ing in the Senate or conversing with
friends.
There was quaint smile upon
Senator Vance's lips as he began to
speak. He rose to defend the propo-
sition that the stamp tax be retained
upon playing cards. With a queer
and inimitable drawl he began by
saying that he was confident that
not anywhere in the United States
was there a man who when he stood
pat OH three jacks or drew to two
aces would not glorify the name of
the distinguished senator from Ohio,
because the senator advocated the
repeating of the stamp tax upon
playing cards. If Senator Sherman's
objection should prevail, Vance pre-
dicted, playing cards in future would
bear a full-sized picture of the SEN
ator from Ohio to identify the joker
The manner in which this was said
was exquisitely humorous. Senator
Sherman himself Joined with the
other senators in unrepressed laugh
ter.
To some friends a year or two later
Senator Sherman said: 81 think SEN
ator Vance's brief remark at the time
it was proposed to repeal the stamp
tax upon playing cards was the most
humorous utteranee l ever heard in
the Senate. But l had the last laugh
after all, because in spite of the wit
and humor of Senator Vance the Sem
ate did not accept his proposition, but
did repeal the stamp tax upon play
ing cards. although the vote was a
very. close one. Vance captiated the
Senate, however, although he did not
capture 1t by his very funny speech"

Opinions and Views
from the Exchanges
A Lucky Publisher.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
| Some years ago, before dirty plays
| had become the fashion in New York,
the manager of new production
watched the critics nervously on the
first night. Before the end of the
play the newspaper writers started
with one accord to go away from
there. The manager intercepted them
with a watery smile. and the query:
well, boys will it do?" The boys"
shook their heads more in sorrow
than in anger Don't you think
there's good stuff in it?" the pro-
Queer persisted. Another general head
shake and a flank movement toward
the door. Say, boys" the manager
added persuasively, cant you say
could not do even that much for an
old friend, and the play went its
destined road to the storehouse.
There is a publisher in this town
who is much luckier than that man
ager was. He printed a book last
winter, which, like this Managers
play, was q failure. The publisher
proclaimed industriously that the
book contained great moral lesson.
But other people remained distress
ingly Indifferent to this truthful pres
entation," and the book went the way
of last springs violets to oblivion.
Now, as the volume is about to be
buried by the winter snowfall from
a thousand presses, along comes
some one far less discreet than the
critics to whom the manager ap-
pealed and shouts at the top of his
lungs that the old book is indecent
and must be suppressed. This fool
ish advertiser is Anthony Comstoek,
and he emphasizes his fanfare by
securing warrants for the publisher
and for the clerk who sold copy
of the book. The sale was made to
one of Comstock's agents. There is
nothing in the case to show that
anybody else had asked for copy
for months past.
However dead the book may have
been before, it will be a live wire
from this moment. Thousands OF
curious boys and girls who read the
name of the story in the court pro-
eeedings will try to buy or borrow
a copy. If there is any such poison
In the book as Mr.. Comstock be-
lieves, he has provided for the in
oculation of the most susceptible
part of the public with the virus he
is trying to stamp out. 1t is nee
essary to have officers to prevent
the circulation of indecent books and
pictures. But that is work which
needs to be done with the soundest
judgment. Anthony Comstock has
done great good in the suppression
of purposely foul publications. He
has also done a good deal of mischief
by calling public attention to works
of serious purpose which are proper
enough for mature men and women,
but which may harm adolescents, and
of which the adolescents would never
have heard but for his activity. His
motives are the best, but he has
worked so long in his own peculiar
field that his judgment is not as good
as that of a man entrusted with his
powers of advertisement
ought to be.

Where Editorials Are Signed.

Where Editorials Are Signed.
From the Boston Globe.
Australia's experience with its re-
cently-enacted law requiring ed1-
torials to be signed by the writer's
should be a warning to the faddists
of this country who may think that
America should copy the procedure.
No good has come from the legisla-
ton except that a little curiosity has
been satisfied. Some grim humor has
been injected into the situation by the
editors, who occasionally sign three
names to a short editorial opinion,
stating that the ideas set forth are
the result of composite effort.
If Russia should have such a law
no great surprise would be occa-
toned, but for a country where democ-
racy prevails and where the freedom
of the press either is guaranteed
under a constitution or exists as un-
written law no such expedient is ap-
propriate. The editorial opinions of
a newspaper are impersonal; they re-
fleet the general policy of the news
paper as an entity and as an or
ganism. To compel the disclosure of
authorship performs no public serv-
ice, and it is to be hoped that no
similar mistaken reform" movement
will be started in this country.

The Gentleman,

Carlyle said of Robert Burns that
there was no truer gentleman in Eu.
rope than the plowman poet. It was
because he loved everything-the
mouse and the daisy, and all the
things, great and small, that God had
made. So with this simple passport
he could mingle with any society, and
enter courts and palaces from his
little cottage on the banks of the Ayr.
You know the meaning of the word
"gentleman." 1t means a gentle man
"a man who does things gently with
love. And that is the whole art and
mystery of it. The gentleman cannot
in the nature of things do an un.
gentle, an ungentlemanly thing. The
ungentle soul, the inconsiderate, un-
sympathetic nature cannot do any.
thing else.-Henry Drummond.

Most people know that the reason
the wedding ring is put on the fourth
finger of the left hand is said to be
because the first two fingers and the
thumb were counted all as fingers,
and therefore as three. The thumb
used to be the ring finger anciently,
and the seal rings of those in author
ity were placed on this first short,
thick finger, the most useful of the
hand. The wedding ring is the mod.
ern descendant Of this old-time thumb
ring and was removed to the fourth
finger in this way: The first three
were named for the three persons of
the Trinity, and at the word amen
after the naming of the three, the
ring reached the fourth finger and was
left there. In reality, the ring finger
is the safest place for it,
There is another and less pleasant
origin, too, for the wedding ring The
old rings were the mark of bondage
as we'll as of dignity.
