SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1922 HONOR FOR RETIRED STATESMEN The United States has never succeeded in evolving a solution to the problem of what to do with the ex-presidents in order that sufficient honor and dignity may be theirs without the opportunity being given for them to interfere with the policies of the succeeding administrations. It is even more of a problem to determine what to do with veteran servants of the public such as Uncle Joe Cannon of Illinois. It is scarcely fitting that a man who has sat at all the important councils of the party for half a century should be ex- pected to retire all at once into obscurity, to sit complacently upon his own front porch mind- less of how the affairs of the party are managed or mismanaged. Somebody ought to create here a rank of the Elder Statesman, such as Japan has established to take care of the sensibilities of those who have come to the end of their period of active service, and to reflect upon the party leaders the glory of giving the assurance of respect to grey hairs. There should be a place where Uncle Joe could smoke endless ilong black cigars, give the advantage of half a century's experience in political life, and end his days serene in the confidence that he is still a valued member of the party to which he has devoted hig life. nae MATRIMONIAL REGULA- TION Anna W. Hochfelder, an attor- ney seeking nomination for State Senator from one of New York's districts, is standing upon a plat- form one plank of which is a bill providing that a man who contem- plates marriage shall be required to demonstrate his economic in- dependence and mental capacity a conditions precedent to obtaining a license. And lest there should seem to be an unfair division of the responsibilities of matrimony, the prospective bride shall also be asked to give proof of her ability to support her children in the event of the death of her husband. No particular power of proph- ecy is required to foretell the re- sult of the candidacy of the author of so reactionary a measure, de- sirable as it is that men should have the means of providing for the family which may become his and that there should be no more dependent widows to require the aid of the state and the sympathy of the public. Badly as we need regulation of the conditions under which marriage may be contract- ed, there are limits at which even the more advanced of the public will balk. Legislation to prevent the propagation of their kind by the mentally and physically unfit would be a sufficiently distant goal for any political candidate to seek.
