A Word to Politicians.

New York World: Not in person
nj sense but rs general rule OF con
duct IL President Wilson's remark at
Philadelphia to be considered -"If you
think too much about being re elected
it il very difficult to be worth re- elect
ing"
TO the practical politician this will
sound like heresy. He has small re-
spect for the President who fails to
strengthen himself with his party, to
keep his err to the ground and to court
popular favor for himself and his po-
litical followers.
Mr.. Wilson has in mind something
wholly different. He holds the Presi
dency to be an opportunity for service
to the people, not an avenue to popu-
larity and self promotion. His ideal is
that of I'm official whose acts are gov
erned not by ambition and love of APP
plause but by loyalty to his principles
and steadfast devotion to the public
interests.
1t Is the conception of man who is
master of himself, not the slave of the
ever tickle and capricious multitude
who studies not how to make votes but
to make his Office and the Government
worthy of confidence in the eyes of the

fresh-air children was being loaded

to country homes. Tags on their
clothing served to guide them to the

Just as the train was about to
start, one of the social workers In
charge discovered a small boy, about
five years old, crying and tagless. No
tag, no go, was the rule. She had
just one leftover tag, and In two
seconds she had pinned it onto the

The Cosmos Theater bill this week is
a big advance upon anything that has
appeared at that house this season Six
splendid acts constitute the bill, all of

quality. The big feature is the famous
kincaids, an aggregation Of twelve
Scotch lads and lassies, some OF them

ing OF the songs and dances of Scotland,
with comedy and sentimental features.
The act is of unusual magnitude and
quality and well worth seeing.
The Dancing Colds open the show with
a scenic offering OF graceful dancing, in
cluding sketches of the Tango type: Rob-
erts and Roberts present a neat exhibi-
ton Of prestidigitation, with many new
and clever tricks; James a. Dunno gives
some excellent limitations, interlarded
with unctuous numor; Fiske and McDon-
ough have a laughable playlet with a
surprise finish in THE Ladies Interior

girl of six, astonished with her delightful
entertaining, in which she sings, dances,

master.
The applause was generous at all the
performances and crowded houses lent
