Delmas Says Genius Is Hard Work


Dolphin Michael Delmas the senior
counsel in the Thaw trial has been
the subject of a three column story
by Edwin Emerson in the Boston
Herald, from which the following is
taken:
"Delmas was born in France, the
son of French parents, He himself
pronOunces his name Delmah, and
in his early days resented any other
pronunciation. He is proud of his
likeness to Napoleon, and for this
reason prefers to let but one portrait
of himself get abroad. This is a
photograph which was taken many
years ago in San Jose, showing a
stray curl over his forehead after the
manner of certain famous portrait
of Napoleon.
Delmas' people came to California
in the days of the gold rush, and set
tied in the Santa Clara valley. In
the town of San Jose a street bears
this family name.
Delmas was educated at the Jesuit
college of Santa Clara, one of the best
classical colleges of America. He was
graduated from it with the highest
honors and received a gold medal
for his proficiency in the classics.
Only one other man in California
holds the mate to this medal, and
that is the president of the college.
Delmas, according to the college au-
thorities, was the brightest pupil
ever graduated from Santa Clara.
Afterward he was graduated from
the Yale Law school and was admit
ted to the Connecticut bar.
They tell this story of his school
boy days at Santa Clara:
'DelmaS, the better to perfect him
self in Greek, solicited the favor of
private readings with Father White.
the best Greek scholar of the Santa
Clara faculty. For the first lesson he
brought his own copy of Demosth-
enes' Grafton, whereas Father White
brought none
will you read from my book,
Father" asked Delmas
No" replied Father White. Il
need no book. / have my text by
heart
For the next lesson DeImas came
empty handed.
Where is your book, my SOM"
asked Father White.
Il need no book" said Delmas. 4
have learned my text by heart"
Any one who has ever toiled
through Demosthenes' endless ora
tons may we'll doubt this tale, but
| have it from the lips of Father
White himself.
His story is thoroughly character
istic of Delmas as student and law
yer. In Delmas' own words. there
is no such thing as genius. So-called

The rivalry was great at the annual
cricket match police versus publicans,
and many friendly bets depended on
the result. When the last batsman,
Police Constable Robinson, walked to
the wicket the police required only two
runs to win, and naturally great ex-
element prevailed. He batted with
due care until a loose ball came, and,
hitting this past mid-on, he started for
an easy run. He got home eomforta-
bly, before the wicket was thrown
down, but to his disgust he was given
out.

JAPANESE DIPLOMACY

That the Japanese are born diplo-
mats is matter beyond dispute.
They use this method individually
and as a nation to gain their point
Courteous, cunning, magnetic In de-
meanor and mentally bright, they
gain the confidence and respect of
those with whom they come In con-
tact.
This characteristic was displayed
In their preparations for the conflict
with Russia and we all know the re-
suit They first formed an offensive
and defensive alliance with England
whereby each nation was to assist
the other In case OF war should an
other nation interfere on behalf of
the enemy. This move kept all other
European nations from lending assis-
lance to Russia. The signing OF the
treaty was followed by extensive war
preparations and the final opening of
hostilities.
The war having been successfully
terminated. Japan sought and obtain
ed closer alliance with England by
which they agree to assist each other
In any war with any other nation.
Japan Is making extensive war prep
arations. and in all this Capt. Hobson
sees preparation for contest with
the United States which might SER
iously change the map OF America to
the commercial and territorial adj
vantage OF both the British and Jap
anese With the British TO menace
our Atlantic coast the Japs would
meet with but little resistance In taxi
Ing the Philippines. Guam and Ha-
wailan islands, following up these
captures by an invasion of the Pacific
coast. This is one view of the guess
ton.
Hobaon fails to look on the other
side. With Japan and her ally night
ing the United States, both France
and Russia. our old time friends In
emergencies, would ally themselves
with our cause and there would ensue
the greatest war In the worlds hist
ory.
Such a contest Is possible; It is
even probable.

a Lesson For Husbanda.

A play translated from the French
and recently put on the boards in
New York has the usual hing at the
ambitious wife and has made a hit
The lesson for wives IL well brought
out, judging from the many editorial
comments upon the play. But the
moral for husbands should not be lost
sight Of while condemning the folly Of
the wife.
The name Of the play, The Thief"
does not fairly indicate the motive Of
the dramatist. ThIeveEy Is incidental
to the wife's passion for the admira-
ton of her husband. She sees that he
has eyes for women who are well
dressed and have style, but none for
herself. He does not give her the
means to dress according to his taste;
hence she steals In order to win the
attention which she believes her right.
Dresses and good looks are trivial
things. and sensible women do not
mourn If they do not possess them un-
less the lack OF them stands In the
way Of their keeping the affections Of
their husbands. Seldom do women in
this country go so far as did the
French wife whose pitiful struggle is
depicted In ''The Thief" But no doubt
there are some American wives whose
feelings are bitter and whose tempta-
ton Is great. They strive in devious
and doubtful ways to bedeck them
selves and after all may conclude that
the game Is not worth the candle.
Love 80 gained Is generally a poor re-
turn for the sacrifice. Women take
their husbands as they ind them
tall or short, fat or thin, well manner
ed or uncouth. Husbands who insist
that their spouses shall be as attrac-
tive as other women should pay the
price, at the same time remembering
that the wife is no better for her
plumage and that It is only their own
eyes which are at fault.

The conclusion reached by Mr.. Wal
ter II. Page in Worlds Work that 1t IL
better TO locate colleges In the city
than in the country Is sharply chal-
lenged by American Medicine in a re-
cent editorial. Mr. Page made series
Of Investigations last year and advised
the establishment OF colleges In cities,
where. he says. temptations are no
greater than in villages. Says Ameri-
can Medicine:
City life Is very deadly 10 the young, q
fact known TO anthropologista for long
time and we are now In a fair way 20
explain the phenomenon. For hundreds
OF years country families have hocked 70
the towns, TO die out In a few genera
tons. 80 that cities are said to be con-
auners OF rural populations. A man
raised In the country seems TO stand the
unknown strain. but his children some
times perish long before he does. Every
physician knows OF theaa disappearing
families where the country bred parents
survive al their city bred children. The
trolley system which permits suburban
homes is doing more for the survival OF
these types than the lay public realises
damage by establishing the colleges In
the cities, IL deadly and should be re-
bnked by the medical profession at once.
These conclusions are entitled to q
hearing. 1t IL claimed that the cities
offer college boys a broader view Of
life. But during school days this adj
vantage may DO a hindranco rather
than help to sound education. Boys
should not lose their youthful Illusions
too early They'll become cynical fast
enough when they strike the real prob
lens Of life. Boys Injured to city life
have certain kind of precocity. bat it
is fact, as American Medicine points
out, that tremendous percentage Of
noted men have been educated out Of
the cities"

that handsome should have become

Of Mr.. Baker he writes:
