"You know, a girl will go down to hell for a man if 6he loves him." I This is the final remark in an in terview given by a New Orleans girl who, discovered that he sweetheart was enmeshed in a narcotic smug gling ring, went to the underworld and got evidence that sent the chief smuggler to prison. In return, federal agents did not prosecute her sweet heart. But that young man thereupon left her and married another girl. Now the process isn't always as! melodramatic or adventurous as it was in her case. More often it is wholly unexciting, colorless, as a. matter of fact. There aren't anyj newspaper headlines about it. Usually i the man himself hardly realizes what' the girl he loves is doing for him. But the hell may be just as real. nevertheless. Some years ago a girl went from her father's farm to a small city to study. She was young, fresh, joyous. 1 ..11 j i t m i3 v J"? aim nan uazziea oy ner youth were burning within her. The future was to be wonderful, dazzling. She knew she could do it. And then she met a man an earnest, struggling young teacher. And. unfortunate ?irl. she fell in love' with him. She married him, and they removed to a small town in the back country where the young husband had taken charge of a little prepara-. ! tory school. Well, that ended the dreams.

It would be one more step toward the highly centralized condition, which is supposed to be the grand ideal of the Republican party, Yet. one of the first voices raised against the Capper bill is that of the Chicago Tribune, whose republicanism is traditional. "The proposal for a federal di- vorce law, say ine iriDune, is an- be virtually insoluble. The solical sense of other states is expressed in laws which enable men an! women to obtain their freedom when the bond is not a true one. There are a great many ideas on the subject when the bond is not a true one. There are the interests of their people. The disposition td clamp the whole United gtates ,nto one mo,d ... contrary to the weli-being of the people of the county."

A revival of legislation along the lines of the McNary-Haugen bill in con gress appearB inevitable. Senator Cummins is reported already as draft ing a bill which will do for the Iowa corn grower what Brazil and Eng land, respectively, do for their coffee and rubber producers. Here and there a farm leader pro poses that the "more equitable par ity" be established by reducing the tariff and letting the price of manu factured articles down, rather than toy legislation designed to lift the price of corn, but that is not yet ac cepted as sound economic philosophy in the hawkeye state. :o: Youne Bob La Follette has been re ceived into fellowship, communion and committee by the old guard sen - ators.
