The strongest point made in DR..
Woodrow Wilson'S address before the
Contemporary Club, was in urging the
duty OF every man to be politician
to the extent OF taking an active In
terest in public affairs. He believes
in political parties. but believes, and
correctly, that reforms can best be
achieved from within rather than
from without. He does not approve
of the professional" reformer" or. as
he might have said, the chronic kick
er, nor of the constant attitude OF fault
finding, but declares, what every intel
ligent citizen knows. that the man
who attends the primaries of hisfpar-

Would once have seemed grave int

But what spinster maid would scorn

At sweet and twenty.
With chances plenty.

That's but pretense.

Salary Too Meager to

Lieutenant Lindsay, Who C0n1-
miffed Suicide, W0uid Not
Ask Rich Girl to Be Wife

The pathos surrounding the suicide
OF Lieutenant David T. Lindsay was
made all the keener when it was
learned yesterday that the girl whom
he wanted to marry. but was prevent
ed from doing so on account of his
meager salary. was society belle in
sausaIito. we'll known on both sides of
the bay.
The young officer and the girl had
loved each other for some time. but
between them and their happiness was
the ever present question of cash She
was social pet. accustomed to all OF
the thousand and one expensive little
things of her type. He was but lieu
tenant in the army. She rode in an
automobile. He marched beside his
men. Her station in life was pro-
claimed by her jewels and precious
stones. His by the scantily decorated
shoulder straps. And. greater than
their financial differences, was his
sense of manhood which forbade him
asking her to share his hard life
He had made one short plunge into
society on first coming to the Presidio,
but soon crept back to the loneliness
of his quarters, his spare money going
toward the maintenance OF mother
and sisters in Philadelphia At his
death they received an insurance en-
dowment OF $1,000.
The money. however. which went for
their keep barred him from the society
of the girl he loved and in the bitter
ness OF his lot he locked the doors OF
his quarters and. with a borrowed re-
volyer. blew out his brains.
