their standing. OF course, when one
has official dignity he is invited to the
President ball and other official
functions. and has entree into society.

intercourse in its American sense.
Nobody isallowed to seea young lady

pleasure in this kind of visit to most
young men of America. Guatemala
City has a population of $4,000. but
has no theaters. There was an opera
company of fair character there two
years ago. but there have been no at

the past season. Living Is very high

by no means correspondence high.

HUMoR ENOANGERS AMBITION
Men Whose Reputation for Wit
Iiandicaps them in Politics.

If | were not Tom COrwin I might
be President said one of the great
est wits of his day. alluding to the
difficulty that besets Il wit in his Ell
beavers to have people take: him: :seri-
Ously. Sunset Cox. whose wit made
him the idol of Washington society. ut
tered Il similar complaint. Chauncey
Depew firmly believes that his reputa-
tion as an after-dinner Ia lker is stand
ing between him and the presidency
Gen. Porter has repeatedly voiced the
opinion that wit is an imassale bar
rier to high distinctions. Perhaps
Tom Reed. in view of the failure of
his presidential boom. will harbor the
same theory. for Reed is as genuine
IA wit as could be mentioned. His
sallies are of that sparkling, happy
sort that flash and cut, but rarely
rankle. At his best he is largely rem
iniscent of Cox, who had the same
spOntaneity. the same imperturbable
good nature. the same causticity when
occasion demanded. Depew's wit is of
the touch-and-go-order. The fun of it
lies less in what he says than in how
he says it. His witticisms do not look
we'll in print. Porter, on the other
hand. is one of the testers whose jests
gain in the types. They are even fun
nier when carefully thought out than
when heard at the table. Hopkinson
Smith. the author and painter, is
equally felicitous in the construction
of the jokes. Their polish is as ad-
mirable in the types almost as when
reflected in his carefully modulated
sentences. What is the secret of this
popular distrust of the wits:-if dis
trust it be: Are wits less profound in
their grasp of public affairs than their
more sober fellows? Or can it be pos
sible that the wise men of the nation
fear the consequences of Il well-devel-
oped sense of humor in the cabinet.
