ANOTHER AUTOCRAT GOES. The Guatemala revolution runs true to CentralAmerican form ono mlsrht almost say, true to I-atin-Amerlcan form. Time was whfn It was the ujal thing for our Latin neighbors to change their novornments by that process, jut as It has always t een natural for us to change ours by orderly election. Most of the South American nations have evolved beyond that rtage. Mexico and Central America have r.ot. Pres't E.etrada Cabrera, as has happened again and again In the history of tho?e turbulent republics, invited tho revolution. Though a president in title, pretending to rule according to a constitution. Tin was really a dictator. lie kept hlm.celf in power :or 22 ycar, preventing honest elections and puttiner down by forc or fraud every attempt to change the administration. IIo was virtually a royal autocrat It had to come to an end at last. Finco he could not bo ousted by orderly process, he was ousted by fore. It was th 5amo thinp that happened to Diaz In Mexico. And the fame thing may come new in Guatemala that followed in Mexico counter-revolution and anarchy. For tho mournful thine; about autocracy Is that, though it reems to succeed well for a while, under strong men Ilk Diaz and Cabrera, it succeeds at tho expense of the nation's political vitality. Under a strong autocrat citizenship grow weak, free Institutions languish, self-government atrophies. Then, when tho strong hand Is struck down, and the people are mnde, free, they do not know how to ue their freedom. Ffer better a democracy that is turbulent and wrong-headed, yet blundering forward somehow in rpite of its failures, than a ruler who presumes to do everything for hia people. It is the rame with famllie. Yet rulers and parents are always having to learn th lesion afresh.

TO MAKE HER HAPPY. A lieutenant In the United States navy has just obtained & dlvorca to please his wife. An accommodating man Is he, all will have to admit but the caso Is apt to cause a lot of discussion, especially as it peem; to be one- offering support to both slics of the never-ending divorce controversy. It illustrates the ea.e with v. hich matrimonial bonds may bo Fevered, which many people regard as a great evil and national disgrace. On the other hand, it presents a clear eas of mismatlng that Is frequently mentioned as the sufficient reason for granting freedom to all who apply fcr divorces. There axo some historical cases of husbands "giving their wives" to friends because they loved th wives ao much that they could not endure seeing them unhappy away from their afTlnltitJ?. llutvin common estimation the man who does that is not cf much account, though romanticists would resard htra highly. However, in the cave under consideration th new "Harne" of friend wife was a stranger to tho husband, which might have been expected to arouse In him sentiments that could bo appropriately expressed only with fists or deadly weapons. But the vifo frankly pleaded for release cn tho grounds of her husband's pledge of undying affection for her. Sho asked him to keep his prom ise to "do anything to make me happy." and get a divorce. That's what he has done. The cajo recalls the argument of a clerical proponent of easy divorce. When a married couple cess to love one another, ho declared, their affections are transferred to someone rise. Lrove is undying, he asserted, holding that it Is In the interest of legal morality to open the road to the union of aff.nittes. It will bo interesting to read what Is said about this case.

AMERICA'S GIFT TO FRANCE. Thirty-ftve years have slipped away since Bartholdr titanic Statue of Liberty Enlightening tho World gift of the people of Prance to the peoplo of AmericV wa.i erected on I'edloo's island in New York harbcr. In commemoration of a century of American independence. The. real significance of the c-vent wiis tho put lie testimony thus given of popular appreciation in France of the spirit anj achievements of the people cf the United States. In obtaining their liberty Americans prn.ve Impulse to the movfir.er.t through which French liberty wa? accompliahod few je.ir later. The (government of Hence might have r regaled the statue in the nair.e of the pople to the American Kovernment for tho yecplc cf this country. But th.it 'vould havo robbed the Klft of Its Important significance. The cost of the monument to international affection was contributed in small sums by hundreds of thousands. Foua cf the poor an J humble were mingled with the francs of the rich and i-uwerful in one great fund expre-ive of Frer.ch national s-ntirnent. Th'J Statue of Liberty Knllchtcnlng the World Is the visible emblem cf France's love fur America. Now Americans are to prc? nt to the French i testimonial of th ir affection, ropecf and ap;reriition that shall It as -nduri;:g, sn f.ir :.. human handj can make it, as the devotion of both peoples

to the noble spiritual Concept of the motto of France: Liberty, equality, fraternity. Now the people of the United States have the opportunity It should be availed of as a high I rivilego to contribute t a fund of J250.000 for the erection of a monument near ?deaux, on the banks of the Marr.e where Marshal Joffre turned back the Huns on their first sweep t oward Paris. This will be a montrment of tho American people's good will to tna people of France. It is desired that an many as possible contribute that It may be a truly popular expression. School children and bankers, artisans and manufacturers, laborers and professional men, everyone may give. A um will be as welcome If of only a cent n.s one of a dollar. Many small contributions are preferable to a few large ones. It Is th spirit of the gift that will count now and In the acres to come. Let e.ich one do his or her share.

LABOR SAVING IN THE HOME. The disinclination of young women to enter domestic service is resulting In surprising suggestions for relieving the overworked American housewife. The latest proposal is that the widows of Europe's war-slain be offered Inducements to make their homes in a new land where greater breadth of opportunity and award await. Arrival of a shipload of younc women at New York the other day was hailed with Joy; It v;as predicted that most of them woul'l find th'lr way Into homes in need of aid. Seldom a day passes without publication of some lament or plan to overcome an unusually distressing situation. Wonder arises if we"iave not overlooked, or at least paid too scant attention to, one potential source of relief at which we are adept. Tho multiplication of labor-saving devices for the housewife may prove in the long run to bo more important as a means of solving our so-called servant problem than all the immigrants likely to be admitted for many a day. Most men would scorn to work with implements as cumbersome and elemental aa those with which their mothers tolled long hours. Few men in their oflices or shops would put up with inconveniences comparable to those which handicap their wives every day. Only within the past decade has inventive genius been turned energetically toward the production of labor-saving devices for the home. The development is still in its Infancy. It is reasonable to expect that within a few years facilities for making housework easy will bo so universally available that the servant problem will no longer be a pressing one. With modern appliances, it is becoming more nearly possible for the average housewife to care for her home without fatigue.

EXPECTATIONS NOT FULFILLED. The vote cast in the presidential primaries Indicates that at least one-half the voters in some cases a vastly greater proportion are entirely Indifferent os to a choice for the highest office in the land. The primary is designed to place directly in the hands of voters of a party the nomination of candidates or, in a presidential year, to give each elector the privilege of signifying his choice for the I residency. That so great a proportion neglects to exercise tho privilege, which in a republic is nothing less than a duty of citizenship. Indicates a woeful lack of interest in governmental affairs. While it is possible that tho vote ea?t, though but a fraction of the total, is an Index of what it would be were every voter to deposit his ballot, of that we cannot bo assured. We can know exactly the voice of the people only when all the people speak. Considering the problems that have' grown out of the war and the importance of economic and capable government to every citizen, we might with r ason have expected that primaries would show the full voting strength of parties, especially where there ''is a contest. That the result has been otherwise is not reassuring. Direct government, as exprtssed through the primary, has failed to come up to expectations because of the disinterestedness of the voters.

The plan to shoot a rocket to the moon revives hope that someone may yet invent a long range gun capable of shooting down the high cost o' living.

American humility at Europe's frequent criticism that we have no age-old traditions is somewhat mollified by the flection that neither have we a past.

More Truth Than Poetry By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

BLUE JEANS. When furniture got pretty high, In eighteen sixty-four And no one but the rich could buy Their outfits at the store. The common folks in every town And city in the land, Conspirt! to bring the prices down And bought theirs second hand. But when they'd made a market for Old beds, with legs askew. The second hand man charged them more Than if the stuff was new. And now, if any buyer seeks For tables that are old. Ho finds that the' are called antiques And worth their weight in gold. And therefore when we hear today That people view askance, The prices they are asked to pay For coats and vests and pants, And say that they will wear blue

Jeans Those garments of the farm ' And thus conservo their modest means. We shudder in alarm. For well we know, and much we fear. If ladies pay their calls. And men upon the street appear Arrayed in overalls,

The price of working clothes wills

soar And in the next few weeks, We'll have to pay a fortune for A suit of blue antiques. (Copyright, 1920.)
