Any wedding day might be called “a day of good intentions.” Then a man is at his maximum of gener- osity, a woman at her maximum of consecration. For a day—perhaps for a year and a day—they maintain this high sincerity. But sooner or later, the man or the woman, in jealousy, grief, anger or despair asks, “What am ‘I’ getting out of this, anyway?” Note the capital “I.” For THAT is what's the matter with marriage. , But do not blame the egoist. For the man made the woman what she is, and the woman made the man what | he is. And it began long, long before they were married. “How beautiful you are,” he says. ‘How wonderful yo wire ” says she. Then he kisses her, and she considers herself engaged;*"'und forever by a sanenhiigib ica jaca ' MACKENZEN READY T0 ON BUCHAREST BERLIN (Via Wireless to Sayville, L. 1.), Oct. 25. —Cernavoda, eastern terminus of the great 14-mile raile way bridge crossing the Danube into Rumania, was cap- tured by Field Marshal Mackenzen’s army this mornin, it was officially announced today.

BY WALTER ‘LIPPMANN (Copyright, 1916, by the Republic Publishing Co.) Met Mr. Wilson's eloquence, but his extraordinary growth, has made the case for him. who has uttered a few too many noble sentiments, but for the Wilson wio is evolving under experience and is remaking his philosophy in the lHght of it, for the Wilson who is temporarily, at least, creating, out of the reactionary, parochial fragments of the democracy, the only party which at this moment is nation- al in scope, liberal in purpose, and effective in action He was the nominee of a party which was divided between the machine which almost selected Champ Clark and the un- {lluminated provincialism of Bryan. Its stock in trade was a tradition of hostility to organized action, of laissez-faire in gov- ernment, of the crudest kind of eighteenth century amateur democracy. In foroign affairs it was a party of isolation and irresponsibility, It seemed to lack all power of cobesion, it showed no signs of any ability to plan comprehensively, and in the test of action it seemed to have an trresistible tendency to fly apart into sulky groups, It rested on the tragic solid- arity of the South, the corrupt machines of the cities, and a helpless radicalism in other parts of the country CONSTRUCTIVE STATESMAN That was the condition which confronted Woodrow the cond Wil jon of his own party, and the traditions in his own mind he worst faults of his administration are clear- ly due to it.

He yi: id enough to turn the democratic congress into the most con- structive legisiative instrument which has been at the capital in generations, What is more, he did not continue to yield, for the later ap- pointments are of an altogether different quality than the earlier ones, Once he had unified his party, subdued Bryan- ism and the machine, be began to stbstitate purpose where there had been mere partisanship. He became the master of his party, and he has used the mastery for ends which are on the whole so undeniably good that Mr, Hughes has hardly dared to attack them, While this transformation was taking place, Mr. Wies@ (Continued en page 6)
