ARE WE A NATION OF EXAGGER.
AT0RS.

The charge is made that as pe0-
pie the Americans are too much in
clined to sensationalism, eXaggera-
ton, the use of hyperbole. Adjectives
enough have not been created to meet
the American demand, and those ia
the dictionary are daily overworked
Cottages are mansions, mansions are
palatial. all women are queens and
beautiful, all men are chivalrous and
handsome. The average man and wo-
man in this country, if our critics are
oorrect-and there is much foundation
tor their accusations lost all
sense of perspective The tendency to
deceive by exaggeration has grown in
10 a national vice that needs checking,
either by satire or some other equally
as effective means. Truth has a hard
time of it through the unintentional
untruthfulness of the ordinary human
being in this country. AS one man
says The superlative is the season
ing of our information, and without +
our daily fare would be insipid. This
is one of our great national defects. .
1t is the possession of this defect in a
superabundant degree, apparently,
that constitutes decided element OF
strength in the makeup of Roosevelt

love of exaggeration and sensational

breasts.

Historians will be divided in their
views as to whether it was Taft or
Roosevelt that wrecked the Republi-
can party. AS a matter of fact it was
simply its own inherent rottenness
Taft and Roosevelt were merely in

ious finale to party whose death
cry should have been sounded years
ago.

Trembling on the verge, she waits

This, accord ing to MT.
