Harsh Noises From LilIiputians

FTNHERE certain tropical flowers, OF
i blatant appearance, which give forth
prodigiously eloquent odors; odors indeed so
potent they are said to suffocate insects and
even animals There are human beings Of a
similar classification. They belong to that
professional class of "uplifters' who hold
forth from soap boxes the Ills of society
They are loud in their denunciations of all
existing orders.
The great reforms of the world are not ac-
complished en- masse. They are effective only
they work out in individual conduct The
man woman who retails ethics for the
race and fails in his or her own life is as
futile and bizarre phenomenon as the
malodorous flower of the tropics

PRESIDENTIAL PEDEsTRIANIsM

TO the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:
Sir-Edtorially today you remark on the fact
that President Wilson made journey on foot
through many New York streets. chief among
them Broadway and 5th avenue" and you say
that II is a pity that such simple instance OF
n perfectly democratic thing should be made
subject for headlines when the President does
IT, You have missed the point Judging by what
saw in New York on my recent trip TO that
city, 1 can inform you that til reason the
Presidents little journey got into the headlines
because in walking on those streets he
wasn't choked by dust, run over by Is wild
drivers, did not fall into nine excavation holes,
and was not arrested for lettering. He bears
charmed life and he ought TO get into the
headlines. Now you know!

The Point of View

The poor man lodges motorcars with anger
that he can't express,
And shrielts his msledictions as the motors
past him nit;
He rails about the lack of laws to halt the
frightful speed excess,
And holds that il he had car he'd never
speed a bit.
The poor mans business grows and grows
he wakes rich and prosperous;
He buys a g0-hurse machine and simply
burns the air,
And when he nearly hits man he thinks IL
Is preposterous,
And shows his indignation by his shrlek-
