The literary style OF men OF action
when these men have style OF their
own, probably owes its excellence
largely to the lack OF that self-con,
seriousness. maintains The Dial, that
painful striving for effect, which mars
the utterances Of men of letters. The
mere writer" says the London Specta-
tor in late instructive article. who
must, like a silkworm, spin out his
precious material from inside him.
can hardly hope to rival the man OF
genius whose imagination has been
quickened and whose tongue has been
loosened by what Burke calls the 'ov.
ermastering necessities of events"
The men who make writing profess
sion are commonly the men who do
not do things to write about. as
Walter Bagehot used to complain:
and, he might have added, the men
who do things are usually too modest
to write about them.

David A. DeArmond.

One of the safest leaders of the
Missouri Democracy is Congress
man David A. DeArmond of But
Ter. Statements from him have
recently appeared in the news
papers in response to questions
propOunded to him on the sub
jects of tariff reform and a con
ference of Democrats.
The advice of Congressman
DeArmond has been sound and
sensible in each Instance. The
Bates county man is thoroughly
grounded in principles of the JEFF
fersonian school Of Democracy.
He has always been conservative
and never has wavered.
Judge DeArmond is a scholar
OF high attainmentS and a deep
student Of political economy. He
is a power on the stump and al
ways ready for party service.
Judge DeArmond has been
mentioned as a possible candidate
for governor in 1912 on which all
Factions could unite with assur-
ances of success to the state De
moeracy. Tie has given no intima-
ton of such ambition. The charge
would be a financial sacrifice fol
Judge DeArmond without add
itional compensating honors. j
Champ Clark should be the next
speaker Of the house, DeArmonC
would likely be the house leader
an honor much sought at Wash.
ington.
BY selecting a man of the De.
Almond calibre there would be
little likelihood of party opposi
ton in the primary. Thus the
PARTY would be united for the e
lection and a united Democracy

NOTES ABOUT
 THE FIGHTERS

Special from United Press,

Especial from United Press)
 New York, April 12.-Jack Johnson, the negro champion, and Stanley Ketchell, middleweight champion, will likely be matched to-day to fight 45 rounds at Colma, Cal, on October Il or 13 Jib -Coffroth. the California fight promoter made this announce nent early to-day.
 Coffroth had long interview with Johnson last night and practically se- cured the negro's consent to meet fight promoter had a talk with jim Jeffries and asked the retired cham pioh point-blank when he would give an answer whether he intended fight ing or not. 1T will not be ready to give my answer for two or three months g was the reply Jeffries is said to have made. Coffroth asked how long after he consented to fight it would take him 10 get into condition and Jeff replied eight months. sa
 Bradford, R. l., April 12-The big scout cruisers Salem, Chester and Bir- mingham cleared the local harbor at 9 o'clock this morning for their A hour run at top speed to the Cape Charles Island lightship and then back to New York and on their return it is declared by all concerned that a new speed rec ord for the American navy will have been hung up. Each cruiser has l. 200 tons of selected coal in her bunk CTS and 300 tons of filtered water in her tanks. The rivalry between the crews is intense and the winning crew will have plenty of money to spend when New York is reached as officers and men alike have wagered all of their savings and mortgaged their pay to get money to place on their own ships.
 Chicago, April 12.-Owen Moran, the English fighter, after holding out for some time, has finally agreed to fight weight which caused the hitch in the match has been agreed upon. Harry Gilmore, Jr., manager for Mcfarland, received a telegrahm from New York ing to agree to a weight of 133 pounds at 8 o'clock.
 San Francisco. April 12-Just seven more days of racing in Canifornia and this may be the last time the racing game will be seen here under the pres ent conditions. The new anti-racing law goes into effect a week from to- lay idle including the Arcadia Plant at Los Angeles nearly s3,O00, GOO is rep resented which may be total loss.
 New York, April 12-"Philadelphia Jack' O'Brien wants to try some of the big fellows in a six round fight. O'Brier says he is willing to meet either Stanley Ketchell, who bested the Quaker City fighter in ten round bout in this city recently, or Jack Johnson the black champion.
 In the meantime the chief interest in the doings of the heavies is in the fight tomorrow night between Big Al'' Kaufman and Tony Ross. Kaufman is in good condition and while many expect him to win by the knockout, Ross is a stubborn fighter, heavy hitter and fighter willing to swap punches with his opponent.

 "sI'u just tap you on the shoulder every time you begin to snore.' he ex- plained. 'That'll stop you without waking you, and after a little I'll drop of myself.'
 'It worked like charm. I felt his taps for a time, but finally of went on a dream of $1O,OOO salary and 1t per cent commission.

There is a certain congressman who, whatever authority he may hold in the councils of state, Is of compara- lively minor importance in his own household. Indeed, it has been un- kindly intimated that his wife is "the whole thing" in their establishment. Representative and Mrs. Blank had been to Baltimore one afternoon. When they left the train at Washing ton on their return Mrs. Blank dis covered that her umbrella, which had been intrusted to the care of her hus- band, was missing.
 "where's my umbrella" she de- handed.
 'T'm afraid I've forgotten it, my dear" meekly answered the congress- man. 'sIt must still be in the train."
 "In the trainY' snorted the lady. "And to think that the affairs ot the nation are intrusted to man who doesn't know enough to take care of 8 woman's umbrellar'-Su Success.
