Scores Observation-Disclosures

To the Elitor of the Evening Star:
In an address last week President
Bryan, of Colgate University, upheld
narroW-mindedness and deplored the
prevailing tendency to view things in
a broad-minded way. OF course there
may have been some subtle logic UNI
deriving the argument of President
Bryan, but if there was it was so
cleverly concealed that the ordinary
mind could not see it.
The SMILES that the speaker used to
illustrate his points do not strike one
as being altogether appropriate, and
the ordinary layman searches the
speech in vain to find any convincing
reasons for adopting the narroW-mind-
cd view that the speaker recommended.
1t seemed to be the purpose Of the
visitor to impress the audience with
the value of going through life with
some definite end in view and his on
tention was that this purpose could
best be accomplished if u person would
stick to a narrow path and did not

LEGISLATIVE CORRUPTION WILL OUT.

eTa HE whole country has been shocked by the Aids trial by the
Senate at Albany, the insurance investigation now going on
in New York. the astonishing disclosures of Legislative and
official corruption at Pitsburg and the purchase of votes in the
Mississippi LEGISLATURE. In all of these and other cases not here
enumerated The sin is in being found out, and until they were found
out the men who took brides believed they We're secure from detec
ton. In each case some incident occurred to bring about the general
exposure. The man who takes a bride is never safe from detection
Until exposure came the aspect OF affairs at Albany and Pittsburg
was the same as that at Trenton ordinarily. There were we'll
grounded suspicious, but there were no charges and nothing tangible
10 base charges upon. The traffic in legislative votes went Oh quietly
and without public notice. But how thoroughly this corruption has
been dragged into the light by Investigation. Senator Aids was an
expert in bribery. He knew and prachsed all the tricks of conceal
ment. but his transactions were followed in all their intricaces, and
ne was condemned, cast out and ruined. In the last three days of
the legislative session at Trenton the example of Aids, as well as
If the Pittsburg cOuncilmen, should not be lost sight of.

permit ones viewpoint to become too
extended.
This goins through life with one eye
shut may have worked 1000 years ago,
but ii seems hardly safe in the TWEEN
tieth century. Allowing for the pre-
text of originality and admitting that
novelty in argument is the custom of
the day, it is still unsafe to attach too
much Importance to the remarks Of
any advocate of narrow-mindedness
and the apostle of any such creed can
hardly be regarded as the kind of
leader that the people of today would
care to follow.
The great trouble in many quarters
is not that people are too broad-minded,
but that they take a too narrow view
of life and the conditions associated
with it. We do not have to go outside
of Newark to find this u and what
We need here are not advocates of the
small-bore. narrow-gage theory, but
opponents of liberal thought tempered
with some degree of reason.
The policy recommended by Presi-
dent Bryan was the prevailing custom
of the dark ages, and if hat era is to
be regarded as ideal from any point of
view then the majority Of people here
abouts with be content to go through
the world without enjoying the beau
ties of life as they existed in that en-
hghtened period when men We're put

Kindly give the old veterans of the

getting ar increase in our pension. It
would probably influence some of the

Rear car for smokers; smoking car

out by the Satemen at the Pennsylva-
nit station as trains bound for Jersey
City pull into the Market street sta
ton. And then comes q rush for the
rear car by the smokers. lust about
the time they get comfortably seated a
brakeman will come along and either
inform them thai the smoker is the ear

This thing happens dozens of times

complaints are made by patrons it

Albany, 1t was a matter Of congratula-
ton that New Jersey would be spared
the humiliation of any such discovery,
but. according to reports from Trenton,
though no one certain act is specified,
New jersey has some dirty linen to

11Ta HE bland Mr.. Fairbanks appears TO have prepared III Rome the
first pitfall for Roosevelt in his journey through Europe. Mr..
Fairbanks. when he went abroad. took with him the local
atmosphere of his Indiana town and lived in it wherever he went.
He extensively advertised his peculiar religious views in Indiana.
and when he reached the seat of the papacy he advertised them
there, and without any regard 10 Roman social prophecies. The
parochiaI example he set evidently taught caution and some dis
trust as to what Roosevelt would do in Rome. The wide difference
between the two men is better known in America than in Rome
otherwise. probably, there would have been no hitch in the program
of reception of Roosevelt in that city. and no embarrassing incident
would have married his visit. \ narrow, tactless man like Fair
banks can do a deal of harm by his compacent egotism.
