IN folks never get understanding
enough to figure out that it's coward
ice and ignorance that lets them be
bluffed into showing off as a good
sport just because some folks think
it's the thing to do"
Showing off as a good sport isn't
confined entirely to masculinity. Girls
have been inoculated to an unfortu-
nate extent.
The other evening a young engaged
couple were visiting us.
I'll never forget the first time T
went u with Charlie" said the girl.
1T wac a party Of young folks, and
we had a midnight supper at the ho-
tel after the theater. It was q pref
ty gay crowd, and most Of them were
strangers to me.
"Just before we got to the hotel
Charlie whispered to me: Now mind,
Clara; don't you take anything to
drink, even If the other girls do
II was really insulted, because I
never dreamed Of doing anythink like
that"
WELL" explained Charlie, "I only
said it because she's so young, and I
knew she hadn't been out in a crowd
like that before, and 1 was afraid
she'd think she had to be a good
sport and do like the other girls did.
That's usually the way girls begin
drinking, you know. Some fellow asks
them, and they think they've got to
show off what good sports they are,
Or they see other girls doing it, and
they think they'll be considered slow
If they don't do like the Others"

THE PRESIDENT ON BUSINESS.

President Wilson seeks to make it
plain that he intends no warfare on
business, big OF little, and that he sees
IN the fact tina a man has made a
success in business, and is the manager
OF large enterprises, no reason for
casting suspicion on him. The express
sion was given in connection with the
nomination of Paul Warburg Of New
York, for a position on the federal re-
serve board. Mr. Warburg was nomi-
mated with others, but a day or two
ago he telephoned to the president
asking that he be not considered for
the position. He gave as his reason
for this action the fact hat he did not
wish to be subjected to questioning
similar to that through which some
other nominees had gone.
According to one point Of vitw, the
man who is a candidate for a public
position must expect that he be SUBJ
5ected to a rigid investigation with
reference to his character and ability,
and that reluctance to answer ques-
lions implies that there is something
which he wishes to keep covered up.
On the other hand is the fact that the
moment a man prominent in the bus
mess world is placed in a position
where such a thing is possible, a lot
Of small-bore politicians avail them
selves Of the opportunity to cross
question him as if he were a prisoner
suspected of burglary, with the evil
dence very much against him, who
has taken the stand in his own de-
tense. We see in almost every inves-
tigation Of anything or anybody by
a congressional committee illustrations
Of this tendency.
We take it that Mr.. Warburg is a
responsible and reputable business
man. otherwise he would not have
been selected by a president of the
United States after due deliberation
for an exceedingly important and re-
sponsible position. And it is not sur
prising that a man Of this stamp
should dislike to place himself in a
position where some impertinent DEM
agogue can require him to state I'M
der oath whether or not his grand
mother sucked eggs, and If she came
by them honestly.

tributing editor" whatever thai may
be. He had nothing to do with shap-
ing the policy of the Outlook, nor. for
that matter, had the magazine any
thing to do with shaping his policy.
His duty seemed to consist in the writ
ing Of an article whenever he thought
fit, and express therein any opinions
he happened to entertain. Those
opinions might be Numerically op-
posed to the opinions Of the manage
ment. and sometimes they were, but
1t was a part Of the understanding
that there should be perfect freedom
in this respect.
The reason given for Roosevelt's re-
tirement from his magazine position
is that he wished to devote his entire
time to politics. The manager OF the
concern rays that differences of opin-
ion have not tended to bring about the
resignation. However, since the res
ignation has been made public there
has been ON looking over the rec
ords, and many cases are cited in
which marked differences Of opinion
existed. The Outlook and its distin-
guished employee have differed on the
tariff, on the currency bill, on the tolls
question, on trade legislation. and on
some other things, and citations are
made from the columns OF the Out
look to show that these differences
have existed.
However, whatever the cause Of the
resignation, there is no doubt that the
colonel will be better satisfied I'M
harnpered by any permanent business
arrangement, and free to mix in the
fight as he pleases.

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS.

It isn't only the people who have
autos who are always running down
their neighbors.
You may be able to convince a man
that he is wrong, but you won't con-
vince him that you are right.
A woman doesn't always stop in
front Of a window to look over what
is displayed therein. She wants some
other woman to pass her so she can
get a look at the rear Of the dress she
is wearing.
The reason some men get SIS per
week all their lives Is because they
are afraid they might earn more than
they get.
What has become of the old-fash-
toned preacher who hasn't. any creases
in his trousers and who got down on
his knees when he prayed?
1t is O mighty dull day that doesn't
bring a married woman it's "scoldin' "
opportunity.
You may have noticed that ont one
of the eminent foreigners who have
been criticizing the American girl has
dared to say that she is over-dressed.
Why do boys love dogs and throw
rocks at cats?
It takes a mighty smart man to
know how to say nothing at the right
time.
It would be a fine thing if more
people would get the Bill Bryan habit
and do all their talking on the chau-
tauqua circuit. There is no law COM
polling you to attend a chautauqua.
None of us are perfect. But that
doesn't keep a man who wears tou-
pee under his hat from laughing at
the fish hook curls the girls are wear
ing.
If you are not married to her, a
woman doesn't care whether you are
lying Or not as long as you tell her
the things she wants to hear.
Once in a while you will see a corn
fed girl o. the street who gives you
the idea that she made a mistake that
morning and put on her little sisters
skirt.

A lot Of men go into things against
their better Judgment" remarked a
successful. business man, because
they don't want to be accused Of lack
ing in courage. There's too much Of
this BE a sport, old fellow!E Every
man wants to be a good sport these
days. Many are ashamed to be eau
tious Or conservative. They take
chances and make fools of themselves,
risk regulations, livelihood, and fam
ily's peace of mind, to say nothing Of
life and limb, 81 they a be called
good sports by the rest Of the fellows.
Makes me think Of when I was q
boy" he reflected.
you know how kids are-they're
keen on what they call sand A kid
that hasn't sand might as well crawl
into a hole and give up the ghost.
Some ways of showing you had
sand was to do foolhardy things. For
instance, we'd go down in the harbor
and climb the boat masts. The fell
low hat had sand could climb to the
top and put his head on the ball.
1T took sand to go u where the
ice was thin. Many a boys been
drowned showing off his sand be-
cause he went on thin ice In spite Of
older folks warnings.
II guess I was just as keen to show
I had sand as any Of the other kids.
But as / grew older and got ONE un-
Outstanding I began to think about it,
and finally I made up my mind that
taking foolish and Unnecessary risks
wasn't sand at all. 1t was ignorance.
What was called sand by the kids
in my young days is called being a
good sport by the men of today. And

POSSIBLY A MISTAKE.

Colonel George Harvey, who edits
the North American Review, and who
gets a lot Of fun in sticking brads into
The Wilson administration, varies his
form Of amusement occasionally, and
he has Just been paying a little at
tention to Colonel Roosevelt. Among
other things he says that three
months ago Roosevelt could have
placed himself at the head Of the
Republican party had he so desired,
but that it is too late now. The lat
ter statement we believe to be correct,
but the former one strikes us as a
mistake.
When Roosevelt left the RepubE-
can party two years ago he intended.
We believe, to leave it for good. Prob
ably things in his new party ave not
turned out exactly as he expected and
hoped, and it is possible that he has
had some desire to step over the
fence again and occupy q position
or rather, the position-of leadership
in tho party which he did his best to
destroy. But, while there has been
ZONE talk Of Roosevelt again heading
the party, and some Republicans have
expressed q desire for him to do SO,
we do not believe that there has been
q time since the Progressive party was
created when it would have been pos
sible to secure any substantial sup
port for Roosevelt as the head Of a
reconstructed Republican party. Had
such an effort been made, some peo-
pie would have declared for it, but
it could not have succeeded, and
there 10 no prospect that conditions
will arise under which 1t will be posi-
BILE for It to succeed.

A New Yorker tells of a visit he
made to Coney island for the pur-
pose of showing a friend from Arkan-
sas the sights of that famous resort.
Now, the man from the southwest had
never seen the ocean. So, as he stood
gazing out owe the surf the New
Yorker maintained a discreet silence
while the inlander should reflect upon
the sight.

scious Of the sunset, but he shivered
with fear when the weird gray came
over the sky and fields, and whipped
the horses to a faster gait. His mind
was suddenly made up. He would go
and see after Del.
His mother said nothing. though
likely h guessed the real reason of
the sudden trip. He packed a bag
and took the early morning train,
CURLY uncommunicative when Smith,
the gossiping ticket agent, wanted to
know the why and wherefore and
length of business that was taking
him to Chicago.
Whats that about your receipts
not balancing with the tickets you
sold?" Ebert coolly Interrupted.
Smiths fat face got red. Say,
that's a liz some ones putting out
about me! Let me explain" And in
explaining he forgot Del.
Ebert had been in Chicago only
three times, and then only for a few
days. But fear and love cleared his
hotel, left his bag n then set about
finding Del. He had known the first
place where she worked. a depart
ment store. For a while she had writ
ten him short. breezy letters. We
wen there, found a girl who knew
her, and learned that she had left
for q better paying position as cashier
in a restaurant. The owner, a bust
ness like Greek, regretted that he had
lost her. She drew trade and could
figure. You don't find the combination
often, he sighed. But she saved
enough to learn stenography. He
knew the name Of the business school.
Ebert wen there. Yes. they re-
membered her quite we'll. although
they hadn't seen her for about three
years. Her position was in a small
real estate Office on the north side.
They had a record.
Ebert went there. The man at the
shabby roll-top desk remembered her.
Sure! Pretty girl-sweet as a peach.
Ebert wanted to kick him, but held
his foot back. Um-m-m. She had
gone to another firm. More pay. That
was always the way. You took q
green girl from a business school, and
broke her In. and as soon as she
knew the ropes, III she scooted where
she could get more. And he bet she
was working harder for Jaggers'
company than she ever did for him.
Ebert left and went to Jaggers'
company. Miss Brent had left them
gret. She was an exceptionally clever
young woman. But they were glad
that she had beon able to better her
self. She deserved it-even SO high
a position as private secretary to the
president Of the Useepa Food COM

relief when word was brought back
that Miss Brent had gone home ten
minutes ago. He rose with alacrity.
He would rather meet her at a room
ing house.
1t was a half-hour's ride, and when
he got off he began seriously to doubt
JOS word. There was no poverty on
that street-nothing luxurious, but
plain, substantial. stone houses. He
rang the bell Of the number given
him. And until that minute he did
not realize how he had wanted to see
the girl and how it had hurt him to
think that she was down. Then the
door opened. He went into a rather
dark parlor. Although he did not
know it, It was the usual parlor of a
middle class rooming house. Del
came down, slim, white-faced, plainly
dressed in q dark blue dress. All her
frills and business and jingly brace
lets and chains were lacking. Ebert
stared at her and took her cordial
outstretched hand in stupid silence,
for he was wiser than 10, and the
search had prepared him and he saw
clearly tina her clothes. though plain,
cost more than the cheap frills she
used to wear and that her white face
