The Simplicity of the Wise

True wisdom does not need the mask
and wig of pretense. 1t does not veil it.
self in mystery. 1t partakes of the ele-
mental simplicity of nature. 1t is kin to
the stars which shine before all men,
not alone before the initiate.
The wisest are the simplest.
They are the persons who have learned
that i'll life may be refuced to a few
plain principles, easily understandable.
The nearest we approach to correct
understanding of the principles the wiser
we shall be.
L AS children are simple, so are they
wise. They look upon life with fresh,
unclouded eyes, and they arrive some-
times at astonishinggly correct conclu-
sions by short cuts of correct reason
ing. Every parent of an intelligent child
can bear witness to the justice of this
observation.
Some of the greatest men and women
have not been too wise in their own
credit to garner wisdom from the store
of the little ones, accumulated by hered-
ity through the ages.
An interesting and charming example
of the way in which two learned men
stopped to take the hand of a child is
recorded in a current magazine. 1t con-
Germs the poets Longfellow and Lowell
who were simple. kindly, wise men.
The story goes that James Russell
Lowell used to walk along the gravel
paths of his beautiful garden in Cam

little girl. who was his neighbor. and

| ut was natural that the little girl
should resolve even then to become a
writer and first of all a poet, for it
was as a poet that the novelistfi Eleanor
Hallowell Abbott, first achieved recogni-
tion."
A pleasant picture-these two men,
learned. honored by the world, walk
ing hand in hand with little girl in
a sunny summer garden and instructing
her in the simple wisdom of the ages
No wonder she grew up to love their
calling!

CANOE CUP WILL J
STAY IN AMERICA
Friede Defeats BrittOn, Cana. .
dian Challenger, by a Big
Margin.
SETTLED IN TWO RACES

NEW YORK, July 15.-Leo Friede,
of the Manhattan Canoe Club, was
successful yesterday in defending the
international canoe challenge trophy
against Ralph Britton, of the Canaan
oque Canoe and Motor Boat Club, the
Canadian challenger. Friede won over
the eight-mile course by a margin of
minutes IL seconds.
In the first race, sailed last Friday
Friede won by | minute, 81 seconds.
In that race, however, Britton was
disqualified for fouling buoy.
Both races were sailed over a tri-
angular course on Gravesend Bay.
The race yesterday was a procession
after the first 200 yards. Britton got
the better start but Friede soon
passed him and the race then became
stern chase for the challenger, in
which he stea Oily fell behind.
The series was the first held for the
international challenge cup in eigh-
teen years. The trophy originally was
presented by the New York Canoe
Club in 1885 and 1t always remained
in it's possession. The summary of
Yesterdays race follows:

CHAMPIONSHIP FOR /
A. R. c. u. RIDERS.
Five-Mile Title Race the Prin-
cipaI Feature on Motor
drOme Card.
TEAM MATCH EVENTS, ALSO

With the weather man promising
good weather for tonight, the Motor
drome riders expect to get into the
saddles again after their weeks lay
off. There are seven races on the
program, four of which are for the
professionals and three for the anna
teurs.
The principal features will be the
f1ve-mile championship for the pro-
fessionals and the team match race
Rupprecht, Bedell and Hill and Dro-
bach and Halstead will take part.
As a matter of fact, the latter event
is exciting more comment than is The
championship race. The riders all
nave their friends, md these friends
are extolling the merits of the re-
spective favorites. 1t is conceded by
most of them that If Spears is in
favorable position he will flash across
the tape a winner. But, on the other
hand, Spears has not shown the best
of headwork, say his opponents, and
in a team race, where brains count
almost as much as speed, they be-
lieve they will be able to outguess
and outgeneral the speedy rider from
the Antipodes.
Spears, Root, Hill and Drobach
will probably be selected to do the
sprinting for their respective teams,
and it will depend altogether on just
where and how the men are delivered
for the final sprint as to who will
get home across the tape first. Fred
dy Hill is figured as the most likely
candidate for Spears to beat, with
Root a choice for third, and Drobach
last. The latter, however has been
known before to slip something over.
and he may surprise the knowing
ones in toEight's match.
The championship match, too, will
demonstrate whether Root will retain
his position at the 4u,.d of the point
column or not. He is leading at the
present time, but lis margin is so
small that should nc fail to get in
the points tonight, either Hill or
Rupprecht is likely to succeed him,
should they qualify.

MANAGER ADAM QUITS

Tom Adam, one of the leading au-
thorities on soccer football here
abouts, has resigned as manager of
the West Hudson football eleven
Adam has piloted the crack Hudson
county combination for the past
seven years. Besides winning the
American cup, emblematic of the
championship honors of the United
States, Adams team has succeeded
in capturing first place three times
in the National Soccer League.
1t is likely that either Charley
Murray or Bob Marshall will be
picked as Adams successor for next
season. Marshall led the eleven eight
years ago, when the Hudson estab-
lished a record, winning the Ameri-
can cup, National League honors and
Metropolitan Association champion

If Brooklyn, which for a time looked
so propitious, goes back on him. In
the Tigers Ebbets has the best bal
anced ball club in all the minor
leagues and a club, with just one more
pitcher, which would not be worse
than fourth in either Of the big
leagues. Besides there are at least
two players with the Tigers who are
likely to strengthen his Brooklyn club
next season. One is the pitcher,
Aitchison, and the other is the in
fielder, Getz. There may be others,
but Aitchison and Getz look the most
promising. 1t is said of Aitchison
that he has much, but lacks some
thing, Getz is very new and may re-
quire more time down here for sea-
soning. But Brooklyn has two fine
prospects i'm these two men. They
are worth, in way, much of the
money Mr.. Ebbets paid for the New

MADE OUT OF THE
THEATRICAL BUSINESS

In the November American Maya
zine a prominent theatrical manager
writes an article in which he gives
many interesting details OF his musi.
ness. He tells precisely how much 1t
costs to make a theatrical production,
how much actors really receive for
their work, and he tells the stories Of
famous successes and failures. Among
the facts that he presents are the fol-
lowing. showing the amounts of mon
ey made out of notable productions:
The show BUSINESS proper, /. e.,
the business of securing and producing
pIays for the entertainment of the
the~atergoing public, is a business Of
false and inflated values. Regulations,
receipts, salaries, expenditures, costs
Of production, losses on failure, and so
on through the list-everything is In
fated.
The 500, 900 production probably
cost $50, 900, out of which, in case OF
failure, there was a salvage Of $4,000.
The $4,000 production can easily be
duplicated for $4,000, and many a
dramatic production has been made for
from $4,000 to $4,000 that in the pub
lished figures represented an outlay of
1926, 900 before the curtain rose.'"

ity to participate in any and all meet
ings.
The objections offered to the new
primarylaw on account of expense are
not we'll founded. 1t makes a saving
of 100000 o in sheriff fees as compar'
ed with the old law. Besides II the
organization of the state government
is worth controlling by the people II is
worth paying for by the people. Its
value cannot be measured in dollars
and cents any more than the courts.
The principles or fundamentals laid
down in the new South Dakota party
primary election law, adopted by a di-
rect vote of the people, are e~ternally
correct and will always survive. AS
to details, it may have to be amended
to correct typographical and other
errors when we learn from experience
how to improve it. Soon after the
federal constitution had been adopted,
ten amendments had to be added, The
South Dakota party law, which is a
constitution for legal party govern
ment may also be amended as to de-
tails. However, it should be amended
or supplemented with a view of
strengthening its provisions and its
honest workings and not to cripple
same. A general national party pri-
mary election law will ultimately sup
plant all state party primary laws.
No one, who is fair, will condemn
the new primary election law till the
results of the coming primaries, in all
the parties, are seen. This is a gov
eminent by organization. The peoples
first and last voice, as to popular gov
eminent, begins and ends at the pri-
mary organization election and the fall
election. After these two elections
popular government ceases and repre-
sentative government begins. Popular
government, therefore has only to do
with the organization of the govern
ment through it's election laws. The
general election, or fall election, in it's
final analysis, is only a confirmation
election of one platform or another as
a result of the primary election. 1t
should therefore impress itself how
very important it is to have the right
kind Of primary election law to give
an intelligent direction to our govern
ment which is now of such magnitude
as to require the most exact legal
organization at elections to carry out
its destiny. 1t matters little how
cumbersome or expensive the new pri-
mary election law may seem to some
at this time, II the results are more
satisfactory. 1t is results We want.
1t Is practical results we are after. 1t
Is results that count. 1t is the merit
system that is to come, in govern
ment and economics, by setting in OPP
Grafton a practical legal representa-
tive-popular party government in
place Of the old, loose, irresponsible
party government by spoils. Legal
organization is government, and gov
eminent Is legal organization. Hence
an effective party primary election law
is the legal organization rudder to the
government.
