Il + novelty is indeed the spice of
life, the major league baseball
campaigns of 1913 should be
lively enough to suit the most fas-
tidious taste. There is such an ele-
ment of uncertainty this year as
has never been evidenced since the
two great rivals began to do bust
ness along peaceable terms. When
the barrier springs on April 10 no
less than seven of the sixteen big
league managers will be nothing
more than experiments in the very
strictest sense of the word.
This year seven new managers
make their bows i'm as many big
show towns Three new managers
will bid for public patronage in the
American league; four will do like
wise in the National league circuit.
Ban Johnsons new generals are
Frank Chase, George Stovall and
Joe Birmingham. Tom Lynch's
new commanders are Johnny Ev-
ers. Joe Tinker, Miller Higgins and
George Stallings.
OF these seven leaders three will
be watched with exceptional inter-
est. These are Frank Chance.
Johnny Evers and Joe Tinker.
Chance will command perhaps the
greatest attention of any baseball
man in a new venture since the
time John j. McGraw deserted
Baltimore and the American league
to assume command of the New
York Giants.
Give Chances Men Credit.
For kindred reasons Chances flu
ture viii be followed with interest
by the whole sporting world. There
have been those pessimistic enough
to insinuate that much of the sue
cess Of the Peerless Leader" has
been due to the exceptional brain
power of the men under him-men
like J. Evers, Joe Tinker and Nor
decai Brown 1t is up to Chance to
disprove this allegation by improv-
ing the position of the local tail
enders.
For the same reason the work of
Johnny Evers, with the Cubs, and
Joe Tinker. with the Reds, will
command respect. Both of these
Chance disciples have fallen into
harder ways than the one who for
merry was their boss. Compared
to either. Frank Chance has a sine
cure The Peerless Leader" takes
charge of rank tailender. His
club can not possibly retrograde
any father. If there is any change,
1t must naturally be for the better
And it is q team that is possessed
of first division possibilities from
the very start
As Il winter manager Evers has
shown rare Judgment and has eff
fected several trades that should
prove highly beneficial. He drove a
very stiff bargain for Frank Chance.

Why Married People Lie to Each Other
They Won't Tolerate the Truh--- Means Ouane and They
Rather Have Peace Even They Have to Fb to That End

Mot long ago a wealthy West
y ern woman was heavily
fined by the customs au-
thorities for falsifying her state
ment about the value of a dress
she had bought in Paris. Upon in
vestigation the Collector announced
that he was convinced that the
reason the lady made a false re-
port of what she paid for the frock
was not because she desired to
defraud the Government, but be-
cause she was afraid to tell her
husband the truth about what the
garment had cost.
About the same time a man in
an Eastern town appeared early
one morning with black eye and
the most frlghtful tale of how he
had been waylaid by robbers and
almost murdered, and left for dead
by the wayside. and OF how he had
crawled home as soon as he re-
covered consciousness.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-10-07

but $40 for it. Such a bargain!
And Mr. Smith remarks that it
looks good to him, and he's glad
he's married to a woman who
knows the value of money and
doesn't fool it away as other wom-
en- do And Mrs Smith kisses him,
and has the difference between
what she pays for the hat and
what she says she paid for the hat
charged up on the grocery book
and the butcher book, and deep
peace reigns over Europe, Asia,
Polynesia and the Smith family.
Such experiences are not con-
fined to the Smith family. They
are daily enacted in every house
hold in the land, and the fault is
not with the liar, but with the ty.
rant that makes the liar. No man
but would like to be frank with
his wife No woman but would
like to be open and aboveboard
with her husband, but the price
of yeracity is a continual row, and
we all prefer peace even If we
have to get it by subterfuge
The truth is, We are all afraid
of our husbands and wives, and
fear breeds liars. A woman makes
her husband lie to her because
she won't stand for the truth. A
man puts a premium on his wife
deceiying him because he won't
stand for the truth from her, and
so it goes, and the biggest whop-
per that any man OF woman ever
tells is when they say to the part
ners OF their bosoms; 4 always
tell you the truth about every
thing"
OF course, it's better to fib than
to be divorced. but most people
have felt that the domestic lie was
a degradation, and these will be
cheered and comforted by Judge
Phillips decision that such lies
are not only admissible. but a con.
jugal duty.

on earth where strict veracity is
at as much of a discount as it is
in the family circle, which uni
versal experience proves that,
however admirable it may be as
theory, it is a boomerang in prac-
tice. Probably no man and no
woman ever tries telling the exact
truth to his wife or her husband,
but once. That once is sufficient
TO point the moral. Let it not be
forgotten that the champion liars
of history and tradition, Ananias
and Sapphire, were a married
couple, who had doubtless acquired
dexterity in putting across plaus-
ible fibs In dealing with each other.
Now, most married people, while
recognizing the impossibility of
maintaining the character ofTruth-
full James and Veracious Sally,
and still keeping up friendly re-
lations, have regretted this neces-
sity. More: They have been
troubled in their Consciences about
the matter, for they were not by
nature liars and would gladly have
dallied with the truth if they could.
To these unhappy tarradiddlers
there is balm in Gilead by the de-
cisiOn that has just been handed
down by Judge George l. Phillips,
of Cleveland. Ohio. who gives it
as his judicial opinion that when
a little lie will preserve the do
nestle calm, the husband should
tell it bravely and well, and in
manner TO carry conviction.
Indeed. Judge Phillips Daniel.

Eugenic Marriages
Bv EBERT HUBBARD

y EVERAL States in the Union
have adopted laws providing
for a physical examination
OF the prospective bridegroom
and a refusal of the marriage IL
cense to all who fail to pass.
But securing a certificate of
health, however, and presenting
it to the interested parties is a
rather uncanny affair.
Altogether it involves a degree
of publicity that is rather embar-
RAISING for quite a number of
people concerned.
A Bridegroom Policy.
Nature works by indirection.
She gets the thing she wants by
going after something else.
In this matter of eugenics let
us take a lesson from the dame.
My suggestion is that every
man, before the marriage cere-
mony is performed, comply with
one little requirement.
That is, let him present to the
prospective bride an insurance
policy on his life.
The size Of the policy ne can fix
himself. The amount will mir
ror his financial status, not his
love. Let it be for minimum Of,
say, one thousand dollars, with
no limit to the ante on the max
imum.
A life insurance policy implies
the health of the individual, and
all medical examiners will under
stand and appreciate the impor-
lance as well as the import Of
"A BridegrOom's Policy"
An insurance policy puts the
whole thing on a gracious, grace
ful and generous ground.
An insurance policy is a valua-
Bile gift, and when it comes as a
love token it will be especially
priced
If a woman gives her life into
the keeping of man, why should
not the man in return give her at
least a policy on his life?
Not only is a life insurance pol
icy guaranty of health, but It is
also a guaranty of something
quite as important, and that is
business acumen.
To be able to secure a life in
surance policy is a privilege, Not
every man can get one.
A Health Certificate.
But in the past anybody could
get married, and can yet, who is
able TO pay a license fee of so
cents.
AS for the clergyman, We can
stand him off.
A life insurance policy is a GER
tifieate of character, a certificate
of health, a symbol of economic
suff1ciency and efficiency-all in
one.

From EDWIN MARKHAM.

TT Ellen KELLAR, in many
ways the most wonderful
woman of the age, has
just published a book, "Out of the
Dark" through the Doubleday
Page Company. In spite Of both
deafness and blindness, she has
conquered the knowledge of the
world, and writes like fervent
prophecies of many of our anx-
ious problems. Here are some
timely words of wisdom for the
myriads of young people who are
just returning to their work in the
schools:
In college you will be brought
face to face with nearly all the
fundamental questions of life,
and you will learn how many men
have tried to solve them. Hitch
your wagon to a happy star, and
you also shall help to solve them
The world needs your intellect,
your scholarship, but most of all
your hearts-hearts that are low
ing, brave, hopeful, happy.
Does all this dream of high
privilege and noble service seem
far beyond the reach of your
powers of mind? Remember what
Senator Hoar said: Much of the
good work OF the world has been
that of duh people who have done
their best
Fears and regrets have no
place in the vocabulary Of youth.
whose spirit sets its white and
shining wings toward the purple
shores of the promised land. Be
happy, talk happiness. Happi-
ness calls out responsive gladness
in others There is enough sad
ness in the world without yours.
