Choice in Small Things

G.. M. Hodges in Philadelphia North Amercan)
 This talklet has to do with four words,
 The first of these is Choice"
 Even young children begin choose. We want an orange instead of prunes for breakfast, We play ring-arOund- the-rosy instead of pussy wants corner.
 Growing, we choose in larger matters Many of the things have what they because chose them. Even the poorest have some choice once in while. Even the richest sometimes denied a choice But the power to select is one of the most general and all the powers we have
 And we choose between things we choose between mental and spiritual attributes. We choose cheerfulness pickle ourselves in pessimsm Always We are choosing between what think is right and what think is wrong. Nearly every decision we make is based, in measure, upon choice.
 And upon choice depends the second word
 That second word
 We talk great deal about habit, the force of habit and all that We do not think as much as We talk. So many of words empty as last years chestnut burrs.
 Habit is born of choice Some say habits are inherited. Tendencies may be inherited habits are not because habit is choice becomes habit.
 If one chooses to be or to do as another is or does, desired habit may be formed If one chooses the opposite, habit not desired may be avoided
 We creatures of habit, but only of the habits we choose to have The final decision in most cases rests with the supreme self.
 And habit is the important things with which we are concerned for habit foundation We build the priceless structure of the
 
 The third word is "Character'
 We hear much about character also think We know what it is. Is your definition good as this: Character is the quality of mind expressed by outward behavior?
 Whether or nO-character is what is, is built solely habits of thought action
 Actions, words, looks steps, the alphabet by which you may spell character said Lavater
 Seldom does stop to consider that this or that little habit may depend the beauty fulness of the human structure being by each one of us Yet just as one misplaced stone throw whole wall out of plumb, may bad habit disfigure debilitate life that otherwise might be beautiful and of high
 But there is this happy and comforting differ ence between the wall of brick and the wall of a life-the bad habit may be removed with out endangerng the strength stability of the last named.
 And the total of good and bad habits de- termines the fourth word
 Destiny completes the quartet.
 Your destiny depends your character Your character is the of your habits. Your habits born of choice
 So what and what you to be-What you know and what others will think you are-s a matter of choice.
 The great fact remember is that it is matter of choice in small things.

There is something in the Los Angeles news paper way of handling that commands amused outside attention.-the tendency to ocalize events that take place in all parts of the world. That is a good thing Los Angeles. The name of the town kept before the local readers whose civic pride is thereby increased they become enthusiastic and loyal citizens.
 gees papers have stretched point locaize their foreign For instance, the Duke of BazOo has died. At the Los Angeles journals inform their readers that a distant relative of the duke years ago passed d brief season in Los An gees was charmed with the climate and the enterprise he had noticed throughout southern Cali forna.
 Something happens to more or less well-known character in distant part of the country, abroad, and the newspapers are reminded that a son-in-law of his niece once contemplated a visit the city of the Angels.
 A lady is presented the English court is thereupon noted in the society columns of the Los Angeles papers that cousin of hers aforetime the guest for a brief period of Mrs Hugomont Ran dolph De Peyster of Wiltshire Boulevard

Direct Candidates Pledged
Chicago Tribune)

An essential to the effectiveness of direct presi- dential primaries is the requirement that every candidate shall announce not only his candidacy but his platform.
 No presidential primary should be passed. should even be considered, without this proviso
 If, hope, the membership of parties is to assume the right and power directly to select their candidate the highest office in the land, them. The candidates should be required to make a definite satemnnt of principles, to declare them selves public issues and pledge themselves to favor certain explicit ends
 The successful candidates thus will provide the basis for a responsible party platform by testing the wishes of the rank and Iile of the parties, and by establishing a direct responsibility between the people and the party leadership.
 The present system has given more or less Pickwickian document called platform framed by a committee in star chamDer session, with the purpose of giving the maximum appearance 0; good faith with the minimum Of definite pledges Then candidate is chosen who is supposed To be in full sympathy with this pronouncement though he frequently is kept busy interpreting 1t to compromise between his convictions and his political acesaIties
 The plain citizen is fuddled by this process which is exactly what certain type of leading politician wishes A review of campaigns dis will illustrate this
 the direct primary applied to presidential nominations all this machinery will be swept tthe rank and file of each party will have directly upon their shoulders the responsibility selecting their leader and agent, who must be one who shares their political and social convictions ana purposes. The whole matter is between the candidates and the people and they should be quired tO get together
 Furthermore, this declaration should be made immediately upon the announcement of candidacy, so that full time for consideration and debate be tn, oughout the cOuntrF.
 The platform erlent should be insisted upon as a necessary part of any direct presidential primary measure

The Short Ballot

In considering the short ballot with which the the opponents of it suffer confusion of ideas. They believe it to be inconsistent with the doctrine of popular rule They fail to distinguish between the government and the administration of the ernment, which are different a mine and the operation of mine. The stockholders a majority of them may choose or depose the superintendent of the mine but they could not well have voice in the election of the foremen the miners and the muckers and. other employees about the mine
 The people will be in control of the government of Phoenix under commission of govern they have never been. While directing power to change the administration whenever it seems them proper.
 Under the short ballot system there would be incentive change the administration for political reasons, since the minor parts of the ad- ministration as well the major parts will be chosen solely with reference their fitness.
 Without the short ballot it would be diff cult keep politics of the administration When there long list of officials to be filled by the popular vote inclination of the people to divide groups about their favorites and the most natural group is the political party. Once elected the officers proceed discharge what they them. Such appointive places as there may be are

The MaIingering of MT. Webb

The Arizona Suffrage League must regard with much satisfaction the failure of the Hon. w. T. Webb deliver the electoral of Arizona Washington in time to be counted They must re- gard his failure a judgment upon him; pro- roking display the ineptitude the species when important business is concerned.
 If the women of Arizona could have chosen the man who should make such an egregious pebble" in handling the electoral vote Arizona with one voice they would have chosen MT. Webb for he it was who flouted them in the election of a ger The dilatory woman in~-the state could not have achieved of a failure, handicapped she would have by. the necessity of getting her hat straight and buttoning herself up the back.
 So after all, far Mir. Webb is concerned, We did not really vote for president. It that might O many of us wanted state hood with it's additional expense, it's added burdens and responsibilities. Some of had cised that highest privilege of the eign Others of for years had been permitted to take part in the hiring of best paid servant.
 Coming away the polls November G. last, many gray-hared Arizonian, tears of joy and pride glisening in his eyes, exclaimed, At l have lived to for president" But if he had depended upon MT Webb, he he will not have lived until early in November of 1916 and he will then have lived in vain unless a more careful messenger than MT. Webb is chosen to carry the to the national capital
 But what will be the effect of this slip the part of Mir. Webb his political aspirations his ambition to become United States marshal zona? Will President Wilson regard a man who must have had a peculiar incentive deliver the electoral vote of Arizona and failed to do it. a proper person to be charged with the service of warrant of arrest a subpoena duces tecum? What if Marshal Webb to start with a consignment of federal convicts for Atlanta, (and make such shipments twice year), and get lost he seems to have done with the electoral vote?
 Lack of time cannot be pleaded in behalf of Mr. Webb He had all the time there between the 9th of January and the 27th the month twenty-one full days and almost many nights One ought to travel to Washington in five days In pursuit a federal appointment he ought negoti- the distance in four days. We have little doubt that along about the 4th of March and immediately subsequent thereto, MT Webb and other Arizonians by hitting only the high places, emitting railroad curves and confining their paths only to the tan gents will the distance in three days ant perhaps in only two.

Two Romanoffs
(Kansas sCitv JournaD

Absolutsm in Russia is dying very hard. The little clings his remaining inherited pre- negatives with desperate tenacty and his des- potc privileges taken from him one by one he becomes more and more severe in the exercise of those which rmain. Notwithstanding the advance of liberty in Russia, the head of the house Romanoff remains unchallenged in many of those ancient customs which relate royalty and the affairs Of his immediate family. An example the great latitude of action still permitted the czar is shown by the recent circumstance of deposing Grand Duke Michael.
 Nicholas is exceedingly jealous of interference with his ideas of royal demeanor He holds family pride high above every other consideration and adheres to the theory of his ancestors that the relgnng house and all its members should give blind obedience to the royal will Thus when the cZars brother, Grand Duke Michael, followed the dictates of his heart and married a "commoner' it was unforgivable affront to royalty itself It was more. This exhibition of independence was defiance of tradition and custom It was a recog mtOn of quality among the people that could not be tolerated Therefore the czar ordered that his brother be punished, and the measure O that pun ishment was limited only by the law which denies the czar the right to take his brothers life or destroy his liberty person.
 The grand duke has been deposed from his lofty rank in the army, his property has been virtually confiscated and he has been denied the privileges of the court. In the eyes of Nicholas, his brother has committed most grievous offense possible short Of actually plotting for the throne Not only have the title and property of the unfortunate broth CT been taken him but he is made practically an exile forever barred from the possibility of be- coming regent in the event of the czar's death Every form of indgnity and harassment possible has been resorted to by Nicholas. and all because Michael married woman from the ranks"
 It is almost unbelievable that day and generation such things be, in Russia. The history Of the affair reads like pages Russian romance when horrible things done to unruly members of royal houses no one dared to protest. The incident shows how Russia came to having a human cZar if the stars had favored Michael instead of Nicholas. Of course. Michael can get along somehow and the chances are good for his happiness with the wife of his choice Having made such heavy sacrifices already love- m in way far beyond the narrow comprehension of Nicholas. Michael has done the name of Romanoff to respect and honor in the world than has Nicholas with all his grandeur and power
