THE POLITE FRENcHMAN.

You OFF the Pavement.
Among the myths about the Parisians
that have been fastened on the world
at large is the Motor. that they are the
politest people we have. That is a
good old one. but when you come to
analyze it its mythical qualities soon
show. The Parisians are conversation
ally polite. They are the greatest art
lists at the deferential phrase and the
obsequious bow.
Actually the Partisan is not polite.
He is not even passably polite. He is
discourteous and disagreeable. He
walks along the streets as If he owned
them and refuses to turn out, no mat
ter what the circumstances are. He
bumps into passersby who are used
to the ordinary street courtesy, swoops
upon the best seats in the public con-
veyances. will not bulge an inch when
your theater seats are beyond him,
crowds you in the restaurants and
cafes, ogles every woman he meets and
is generally offensive. To be sure. if
he sees chance to get anything away
from you or to advance his own inter-
est at your expense, he says Pardon"
and does what he has in mind. His
politeness consists of that one word,
Pardon" So far as his language goes,

writer in the October Broadw

A writer in the October Broadway
Magazine gives the inside of the recent
newspaper talk about possible trouble
with Japan. Japan's rulers wished to in
crease the appropriation for the army and
navy, and there was strong home senti-
ment against it. In order to have some
excuse for the move, the government EN-
ployed some newspaper agents in this
country to write up and distort everything
that could be twisted to show that this
country was about to make war on Japan.
This was paid for by the Japanese govern.
ment. After the law had been enacted
the whole matter was dropped, and you
now hear nothing more about it. 1t fool
ed the American reading public as we'll as
the Japanese. This is how public senti-
ment is made, and how the people are
fooled by the rulers, both politically and
industrially. The writer says that unless
you know the whole subject, behind the
scenes, you cannot rely on the commonest
item of news in the papers or magazines.

Things are really desperate in the G.

out that President Roosevelt is to take
the stump for his nominee, Taft, and
make whirl-wiud campaign dash across
the country, from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, delivering six speeches, the last
in San Francisco. This, the republicans
hope, will cinch the election of Taft, as
Teddy is expected to smash things with

Held.
Hearst News Service.

Baltimore, Md, September 12.-Old
Defenders Day, the anniversary of the
battle of North Point in defense of
Baltimore against the British in 1914,
was generally observed in Baltimore
and throughout Maryland today. By
proclamation of the mayor and govern
or it is legal holiday in the city and
state, all the banks, exchanges and
public institutions being closed Com
mercial business was partially sus-
pended and several celebrations of a
patriotic character were held.
A project has been set on foot to
hold an international exposition in this
city in 1914, the centennial of the de-
Tense of Baltimore, which marked the
climax of the war of 1912 and the
birth of the Star Spangled Banner"
Preliminary steps have ben taken to
put the plan into effect.
Five thousand British soldiers 1000
sailors and 1000 marines under Cen
eral Ross and Admiral Cookburn, took
part in the attack on Baltimore. Many
of the troops had been with the Duke
of Wellington in his victories over Ma
poleohs armies in Spain and were
styled "Wellington's invincibles." They
were defeated by the unframed de-
tenders of Baltimore in a desperate
battle on September 70, 1914. General
Ross and 700 British troops were kill
ed, while the loss to the Americans
was only twenty killed.
1t was this victory and the sight of
"Old Glory floating over Fort Nc
Henry, after the terrific bombarbment
to which it was subjected the follow
ing night, that inspired Francis Scott
Key to compose the American national
anthem, the Star Spangled Banner"

London, September 12.-As fea-
ture of today's session of the Eucharist
Congress, a celebration of mass in the
Byzantine rite was held today. This
is the first time such a ceremony was
ever performed in London. A special
dispensation permitting the rite was
granted by the pope, on the ground
that it was a happy thought TO give
this great asemblage of Western
Catholics an object lesson of the uni
versatility of the Church by affording
them the rare opportunity of assisting
at the ancient liturgy used by so
many of the brethren of the East. one
with them in faith and in communion
with the Holy See.
The principal business gathering of
the congress was held today in Albert
Hall, several cardinals and scores of
bishops participating. Special religious
services tomorrow will mark the close
of the congress.

WAITING FOR THE HOUSE.
Senate Has No Business on Hand
Likely TO Be Enacted.

The Senate yesterday adjourned until
Thursday and on that day will take
another adjournment until Monday of
next week. This program was arranged
by the republican leaders for the reason
that there are not now on the calendar
any measures that are regarded as of a
pressing character and which are likely
to be enacted this session.
The indications are that there will be
little legislation from now on, except the
appropriation bills. and it is not impos-
sible that Congress will be ready to ad-
tourn at some time between May - and
May 30 The legislation urged by the
President. including the bill amending the
Sherman antitrust laws. which is before
Congress as the National Civic Federation
bill. Is believed by the leaders to be-
doomed. Tie fact that organized labor
does not appear to be satisfied with the
measure is the reason given for the luke
warm attitude of republican members of
Congress toward the proposed legislat ion.
An employers liability bill is one of the
measures that stands a good chance Of
enactment, 1t is believed, although the
bill passed by the House is not satisfac-
tory to the Senate. 1t is thought likely
that this measure will be materially
amended and a conference is depended
upon to harmonic the differences of the
two bodies.
Many members of the House have de-
signs on the Aldrch currency bill and
plan to load 1t down~with amendments
Such a course would result in throwing
that bill Immediately into conference and
If no agreement could there be reached,
substantially along the lines Of the bill
as 1t was when 1t left the Senate, it would
be permitted to die In conference.

STRONG DENIAL MADE
REPORTS OF PERSONAL EN-
COUNTERS CONTRADICTED.

Emphatic denial was given on the floor
Of the House of Representatives today to
the statement appearing in the public
press today regarding an alleged episode
occurring yesterday in the committee on
elections of President and Vice President
and members of Congress.
Rising to a question of personal priv
ilege Mr.. Gaines Of West Virginia, chair
man Of the committee, declared that no
efforts of the members were made to do
each other bodily harm. mo such thing
occurred he said. and nothing like it.
There were no blows at all: there were
none aimed. none lodged. and the situa-
ton did not even approach a personal diff
flculty in any sense whatever
Mr. Hardwck of Georgia, q democratic
member of the committee confirmed Mr.
Gaines statement. There had been. he
said. political and parliamentary differ
ences. but there was not the slightest
personal difficulty. and these newspaper
articles are entirely and absolutely with
out foundation In fact"
Before these explanations were made
Speaker Cannon and Mr.. Williams en-
gagged in a colloquy over the question of
whether or not the question was priv
ileged."
Finally the Speaker ruled that IF 1t was
difficulty over public business by a
committee it was privileged"
Mr.. Williams differed with him. but the
Speaker informed him that it did not
necessarily follow that "a debating class
Is to be organized" Mr. Cannon insisted
that such matters could be made priv
lleged, and he cited a case where the
House took notice of difficulty between
members on the portico of the Cant
tol.
