any woman that ever lived when Il eonee
to a question Of eocial leadership.
"To lead your set is the ambition Of every
woman nowadays. That is why ] am
studying it.
Il talked with a woman Of much expert
enoe in society the other day. I said to her:
How can I lead societyT
'She replied: 1t is easy II you will OBJ
serve a few things. Be graceful, be we'll
dressed, be we'll groomed.'
Then she went on to tell me thai brains
also counted, but they were as nothing to
the three commandments laid down.: Be
graceful, be well groomed and be well
dressed.
"A society leader is always bright but
never sharp She says nice things, but she
never says clever ones. She nds
that her tongue must be nimble, but it must
not cut.
THE society leader Is always in good
spirits; this means she is always healthy.
"The society leader dresses her hair
beautifully. That Is the first chara cteristio
you note.
"Tbe society leader never wears very
low necked gowns, nor does she go to
any othef extreme. Her gowns may be
comparatively sew, but they are perfectly
chosen.
@When you meet a real leader Of society
you will note her voice. It is perfectly
audible, but it is soft and low. You never
ave to ask her to repeat a sentence.
"The real society leader is exquisftely
graceful. Just what she does to keep up
this degree of grace, which is just as pro-
nounced at 90 as at 20, none out herself
can know She works at it all the time
and she never seems to be tired Of trying
TO be graceful. 1t becomes a sort of second

PRIMARY Law WORKS WE'LL

The new primary law in Illinois
was given its first test on Saturday
and the verdict was one of approval
1t is susceptible of efeotual improve
ment, OF course. but it has proved
with the first experiment to be the
hardest blow 70 '.bossism," be that
"bossism" for the better or worse.
The primary in Illinois is now popu-
lar election The rank and file of
the two big parties are given a say
in the selection Of candidates and
are not compelled by the spirit Of
party loyalty to follow the blind lead
of wire pullers. The real voters are
given the right to decide through
the secret ballot whom they shall
follow 1t is no longer possible in
the sister state for a few crafty
schemers who play the game of poll
tics for. personal ends to force upon
the people through packed eonven-
tions candidates in whom they have
nothing in common outside of party
fealty.
The people of Illinois now know
for whom they are voting from the
first inception of the candidacy
While holding allegiance to one party
or the other they can fall in behind
the man of their own choice and not
the man who is forced upon them
In many states there has been an
agitation to bring about the election
of United States senators by popular
vote. The new primary law in Hi
nois has made a long stride in that
direction We know now that Shell
by NJ. Gullom is the choice of his
party for the senatorship and thai
Richard Yates canot be a candidate
1t is reasonably certain that the IL
linois legislature will be Republican
Therefore, the trouble on that score
is all over and the people can Civ,
their thoughts to something.

RAILROAD NOTES

Locomotive engineers in this coun-
try are increasing at the rate of about
1000 per year. The freight traffic
in the United States and Canada
nearly doubles every decade, and it
requires a good many new engineers
and also other trainmen to take care
of the natural expansion of railroad
business. In the last two years 3S1
engineers were killed while perform
ing their duties, while a great many
more were obliged to quit the rail
road service. IN spite of our growth
the Brotherhood has not nearly
enough engineers to supply the de-
mand of the railroads,
From information which we have
carefully compiled we find the aver
age life of the engineer is only ten
years. In that time he either dies
on duty or from natural causes or is
totally disabled. The average age
of our members is forty-one years
yet there are engineers seventy years
old who are running some of the fast
est trains in the country. When you
see an old man il al engine cab you
may be sure he is a first-elass mar
with a clean record.

WITH THE EDITORS.

The reasoning of the average Pro-
hibitionists will ever be a puzzle
Ohio has one of the strictest saloon
laws of any state in the union The
license fee is placed at $1,000 and
every community has the right to
exclude Saloons Under this law the
number of saloons has been greatly
decreased and prohibition established
in many counties. These results. it
would seem, should be pleasing to the
Prohibitionists. But such is not the
case for in their state convention
this week they vigorously denounced
the law as a covenant with death
and an alliance with the devil. We
fear our Prohibition friends will

Breach of Promise by Simplex.

There is trouble in the Manufac-
turers' baseball league here in Ham
mond and the cuase is an alleged
breach of promise on the part of the
manager of the Simplex team,
The Simplex team had a game
scheduled with the players from the
Fitz Hugh Luther plant for Satur-
day, August at $3.50 p. m. 1t was
understood that the game was to be
played at the Hubbard ball park and
at the appointed time there were
about one hundred spectators and the
players from the Fitz Hugh Luther
plant waiting for some one to open
the gates.
Manager oliver Knoth and his
players were not there, and after
waiting for some time, a man was
sent down town to find the manager
and his missing team. According to
the story the Fitz Hugh Luther play
ers tell, Manager Knoth was found
in front of Milligan's and was asked
why his team had not put in an ap-
pearance.
Knoth is said to have explained
that he called for the keys to the
grounds and was informed that the
grounds were to be used by the Reid
Murdoch and Conkey teams and that
the manager of one of these teams
had the keys The messenger from
the waiting crowd at the ball grounds
then went to NJ. Millikan and found
to his surprise that the keys were in
Millikan's possession and that the
Reid Murdoch and Conkey teams wer,
playing on the Harrison park
grounds.
This was to be the second game
in the Manufacturers baseball leagu,
and the Fitz Hugh Luther players
who had to pay men to take tht
places of those who could not Obtain
leave otherwise, are in an ugly moot
over the affair.

THE GOD OF WAR.
clustering HAIRS and His Name Month,
the Thracian of the Twelve.

clustering Mars and His Name Month,
the ThracIan of the Twelve.
Mars was not a favorite among the
classic Greeks, nor is his name month
a great favorite among the Gothic
moderns. The god of war was bar
harlan intruder in the Olympian circle.
There was something Thraeian, and by
that token crude and unworthy in his
manner. He was more of a blusterer
than a fighter, and Homer narrates
with evident relish how Pallas Athene
tumbled him over in combat, his vast
bulk covering several acres. OF wild
aspect. untutored ways and Indifferent
wits, he had little to recommend him
but his immoral origin.
Such also is the month that has taken
the war gods name. One poet notes
its ugly looks and threats" "a half
wild creature cast from natures lap,
another calls it. The proverb mad as
March hare" says the same thing
with less retieenee. English people
call the month March Manyweath-
ers'' and thereby intimate their doubt
Of its capacity for sustained purpose.
It is the Thraeian of the twelve. as
September is the Tyrian. There is
something clustering and barren in its
aspect, as there is in what people call
"a good war" The winds that blow
from one end of it to the other are not
sthe winds OF God" A peck of March
Dust may be worth a kings ransom, as

age human it gets less grateful guer-
