NEW ravens ne" BOSS introduced "a
a Very Human Railroad Man.
New York World: Who is Howard
Elliott? What is he like? What does
he look like?
These questions in one form or an
other will be asked by the thousands
who live along the lines Of the New
Haven system, of which he has just
been chosen the executive head. They
probably know that he is a native OF
New York and that he Is a western
railroad man, but outside of railroad
circles and his family and business
friends in the east Howard Elliott is
little known. .
Howard Elliott is as much unlike his
predecessor, Charles S. Mellen, as it
is possible to imagine two railroad ex-
ecutives to be. He is as affable as
Mellen is chilly, as tactful as Mellen is
abrupt, and makes friends as easily
as Mellen used to arouse the ire Of
committees and commuters. Withal he
is as dignified as his predecessor-if
anything a bit more so-and essential
ly the alert business man all the
time. "
Mr.. Elliott is not really a westerner.
He is, in fact, an fastener of the
seasterners, and a "down east" Yam
kee at that. for he is a lineal descend
ant of John Eliot, the apostle of the
Indians. Born in New York city, he
spent his boyhood in classic Cambridge
inc at Harvard he took the degree of
c.. E., ranking high in his class, which
he entered as a sophomore.
Physically he is a sturdily built man
of So, but does not look it.; above the
average height, though his breadth of
shoulders makes him appear shorter
than he is, and is dark complexioned.
He shakes hands with you as though
he meant it, and he looks you in the
eye while he is talking. He possesses
the rare faculty of making a stranger
feel at home in his presence and at
the same time giving the impression
that he knows his business and knows
that he knows it and Is willing to
concede the other fellow knows his
particular line. too. He dresses Simply,
to the point of plainness, prefers
travelling like an ordinary citizen when
he can do SO to riding in his private
car and without the attendance of a
valet.
He also takes a lively interest In
current affairs, as witness the expert
ence of a reporter who called to in
terview him a little more than a year
ago. He found Mr.. Elliott dressing
for dinner. The reporter, after asking
the two or three questions he had in
mind, prepared to go. but 1t was Mr.
Elliett's turn to become interviewer
The papers at that time were full OF
the Rosenthal case, and knowing that
his visitor probably would know more
about the inside of the case than could
be printed, questioned him at length.
aIts a wonderful case" he said. as
the reporter started to go, "and I'm
just human enough, I suppose, to be
interested In 1t"

kipIins's Queer Conduct.

Z New York Sun: At a tea the other
day, a woman heard the following re-
marks made about her favorite author.
She turned to listen, amazed by the
eccentricities Of conduct narrated.
yes. o know" the hostess was
saying, "Kipling came in and behaved
so strangely! At luncheon he suddenly
,sprang up and wouldn't let the watt
ress come near the table. Every time
that she tried to come near he would
jump at her.
"He made a dive for the cake which
was on the lower shelf of the side
board, and took it into the parlor TO
eat it. He got the crumbs all over the
sofa and the beautiful rug.
when he had finished his cake he
simply sat and glared at u.s."
The visitor finally could not control
herself, and asked: Excuse me. but
are you speaking Of Mr.. Rudyard Kip
ling?"
"Mr. Rudyard Kipling?" echoed the
hostess. ooh, no; Kipling is our dog!"

BADLY SWELLED HEADS,

New York Evening Post: There may
or may not have been a small amount
of corruption in the activities of the
Manufacturers association as detailed
by the precious Mulhall, but there GER
tainly was a large amount of self-com-
~placency. These agents and secretar-
les, lowering about the edge of big
politics. came to feel that they had
their fingers on the very pulse of the
machine. They fairly swelled Ut with
the sense Of their own Importance.
This came out amusingly in the let

Faith and the Fool.

roW the first part Of that terrible
- day passed with me l cannot
bring myself TO write. My
hearts blood has tipped this
quill long enough. When the hour Of
Nariposa's wedding arrived l was as
docile as a madman whose cunning
only awaits the opportunity to flare up
in demoniac fury. i was q starving
wild beast, for not a morsel of food nor
a drop of drink had been given me since
my imprisonment: indeed, the bolts and
bars OF that dungeon had not been
moved in their grooves.
Most of the day 1 tramped up and
down in the dark. with my eyes fixed
on that door, ready at a bound to do
what? Only one idea was clear In my
mind. and that was the smooth, ivory
white of Mistress Mariposa's throat.
1t was late in the afternoon when the
ceremonials began. The pipes chanted.
The population OF the clachan marched
with the Macdonald and his bride to the
burn that flowed in the glen. There. as
have learned, the ice crust was
broken. and over the black, gurgling
waters the Macdonald and Mariposa

QUAKER CITY MEN
FAVOR MUNSEY PLAN
FOR LIBERAL PARTY
Republicans in Philadelphia
Think Scheme Feasible and
Worth Trial.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2.-Opinions
In this city are divided as to the prac-
ticability of Frank A. Munsey's plan for
a new party to take over the Progress
sfve and Republican organizations. All
admit Mr.. Munsey has shown sincerity
of purpose, and the Republicans are
willing. to try the proposition IL a work.
Ing agreement can be found on which
to base a coalition.
U1tra-Progressives, however, feel their
organization is strong enough soon to
OF all types and political faiths. and
sooner or later they will be in the
position to obliterate all the old organf-
cations that are reactionary.

In Mr.. Munsey's sincerity of purpose
In suggesting his plan l have not the
slightest doubt. His mistake lies in
his dating of the break between the
Republican -stand-patters and the Pro-
gressives, which he refers to as occur

extends further back than that. 1t is

Reason for Opposition.
Chairman Thomas l.. Hicks, Washing
ton party chairman. says:
AS. business proposition, there is
a speculative fascination about Mr.
Munsey's imaginative plan to create the
Liberal party. which shall act as an
agent to keep the books until the Re-
publicans and Progressiyes and pro-
gressive Democrats are ready to
coalesce.
Political parties are not created by
resolution. but by votes. Until after
the election last November there Was
no visible, legally established National
Progressive party. Until 1916. therefore,
the National Liberal party has no pos
sibility of being born. BY that time the
sturdy Progressive infant will be big
enough to stand alone and will want no
holding company's aid.
1T seems clear to me, therefore that
a Liberal party, with no platform. no |
leader, and no vote. is a party that /
never can exist"

1 did not wait to see the effect of its

have ended here. 1t is probable that 1

snar,ed.
