The situation in which,former President Taft finds himself in
his
presidential campaign is pathetic.

,|,o are thinking about voting against the League of Nations simply
Hicause they don't like President Wilson.
This is what Taft said on that occasion:
“My friend, suppose you were a senator, or suppose you had
wmr to influence a aenator# and you influenced him agaiiut the
min of Nation*. Suppose the League came in and worked those
•fits that we believe it will work, and 25 years later, after that

'Grandad, why did you vote against the League?*
"Suppose you are a man who voted against it because you hate Mr.
son—men have told me that they hated Mr. Wilson, and so they

ADVENTURES
Of 1 THE TWINS
b/ Oliva Roberts’ Barton
DR. MINK INVESTIGATES
J^R MINK looked at Markie Musk- like a big base drum, only faster,
rat’s tongue When the little
chap said he eouldn’t go up front
and recite his piece. Mr. Scribble
Scratch, the fairyman schoolmaster,
had told him to, you know, because
the five school board gentlemen, Mr.
Owl, Judge Crow, and all the oth
ers were viisting the Meadow Grove
school.
Markie had a long red tongue and
Mink looked* it all over very care
fully. “It looks very clean,” he
nodded Wisely, “extra clean, as
though he'd brushed it with a tooth
though 1
brush.”
Markie blushed to the tip of his
nose, for he knew why his tongue
was clean. But when Dr. Mink saw
him blushing, ho said hastily
“Why, I believe the child has a
fever! He’s so red!” And he stuck
a great thermometer Into Markle’s
mouth.
After a few minutes he took it
out. “No, he hasn’t any fever at
all,” he exclaimed. “Hia tempera
ture is only a hundred and twenty-
five. Now, little boy, let me feel
your pulse.” So Markie stuck out
a paw which Dr. Mink took hold of,
and then he started to count on his
watch.
“My goodness!” he cried after a
few seconds. “His heart is beating
as. though he had been running
race. I believe he’s nervous. I do
believe he is. Now stand up until
I tap you all over and find out
where the bad nerve is.” And he
tried to stand Markie on his feet.
But Markie was stuck fast, the
chewing gum he had sat on holding
on to Him like a cement sidewalk
sticks to the ground.
“Why I do believe he’s paralyzed
surel” said Dr. Mink giving him
quite a pull.
“Ouchl” yelled Markie for every
hair was hurting like seventy, came
over his face. “I think I have
found the trouble,” he announced
learnedly. “It’s a strango diseas
called stuckankantmovaninch. But
I think I can save his life If every
body does as I direct.”

THE BOOK OF DEBORAH,
n Bob Guilty of Any Act of Disloy
alty to Jane?
“The poor girl is finding out a
god deal about the high cost of lov
ing,” said Chrys, when I told her
how bravely Deborah Bums had
turned away from her great tempta
tion.
“It isn’t as if Deb were a little
saint like you, Jtne. You manage
somehow to keep up with all the new
philosophies, without getting a bit
upset!”
'“So do you, Chrys!”
"We’re older than Deb. You’re
. married—and I—”
ou’re a feminlftst!” I interrupt
ed. “For you, equal right in love,
or no love at all!” I almost stam
mered, for I had had it on r..y ton
gue’s end to say that she was an
corrigible cynic about love.
“Between us, we girls represent
the three emotional condition of
the modern woman, I should say,”
mused Chrys. “I myself do not be
lieve that any human love lasts very
long—except that of the mother for
the child-”
“Very advanced notion, I suppose,
but of course I don’t follow you,
Chrys.”
“Few do. ^Now you, Jane, keep
all the old-fashioned faith in the
‘love-me-forever’ theory, in spite of
tha revelations you’re always get
ting from some new novel. But poor
Deb! What a price Bht pays! She’s
so young—to be simply pushed in
One direction by eroticism—and
then held to the most rigid conven
tions by—by her bringing up. I sup
pose.”
“You’re wrong there, Chrys. Deb
is stabilized by instincts all women
possess—only some refuse .to ust
them.”
“Maybe. At nay rate, she’s only
one of many lovely and loveable
girls who are tom between two opin
ions today, who are trying to find
some level ground upon which to
build their happiness. I say that
modem love is expensive in its aw
ful waste of woman’s best emotions.
She can’t take any love simply, can’t
accept it naturally, as her mother
did.”
“You’ve omitted one type of now
woman from your count, Chrys.”
“Name it.” ’
“The so-called ’vamp,' ” I replied.
“Never saw one,” Chrys scoffed,
v “I hnve. Our neighbor!" I said
bitterly. ■ .
“Of course. I forgot about Kath
erine—she'd be a good example if
she had any brains. But she doesn’t
care about any man—she can’t love,
I mean. She’s vanity and egotism
and she merely wants a man to say
to her, ‘Pretty! Pretty!’ ”
“Exactly- She’s perfectly un
scrupulous!” I raved. “Without
judgment or generosity—”
“Jane Lorimer, what’s the matter
with you? Is it possible that you’re
jealous of an inferior creature like
—” Chrys paused. “That doesn’t
sound very nice, does it? My dear,
I see why you've been moping late
ly. It’s perfectly absurd!”
“She’s destructive!” I wailed. “Be
yond any woman I ever sawl And
Bob—” I stopped suddenly. I had
never discussed my domestic diffi
culties with my sister-in-law. Bat
that morning my hurt was deep and
I raged:
“When a woman accuses a man
of disloyalty, ho flies into a tem
per, if he is guilty. But if he Is
nob guilty, ho kisses her and calls
her a little silly! Well, Chrys. Bob
doesn’t call me silly any more-”
