HOME AGAIN

A DISTINGUISHED American who
! IA left the home shores a year ago
"A for recreation after seven years OF
j toll in the hardest work that his coun-
| try asks of a citizen returns today TO
a truly wonderful acclaim. 1t is the
| elimax-and yet who can be sure it
really is the ClimaX?-of a train of
| homage to unique personality that
has no parallel in modern times.
| Ulysses S. Grant was another ex-pres-
dent who tasted the homage of foreign
peoples, but that was given because of
the nation he represented and his
achievements on the battlefield, not his
personality, which was singularly cold
and almost repellant
The American who returns today is
honored, abroad and at home, because
he is who and what he is as a man and
character, not forgetting, of course, the
Office he has filled. Nothing but that
caused the breaking of all precedents
by the rulers Of italy, Austria and Ger
many, who might have done far less
and met all requirements; nothing but
that won for him the dignitied honors
of university authority, and coinci-
dentally the boyish acclaim of the stu
dent bodies for Teddy"
The spontaneity of it all has been its
most pleasing phase. The grace and
decorum with which it has been re-
ceived has brought pride TO all fellow
countrymen. 1t is an amazing welcome
that awaits Theodore Roosevelt at New
York today. May his honors increase
his humility, not his pride; for in his
role Of leader with the largest per
sonal following in the world he bears
great responsibility to himself and that
following. He holds his unique dis
tinction because of what he typifies, a
protest against the reign of Mammon
and all his unrighteOusness. If ne ever
cease to represent that protest his fol-
lowing will melt away as a mist before
the summer sun.

Ever think of the power of Ihe
Newspaper Boys?" THE Newspaper
Boys'' are all those writer's on news
naners below the editor: the Washing
ton correspondents, the correspondents
in various important towns, the edl-
torial writer's, the paragraphers, the
reporters. etc. There are thousands OF
"The Newspaper Boys" and they can
make or break any public man. Ihe
editor of a paper cannot control tine
bovs'' on his paper, for they stand
in with the copy reader ana with
the managing editor.
A congressman may have no genius
but if he is able to gain the enthusi-
asm of the newspaper boys" he Will
soon become famous. The service rem
dered the congressman by the news

for "the newspaper boys VIII not ac-
cept money. Certain of the big cor
porations have invested many thou
sands of dollars in efforts to control
newspapers, by means of press agents
without getting anything of value IN
return. But the politician who under
stands the art of 1ollying the news
paper boys" gets columns and columns
of the very best stuff without the ex-
penditure of a penny.
We can name a hundred wood pulp
heroes who are the creatures of the

whatever. Advertisers are charged
very stiff rates, but the clever motor
iety seekers get the very best space
in the papers without paying anything.
Editors know this, and object to 1t,
but they are powerless. Editors do
not control their newspapers as abb
solutely as is imagined. 1t can't be
done. Besides, the editor is rarely the
cleverest man on a paper. Every time
an editor looks over his paper he
screams because some of "the boys"
have violated his policies. But he is
powerless; the offender is too good
man to discharge.
Some men have no ability in ham
ding "the newspaper boys" President
Taft is a conspicuous example. Taft
had a lot of free advertising when he
had Theodore Roosevelt as his press
agent, for the reason that Theodore
can attract more enthusiasm from the
newspaper boys" than any other man
on earth: but now that Theodore
has deserted Taft, Taft is pitiful ex-
ample of a noted man without the
support of "the newspaper boys"
A man who cannot handle 1.-The news
paper boys" should not engage in poll
itcs for "the newspaper boys" are in
control In every prominent publication
in this country And they are never
neutral, and whether they condemn or
applaud, they work without reward;
they can't be bought.

You'll understand and then forgive the

That fell just now upon your chubby hand
Some time. child-well, you will under

Some time, child, when you are older

You'll understand why daddy mused alone
In twilight hours. while you were at your
play
Why, iealously. he watched each truant
ray
or sun that came and searched your nurs-
cry place
To kiss your curs and glorify your face.
Some time. child, when little children bless
Your golden days my wanton selfishness
VIII then be plain, and then, child, you
will know
Why daddy used to importune you so
To leave your land of happy fairy lore
For his grim hand to romp with him
once more.
Some time. child! 'Tis written SO to be,
child will be as you are now to me;
And time will fly as ever time has flown
Since time began and time VIII claim It's

"HIGHBROW" FIREMEN

i IKE everything else of the kind,
civil service reform is a good
~ thing UP to a certain line, but
carried beyond that may become too
much of good thing" A case in point
was seen the other day in New York,
when Chief Croker of the fire depart
ment knelt and wept over the dead
bodies of two of his men. Then, turn
ing away from the bodies, he swore at
the system that made their death pos
sible.
THE civil service commission" he
said, us responsible for this. They
have given me hollow-chested, cigar
ette-smoking highbrows. L don't want
'em. Give me huskies. To - with
scholars as firemen!"
Chief Croker is known the country
over as one of the ablest, most efficient
fire department heads in the world.
His knowledge of that branch of mu-
nicipal activity is unquestioned. When
he says that regulations which are pre-
scribed for admission to service as fire
men have given him very generally
men whose chief qualifications were
their ability to pass written eXamina-
tions, he states a situation that GER
tainly calls for reform.
Fire and police departments, to be
efficient, honest and fair must be kept
out of politics; and doubtless the con-
ditions that Chief Croker describes
grew out of the attempt to devise a
system with a standard that would
bring about this result, but eXactions
that cause a process of selection such
as Chief Croker knelt and wept and
swore over have no place under the
