.
In his statement Mr. Mondell said, among other things :
"Anyone who will take the trouble to read the recommendations of President Harding to this Congress from time to time and to examine the record of Congress, will find that practically all of these recommendations have either been written into law or are in process of enactment, and this applies particularly to the record of the House." This does not mean that either branch of Congress has accepted blindly or submissively a recommendation with which it did not agree. Every measure that has ccome before either House of Congress, including the treaties negotiated at the Armaments Conference, has been given the most careful consideration and scrutiny and measures have been adopted only when
they were amended to meet the best judgment of the majority. President Harding has not assumed a right to dictate to Congress. There has been nothing in his message to Congress or his public utterances justifying even an intimation that he proposed to exercise the functions' of a dictator. The Consttution makes it the duty of the President to advise Congress from time to time of the state of the Union and to make recommendations regarding needed legislation. The same Constitution makes it the duty of Congress, subject to the presidential veto, to take such action upon those recommendations as it deems best. President Harding has not only fulfilled the letter of our fundamental law creating separate branches of government, but he has fulfilled the spirit of the Constitution by promoting cooperation rather than engendering antagonisms. He has called Members of Congress into conference on frequent occasions in order to get their views before definitely shaping his own for submission in written form. The spirit of co-opera
tion between the legislative and executive branches of the Government was never better manifested than it is today. Unfortunately for newspaper writers peace and harmony do not make news. It takes conflict to win a place on the front page and in the headlines. The desire to get on the front page and the prominence of a top head accounts for the numerous reports in a small class of papers to represent antagonisms between the President and Congress which do not exist in fact.

"TEXAS DAY" IN CONGRESS. "Texas Day," which was celebrated again last week by the Texas delegation in Congress,
Women may not hold certain municipal is getting to be an event much looked forward
offices. Maryland's sins have been found out, and that fair state may now expect stirring times until the constitution, laws, or whatever it is that is trampling woman in the dust, has been amended. The women are on Maryland's trail, and when the women go after something they don't know enough to stop until they get it.
IMAGINARY CONFLICTS. Judging by the headlines so often appearing in the sensational press one might readily reach the conclusion that there is constant conflict between the President and Congress. Every slight difference of opinon, or prospect of difference of opinion is magnified into a bitter controversy, probably not through any premeditated intention to misrepresent but through the desire of a newspaper writer to produce an article that will appeal to the reader and make an apparent "beat" to rus credit in competition with his nearest rival. As each one of the supposed bitter contests passes away with no manifestation of hard feelings onN either side, the reading public learns to discount every report of that character. For the benefit of those who
to by the House as its chief form of recreattion. "Texas Day," of course, means that the Texas delegation in the House was again engaged in denouncing Thomas L. Blanton, a Texas member whose biography in the congressional rirectory, furnished by himself, is a glowing account of statesmanship.
After one Texan had told the House that the limitation of parliamentary restrictions was all that prevented him from saying "Blanton is a disgrace to the House and ought to be kicked out," and Blanton warned him not to dare call him a liar, another Texan reminded the odious one that "Blanton, you know you're a liar." Which started the fireworks. Blanton's censure several months ago by unanimous vote of the House for having obscene matter inserted in tha Congressional Record peeved him very much at the other members of the Texas delegation who, he felt, should have stood by him. When Blanton got back home recently he accused the other Texan3, in a speech, of having obtained whiskey flasks and other "petty graft" on their stationary allowances. What the country would like to know whether the flasks were full or empty.

Telephone He
City to Grow Number 3 in a series of statements by the Illinois Bell Telephone Company Telephone service helps a community to grow to spread out and occupy the surrounding undeveloped territory. Almost literally, telephone wires. bring outlying properties right downtown. Telephone service is the city's "partner." It is a tremendous factor in the development of outlying territory, for even' though the new territory be somewhat removed, communication with any home or place of business in Hammond is instant!
No matter where you choose to live, you EXPECT to be able to obtain telephone service. And you are rarely disappointed. Had you ever realized that? This is true because the IllinoisBellTclephoneCompany's officials are working hard at their job of partnership with the people of Hammond. We aim to meet not only the present needs of the well-populated areas, but are constantly looking years ahead making a business of knowing what areas will develop next and
moving in with equipment AHEAD of the people, so that we may be ready to give service when THEY come. Here is an unusual responsibility and one which we are endeavoring to meet in an adequate way. Telephone service promotes both community growth and solidarity. It transmits hundreds of thousands of messages daily messages involving every detail of human activity and endeavor, many times burdened with the gravest matters of life and countless cases wholly dependent upon the prompt communication afforded only by the telephone.
The telephone " Brings people together" without their going! It is more than a convenience. It is a necessity. It is a part of the life of any community. Without it any community would not only cease growing, but would travel backward 20 years! Habits of living would change. The business and social structure would change. The Telephone Company has today in Hammond property valued at nearly a million and a half dollars to so equip itself as to meet its duty to the people of this community. Have you ever figured what telephone service is actually worth to you or have you ever wondered how such a service could possibly be furnished at the price you are paying?
