bewitching as fawn tangled in the

our hope, our romance, our vine and

AMERICAN CLUBS ARE ALL WRONG.
Philadelphia Bulletin: american
clubs are few and small, }" said a social
philosopher, "because they exist on a
radically wrong principle. This prin-
ciple is that club life is au extrava-
gance, whereas the right principle of
club life is that 1t is an economy.
London is the club city of the
world. Why are Loudon's clubs SO
splendid and so popularp Because a
man can dine, drink, smoke and amuse
himself in them almost as cheaply as
In his own house-far and away more
cheaply than in a cafe or a hotel.
"Hence, In London, every man de.
sires to join good club, for a London
club is an institution that actually
saves its members money. But here
In America our clubs are conducted
extravagantly, and It is an extrava.
gance to belong to them. Only the
very prosperous American can afford
to be club man"
NOT THAT KIND.
Chicago Chronicle Everybody con-
cedes that the farmer is the most In.
dependent man on earth; yet the
tremendous growth of the cities proves
pretty conclusively that no great pro;
portion of US yearn for that kind of
independence. On the contrary, the
farm boy comes to the city; but the
city boy does not 60 to the country
except for a vacation. If it we're not
for INN grants who prefer an agri.
cultural life American farms would
be dcs,late within 4 generation or
two.
INSPIRING.
New York World: Elihu Roots
letter 10 Mayor Weaver, iclearly in
dicat NJ that district attorneys are
elt CT, d 10 prosecute political as we'll
as private offenders, has healthy,
vigorous tone that ought to inspire
the friends of good government every
where. As Mr.. Root says, the ques.
tion is whether Philadelphia "shall
continue to be governed by criminals
or shall take its place on the list of
American cities capable of honest
self-government." That list, by the
wav, would make interesting read.
ing. Mr.. Root ought to publish 1t.
TWO SIGNS OF PROGRESS.
Minneapolis Tribune: Probably
the first Indian divorce in the country
was fled in Montana the other day.
There is evidence that the red man
is rapidly adopting the customs of
the whites. When the baseball sea-
son arrived he deserted her and went
off with the white team. This is fur.
ther evidence.
LAFoLLETTE's FUTURE.
Springfield Republican The ex-
PLANTATION is offered that the reason
for Gov. LaFollett's going on the
lecture platform is his need of money.
he Is not a rich man, it is said, and
his political opponents have made
life as expensive as they could for
him in Wisconsin. The people at
large will welcome him to the senate
for the very reason that he is not a
millionaire, but he will hardly find
Washington cheaper place to live
In than Wisconsin.
NO LAUGHING.
Cincinnati Enquirer: Bishop vii.
son, of Chattanooga, said hell laugh.
ed when Bishop Potter opened the
subway saloon. These amenities be-
tween bishops are interesting. Bishop
Potter probably did not lahgh when
he heard what Bishop Wilson said.
he merely smiled.
WHAT FOLK HAS LEARNED.
st. Louis Globe Democrat: Gov.
Folk writes In the Independent that
everybody 10 in favor of enforcing
the law against everybody else. That
10 the reason why the governor who
enforces all the laws can always keep
a ma jority with him. Mr.. Folk talks
like q man who has found this out.
APART FROM POLITICS.
Sheboygan (wis.) Herald: 1t 10 to
be regretted that the crusade now be.
ing waged In Milwaukee to extirpate
graft" cannot be treated apart from
its relation to factional politics
There is absolutely no politics In
graft" and neither should there be
In the administration of criminal law.
The great newspapers that seek tc
utilize this movement as one calcula
ted to further or promote factional
politics deserve the rebuke of every
right-minded citizen. 1t exhibits a
narrowness and bigotry unworthy Of
