THE NEW ROsTON FAD.

Boston has its fads as well as New
York. but they are different. New
York is low brow. Boston is high
brow. BOston's fads radiate from or
center upon literature. New York's
fads follow only folly.
In Boston they have clubs named
for everybody who has been recogniz-
ed by the Hub as a high brow. Men
of letters are gods and the Bostonese
worship at their shrines. Literature
has become an obsessiOn if not a re-
ligion. The PHILOSOPHERS Of Emerson.
Huxley. Darwin. ct al. are quoted with
more familiarity than the truths of
the holy writ
Emerson stands next the Bible on
the library shelf. not superceding but
sharing consideration. What Elmer
son has written is almost if not quite
as sacred as the word Of the inspired.
The children imbibe his philosophy
with their mothers milk and absorb
il from the daily conversation of the
family circle. 1t affords consolation
in affiiction and gives zest to happi-
ness. Love has been reduced to it
and lovemaking is conducted through
the enunciaton OF its principles.
What wonder then that the grave
OF the Concord philosopher should be
made the altar for the marriage of a
BOStonese couple whose brows are
supposed to have attained an almost
unexampled altitude? With hands
clasped across the tomb they plighted
thsir trOth and spent the remainder
OF their wedding day in EmersOnian
communion.
IL IS rare such marriages are made
on earth. They partake rather OF the
spiritual nature OF that communion
which mortals try to picture in a flu
ture state. They should be affinity
high, incompatibiity strong and di-

A FOOTBALL CLASSIC.

1t remained for the university of
Notre Dame TO reveal TO the east that
football is an requirement not an
inheritance. The revelation came in
the game with West Point in which
the westerners gave the most sensa-
tional and scientific exposition OF the
modern game ever witnessed.
Football authorities who messed
the game and who were amazed at
the proficiency OF Notre Dame are re-
sponsible for this statement. They
saw something they had never seen
before in all their experience. They
saw the forward pass brought to per-
lection and behind 1t a machine like
demonstration of line plays.
TO say that the football world was
surprised is a mild expression of the
sensation caused by the Notre Dame
eleven when ii swept the army play
ers from their feet with its marvellous
handling OF the ball. the mass plays
and the work of individuals. The
east was awakened TO the fact that
the west has arrived and must be
counted
The victory over the West Point
eleven puts Notre Dame in a class
with the larger universities OF the
east and in the future will command
recognition that has not been accord
ed in the past

INDIANA is DEMOCRATIC.

Indiana went democratic in the cleo
tions on Tuesday. counting the results
from the city contests. That party
carried thirty OF the municipal cleo
tions TO seven for the independents or
citizens, five for the republicans and
three for the progressives.
All OF the larger cities OF the state
with the single exception Of south
Bend elected democratic tickets. The
citizens or Independents were vic
torious In South Bend. Lafayette, VAL
paraiso, Garrett, Michigan City. AIish-
awake and Peru. The republicans
carried Vincennes. Laporte. Renssel-
aer, Madison and Monticello. The pro-
gressives won in Marion, Richmond
and North Vernon.
On the whole the democrats have
little 10 regret and much TO be thank
full for. The political situation was
in g chaotic state, great uncertainty as
TO the condition OF the public mind eX-
listed. even in democratic circles. The
disintegration which usually follows a
presidential election threatened Gu
riously enough. however, it was ap-
parent as far as the democrats were
concerned only IN South Bend.
The decentralization Of the republic
can and progressive parties particu-
larly the latter. was strikingly empha-
sized. In only eight cities were they
able to make a showing worth cOnsid-
ering. The tendency was to center
the opposition to the democratic party
by the expedient of citizens or indie
pendent tickets.
In most places this expedient failed
in all except what was perhaps the
main purpose. to establish a common
ground on which the warning factions
Of the republican party might be re-
united.
The conditions placed the democrats
in a perilOus position. The indie
pendent movement was we'll masked
behind an ostensible popular clamor
for non-partisan municipal govern
ment which was calculated TO arouse
a momentary enthusiasm. But in the
face of this the party which now con-
trolls the national government held it
self well in hand and met the on
slaught with a practically solid front.
The effects of the campaign on the
several parties, especially the repub-
lican and progressive, will make an in
teresting study TO which political lead
ers vii devote their attention in the
interim preceding the next election.

MARRIED LIFE THE
SECOND YEAR
THE sPOKEN PROMISE.

After all Helen did not have the
family for New Years dinner. War
ren's father was taken i'll the day af-
ter Christmas, and the whole family
was so concerned that any kind of a
dinner or celebration was not to be
thought of.
And Helen was glad-secretly,
wickedly glad! She told herself that.
of course, she was sorry Mr.. Curtis
was sick, but il was only acute indi-
gestion from eating too much Christ
mas dinner, she could not be seriously
alarmed.
So she and Warren and the baby
had a quiet and restful New Years at

There was a moments silence.
Then Helen said quietly:

I'll listen"
Listen to what?"
ITO all you are going TO say about
my deception and trickery."
Now this was discOncerting. II is
hard to rage at a person who admits
she is willing to be ragged at. Warren
had prepared a seeting lecture as he
fumed angrily on the way home. But
it was difficult TO deliver when she
had already anticipated IL and was
sitting there waiting, her hands meek

very apparently waiting for him to go
on. This only further incensed him.
He certainly expected apologies and
excuses and tears. To be
sure tears always enraged him. but
this calm unruffied composure en-
ragged him home.

The Objectionable features of
present-making lie on the surface.
Where the custom is fairly charge
able with commercialism il is of
course contemptible But I suspect
that the fault here lies rather with
the opportunist than with the oppor-
sunity. Why should a guest invited

One may well question the taste of
our Indiana congressman who stagily
declined to join his colleagues in 2

he did a good job in directing atten-
ton to an odious feature of present
making-the practice OF levying con-
tribution. Many thOughtlessly do this

If Huerta has been asked TO step
aside in the interest Of continental
peace it is because he has neglected
his opportunity and forfeited his right
10 further consideration, and because
his purpose is the requirement of
power at the expense of peace.
The United states is humanely in
terested in its neighbOr and it wants
peace. It has no interest in either
faction in Mexican politics beyond the
restoration Of constitutional govern
ment and order. II one faction favors
constitutional government and the
other dictatorial rule the United
States has no choice but 10 espouse
the cause of the constitutionalists.
No power rests with the United
States 10 depose Huerta except by
force of arms, but this government
can with perfect propriety ask him
10 retire in the interest OF peace pre-
liminary to any further action 1t may
take in the event Of his refusal.
What that further action may be is
Washington. The American govern
ment is being urged to help the con-
stitutionalists by providing them with
arms and the request is being unoffi-
cially considered Peace advocates
are arguing that the solution OF the
situation is to give the constitution
alists an opportunity TO bring the
question of control to a speedy deci-
sion.
Such a course would be contrary to
the policy Pres. Wilson has so far pur-
sued, but perhaps the time has arrived
when more heroic remedies are neces-
sary The president has been very pa
tient, though Insistent in its opposition
to the Huerta form of government.
