The Man Who

The man who thinks that the world
is soup and that he's the only fork in
the service had better get a spoon,
Soup and the world are hard to con-
quer with a fork.
The man who breaks two soft-boiled
eggs into a cup and thinks that be-
cause the first two were good the
third must be. also, has another guess.
OVer-confidence ruins the best of us.
The man who apologies to the tele-
phone girl for disturbing her slumbers
when he rings for a number, gets the
reply that he is mo Gentleman!" 1t is
too bad that politeness is not classed
as virtue. The line was busy any
way.

The case of Henry Huka, if the pro-
ceedings in the Home Rule committee
meeting are correctly reported, and
there is no reason to doubt this correct
ness, presents an opportunity to en-
force discipline, which the Republican
County convention should not fail to
seize. Huka was a member Of the
Home Rule Central Committee. With
out resigning from that committee, he
claimed to become a Republican and
was elected a delegate to the Republic
can County convention from the
seventh precinct OF the Fifth District.
With an obtuseness to the decent fit
ness of things, almost incredible, he
appeared at the Horte Rule committee
meeting yesterday, apparently to take
| his place in that body. When his
right was questioned he declared that
his heart was Home Rule While his
body was Republican, whatever that
may mean. To the credit of the Home
Rule organization, it threw him out.
The Home Rulers recognized, whether
Huka could or not, that a man cannot
be on both sides in politics at the
same time. And yet, If his statement
means anything, it means that he is
ty Convention, if it is to preserve it's
y Convention, if it is to preserve its
self respect, cannot do less than the
Home Rule Committee did-throw
Huka out. By his own confession, he
is not Republican. 1t has been one
of the anomalies of politics in this ter
ritory that there has been singular
disregard of what elsewhere is con-
sidered the most primary and elemental
ethics of politics. Many seem to
think that they can belong to three or
four different parties at once. There
| have been numerous cases where men
holding membership in the party COM
mittees of one party, have publicly
! Joined another party without the
decency of resigning from the COM
mittee of the first. Huka seems to be
in this category. The convention will
now have a splendid opportunity to give
notice that no man can be a Republican
without cutting himself off from all
Allegiance with every other political
organization, and that no man can be
member of a Republican convention
about whose Republicanism there is the
slightest doubt. 1t is time that
grafters and time servers were cut
| adrift.
