Psychology of Fault Finding.
From the Columbus Journal.

From the Columbus Journal
The other day a man was talking in q
hotel lobby. and he found fault with
everybody and everything. He seemed to
have an utter contempt for President
Taft, Gov. Harmon, Mayor Marshall, for
the preachers, the officials, the schools,
the business men and everything under
the sun. except himself In one sense it
was sort of refreshing, since it was posi-
BILE for an open-minded man to hold to
more generous views Of these objects OF
nounces everybody it rather lessons ones
objections to anybody. We are quite
certain the impression this man made
was the very opposite of what he in
tended, and that those who listened were
much fonder of Taft, Harmon. Marshall
and the others when he got through.
We want to use this incident for little
psychological diversion. A boy will re-
gard stone with respect to It's fitness
will look upon it as being useful for
building purposes: geologist will imme-
diately think Of its location in the growth
of the earth. Thus the state of mind
projects the idea that surrounds an OBJ
ject. One sees what occupies the con-
sciousness. One is always seeing himself
in what he sees. And then, by a sort of
law of vision. which we have not time
to analyze. what one sees In other objects
fore 1t Is only good discretion that one
should set reasonable bounds to his fault
finding: for when this is universal 1t
lacks sincerity, which naturally leads
others to suspect that where the fault
finding is universal and persistent 1t is
almost conclusive evidence of malevo-
lent inner consciousness.

Inauguration Date Reform.

Light begins to break at last in the
murky skies that have SO long overhung
the presidential Inauguration. In all the
years of effort to secure a change Of the
date from the dangerous early days Of
March to the more clement close of
April the unwillingness of the House Of
Representatives TO amend the Constitu-
ton to this end has proved an insupera able
obstacle. The Senate has more than once
placed itself on record as favoring a
change, but all arguments to persuade
the House committees to follow suit have
been unavailing. Now at length the
House committee on the judiciary has IA
vorahly reported the joint resolution
which proposes an amendment to the
Constitution changing the date of inaugu-
ration from the 18th of March to the last
Thursday of April
This is the most satisfactory solution of
the problem. 1t accomplishes two OBJ
jects. a postponement of the Inauguration
from the Indictment March season to the
certainly mild and probably clear days
of late April, and it furthermore avoids
the troublesome coincidence of Inaugural
lion day and Sunday, which in the past
has caused great Inconvenience and in
~ threatened a possible political catas-
.uphe.
1t is gratifying to note that not only
mas the House committee acted favorably.
but that disposition prevails to pusl,
the joint resolution vigorously to a vote.
This is q non-poiitical question. 1t is In
the interest Of all factions and all classes
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-01-12

of people that the change should be
made. Last March the public men were
exposed to the rigors of the storm to
degree that clinched beyond question the
argument for a postponement of the
great national ceremony to more Glenn
ent season. If Congress had been then
organized for the transaction OF general
business the joint resolution would doubt
less have been passed immediately. 1t
was then hoped that the sentiment for a
change evoked by the terrible experience
suffered would prevail long enough to
effect the reform at this present session,
and yesterdays action by the Judiciary
committee, setting a high mark In the
records of the change-of-date enterprise,
indicates that this hope was not In vain
Approval of the resolution by the House
will probably be followed promptly by
concurrent action at the other end of the
Capitol, where the verdict in favor OF this
reform has already been given. The
joint resolution will then serve as q sub
mission of the amendment to the legisla-
lures of the states. If this is done
promptly ratification by the necessary
three-fourths is possible in season to put
the change into effect for the Inaugural
ton of 1913. This winter the legislatures

Of the present session ratification during
the winter Of 1911 Is possible. A total of
thirty-six states must vote for it, In
addition to the thirty-four biennial legis-
latures scheduled for 1911 are those of
Georgia, Massachusetts,, New Jersey,
New York and South Carolina, which
meet annually. Judging from the in
dorsements of the change-of-date PROPOSE
ton that have been given by officials and
citizens of the states, there is little doubt
that the submission of the amendment
by a vote taken at the present session of
Congress will effect the necessary change
in ample season for the next Inaugural

A Sane Fourth.
From the Philadelphia Press.

FT0m the Ph1IadeIphla PrcsS.
Though the Fourth Of July is still half
a year off it is not too early to begin the
movement for a sane Fourth. A public
opinion that will support and insist upon
q sane Fourth has to be awakened. A
substitute for the old noisy Fourth must
be found. Legislation must be secured
that shall make the dangerous explosive
celebrations unsafe, not merely to the
victims, but to those who provide the ex-
plosives. The sane Fourth must also
have the support of the law. Several
cities have abolished the old Fourth. and
nobody grieves for 1t. They have pro-
vided a new form of celebration, with
pageants and parades and observances.

More true enjoyment is found in this than
was possible with cannOncracker and toy

Coupon Cutting.
From the Baltimore American.

FTOm the baltimore American.
In these after-the-holidays days the
principal occupation of those upon whose
hands time otherwise hangs heavy is the
clipping of coupons. A time-honored
adage for this game Is first get your
securities and then proceed to prune
them. The first part Of the process is OF
a varied nature. Some inherit securities
others coin securities out of the profits
of industry. while still others have Sc.
curities thrust Upon them. If one does
not belong to either Of these classes he
can at least read Of the muicting of the
holders Of securities by one and another
legal process and give thanks that he
does not have to make forced contrib,l.
tions of this nature. If one has the Sc.
curities, he needs only a pair of shears
AMI the fortitude to enact the drama tina,
brings his securities ever closer to the
point of maturity. At this time of the
year investments look up, for the semi
annual dividends call for further invest.
ment. and, perhaps, the acquisition OF
more securities.

Absenteeism in Congress.

The ARRANGEMENT announced as to pairs
On the House Is the best thing that, sc
far, has come out of the turmoil there
d strikes at an evil which has too long
existed, and If a permanent cure is eff
tected the country will benefit.
The legislator given to 'loaf1ng on his
job is familiar figure. He Is in and
out of Washington as suits his con-
venience. He puts his own affairs first
Uncle Sam gets that portion of his time
not demanded by his private interests.
Business first, legislating afterward. A
case in court at home, or the closing of a
financial transaction. or the mending OF
political fences, takes him out of town at
a running jump, and he returns at his
leisure.
A large party majority encourages this
spirit. A member with journey In view
assures himself that he will not be
missed. and off he goes. He does not
stop to think that twenty other members
on his side may be at that very time de-
Gliding upon that same course and that
all Of them may be needed in their seats
any day.
The regular republicans, so-called, were
taught mapping in this Ballinger- Pinchot
matter. Had they mustered in force the
House organization would not have been
defeated. Absenteeism and easy pairing
did the business.
The majority cannot draw the line too
tightly. War is on. and will last through
the session. 1t is for the republicans to
have their men on hand at every roll call.
Now is the appointed time. and Washing
ton the place of salvation. Law practices
should be suspended. Business deals
should be left to business partners. And
political fences may be best kept in order
10y faithful discharge of official duties
at the seat of government. The repub-
licans are responsible for legislation, and
this town is the place for legislators while
Congress is in session.
The two houses could not do better by
themselves or the country than by q
daily publication, In the Record or other
wise, of the list of absentees, with the
reasons given for the leaves granted. This
would show the exact situation-who were
on deck. and who not. No member in
such circumstances would offer a light
reason for leave, or ask for leave too
often. The standing of members, both
here and at home, would be affected by
the few or the many times their names
appeared in the list OF absentees. Par
4icularly would members with strong RI
walls at home have a care about arming
them with q charge of q neglect Of duty.
No other charge is quite so Injurious In
a contest for a nomination, or, later, in
the contest for election.

Among Girls.

They talk all at once with great ardor,
And nobody listens at all:
They start in and talk all the harder
When any one else comes to call
There's never a thought or suggestion
In this conversational chime,
And yet they have had, beyond question,
A perfectly lovely time!
They make up a theater party,
And gaze on the heroine's grief.
Their sympathies. wholesome and hearty,
In copious tears find relief.
And after the villain. unsparing,
Has slaughtered young hopes in their
prime,
They've had. you will hear them declaring,
A perfectly lovely time!

A Boom in Making.

The public is too much occupied with
other things to give attention to the dis
closures in the case Of the Chanler presi-
Dental boom, which was begun and soon
done for couple of years ago. 1t is a
| story of push and pull, of humor, and
even Of pathos-such a story as our poll
tics yields, and our people. when they
have the time. thoroughly enjoy.
A Mr.. Chanler, those who cudgel their
brains can remember. was elected lieu
tenant governor Of New Fork on a ticket
headed by William r. Hearst. Mr.. Hearst
failed to score, but Mr.. Chanler got in.
Presently a Chanler presidential boom
appeared, and the country took notice
Here was the Moses-youthful and I'M
damaged by the bullrushes-who was to
lead the national democracy out Of the
slough OF defeat. Fall in, everybody
The long sought and wished for had been
found.
The call sounded like the voice Of the
people. Alas, it was but the voice of
the professional boomer! Just one man,
claiming to have turned the trick before.
| was calling to Mr.. Chanler-fer a con-
sideration-to come out and save the
country. Puffs and pictures followed.
Chanler became the cry.
Judge Parker, who had led the democ-
racy in 1904, had inaugurated his cam
paign for the nomination by a visit to
Georgia. An invitation had been secured
journey made, and an address deliv-
cred. Thus the beginning of the Parker
boom.
An invitation for Mr.. Chanler to visit
Georgia was secured. and he made a
journey there and delivered an address,.
He Travelled in modest fashion, SO as to
impress the plain people. and made
friends on the way, while there. and
back. But somehow the plan failed.
The south did not respond. Not even
Georgia did. The boom reached home
again in safety, but languished, and
never go: another airing.
Details Of the venture are the fruit of
a lawsuit brought to collect money
claimed to be due those who assisted in
the launching Of the boom. They incite
| to smiles, and yet Mr.. Chanler was not
| the first man to yield to such blandish-
ments. Nor will he be the last. Young,
| rich, successful in his first campaign,
ambitious, and loving his party and
aware Of it's distresses, he naturally gave
ear to those who fancied him a Moses.
and insisted on putting the staff Of lead
ership and travel into his hand And
he may be comforted by the thought that
| those who refused to follow him made
a mistake In the Moses they did follow,
and could not now be worse off IL they
had accepted him in the role.
Dust thou art, to dust returned, has
often been spoken of presidential booms,
and the Chanler boom will not be the
last to hear it.

Pogonip in Pittsburg.

If the warnings Of Mr.. Henry Penny
witt. the official forecaster of the weather
at Pittsburg. are needed. the residents of
that town will soon be going about their
usual course of life wearing cute little
aprons Of cheesecloth over their noses
and mouths. as a means of precaution
against 'pogonip." 1t does not yet ap-
pear whether pogonip is peculiar to Pitts
burg. Mr.. Pennywitt says the word is
an Indian name meaning white death"
but 1t does not signify the conventional
tuberculosis of the lungs to which that
phrase is applied 1t is a particularly
fatal form of pneumonia caused by
the Inhalation of cold fog. which has
frozen into minute particles Of ice that
are known as "spicula.' 1t appears that
the Pittsburg air at this season of the
perature. and pogonip is prevalent just
at present to an unusual degree. The
cheesecioth filters are designed to arrest
the spicula before lodging in the lungs
and setting up Inflammation.
Carelessness in breathing is undoubt-
eddy the cause of much pulmonary trou-
BILE. Few people consistently breathe
through the nose. which is natures pro-
vision for letting air into the lungs.
Many people catch cold and wonder why
they have done so, forgetting that they
have been pumping cold air into the deli
cate tissues of the lungs and shocking
them. The direct inhalation through the
mouth also is dangerous because it tends
to deposit in the tissues the dust for the
checking of which the nostrils are
equipped. The interposing of fine
screen over the mouth or nostrils will
probably be helpful to the people OF
Pittsburg, regardless of the menace Of
pogonip. The Pittsburg air Is never good
at best, laden as it is with dust and
smoke particles.
