Not Always Two sides.

From the New York Times
A writer in the September Atlantic
directs needed attention TO a statement
that is made as many times by as many
people. perhaps as any other and always
with a trust in its wisdom so undeserved
as to be truly pathetic. Two persons get
into a discussion on some subject and,
after a while, the chances are that the
one of them with the weaker cause or
the less ability to support il will try 10
close the argument by saying, oh. well,
there are two sides to every question"
Then the other. II he happen to he tired
of the debate, or 10 hold its subject of
10 vital Importance, will admit the as
sertiOn with more or less OF courtesy,
and they part with nothing settled.
Now it is not true that there are two
sides to every Question-not true, that
is. except in the never-intended sense
that there is to every question a wrong
side and a right side. A few have one or
two more possibly. but to the vast ma
jCrity of them there is but one side
worthy of the name, for, of course the
wrong side is not a side at all, as the
word in this usage is invariably under
stood,

House FollowS Progress

Republican Leader Mann Announces Results by

Lack of Dignity Among Members.

For two hours yesterday the House
followed the progress of the Giants

letins being read from the floor by Rep
resentative James r. Mann OF Illinois.
the Republican leader Representative
Bartlett of Georgia grew peevish over
Mr.. Mann's announcements. and on one
occasion the two members had a little
spat as to the prof. riety of the perform
ance.
Mr.. Mann finally told Mr. Bartlett that
the House wanted to know about the ball
game, and he would continue to read the
bulletins whether Mr.. Bartlett liked il or
not. Mr.. Bartlett lost his temper and
intimated that to interject baseball buIle-
tins into the proceedings was far fEom
being 'digniied. Mr.. Mann replied that
nevertheless he would keep the House
informed on the big events OF the day.
Representative Payne of New York
smiled throughout the day. He smiled
when the Athletics scored three runs in
the first inning, and he roared with
laughter when Mr.. Mann announced that
the Athletics had scored twice in the

terday to deny a report that appeared in
one of the local newspapers that he was
roofing for the Giants.
That's a mistake" he said to a re-
porter I'm for the Athletics. Please
make a correction
For a time during the afternoon the
House went through a lot Of motions
that appeared to indicate that it was
busy. But such was not the fact Mr..
Mann read the results OF the first three
innings, and then for an inning or two
bulletins were thrown on a table in front
of the rostrum for the benefit Of
members.
Schang's home run in the seventh was
announced from the floor by Mr.. Mann,
and using his hands for a megaphone
Mr.. Mann cried out the final score in
the midst OF a speech by Mr.. Bartlett.
Mr.. Bartlett, wrapped in his dignity and
indifference to baseball. continued his
speech, not deigning to notice the inter
ruption or the laughter and applause
that greeted Mr. Manns news.
