* • Let the Truth Prevail I
Spanking Effective
The bill passed by the senate for the building of an
armor plant by the government is bringing the
armor trust to its senses mighty quick.
The first glimmer of returning reason is evidenced
in the proposition of Messrs. Schwab and Grace, of
the Bethlehem Steel corporation, made co-incidental
with the publication of the Bethlehem concern's re
port for 1915, showing an increase of 260 per cent
net earnings over 1914.
Messes. Schwab and (Irace say:
"We will agree to permit any well-known firm of
chartered public accountants to inventory our plant
and make careful estimates of the eOflt of manufac
ture, with that data in hand we will meet with the
secretary of the navy and agree to manufacture
armor plate at a price which will be entirely satisfac
tory to the secretary of the navy as being quite as low
as the price at which the government could possibly
manufacture armor on its own account, after talcing
into account all proper charges."
In other words, the armor trust, having been
caught with the stolen goods on it by its own report,
now promises to be good.
Such assurances are not to be relied upon. By
passing the bill in the house and actually building its
plant Uncle Sam will have something more substan
tial than mere promises.
There's room, under the proposed preparedness
program, for the Bethlehem company and a govern*
talent owned plant, too, if only legitimtae profits are
desired.
If the Bethlehem people are sincere in their as
serted belief that the building of a government plant
\fill "virtually destroy the value of existing armor
plants," let them sell out to the government Let
them retire on the profits already made. Those are
aplenty, according to their own statements.
Turkey 9s Troubles
Turn away from Mexico for a moment and fiance
at the European situation, not on the west front,
where the titanic combat at Verdun seems to be at
last waning, l>tit down in the near East.
That Turkey is making peace overtures, or at least
preparing to d<> so, au uo longer be doubted.
Salonika dispatches point out that only fear of the
Teutons stands in the way.
The leader of the war element, the young Turk
parly, having been removed by the .simple expedient
of assassinating him, there is a growing feeling of
bittrnx'ss at the Germans in Constantinople,
Jt would be the very irony of fate if the Turks
should turn upon their allies and whip Bulgaria to
her knees. ]t would, as well, be characteristically
Turkish, and might afford the sultan a way to partly
indemnify himself for his losses.
Grand Duke Nicholas is said to be driving on Con
stantinople itself and the Turks are panic stricken.
Old Nick has smashed the plans of tin 1 Germans, the
Austrians and the sultan successively. Be is the
greatest genius of the war, on the side of the allies at
any rate.
The Russian advance through the Caucasians and
the magnificent sweep through Asiatic Turkey, not
only promise to eliminate Turkey, or force that coun
try to war with Bulgaria, hut leaves Russia in a
dominant position whether peace comes next month
or next year.
He's Their Sort
Our Washington correspondent declares that
"precisely why John W. Weeks should be a can
didate is one of the mysteries of politics."
Maybe there's mystery about it but there is also
logic. During his long service in congress, Weeks
has done nothing to call particular attention to him
self as an important figure in public life. He is not
a big man, in any sense. But he has always voted
and acted for the special interests. By birth, educa
tion, and nature he is a (Muss A reactionary. Special
Interests never had to worry as to how Weeks will
line up. He is not big enough to break away from
■tandpatism in any direction.
If the standpat element is to dominate the repub
lican pai-ty in 1016, Weeks' eligibility is of the high
est order. Stand pa tism couldn't find another man
for president who would do just what it wanted
done with so little urging or overseeing.
FRECKLES AND HIS FRIENDS
Visualize It
What's the use of offering a reward of $50,000 or
$100,000 for Villa when MAX peons couldn't be made
to believe that there is that much money in the world.'
It sounds too fishy to tempt them.
Hang up a Winchester carbine, a belt of cartridges,
a silver BXNIBted saddle and a $40 eayuse; throw in
a pair of new boots and a package of , cigarets and
parade it at the head of Funstou's column, labelled
"'Hewaid for Paneho Villa's head" and chances are
the prise will be won.
Yon have to show those Mexicans. They are all
bloated with promises now.

Q. —No lady can without being embarrassed walk into a
hall lull of young men and make an improvised Bpeech. If she
can without being embarrassed S!JE IS NOT A LADY.
The above, Miss Grey, is an argument Will you give us
your opinion? D. C. M.
A.—We iiiuxt admit that under prettent existing circumstances
It would he difficult, hut It is my boiler that it would not hi- im
potsihlc lor a young lady of good character to walk into a hall full
of (uniiifiii.tiil) i young men and make an imiirovised speech without
losing her Kelf-re»pectSind do so jii»i as easily and gracefully as a
in.hi could walk into a hull full of yoiiiiglatljes and make a similar
n|mi-< h. Of course the young lady must be posneKMed of sell- con
fidence, have high Ideals and view the world in the same broad
iniiiiitvl sense that man has viewed for :ivi«--. Woman doe* not be
loug beneath man nor above him, but bealde him, and the only
things that has kept her from her rightl'til place for centuries is the
double standard—h relic of the dark age*.
Q —Will you be so kind as to tell me through your paper
If my parents can have my marriage annulled when I have a
rhild? I am under age —will not be 18 until April—and they
say they will have It annulled before that time. If they do
this will I have to take my maiden name? If I went to Alaska
where my husband la when 1 am of age could we be married
without showing the papers of the annullinent. as I do not
think they will Rive them to me? A LOVING WIPE.
A.—According to a recent court mliny a marriage which ha*
i».-•-■ j i imsiiiuiiialtMl is Icjiil. even though the partie-n are under atfe.
I 'niter the circumstances I do not believe your parents cun have your
iitan-laKe annulled.
Q. —My little girl has a hahit of biting her lower Hd con
tinually. She is deforming her face and causing her teeth to he
irregular. She is two and a half years of age, and has heen
doing this about a year. We have tried adhesive tapes, but
they will not stick. We have also put quinine, etc, upon her
lipß to no effect. Can you suggest a remedy? L. A. N.
A.—Take one of her favorite plaything** away, or 'l'i>ri\e tier
of some t»l«-»« —ii■«- when -; ■«■ lilts her lip and explain to her Just why
you did it. Keward her when she makes an effort to Kton it. I
hnve known of children being cured of very serious habits by this
metlinil anil uo other.
Q.—Will you please tell me If there Is anything to.help the
RfOWth of the eyebrows? Would you advise mo to answer ad
vertisements? D.
A.—'lliere is nothing lietter to promote the um>mili of the oye
lirows ill hi pan wll.iw vaseline, mid it is not injurious. If you an

her own children.
"Don't let me persuade you if
you think you would he happier
alone, hut I think you would gain
your health sooner in that beau
tif ill place than in our little place
called 'Paradise.' "
That is the firm lime in years,
little liook, Dick has referred to
the carved word a 1 had put over
the mantel of our little apart
ment. I hurst into tears.
"Here, here Margie," Dick ex
rlaimed, "I did not mean to make
you cry."
"Dtek I can't help it when I
think of leaving that little apart
ment where we have lived ever
since we were married."
"But Margie, we will live at
the other place. Think it over
Miifl we will talk about it again.
If yon will he happier In the
apartment, that is the lpace for
you. 1 realize what this awful
physical in activity and pain
means to you, but I want you to
know I love you, never loved any
one but you. All the other attrac
tions have been only momentary
interests, forgotten the moment
they were over.
"I don't think, Margie, that any
woman has ever understood just
what life —life out in the world
means to a man. My dear, it Is
v hand to hand fight with every
other man. If you are on salary
you have a hundred or two try
ing 10 pull you down that they
■My make room for themselves.
If you are In business for your
self you must remember always
tliero are thousands of others in
the same line.
"You women are all sighing
for what you call equality—you
do not know you are asking not
for a right to earn your living,
but the chance to fight—fight
until at last you are conquered
by death itself.
"I never see a woman enter
business life but I am constrained
to pity her.
"Men will forget, if she is suc
cessful, that she is a woman and
will stand up to her in the same
hand to hand conflict. Some of
them will knife her in the back.
They will lie about her; steal
from her. They will doubly re
sent her entrance into the con
flict because buck in the head of
every man is the conviction that
home is tlio place for a woman."
"But Dick, don't men fight
fairly?"
"Yes, my dear, if they can, but
unfairly if they must. The trend
of business is to 'get there.'
"no you blame us, dear, if
sometime* after the hard fight
we sntach at anything for the
moment to forget?
"History tells u» of the terri
ble aftermath of battle. Man is
j)tit_hjMnan: he gays 'let me for-
get' and does not care very muoh
what it is that brings him the
blessed anesthesia."
Just than the folks ware an
nounced. I wished they had not
come for I loved to hear Dick
talk.
