Whom Shall we Have for

While Griffith and Devereux

of Springfield, the big politicians
are looking out for big game.
There is to be nominated four
teen months hence a president of
the United States and candl-
date for governor, the two larg-
est and most coveted Offices Of
the nation. Whom shall we have?
Hughes of New York, will make
a fine man for the head of this
nation or J. B. Foraker, either
We endorse Foraker and Hughes
as they are men of large calibre
men Of national repute-men
like Blaine, Sumner, Webster,
Seward, etc. They are rock.
ribbed republicans and their Re
publcanism is more than skin
deep. Fairbanks is spoken OF
but it seems that he is not strong
nationally as he was in 1914.
Beveridge i; a brilliant star,
but he is younger aud les ex
perienced than any of the above
named.
On the democratic side Bryan
and Hearst are brilliant lumina-
ries, but Hearst is sakir and
Bryan is not sincere or rather he
showed a weakness by making
one sort of speeches in Europe
and New York and another sort
in K entucky and other states.
AS to governor of Illinois, you
can't place Deneen, but the peo-
pie don't want Deneen longer,
many would exchange Deneen
for Yates now. A United States
senator is to be elected at the
same time. Hopkins, of course,
wants to retain his place but the
people don't want Hopkins
they do not say why. Yates is
the best man for governor or
for Hopkins place either. We
can't foretell the outcome, but if
Busse is elected mayor of Chica-
go, there will be some forecast
ing, Busse was with the Cullom
element and Deneen was on the
fence So it is not easy to keep
track of Deneen. He is shrewd
if not a trick politician.

Man a Dumb Animal.

Man is dumb animal That funda-
mental fact is not realized by wom-
en-. who, after all, know very little about
him. 1t accounts for two accusations,
different in form but essentially akin
which have recently reached the ears OF
the world. Modern man, it is said, has
no IDEAS Look at him in the drawing
room. Either he sits with a superior
smile or becomes red to the ears and
rather frightened And now for the
other charge. In no way, one hears.
does man show his inferiority to women
so much as at his clubs. Man has clubs
for mere base material ends-in fact,
merely for clubs. The fair sex must
needs adorn its clubs with debates and
public dinners Of many speeches that
the intellects of its members may be
properly fed. Hence some good people
are led to assume that the female in
tellect is far more bright and beautiful
than the male.
Why is it that the thought of his
club running a debating society affiicts
the normal man with unspeakable hor-
ror. Because man is essentially a dumb
animal. He has, indeed, learned to speak
and he does speak; not too wisely or TOO
well in various public ways. But he nj
ways has an object. The notion of talking
for talking's own sake is alien to him. He
thinks it feminine and uncanny-which
are two words for the same thing. So he
has no small talk-no conversation. His
only ambition in that line appears to be
to tell a funny story. A melancholy
exercise from which many excellent peo-
pie have suffered much. To be witty--to
be entertaining-these things he asso-
ciates with the prig.
Now women are on this matter quite
different from men. They may have no
more ideas. but they have the gift of
tongues. They are artists in conversa-
ton and they believe in art for arts
own sake.
The best of all talk is talk for talks
own sake. People who talk to instruct
you may be performing very worthy
or a very necessary work, but they are
not making the highest use of their
tongues Talk for its own sake has no
laborious object in view. 1t must not be
attempted in a stern and righteous spir-
it. but with a readiness to amuse and
he amused.

Why He's a Bachelor

WY should | marry, Sadie? know
man without woman is theoretically in
complete, but he can make himself UNI
commonly comfortable in his incomplete
ness
This was the reply of well known
bachelor TO married friend who re-
preached him for his persistence in TIE
single state.
There is one thing. he went on,
that man really does want wife for
TO nave a companion who can understand
ana sympathize with him in the inter-
ests that fill the chief place in his life.
but owing to the present system of edu-
eating girls that's the one thing that it's
almost impossible to find | can't see
why, since it's generally admitted that
the object of a girls existence is to mar
~, those who have her education in
charge don't try to make her an intell-
gent and capable partner of the man to
whom her destiny is ultimately to be
linked
Parents apparently know only one
way to educate their daughters. They
see that they become acquainted with a
multiplicity of subjects and acquire a
surface knowledge of the great auctions
of the day. The result is that when
young women are launched into society
their one great anxiety is to conceal
their ignorance. Some of them to attain
this end assume a profound knowledge
of matters wherein they have formed
the most erroneous and partial opinions
while others seek safety in asserting to
any view of any subject put before
them. Under these circumstances a man
might have daily intercourse with the
woman who had been specially created
as helpmeet for him without having
a suspicion that she was one with whom
he could ever have thought or feeling
IN common. If the subject in which a
girl is found to have the keenest inter
est were chosen as the object of her spe-
cial training and education, on that one
subject, at least, she would be able to
hold her own, and when she met man
whose life interests resembled her own
each would recognize the other as the
companion needed to make life COM
plete."

Guests Duties Are as
Decided as Those of the Hostess.

Ore hears a great deal as to what
hostess should do for her guests, but
little as to guests obligations toward
a hostess. AS a matter of fact, the
stranger or friend has very distinct du-
ties toward her entertainer, and the re-
membering of them is a point of good
breeding.
From the instant an invitation of any
kind is received the obligation begins.
Whether one be hidden to luncheon, dim
ner or to make a lengthy visit the re-
quest must be promptly answered
may be. To leave an invitation open
while waiting to see if one can accept
is extremely rude, unless express per-
mission has been given. Even then u
puts the hostess in the awkward posi-
ton of trying to find another to fill the
place left vacant by refusal at the last
moment.
TO both a man and his wife should be
accepted by one and refused by the 9TH
er. If both cannot go both must stay
away. The obvious reason is that either
an odd man or odd woman is on the
hostess hands by a refusal from one,
and this is not desirable.
No person has the least right when
a guest to express disapproyal or bore
dom. If the form of entertainment does
not suit. or ones neighbors are stupid,
il is unfortunate, but one must make
+he hest of il. 1t is still ones bounden
dntv TO try to be entertaining and anus
ing and if one does not have a good
tiTne or does not care for the people che
meets. it is not necessary TO go again
70 the same place. Once there, how
ever it is imperative that one shall not
be a wet blanket
At any meal it is the part OF good
form RI accept some of each course and
- nretend to eat the food, even though
one does not want it. To refuse and sit
Nv with empty plate is most uneomfort-
able for the hostess.
Arrive for a meal at the moment spe-
cited in the invitation, and never earlier
than five minutes before the dinner, etc.
