OUR LACK OF PATRIOTISM.
Remain in Place Long Enough to b
Attached to Il.

From the New York Evening Sun.
(; With moving day coming ca in spite
OF the chill welcome, it invariably re-
ceives from every one, these few seri-
,ous words are in order. Americans
have been accused Of not being patriot
&c. They have in almost the same breath
lbeen excused, explained and admon-
ished. The explanation was this:
Americans are not patriotic because q
minority Of them possess parents who
had early associations in this country.
There is no sense Of having roots. Of
being of the soil, of standing on the
spot where ones forefather stood. One
cannot love an entire huge country.
When one says the name OF ones
native land 1t must mean to each per-
ison q certain intimately known local.
ity, with house where one was born.
reared and heard of the births of ones
;people. All this is impossible in Amer
lea. because every one moves every
year, which upsets associations, attach
ments and prevents any feeling but
that Of feverish participation In an
ever changing Kaleidoscope. The
thought may arouse our enthusiasms,
:or 1t may be that 1t only raises our
voices N speaking of 1t, and this Is be-
cause we could not make ourselves
heard in any other way: but we do not
possess that ingrained, pig headed
,adoration for our country which Is so
valuable a possession for the country.
Now, ladies and householders, IL this
lack Of warm hearted patriotism can
be stopped by the simple expedient Of
iyour not moving, can you not manage
ito control yourselves during this COM
ling month, and In the splendid cause
tof engendering love Of country rest
icontent in your secluded little flats?
1T 10 the call of your nation. Respond

The Star Salesman.


II were asked to define salesman
ship, I would say: 1T is simply MAX
ing the other fellow feel as you do
about what you have to SELL" That Is
about all there is to 1t. You go into
mans office with something to sell.
You feel that this man ought to pos
yess, through purchase from you, this
thing that you have to sell. But the
man you have called to see, who sits
with an air of cool defiance behind the
breatworks of his desk, Is in direct
ly opposite state of mind. He feels
that he ought not to possess, through
purchase from you, the thing you have
to sell. Now the only possible way
you can make the sale Is to make the
mans mind come around into agree
ment with your mind. 1t Is not even
a case where you can meet your OPP
oonent half way; you can not make
even a small compromise and still make
a SALE You have got to sell him COM
pletely or you don't sell him at all:
you must pull him full $50 degrees
around the circle. When you have
made him feel just as sincerely as you
yourself feel that he should buy what
you have to sell, then he will buy.
Show me a star salesman. man who
Is a business builder, as well as bust
ness-getter-and / will show you q
man of strong character and attractive
personality. The foregoing sentence
contains the suggestion of what the
training for salesmanship should be.
1t sounds the success keynote. What
should be the salesmans equipment?
We are salesmanagers now selecting
men. What are going to require OF those
we choose? Have my way and there
would be ten requisites which we
should use as standard for measur-
ing our candidates. And the first OF
these requisites Is health.
A salesman must be in good physi-
cal condition all the time. Just like a
racehorse, he must be ready to go
when the bell rings. There was a time
not many years ago when most sales
men injured their health with too much
drinking and smoking and eating. But
there Is not so much Of this nowadays;
good statesmen have come to do most
Of their work in the salesroom instead
Of in the bar-rooms. The temptations
for a salesman to drink too much,
smoke too much, and eat too much are
many and 1t Is only by constant Wig
lance that he can resist such temp
tations. His health depends on his
power to resist, and in the long run
his success depends upon his health.

A Wave of Reform.

A kind old man who was crossing a
bridge was shocked to see a tough little
boy sitting on the rail and chewing the
stub OF a cigar. He said to the boy: Son
ny, 1t grieves me to see one so young in
dulging In such degrading habit. Drop
the nasty thing into the water, and prom
Use me you won't smoke another one, and
I'll give sou dime"
So the boy dropped the stub, and prom
ised. "And now said X. o. G., beam.
ing through his glasses and handing over
the coin, tell me what nice things you
can buy for 10 cents"
"A package NV cig'rets," said the T. L.
b.. as he ran away.
Next day when the kindly old gent
crossed the bridge, there were 10 tough
little boys sitting on the rail, all smoking
cigar stubs.

Dan Daley. Of New York. left yester-
day morning after securing q provisional
option on the property. AZ the Willard,
Just before he departed, ne said that pros
poets are bright and he would return
next week to either close the deal or
hunt for another piece Of property just
as desirable.
The idea is to build a big open air
hyppodrome, following the German Idea, -
said Nj Daley. The theater Will be
built SO it can be inclosed in glass in the
winter and equipped with heating plant.
I'VE have such a theater in Berlin,
and II has proved an enormous success
Il will not be on the roof garden plan,
but will be an orthodox theater, save
that il viii have a capacity Of several
times larger than ordinary shOwhOuses.
Whether Washington people will sup
port the project. remains TO be seen. but
We believe they will, and the artists will
welcome It."
Mr.. Daley refused 10 say who was be-
hind the proposition, but he declared Il
was a syndicate Of New Workers, and

DISCLOsEs PACKERS SECRETS
DIR. Repp Would Purchase Meat Out
side of the District.

Or. J. T. Repp, OF the Bureau OF Ami
nal Industry. in his testimony before the
Moore investigating committee yester-
day, advocated that contracts for meat
for the District penal institutions be
awarded TO outside firms
The inspector urged this course because
his department does not examine meat
furnished the District under contract. He
followed up this statement by giving the
committee some interesting information
regarding the practice Of packers in cur
ing hams
As a result Of this information, the
committee may incorporate in the bill
it will report a clause regulating the
handling Of cured" meats as well as
the storage of fresh products.
while the proper length Of time for
curing a ham is from sixty 20 ninety
DAYS. packers remove hams from the
brine before sixty days. or either allow
them TO remain there FOR 90 days. as
the market price demands said DR..
Repp. Right now packers are taking
hams out Of pickle before they are cured
and smoking them and sending them out
before the high prices drop"
He concluded by telling the probers
that fresh meat should not be kept IN
storage for more than six months If the
public health IS to be insured and pro
tected.
