THE VICE PRESIDENCY.
History Has Shown the importance Of
the Position.

The vice presidency OF the United
States Is a post OF high honor and dis
tInction. and yet among men in public
life there is a feeling that the widely
known man who consents to accept the
Office is abandoning opportunities OF
greater preferment. He Is said to be
making a sacrifice. He Is often pitied
and oftener ridicuied for permitting
himself to be laid on the shelf" He
is spoken OF as a dummy"
He is regarded as one who has lost
his place ia the world OF affairs. All
this is n~onsensical. declares the Chris
tlan Science Monitor. 1t may be true
the office OF vice president Is often
dwarfed by the office OF president II
the viewpoint be entirely political; but.
standing upon its own base. the vice
presidency Is no empty honor and no
sinecure. Ii is something to be pre-
siding officer OF the United States SEN
ate. The history OF the country, more
over. has demonstrated 1t to be some
thing OF great Importance 10 be next
in line to the presidency.

WHEN TO REMOVE HAT.

vvhs, Does Etiquetse Require OF Man
In Elevator In Which Women Rider
Is the conduct Of the male person
fails to remove his hat when rh-
kg in an elevator in company WIN
women compatible with the appropriate
behavior Of a real gentleman. or IS Il
an act of such discourtesy as betokens
and BELTS the boor?
of course the answer Is that the
propriety or improperly of the con
duct i'm question depends upon the ma
ture OF the relation into which the
male person Is temporarily brought to-
ward his fellow passengers. III the re-
lation involves any feeling of a friend
IL or social kind. II ii communicates
n suggestion OF privacy. the well
bred man will instinctively bare his
head.
For this reason he will do so In the
elevator of an apartment house or Il
hotel. and by the same token he will
not do so in the elevator of an ONCE
building or a railway station. II may
be thought that the distinction Is a
fine one. but il is clearly based on
reason and on right. Although In a
certain sense and to a certain extent
a hotel is a public place. inasmuch as
my one may enter It. 1t Is home to
those who for the time being. or u
may be permanently. are living there
and the persons who use its elevators
are not. strictly speaking. strangers to
each other.
But why should he remove his hat In
the elevator Of an office building OF
railway station. where tie publicity Is
as absolute as the publicity Of the
street, There is nc good reason.
Some people want TO be so polite thai
they overdo It. and the excess Of civil
ity born Of affectation is almost as
Objectionable as the rudeneSs whict
results from ignorance. Consideration
for the rights and feelings of other'
is the secret Of good manners.-Phila
delphia Inquirer.
