SCORE ANOTHER ONE
FOR WOODROW
rCleveland Plain Dealer. ]

An encouraging fact about Mr.. Wilson S
selection of Walter II. Page as ambas-
sador at the court of st. James is that
Mr.. Page is not known as a millionaire.
This important circumstance aside, of
course, it is recognized that the successor
of Whitelaw Reid is fine type of Amer
ican, a man capable of filling this inAn-
entail post with entire credit to himself
and the nation.
If all the important posts abroad are
filled with equal wisdom there will be
cause for universal satisfaction. Itwould
signify at least a temporary abandonment
of the absurd theory that great wealth is
a necessary possession for anyone desir-
ing to rise to the highest rungs of the
diplomatic ladder.
Gross extravaganza and ostenation have
too long been considered necessary con-
comitants of American diplomacy in the
big European capitals, the most exact
ing post by that theory being the one at
London. The Page selection stands as
the administration answer to that kind
of nonsense.
Unquestionably the government should
be more liberal i'll the matter of diplo-
matte salaries. In particular ambassador
ial residences ought to be provided in
the more important capitals, No stretch
of reason, however, could justify gov
ernment outlay which would cover the
expenditure lately popular at St. James
and elsewhere.
Encouraging indications are not want
ing that this wholly false and destructive |
idea that none but millionares can be
American ambassadors. The quicker it |
is utterly abandoned the better the AM
erican people will like it.

a day to be paid to their families, Now
the Associated Press reports thas so many
cases of wife-beating are before the courts
that the dockets are being overcrowded,
It would be strange indeed if this were
not true, The law has made it possible
for any unemployed married man in Cal
ifornia to get a job at a dollar and half
day, All that seems necessary is for
the wife to bring the charge of beating
and for the man to plead guilty regard
less of the facts in the case. Land mon
opoly in California has mad opportunities
for workers so scarce that a chance 70 get
a dollar and half day job in Jail is too
tempting to resist. If other states imi-
tated California the same result would
doubtless be shown.

The Catholic ministers of Cleveland
will be getting themselves disliked by
the personal liberty fellows if they
don't watch out. Twenty-four of them
have sent a petition to the members of
the legislature asking for some amend
ments to the liquor license law as passed
recently by the Senate.
They demand that no saloon be
permitted within five hundred feet
of parochial school or church now
erected.
They demand that no liquor be
sold on credit, and to no person
whose family is not in good circum-
stances.
Half of the saloons would be wiped
out of existence by the last provision if
it were made a law and enforced. 1t
would separate half the drinkers from
their booze. And what howl would 90
up, my countrymen. Personal liber-
ty'' would sure get a jolt.

WORRYING ABOUT THE AM
BASSADOR'S SALARY

The salary of the American Ambassador
to Great Britain is at present Sl7, 500 a
year or about S4S day, including Sun
DAYS and holidays. The salary Of the av-
erage American worker is about S4S a
month. Yet a solemn discussion is now
going on as to whether the dignity of a
nation of S4S a month workers can be
fttiugly represented by a S+S day man.
The suggestion is seriously made that
the salary be increased, (the S4S a day
salary, not the S4S a MONTH lest we be
ashamed in the eyes of the world. We
must show ourselves nation of easy
marks" in order to avoid the reputation
of being nation OF tight wads' is
about what the argument amounts to.
much more important question to en-
gage the attention of the American
people is to increase the salary of the av-
erage worker. Until that has been done
no one will be any worse off if the Eng
lish Ambassadorship remains untitled.
In the meantime if there is any question
to be settled with the English govern
ment the English ministers, Parliment
and people, will be quite as ready to base
their action on its merits as they would
be if we had a diplomatic spendthrift to
represent us.

VIII. PAGE IS WELL
KNOWN IN ENGLAND
New Ambassador Has Had Lit
erary Career.

New York.-Walter II. Page, the new
ambassador to the court OF St. James,
is southerner. He was born in the
village Of Cary, N. c., In 1855 and was
graduated from Randolph Macon col
lege In the spring Of 1876 after which
he pursued postgraduate studies at
Johns Hopkins university. He was
one Of the first fellows of the latter
university when It opened in the fall
OF 1876, having won Greek scholar
ship under Dr. Basil L. Gildersleeye
For Il number OF years he was presi-
dent of the New York Alumni associa-
ton Of the university.
Having chosen n literary career, he
fell naturally into journalism and
magazine work. For the Atlantic
Monthly he wrote n society study OF
the old southern borough. which led
to his obtaining an engagement to
travel through the south as a corre-
spondent of the Boston Post, the
Springfield Republican and the New
York World. The sociological prob
lens Of the south especially engaged
his attention, and he later delivered a
series OF lectures on these topics at
Harvard university.
In 1890 Mr.. Page became editor or
the Forum, and It was due to his vigor-
Gus editorial policy that this magazine
was made successful after having fall
ed to pay anything on the investment
for several years. In the course or
his work as editor Of the Forum Mr..
Page became one Of the best known
litterateurs i'm the United States. and
his writings attracted the attention OF
European men Of letters.
From 1895 to 1899 Mr.. Page was the
literary editor and adviser for the pub
fishing firm Of Houghton. Mifiiin &
Co and for the next three years was
the editor of the Atlantic Monthly, TO
which magazine he had been con-
tributor for years Since 1900 he has
been the editor in chief Of the Worlds
Work and has been n member Of the
publishing firm of Doubleday, Page
& Co.
The new ambassador has wide ac-
quaintance' among men Of letters and
science in England and is an intimate
friend of many contemporary English
statesmen. His selection by President
Wilson is considered n happy one and
is on q par with those previously sug-
gested-President Emeritus Eliot of
Harvard university and Richard olney
of Massachusetts.
Mr.. Page is the author Of "The Re-
building of Old Commonwealth" and
is a member Of the University and
National Arts clubs. His home is in
Garden City In 1880 he married Miss
Alice Wilson. the daughter Of DR.. Will
liam Wilson of Ann Arbor, Mich. They
have several children. Mrs. Page has
always been a woman Of domestic
tastes.

United Societies Organizing
the Women

City and state conventions for spreading the

decided upon September at a meeting of the
executive board of the United Societies the Bismarck
Hotel says the Record Herald.
The city convention, which will be made up of
100 delegates from affiliated societies in Chicago
will be held within the next month. At this conven-
ton the constitution of the United Societies will be
amended to give representation to women on the ex-
ecutve board which now is composed of los members.
The tentative plan is to add fory-hve to the
committee it stands An auxiliary women's
committee also may be formed The new scheme of
organization will be worked out by the political action
committee and reported to the city convention.
The state convention will be held not later than
January after liberty leagues have been formed among
the women in the principal cities downstate. A state
organization will be perfected at that time It is
planned to hold the convention previous the local

gown which might be worn with

two shades of dull orange. This

appropriate for any evening affair
The fourth picture shows black

not too matronly for the debutante.
The lace tunic is new. The double
