The SAFEST WAY.

Burn this letter." wrote James G..
Blaine many years ago TO a CORE
spondent to whom he had confided
certain Information which he did not
wish to have made public upon mat
tiers Of legislation at Washington. The
correspondent did not burn the letter,
and it turned up some years later as
contributing cause in Mr.. Blaine's
defeat as a candidate for the presi.
dency.
This interesting historical episode
is recalled because Of its present peril
hence to a certain distinguished poll,
tician and the :ctter-writing officials OF
the National Association of Manufac
turers. Blaine's advice was good, but
that of Quay to General Beaver when
candidate for governor-"Dear Bea
YER Don't write"-was better Don't
talk, either, if you wish absolute Sc
crecy. The dictagraph may catct
your words.
Apparently the only really safe piar
is not to have any secrets which yor
would not care to have laid bare before
the world.

CHANGING THEIR TUNE

ton" and a practical instrument Of
government regulation and control"
while wisely recommending that more
banking experiences be provided for
the federal reserve board. We may
even expect more unqualified ap-
proval from banker James G. Cannon
of New York, who last April urged a
plan which gave to presidential (po-
liticaD appointees exclusively such a
power to name regional discount or
rediscount as is so violently attacked
in the pending bill.
But the main thing is the changing
attitude of the banks in general. They
are no longer threatening or merely
obstructive. Critical still, as they
have a right to be, theirs is becoming
a criticism which would help and not
hinder congress and the president is
! pulling the country out of a ditch
which they nave been loudest to com
plain of and for which they are most
responsible.

The Daily Story
THE AMERICAN Cooley THOMAS RI DEAN
Copyrighted 1918 by ASSOCIATED Literary Burehu

In Europe. while the spirit of dueling
has died out, the form remains. except
in England. where the people have al
ways been one or two centuries ahead
of those-on the continent. Every now
and again some Englishman or Ameri-
can in France or Germany or Italy
finds himself up against a system with
which he has no sympathy and for
which in America no preparation is re-
quired.
The American has an advantage in
getting out of such affairs without dis
credit in his inexhaustihle assurance
and resource. Some years ago a party
of Americans got together at the pria-
cipal hotel in Rome on the Esquiline
hill, making each others acquaintance
easily. as Americans abroad do, visit
ing the sights together or at least meet
ing together at dinner after having
done so during the day. There were
both men and women among them,
mostly young and full of life and spir-
| its.
One of the men. Ernest Denbigh,
who owned a ranch in New Mexico,
| had brought letters to the American
minister, and that functionary, having
taken fancy to him, presented him ut
court and procured invitations for him
in society. Since there was nothing
mean about a man who had spent sew
eral years of his life in the wild and
woolly west of America. he helped such
members of the party he had fallen in
with as desired to see Roman society.
At ball at the Quirinal palace Den
high was introduced to the Princess
Ascent. beautiful girl, who fell des.
perately in love with him. Moreover
the young lady. being one of the poorer
members of the Italian nobility. was
not averse to wedding an American

But truth concerning federal legis-
lation is a rare and precious COM
modify. There are many considera-
tions why the people do not learn the
truth. Newspapers and magazines
are controlled or swayed by interests
of one sort or another, political or
commercial. Some of the really vital
facts are not regarded as news and
are never printed. Or the truth is
colored by the teller of it.
The National Voters league aims to
put before its members all of the vital
facts concerning congress, without
coloring or interpreting them, but Gull
ing them naked from the records. II
is not a lobby; it is forwarding nc
propaganda. Its firm faith is that
the destiny of the republic can be
safely trusted to the people when they
know the facts.
The names of some of the great
leaders of progressive thought are
found on the leagues executive com
mittee. Among them are Herbert S

New York Worldly

Wholesale denunciation of the ad-
ministrations currency bill has
ceased. The assumption that demo
Gratis are inherently incapable of ra-
tional dealing with such a problem is
failing. General approval of the plan,
with helpful suggestion for improve
ment in details, is becoming common
where it had been more fiercely at
tackled.
No one is now insisting that the
federal reserve board to supervise the
twelve federal reserve banks shall be
dominated by the banking interests
On the contrary, we have the presi

point, while urging an advisory coun
Gil to the government board chosen by
the reserve banks. We have the

THE WOMAN IN THE PULPIT.

The papers are printing the pic
ture of Rev. DR.. Rowena Morse
Mann, Chicago's only woman minister,
pastor of the Third Unitarian church.
Before she became Mrs. Mann she
was pastor of the Unitarian church
at Keokuk.
Mrs. Mann, ID. D., has attracted at
tention TO herself by declaring that
the epic minister is a man of the past,
superseded by the social minister.
She describes the epic minister as one
of the type that has forsaken the
world and, isolated from the hurry
burly OF the daily strife, attempts to
do the thinking for men. The epic
minister. she says, is a belated product.
The social minister, on the other hand,
is merely the leader of a group bound
by common desires and purposes. BY
no means is the social minister the
only minister in the congregation. Any
one who has something TO say has the
chance to give utterance TO his
| thought.
At DR. Mann's church there is much
| discussion of common conditions, al
ways entered into by members of the
congregation. Lectures on the single
! tax, on socialism, on the essentials OF
democracy are typical of the questions
with which this congregation busIes
/ itself
DR.. Mann declares that no institu,
ton has such chance for community
service as the organized church.

I used to welcome warm July
With all its gladness and its glory;
I used to hoist my banner high
And read again the thrilling story;
/ used to think the world was ne'er
So fair or free from dismal days
As in July and, often ere
This I have yielded it my praise.
Twas in a glad July that we
First waded in the sea together,
Forgetting in our youthful glee
How much depended on the weather.
The clouds were high, the scene was
bright
We piled up castles on the sands
And sat in peaceful hooks at night,
Ignoring care and holding hands.
II
Twas in July that she and I
Found fair wild roses in the hedges.
And from a bountifu supply
Exchanged lot of sacred pledges;
Enriched with unduuted joy,
We did not fear and never guessed
That hard conditions might destroy
The gladness which we then possessed
oh. dear July, I see no trace
At present of its former splendor;
Within my breast there is no place
Left for emotions that are tender;
Around us gleeful children play,
Our pretty cottage Frightening,
But In July we have to pay
The interest upon the thing.

THE HIGH SCHOOL AND CITI-
ZENSHIP

High school teachers of social
science and history have the best op-
portunity ever offered to improve the
citizenship Of the land" says DR..
Thomas Jesse Jones, of the United
States bureau OF education. DR.. Jones
believes that the 100000 boys and
girls now in American high schools
form the largest group of persons any
where in the world who can be guided
into acquiring the social point of
view" by means of the subjects OF
social science and history taught in
the modern way.
Good citizenship should be the di-
rect aim of the nigh school courses in
social science and history" he de-
clares. Good citizenship is the test
that must be applied to every topic in
| these courses. Facts, conditions,
theories, activities which do-not con-
tribute directly to the appreciation of
methods of human betterment have no
claim on the time of the high school
pupil"
DIR. Jones points out that under this
test civics must not be merely a study
of government machinery, but d study
of ali manner of social efforts to i'm
prove mankind. Every pupil should
| know. of course, how the president OF
| the United States is elected; but he
| should also understand the duties o.
! the health officer in his community
! 1t is the things near at hand and
| socially fundamental that should be
taught first of all Comparatively few
! persons have any need of knowledge
Of Congressional procedure, but every
citizen should know what are the
chances of employment for the aver
age man"
Proposed topics in this newer high
schoH civics are: Community health
housing and homes, pure food, publi'
recreation, good roads, parcel post anc
postal savings, community education
poverty and the care OF the poor
crime and reform, family income
savings banks and life insurance, hu
man and material resources of the
community, human rights versus prop
erty rights, impulsive action of mobl
and the selfish conservatism of ira
dition, public utilities, like street ca
lines, telephones, and light and waite,
plants.
THE purpose is not to give tn
pupil an exhaustive knowledge of an,
Of these subjects, bu, to give him
clue to the significance of these thing
TO himself and to the community, an,
10 make him want to know more abou
the conditions under which he lives
, 1t is TO help him to think civically, and
il possible, to live civically."

who. though he was without a title,
was. as all Americans abroad are sup
posed to be, very rich.
Denbigh was as much smitten with
the princess as she was with him, and
the course of true love might have run
smooth enough had it not been that
Prince Pinciano, an equerry to the
king, was himself in love with the
princess and did not propose to give
her up without a struggle.
One evening Denbigh and one of his
American friends, GARRISON, were at
one of the fashionable clubs in Rome
playing baccarat. Pinciano came in
and Joined in the game. Denbigh had
no knowledge of the prince or of his
pretensions to the hand of the Prin-

~ surprised when Pinciano threw
down his cards and. pointing to Den
bigh, declared that he would play no
more with that lowborn American,
who made money by cheating. and. ris-
ing. left the room.
Denbigh at once called for an in
yestigation. but member of the club
took him aside and told him that the
charge was we'll understood to be a
mere pretext to keep the name of a
lady from being connected with q duel
which was inevitable between himself
and his accuser. On being assured
that he would not suffer any stigma
