PARK APPROPRIATION

Mayor Smith is still engaged in
scrutinizing the expenditures of the
city with view of ascertaining II
there is anything that can be deducted
this year, as a measure of economy.
He has decided to recommend reduc-

year we must economic in everything

Magician's Amazing Trick.

The enigmatic cube, described in
the December Popular Mechanics,
certainly must be numbered among
the most mystifying tricks of the
rragician's art.
The enigmatic cube is first a l.
inch cube which the magician pro-
duces from the air, and it is then
seen 10 grow while in his hand to a
Pinch, a 4-inch and a 9-inch cube.
This he sets in full view upon his
table, where it is seen to grow slowly
to the size of 8 feet inches. The
cube is then lifted and from under it
steps a woman who starts to run to-
ward the front of the stage. The
magician snaps his fingers, she in
stantly stops, disappears in a sheet
of fame in full view of the audi
ence, and in her place is seen gil
gantic bouquet of real roses, which
are plucked and distributed to the
audience. The article is illustrated.

the four minor candidates, or, rather.
tive, IL we count the Socialist Labor. /
am not at all certain that Debs will
not head the list in the number Of
votes polled. Mark Hanna while alive
expressed the fear that the Socialists
would be the big opposition party in
1912, and Grover Cleveland not long
before his death predicted that they
would poll over a million votes this
year. From 1900 to 1904 they climbed
up from 10000 to over 100000, and
Debs was the candidate both times. In
1908, with Debs still the candidate, a
like percentage Of increase would put
them well toward 100000, while
merely an equal numerical increase
would give them three-quarters Of
a million. Debs In his "red special
across the continent has had enormous
crowds. Looked at from any possible
viewpoint, the movement Is beginning
to loom large.

his former union officers were helping
him. He exerted the same spell on me
that he does on all the rest that meet
him. Nobody can dislike Debs person
ally. He is one Of those sweet and
kindly men that one could no more
hate than he could hate his mother.
Debs is a dreamer who always keeps
ardent and young in his nature. He
has q heart so big that everybody sees
1T feels it and responds to 1t. The
word love is much misused, and yet 1t
is the greatest word In the world. II

describing Debs. He actually loves

not the slightest affectation about it.

IN one respect human nature Is like

Still others are transparent, but so
shallow that there Is little to see. And
vet Others are clear and deep, calm,

Our Duty Toward the Newspapers.
In the first place, we can demand
that the newspapers give facts rather
than sensations. This is part of our
public duty. Each one of us is given
a share. in governing the country, be-
cause it is supposed that he will take
an intelligent interest in facts which
affect its management. If he reads
his newspaper primarily for the sake
of murders and prize fights, and only
looks at the columns of public news
when they are made as much like re-
ports of murders and prize fights as
possible, he fails to do his duty as
citizen. Here is an opportunity for
young men to make the standards
of the next generation better than
those of the last.-President Hadley
of Yale, in The Youths Companion.

come into touch with him at one other
time. The first personal contact with
/, hfm was In 1895. He was then a Pop
SuIist and along with nearly all the
rest Of the party was supporting Bry-
an. 1t was my province to bill him as
speaker, and remember the good re-
ports that came from his meetings.
Debs was already a national character
at that time, having carried on his
Pullman strike In 1894 and served a
Jail sentence for his pains. He Is one
Of the few men on whom a term In
prison left not the slightest hint Of
stain on either his character or repu-
tation. He went through the fire with
ont an eyebrow being singed. The
only reference that has ever been
made to Debs' jail sentence Is. that his
supporters have used It as a campaign
issue and have tried to make martyr
OF him. But Debs is not martyr, at
least not yet. What he may be some
day time and the battle between capi-
tai and labor alone can determine.
Lincoln Steffens says that he may be
hanged before he Is done with the
game and that Debs rather than half
expects that fate himself. The Social
list leaders own hero Is John Brown.
But, with all due respect TO both Stef-
fens and Debs, there Is not the slight
est danger Of any such outcome. We
do not hang men for their opinions In
this day. We may ignore them or
laugh at them or even stop them from
speaking on the street corners, but
hanging Is too coarse and common. IT
Is fussy and out Of date. When Stef-,
fens wrote that item he was trying to

The Woman Who Lets Man Own
His Soul lis Blessed,

His Soul lis Blessed.
The woman who understands the
are of letting man alone is wise
woman, says Annie Rittenhouse in
The Designer for December. She
treats him as rational being, with
equal rights to work out his own
ideas as she has. II she thinks he is
wrong, she persuades him into an
other way with more subtle art than
many kings use in coercing prime
minister.
II he wishes to walk alone in the
afternoon or evening, hammering
out some scheme in his own mind, or
refreshing himself by solitude, apart
from things that make him think,
she is acquiescent. And, mind you,
she does not acquiesce modify, with
a question, spoken or unspoken, as
to what she has done that he does
not care for her company. She
cheerfully mods her perfect under
standing of his wishes and desires.
She, too, often wants to be alone,
although. she may love this man
more than all the other things in the
world combined, and he has always
letsher be when the mood was upon
her.
To sum it all up in a phrase that
Americans understand: she treats
him as though she were another
man. There are moments for love,
emotion and sentiment. but she un-
derstands that there are thousands
of other moments when two humans,
who must be together most of the
time, must treat each other as if
they were of the same sex
This is the lesson a young wife
must learn. 1t is an art to let a man
alone, for it is achieved only through
perception, intuition and careful,
hourly study. There is no royal
road to it. Some women are born
with more or less of a temperamental
leaning toward this attitude, but
even these women must practice
with patience and analysis.
And the women who do this have
their reward. They will catch the
best husbands and keep them
throughout decades. Men mourn
their absence from the hearth and
home more than they mourn for any
beauty, brilliance or cookery. They
are the women who understand.

cure themselves of being children.
This process is called growing up''

who have grown up and forgotten,
there comes necessarily a time when,
to achieve reality, they must become

who do not understand this second

he would, for he had no money with
which to buy and no places with
which to lure. 1t was his own mag
netism, intelligence and mastery that
enabled him to lead his people, even
away from the political affiliations Of
lifetime. @N
Debs did not go direct to the Social
lists, however. Herein was shown his
generalship. He Americanized the
movement, forming a body Of his own
that he called the Social Democracy.
There is q Social Democracy in Ger
many, but Debs borrowed little from
it except the name. His own idea was
to graft Karl Marx socialism on to the
stem of American individualism. Most
people would pronounce this an impos-
sible task. AS to whether or not Debs
succeeded, even In part, each student
will have to decide for himself. It Is
somewhat significant that he soon
dropped the name Social Democrat
and is now plain Socialist. Nor was
the change one Of name alone. Mr..
Debs IN these days is preaching
straight socialism. In the beginning
his flag was red, white and blue Now
it is only red.
Big Hearted Man.
It was shortly after he had meta
morphosed the American Railway un-
lon into the Social Democracy that /
met Debs the first time. He was run
ming a little weekly paper in Chicago,
