By WILL ROGERS
Inasmuch as this is early June
and the month will undoubtedly
produce a large number of brides
in the traditional manner I would
like to touch briefly on the sub
ject of matrimony.
As a much younger man looking
forward unknowingly to marriage
I fequentiy pondered what cohesive
force held couples together after
the honeymoon fever died
down and they settled into the ous-
iness of iiving together. After mar
riage I continued to puzzle about
the same question. Now, after 15
years in double harness, I think I
am beginning to formulate the an
swer.
It is, If you please, the mutual
respect of husband and wife, tem
pered by an oldfashioned thing cal
led love.
Many marriages, I am sure, fall
apart because the principals do no
thing to inspire the respect of their
partner in marriage. By respect, I
do not mean some stilted, starched
attitude; I mean a genuine feeling
that a given wife or husband is a
fine person and entitled to con
siderations and services not to be
found out of wedlock.
The job of being a wife or hus
band is none too easy at best.
There are pitfalls all along the way
into which one easily may fall and
only the vigilent make the journey
without a certain number of bruis
es. And even vigilance is not al
ways 100 per cent insurance.
Among maried couples of my ac
quaintance I find the happiest are
those who share the mutual inter
ests and I feel quite sure there has
been a certain amount of giving on
both sides. For instance, 1 know
one* wife whose husband was a
golf addict of the worst sort. So,
being a woman of deep under
standing, she refused to complain
about her husband’s addiction to
the links. On the contrary, she en
couraged him by taking up the
game herself, and parenthetically,
became very proficient. She earned
her husbands respect.
A husband of my acquaintance
has a wife who vastly enjoys clas
sical music. He, on the other hand,
was fond of jive and jazz. But,
through respect for his wife's tastes
he forced himself to accompany her
to concerts of one sort or another
and in time found that his prefe
rence had improved and he actual
ly enjoyed a form of cultural en
tertainment he previously had
loathed.
Not all married folks can make 1
these adjustments, however. Too
often there is a selfish pulling a-
way until some night they finally
sit down to talk their marriage
over and regretfully come to tne j
conclusion that their tastes are so
divergent and their interests so tar
a^ait mat mere is no hope.
All of this, of course, is ni sup
port of the belief that respect of
wife for husband, and vice cersa, !
is the keystone of a happy marri- I
af?e. , j
Many things are involved in se- I
ating respect. I know one wife who
increased her respect for her hus- j
band because he exhibited the for- i
titude to go on a diet which made 1
him look like a human being. Oth-
er wives have been moved deeply
by the achievements of their hus- i
bands in various lines of endeavor.
Success in business by the husband
with the resultant easement of
family financial problems has oft
en given rise to strengthening of
the marital bonds.
Too many youngsters spring in
to mariage in the belief that it is
all moonlight and roses and are
unable to readjust themselves j
when they find this is not the case, j
Take the instance of the couple
who had been married 40 years and I
wound up in the divorce court.
“Why do you wish to divorce this
man?” the judge asked the wife, j
“To tell the truth judge,” she re- 1
plier, “I don’t believe I ever really j
liked him.”
So to those of you who are taking I
the mariage vows this month—or I
any other month, for that matter—• j
let old Papa Rogers give you a
fatherly word of advice. Conduct
yourself as a husband or wife that J
you will earn the respect of your
partner in matrimony. It may take !
a little doing and youmay have to !
break yourself of a few bad haits
Gut it is eminently worth it in the
long run.
I Winder, Ga., July 8—Guberna-
etorial Candidate James V. Car
michael said in a speech prepared
for delivery tonight that his op
ponents are “frantically trying to
mislead the people by every trick
known to the world of politics.”
He said his opponents were
“desperate” over what he de
scribed as his impending victory
in the July 17 Democratic primary
election.
“My opposition has sunk to
such a depth that anything can be
expected between now and elec
tion day,” Carmichael said. “They
will pull every trick possible, irf»
eluding a race riot and bioodshed,
if it can be arranged, in order to
inflame the minds of the peoplp
and swing them away from Car
michael.
“They have tried to trick my
supporters by writing letters to
me and signing the names of Ne
groes to them in an effort to get
replies . . . which they could show
around and insinuate falsely tnat
I favor mixing the races.”
He said the opposition planned
to put thousands of Carmichael
auto posters on the cars of South
Georgia Negroes in an attempt io
prejudice the white voters of the
section against him.
Speaking at Lawrenceville earli
er in the day, Carmichael said tne
state’s entire educational program
will be improved if he is elected.
He emphasized that vocational
education will be made available
to every farm girl and boy w'ho
desires to take advantage of it.
“Seven out of every 10 high
school graduates in Georgia never
reach college,” Carmichael said
“It is essential that we provide
for training in grammar school
and high school which will equip
them to earn a good living and to
support themselves and their
families. Vocational education ot-
fers this opportunity.”
The candidate said assurance to
school teachers that they would be
paid salaries at least 50 per cent
higher than current. scales would
be one means of improving teach
ing standards. Teachers will 'un
paid in full and on time, he added.
The provision of job security and
adequate retirement pay were
promised by the candidate, Car
michael said this would help get
and hold better teachers in the
school system. He also advocated
more research facilities anu ex
pansion of libraries .

TO THE THOUGHTFUL VOTERS
I am one of the candidates for Governor of Georgia,
and set forth the following reasons why, in my
opinion, I am the proper one for you to vote for—
1. My appeal is to the thoughtful and quiet voters.
I realize that they will determine the election.
2. I am the only veteran in this race. I have had
the experiences of the average Georgia boy that
soldiered in two wars. The experiences of members
of the armed forces are built on serious conditions
and their experiences are more broadening and de
veloping than that of the man who stayed at home
and did well for himself in this world’s goods. We
had to go wherever orders carried us. Those three
glamor boys who are running against me never had
to sleep anywhere except of their own choosing all
during those hazardous war years. They never sail
ed the seven seas in the name of democracy, never
went through sub-infested waters, never stepped into
the uncertainty of war. They never had a hazardous
task to perforin. '
3. In seeking election they are spending more than
the salary of the Governor amounts to in 50 years.
Three Governors are fighting for the control of our
state, and each one has help from powerful groups
that do not mind spending a fortune to obtain the
hold they want on our state. How could a prudent
and careful voter see fit to give them their vote?
4. By giving me your vote you place it in support
of a man that believes in and highly values free votes.
5. The finest gift you could give to your soldier or
sailor son is proof that a veteran can be elected Gov
ernor without having to be rich or without having
to seek the aid of rich men and cater to them.
6. No governor should be allowed to pick his own
successor. Let him keep his office and records in
such shape that he is willing to turn them over to
whomever the qualified voters select on their own.
7. Those three Governors have held the office for
the last 14 years between them. We have paid them
$25 per day for 14 years. I consider that we have
paid them in full.
Sincerely yours,
Hoke O'Kelley.
It is sad to relate but the crime
wave among the teen age seems
to be on the increase landing
them in prison camps throughout
the country. Sadness comes over
us when we visit these camps
while the inmates are given the
best care possible under the cir
cumstances. For the crimes these
youths have committed they must
be unished. But the point we ace
trying to ’ impress upon those who
would willingly or thoughtlessly
commit a crime, first see the
hardships a n d embarrassment
brought upon these human beings
and their families and seek to live
an honorable, clean upright life at
all times.
